He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.—Ps. 101:7. There is no killing the suspicion that deceit has once begotten.—George Eliot. K The Game Ends prTjHE city primary campaign comes to an 1* J end today. Tomorrow a part of the voters will go to the polls and express their choices. Two men will be nominated. One of the nominees will be elected next fall. And after the election the city will go along pretty much as it does now, and no one, ' except a few hundred or a few thousand politicians will be affected. \ To the vast majority of the voters of Indianapolis the outcome "will make absolutely no difference. In the city hall we shall have the same or a new political ring. All political rings are pretty much alike. The affairs of the city will be conducted for the benefit of the few. The majority will walk up to the treasurer’s office every six months and pay their taxes; they will expect police protection, but they will not expect very much; in case of fire they will expect the fire department to show up* motorists will continue to bump along through the chuck holes. In other words, nothing much will be changed. Politics as it is played in Indianapolis is simply a game. It is a contest, just as a horse race or a baseball game is a contest. Each contestant has his backers and many of these backers shout themselves blue ir. the sac the majority goes on about its business of earning a living and pursuing happiness—just as it always has done. I The chief difference is that in the game of politics the stakes are higher and everyone contributes. But contribi ting has become an old pastime and we are hardened to it. In the campaign just closing, we have"seen a half-hearted contest between two Democrats, 'Walter Myers and Adolpli Emhardt. It makes little difference who is nominated. Democratic success, in the minds 6f nearly everyone but the Democratic politicians, is too remote a possibility even to excite comment. In the Republican game, w T e have seen a livelier contest. It has been a four-cornered affair with most of the attention centered on John Duvall and Ralph Lemcke, but with Delbert Wilmeth and William Frye also-kicking up the dust. The principal feature of this contest* has been slinging of the muddiest kind of mud. We have seen otherwise level-headed men stand on platforms and hurl epithets—some of them almost unprintable—at their opponents. One of the principal differences between the game of politics and other games is that the element of sportsmanship rarely enters the political game. But after the contest is over, the opponents who called one another names will meet and shake hands and join together to reap the harvest of party success. All of these things have happened many times before. It’s old stuff. Wonder how long the Indians will stay in the first division. - The Assistant Whip rrTINITKI) STATES SENATOR SIMEON and.

The business dates back to 1860, when the original industry was begun on an outlay of $55.00. In that year an American inventor, while making an unsuccessful attempt to vulcanize the sap of the sapota tree for use as a rubber substitute, discovered the similarity of chicle to spruce and cherry gums, the main ,chewing gums hitherto known. In '1914 the chewing gum industry represented a capital investment of $10,000,000, while in 1919 it had more than doubled, being officially registered at $23,703,000. The American public spends for chewing gum considerably more than a million dollars a week. What la the origin of the custom of men raising their hats when speaking to a lady? The Custom originated in this way: Whenever one of our chivalrous anceetors entered a crowd or gathering he was careful to have on his armor and helmet, for lurking foes were numerous In those days, and It behooved every sensible knight tCj. be on his guard and to protect himself as much as possible.
