PRAISES CITY’S
WAY OF PICTURE
FILM HANDLING
Miss Connoly, Expert on Edu
cational Movies, Says
Method Here Sane.
INDORSERS HEAR TALKS
“Indlanapali* people are foremost lu
the sanity of their treatment of the mo
tion picture,” declared Miss Louisa M.
Connoly, education expert of Newark, N.
J., in her talk on -Indorsement Versus
Censorship.” at the luncheon given to
day in the Riley room of the Claypool
Hotel, as tho closing session of the con
vention of the Indiana Indorsers of
Photoplay.
“The indorsers here handle the picture
in a Quiet satisfactory manner. There
is no better criticism of a photoplay than
that of the audience itself, an American
audience, I might say. No small group
of educators-can tell the people what
they like and what they don't like. The
American “movie goer” likes the best
films whether a professor In a college
' or a cash girl in a department store. The
natural impulse of Americans is to get
the best in every line. Just as the sac
■ tory girl wears silk hose because her
employer's daughter wears them, she
also wishes to see good clean pictures
because the same college-bred daughter
likes them. I have such faith in the
American public that I do not think that
any theater can succeed If it does not
cooperate with such Indorsers as there
nre here in Indianapolis, where the In
dorsers are of the p*ple and go with
the audience to see the films instead of
by private showing.
DOES NOT APPROVE
OF PRIVATE EXHIBITS.
“I do not approve of private exhibits of
pictures before the film is given to th
public of a city. If the film is a bad
film the people will express their disap
proval of it or of certain scenes, which.
If cut, would render the picture good.
And from the audience the censors can
get the proper viewpoint and notify the
exhibitor as to what should be cut.”
Miss Connolly told of her work as a
member of the National Board of Reviews.
She told of how the producer brings his
film to the board and calls committees
from among the educators and interested
folk of the city to edit the production
Just as a book is edited. Scenes are
sometimes changed or cut out.
“However." she said, “if the producer
does not wish to make tho changes sug
gested, feels that they are un esessary.
he can appeal to the board and anew
committee may be called. In the case of
a picture being fiat'y turned down by a
commitee the producer often calls for a
new hearing with a different committee
If It is a valuable film that he feels will
be accepted by the public."
CONSISTED
FREQUENTLY.
Miss Connolly is consulted by people
all over the eonntry oeneerning various
films, as to their suitability along educa
tional lines in many eases, or tbe kind of
plays for children, whether certain scenes
should be cut out, and thousands of other
questions.
The luncheon program was opened by
a few words of greeting by Mrs. Chic
Jackson, Governor Warren T. McCray.
Mayor Charles W. Jewett and E. U. Graff,
Superintendent of schools. Mrs. Freida
Steinmnn, vocalist, sang a group of num
bers. An interesting feature of the after
noon was the showing of a historic coat,
the story of which was told by Mrs.
Theodore Wagner. The coat is the prop
erty of Frank Rembusch of Hhelbyvllle
and was worn today by Miss Maxine
Rembusch. R. G. Tucker talked on
“Some Picture,” which concluded tha
program.
FUTURES WITH
ROTS IN FRANCE.
At the morning session an interesting
talk on “Pictures With Our Boys in
France," was given by Frank T. Pay. in
which he stated that one of tho dan
gerous and most insidious of German
propaganda was the exhibition of Ger
man made films in the United States,
mentioning as an example a film shown
recently in the United States, and tell
ing of two more in the making, in which
the French are caricatured and slyly
ridiculed. He also declared that motion
pictures are not responsible for the
wave of crime sweeping over the county.
“During the war," he said, “there were
many court-martials nd many crimes,
but none of the culprits gave the 'seeing
of a movie' as an excuse, as they are
doing in the United States now. It is
ridiculous that seeing a picture could
move a man to commit a murder or
other crimes. There is motive back of
It, not a picture.”
Other speakers nt the session included
Mrs. S. M. Grimes of Brazil. It. G. Ilessel
denz of Indianapolis and Dr. Edna Hat
field Edmondson of Bloomington.

