Zoning the City
BACK at the National Capital they have hired some build
ing experts to study American cities. The idea was to
find out, if possible why American cities are not more
pleasant, more beautiful, more healthful. The experts have found
out, they say.
It’s a matter of zoning.
A zoning ordinance is pending now in the city council. The
city plan commission has drawn it and the measure will receive
attention from the civic organizations, who will be asked to ap
prove it
If anew zone plan is adopted for Indianapolis that makes
provision for a more livable city, we will be in advance of most
municipalities of the Nation, which is the position Indianapolis
desires.
Crazy Styles
StV i .~RS are always adjusted to the national state of mind.
And the return of normalcy is shown by the present exit of
jazz clothing designs. So says Louis Rubin, secretary of
the American Clothing Designers’ Association. /
Louis, the national state of mind has little to do with it. The
change, as always, is in the state of mind of some designers and
manufacurcs.
The jazz styles, that are scheduled to go into storage with
mothballs, did not reflect unbalanced or neurotic mental con
dition among the “vast majority” of the American people.
Freak styles come in cycles, periodically, regardless of the
national state of mind. Fifteen years ago was an era of horse
sense, without jazz. Yet the lads of that day wore the craziest
clothes known to our generation—peg-top trousers, shoestrings
for neckties and enough buttons on a 6uit to load a dozen shot
guns.
Short skirts came in as a “freakish” style, yet they are sane
and sensible. Now the decree goes forth, that to be in the swim
the short skirt must he discarded for a long one.
This doesn’t reveal any change in the national state of the
feminine mind, for nine out of ten women are about as keen to
give up their short skirts as they are to “gather wrinkles.” But
the long skirt, by elaborate staging, will be forced on women again.
Fashion is a cruel and unjust Simon Legree.
A Discredited Bill
WITH Senator McCumber retired by the Republican voters
of his own State, and Representative Fordney beating
the voters to it by declining to run again, the Fordnev-
McCumber tariff bill is in a bad way.
From a party organization standpoint it may be politically
virtuous for a party to give its big campaign contributors what
they bought and paid for, but it doesn't always get the votes back
home.
The tariff bill now before Congress is a monstrosity. It’s too
tough even for partisan digestion. Better yank it out of Con
gress and put it on ice. Its odor is becoming increasingly of
fensive.
What’s in-a Name
OK THE eray dawn of a blue Monday in the National Zoolog
ical Garden there was born a green monkey.
He had a pink tail and dark brown eyebrows.
Yes, he was quite a curiosity. So much so that the National
Zoo keepers coudn’t decide what to name him.
With due respect to the Administration we offer this sugges
tion. Let’s call the funny little green monkey:
“Normalcy.”

High heels are coming back on wo

They are- called Louis heels, after
the vain French king who originated
them to make his short body taller.

' Bald
An old scientific nag is trotted out
of the stables by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka,
of Smithsonian Institution. He thinks
fKt baldness Is increasing, hair be
coming unnecessary, and that in 2.500 j
years men’s skulls will be as hair
less as billiard balls.
The scientists of several thousand
years ago probably were extending
the same comfort to the bald. Plenty
of bald-heads are mentioned in the
Old Testament.
The truth is. the amount of hair
In all generations depends on the con
dition of the thyroid gland.
Hypnotized
George Murray, 9 years old, shoots
himself in the head with a blank
cartridge while watching a movie at
Middletown, N. Y.
This Interests scientists. Their ex

so hypnotically Interested in the pic
ture that he was unconsciously imi
tating the actions of the leading ac
tor. You have observed small boys
pommeling the air with their fists
while watching a movie brawl.
A hypnotic power of this nature Is
dangerous if used recklessly.

The foods that spoil most quickly

The wrapping paper on meats ab
sorbs the juices and therefore should
be removed upon delivery from the
butcher-shop. Remove the paper,
wipe the meat with a clean cloth
that has been wrung out In cold
water and then place It In a dish in
the ice-box. Uncooked fish should
not be put in the ice-box, as odors
rise upward. All strongly flavored
foods should be put on the top shelf
of the Ice-box.
A cool, dry basement or cellar Is
much better for fruits than the Ice
box. Ripe fruits quickly spoil and
should be bought In small quantities.
Butter readily absorbs the odors
from other foods and should be kept
cool and well-covered or wrapped.
Eggs should be kept dry and cool.

