BUMBLE BEES You have all heard of the stinging rebuke. Well, the bumble bee invented it. Yes, and he administers it ' on the slightest provocation. Th mosquito clams this invention, but anyone who has ever had any experence with a bumble bee knows that the mosquito is just a poor imitation. The bumble bee starts out harmlessly enough, but he is all trouble in the end. When a bumble bee unsheaths his tail, beware. Personally, we'd rather be sat on by Wlliiam Howard Taft than by a good, capable bumble bee. The average tail as Instances, the poodle dog's is purely an ornament, but with a bumble bee it's all utility. And we speak from a knowledge of the facts when we say: Have all your dealings with the bumble bee head-first.

Every Savage mileage maker get full credit for good work because all work is "keyed" to the serial number on the tire. We know in every case just who is responsible for "Heap big mileage." This plan creates a strong sense of personal responsibility and pride among our workmen, and there is keenest rivalry to see who can produce most mileage per tire. You can help us to produce even greater mileage for you if you will send us full details of all Savages that run over 7000 milesPlease be sure t five Serial Number, size of tire, date of purchase. name of dealer, and actual number of miles run. To help show our appreciation for this co-operation, we will tend an inner tube patch free of charft to all who report, "Heap Bij Mileage."

row. in accordance with th nron'.m.. lion of Mayor Callahan, in cleaning upl premises and vacant yards snd getting rid of all rubbish snd litter that is making the city unsightly. This is an Opportunity that residents will have to put their premises in shape before the Chamber of Commerce gels on the ground with paper and pencil in taking a survey. One of the first steps in carrying on the campaign that is being planned will b to go over the city thoroughly and list all property thst needs attention. It is probable that this work will be done 'by volunteer committees from the several sections of the eity. by police officers, and by school students. rouowing the survey, notices will he sent out. snd these notices will be eventually followed by second survey to ascertain the extent of the response. A "Swat the Fly" campaign will doubtless be a part of the general effort which will be made along sanitary lines. The board of health has signified its willingness to cooperate in every way possible and it is hoped that all organisations and activities of the city will assist in this movement. An appeal will be made to the members of the Woman's Clubs for the valuable assistance which" it is felt they will be able to render. Street Commissioner Kiernan is taking a very active interest in This movement and has ordered his teams to pkk up and cart away all pils of rubbish that are letf accessible, to his wagons and his teamsters. DEPARTMENT a jumper dress, a style which has always been more or less popular for the janior girl. Tbis new jumper dress, No. -92, has a suggestion of a man's vest in the atraight pockets and the deep Vsbaped opening at the front, cut out to ahow the shirt waist underneath. The baclt is cut in a similar manner, except that it is ic two pieces for the closing.

Let the' city show its civic patriotism

and get busy in the promotion of this movement. CALLS GOAL TOTES BUKEAV, AT STATS CAPITAL INDIANAPOLIS, IND.. May 4. Members of the "public service commishave decided to hold a series of heannss in of lit a uv,u i. n v. v, t . 1 1 v.i. , 1 1 iuui v 1 1 1 r J of the state, for the purpose of ascertaining as fully as possible the actual conditions. The list of cities has not been announced, but it is understood that South Bend, Fort Wayne, Evanaville. Gary and some others will be included in the itinerary. Only one member of the commission wil be present at each hearing, and all will report back to the full commission. In this way it is the hope of the commission to find out Just why coal is scare in Indiana and price so outrageously high. E. I. Lewis, the new chairman of the commission, says that the commission will leave nothing undone to get at the bottom of the thing, and I that it proposes o use every bit of power or authority it possesses. Reports have reached the commission that there is plenty of coal in the state awaiting shipment but that railroads refuse to furnish cars to move the coal. ' In other places, it is reported, coal mine operators are keeping mines closed in order that the production may e kept down, thus making for high price. But whatever the cause of the scarcity and high prices, the public svrvic commission says it will go after il and will not quit until it "has solved the problem. Members of the commission says that if any railroad refuses to furnish cars to move coal in the state or fails to move the coal after it is loaded the com-! mission may apply for the appointment of receivers for such railroads, and have the lines operated under order of the courts. The fixed purpose of the commission is announced as the relief of the coal situation. Xot only must public utilities be supplied with sufficient coal to keep them running such, as vater,-gas. electric and similar companies but coal mujte supplied to state institutions, the manufacturing establishments and to the. private consumers for their homes. Talk of secret combines between coal mine owners and operators, railroads and others have been rife for some time, and all of' these will be thoroughly investigated by the public service commission, so it is said. A suit was filed in the federal court here yesterday afternoon by the S. W. Little Coal Company, of this city, against the receiver of the Evanswlle & Indianapolis railroad company asking for an order compelling the road to move cars of coal that are offered by the. company, and that as a result the company's mines are closed most of the time. The complaint makes the startling allegation that the coal company had tj agree to sell coal to the railroad for its own use at a price far below the price charged to other buyers, and that this was done solely as an inducement for the railroad to furnish coal cars to the coal company. The coal company also charges disi crimination. It says that a large nuni- ! her of coal cars offered to the EvansI vllle Sc. Indianapolis by other railroads for ! loading with coal have been diverted to other uses and for the hauling of other kinds of freight, while the coal company's mines wr complle1 to lie

SOCIETY FAVORITE LEADER IN WAR WOR K '.? .ft'.:' T -7 .IT Mrs. Ralph Peto. Mrs. Ralph Peto. a well known London society favorite,, is actively engaged in war work in the British capital idle. The output of this company's two mines is 2,500 tons a day. The public service commission has nothing to do with this suit, but the facts developed msy cmue jn handy for tie of the conimisrioii in its handlimc of the coal problem. II has-been announced by the new public serviccommission that the coal problem will have the right of way and that the enilre attention of the commission will be devoted to It at once. The commission has broad powers not powers laid down by the statutes but powers that come with the commission's right f turn the ljSht of Publicity on the methods and operations of railroads and coal mines. Publicity will cure many evils that cannot be reached by law. the commission believes, and much of th effort of the commission will be directed to giving the public an opportunity to see just what ih' trouble is with the coai situation. NAUGHTY BOYS UP BEFORE JUDGE Two youthful criminals from Indiana Harbor, whose record for the past years has been unusually bad, are being taken to the juvenile, court at Crown Tolnt today charged with Juvenile delinquency. Yesterday afternoon they crept into one of the catniviil tents on Ce-lar atreet, and managed to extract there from about thirty boxes of candv. A few weeks ago they stole $S and went tt Chicago and stayed several days. Other bad acts are credited to them. These embryonic criminals are of the masterful as a of S and 10 years but they can give pointers on questionable procedure that would do credit to master-minds. HEARING FROM THE SOLDIER BOYS Postcards have already bt?en received from many of the boys that went to Fort Wayne on Tuesday. They were addressed from Fort Thomas, Ky.