would make the total cost about 9 cents
per gallon.
“In November, 1919, the Indian Refin
ing Company entered into a contract
with the city of Indianapolis to furnish
the same quality of road oil at 5.09
cents per gallon. The Impression seemed
to prevail that the Indian Refining Com
pany had taken the oil furnished Marion
County from oil shipped to the city on
the contract of 5.09 cents per gal'.on, but
Dwight L. Ritter, city purchasing agent,
informs me that the oil was not taken
from the city but was shipped from the
reflne<ry to the county.
“The difference In price between the
oil sold to the city and that sold to
the county is accounted for by reason
of the fact that the price of crude oil
in November, 1919, was only $2.18 a bar
rel. which would enable the company
to sell the manufactured product at 5.C0
cents a gallon.
“The sales manager of the Indian Re
fining Company insisted that the price of
13Va cents a gallon charged Marion Coun
ty was reasonable and was the com
pany’s standard price; however, I am not
inclined to recommend a higher price
than that bid by the Texas Company for
a like product, which was 9 cents per
gallon. Neither was Auditor Fesler In
clined to draw a warrant In payment for
% the claim for the oil at a greater price.
Therefore, I made the recommendation
that 9 cents per gallon be allowed for
tbe oil, which recommendation was ac
cepted by the Indian Refining Company,
and Auditor Fesler issued the warrant
in payment thereof.”

M’CRAY PARDONS
BLEIWEISS; TAKES
GOODRICH CUE
(Continued From Page On®.)
Collins refrained from ordering Blelweiss
to begin serving his sentence nfter it was
aifirined by the State Supreme Court be
cause Mr. Ralston was "out of the city."
On Jan. 4, 1921, Blelweiss was sent to
Jail, according to the Jail officials, and
after he was in for a few hours, former
Governor Ralston landed on the scene
with a ninety-day reprieve issued by
the former pardouing governor, James i\
Goodrich.
REPORT SAYS lI E
SERVED ONE DAY.
The report of the State Board of Pard
ons states that Blew else served only
one day in jail, this being in January
of this year. The report also refers to
the conference in, the Governors office.
In this connection the report says:
“Mr. Blelweiss appeared before ns
in person on Mareli 19, 1921, as he
did at the further hearing in the
matter April 2, 1921, In tli® office of
Your Excellency.”
The report said that Alvah J. Rucker,
who was prosecutor when the case was
tried, told the board that there was no
possibility of obtaining a conviction for
manslaughter nnd that for this reason
Blelweiss was tried 0) r assault and
battery.
It also stated that Judge Coßins tobl
the board he believed the best interests
of society would be served by the grant
ing of executive clemency.
DOESN'T ADIIER TO
ORIGINAL INTENTION.
Governor McCray Is not adhering
strictly to his announced Intention
to grant no personal clemency but to
turn all cases over to the State board
of pardons, records In his office show.
The records also show that temporary
paroles which helped to make the Good
rich administration notorious, are still
being handed out.
The books in the office of the Gover
nor show thirty cases of executive
clemency during the first two months or
tbe present administration. Os these
only nine were recommended by the
pardon beard. This Hat also includes
four temporary paroles.
In addition to this number a report of
■ the pardon board disposing of nearly
one hundred eases has been filed in the
; Governor's office. Employes In the of
fice are refusing to make the report pub
' lie until the Governor has gone over It.
This Is the first time that a report of
the pardon board hag not become public
property as soon as it has been filed.
DENNIS BUSH CASE

mendation in the case of Dennis J. Bush,
who Is serving a term on the State farm

so-called “good government” city or
ganization have been laboring. The board
has recommended that Bush be required
to serve out all his four months’ sen
tence, hut that SSOO of his S9OO fine be
remitted.
SIIOYVS TENDENCY
TO REPRIEVES.
The books in the office of the Governor
show that he is running strong to re
prieves. Instead of permitting persons
convicted to-start serving their terms he
has been their releases uutil
the pardon board can act In tbeir cases.
It Is understood the pardon board, de
spite the Governor's attitude, is objecting
to taking of cases of persons who have
never served a day of their terms.
The records show that five reprieves
were granted during the two months.
The reprieves were granted to the fol
lowing:

