CITES SCHOOL 10UBLES DUE TO JAZZ AGE jftaderson Superintendent Declares Study Impeded. By Timet Special ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 13.—The jazz age has changed school teacher’s problems, W. A. Denny, Anderson school superintendent, declared In addressing city teachers at an institute session. The superintendent declared “The Jazz age has brought into being new social and moral problems which must be confronted and solved, to some degree at least, by the teachers of the modern youth.” Distractions from school work afforded by conditions of modern life constitute the greatest difficulty for the teacher today, Denny declared. “These conditions interfere with Ideal conditions of study,” the superintendent said. "The jazz age has brought with it a longing for excitement and entertainment which interfere with the ideal conditions for contemplative study. The spirit of materialism that is so widespread is largely the result of the hurry of civilization and competitive commerce. That is one reasons we are devoting more time to nature study this year because in this way we may direct the attention of the young people to the wonders of God and the world.” PLAN ORATORY CONTEST High School Pupils to Compete for Trip to Washington. Plans for a state-wide oratorical poctest for high school students with a trip to Washington, D. C., as the award for both the boy and girl winners were outlined today at a meeting of the special committee in charge of the contest, which is being fostered by the Indiana Lincoln Union Memorial committee. Each high school will conduct a contest to select representatives for county and area meets. The State office of the Memorial committe has compiled a bibliology on the life of Lincoln which will be sent free to contestants.

CHAPTER XLVII OEE-VEE had been ecstatically inhaling the warm fragrance of thousands of sun-caressed roses, the pride of Rufus Worrell Crandall’s heart. They were to have tea in the garden shortly—she and her “parents,” but Mr. and Mrs. Crandall had not yet appeared. “Mr. Schuyler Smythe calling, Miss Crandall,” Soames bowed before here deferentially. “I told him that Miss Crandall was not receiving today, but he insisted that I bring his card to you.” Vee-Vee sprang up, a picture of startled dismay and anger. She had opened her lips to send the intruder a cutting dismissal, when the intruder himself came sauntering up. I “There you are, Vee-Vee!” his voice, which she had once thought so musical and had found so moving, called out with impudent familiarity. “Thank you, Soames.” Vee-Vee dismissed the butler with a curt nod, then turned her blazing green eyes upon Schuyler Smythe, who was bowing before her. “I believe the butler told you that I was not receiving today, Mr. Smythe. He was quite right.” The blood mounted in a dark tide over the theatrically handsome face of the man before her. His black eyes narrowed and focussad in a long, steady gaze upon h green eyes, sparkling with anger. “You are hard, Vee-Vee, and cruel—vindictively cruel,” he said slowly. “My name is Miss Crandall,” Veevee retorted coldly, rising to make his dismissal unmistakable. “Now, will you excuse me, please?” She was turning when Schuyler Smythe sprang toward her and laid his hands upon her shoulders, his fingers digging into her flesh. “I’m not going to be sent away like this, Vee-Vee! You loved me at Minnetonka—” "But this is Manhasset Bay,” VeeVee said cuttingly. His shoulders drooped suddenly with overwhelming dejection, and he spoke softly, humbly: “I know I have deserved this,, Vivian, but I can explain, if you) will give me a chance. And, by' heaven, you did love me. You can’t deny it! If a kiss like the one you gave me does not mean love—” Vee-Vee was again turning away, with a hard little laugh, when Soames reappeared. "Mrs. Cartwright is calling, Miss Crandall.” “Have her come out here, Soames. Mrs. Cartwright is invited to tea. Ard Mr. Smythe is leaving, Soames. Mr. Smythe will not call again,” she added significantly. After Schuyler had gone, Vee-Vee sank down in a swinging chair, for her knees were trembling so that she could scarcely stand. “Dear Vee-Vee! What a stunning picture you make lying there!” Vee-Vee had not realized how much she loved her frivolous, lighthearted aunt until Flora Cartwright’s arms were about her and she discovered that Flora’s slightly plump shoulder made a heavenly place to weep upon. “You aren’t by any chance weeping over that handsome cad that I in the hall, are you, darling?” Flora demanded. “Why, my dear, I’ve just been dying to see you ever since fcls name was coupied with yours in the papers, so that I could tell you that he is the Schuyler I knew once——” “You knew him?” “Don’t you remember my saying that I had known a Schuyler once and that if I ever laid eyes on him again that he’d be sorry? I was engaged to him the summer I was at

