Big-Hearted Benito! Washington, where they “settled” I * Italy’s war debt te the United States for 25 cents on the dollar, the Italian delegation hastened to New York to be banqtieted by Thomas W. Lamont and other Morgan bankers and loaned another hundred million dollars, That is one news item. Another comes in an uncensored cable from Italy. The Popolo di Roma, organ of Dictator Mussolini, it appears, says it was downright “noble” and “generous” of Italy to pay the United States anything at all because if Italy had refused to pay, the United States had no way to collect. That’s certainly a “noble” way of looking at a debt! Americans, however, will find it difficult to understand. The code of a gentleman is that his word is as good as his bond; and he pays his debts not because he fears a cop with a billy will be sent to collect, but because it is not in his make-up to be a dead-beat. His code is not that it is “noble” to square up with his collectors but that it is common dishonesty not to do so. We would prefer to believe the Popolo was voicing the opinion of one individual, and he with an extraordinary kink in his brain. But it is a well-known fact that Premier Mussolini promptly squelches those papers which misrepresent him, hence we will be pardoned for asking just how much the Italian government shades the Popolo’s views. The question is not without its importance. Italian bonds to the tune of $100,000,000 are now about to be sold to the self-same American people who, just the other day, were “nobly” permitted by “generous” Italy to shoulder a 75 per cent loss on a previously contracted debt of billions. Does Italy intend to be equally “generous” and “noble” in the future? Incidentally perhaps you have observed how European debt settlement have now been reduced to a regular formula. Debtor nations form to the right. Each in its turn comes on to Washington. There it pleads poverty and cries off paying more than a fraction of what it owes—ranging all the way from 25 to 75 per cent. Then it hurries to New York, where a group of foxy bankers tells the world what excellent shape the debtor nation’s finances are in and makes it anew loan far larger than all it has promised to pay Uncle Sam for decades to come. “Noble?” We’d say it’s not so “noble” as it is profitable.

No Dictatorship, Thanks SHE American Federation of Labor is on sound ground in declaring its opposition to any legislation that would give full power to the President to reorganize Government departments, uncontrolled by Congress. It is easy to become impatient with Congress. Congressmen themselves often grow restless becausft of the cumbersome, clumsy manner in which their own machinery works and feel a desire to scrap the whole thing. More than one must have fleeting moments in which he thinks a benevolent dictator in the White House would be a happy solution for all the problems of Government. But benevolent dictators being about the rarest of birds in natural or other history, no good citizen of any country whose government functions at all is likely to exchange that government for a dictatorship on the chance that it will prove benevolent. We doubt that any wholesale reorganization of the system at Washington, by any man or any committee, would produce a machine capable of giving universal satisfaction. But reorganization is going forward all the time. The President and his executive assistants are helping, through the shifting of bureaus and redistribution of duties, to obtain more efficiency. Congress is helping—certainly just as much—by compelling the President to get rid of vicious and incompetent executives now and then and by telling the President, when occasion demands, that men he proposes to make part of the Government do not

For a lack of a better way, it seems the improvement of the Government’s machinery will continue along these lines. It is unlikely that Congress will vote to relinquish the control the Constitution gives it over the other branches of the Government, no matter how impatient an individual member may become.

About Face! LMOST as interesting as the final disposition of the Armitage badge collection is what action will be taken in the future about the lavish badge purchases around the polls. The public will be glad to know whether money expended in such manner and for such purchases violates the corrupt practices act. The prosecuting attorney is busy now with an important enterprise, but one of these days he will have the time to consider the Armitage badges, look them over, admire their texture and typography, and—incidentally—compare them with the law regulating the conduct of elections.—lndianapolis News, Nov. 10, 1925.

