INDIANA DOLLAR SLIPPING AGAIN IN COST FIGHT Government Experts Put Blame on Second Period of Inflation, By JOHN CARSON' Times Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, March 38.—The old dollar Is slipping again In Its light with the cost of living in Indiana. Bank in May of 2920, the average Indiana dollar was worth only 40 cents. In January of last year, it had recovered enough to he worth 72tj cents. During February of tills year the average value was about €3% cents. Seek the cause of this falling power of the dollar and the answer from the Government experts is “inflation.” Just now they whisper It. They tejl you the dollar is a little sick again, but not dangerously CL Secondary Inflation "We are in a secondary period of Inflation,” they advise in their technical language. "We must watch our step or we will be in it up to the snaps on our poeke-books. It’s not going to be as bad as 1920, however.” What do they mean by that? Well, they'll draw you a number of charts that look like toboggan slides. Then they'll say the "economic moweniont” following the war was certain to be just like the chart. The dollar was at the bottom In May of 1920 and then it rushed up the slide until ’ st February, when it started down again. Now with the "secondary inflation” tt is going down and down. Prices on articles involved In the cost of living is a very good Indication of "Inflation,” but it is not absolute proof, according to the experts. Better proof Is had when prices go up and we do not produce a corresponding increased number of goods. As an example, the exports show that in May of 1920, prices were about 171 points more than normal. Production at that time was only about A l-10 points above normal Now prices are about 41 points mere than normal and production is only about 1414 points increase. Comparison of conditions In May of 1920 and this year shows why the experts are not yet worried over your dollar.

Inflation Is “Spotty* Then they'll tell you inflation now is j “spotty." In the building industry, j there has been enough inflation to cause the Government to stop all! building projects. Prices axe too high, it is contended. On the other hand, rubber prices are down as low. and perhaps a little lower, than they should be. Why are they worried over this “inflation.” Well, every one remembers 1919 and 1920, the era af silk shirts and limousines and the don’t- , give-a-hßug-what-it-costs. The experts j liken that period to a wild, wCd night. ! We had the “morning after," the period of “deflation" with its unemploy- j ment and falling prices. One follows j the other, inevitably. They are' de- j termlned this time the “inflation" Is not going high enough to cause worry ibout another “morning after." MAN HELD AFTER ATTACK Logan Knrl Arrested Following Dispute at Coal Yards.

JAZZ FEVER has been filmed at last. That is what, the pretty and striking Mae Murray suffers so beau- ; tlfully with in “Jazzmanla,” hor la- | test movie coming to the Ohio next week.

Rodolph Valentino—himself in person ond his wife. Nate ha Rambova, are coming to Indianapolis Wednesday of next week, and will appear in a dance exhibition at Tomlinson Hall as ; the feature of a big public dance to | be given for the purpose of bringing tho Va!entries to town. Jack Curley, who Is directing the nation-wide tour of Rodolph and his wife is expeoted to arrive here today to complete arrangements. Valentino resorted to the dance tour because of hts much-mooted contract with a movie corporation, which Valentino holds is unfair and unjust to him, and he refused to work undtr it. j The movie concern retaliated by getting an injunction which prohibits Valentino from making pictures for any one else or from appearing on the stage in theaters. Valentino has carried his case to ! the court of public opinion, and meantime is earning a living by falling i back on his old profession—that of a ballroom dancer. He was a dancer when he first entered pictures, and it j was as a dancer in the film production, j “The Four Horsemen,” that he cap- J • tured the fancy of motion picture patrons and became a star over night. Accompanying the Valentino party, which travels In a private car. Is a famous New York dance orchestra which furnishes musio for the public dance, as well as for the exhibition given by Rudolph and his wife. The j itinerary calls for but one day in each j city.
