The Coal Distribution The law of supply and demand promises to do for Indiana coal con sumers what the State of Indiana has been wasting thousands of dollars attempting to do. Indiana coal producers are finding that it is no longer to their advan tage to attempt to divert coal from the market of this State to the con sumers of other States. There is a prospect that in a very short time this State’s coal market will appeal greatly to the mine owners of Indiana be cause of the slack demand for their product In other fields. This condition is due to the lessened consumption in manufacturing centers, to oversupply of coal in other fields and to the closing of lake traffic, which afforded an outlet for Indiana coal. Already, it is announced, Indiana producers have started to solicit orders for steam coal and it is expected that they will be glad to get orders for domestic coal in the near future. All that stands between the consumer and his coal at present is the narrow margin on which the retailers are expected to do business under the regulations of the Goodrich coal commission. It must, be apparent to every man who has had any business experience that operating margitfs vary in every individual business. Capital and brains hesitate to enter a business where there is no allowance for this variance. Coal dealers who find themselves subject to such regulations as interfere with a reasonable return on their investment and for their effort soon lose interest in the business. Carried to its logical conclusion the attempts of the Goodrich admin istration to compel coal dealers to do business as the Goodrich commission thinks they should rather than as business sense compels, will annihilate the present coal distribution system. • This result might eventually be necessary, but no one will argue that It is desirable in the absence of some distribution system to take its place. Coal we must have. If dealers are to be discouraged in the handling of it, them some method must be evolved by which the public need will be met through another agency. The coal commission's efforts have so far been destructive, with no constructive program. • Low p-ices for coal in Indiana are no benefit to the consumer who cannot get the coal. The administration will win no friends by the wrecking of the coal distribution system without making provisions for the distribution of the necessary coaL Congratulations! Congratulation of the Indianapolis Church Federation is again in order. Its protest to our debonair prosecutor, Mr. Clarice Adams over “Aphro dite” is an assurance to the good people of Indianapolis that the federation still lives. There has been much concern over the hibernation of this organize tion and it is reassuring to know that it still stands as a bulwark against the invasion of things that are immoral. Whether “Aphrodite" Is or is not of these “things” we decline to say. When poker was the favorite amusement in the county jail the church federation did not protest. When a bootlegger was found to be making a cache out of Shortridga High School the church federation was not at home. When Stegmeier brothers conducted their open gambling place on Illinois Etreet and Denny Bush sold his race horse pools without inter ruption the church federation was “closed for the summer months.” But the spirit of opposition to ail that is not for the moral uplift of the community was not dead. It was only dampened. And yesterday it broke loose in a protest to that great exponent of good government, the prosecutor who could “see no criminal intent" ih the stuffing of the jury box in Criminal Court. Perhaps, on second thought, we ought to congratulate "Aphrodite.” The federation's protest will insure it a great run in Indianapolis and it seems to have been the one thing capable of revitalizing a decadent organization. The Price of Ambassadorships The price of ambassadorships under the Harding administration does not promise to be particularly high. The Republican national committee’s deficit for the last campaign is reported to be only $116,465. About four ambassadorships at $25,000 each and one at half price will wipe out the deficit and among those wealthy gentlemen whose desire for honors leads them to seek such posts the sum needed to replenish the party treasury is a mere trifle. Nearly every other country In the world provides sufficient revenue for Its ambassadors to make ends meet while abroad. Thereby it assures that men capable of making ends meet under all circumstances will take the jobs and look after the affairs of the nation in an acceptable manner. But for many years the apportionment of these posts under the vari ous Presidents has been conducted on the auction plan in the United States. Party leaders realize that if they win they need not worry about cam paign deficits. There are always wealthy men ready to put up the needed money in return for the privilege of kneeling at the courts of Europe. It isn’t an effective method of insuring good ambassadors but it is a safe way of financing campaign expenditures. Had the Democratic chances of success been better it is likely that the Democratic deficit would have been even larger than it is. Gambling and Robbing Following the appointment of new heads to the Chicago police force an attempt is being made to clean out the gamblers who Infest that city. The chief of detectives says: "I’m not after the gamblers. That isn’t my job. I’m out to suppress ■;rime. There was $1,000,000 being gambled in the places we raided. Where did that money come from? "It comes from stick-ups. It comes from jewel robberies. It come3 from Saturday pay roll