Taking ’Em Young By Mrs. Walter Ferguson f J NATIONALLY known clergyman recently advised the boys of his congregation to marry girls at least ten years younger than themselves, to take them when they were undeveloped, “so that they will be tractable and can be moulded into noble wives and mothers.” Those words have a strangely familiar ring. They are an echo from the Pilgrim Father days when they took them young, wore them out early and remarried ' four or five months after the funeral. And that plan worked very nicely, especially for the men, in the good old days. They had to pick young wives then because under the hard work and child-bearing the poor things did not often last past thirtyfive and many were the grand old patriarchs who boasted half a dozen brides. (You maj’ verify this by looking into any family geneaology.) And many were the poor little fifteen-year-old babies tied to men old enough to be their fathers and whose only earthly rewards were the inscriptions upon the ancient tombs, “Mary, beloved wife of above.” Not that there may hot be happiness in a marriage where the discrepancy in age is even more than ten years, with the seniority on the man’s side, but success depends almost entirely upon the sort of man the husband may be. The world has changed in a great many ways since the days when the men took young girls to raise, but no change has been so marked as the relationship between married couples. Today the best chance for happiness lies in marrying a person who is near your own age. Be young and gay and giddy together; be mature and earnest and sensible together; be old and quiet and contented together. The twentieth century wife does not intend to he worked to death like her grandmother often was. She can hold her own with her husband when it comes to looks and activity and energy. This is because things have been made easier for hpr. No longer must she slave at household tasks too great for her strength ; no longer is it expected that she shall assume the garb and behavior of old age before youth has gone; no longer is she compelled to bear more children than her physical energies will permit. And the new regime brings more happiness to both men and women. The former may not be able to mould noble wives and mothers, but they do not have so many funeral expenses to pay nor to be so often on the loolcout for a new bride to do the housework.

A Sermon for Today

Text: “Jesus said unto them, ‘Fill the water pots wit hwater.” And they tilled them up to the brim.”— John 2:7. mT was at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee, where Jesus turned the water Into wine, which was the first miracle He performedAt first thought It may seem surprising that the beginning a long series of mircales performed by Jesus, should have consisted of turning water into wine. And yet this will not appear strange when the symbolic significance of this miracle is understood. To the old Hebrew mind water symbolized the sorrow, sadness and grief of life, while wine symbolized the Joy/ the happiness and the gladness of life. And by this first miracle Jesus taught that He came to turn the saddness'of life into gladness. Whenever Jesus was going to bless generally he first gave a command. Somehow He links up His power not only with human weakness, but with human endeavor. And so on this occasion He first said to the servants at the feast, "Fill the water pots with water.” Strange indeed was His command. And yet, without

■By GAYLORD NELSON

COULDN’T STAND SEPARATION CUTVLLIAM DECKER of New|\)LL castle, Ind., whose wife had I I filed suit for divorce, settled. their domestic difficulties Saturday by shooting and killing her and himself. He had told relatives that he would rather be dead than separated from his wife. Preventing divorce with a gun may be effectual but at best it Is a rather drastic measure. Last June this husband who would rather be dead than separated frim hia wife, beat up his spouse so brutally that he broke her leg, from which injury she never fully recovered. That was ths cause of their estangement, the suit for divorce and the domestic troubles over which he brooded. Whether his final act prevented the separation he feared can't be determined by ordinary mortals who have no first-hand knowledge of what lies beyond the grave. If there be a literal heaven and heaven over there of the orthodox type his attempt to prevent separation may be a dismal failure. It isn't likely that he and his wife will go to the same placeIf nothing of the individual—call It spirit, personality or soul —persists after death his methods of preventing separation is still more unsatisfactory. In any event he took a long chance. On the whole it is better for a husband who can't stand Separation from his wife to lavish a little affection and gentleness on her instead of abusing, beating and crippling her and then trying to effect a reconciliation with a gun. It is simpler to make surk of domestic happiness here than hereafter. WASTE IN CITY GOVERNMENT mOHN L. DUVALL, late truant mayor-elect, announces that he will appoint a nonpartisan committee of live business men, to serve without pay, to make a study of the departments of the Indianapolis city government to eliminate waste and secure greater business efficiency in the administration of municipal affairs. Apparently the mayor-elect believes our present system of city government is wasteful and inefficient- So does the man in the street. His unpaid committee is unlikely to better the situation. Politicians, who fatten on the status quo, will resist the adoption of any radical recommendations, and the committee will be just a gesture to pacify public opinion. A similar survey of Indiana State government was undertaken last year. The only visible result of the investigations and deliberations. of the Governor’s committee was the consolidation of the State library, historical commission and legislative reference bureau under one board. All other suggested reforms were deposited In the ash can by the politicians. Not a name was stricken from the State pay roll. The actual saving in the cost of State government accomplished by this attempt to introduce efficiency and economy into State affairs wouldn't pave a mile of State road. Is an unpaid committee, without legal authority to enforce its recommendations however able its personnel—likely to be more successful in putting the management of Indianapolis affairs on a businesslike basis? If Indianapolis city government Is wasteful and inefficient—which no one doubts, not even Mr. Duvall —why try a half-hearted introduction of business methods? Why not employ a city manager, an expert in municipal administration. and turn the job over to him? What Indianapolis needs in the city hall Is a real marriage of business efficiency and city government, not a temporary flirtation. WHERE WERE THE VIGILANTES? SWO enterprising, masked young gentlemen, armed with revolvers and determination, held up the bank at Shelby County, Saturday afternoon.

