GIVIG ORGANIZATIONS VOTE FOR ASSEMBLY TO ADOPT HOME RULE INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 4. Civic organizations of practically every large city in Indiana desire the Indiana general assembly to enact a law making it possible for cities to adopt a commission or city manager form of government it was anounced by B. R. Inman, secretary of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Inman made the announcement following the return to the state chamber of questionnaires sent to its members. Replies were received from at least one city or town in every , county of the state and were almost unanimous in favor of ' legislation making the commission form of government optional with the cities, Mr. Inman said.' The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce favors the plan and chambers of commerce at Ft. Wayne, Evansville, Terre Haute, Anderson, Muncie, Huntingburg, Princeton, South Bend, Elwood, Michigan City, Richmond, and the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs of several cities also voted in favor of it. The- Indiana Retail Lumber Dealers' Association and the Indiana Retail Hardware Dealers' Association also approved the movement. Committee on Legislation. A special committee of the state chamber has been named to . foster legislation at the next session which would permit the larger cities to adopt the commission form of government. J. A. Van Osdol, Anderson, president of the state chamber, is chairman of the committee. W. H. Howard, Indianapolis, president of the Indiana Commercial Secretaries Association ; Robert E. Tracy, secretary of the bureau of municipal research of the Indianpolis Chamber of Commerce; Harry E. Negley, Indianapolis; Albert Fields, Bedford, representing the Rotary clubs of the state, and W. A. Rawles, Bloomington, representing the state Kiwanis clubs, are members of the committee. Bill Provides for Election. The state Chamber of Commerce was authorized to appoint the committee at a recent conference here of commercial secretaries. The bill that will be fostered by the committee makes it optional for the larger cities of . the state to hold a special election to decide ihe form of municipal government The petition for the special election must be signed by 10 per cent, of the voters at the last city election. All organizations in the state that answered the state chamber's questionnaire also expressed the belief that the legislature should amend the present "blue sky" law to make it more difficult for promoters of "blue sky" companies to sell stock in the state.

The Theatres MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Much merriment is given the audience at the Murray by the last act on Ihe bill. While several commendable tricks are performed by a pony, monkey and two dogs, the hit is in the endeavor of two good sized . colored boys and a heavy set man trying to ride a mule -named dynamite. - An invitation to any man in the audience to try his skill does not meet with ready response. Jumping tricks by a Russian Grey hound, and the pony's ability to walk upon its hind legs were meritorious. McCormack and Winehill, appearing first, were genuine "nut" comedians. Every thing they do or say, with the exception of a good song, is filled with the light nonsense which so readily takes with Richmond theatergoers. They were compelled to respond to an encore. We'll say for the boys "they have pep" Slang as you've never heard it, is the -main feature of the act "In Brownderbyville," by Princeton and Watson. The male member of the team seems to be what he acts, "A publicity agent for an oriental dancing show." He is helped ably in his impersonation by a young lady of the "Little Eva" type. Her helplessness at being stranded in a "jerk-water village" 600 miles from New York, permits the rough but kind-hearted fellow traveler an opportunity to display his gift of gab. James Lichter can play the piano, and play it well. But we can't say as much for his voice. His smile and self-conscious ways are very taking. During his few moments of speech between each selection on the piano, he finds it convenient to nervously button ! A WOMWS RECOMMENDATION Mrs. r. T. Tryor.

MURRAY. A real treat arrived last evening at the Murray theatre, when Buck Jones flashed upon the screen in his latest William Fox production, "Just Pals." Unstinted enthusiasm greeted both star and story. As Bim, a ne'er-do-well whose last name has long been lost even by himself. Buck Jones does the best acting of his career. Known the world over as a horseman, the-star hero here discards his familiar role. He performs daring stunts, however, which went over last night with a bang; his fight with a gang of bank-robbers being one of the most hair-raising scenes viewed here in many a day. Helen Ferguson appears as a beautiful school teacher and little George Stone as the waif, (Bim's Pal). The direction was well done by Jack Ford. MURRETTE. A musician; a barefoot girl of the Cumberlands; a blind girl who regains her sight certainly the last three productions of Mary Miles Minter have shown her to be truly versatile. She was a violinist in "Jenny Be Good," while a "Cumberland Romance" gave her a role of elemental emotions that proved one of the most successful of the many Minter triumphs. And now in "Eyes of the Heart," playing at the Murrette theatre for two days, the star has an entirely different kind of a role. As Laura, a blind girl, who regains -her sight, Miss Minter undoubtedly does some of the finest act. ing of her career. There is real drama in the disillusionment of the girl and her fight for happiness. The story was adapted by Clara Kennedy from "Blindness," by Dana Burnet. Paul Powell directed, while Edward Burns is leading man. It is a Realart picture. I School of Retailing to Open in New York (Tiy Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 4.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

