John Zener’s “bob-tailed flush.” of the most necessary parts of the U| equipment of a politician is what is known as a poker face. The politician, to be successful, must be good at the great game ■>f bluffing. •John Zener, ex-police captain, Mayor Shank’s handy man-of-all-work and more or less useful adjunct to the Lemcke campaign, attempted to put up a bluff in connection with the movement for the city manager form of government and failed. Zener decided when the city manager movement was started that the best way to block such a beneficial change in city government was to circulate commission petitions. So the policemen and firemen were called together and given commission petitions and told to go out and get signatures. They went. Otherwise they would not have been right politically and would have been subject to punishment. A short time later Zener, largely with the able assistance of Bill Armitage’s and Ralph Lemcke’s favorite newspaper, broadcast the fact that some 37,000 signatures had been obtained to the commission petition. Meanwhile, Lew Shank was changing his mind on the average of twice a day as to where he stood on the form of government for Indianapolis. But Zener's petition was not tiled. It was carried around to a safe deposit ’ jx and there left under lock and key. “Now,” announced Zener, as he shook down another city employe for a campaign “contribution, “if anyone dares file a city manager petition I shall file my commission petition and thus muddy up the waters so that Mayor Shank’s favorite candidate or someone else can be elected mayor." But Zener didn’t have a good poker face. He couldn’t conceal the fact that he was holdingyonly a four-card flush, which, as any poker player knows, is worse than nothing. The ex-police captain wasn’t good at bluffing. Ju fact, he finally has admitted the fact that he doesn’t have a bona-fide commission petition. .Instead of 37,000 names, he admits he has 10,000 or less. At least 20,000 names are necessary. ’ So the commission petition ceases to be a factor in the Indianapolis political situation for the reason that there isn’t any commission petition. Indianapolis citizens interested in good government have been working to call Zener’s bluff and would have called it in a short time, if he had not admitted he was bluffing. Zener’s admission puts Indianapolis just one step further towatd city manager government. The manager petition—which, unlike

The majority members refused to do this. , The reason for their refusal possibly is found in the first section of the Merchant Marine Act. It reads: “That it is necessary for the national defense and for the proper growth of foreign and domestic commerce that the United States shall have a merchant marine of the best equipped and most suitable type of vessels sufficient to carry the greater portion of its commerce and serve as a naval op military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency, ultimately to be owned and operated privately by citizens of the United States, and it is hereby declared to he the policy of the United States to do whatever may be necessary to develop and encourage the maintenance of a merchant marine and in so far as may m t he inconsistent with the express provisions of this act, the United States Shipping Board shall, in the disposition of vessels and shipping property as hereinafter provided, in the making of rules and regulations, and in the administration of shipping laws, keep always in view this purpose and object as the primary end to be obtained.’ ’ Note the specific requirement that permanent operation and replacement he assured in ?ase of sale of government vessels to private nperators. Under the terms of sale just made the Dol’ar company promises to operate the vessels to the Orient for five years and promises nothing more. The Dollar company always has operated under the flag most advantageous to itself. During the World War it operated under the British Flag. In case of a war on the Pacific, at the end of the five years, there is no telling what flag the Dollar company might select. Certainly there is no assurance that thee Unted States Navy could call these vessels nto service as naval auxiliaries. One of the principal purposes of the Mer ’bant Marine Act, one of the principal grounds vvliich the taxpayers’ money w-as used for the •onstruction of these vessels, is ignored. The Administration wants to get out of the shipping business before any farther showing of profits is made. In its haste to do so, it may appear to a lay reader of the law, the Administration is flagrantly violating both the spirit and the letter of the statutes.

Boiling is the commonest method of making coffee and perhaps the most economical, but It produces the least delicacy of flavor, and develops a greater amount of tannic acid. Coffee made in a percolator, through which the boiling water runs over the finely ground coffee, thus extracting the flavor, produces a much finer flavor.

