6 Jutoaua Jlailn Sfanes INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. Dally Except Sunday, 25-29 South Meridian Street. Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351 MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. AArtiainir f Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Legau Payne Cos. Advertising offices | Kew fr or k, Boston, Payne. Burns V Smith, Ido. , Vain Hopes Since the election County Auditor Fesler has indicated that he will ask the board of commissioners to purchase 100 extra voting machines. These machines are needed on account of the extension of the franchise to women. When the machines now on hand were purchased possibly ten prices were paid for them. It is to be hoped that when the present administration purchases these machines the tax rate will not go up any on that account. Schmidt*s Sham Battle Indianapolis citizens will view with considerable amusement the sham battle over the removal pf the mules from the Shelby street barns which Gus Schmidt has started with Mayor Jewett’s board of works. _ The amusement will be more general when Gus fails to make good his threats of impeachment and follows his usual course of much talking and no action. But back of the amusement incidental to this fiasco there is really food for serious thought. The women of the south side want a market. They have forced an ordinance through the council creating that market and making it incum bent on the board of works to vacate the Shelby street barns for market purposes. Having clearly demonstrated what they want, and having moved the proper representatives of the city to grant their want 9, they now find their desires blocked by another set of officials with whom they have not here tofore reckoned. All of which goes to show that it is exceedingly difficult In Indianapolis for mere citizens to obtain any official recognition. What May Be Expected The Legislative Council of Indiana Men announces the result of its questionnaire on important proposed legislation and intends to send infor mation to all men voters, so that the intelligent choice of candidates may be made. This council Is a subordinate institution to tho Legislative Council of Indiana Women. About one-half the nominees and holdover senators and representa tives replied to inquiries. Os this number thirty-one men favored four measures. Nine were opposed to making Saturday night permanent stocking darning time each week, six opposed the unlimited use of sulphur and molasses as a medicine, two were against the presence of any men,on the State coal board and one opposed enacting a law requiring all laundered men’s underwear to he turned right side out before placing among the clean clothes. There was no opposition to lodge attendance law permitting but one night a week out. One candidate wrote that all the points are incorporated in his party platform and that he might feel bound if elected to staud by them. It Is understood that similar questionnaires will be sent out by other organizations in order that the attitude of newly elected officials on all subjects may be known. | The Value of Athletics A dispatch from New York tells of an athlete who was second in the Antwerp Olympic games saving the life of a broker, his wife and daughter after they were cut oft by fire in their home. The athlete was taking an early morning walk when he heard the cry xor help. He placed a ladder under the window and assisted all three to the ground, thereby saving them from the burning building. The most remarkable part of all this was that the person who was saved had been unsuccessfully trying to telephone for the fire depart ment and give the alarm. This shows the advantage of athletics and creates a desire to excel In high jumping or running or something. Os course, the telephone is apt to go wrong. It always does go wrong at the wrong time and just at the time when the house is on fire it might not be in working order.-- If the coming generation will but engage In proper athletics It Is now demonstrated by this act that the telephone can go wrong if it wants to without serious trouble to any one. The fire department was saved the pains of getting out early in the morning to attend this fire and the man, because he was an athlete, was enabled to save life. Tills reminds us that Indianapolis is on the last lap to get anew athletic club and while we will not say a word about the telephone and its conveniences or the wrong number, we are led to indorse most heartily the new Athletic Association. We Do Move The announcement that a steel Ann In the Gary dtstrict la selling It* finished product in Italy cheaper than the raw material would cost in that country Is Instructive. , It argues well for Yankee genius; it shows what can be accomplished by the use of machinery and modern methods. It also Indicates how blessed the United States is with raw -material. Europe will eventually catch up with America industrially, the meantime the old country will be obliged to change sopie of its