: " ' .; Courtesy First. ;'

The Hbosier State Automobile association. Is

spreading ' broadcast the gospel of courtesy ."-for auto owners and drivers. The association holds that if every person were as courteous in his

driving as he is in his ordinary living, driving would be a greater pleasure, would be safer, there. would bt fewer repair bills; less sentiment against motorists, less need of stringent laws, and fewer accident?. .r .The Golden Rules which the association has"-? 'opted follow, and motorists and pedestrians wou . Ao well to " ponder ' them seriously:'; . i:,V i'- ..r' First, do not hog trw middle of thQ street. Give the other fellow room to go by and when he attempts to pass you do not speed up and perhaps crowd him into a safety zone. Be courteous. V Keep out ..of the safety zones. Theyare for the pedestrian. It is up to you to make them safe. Be courteous. r . When the fellow comes in. from the side street. Give him room to turn the corner; do not crowd. When you park behind another car, remember he may wish to leave before you do. Give him room

to get out; don't crowd. When you expect to stop or turn do not keep your intentions secret; think of the fellow behind. Be courteous. 7"; ; Do not presume too much when you have the right of way. Perhaps the other fellow does not know it. Be courteous. Do not cut in front; of a street car.' Remember the motorman is human and most of v them will learn all the courtesy you will teach them. Be courteous.

, When you get the "Go" signal from a traffic officer remember to give the pedestrians time to get out of the way. Be courteous. When you see people on the curb trying to reach a car or vice versa, slow up, stop if necessary, but let them cross without danger. This is one of the courtesies that will pay the motoring public best. Be courteous. , When a pedestrian does not or will not pay any attention to your horn it is well to remember that the deaf,' hundreds of them, use the streets as well as you. Be courteous. ,

- When you have an insane desire, to speed re

member; the other fellows you are passing have

just as much right to break the law as you have.

Think of the sentiment you are creating against motoring by your mania. Think of the accidents that may happen by your hitting some other dri

ver coming in from a side street, or pedestrian who does not see you coming. Think of the people in your own car, perhaps, who have a fear of speeding and are trying to be game and not let you know it. It is not sport to drive fast in the city; it is the utmost discourtesy to your fellow motorists and fellow citizens. Be courteous. f ; When a-pedestrian sees you coming and deliberately pays no attention to you, remember that some are, mentally deficient and you cannot tell them from the clothes they wear. Be courteous. When you see a child on a curb, slow up. Remember the child can start quicker than you can stop. Be courteous. Do not open your cutout on the streets during the day. Remember there are many sick people and people on their death beds, whom such a sound greatly disturbs. Do not open your cutout at night, for you probably remember some night when you toere disturbed when trying to, sleep by some fool whose greatest claim to fame was his noise". . Be courteous. .1 And remember that your horn is just a few times worse than your cutout. Be courteous. Be courteous to police officials and they will more than repay it. And if you feel like swearing at the: ordinances, or if you do not like the

traffic arrangements, remember that perhaps you may be wrong, as most cities of the United States today have the very arrangements and or

dinances which are in operation in Indianapolis.

NEW YEAR'S EVE

Requests for the address of Mary Plckford have come to tho office. Address letters to 270 Riverside Drive. New York.

