Bv United Press LONDON, Jan. 15.—The fateful session of Parliament which may see ascension to power within a week of Great Britain’s first labor government, was opened In state today by King George, who delivered a speech from the throne at noon. As his Majesty’s address was read to the assembled houses, there were crowded at the bar of the House of Lords nearly 200 labor M. P.s, who expect this time next week to be occupying front benches with Ramsay MacDonald as prime minister. There was a tendency to listen attentatively to the king’s words; it is on approval of the speech the vote of confidence In Baldwin’s government will be taken. Among other foreign affairs touched upon in the speech from the throne. King George declared. A “My ministers, together with the ominion representatives, have been anxious to remove the difficulty regarding illicit importation of liquor into the United States and have made proposals for an agreement which is on the eve conclusion. This should further strengthen the happy relations prevailing between the two countries and peoples.” Radio Programs Wednesday Schenectady, N. V. —WGY (Eastern, 380) 6:30 P.

Gf~r~)T OUR BARGAIN COUNIAJ TER TODAY—Fine bookL~ *•! marks of genuine fresh country' bacon.” Original idea, isn't it —raw bacon for bookmarks? As you turn through the leaves of your book looking for the place where you left off reading the increasing size of the grease spot would indicate you were approaching the right page. But raw bacon for bookmarks is not the least of the novel ideas discovered in the book repair department at the public library where the books are taken for patching or cleaning. Necessity, if not always the mother of Invention, is frequently a stimulent to ingenuity. One book came back with a little card pocket in back stuck fast with some of mother's own apple jelly. It had come loose, had to be fixed, no glue in the house—what is one to do? And whatever may be said of Fido's likes and dislikes in the matter of foods, there remains to be discovered another delicacy half so delicious as a book cover just re-

The Man She Dreams of By Janet Constantine
HER ideal—that ghostly figure that Is In the back of every girl's mind —the prince charming who will come some day, bringing romance and
happiness into her life. She wonders how she may win his iove: what she (an do to make herself more attractive in his eyes. But little does she guess the thing above all others that men will love in her —and that is the glow of perfect health. For the young girl, life in all its fullness lies ahead. The healthy, vigorous girl is the girl who is admired by men. A rosebud complexion; a clear skin; steady nerves „ those are the things that men want in the women they choose for their wives. If girls but realized the truth of this. they could
double their own happiness, and their chances for popularity with the opposite sex; but unfortunately there are far too many young women who are careless about their health, and who avoid taking proper care of themselves, which after all, is the most important thing in life. This is the time to build up her strength and remove those weaknesses or ailments which are the seat of her trouble. Read this: Jeffersonville, Ind.—“ Two years ago I was failing and almost broken down in health. I got to the point where I was so weak and nervous 1 could not sleep. Os course I could not work.

Flio Has Preference ► And along with Fido’s preference for the newest of bindings, little Johnny seems to enjoy his reading best with a slice of jam-covered bread on the side. For evidence, witness the unmistakable finger prints, made with Jam and jelly of various and diverse tints, colors and shades on the margin of juvenile books turned in for a periodical bath. Bath? Certainly! Soap and water. It is not only a repair department but a laundry. Juvenile hooks are scoured like any respectable kitchen sink. “Clean Peter,” a delightful little book telling children all about how to keep their little paddies and faces nice and clean, is hourly referred to by librarians as “the dirtfest book in the library.” But back to bookmarks again.