questioning, “they filled them up to the brim.” "Up to the brim.” Here is an example for us. A serlvce rendered up to the brim. The servants did not stop at pouring in Just a little water, but they filled the pots up to the brim. Our service is not up to the brim, if it is half-hearted and we neglect any part of what we can do. It should never be a question of how little we can give and do, but how much. Our only limit should be our best. How grateful we ought to be for those who are gendering service up to the brim in any good cause. And many such there are, and have been in the past. It was sacrifice and service up to the brim when Bennie, the newsboy, urged the doctors to take off a portion of his skin -to put on a young lady whose skin had peeled off after she had passed through a terrible fire. Bennie died, but the young lady lived. All the great blessings we enjoy today are the fruitage of such sacrificial service. When the pots were filled the Lord blessed the water into wine. And so will He bless up and what we do, when we fill up to the brim our place of service. (Copyright, 1925, by John R. Gunn.)

citizens was presumed to spring to arms and riddle bank bandits with perfectly good bullets whenever they appeared In the vicinity of a Hoosler financial Institution, the Boggstown Bank was robbed as easily as a barbecue stand. The incident proves there is no special panacea for bank bandirty. Vigilance committees and rewards of SI,OOO a head, alive or dead, for bank bandits may have some influence on the bank robbery trade. But the effect is slight. Likewise the horsethief detectives may, in a measure, protect Hoosiers from being despoiled of their equines. However, all such special panaceas for specific crimes fail to pan out. The suppression of all forms of criminal activity is best performed by the regular, recognized, public law enforcement machinery —courts, sheriffs, police and fulltime professional detectives. The amateurs, of whatever character, who merely dabble at law enfprcement in their spare time, aren’t the answer to any phase of our crime problem. increase”" IN INSANE mOHN A. BROWN, secretary of the State board of charities, reports that there are now 6,024 inmates in Indiana State hospitals for the insane—an increase of 200 over a year ago. All of the five State asylums are filled to capacity. The figures seem to bear out sociologists, mental hygiene authorities, eugeniclsts and the like, who declare there is an alarming increase in the number of people afflicted with mental ailments. The strain and speed of modern life is raising havoc with human mental equipment,'it is asserted, and loss of mind Is becoming more prevalent. Frequently is heard the dismal prophecy that the race is going crazy. Perhaps it is. But not in Indiana. There has been no increase in the asylum population in this State in the last several years that cannot be attributed to the normal increase in population. And though every State hospital is crowded there is only one inmate for each 500 persons in the State. Probably the apparent Increase in insanity Is due to the fact that . in this generation mental sufferers who in previous generations would have been' distributed unnoticed through the general population and cared for by their families are now concentrated in State ( hospitals. A degree of insanity that would now put one in an asylum would have made one a court jester in olden times. One in 500 is not an alarming proportion of mental derangement. Regardless of pessimists, reason remains tolerably secure on her throne in Indiana.

He cautiously hangs up his coat and his lid, and he takes both his shoes off his feet. And then he goes tip-toeing, just like a kid, to the kitchen for something to eat. Yea, dad goes a-hunting for that or far this. He searches around with a will. A lot of good grub’s going slowly amiss, while his appetite’s getting its fill. The Ice box is ransacked, the bread can is cleaned. No morsel of food is he Scorning. He’s pork chopped, and breaded, and trackered and beaned. Oh, he’ll get the deuce in the morning. The morning arrives and the missus just sighs. The kitchen, of course, is a fright. When dad asks for breakfast, she calmly replies, “You ate up our breakfast last night."

