CHURCH TO HONOR REV. PHILPUTT ' WITH RECEPTION Centra! Christian to Observe Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Pastor. BY THE VISITOR Twenty-five years ago when the Rev. A. B. Philputt stepped into the pulpit as pastor of the Central Christian Church there were two big questions being discussed. One was Dewey's great victory in Manila Bay. The other was how to control and avoid being hit by the pesky bicycles. The times and the questions of the day have changed, but Dr. Philputt still remains as pastor of the Central Christian Church. The bicycle is no longer a traffic menace. Bicycle riding is no longer the favorite pastime of society leaders. On Friday night ar the Central "’hristlan, Dr. and Mrs. Philputt and heir daughter. Miss Grace, will be the cuests of honor at a reception tendered by the church in honor of rwenty-flve years of “faithful service.’’ Prominent church leaders, business and professional people of Indianapolis as well as members of the church Will attend. The twenty-five years in which Dr. | r> hi!putt has been a leading citizen, he 'lias had the friendship of hosts of prominent men and women. He was the friend of Riley and of General tv allace. Dr. Philputt probably has performed more wedding ceremonies than any other active minister in the city, “When I came here twenty-five years ago from Philadelphia.’’ Dr.

1 Philputt said, “I ran into a funny thing. In Philadelphia in those days | is was highly improper to read Sunj day papers. “On my first Sunday in Indianapolis, Howard Cale, then an attorney in the office of General Harrison, came into the Sunday school room and told us_ all about what Dewey | had done to the Spanish fleet. I i asked him in amazement where he I had obtained his information. He told me in the Sunday papers. Then I realized I was not In Philadelphia.” Dr. Philputt has had a hand in the great growth of the city which he loves. “Indianapolis is a great city," he told me. “I came here in the days of natural gas. Everything looked like spring. The bicycle was the rage in those days. If you didn’t belong to a bicycle club and a literary club you were not in the swim. “The intellectual life of the city has grown. We have great religious interests here. There are now many churches. The church has grown here. I think that law enforcement Is better now than then. “T have enjoyed my life in Indian apolis,” he said, with great feeling. “The Central Christian Church has been so kind and good to me.” Twenty-five years ago Dr. Philputt’s congregation numbered about 800, but today the active membership is more than 2,000.

ESCHBACH TELLS OF LAW EVASIONS . IN PUBLIC OFFICE 'Honest Fools’ in Majority, Says Former Head of Accounts Board, Evasions of the law by county and township officials In Indiana were described by Jesse E. Eschbach, former chief examiner of the board of accounts, in a talk before the Indianapolis Bar Association at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night. Eschbach declared that the people elect many “honest fools” and “‘wise crooks” to public office, but that of those brought before the accounts board the “honest fools” are In the majority. “There are county engineers who secure their bridge plans from bridge companies without charge and are paid the usual 4 per cent by the counties," he said. He declared some architects specify certain materials in order to favor certain dealers. Eschbach said when most of the trustees in the State changed office Jan. 1. it was discovered that in many eases no supplies had been left in the offices—that even pencils and blotters were gone. “In one county,” he said, “we found commissioners ha/1 provided two sets of plans and specifications for a public building. When the favorite contractor received the job, plans for a good building of high grade material were destroyed and the inferior plans substituted. “In on# county in southeastern Indiana. we found that the architect had neglected to provide a heating plant for anew school building, which could very easily be listed as an extra for which additional money could be col lected."
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
We All Said’ Howdy, Glad You’re Back’ to Walker, Bowker, Lowry and Others
By WALTER D HICKMAN FRIENDSHIP Jg a wonderful thing. Even more wonderful when It ie won through artistic and sincere efforts. There was no misunderstanding regarding the welcome given Stuart Walker and his players last night at the Murat at the opening of Walker’s seventh season. There Is a definite reason for the great welcome given the producer and his company. The success of the Walker idea here is due to two forces —the Walker company and the support given them by Indianapolis. It must have done the heart of Aldrich Bowker much good when he appeared in the last act of "Rollo’s Wild Oat” and heard the prolonged ovation. The applause didn't stop with '.he first entrance of this artist, but Increased as be gave us one of the most finished characterizations ever 6een upon the Murat stage in my experience of covering local theaters. Judith Lowry, at times I feel like calling her the "most beloved” of the company, reaped another great harvest of loving applause. STie, too, crashed in with another well drawn characterization. .Spring Bylngton, who came to us last se;ison, realized last night that she. too, is very close to the hearts of Indianapolis playgoers. She brings a breath of Spring, even youth, joy and love to every' character she attempts. Walker appeared at the close of the second act. There was no misunderstanding regarding his ovation. It was definite, sincere and prolonged. He spoke only a few words, but, made it mighty plain that he was glad to be “back home.” Rollo Possessed One Dangerous Wild Oat Rollo Webster possessed only one wild oat. His “oat'' was to play Ham

let In Bill Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” He had his own ideas about putting the “ham" in Hamlet. Rollo’s Hamlet wore a mustache and his own hair. He had the mad desire to be a modern Hamlet. Clare Kummer in writing ‘‘Rollo’s Wild Oat” has turned out a light, and at times a smart comedy. The first and last acts are really the whole play as the second act rather drops in Interest and comedy. It must be admitted that the climax of the second act, where Rollo, as Hamlet, gives up the ghost, is a comedy masterpiece. Tom Powers is the Rollo with the one wild oat. He has made a narqe for himself in New York this season In playing the role of old men. This week he is a young man. Next week he will appea.r very aged. Lucile Nikolas played the role of Lydia, sister of Rollo, who also longed to play Shakespeare. She was given the part of Prologue. She brought a delightful comedy, but sincere touch, to * the characterizations. Really splendid work. Boyd Agi4i as Mr. Stein, a theatrical manager, will be remembered for his well-drawn characterization. He had the lines and many fat comedy lines. He reaped a full harvest of laughs.

Ailing Children Get . Well on Syrup Pepsin
A (mall doie at bedtime brin(t relief and laughter by mornisg HOSPITAL and doctor’s records prove that 75 per cent of human illness has its origin in the intestinal canal, complicated with what is commonly called tS constipation. Realizing what that figure means, mothers should contrive methods of handling their children while they still control them that will prevent these future dangers. Teach children regularity of bowel movement, and be especially watchful of young girls. Insist on two passages a day until the age of 18, when one is usually sufficient. Give plenty of oranges and apples, plenty of butter because it lubricates the intestines, and encourage the drinking of water. If you detect restlessness, belching, gas or wind on the stomach, sleeplessness, or lack of appetite, examine the tongue and you will find it coated, accompanied by unpleasant breath. The child is bilious, constipated. According to age, give from one-half to a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell’s