That is exactly Lewis Stone what Doris (Marts ueri t e de la Motto) tells Dick (Conrad Nagel) when he objects to Doris associating with Evelyn. But Doris is just oldfashioned enough to demand the wedding ring, march up the church aisle and even the music she started housekeeping with Dick. The story centers about the method used by Evelyn to ruin Jim Knight financially when she feared that he

surdly disproportionate to those paid real teaching and research geniuses. And so on down the list. Sometimes It seems that the chief aim of colleges is athletic glory, and that the purpose of education is to exploit nimble legs instead of minds. But neither students nor colleges are entirely responsible. The general public pmst share the blame. The antics of a molecule of hydrogen may thrill .scientists and be of importance but it won't draw a crowd. People don't Jam stadiw and yell themselves hoar at contests between chemical rmulae and verbs — whh they do at football games. This popular attitude toward the athletic side of college activities encourages the expansion of sports. But the result is not altogether evil. Victorious athletic teams attract students, new buildings, fatten endownments and financial support of When sports are coducted on a scale that mental, college faculties have power—ts they will use It—to deflate them. PARTNERSHIP OR JOB IRS. CLARA HENNINGER. wife of a prominent farmer L-___ near Logansport, In suing for divorce demands $4,500 pay for work on the farm during twelve years of married life. She claims she not only kept up her household duties, but had to work In the fields practically every day. ■Doubtless she earned wages, but if she collects. It will establish a and: ngerous precedent. A farmer won't dare marry to save cost, of a hired man. Multitudes of wives have worked themselves Into the grave without getting a dime In real money. The wife's stAtus —according to the old conception—was that of a chattel, like a horse or other domestic animal. Perhaps that is the tight idea, but it has received black eye In recent years. Advanced thinkers now claim women are human beings with just claims to remuneration for labor. - Os course few wives are adequately paid yet. An investigator recently computed that the average lowa farmer’s wife, paid at the market price, earns a salary of $4,600 a year. She would have an interesting time collecting. Average farms afford S4OO-a-month help. Perhaps matrimony will never be Ideally commercialized. However wives have ceased to be chattels and husbands. wjth increasing frequency, who fail to take wives Into partnership have to pay them by the Job. AUTO LICENSE REVOKED m\COB MATHIS.

She has an odd beauty, but can not see why men go wild over such a type. But this is Just a movie story, you know. When the flat-tire blows up ompletely. Jim has a revolver handy and uses It to such an advantage that he goes to some sort of an eternal hunting ground. But Doris and Dick live happy every afterwards. Claude dllingwater as an old banker who finally falls for a silly girl as a wife, has a thankless role. He hasn’t a chance to get anyplace with this sort of a role.

released hint with a dollar fine and a lecture. Which penalty is more likely to promote highway safety and. reduce accidents—revocation of license or a dollar lecture? Loss of license hurts the victinv It removes him from the highways as effectually as a year in prison. Perhaps it seems severe in a case where there was neither death nor dismemberment. However, the number of auto- - mobile accidents falls or rises with the rigor" or laxity with which driving laws are enforced. Street accidents are most numerous when the police war against speeders smolders. Intoxicated drivers are admittedly dangerous and cause many accidents. With them reprimands and exaction of total abstinence pledges are ineffective. Revoca-t tion of license curbs them. A | thirsty offender can't backslide from that. THE HORSESHOERS’ CONVENTION SHE Master Horseshoera of Indiana will hold their twenty-sixth annual convention at Auburn tomorrow. The meeting won't excite public interest; it is only an unpretentious gathering of a minor craft. After the business session, delegates will be taken for an automobile ride. What an incongruity! Like a brewmasters’ convention adjourning for an ice cream social. A generation ago, horseshoers were Important personages. The village smithy bulked large In song, story and community life, and its artisan-proprietor was the town authority on metallurgy and metal working. Barefooted village urchins paused at the shop door entranced by the anvil's slang, the shooting sparks and the acrid smell of sizzling equine hoofs. Many boys, of that period wavered between blacksmithing and Indian scouting as a life work. Now all Is changed. The village blacksmith shop has l>een relegated to obscurity. Tire shops, filling stations and garages elbow It Into alleys. Mechanically Inclined urchins tinker with radio or steal automobiles. Many people will be surprised to know there are enough horseshoers extant to hold a convention. But though the grandeur that was Rome and the glory that was Greece has departed from the trade, and youth no longer worships at his shrine, the horseshoer still flourishes. He will continue In a minor key until the horse lays down his burden. FUND TO BE HANDLED Corporation to Administrate legion Endowment Fund.