Oil Poured On
Our Troubled
Marcel Waves
The Woman Who Wants a
Wave Need Waver No
Longer.
By MARGARET ROHE.
Nobody know* how she suffered tor those—
Those ringlets of which poet* rave—
Nobody knows save those other poor damee
Who re all had a permanent wave.
Fair ladies (also brunets) have been
done in oil since the days when Chris
tian martyrs were boiled in it and the
times when the Old Masters painted
them In It.
Modern masters are still doing
them, full figure, three-quarters and
bust with oily success.
However, it remains for Nestle, that
artist in hair, who concentrates on
heads alone, to do the job so well in
oil that he combines all the sufferings
of the early martyrs and all the
beautifying results of a Sir Peter Lely
and get away with it at the rate
of thirty or forty heads a day during
the busy season.
Sounds like a regular Bluebeard,
but he really is just the inventor of
the new process for permanent
waves.
Time was ten or eleven years ago,
when the first permanent waving ma
chines, invented by Nestle, were tried
out in this country. After a first shy
reluctance women flocked to the tor
ture, like lambs to the slaughter.
It took from six to seven hours of
burning, twisting, tiring agony to
accomplish the frenzied frizzes.
Oil on Troubled Waters
Then along came Nestle and poured
oil on the troubled waves.
With his new method three hours
is all the time required to turn the
stralghteet locks into ripplir.g ring
lets.
The hair is first saturated in the
oil and then wound on metallic
tubes. Wrapped In oiled strips of
cloth instead of the erstwhile borax
treated strips It is then inserted
directly into the aluminum cylinders
of the electric machine.
The current Is switched on for just
seven sizzling minutes and then the
victim is done —well done —but only
half a head. If she has to have a
whole bobbed head waved it means
an encore of the seven hectic min-
utes as the machine only has a
twenty-four curl capacity.
Although the wave often emerges
like a burnt offering, the finished
effect of damp-defying ringlets is
Irresistible enough to offset a slight
branding. What's a blister or two
compared to the joy of being able to
'toss the little old kid curlers In he
garbage can?
Many already have fifteen or twenty
wavings to their heads and credit and
are still going ahead strong.
BEATS ANARCHY
Why Germany Is Likely to Get a
Credit Extension.
By United Revst
PARIS, July 11. —The fear In allied
quarters that Germany is In danger
of falling into “reactionary anarchy”
is likely to lead to their granting of
some sort of moratorium on the cash
reparations payments demand of her
under the Versailles treaty.
The moratorium probably would ex
tend over one year, and possibly two,
though France will hold out for the
minimum.
So alarmed have the allies become
over the volcano-like state of affairs
in Germany that even the most
grudging of the entente powers would
prefer to forego temporarily what It
believes to be its just dues rather than
play the German monarchists’ game
by squeezing the Wirth Government
at the most-critical moment in its his
tory.
Distasteful to France
Obviously, the granting of a suspen
sion of the German reparations pay
ments is a matter that Is extremely
distasteful to France. But since the
reparations commission, by a majority
Vote, can decide the question and
since it is a foregone conclusion that
England, Italy and Belgium will vote
In favor of a respite, France will con
sider herself lucky if she is able to
hold the period of the moratorium
down to a year.

World Too Small
for the Crook to
Hide Himself In
Police Chiefs of All Limit
Take Two Important
Steps.
By CHIEF PHILIP SMITH.
By yEA Service
LONDON, July 11. The famous
earth soon will be too small to hold
a crook wanted In any corner of It!
Two steps of vital Importance in
crook catching have just been taken:
First, an international police head
quarters, a world police station, with
on international chief end cooperating
police departments in every section of
the globe, is not far off.
The other important step Is that
police chiefs have won, after a
long fight, a National Bureau of
Criminal Identification in Washington,
operating under the Department of
Justice and consolidating the data In
the hands of the Federal Government
with that held by individual police
departments.
Police chiefs now have been agreed
to oooperato in a nation wide anti
crime program. Here are the out
standing actions to be coordinateiy
taken :
ONE: Rigid prosecution of drug
peddlers.
TWO: Handy “bail bond sharks"
must go. They have stood in many
cities as corrupters of officials and
defeaters of Justice.
THREE: Any person carrying a
gun In connection with a crime is
a potential murderer. We must fight
probation in all cases of persons ar
rested for auto theft, robbery and
the like where guns are used.
FOUR: Auto police details must
be equipped with armored cars and
proper weapons for fighting the
most desperate type of criminal—
the payroll bandit, the auto bandit
and the stick-up man.

by two soldiers stationed at Thirty-
Eighth St. and Emerson Ave., when
he failed to stop his automobile at
their order. They told police they
had orders to stop every automobile,
in an effort to find Marshall.