How different our New Year's Eves f today are from those of yesterday! Today we ring in the new year with Joy and gladness in our hearts, but I can remember, when we were children traveling alone on the road, Lottie and I were terrified by the din and confusion of It. Lottie was nine and I was ten when we were doing one-night stands with a second-rate company, our vehicle being "The Child Bride" one of those rare and rank old melodramas constructed to give one alternately chills and fever, but winding up as prescribed by all optimists "happy ever after." Two or three of the actresses had faithfully promised our mother when she put Lottie and me on the train to look after us, care for us and see that we. stood In no imminent danger. But they cared nothing about us, and we two little tads were given neither attention nor kindness, but left to wander around and shift for ourselves. Our greatest terror was the landing in small towns and going to hotels, wher,e Invariably we were given the poorest room in the house. Then going back and forth to the theatre, through strange, dark streets, we would shrink from every shadow and run from lighted lamppost to lamppost, like scared rabbits. I was always the guardian of our resources, which seldom amounted to more than twenty dollars, but I stored It in a secure leather purse and hung It around my neck. This was guarded as if It contained the capital of the Bank of England. Left to Shift for Tnemselvts. One night, reaching a town we had never visited before, the company slipped away from us while we were busy trying to locate our suitcases. We hurried In the direction they had taken and found they had gone in a machine and had completely forgotten us. Lottie and I could hardly keep the tears from our eyes when I asked the station agent If he knew to which hotel they were going. His abrupt "Nope I ain't no mind reader. There's a dozen hotels in this here town," sounded as violent as if he had ordered us to prison. The busses were gone, so we took the street car. As we rounded a corner many blocks from the station, we saw the first electric sign that read Hotel." Lottie and I both jumped off the car and hurried into a strange tittle inn, old and dilapidated and almost deserted. But t a cheerful fire was burning in the grate and we wanned our cold hands while waiting for some one to come down ctairs.

she is only thirteen, I cannot advise her to give up school, even though she is ambitious to make money in pictures It is such an uncertain life that if s-e is forced to go to work she had better be sure of something else and keep pictures in the background until she has discovered whether she is a desirable type or not. You can always give up on position for a better one. There is not much chance for a girl of thirteen unless she has remarkable ability, which has been developed through years of stage experience as a child.

ECONOMY

Finally the door opened and a big, fat, jolly-looking German waddled Into the room. ' "Veil, vot ist?" "We are two theatrical children," I began timidly. "We would like to stay here tonight, if you don't mind."

He twisted his head on one side

and looked at us with his little twinkling', eyes. '.; ' ; ' "Ach,' Himmel! Two babies, pon my soul! Jost two little vuns."

"Have vou a room for us?" 1 asked

him eagerly. I V"Ja, ja,"Ja!" And he beamed . upon I nn,' patting our heads with his large, j plump hands. "Vere iss your mutter j

mis new xears aver two DaDies, dot's all you are two leetle babies." "My mother is with another company," I explained. "We're traveling alone. This is my sister Lottie." Still muttering, "Ach, Gott! Two leetle babies, traveling all by derselves," to himself, he waddled out of the room, "like a great, fat duck," whispered Lottie to me. And as we watched him, we giggled and held our hands up to our mouths for fear he might overhear us and come back without that broad, welcoming smile of his. A Fearful Suggestion. "You don't suppose" and Lottie's eyes grew suddenly serious "we have got Into a robber's den and he might steal all our money, do you, Mary?" I felt the leather purse which hung around my neck excitedly, confident that my twelve dollars in one dollar bills was still there. "I don't think so, Lottie, dear," I said, trying to calm her. "He seemed to be a very nice gentleman." "You can never tell about robbers," warned Lottie. "They're awful ' sly people, Mary." When he returned, he brought with him a tray and on it were two large glasses of warm milk and some of the best buns and German cakes I have ever tasted. Oh, how we children

gobbled that New Year's Eve spread! i And how warm and cozy we were in! this little roadhouse, for such it was with our kind German host. There was no ringing of bells or blowing of; horns or throwing of confetti on this,; our New Year's Eve. But it was one I of the. happiest nights we" had spent'

since we had to leave our home and travel on the road.

peaceful creature In this yard than L "I was standing In the barnyard looking about when along came Ned acting like a mad creature, and knocked me over. Before I could get on my feet along came Black Hen and her chicks cackling though she were crasy and looking so, too, and they

KnocKed ma over again.

"I had Just got up and was trying

to see what was happening when along

came Madam Duck, looking anywhere but where she was walking and hump, she came against me. .

"I am sure you all see plainly that

I am not to blame for all this trouble."

"Well," I am not to blame." said

Dina,. "and if any one thinks so let

him speak up, and I win soon convince

him they are wrong."