lamed himself, predicts tljat the country will go to the demnition bowwows if there is continued in Congress a group of independentthinking Senators like Borah. La Follette, Norris, Brookhart, Wheeler, Dill. Frazier, Ladd, et al, who refuse to wear the yoke when in their opinion their party is wrong. Therefore Senator Fess will devote much of his time this summer in trying to persuade the people back home to “realize the imperative necessity of party responsibility and the menace of party treachery.” At the same time be is heaping cnconiums on the “regular”—Republican or Democrat, its the case may be — “who abides by party pledges, remains within the traces and sacrifices personal popularity for the sake of party responsibility.” The Coolidge majority evidently leads Senator Fess to conclude that the Grand Old Party has taken an indefinite lease on the Government at Washington. He forgets that since the days of Patrick Henry, the American people have always applauded. encouraged and supported the public servant, who, at the expense of temporary personal comfort, is willing to expose rottenness in government and wrong-doing in high places. Just as the Senate rules permitting free and full debate, which Vice President Dawes wants to curtail, serve a good purpose, so do the Borahs, the La Follettes, the Norrises, and the Brookharts. Independence is necessary if the peoples’ will is to prevail. Trade Commission Draws the Curtain mN accordance with an order adopted by three of the five members of the Federal Trade Commission, secrecy will henceforth be maintained in regard to the greater part of the Commission’s activities. The Commission will abandon its practice of permitting publication of complaints that are filed with it, unless such complaints ultimately lead to formal action against the companies or individual accused of malpractice. If, as is frequently the case, the Commission finds that a company is practicing deceit or unfair business methods, and the company agrees to quit such practice, no publicity will be permitted. This will remove all commercial concerns well out of Ihe danger zone of unfavorable newspaper mention of their misdoings. If caught “with the goods” they have only to agree to stop committing whatever crime they have been practicing, add the matter is ended, all in secret. Another harmful outgrowth of the new order is that it absolutely stifles the voice of the Commission’s minority members. Heretofore when the majority voted against issuance of a complaint, the minority had the privilege of making public their dissenting views. Frequently, this prospect influenced the judgement of the majority who did not relish public inspection of their acts. It was as an outgrowth of the right of the minority to publish its views that the famous ‘Pittsburgh plus” steel rate investigation was finally made, with the result that discriminatory practices of nation-wide importance were ordered abandoned. The three members of the Commission who voted for seprecy are Chairman Van Fleet and Commissioners Hunt and Humphries. Former Chairman Huston Thompson voted “no.” The fifth member, Commissioner Nugent, was absent, hut would have voted with Thompson had he been present.
When coming among friends, however, especially if they were women, he removed his helmet, to signify that he trusted himself in the presence of his friends. The modern hat, a successor of the helmet, no longer serves as a protection from enemies, but is still employed as a means of showing respect. Where is the oldest bridge in the world? \ This is probably the Sublician bridge at Rome. It Is a wooden bridge and was built in the seventh century. It was twice rebuilt. Only the ruins now remain. Who called the Constitution "A Kite to Keep the Henyard in Order?” This was Thomas Jefferson’s description of the Constitution of the United States when it was first proposed for ratification. A kite is a hawk-like bird. Who were the tallest, shortest, stoutest and thinnest Presidents of the United States? Lincoln was the tallest, being 6 feet 4 inches; Madison the shortest, being 5 feet 4 inches; Polk was the thinnest, and Taft the stoutest. Are there any localities in which mosquitoes are not found? Mosquitoes are found in almost every locality where there is opportunity *>r them to breed, and this opportunity depends simply upon the presence at some time during the year ®f standing water.

Aariety of forms are found In that tegion than in the temperate zone, but they occur in great numbers, though in less variety, far to the north, the inhabitants of Alaska and Kamchatka suffering from their attacks during the short far-northern summers. What nationality is a Creole? Creole is the name given to people born and naturalized in the West Indies or the tropical countries of America, but of European (usually French or Spanish) origin, as distinguished from the offspring of mixed blood, such as Jnulattoes and quadroons, from negroes and from aborigines. The name has no connection with the color. How many freight cars were in use in the United States In 1923? 2.380,482. From where does the expression ‘‘Stone walls do not a prison make,” come? From the poem “To Althea From Prison,” written by Richard Lovelace. Will Easter lilies came up again atfer all the blooms and leave* have died? Yes.

There is jolly good fun in "Too Many Kisses.” The picture gets off to . fun start and Dix carries the fun on and on, just like Doug Fairbanks did in some of his early pictures. And Dlx is growing In leadership as well as ability upon the screen because he puis a laugh and pep Into his work. We are past the day when wo howl at mud pies striking the face of a sad creature.