“STOP PLAYING, LIVE
YOUR RELIGION.”
Calling on the citizens of Indianapolis
i and of the State to “stop playing with re
ligion but live It.” Gipsy Smith, the Eng
lsh avangeiist, last night preached a ser
mon devoted to serious thought and an
earnest invitation for a “consecration for
Jesus which will shake the entire State” j
that paves the way for his master ser- j
mons which will be preached on Thurs- !
day and Friday nights at the tabgrnacle.
The Gipsy on Thursday night will take
as his subject, "Three and a Half Years
with the Boys in Flanders," and on Fri- i
day night he will deliver what is said to
be his greatest sermon, “From a Gipsy |
Tent to the Pulpit.”
“In one city where I had delivered the
story of my life, two women were talking
loudly concerning whether I was a gipsy ;
or not,” said the evangelist. “One said.
'Of course not, he is not a gipsy. He is
a gentleman.' Let me tell you my peo- !
pie are gentlemen. No more now, Just ;
come and hear me tell you about it Fri
day night.”
The evangelist last night took as his
text some of the verses from the epistle
of Peter. He divided his sermon into
three parts ? Partakers of the divine na
ture, partakers of the divine suffering
and partakers of the divine glory.
At times the noted evangelist seemed to
forget that he was preaching from a
pupit, but acted as if he were talking
face to face With every man and woman
in tho big audience which crowded the
tabernacle as it bns never been taxed
before. Hundreds of people remained on
the outside. Borne climbed up to the
windows and looked in during the long
est sermon which the evangelist has de
livered so fur in this city. His earnest
ness seemed to grip his audience, and
before he lifted his hands in final bene
diction. hundreds of men and women had
publicly proclaimed Christ.
After reading his text and dividing
his sermon into three parts, the Gipsy
said : ‘‘There is music in this text. I
know how preachers feel when they get
a fat text. It makes their mouths water.
This epistle Is very concise and it can
be read after you go home tonight. Oh. ;
the wonderful power of meaning which j
Peter has placed in this epistle.
SEW TESTAMENT
RELIGION BIG.
“Hear be. Hear me, Indianapolis. If
you read the epistle of Peter you will I
come to realize that the New Testament
religion is a very big thing, fnr bigger
than any of you have ever dreamed.
“I was converted under the old act,
under the old method when people left
something on the outside of the church j
when they went In and at a time when j
they left something inside when they left
the church.
“I could not rend when I was con- |
terted. My mind wns like the virgin soil j
and 't took many impressions. The
preachers In those days preached, studied ,
and prayed and lived their lives for only >
one thing- the conviction and conversion.)
“The leaders of the churches in those j
days were supporting and cooperating |
with their preachers. If no one wns con !
verted on a Sunday night, the leaders and !
the ministers were disappointed. AH
were on the lookout for conversions.
“We had conversions in those days be- !
cause the preachers preached that sin i
was alienation from Christ. We talked of
the conviction of sin. We talked of wit
nessing the spirit.
“Now I ask If we ever question whether
he 'got through?' 'Has he been saved?'
STANDARD
LOWERED.
“Who Is to blarne, I ask you?" hurled
the evangelist In a defiant manner Into
the face of his audience.
“The preachers," yelled someone Id
the audience.
Gipsy ran to the front of the pulpit,
leaned over and shook a finger at the ;
man placing the blame on the preachers
and cried: “No. I take Issue with you.)
Because you have lowered, demanded a j
lower standard. That's the trouble." j
“I am one of them. I am a preacher." ‘
said the voice lif the audience.
"Then don't you dare lower the stand- i
ard.” cried the evangelist. “I have said j
before from this very platform that I j
would rather lose my soul than to lower
the standard to satisfy my own short
comings.
“In those days we made It difficult to
get into the church. It was a conflict to
get In. It meant coming out of the world
It meant giving up the old things and |
taking on the new.
“In those days it meant no compromise
with the devil or the flesh. As long as
the New Testament Is God’s word I am
going to preach It. Tt Is no longer a
eonfllrt to get into the church, ft is i
social, a picnic, an entertainment. You
come up and shake hands and write your
name on the church roll.
MEETS NEW WAT
WITH PROTEST.
“I say that that nnd that only is
prostitution of my Lord's plan of re
demption. I protest against that sort
of thing. I could make you a mem
ber of a religious community. I could
lift up my two hands— have'
worked on five continents in the name of
the Lord —I could place those two hands
on your head and call it confirmation.
I tell you that it takes the Holy Ghost
to make you a child of God.” cried Gipsy
Smith, as he paused for breath.
“You must be a partaker of the divine
nature,” he said softly. “Until you have
done that you nre a hypocrite if you
call yourself a Christian. A carnation
is beautiful but it isn't a rose. A rose
is glorious but it isn't a lily. A mountain
is glorious but It isn't a continent. Y’ou
may be a very moral man or woman but
you must be born again to be a Chris
tian.
“1 tell you It is a mighty big thing
to be a Christian.
“Christ died for me. I am crucified
with Christ. Christ lived in me. That
Is what Paul said. That Is religion.
Have you got that far?
..“You will never be a Christian until
you get anew heart. Those who live In
the flesh can not please God. That’s the
teaching of the New Testament. It is the
heart work that counts.
MANY HAVE
JAZZ RELIGION.
“Where do you stand. Be honest with
God and yourself. You will never get
on with Jesus until you are honest with
Him. You must be a partaker of the
divine suffering. The majority of the
people I know have a giggling religion,
a jazz religion. No eross, no tears, no
burdens and no sacrifice, V
“Listen to me. The very heart of re
ligion Is to save men and women from
selfishness. You think only of saving
yotir skin. How many are willing to
sacrifice with God?”"*
Tenderly the evangelist said in a whis
per, “Jesus is still a lonely Christ. There
are very few people who understand
Jesus.
“You can talk of parties, clothes, fash
ions. movies, theaters and everything
else, but do you talk Jesus with your
neighbor? If He Is your best friend,
why can't you say a few words about
him to your neighbor. When people do
not talk religion, they don’t have any.”
Drawing himself to his full height,
the Gipsy put this question, “Do you
know what it is to be exhausted, so
tired at night for doing things for Him?
Many a night during this campaign here
and after leaving this very platform, I
have been so tired that I couldn’t kneel
down by the side of my bed in prayer.
I have Just thrown myself down on the
tyed and, lifting up my eyes, whispered.
‘Good night, blessed Jesus. Good night,
Mlwter. We are still on the same old
terms. Good night, blessed Jesus.’ Have
youVver been that way?