robberies. And by Saturday night these crooks are In the gambling houses, losing it all. "It’s gambling that lures them. They rob and kill just to have some thing to shoot craps or play faro. And if they can’t gamble they won’t rob.” Indianapolis has been suffering for many months at the hands of petty larcenists whose depredations in individual Instances are slight but the total of which represents a tremendous loss to citizens. At the same time the records of the police court show innumerable arrests for gambling. Gambling houses do flourish in Indianapolis, in spite of the smug declarations to the contrary of members of the administration. Gambling is a profession in this city, just as in any other city of its size. And what is more, there is no sincye effort on the part of the law enforcement agents to stop it. j| "If they can’t gamble they won’t rob, says Chicago’s chief of detectives. The statement applies in Indianapol'x as well as in Chicago. WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married, Life By Ann Lisle CHAPTER Cl. Swept by an Instinct deeper than mere Impulse, I hurried from that strange luncheon party at the Cllnsarge, flung myself extravagantly Into a taxi and gave the driver Virginia’s address. There had been pleading In Carlotta Sturges's eyes, and stark amusement in Tom Mason's gaze. None of that mat tered. I had to go to Virginia with the message that I felt Pat Dalton trying to convey to her through me each time we met and he fumbled sadly for .words. The feeling that I was a messenger convoyed me past the doorman at the entrance to Virginia’s apartment build ing, up in the elevator and so to her very door. I felt Pat and Virginia com ing close again. Their happiness seemed real—accomplished. / Then the maid admitted me to Vir ginia’s apartment. And the very first thing I did—did instinctively, without forethought or planning—was to stare over at the con sole table where the silver basket of crimson Jacqueminots with the tiny pale pink' “sweetheart roses" had stood the night before. PUSS IN BOOTS JR. — By Oavld Con-. One day as Pass was traveling along he saw a wonderful horse with great wings on either side of his back. So Puss stopped and called out, “Whoa there, you big Bird Horse!" And then Peg-a-sus, for that was his name, came over to Puss and said, “What do you wish, little traveler?” “I have never ridden on a winged steed. Won’t you taka me on your back?" "Not unless you have a golden bridle,” said the beautiful winged horse, and he flapped his great wings and pawed the earth with his golden hoofs. “Dear me," thought Puss, and he looked around to find the bridle of gold, but, of course, it w’as nowhere In sight. And then all of a sudden a lovely lady wnlked up and handed Puss the golden bridle. “Here It is, little cat," she said, “Put it on your horse and ride away." So Puss did 8s he was told, and then mount ing the wonderful animal. Hew away on his back through the blue heavens, and by and by they came to the top of a high mountain, where Peg-a sus had his stable. "Sit down, little cat, and I'll tell you a story about myself." So Puss sat down, and after the winged horse had given him a saucer of milk and had eaten a quart of oats, he folded his great golden wings close to his side and be *gan his story. “Once upon a time a young man tried to ride up to the country Os the Gods on my back, but the king of that starry land sent a great horsefly to sting me, and I then refused to fly further. So, remember, little Puss Junior, .never try to urge me to carry you into that far country." And then Peg-a-aus went over to a great rock and kicked It with his golden heels, and, all of a sudden, a stream of water gushed forth and he quenched Ills thirst, and after that he came back and stood by Puss Junior, who was so sur prised at what he had heard and seen that he could say nothing.

Anonymous, that basket of fragrance had been allowed to deck Virginia's liv ing room. Revealed as the gift of Pat Dalton It had been removed. But where was It? Had Virginia transported It tenderly to her own room —or had she flung It out of her home In high recentment of her husband’s dar ing? My own unspoken words startled me. Never before had I thought of Pat Dalton as Virginia’s husband. I’d Just accepted them vaguely as Pat and Vir ginia—two persons who ought to be to gether and were apart. The rustle of draperies In the hall made me drag my eyes away from their search of the room where Pat's gift had been denied a place. “Forgive me for keeping you waiting,’’ came Virginia's smooth tones from the hallway—and she followed close upon her words. "It's sweet of you to run In, Anne.” ' Perfectly meaningless, formal words. They might have behn addressed to a mere acquaintance. I tried to evade her chill influence.—Copyright, 1920. (To be Continued) And after a little while, the great wlngved horse said, “Come, little pussy, Cilmb on my back and we will go for a ride through the air.” So off they went, as fast as a comet, and by and by they , saw a man shearing a ram, whome fleece was of gold. So the winged horse flew down and Puss got off his hack and went up to the man. And Just then he finished and took | beautiful golden fleece and walked away. And when he came to a grove of 1 trees nearby he put It in a strong box und told the dragon, who lived In the grove, to keep watch over It. Now, this dragon never slept. Ho never closed his ejes, and so, of course, he was a won derful watchman. And in the next story i 111 tell you how n young man named Captain Jason took the golden fleece away from that terrible dragon."—Copy right, 1920. (To B© Continued.)