Both Sides Ask
Time to Think
Over Proposal
Coal Producers and Miners
See Significance of Hard
ing’s Ideas.
By United Unci
WASHINGTON, July 11.—Preei-
Hardlng has proposed to mine opera
tors and employes that they arbitrate
their differences, but the basis of his,
proposal is such, that both sides wish
plenty of time to determine their re
plies.
Hence, while the President asked for
an answer to his proposal immediate
ly, If possible, the operators have In
formed him that they will have to con
sider the plan most carefully and de
liberately and the miners have de
clared it will be nearly a week before
they con say “yes" or “no.” A con
ference of the 123 members of the
miners" policy committee has been
called for next Saturday by President
John L. Lewis.
Meantime, the conference of anthra
cite miners and operators scheduled
for Monday was postponed indefinitely
pending the acceptance or rejection of
the President's proposal until tha'
time the mine strike will continue its
present status.
Program a Settlement
Both operators and minors pointed
out that his program constituted a
"settlement,” not a “basis of negotia
tion,” such as each side has been
quarreling about. It calls for a na
tional wage agreement, no immediate
reduction in wages and a thorough
probe of the industry, all of which
the miners have demanded. On the
other hand it contemplates arbitra
tion, instead of direct negotiation, and
stipulates that non-union mines should
continue operation without molesta
tion of their present personnel by
union workers, both of which are
distinctly distasteful to the miners.
So. with both sides noting unsatis
factory elements in the proposal, their
i ospective answers have been post
poned.

Hair Coated With
Axle Grease New
Style for Dance
IPs Smart and If Doesn’t
Crack During Program of
Lively Hoofing.
By WALTER D. HICKMAV.
“Axle greased" hair Is the sign of
the dance.
’Tls true, just the same, but I
didn’t know it until I dropped Into ;
B. F. Keith’s this week to see Roscoe
Ails, Kate Pullman and their Orches
tra of Syncopation.
Alls Is wearing his hair this season
plastered down on his head In “axle
grease" fashion. It jooks so "smart"
that at times it almost cracks. And
he makes the best of his comical ap
pearance.
His skypiece is as shiny as a skillet
In any kitchen dares to be, but hi#
whole make-up is the sign of the
dance. Ails and Miss Pullman have
banded together a nifty crowd of
players and hoofers.
Although Miss Pullman’s costumes
are as abbreviated at times as one
sees on the beach at Atlantic City,
yet she is able to join effectively in
the nimble stepping.
Ails Is an eccentric comedian. He
carries his line of patter right into
his weird dances. No wonder he holds
up the show.
Some of his Jokes approach the line
of prohibition, but he knows Just
last season ir. “The Bad Man.”
where to stop. He permits the audl
ence to do the guessing.
Ails, Miss Pullman and their or
chestra easily takes first place among
the acts of this nature seen at Keith’s
this summer.

He Shoots and Hits
It’s a good thing the two men of
the Georgal.a Trio are crack shots or
somebody would be buying wings. The
two men of this act are splendid shots.
The female member of the company is
so confident of the expert ability of
one of the men she permits him to
unbuckle her garter by shooting the
buckle off with a rifle. A rapid fire
act. (Couldn't help using that one).
The opening bill at Keith's this
week is Hugh Johnson. He is a confi
dential magician. He tells the au
dience everU'ung but how he does his
tricks. A nice act. Nothing preten
tious but a pleasing offering.
The movie feature is Oladys Walton

Conceming "Seven Chances”
As hot weather diet "Seven
Chances” isn’t so bad. In the regular
season it couldn’t be digested. These
hot days it is just a warm weather
sandwich —crowded In between some I
really worth while offerings of Stuart i
W alker.
"Seven Chances" is the lightest kind
of mush. A chap will inherit twelve
millions if he is married by the time
he is 30. When he finds out that pro
vision of the will he has only twenty
four hours to get a wife. Funny thing
how twelve millions does not appeal
to some girls. Os course he gets the
money and the right girl.
'This comedy la smart at times, but
It drags too much while the author
becomes brilliant again. Aldrich Bow
ker is "married" in this play to Eliza
beth Patterson. Bowker easily walks
away with the comedy honors in the
first act when he is deploring the
fact he is a married man.
George Gaul plays tbe role of the
chap who has to marry before he is
30. Mr. Gaul (according to a woman
who sat near me) isn't convincing be
cause he is “too darned attractive.”
(not my words, mark you.) Mr. Gaul
gets everything possible out of this
light role.
Julia Hoyt plays one of tha seven
chances and does very well by the
few things she haa to do. Julia Mc-
Mahon os Lilly, one of the chances,
exhibited the best work of the
“chances.” Beatrice Maude plays the
chief feminine role pleasantly.
No one Is expected to take this com
edy seriously—not even a dramatic
reporter.
Others In the cast include Walter
Poulter, George Somnes, John Wray,
Clark Hoover, Donald Macdonald, Lu
cile Nikolas, Mary Ellis and Myra
Hampton.
Never has Mr. Walker dressed the
women In his company better than
they are this week. Asa dress pa
rade, “Seven Chances" is a success—
that's its only achievement.
At the Murat all week.