A Winter MRS. F. W. STEVENS Tour Florida.'. ' We toured Florida from coast to coast. ' meeting friends such as shall bless our lives for aye, : with not a moment of sickness', accident or loss. West Palm Beac'n was our , first place, a tony resort, where people may repair to the Polnsettia, or spm equally swell hostelry, -or may enjoy Florida quite as well and more to one's natural inclination in some quiet street at a little homey apartment. Oranges, grape fruit and cocoanuts taste equally well anywhere in the state, but best we thought out in the groves. There under the trees, they say, is the true native order, are the fruit, round and round, leaving a base of peel, then sip, Bip, sip the liquid sweetness to supreme satisfaction. Orange spoons and napkins, not for the "crackers." Those who take the auto trails witness many an undoing of dignity, while the folks at home no doubt covet .the chance. What matter whether soaring price, good times, or simple good times, if the conscience remain clear, and the darkey's description does not fit. He declared : "Dere ain't no use tryin' to calkalate the kind of piety that comes with dese wanderin tourists." One finds it . difficult at :lrst to understand the topography of Florida's eastern coast. Band of Critic. 'A band of sand continues all along it, the arms of the ocean within named as rivers and lakes. These are crossed by bridges and causeways, where cities are built on both sides the water. The causeway over Bisscayne Bay at Miami was just completed when we were there a splendid thoroughfare 3 3-10 miles over and wide enough for a double boulevard and street car traffic. Miami enjoyr- a near-ideal climate and is the goal of wealthy tourists. Palm Beach and Ft. Pierce boast the closest touch of the fulf stream and consequently the most equitable temperatures. The splendid highway skirting the coast is nearly all on a level, for "the most elevated portion of Florida hardly reaches the dignity of a hill country." On either side the macadam or brick road one sees a continuous stretch ot sand and pine trees Monotonous indeed, tempting one to sing over and over that wearying refrain, "Pine trees, pine trees," etc. Live oaks draped in Spanish moss relieve the sameness in some sections. Melbourne and Orlando have this grey growth in perfection. We read a description like this: "It is as though night's cloak had caught upon the bare, sharp twigs, as phe fled before the golden trumpets of the dawn." Hanging in long sweeping testoons, it gives fence and forest a truly fantastic effect. We draped our car and hats, the drooping, streaming feathery mass a novelty and delight. Pleasure steamers can navigate all the way from Jacksonville to Miami, on the St. John's River alone for 250 miles, which appears like a veritable Amazon at the mouth where it is some six or seven miles wide. Turpentine Flowing. AH along the way one would think they were seeing maple trees tapped for sugar water, but they were only pine trees with vessels set to catch the flow of turpentine. Hundreds of miles of them with bands of bark removed in sections circling the sides nearly to the top. The turpentine industry totals 20,000,000 gallons yearly, this and mining phosphate rocks for fertilizers are the chief sources of income for the state. Speaking of fertilizers they are needed for every kind of crop raised in Florida. Results with grains, fruits and vegetables justify an extravagant use of it. After doing the Atlantic Coast we crossed the state to the gulf coast. The inland cities the abundant citrus groves and the 30,000 lakes that dot the interior, make this section extremely interesting. Before leaving Dayton for the overland route, w rode upon the famous beach there, a marvel to all privileged to try it. It i3 a splendidly formed natural beach some 100 yards wide and 25 or 30 miles long, given up by the ocean duringf low tide, the most perfect roadway one can imagine, not a dent does a foot make in the sand surface and motor cars by the thousands run up and down and side by side without a track or noise. The great sea out beyond which "plays with the clouds and mocks the sky" when it likes, reposed for a time, "like a cradled creature lies," while we take