Perhaps these incidents raveaJ where the motor bus business is bound. Asa transportation agency the motor bus has come to stay. Because of its adaptability and flexibility its continued expansion will be rapid. But transportation Is primarily a business of large capital. Small Individual lines are soon consolidated Into larger units. In the beginning the taxicab business was In the hands of independent, free-lance operators. But they were soon superseded by corporations operating blg fleets. Apparently the motor bus js fast passing through Its freelance stage. Perhaps the tendency will now be toward consolidation —with a fight for control between existing transportation agencies and large, Independent corporations.
THE DOTTED LINE mOHN J. BROWN, chairman of the State tax commission, the other day bitterly scored ie rscns who sign remonstrances against bond issues and then seek to withdraw their names after the remonstrances have been filed. His philippic was occasioned by a hearing against a bond issue far improvement of a Marion County road. Os the seventeen property owners who had originally signed the remonstrance, eleven had requested removal of their names. Only one-third stayed hitched. The episode is rather typical of the easy complaisance with which people sign their names to petitions. The easiest thing in the world to circulate is a petition. The old saw that people will sign a paper for their mvn hanging is demonstrated evepy day. Persons sign in haste and repent at leisure. Sight of the dotted line intoxicates them and they seize pen wit-, avidity Later they have a headache When they learn the instrument is a' promissory note, a death warrant, or an obligation to appear before the State tax commission. . Then they are eaten by repentance. No doubt ability to write is a great accomplishment. But a person who keeps his hands in his pockets and looks for something besides a blotter when shown the dotted lined saves himself future embarrassment—even if it does choke a present lnfpulse. Scientech Cluh Meets ''Catalysis" was the topic of Carlton B. Edwards, Republic Creosotlng Company, at luiycheon today before scientech Club at the Chamber of Commerce.
a sure-for-enough mans way about him. When Dix becomes afflicted with too many kisses and too many pretty girls on his calling list, you seem to feel that Dix is just the sort of a guy who would make the girls go wild over him. “Too Many Kisses" is a romantic fun dish. It te different from the mine run comedy attempts. Recently we became acquainted with Frances Howard on the screen. She is beautiful to look upon and acts with ease. She Is not afraid to face the camera. Am telling you as a friend that there is a lot of joy waiting you at the Ohio this week. Lester Huff and Charlie Davis have built a Jazz Week musical program around the picture. A number of girls prance here and there and a man does some hoofing. But the real hit H the man who "teases" the nceordian. A real lively hill awaits you at the Ohio. • * # SUGGESTING DOG BISCUITS FOB ANOTHER TYRANT TYYE Biting mothers should be fed dog biscuits. One of these biting mothers is found in "The Price of Pleasure.” And she was served dog biscuits either. She was allowed to live on and on. These unnaturad mothers are not convincing upon the screen. They have a chance to get by better upon the stage but on the screen they show up even more cruel than they could actually appear. Virginia Valli in this picture is cast as a shop girl, who marries a rich man. The wedding takes place when the mother and sister of the groom are out of town. Gee, when his mother and sister arrive at the town palace, the temperature becomes below zero. Then for reel after reel, this hard
BABY’S IMPROVED BATTING AVERAGE P" A ’ •- •- KIRBY, director of the child hygiene division i—l of the city board of health, Saturday that in Indianapolis it baby's batting average in the game of life is now .1*24. instead of .916, the average for the past six years. That nteans the mortality rate °f infants less than one year old has declined from eighty four petthousand during the six year |>eriod to seventy-six. Increasing attention to child hygiene by public anti private agencies—with free clinics and similar aids—is producing results. Because of them. Indianapolis babies have a better chance to live than ever before. It took a long time for the idea that raising babies is a science to make headway. Mothers felt they knew all there was to know about raising thoir offspring. They had been babies once