methods. This does not mean that those things In which Europe excels shall not stand out pre-eminent. It means that the old methods must give way to wpw ideas and that any one who Is too conservative to welcome the now Idea maintains that attitude to his detriment The railroad president who shocked eohservaUves In America by boasting that he "scrapped" a locomotive every day a few years ago, is abundantly Justified today. The old machinery of yesterday even If In good physical condition, wholly fails to meet today’s need, and today’s tasks should not be re tarded by yesterday’s machinery any more than truths discovered today should have old superstitutions and conjectures of yesterday hanging on to them. ' , In other words, v,e move In spite of ourselves, and happy is the person who can keep up with the procession. _ Encourage the Hen The whole country joins In the sentiment of the Indiana State Poultry Association in its advocacy of the erection of anew poultry building and more liberal appropriations for the support of experimental and extension work In poultry at Purdue. With raw eggs—good, bad or indifferent, costing 6 cents each or better on a warm autumn day and winter coming on, it is high- time something were being done, either buildings erected or a State commission appointed. Where now are two or-even one fried eggs for breakfast? Gone is the eggnog of delightful yesterday’s remembrance and absent Is even The rotten egg for politicians of the good old days. Who last saw the egg shampoo? If some liberal appropriation is not made, what will become of the gentle art of rolling an omelet? If extension and experimental work is not taken up by the State at once, how shall hamburger steak and veal loaf ever be held together without resort to glue or the hydraulic press? In order to. Increase the output of eggs let the State build proper buildings and let college professors and wise men rack their brains for the comfort of chickens and their utility. The old-fashioned red pepper and ground oyster shell have failed at the egg plant and something must be done. If the hens do not respond to scientific treatment, let there be Im ported baled eggs from China, the land of the fowl’s nativity, the plica where superfluous eggs are dried and shipped. At least the egg in powder form can be used in the manufacture of reaffy mixed cake preparations where the directions simply require that water be added. Should sufficient dry product be obtainable, make a breakfast food of it; add salt and water and drink while hot Still better, let a large appropriation be made to hasten the day when by-feeding Mrs. Hen can be induced to lay eggs with the yolk so white that the whole can be made Into cake without the trouble of separation. A labor saving egg would be anew and useful invention. In the meantime, do not try to quiet her voice—a hen that has la.d a fresh egg has done something well worth a noise. But by all means let the youth be educated In efficiency and increased production in the ology to which egg production belongs. Should everything fail and old age indicate the futility of the education serve the chicken to some millionaire who once In a while can afford the luxury of spring fry. * WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By Ann Lisle CHAPTER XCIV. "Forgive! The flowers eay It for me. And try to believe that I am a better man for knowing you. When you need a friend, won’t you come to me? TANARUS.%.” I had to believe he meant ltr No woman brings doubt with her from a shrine. By the time Jim came home I was dressed in anew frock of the lilac shade he lov&s so well—and his dress clothes were laid out and his bath waiting. I wasn't trembling and- palpitating with love—athirst for his kiss. But I was warmed and comforted by tie joy of service. I wonder if that’s the true meaning of marriage after all? Nothing was said of recent events .Tim didn’t have to go to his collar box, since I had put the studs and links and collar buttons In his linen, so for the time being he didn't realize that I had returned his ten-dollar bill. Almost timidly, Jim. came over to me. I laid my hands in his and he kissed them—first one, then the ether. But he didn't take my lips, I think I was half disappointed, half relieved. "Wonder-girl,’’ he cried. “You're the most beautiful thing in the world. But not a little lilac-princess tonight. Anne— a queen instead. By Jove, you've some thing of the stately, womanly look of our beautiful Betty. Only you’re much more wonderful. A queen!” he ended,* slowly staring at me with puzzled eyes as he dropped my bands and, limped into bedroom. I woader If Betty's look of stately re serve came to her through pain—l won der If her dead husband caused that pain. After a minute, Jim came out again flourishing his pleated shirt in his hands. He was grinning boyishly. lie seemed Jike himself again. ‘‘Wonder-girl,'' he repeated.' “If you didn’t pick out this nice, soft, ruffly shlrjjr-lnstead of dooming me to a stiff bosomed horror. And when I