CHICKIE It's the greatest girl story ever written. Starts in next Wednesday’s Times THE TIMES has bought the exclusive right to publish ‘'Chickie,” the greatest girl story ever written. It’s fiction, but it’s true. It tells honestly, frankly, decently, the story of what is-happening to girls in Indianapolis every day. Every mother should read it and find in it the moral for her own daugh*er ’ or * ier own Soll ‘ Every girl should read dHI jjlagfix; it, for it points out the many, many pitfalls that confront girls in Indian- ( * Never was there writtin a' story more true to life. /Never,was there written a story containing a greater lesson. It answers the questions in the minds of anxious mpthers, in this day of rapid moral and mental evolution. It responds to the misgivings in the minds and hearts of girls. ' If you miss Chickie, you will miss the one great story that deals with life in your own generation. Chickie is 16, high-minded and the product of careful rearing; -. • . . . ** Life perplexes her. i She is curious. She know WHAT. She .vants to know WHY. For instance, there is that eternal question about a kiss. Is there anything wrong in a kiss? Well, that depends 1 Mary Blake tells her: The trouble with a kiss is that it isn't a Quality but a prelude. But Janina looks at it differently. ‘Janina says: A kiss is but a small coin tossed to the men who entertain us, like a tip to the waiter . What is Chickie to believe! • • • MARY BLAKE sees evil in its ugly nakedness. Janina dolls up evil and justifies it as being a part of woman’s new freedom. She says: For a hundred centuries men have done as they pleased; the race seems to have survived. Now, because women are stepping out into the sun, hear folks shout. We're sending the world to ruin! Too bad! I guess the old world will wag on willy-nilly — Janina has drunk deep of the cup of knowledge. Perhaps it is the bitterness that she herself has found in the dregs that prompts her to seek justification. She bases justification upon tradition. She says: There was Eve, the first woman! She C ejected from Paradise for disorderly uct. That’s the stock argument of those who would destroy purity. They step from the straight path, flippantly declaring : “Everybody is doing it.” But Chickie is too fine fibered to believe that the world is ae wicked as Janina pictures it. The, coarse, the sordid cannot tempt Chickie. It merely nauseates her. • © • B UT> out in this great city of Indianapolis the lights burn brightly at night. Then temptation arrays itself in glad clothes. It sparkles up and lures and lures and lures. Good girls like Chickie do not leap into it with a single bound. . .But it draws them—just a little nearer, just a little nearer, night by night. On its surface it is a beautiful thing, is this temptation. It is attunded to the rhythm of music. It bears the brand of respectability. Girls* yield to it because they do not know. They do * not understand that beneath the veneer, temntation is an ugly monster that breaks the hearts of those who yield. But does Chickie yield ? She has intelligence. Has she enough intelligence to b understand before it is too late! You will find the answer in CHICKIE—the tremendous ptory of life that will grip you; that will overwhelm you mith its great truth; that will make YOU see, Mother/the mbings that you ought to see before it is everlastingly too late; the thing that YOU ought to see, Daughter, to the end that you be forewarned. | READ CHICKIE IN THE TIMES, BEGINNING NEXT WEDNESDAY.

SCHOOL PLAN IS SHORT OF ROOM NEEDS Survey Shows City Will Lack Proper Housing for Hundreds of High Students Even After $2,260,000 Three-Year Program Is Finished. With a building program of $2,250,000 for three new high schools, to be built within the next three years, and a proposed expenditure next summer of $410,000 for additional rooms for grade schools, the problem of housing Indianapolis school children will not be solved, it is shown by a survey of the school situation.

The board today approved in a general way, tentative plane for the Shortridge High School which will house about 2,500 students. The building is to have 63 class rooms, two gymnasiums, besides 17 rooms for laboratories, shop rooms and domestic science rooms and a large auditorium. By the time the new Shortridge can be opened the high school population will have increased about 2,700, it is indicated. The increase in the number of school children is more rapid than the increase In the housing facilities being made. The problem seems to be one of geometric progression with the demand for rooms increasing faster than the school board can provide* them. "With building halted during the-war and the failure to accelerate Building since the war the beard is hoplessly behind. A total of 7,491 grade school children are improperly housed In cloak-rooms, portable frame houses, attic-rooms and buildings and rooms never intended for school purposes. About 1,760 high school pupils, beyond the capacity of present buildings, are crowded together, the Survey shows. 132 Rooms Needed In a recent report of the buildings and grounds committee to the board it was estimated the present urgent needs of the grade schools call for an expenditure of $2,267,000 which would provide 132 new class rooms; and fourteen gymnasibms and auditoriums. With only $371,000 avail able the board has decided to build twenty-eight rooms and two auditoriums at an approximate cost of $410,000 trusting to favorable bids to lower the estimated price. Grade school children increase about 1,200 annually, according to Murray A. Dalman, head of the research department, and high school pupils Increase about 900 each year. This means about thirty-two new classrooms are needed each year to care for the increasing number of children in the grades. * With an increase of 900 high school pupils yearly, every two years anew high school to accommodate 1.800 pupils could be filled to capacity. Technical Deplorably Crowded Technical high school is deplorably overcrowded, according to Principal Milo H. Stuart. Stuart says the school has 1,600 too many students now.

SHEPHERDSTARTS FINAL FIGHT FOR FREEDOM BAIL Olson Will Inquire Into Serious Illness of Girl Engaged to Ward, By Catted Press CHICAGO, March 23.—William D. Shepherd manifested a keen Interest in bacteriology. Dr. C. C. Fainmn testified today at the hearing to determine whether Shepherd shall be given his freedom on bpil pending trial on the charge that he murdered his millionaire ward, William McCllntock. Dr. Falman, who was questioned Saturday again took the stand today * and was asked to cover important points not already disclosed by him. “Shepherd asked me for textbooks on bacteriology,” Dr. Falman said. “I gave him the names of a few. Then I gave him my own lesson sheets on the subject. He wanted all the information on the subject he could get.” Dr. Falman said he was questioned by the State's attorney and Chief Justice Harry Olson of the municipal court several times before he revealed that Shepherd had come to his school for a course in germ study. Meanwhile, Judge Olson, chief instigator of the probe into the young millionaire's death, announced he would make inquiries Into the illness of Miss. Isabelle Pope, the beautiful society girl, who was to have become McCllntock's bride. Health Commissioner Herman N. Bundesen today started an investigation of Falman's story he got the typhoid germs from the city health department. Dr. Bundeeen said germs would not have been given Falman unless an inspection had been made of the hospital and school and he said this had not been done. Major Percy Owen, federal prohibition director, is said to be llvestigatlng Falman's unlicensed school and hospital as the possible means of getting alcohol and dope from the Government for peddlers. Winfield Scott Hoerger, health inspector, formerly In charge of typhoid germs at the city laboratory, and whose name appears as director of the college laboratories on Falman's stationery, probably will be brought before the coroner’s Jury which resumes the inquest Tuesday. Dr. Falman denied having received a promise of leniency from State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe for his confession and willingness to act as a prosecuting witness. William Scott Stewart, one of the defense counsel, attempted to show Dr. Falman had received assurances of reward. "The only thing Mr. Crowe promised me was that I would be given consideration, and that I would have a severance of trial,” the witness declared.