Texas Twister Tears
Up Houses in Path
FT. WORTH. Texas. April 6.—Reports
reached here today thnt a cyclone at
Clarendon. Texas, had torn eeverdl houses
from their foundation.
All telephone and telegraph circuits in
that section were carried out by a storm
and it was Impossible to learn from here
whether there had been lowa of life or the
extent of damage from the twister.
It Is true that the people of this
city are very enthusiastic about Pop
gen hut they are no more enthusias
tic than the people of Louisville, Ky ,
and other places where Pepgen has
been introduced.
Pat McGarahan, the engineer in
this story, lives at 2336 Osage street,
Louisville. Ftfil particulars of his ex
perience follow:
“I had kidney and bladder trou
ble for twenty years,” says Mr. Mc-
Garahan. “My kidneys were irreg
ular in action and I had acute pains.
My back also gave me a lot of trou
ble. I didn’t have much appetite and
I had become weakeAd.
“My wife also had stomach trouble.
She suffered a lot from gas forma
tions. She ached all over. Her blood
circulation was poor and sometimes
the muscles in her limbs ached so
that she could not straighten them
out. She would get very cold.
“Pepgen has been remarkably ben
eficial to both of us. It eliminated
my wife's stomach trouble and built
her up in every way. She no longer
has aches and her limbs do not
stiffen as they used to. She gets
good, sound sleep at night.
“Pepgen increased my appetite. It
stopped the pains in my back. It
regulated the action of my kidneys.
I have gained seventeen pounds.
“The relief my wife and I have had
from Pepgen is worth more than all
of the money I make in a year.”

SHIP OWNERS
PLAN WAGE CUT
Strike Anticipated if Order Is
Carried Out.
BOSTON, April Capt. Eugene C.
O’Donnell, chairman of thy wage scale
committee of the American Shipowners'
Association, today announced his commit
tee had decided on drastic wage cuts
which would bring the pay of men in
the American Merchant Marine to a low
er figure than that of men in the British
merchant service.
This wage report will be submitted to
the ship owners of the country at a
meeting in New York Friday. It is b
ileved here that the new scale, designed
to go into effect May 1, will bring on a
strike of the AO,OOO men in the American
Merchant Marine.
American ship owners, on the other
hand, say the men will have to accept
wage cutting. If the unions make a
fight, union officials anticipated the own
ers will try to institute the open shop.
Captain O'Donnell’s (Committee has
agreed on the folloivfng cuts: Seamen,
from SBS a month to SBO (British seamen
get S7O a month); firemen, from S9O a
month to $87.50.; oilers, from $95 a month
to S7O; mess men and cooks from S7O
to $55.
Captain O’Donnell pointed out that
American ships paying high wages were
forced to compete with Japanese ships
payng 31 cents a day and Norwegian and
other vessels paying not much more. He
said that the British ship owners un
doubtedly would lower wages as soon
as the present agreement with the unions
expired.

dations for the care of disabled veterans
of the World War were agreed upon

1. Centralization of authority over
soldier relief.
2. Decentralization of administra
tion.
3. Appropriation of additional
funds for a permanent hospitaliza
tion program.
These three points were regarded as
essential by the American Legion repre
sentatives on the committee and agree
ment between them and other members
of the Investigating body was hailed as
a long step toward completion of their
work.
The agreement was reached In an un
official conference between General
Dawes, Col. F. W. Galbraith, national
eomt.uander of the American Legion, and
heads of bureaus which are charged
with the care of disabled veterans.