themselves and had survived—therefore they had practical experience in the art. Consequently many babies were raised on bacon rinds, soothing syrup and striped stick candy. Doctors and nurses were seldom summoned unless the Infant had convulsions. Asa result until recent years the death rate was high. But it Is not only a private tragedy hut a public loss when a baby needlessly dies because of ignorance and lack of proper attention. So now public health agencies are devoting themselves to reduction of Infant mortality. Probably Indianapolis can be prouder over the declining Infant death rate than over some more boasted civic accomplishments. Its most invaluable resource is in the cradle. There is the future of the race and the hope of civilization. GERMAN WAR TROPHIES rrjJIL.LIAM A. KERSHNER. adjutant general, has re—J ceived notice from Washington that German war trophies —cannon, guns and other military equipment-—will soon be sent to lloosier towns which have applied for them. Indianapolis Is not on the list. Indiana is not the only State that has made application for most of its allotment of war material captured from the enemy. To the Romans a war was not a ouccess unless the victorious army and general trundled through the capital in triumph with Its spoils of battle —the captured standards, arms and legs of the vanquished. The trophies were displayed with pomp, ceremony and public rejoicing. So among other nations that esteem war as a glorious occupation, disposal of the trophies won i*3 important. Evidently the American people are not truly militaristic. It is enough for the ordinary citizen If his son comes home from the wars with his own arms ytd legs, without mementos wrenched from the prostrate enemy. Consequently the Government has difficulty in disposing of German war material even when It offers to pay the freight. Os course a captured cannon is nothing but a chunk of steel of no particular economic value to a community. Still it makes a very suitable ornament for a courthouse square. Perhaps it is no more permanent and immovable than the homegrown loafers with which most public squares are adorned—but it is fully as artistic. In future years such a trophy will be a mute reminder of brave days. It is surprising that the available supply was not snapped up long ago.
hearted mother in attempting to break up the wedding, nearly wrecks the life of her own son as well as his wife. Os course, after a sufficient amount of suffering, the newly weds live happily every after. I do not know what became of this "mommer” but she deserved to be indicted as a home breaker and & kidnaper. As far as I know justice went astray this time again. She wasn't even fed dog biscuits. That isn't fair because highly respectable dogs live on such a diet. The work of Virginia Valli, Norman Kerry, Kate Lester, T. Roy Barnes, George Fawcett, Ward Crane and Louise Fazenda is satisfactory hut the theme, melodramatic in nature, does not ring true. I want to have the human viewpoint when I see melodrama but this story doesn't ring true even in an acute melodramatic setting. Have your own idea about thi-i one. I have. The Colonial this week is aiding in putting over the musical Idea for Music Week. The American Har monists still know the trick of syncopating. Frank Owens sings anew jazz song, called “Cheatin’ on Me.", Bill includes a news, a comedy and Aesop's Fables. At the (Colonial all week. til YOU WILL SAY THE SAME—HIERS IS GOOD Some movie people have ruined themselves by making "personal appearances.” Walter lllers, the fat man of the screen. Is well aware of that fact. A fellow may be just “fat” and get by on the screen but when he appears in person following a movie comedy, well, he has to have some weight in the brain box also. And that is just what Hiers has. He knows that the personal appear-
ance idea is all cold unless It is humanized. He knows that a fellow mustsaysomething besides, “Dear people. I am so glad to be in your beautiful city, etc. etc.’’ So he has obtained a snappy and funny monologue which he delivers with a whole lot of comedy fireworks. On the stage, he gets across with ease. He makes one feel , that Walter Hieia is something more
m t
Helene Chadwick
