RULES FOR TRAFFIC OYER DORAN BRIDGE

DELAYED BY COUNCIL Days "before the war" were recalled In city council Monday evening when that body pased an appropriation of $41.57 to pay a Judgment granted Albertus Hawkins in 1912. The sum was granted Hawkins by Wayne county circuit court, after Hawkins had sued the city for damages incurred when he drove Into a street where some construction work was going on. The accident occurred at night and Hawkins claimed in his suit that there was no light near to warn him of danger. Reports of the city delegates who attended the Vlncennes Municipal League convention were heard. Coun cilmen Al Ford, Joseph Walteraan and John White 6poke on this subject. Special mention was made of the talks delivered by Earl Crawford of Milton and W. D. Foulke "of this city. Regulation of heavy traffic on the Doran bridge came up for discussion when an ordinance limiting the loacu crossing the bridge was introduced. The matter was laid over until the next meeting to give the councilmen an opportunity to become familiar with the provisions of the measure. Bears HAvy Traffic The Doran bridge was completed in 1886. In the year 1891 an ordinance was passed to limit the speed of street cars crossing to the bridge to four miles per hour. Apparently this ordinance has never been enforced. City Engineer Davis said Monday eve ning that the bridge is Btill in good shape although bearing heavier traffic today than it was designed to carry. A total weight of six tons, with load, was specified in the ordinance Monday evening as the maximum for any vehicle crossing the bridge. The matter of establishing a rest room down town was brought up by a council member. Matt Von Fein, president of the board of works, said that owing to the pressure of business the board had not attempted to do anything in regard to the matter. The council urged that it be attended to at once. Pay Convention Expenses. An ordinance allowing $75 each to Fire Chief Miller and City Engineer Davis, who are to attend national conventions of these officials soon, wa3 passed. The money Is to cover necessary expenses. Several complaints in regard to the condition of streets were filed by councilmen. Streets mentioned were: South F street, between Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth streets; the National road, downhill from Earlham station, where loose rocks interfered with travel. A spout carrying water across the overhead bridge of the C. & O. railroad at Main street, was reported as being in a defective condition. The superintendent of the light plant was instructed to take up the matter of providing lights on Main street from Third street down the hill to the C. & O. bridge. He will endeavor to get the consent of property owners to have lights put on this stretch to make its appearance conform to that of the rest of the street. The Theatres MURRETTE. People who write or produce motion pictures usually keep their emotions in check. They are so busy watching technical effects that they do not have time to let their emotions run riot. A notable exception to this was made recently, however, when "The Old Nest," which is playing at the Murrette theatre. When the sales manager emerged from the projection room nearly all of them had tears in their eyes. Soon they were sen making their way towards the studio telegraph office. It was learned later that nearly every one of them after seeing this picture of mother-love had telegraphed to his mother. "The Old Nest ' was written by Rupert Hughes and directed by Reginald Barker. At the conclusion of the picture this sub-title is thrown on the screen: "If this picture should persuade you either to remember your mother pio-isly, if she is dead: or. if she lives, to send her a long love-let-ter or even a tPlegram saying: '1 am well. I think of you and love you,' or, above all, to go home and see her, then this picture would give more real Joy than any other picture ever made." MURRAY, Bessie Love, the wistful, winsomp motion-picture star, has revived a couple of former fads, as a result of her work in "Penny of Top Hill Trail,' the Federated feature release which is showing at th? Murray thtstre. Miss Love, in the picture, plays the part of Penelope, a youug girl who suddenly appears at Top Hill Ranch, inhabited by the Kingdons, father, mother and two children. The youngsters call upon the unexpected visitor to amuse them, as youngsters will, and she obliges. When the picture was filmed. Mist Ix)ve was Riven free reign by the director.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE An acrobatic act by Mcllyar and Hamilton proved to be one which is different in several respects. Hamilton jumps a rope while lying on his back. He performs the difficult feat of a barrel stairclimb. He jumps from the inside of several barrels until he comes to the last barrel which is 14 feet high, and he makes his jump into the last barrel and immediately springs out of this one to a drop of the full height to the floor. Dainty Dorothy Waters, a charm ing child actress, performs for the audience in a manner which proves winning in every respect. She makes a trip out into the audience, singing and at the same time flirting with the elderly men of the audience. She appears on the stage four different times and each time she wears a different costume. She makes rapid changes of costume and appears in Scotch costume and in disguise of a sailor boy. Raines and Avery present a comedy sketch. Avery is a good comedian and his partner, Raines dovetails nicely. They present a musical num ber with the banjo mandolin and flutophone mixed with a little comedy. In the final aqt "Rice Pudding" constitutes a complete musical and dancing act. The company consists of the pianist, two girls and two boys. PRICES ON (Continued from Page One.) the farmers as a class were not particularly affected by the tight money panic of 14 years ago, and the industrial situation in Richmond remained practically normal throughout that period. It was then that Richmond won its name, "The Panic Proof City." -The prosperity of Richmond is as dependent upon the prosperity of the agricultural interests today as it was 14 years ago. The fact that the joint congressional committee confidently predicts a turn in the tide of the fortunes of the farmers means much to Richmond. Must Favor Farmer, Now that a billion dollars additional credit has been made available for the farmers, the argument of those who are guiding the national policy in the unemployment conference is that the manufacturers by cutting their prices must make it attractive for the farmers, who are half of the entire pur - chasing power of the country, to buy manufactured products now. Such action, it is asserted,' will set an example for more general buying and the industrial machinery of the country will again be fully employed. taking up a large part of the slack by ! making it necessary for the big retail stores to nire me cierKs mat. nave been discharged because the general public was not buying. One of the disturbing elements In the industrial situation, as Chairman Anderson of the joint committee sees it, as well as one of the obstacles to reaching a more stable price level, which would represent a fairly normal division of rewards of labor and capital, is the fact that elements of the cost of doing business have not been reduced to anything like the propor tion that prices generally have fallen. This prevents the consumer from obtaining the full advantage of reduction in commodity prices.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