UNUSUAL PEOPLE
Leads Failures to Success
R VKA Service ATTON, Ohio, Jan. 15.—0n the wall of the city mission here is an honor roll containing the names of men who are now leaders in missionary work and other fields, raised from fall@ure to success through the efforts of Peter Quartel, head of the mission. Quartel left a good job In Grand Rapids years ago to enter missionair work here at working since he was 15. Recently he celebrated his fiftieth birthday anniversary with reminstcences of QUARTEL his missl onary work. Without blare of trumpet or grand stand play, It is believed Quartel has brought more persons out of misery and sin than has any one heretofore in this district. “I wouldn't give up this kind of work,” he asserts, “for a position that paid a million dollars a year.” Late Hours Cause Suit In a suit for divorce filed in Circuit Court, William Holtman charges that Mrs. Elizabeth Holtman, 216 N. Summit St., would “go out four or five times a week, and often remain away until 9 p. m ” She also made him get his own breakfasts and mend his clothes, he alleges Charges were denied on behalf of the defendant.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
returned to the library in hooka which are sent In for repair: Hairpins, hair nets, love letters, matches, telephone and coal bills, photographs (mostly of men) and thin dimes. The vogue of turning over the corners of leaves seems to have passed. Readers have a delightful way of leaving behind them bits of their personality on the pages they read. One can almost hear the sigh which went up when some wrote this In the back of “The Rosary.” “Thank God sot This Book.” On the other hand, In “Sartor Resartus,” after the sober finely conceived passage in which the grey veil of forgetfulness closes about a love that promised eternal spring to the beautiful soul who was deserted by her lover, was found the laconic comment, Ditched!” Book Circulation The average book as It comes from the publisher, circulates about eighteen times. It is then sent to a bindery and returns to be circulated on an average of forty times. A brief comment on commercial book binding. Only the more valuable books are rebound the second time. When a book is literally "read to pieces” and after all efforts to nurse It back into some resemblance of its former state have failed, It Is discarded. Six thousand of these utterly mutilated tomes have been discarded in one year. It takes the whole time of five persons In the “book hospital" to "orerate” on damaged books, mending leaves, putting on new backs and the hundred other things calculated to lengthen Its life. Fifteen thousand hooks are repaired in a year. Since July 1, 1923, more than 11,000 books have been sent to the special bindery to be rebound. In the “book hospital” backs of the volumes are shellaced to prevent obliteration of titles and markings as the book Is sent out Into the hands of not overly-careful ;>ersons. Classification numbers are affixed by a tooling process for which the repair shop has special apparatus and Instruments. "Os the making of books there is no end,” we are told by some writer or another. And “of the repairing of books there is no end” Is definitely asserted by the nurses and physicians In the public library “book hospital.” Will Takeoff All Excess Fat Do you know that there la n simple, barmlesa, effective remedy for everratneas that may be used safely and secretly by any man or woman who Is losing the slimneae of youth?

MID-SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT OF Columbia Burlesque FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY CAPITOL THEATRE—“SILK STOCKING REVUE” Early in the season, when “Columbia Burlesque” had planned its entertainments for Indianapolis theatregoers, the Capitol management promised to present light and attractive entertainment that would appeal to every member of the family. We have been fortunate in the patronage of thousands of ladies as proof that we have redeemed a pledge made in good faith to the public. “Columbia Burlesque” now takes account of the good will of Indianapolis and renews its promise to continue high-class, diverting and brightly entertaining fun-shows at the Capitol. This week’s entertainment, “Silk Stocking Revue,” is cited as an example of "Columbia Bur lesque’s” plan of entertainment for the whole family. “Silk Stocking Revue” is one of 38 companies that constitute “Columbia Burlesque.” In 38 clean and well conducted theatres like the Capitol these companies with memberships that average 40 players, present an all-new show every week in 38 cities. The shows are organised in New York and tour the Columbia Circuit intact and complete throughout a season of 38 weeks. “Columbia Burlesque” is no makeshift attempt at entertainment. For more than 20 years skillful showmen have been building up the Colombia Circuit and producing “Columbia Burlesque.” The fruits of this experience are brought to the Capitol in the weekly changed shows that have redeemed “burlesque” from a general state of disrepute and made “Columbia Burlesque” the symbol of wholesome entertainment for man, woman and child. More than 1,500 singers, dancers and show girls are employed in presenting “Columbia Burlesque”—players skilled in the arts of song and dance; comedians who are pastmasters in merrymaking. To garb show girls and principal women in “Columbia Burlesque” style —and that means gorgeous gowns, exclusive designs, beautiful texture and the ultra in fashion’s modes—nearly 10,000 different costumes are required. Each company has at least five leading ladies with 10 changes of costume* at each performance—so gorgeous gowns in every show o” a total of 1,900 in 38 companies. Each “Columbia Burlesque” carries at least 20 youthful choristers, with an average of 10 oostume changes every performance—9,soo individual costumes displayed at the Capitol during the season. Nowhere else can women theatregoers see so much to delight the eye as in the fashion shows of “Columbia Burlesque.” Apart from the jolly fun, tuneful music and joyous dance, ladies find at the Capitol’s daily matinee a feast of fashion in the costume creations that are shown in dazzling array. Women throng the daily matinees and enjoy the full and complete show exactly as given at the evening performances. There are 500 reserved seats at 25 cents for use of women patrons every afternoon—ladies come unattended, in pairs and in theatre parties and have “the time of their life” in orderly and attractive surroundings.