Dlna looked around and showed her

long claws, and If any one had thought It she never would have known, for

Dina's claws were very convincing ev

idence that she was not to blame.

"You all had better go home and

let the matter drop," said the Rooster, who did not' seem to be any nearer the truth than when he began to investigate the affair.

If you are so wise, Mr. Rooster."

said Dina, "I should think you would

know who started It by looking in Ned's eye." "Very likely a bee stung him; he says be was down by the garden." "Perhaps It was a bee," said Ned, "but It was very sharp like Dl "

Dlna turned and Ned did not say

any more; he walked away and all the other animals followed him. The bee that caused all the trouble knew noth

ing about the fuss it bad made, and

was bussing about the garden sipping

honey from the flowers.

Lord Northcliffe. the noted editor, in the papers under his

control, has carried on an attack against Lord Kitchener and Sir John French, the commander at the front. It is intimated that French's recall and the appointment of Sir Douglas Haig to command the British forces in the field, was due, in no small measure, to the campaign waged by Lord Northcliffe.

The bee began it when it alighted on a little blossom close to Ned's nose,

but when It was all over and the occupants of the barnyard asked how It all started no one could tell, and each blamed the other for the fright. Ned was a dog, and when he felt what he thought was the sharp claws of Dina, the cat, he gave a long howl and jumped up. He dashed across the barnyard and ran into Black Hen and her chicks. They thought he waB mad, and Black Hen ran, followed by her chicks.. They bumped into Madam Duck and over she went on her back. "Mercy, me!" she exclaimed, as she got upon her feet. "Black Hen has gone mad, I do believe," and off she waddled as fast as a duck can. Old Goosey Gander was standing In the middle of the yard when Ned came running toward him, knocking him over as he went by, and before Goosey Gander could get upon his feet Black Hen and her chicks came running by and over went poor Goosey - Gander the second time. He had just stood up and was stretching his neck to see what it was all about when Madam Duck came waddling by. She did not see Goosey Gander because she was looking ahead and, bump, she went Into him, and over they both rolled. "What do you mean by getting in my way?" said Madame Duck as soon as she was upon her feet. "Madam, you ran into me when I was standing perfectly still," replied Goosey Gander. "You must . be mad as well as Ned and the BlackHen."

Madam Duck ran away without replying and Goosey Gander ran also, for by this time Ned had run into Madam Pig and her little ones and tipped over three of them, and Black Hen was running so fast she could not stop, so

she rolled over the pigs, ana Madam Duck and Goosey Gander tumbled into the mix-up. The pigs squealed. Madam Duck quacked. Goosey Gander hiss. d his wrath, the Black Hen and her chicks cackled and peeped, and Ned barked as he ran. Dina. who had been peacefully sleeping in the barn doorway, jumped up and came out into the yard to se"e what bad (happened. , . !- - . She ran in front of Ned, whose eye was swollen by this time and paining him, and, thinking that Dina was the cause of all his troubles, he ran at her, showing bis teetb. Now Dina was not afraid of anything or any one, and she promptly humped her back and spit out her wrath at Ned. striking him with her paw. This stopped the procession again, and over went Ned and Dina and Goosey Gander. Madam Duck, Black Hen and her chicks. Madam Pig and her little ones. Red Rooster saw them rolling on the ground and beard the noise and thinking some sort of madness had struck the barnyard, he began to crow and he ran to a barrel and flew upon It. "Everybody Is mad but me," he crowed, "and I suppose I will have to get matters straightened out, for -no one else will be fit to. , "What is the matter with you all?" he asked as Ned and the others finally got on their feet and stood looking at each other with wrath in their eyes. "I wasn't to blame." said Dlna. '1 was walking along when Ned came rushing at men. showing his teeth, and that is something I will not stand." "You scratched me when I was asleep," said Ned. "No, I didn't," replied Dlna. "I hare been asleep in the barn all the morning." "Well, I know I did not start it," said Goosey Gander; "I never start anything, and there is not a more