think of the bachelor days of selecting shirts and ramming In studs, 1 could dance. Ready In a Jiff, Anne. "Oh, by the way, Norreys is going to ‘Speak Soflly' Good Advice Now Theodore Roosevelt said: "Speak softly, carry a big stick and go a long way in a day.” When four million men wero taken from productive work atu called into war service in the United States, a great void wa3 created in the labor market and there were not enough men and women for the jobs. Many men who bad been accustomed to hiring men to assist them and many women who had been hiring employes for their homes found it possible to get t along with less help. Now, since the war is over and the men are back again largely occupy ing their old Jobs, a lot of people who wero given temporary positions find there is no steady work for them, and a of others who have Jobs have found they had better speak softly. They tn carry as big a stick as they wish to if they don't show it, but many are losing Jobs every day because they do not realize conditions have changed In tho labor market. Employes will have to be as careful as their employers In the future or lose Jobs. They will have to remember that the employer carries the big stick. Unemployment is growing in the iasge cities. Hobo hails are full of floaters —the men who work only to drift from one Job to another and winter In the city. Thousands of them would be in the Bridewell if they could get booze at the old prices. But the old "flop” whisky that was 10 cen(3 a drink now sells for a dollar and they do not havw the money to pay ten times the old price, so they can't get in the Bridewell and have free lodging. Employment agencies, which formerly had little business except in hiring men to quit one Job for another, are now filled with men looking for work. Those who can see that conditions have changed in the labor market are after steady jobs; they know the thing to do is to settle down Relief to the unemployment situation will come in public work. In the building industry, in increased work on the railroads Road building will give Jobs to thousands and many others will be engaged in making road material. And this work will have its part in lowering the cost of living.™ W. D. Boyce In the Saturday Blade. Chicago. • Men!

By Cory. BY DAVID CORY. Now, In the last story, Puss Junior, with I Mr. Ulysses and his sailor men came to the cave where Mr. Poly Phemu* lived, you remember. And Just a* they were gotng to knock oa the door, the great one-eyed giant himself came home with a great bundle of firewood In his arms. "What do you want?” he asked, throw ing down his bundle of wood, and hi* great round eye in the middle of his forehead rolled Yhls way and that until it saw little Puss, when It winked quite Solemnly. "We have brought you a Jug of wine,” said Mr. Ulysses. “We are weary from our long voyage.” “Then stay for supper,” said Mr. Poly Pbemus. “But you must be patient until I make the fire and milk my goats,” and then he drove them Into the care, and after that he rolled a great rock up against his front door. “I don’t like that,” thought Puss to himself, “for how can we get out If this , giant doesn't want us to.” Well, after awhile, the giant became ! dreadfully ugly. Perhaps the smoke got 1 Into his one eye, and when you have only one eye and It gets full of smoke, of course, It’s very hard to see. And, then, too. Mr. Ulysses and hls sailors ate an awful lot and It kept Mr. Poly Ph*mus ; busy cooking for them. 8o after a little while be grabbed hold of one of the sailors and would have killed him then and there If Puss hadn’t waved hls flam ing gold feather In front of Mr. Phemus's eye. “Be sociable, Mr. Poly Pbemus,” said Puss Junior. "We have brought you a Jug of wine.” Well, this sort of pleased ; the big giant, and he let the sailor go, land after wiping hls eye with his pocket handkerchief, which was as big as a i sheet, he drank the whole Jugful and then went to sleep. "Now’s the time to escape,” said Puss Junior, and he squeezed out of the door But, oh, dear me, Mr. Ulysses couldn't get out! He was too big. Well, I don’t ! know what would have happened If little | Puss hadn’t found a rope and tied It to ! tho horns of an ox that belonged to Mr. i Poly Pbemne, and then he tied the other ' end around the big stone, and then he •aid, "Gee, haw,” and the ox gave a great pull and away rolled the stone, and then Mr. Ulysses and hls sailor men ran out and pretty soon they were all safely aboard their Bhlp and sailing away. And then Mr. Ulysses took no the megaphone and called back, “Goodby, Mr. t Newest SUITS Up to $59.00 Special s2^-50 Our choice selection of newest fall models on sale at this price.

Bujt, luckily, it wasn't hit, although the water spattered all over them and came very near drowning Mr. Ulysses and his crew, and if Puss hadn't seized a pall and baled out the boat I guess they all would have gone down to Davy Jones’s Locker, which any old sailor will tell you Is the last place he wants to go to.—Copyright, 1920.