Newport with the Seymour Donaldsons. He thought I had piles of money—poor Ralph, my third husband, you know, had left me a decent little lump of insurance—but when I told him the truth, for some reason which I can’t remember right now, he cut and ran like a frightened rabbit. “I never had a line from him, and I’d been simply mad about him! But you know how it is! He fooled you, too, and I’ve never pretended to have orie-tenth the brains that you have.” “And did you make him sorry when you saw him just now?” Flora adjusted the brim of her wide leghorn hat and twitched at the full skirt of her pretty flowered tatffeta afternoon dress. “To tell you the truth, darling, I was the tiniest bit sorry for him. You had so evidently reduced him to a pulp. Poor Schuyler! How bitter he must feel to think that he had forty million dollars within his grasp and that he let it slip through his fingers! “But tell me everything, darling. I’m simply thrilled to death to be here and to see you again,” she added asan afterthought. Vee-Vee smiled as she made a place for her aunt beside her on the swinging chair. “No. I’m much more interested in what has been ■ opening to you. How is young Peter Darrow? Still devoted? Still proposing. “My dear, I’m through with men, positively through, finished, fedupi” Flora assured her niece vehemently, as he snapped open her vanity case to regard her make-up critically and to repair any damages that her emotional greeting had wrought. “I tell you, Vee-Vee, I shall be driven to marrying Jack Preston all over again! He’s waiting patiently at the McAlpin right now for my telephone call.” “But if you are through with men?” Vee-Vee laughed. “But that’s why I shall marry him!” Flora assured her with immense gravity. “Jack isn’t a man, he’s a husband. One knows where one is with Jack. He is certainly the most faithful ex-husband I ever saw. “Now, If Jerry Macklyn had had the good judgment to prefer an experienced woman—a blond, at that; —to a foolish virgin who runs off chasing another man and gets herself kidnaped—” “I gather that Jerry has been rather difficult?” Vee-Vee laughed. “When are you going to marry him? Or is this taste of caviar life going to turn your head?” Fiord demanded, in lieu of an answer. “I rather think,” Vee-Vee said softly, ‘that I shall wait till he asks me again.” “Then you’ll marry him tomorrow and lose this fairy-tale Job of yours, for he will ask you tonight. He’s coming, of course?” Flora retorted. But there was really no danger of Vee-Vee’s losing her “fairy-tale job,” the next day, or any day during the long weeks that followed, for Jerry Macklyn did not once take advantage of her Invitation, seconded by the Crandalls, to visit her at the Manhasset Bay estate. “He wrote her fairly frequently, and it always seemed that she was opening mail to which she had no right, when she slit the envelope bearing the name “Miss Vivian Crandall.” His first letter explained that his reception, as Vivian Crandall’s sole male caller, would arouse a storm of gossip and rumor, a storm Vhich might break over their heads when Vee-Vee’s “job” was finished. Os course she had to accept his judgment as sound, but she reflected resentfully that he might haVe worded his refusal a little more regretfully, have begun and ended his letters a little more warmly. As it was, she treasured every apparently careless word of affection the hasty scrawls contained, and paled miserably over his frequent references to both Rosemary Fitch and Vivian Crandall. “He probably fell in love with Vivian because she looks like me, and then “fell out of love with me because I’m not as wonderful as she is,” Vee-Vee told herself in a fit of extreme depression. “But if I’d have her advantages I might have been more like her. She is wonderful,” she added honestly, but her fairness gave her little happiness In the realization that she had lost the man she should have loved all along and whom she now loved far more deeply and genuinely than she had ever loved Schuyler Smythe. When she consoled herself with the reflection that Vivian Crandall was safetly out of his reach, because all her love was given to Paul Allison, she would remember, with startlingly severe pangs in her lonely hear, that his letters contained quite as ma jy references to Rosemary as to Vivian Crandall. It seemed that if he did not dine with Vivian Crandall and Paul Allison that he took Rosemary Fitch to Coney Island or to a Long Island roadhouse for a shore dinner. During those long weeks she had no direct word from Vivian Crandall, and her retirement was so complete that the outside world had no opportunity to discover the deception that was being practiced "upon It It was not an easy time for any of the three of them, for the Crandalls —mother and father—were obviously suffering the keenest anxiety over the mysterious behavior of their daughter. Vee-Vee had told them that her “Job” was to last only two months, and that at the end of that time