fair with Bobby Austin, played by Ben Lyon. Bobby was only a clerk In an English office and Just how this juvenile could be of such Importance in the society world is beyond me. To my way of thinking, this basic idea makes the story unconvincing and weak. But Lady Hutton decided that she was going to prevent Bobby marrying a girl of his own age. She decided to force him to be a cheaat at cards. She succeeds but, of course, is discovered. It is then that Anna Q. Nilson does some wonderful but unpleasant dramatic acting. I call it great acting when she grows old and ugly right liefore your very eyes. A splendid piece of work in an ordinary story. When she la old and ugly, she learns that her husband loves her more than ever. Happy ending. I take it that the story la ultraEnglish but the director has placed American types In the roles and this destroys the needed English atmosphere. Ben Lyon Is rightly cast ns he plays the role of an American chap. Miss Nilsson Is eaayto conceive aa an English lady of fashion, but her companions are not. There is some Lad casting in this movie.

Cruze directed “The Covered Wagon,” and his latest release Is "The Goose Hangs High." It is a story of an American family with a flapper, a young sheik, a grandmother who is very old-fash-ioned, a modern mother and a father who builds a real home. You will meet two real youngsters in it. that is youthful actors—Constance Bennett, who acts a great deal like Ruth Gordon did In "Clarence" and “Seventeen,’’ and Edward Pell Jr., a lad who is there. These two young people do not have to act. They know the spirit and thoughts of the young folk today. Roth do a great deal of flapping. but when the shouting is over they still are the real goods. The thing I like about the characters in this American Main St. home Is that they are real. They seem to do the things that real people do In the real American home. A flapper is not a menace. It Is simply a term which characterizes the actions of young people who have independence and a whole lot of personality. "The Goose Hangs High” was a success on the stage with Mrß. Thomas Whiffen as "Granny," who thought all young people were going

straight to the devil. But Granny is a rel sort after all. Where there is a flapper and a sheik in a home you will be sure to find a tikelele and lot of fox trotting and many wise remarks. The young sheik in this story even discusses sex and the influence of the home upon the ideals of the youth today. They make it difficult for Granny to keep pace with their strange lingo as "the cat’s tonsils" and such jazzy remarks, but Grandma sails pretty fast, even in her old day. She has her doubts about the true meaning of certain remarks, but she has her own vocabulary also. Here is a good American family life story which rings true.

That’s true of the meek-llke and also the gruff, and It's true of both women and men. When somebody tell you that some friend has said a word that’s a compliment quite, they're feeding you praise that you like to be fed. Be fair and admit that I’m right. No matter how far you may slip In your work, It seems you can always come back, and switch to new life from the small run of shirk, If you lust get a slap on the back. The real Inspiration that comes to a man Is really the work of a friend. He clears up your doubt; makes you know that you can. It’s the praising that helps in the end. Give credit to Doosters whose credit is loosed and give you ambition to try. But say, after all. if your family can boost—well, you must be a regular guy.

MEDITATION—WhiIe It Is true that we can each one decide for himself the way he will go In life, It Is just as true that having de* elded on a course of action we must accept the results which mark the end of that course. There Is moral authority In the world and the end of the Journey Is marked from the beginning. Jesus did not moke thej punishment of evil, he simply stated what that punishment is. His Father’s house was a house of prayer and men had made It an evil place. He did not temporize or seek to persuade but drove tho evildoers from the temple that good men might come and worship. Thus we must cleanse our lives. We cannot keep evil thoughts and holy ambitions in the same heart. Let us cleanse the temple of the Holy Spirit! PRAYER—Almighty God our Father, create within us clean hearts. Drive out all unholy desires and passions. Make thou our souls fit com* panlons of thy spirit. Let us feel deferdence upon thy word.