Gloria Turns a Pancake Into a Nifty Cap; Adolphe Menjou as a King Eats Hot Dogs

I JTI Y the flip of a spoon, Gloria I D I Swanson turns a pancake L TTm J right into a cap. This stunt happens in Gloria's new movie, “Stage Struck.” Gloria Is cast as a waitress n a restaurant, who guy, who ma ' tes AT pancakes in the window. As long <0 as Gloria Swanson ©rajW|f. takes these workflaw . jylfl ing girl parts, she will be one of the women on the 'Jj9 screen. Gloria can 1,0 tho ran(l rlame hut her screen strength rests in ■■H .he roles who work for their Gloria Swanson living while they dieam of success in life. She brings both comedy and pathos to the screen in these characterizations. She does not burlesque the character or the profession, but rather gives one the impression that if Gloria was a waitress she would do in actual life just what she does on the screen In “Stage Struck.” Many think that “Manhandled,” is the movie that really made Gloria Swanson. Whether that is a fact or not, it is apparent that this actress has developed her powers to wonderful bounds in the last two years. She is the leader just now among the women on the screen. "Stage Struck” will make her position more secure, because she does some corking comedy work, and there are heart throbs for those who are seeking ’em. ‘‘Stage Struck” is the kind of ft photoplay which will keep Gloria. Swanson at the head of the list. It is corking good human fun. Photography is excellent, story good and the entire cast obtains the needed results-

Movie Verdict Colonial—Reginald Denny continues to grow in comic artistry as is proven in "Where Was I?” Apollo—Gloria Swanson has another winner in “Stage Struck.” Lots of fun. Ohio—A king may become a human being -in the movies if Alolphe Menjou happens to be the king. This happens in ‘The King on Main Street.” Circle—Leon Errol and First National makes.a pleasing effort to develope costume comedy in ‘‘Clothes Make the Pirate.” , This picture belongs to the better class of screen fun.

The “kinging" business isn’t all it is cracked up to be. That’s the impression I got after seeing, “The King on Main Street.” Adolphe Menjou is the king who leaves his kingdom and comes to IjraSEjBSBBf America to get human.

Menjou Alophe Menjou right now is attempting to get vehicles which will put him in a human light before his audiences. Menjou is not the “sheik” type, but rather the wealthy rounder who knows everything, both good and bad, about women. “The King on Main Street," is both comedy and travesty. It becomes travesty when an American home on Main St. prepares to entertain the king- This is just plain burlesque. The most human fun in the picture is found when the king quits “kinging” for a day and goes unaccompanied to Coney Island to have some fun. The “shoots" showing the king and a small bay “shooting the chutes," turn out to be corking good fun. You actually get the feeling that you are "shooting” through the air with the merry throng on this fun apparatus. Greta Nissen is given a chance

First National, after seeing him In "Sally,” signed him for other pictures and the first one to come forth is “Clothes Make the Pirate.” Errol is the man is brilliant. Errol Leon Errol knows hia stage, but it will take time before he becomes a leader on the screen as a comedian. This “pirate” movie belongs to that small group which attempts to elevate the comedy business onthe screen to as high a loyel as the stage. Costume or period comedy is something new on the screen, but it is common on the stage. Such comedy has had an important part In “The Student Prince,” “Rose Marie” and “Blossom Time.” First National and Errol have come forward with a very fine purpose—that of giving the screen some legitimate comedy work. The start, “Clothes Make the Pirate,” proves that "costume comedy” can be developed, provided that an audience comes to the rescue. Errol can become a leader in anew type of screen fun. There is a lot of funny business on Errol's part in this movie. Dorothy Gish is in the cast, but doesn’t have much of a chance. Not her fault because Errol and his pirates are the chief funmakers.

This is apparent after seeing him in “Where Was I?” Denny demands n story with funny situations, and that is just what “Where Wll I?” "frames” It so that Reginald Denny Denny suddenly has a wife. This situation is used in various comedy scenes. Os course, Denny gets |he girl he loves and then the fun stops. “Where Was I?" gets its title from the fact that the suddenly appearing wife claims that she married our hero on Jan. 9. 1923. He can't remember where he was on that night, and he fails to get witnesses that can answer the question. At last it develops that our hero first proposed to the girl he loved on that date. Denny is a screen star who demands "different” material, and that he has ip his new comedy. A leader in the comedy movies game must have material that gives him a chance to develop comedy business. Denny has made big strides In advancement In the last year, and he looks “set" for a place near the top of the comedy ladder His success, like all others, will depend upon his vehicles.

The modern Jazz is fast passing the experimental stage and in "Mississippi” a tono i journey, a very definite trend and style was apparent. A balance seems to exist, a mid point between the ’ classical and the Jazz as we have known it before. This gives to the melodics played a life or rather a spirit that seems to echo the trend of modern thought in the direction of action and bright coloring. Whiteman’s orchestra possesses a number of soloists of the first rank. Among these Chester Ilazlett on the saxophone gave a very fine performance, showing what that instrument, in the proper hands, can be made to do. Hazfttt by the way is an Indianapolis boy. An innovation in the manner of introducing the members of the orchestra was the darkening of the stage and then playing a baby spot on the individual players ns they did a solo part.