WASHINGTON STOCK ADDS TO SUCCESSES The newest Jack Bessey production being played this week at the Wash ington theatre, finds its humor in the situations arising out of the attempt of Bob Bennett (Herbert Duffy) to tell "Nothing But the Truth," for 24 hours.

Bob for assistant Tin doubing ajThe man for whom you vote should g&00 fund which she has raised Jo- YS

ward a home for children. Tne amount must be, doubled without the loss of a cent. Bob, who is an advocate of the truth, enters into a bet with his girl's father, E. M. Ralston (Arthur Olni), Dick Donnelly (George Robbins) and Clarence VanDusen (Jay Collins) that he can tell the absolute truth for 24 hours. If he wins he is to get $10,000. If he loses, he has to give the three the $10,000 which he is trying to double. The attempts of the three who bet against Bob, to get him to tell a lie during the 24 hours the bet is on, make a most enjoyable evening. Herbert Duffy performs very creditably. This character proves him to be as good a comedian as was forecast in his part in "Civilian Clothes." Arthur Almi gets the first important part he has had since the company opened here. He plays to advantage. It is hardly necessary for one to speak of Jay Collins and George Robbins. Both fixed themselves firmly in the order of things from the first appearance in "Turn to the Right." They do not lose any of their attractiveness in the more recent production. Gwendolyn Ralston (Lucille Husting). Bishop Doran (Jack Emerson), Mrs. Ralston (Lotta Ellis), Ethel Clark (Bonnie Beck), and Mabel (Blanche Cook), all have more or less important parts. Blanche Cook, who played opposite Herbert Duffy in "Civilian Clothes," found opportunity for a great piece of work at intervals. All were satisfying in their several roles. THE FORUM Editor of Palladium: Dear Sir: As a taxpayer I wish to say a few words regarding the article in your paper last Friday regarding the reason for adopting new school books this year. The hypothesis taken viz: "Our children should have the best and the last word in text books," is a true ment in itself, but the conclusion drawn was not a logical one. The text books which were in use last year are not so obsolete because many of them are used in other states at the present time and in states which compare favorably with our own in the field of education. Every subject has an organizing principle which is not arcificial. The organizing principle of geography does not change, the arrangement of the subject matter may tie changed. In the article refened to the author mentioned the study of groups of states on a historical basis. Now this was true so far as the study of political geography was concerned, but we have been teaching the physical geography in consideration the physical character of the country which might be called regional geography. Furthermore all will admit that a teacher who just teaches the text is a failure anyway and since text books .are merely guides for obtaining information, if teachers are carefully planning their work and school officials kep in touch with the "last word" all the time there is no danger of getting into a rut with either the present text books or those used last year. Then again if the old texts were wholly bad why have we been advised to allow some classes to continue In the old books for tho present year? If the books were really bad school superintendents should have urged every pupil in every grade to get a new book. The bare fact is that the adoption of school books last winter at the present price which we have to pay was wholly wrong. Why should the school book companies be given a five year contract at a time when the prices were at the peak? w ny is j mat tne doors which were considered best happened to be so eveniy arviaea among a numDer or dook. companies,: w ny aia tne State j superintendent advise that the con - tract be held up a while pending an in vestigation by a house committee? Again if the old books were bad why did the board of education not agreunanimously about the new ones? Again we see that what is best in the way of a text book is a debatable question. The very fact that the adoption has to be defended ' shows that the wisdom of it was doubtful. The old books could have been continued one more year even at a higher price, thus avoiding tieing the people of the state

Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, vicechairman of the Republican national committee, in an article in Woman's Home Companion for August, said: "You are a stockholder in your municipality. It is essential to pick a man 1 J ,kA - 1 J J i be unwilling to tolerate in office a man whom they would be unwilling to accept in a business or social relationship." Mrs Upton explains that she uses the term "social" in its broad sense. The entire article is worth studying as a guide to women in ihelr new political duties and responsibilities. M. D. V.

She was struck as she darted acros3 the road after alighting from another automobile. The accident was believed unavoidtble. Mr. Speitel assisted in caring for the girl, who was taken to the clinic.