assistM nature before ii.ll>' > coinin'!,
IT is natural to think of the ex
pectant mother’s influence up
on the unborn babe. Her
food, her habits, her hygiene, and
even the condition of her mind,
all have a part in determining the
well-being or ill-being of her in
fant before birth.
No woman awaiting the j’oys of
coming motherhood should allow
the days to pass without giving
nature a helping hand —because
the conditions of pending mother
hood, existing as they do, over a
protracted period of months, cre
ate almost anew state of being
for a woman.

SHORT SKIRT IS
‘DISGUSTING ’ TO
MEN—MISS ALICE
*.Lady From Oklahoma? Dis
cusses Styles and Cigarette
Fad and the ‘Wife Ideal.*
By MILDRED MORRIS,
International News Service Staff Corre
spondent.
WASHINGTON, April 6 Alice Rob
ertson, Oklahoma’s woman member of
Congress, today gave her impressions of
“the cigarette smoking women of the
j East,” with their rouge and knee skirts.
When It was suggested that they
proved a “bit of a shock” to a citizen of
the cow country, she said calmly.
“You can see plenty of women in the
South-west with rouge and skirts shorter
than they ought to be. Some of them
use even more rouge than the women in
Washington and New York. The people
out there are not going to let the East
get ahead of them in anything If they
can heln it.
"If t.ne up-to-date skirt had more
width and a little more length it would
be sensible.
“I don't call these extreme styles, with
the bodice cut too low and the skirt
too high, immoral. If they were im
moral they would attract the men, but
they don't. They disgust men. Women
dress that way, not to attract the men,
but to get ahead of one another.
“Maybe you’ve noticed that it's the
women with the scrawniest necks and
legs who wear the lowest waists aud
shortest skirts,” observed the "lady froni
Oklahoma."
“The first time I saw women smoking
was in New York while I was staying
at the Neal Arts Club. It was Inter
esting. If wortien want to smoke, that’s
! their business. They don’t hurt any one
but themselves. The men think It's dls-
I guftlng.
Kitting hack in a comfortable chair in
I her office in the capltol, Miss Alice, wno
gives promise of being as popular in
Washington as in her home town, Mus
! kogee, gave advice to wives, described
! the woman lobbyist ns "something to be
: pitied,” voiced disapproval of the League
1 of Women Voters and declared the Shep
herd-Towner maternity bill "bolshevistic”
in some of its features. -
! “The wife is usually to blarne when
the home is unhappy,” she said. "May
be she cooks badly or goes around in a
soiled kimono Instead of dressing up and
looking as pretty as she used to be.
I “Courtship is like hunting or fishing
After the game is caught the zest is
gone. The woman maaes the environment
of the home and it's up to her to hold
the Interest of the man.
"The dangerous time comes when the
man begins to acquire money. When
he fakes a trip the wife who is wise
leaves the children with someone else
nnd trots along with him. She keeps
up her complexion and dresses as at
tractively as possible, so he won't go
trotting after some pretty girl on the
outside."
“I represent the conservative woman
who would rather cook a good meal than
meddle with politics," she snld.
"The average woman in the United
States wasn't interested in politics until
she got t?ie vote. The average woman
didn’t care anything about the vote. If
she had. she'd have got it long before
she did.
"I don't believe in antagonizing the
men. The League of Woman Voters, In
effect, says that if the men who make
our laws will not make the kind of laws
they want, they will throw stones at
them, acting like children and call them
names."
"I am opposed to the Shepherd-Towner
bill. It has paternalistic features which
are bolshevistic and I think it is faulty
in construction. It would create many
jobs for women and give them powers
they may not be qualified to fill.
“I don't want any one to think that
I’m not loyal to women. I'm a woman’s
woman, but now It's a 50-50 proposition
with me. I wns elected to represent both
the men and women of Oklahoma."
Asked what she planned to “do” to
her male colleagues in Congress, Miss
Alice answered with a twinkle:
“Well, I don’t Intend to feed them soup
or talk them to death.”

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
A prominent physician says that by
far the largest number of women’s ail

are not caused by serious displacements,

simpler conditions. We therefore urge
every woman who suffers from backache,
headaches, bearing down pains, side ache,
Irregularities, nervous despondency, oz
weakness to give Lydia E. PlnkhaqjJ*'*

a natural restorative and often prevent*