European creation called "The Broken
Mirror.” The head of the house
comes home on a spree and just be
fore he enters his apartment, a maid
and a valet accidentally break a
large mirror. The volet decides to
impersonate hie master when he
poses before the broken mirror. The
success of the act depends upon the
ability of the actor playing the "re
flection" in the broken mirror. Not
anew Idea but nicely done by
Schwartz and his company.
The Six Stellas—Bix girls who do

Good act.
Wood and White—Tramp come

The Masons—Three male cyclists
who do head to head balancing on a
cycle. They do a waltz on a unicycle, j
it is a clever bit.
“A Night in Venioe” —An act using
a mixed quartette of singers and a toe

JULY 11, 1922
Deadlock Halts
Hospitals for
Wounded Men
Ex-Soldier Farmed Out to
State and Private Insti
tutions.
By HARRY B. HURT,
WASHINGTON, July ll.—Vital dif
ferences in viewpoint have been re
sponsible for the deadlock that has
delayed providing hospitals for dis
abled ex-service men. Chief among
these are:
One: Disagreement as to future
hospital requirements.
Two: Conflict over hospitalizing
men suffering from mental disor
ders or tuberculosis in hospitals.
Three: Period within which men
tal or tubercular ailments attrib
utable to army service may develop.
Four: When the peak of the hos
pital load may be expected.
Government hospitals developed
duimg the war and immediately
thereafter were located, designed and
equipped primarily with a view to
maximum efficiency in treating gen
eral medical and surgical cases.
The bulk of patients now requiring
hospitalization, , however, are either
tubercular or mental cases.
Most Patients Are Tubercular
Os 18,266 veteran patients In the
government’s ninety-nine hospitals on
Juno 8, 1922, there were 7,931 listed
as tubercular, 4,675 as neuro-psy
chiatric or mental cases, and 6,660 as
general or surgical.
In addition 9,038 men were distrib
uted among 1,271 state and private
asylums, homes, sanitariums, infirm
aries, etc. Os these 4,567 were men
tal cases.
Men committed to state and pri
vate asylums and institutions re
ceive, for most part, only “custodial
care,” which means bed and board
and a roof over their heads. They
receive no treatment or nursing or
special care designed to check or cure
their mental sickness.
In government hospitals the most
skilled and scientific psychiatrist# di
rect the treatment and care of tha
men.
In addition to the 4,56? mental
cases farmed out to non-government
institutions there are also cared for
In contract hospitals at government
expense 2,911 tubercular veterans
and 1,560 general and surgical cases.
Tubercular and mental cases, pres
ent figures show, constitute three
fourths of the cases now being hos
pitalized.
THE MAIL BAG
To the Editor; From dispatches is
conveyed the information that the
gland transplantation operation on a
prominent New York man was a com
plete success; that he "is reported In
high spirits” and "completely reju
venated.” Some months ago a New
York physician underwent a similar
operation and came out of It "anew
man.”
The use of a gland from the eye
of a rabbit has been used for years
as a means of restoring lost eyesight.
Andj of course, a monkey gland oper
ation, if successful, ought to afford
the ordinary old person a lot of new
activity. Let me suggest other torms
of glands which might be Inserted In
the human body with beneficial re
sults.
How about the substitution of snake
glands in the bodies of prospective
public officials? Flea glands would do
for college athletes, and, lastly, cha
meleon glands for flappers.
Are your glands working, BIB?
HALE AND HEARTY.
To the Editor: So far as begging
goes, it is generally regarded as
legitimate, so is sanctioned in most
places by the authorities. In a few
cities it Is banned: others allow It
after compliance with certain specifi
cations of tha law, and in still other
places It is unrestricted.
For the last few years Individuals
who term themselves as wounded ex
service men have been occupying va
rious street comers and In this guise
have found it a profitable experience.
A man who was wounded or disabled
in the service of his country natural
ly has a claim for assistance and
should be helped In some way. In
most cases the Government has seen
fit to take care of the men who really
needed assistance. In some cases it is
acknowledged that the Government
has made mistakes.
But there really is little excuse for
the wholesale begging which is now
prevalent. Conditions have been bet
tered, tbe Government has made every
effort to compensate and care for dis
abled ex-service men, and most of
them have received hospitalization.
There’s nothing highly honorable
about begging, either, especially if
there is an alternative.