in Florida I our spin, defying its approach, till it drives us back from its bed. . This was an extraordinary ride' and again another one along, the coast one day when a misty rain made, the Ocean's water appear a shade of green rarely seen. Bathing in the surf was p.ot such a popular pastime last winter, the life guards advising only a short plunge, but the sea was an unending source of enjoyment as we sailed or autoed along the shore, watching the ever-changing colors, leaving the eternal swish, swish of its wide surging waves. The foeart would keep singing, "I'm on the sea. I'm on the sea, I am where I would be." One day we went down to a captain's hqme. It. is built upon a cliff, overlooking where the waters of the St.Lucie Indian River and ocean meet. The captain and his devoted sister, Aunt Maggie, are in a spot to catch every breeze' that blows over the "blue the fresh, the ever free". The captain can lie in bed and see the beautiful upon which he has sailed many a ship, retired now, his declining years must be spent within sound of the dashing deep, within sight of the tossing billows. He delights in the mist and fog for his cloak and the clouds for his cap. As you stand before this trusty you instinctively uncover your head. You are with a master of the mighty deep, a veteran in war with wind and wave. In his hospitable home are minds and hearts as big and generous as the waves he'd battled with, Bon voyage and a safe anchor to the captain and Aunt Maggie. (Continued.) DAVIS REVIEWS PAST POLITICAL CAMPAIGN Walter S. Davis, formerly instructor in history in Richmond high school, and now occupying a similar position in the college of Puget Sound, is the author of a review of the presidential campaign of 1920 which has appeared in the official publication of the college, "The Trail." He is residing in Tacoma, Wash. The review has attracted wide comment because of the fact that it covers Its subject so thoroughly. The experience of Professor Davis as an instructor in history has' been used with telling effect in the writing. Professor Davis is well known in this city and his article will be read with interest by followers of all political faiths who were acquainted with him during his stay here. North End Mission Revival Opens Sunday Revival services will open at the North nd Mission next Sunday, Jan. uary 9. Meetings will be conducted under the auspices of Mr. and Mrs. William Abrams, of Western Grove, Ind. The public is invited to attend all services. Dandruff Surely Destroys The Hair Girls if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred ttmes better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff yon have. This simple remedy never fails. Advertisement.

The figures of the recent census show that Tokio is the seventh city of the world with a population of 2,147,190. The population of Osaka, the second city of Japan, is 1.248,056 but if the suburbs are included, Osaka's population is 2,-579,-361. A Common Sense Laxative Ask any doctor about laxatives. He will tell you that their use is harmful, because the continual prodding that the use of a particular laxative gives to the same organ all the time is harmful to that organ. He will also tell you that frequent changes of laxatives are not only desirable, but necessary. Since frequent changes of laxatives are essential for good results and to prevent overworking or irritating a single organ to the point of causing deterioration of its tone, science has finally hit upon the one and only logical and common-sense laxative plan. "Just-One" is the result of this new idea, which is now being so widely and so enthusiastically indorsed. In "Just-One," and only in this new brand, is this greatest of modern laxative ideas incorporated. Twenty Different Tablets Each a Different Laxative Ask your druggist about "Just-One."

The , Imperial glass. coach of the Hapsburgs is now ; earning its keep in the "movies" at loo.ooo crowns a performance. xne royal stables have become a -burden on the republic and the 80 magnific ent white horses and some 400 carriages of every description are made to partly earn their keep. ' They are used to drive members of the Assembly to and from their - homes,- they transport provisions for. the American relief and certain of the actresses and singers of the state theatre and opera still hold their contracts providing gratituitous use of the state carriage. Many horses and carriages were sold soon after the downfall of the monarchy, but many more of the gorgeous vehicles and showy horses remain unsalable. This is particularly true of the great glass and gold state coach, in the style of Louis IV, used only on great ceremonial occasions, and said to be the finest piece of coach work extant.