than a fat fellow, but a man with a bi K heart, a laugh, real showmanship and a hearty smile. He has humanized this personal appearance gag and turns a cold ideea into an enjoyable success. Just before Hiers lands "in person” on the stage at the Circle, you witness his new comedy. "A Kurin’ Romeo.” Hiers is a safe entertainment bet. Must call your attention to the Circle Orchestra again and that man, Bakaleinikoff. This is known as Music Week and because of that fact, the, Circle is presenting a movie overturee.” Frederick Chopin,” while the orchestra plays selections that thiß man wrote years ago. And these numbers still live. In this movie overture, you see Madame Sand, who smoked black cigars and loved Chopin because of his music. That is, she loved the music- and not the maker of the melody. As usual, the orchestra plays the melodies as they should be played. The feature picture is “The Recreation of Briant Kent,” one of Harold Bell Wright’s best sellers several seasons ago. The cast employs Mary Carr as Auntie Sue, the school teacher, who makes a man out of Kent, played by Kenneth Harlan. Zasu Pitts as Judy, Russell Simpson as Jap Taylor, Helene Chadwiek as Betty Jo and others. The mental children of this man Wright are hard to film because there is lot of mental doings present in his writings. He pictures “soul development” along with the mental and spiritual side. Because of this fact, some of the early scenes move rather slowly, but the characters in the end become more than shadows, and when that is accomplished there isn’t much room [or kickin'. The story starts out gloomy because all of this regeneration business is rather sad at times. | But Hiers puts the sunshine in the program this week. At the Circle all week. * • • MOTHER WAS SOME BIRD IN THIS MOVIE STORY There is a character in “The Denial” that is a regular old cat. He/* name ta Mrs. Rena Hucking, played splendidly by Emily Fitzroy, and she ruled her husband, daughter (Claire Windsor), and son (William Eugene), with an iron hand. “Mornmer” was the sort of a person who not only commanded her

for her children and her husband because it was what mommer wanted. And mommer made an awful mess of the whole works. Father (played so nicely by Edward Connelly) puts a revolver to his right temple to escape from the old “cat.” The son. Gene, does a little unchaperoned exploring with ladies of the evening w r hich was far from being profitable or pleasant. This story Is unfolded by a series of flash-backs, human in tone, treatment and theme. You first see the daughter, married to the man handpicked by her mother, starting out to be a rfort of a tyrant to her own daughter, played by£Lucille Ricksen.
Movie Verdict Ohio—Richard Dix hands out the laughs, real man’s sized howls, in “Too Many Kisses.” This movie has the real laugh formula In It. Corking popular jazz musical program makes up the bill. Apollo Although Emily Fitzroy plays the role of one of those old battle-axes of a mother who rules and ruins her household, yet this woman does some wonderfully fine work In "The Denial." Johnny Robinson plays a “wicked” (meaning warm) xylophone solo. Colonial “The Price of Pleasure” Is an unconvincing melodramatic picture that has good acting but the actors are handicapped by faulty material. The settings are good. Good music of the popular kind that pleases. Circle—Walter Hiers proves that at least one movie actor has found the secret of making a personal appearance a big victory instead of a miserable failure. The overture this week is one of those rich, haunting and satisfying things. Should be, because Chopin wrote It.
Then the flashbacks make it possible for a happy and sensible- endin*. Although the character played by Emily Fitzroy is all vinegar, she brings to the screen a masterful characterization of the “sour grape” mother who rules her home with an iron hand. Splendid work, although you want to give the old dame a poke in the nose. (I beg your pardon for such words.) Claire Windsor as Mildred is seen as Mildred, the married woman and as a mother as well as when she was a young girl under the cruel roof of her mother’s home. This picture may be called melodramatic hokum, but it has realistic acting and gets by with a marvelous punch, although one or two scenes (showing Gene at a cheap girl show) should be eliminated. But the acting of Emily Fitzroy, Edward Connelly and Vivia Ogden as a “catty” old maid make this picture what it is. Johnny Robinson gets warm about the fingers while he plays “Nola” as a xylophone solo. Here is real handling of the sticks or whatever you call ’em. Bill includes a news reel, a comedy, organ and orchestral music. At the Apollo all v-eek. • • • William Hodge tonight opens a three-day engagement at the Murat In “For All of Us.” The Optimist Club has bought the house out for the opening night.