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Vivian would release her from her agreement to impersonate her. As the time drew near for her release from her amazing contract, Vee-Vee found, oddly enough, that she was almost sorry, for life stretched rather empty and purposeless before her. It was true that she would have SIO,OOO, hence leisure in which to look about her and find just the work which would offer her the most in salary and opportunity. But her brain, lulled by luxury and the effortless ease of her life on the Crandall estate, seemed curiously ambitionless. It was hard to picture herself as a private secretary again, taking a proprietary interest in a business which she could never really own, sinking all her newly discovered femininity into a career. If she had had some specific talent—if only she had not lost Jerry— Vivian’s telegram signed “Virginia,” came on Friday in the midcae of September, a day or two before she was expecting it. It said merly, “Come immediately. Tell no one.” What did It mean? Had Vivian failed to convince Paul Allison that she was the wife for him? Or was everything settled and was this Vera Cameron’s last day as Vivian Crandall, ex-princess and heiress to $40,000,000?

City Run Without Taxes; Just Uses Good Sense

Westerville, Ohio, Has Fine Record in Municipal Management. By NEA Service WESTERVILLE, 0., Sept. 13. This peaceful little city is known throughout the country as the home port of the Anti-Saloon League of America. It has another claim to fame, however, which has not been noised abroad so widely. It is a city without taxes—a city that runs itself without digging into the pockets of its citizens! To be sure. Westerville has a tax levy. But it is a very small one, and the proceeds are confined strictly to the payment of debts contracted before the present “business administration” placed the city on a basis of financial independence. Municipal Ownership The city believes in municipal ownership of pubLc utilities. All funds for current expenses come from the earnings of its utilities. In addition, these earnings steadily are piling up a surplus in the cKy treasury. Tills surplus, under present plans, will be invested in well-paying securities, the income from which will still further reduce the cost pi the city government. All city affairs are conducted on the plan of a well-managed private corporation. There are no political “jobs” in the city government; employment is governed absolutely by the same standard of capability and efficiency that apply in any business house. Each public utility is obliged to pay its own way and show a respectable profit This is done so capably that public utility rates to consumers here are lower than in many other cities of the same size. In a single year the city earned enough money from its utilities to pay $13,600 in improvements, all of its ma]*c operating expenses and all managerial salaries. The city gets electric current for street lighting

Earn on Surplus Funds Westerville banks cany the city’s accounts, bidding as high as 414 per cent on balances. The city earns nearly as much on its sinking fund surplus as it must pay on unexpired bonds which were floated in the days before the business men decided to see if a real “business administration” were not possible.

By United Press LONDON, Sept. 13.—Antl-profan-ity propaganda directed against authors and producers of plays which contain profanity merely for the sake of publicity is appearing in the press. The Evening News started the campaign, arguing that stage profanity not only has passed the bounds of decency but of realism as well. The paper said several current successes contained lines which if actually used in the clubs in which the scenes were laid would cause the speakers to be ostracized.

CITY WARS ON STANDARD OIL Company Carries Gas Fight to High Court. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Has a city the right to sell gasoline and oil at cost in competition with private companies? The Standard Oil Company of Nebraska contends that cities are barred from such activity by the Federal constitution, and will ask the United States Supreme Court to rule that way. The plea arises from a dispute between the company and the city of Lincoln, Neb. In 1924 Lincoln voters authorized municipal operation of gasoline and oil stations. The standard Oil Company claimed that the business is not a public utility warranting Government participation, that gasoline and oil are not necessities, and that, in absence of an emergency, the Nebraska-city was barred by the
