JUDGE COLLINS must have forgotten for the moment that it Is no
longer popular to suspend sentences!
THE JEWETT-HOWE organ says there should be no secrets about
anybody who asks public office. How about family history?
AN UNUSUAL coincidence is revealed by the fire that destroyed the
laundry plant of a company headed by Mr. Washburn!
EVIDENCES of still further difference of opinion on the subject of
who should be mayor continues to accumulate at the office of the city clerk.
KEYSTONE AVENUE was not sufficiently guarded Sunday to prevent
at least one motorist from getting stuck Just north of the Millersville road!
GIPSY SMITH evidently intends that no one will be able to excuse his
failure to attend the revival with the plea that he could not obtain a ticket
CITY EMPLOYES have the constitutional right of voting for whom
they please, but the exercise of the right soon interferes with their em
ployment !
THERE can hardly be any doubt that the meetings which attract the
citizens of Indianapolis are not designated by two proper names viih a
hyphen.
AND OF COURSE, the preferred stockholders of ihe traction company
must have their dividends even if it is necassary for the company that "has
n< aredit” to borrow the money with which to pay them!
BEfORE LONG the public will be wondering Just which of Governor
McCray's announcements relative to paroles and pardons are to be re
garded as binding and which are merely for public consumption.
IT IS, of course, heinous for the school board to exercise its privilege
of consulting a lawyer other than one designated by a certain newspaper
that is peeved over Its loss of control of the board.
SIOO,OOO Saved!
Once again this community is indebted to the "recalcitrant- members
of the city council for saving them at least SIOO,OOO which the city ad
ministration wished to dissipate in unnecessary and, in fact, underslrable
remodelling of its department store, maintained under the name of a
"producers’ market.”
No doubt the members the administration, through their favorite
and servile organs of publicity, will point again to the refusal of these
couneilmen to sanction the waste of SIOO,OOO as a refusal prompted by
"sinister motives.” But whether they do or do not, the taxpayers of In
dianapolis will be SIOO,OOO ahead and the leeches who grow fat on such
unnecessary public expenditures will have to concoct some other method
of dipping into the city treasury.
Indianapolis needs reform in its city market. But the reform it needs
is not to be obtained by creating a more delightful place for the middlemen
to mulct the consumers of unreasonable profits.
The market house needs some improvements, but it does not need a
balcony restaurant, nor anew sewer to parallel the one the present ad
ministration be stopped up with standholders’ refuse.
The stands in the market need elevation from the level of the floor,
several of them, but it is not necesary to install new stands throughout in
. opder jo accomplish this improvement. v
The w’hole place needs a thorough cleaning and a complete repainting,
but a bond isue of $125,000 is far from necessary to accomplish this reno
vation.
We sincerely hope the city couneilmen who refused to allow the ad
ministration to waste SIOO,OOO in providing better accommodations for' its
pet commission men and traders will stand firm in their refusal.
Perhaps the next administration will be willing to lay down some rules
that will make the market a real meeting place between consumers and
producers. Then the taxpayers of Indianapolis will have the added ad
vantage of being able to buy in the city market at prices as low as in the
groceries of Indianapolis.
And the $125,000 that is was proposed to expend in pampering these
political market standholders can be used to provide the swimming pools
that have been so long promised. .
We’ Must Have Schools
Albert Baker, an attorney of the old "school'' and a gentleman of high
standing in Indianapolis, has signified his intention of retiring from the
position of legal advisor to the school board and it is understood that his
retirement meets with the approval of the majority of the members of
the school board, who have been unable to reconcile his views of their
duties with their own ideas of the necessity of improving the school hous
ing situation In Indianapolis.
It is, of course, unfortunate that the board is to lose the legal ability
of Mr. Baker, but the unfortunate situation is brought about through Mr.
Baker’s unwillingness to confine his activities in school matters to the
legal phases with which he has been paid to deal.
As not infrequently happens in a community of this kind, there is de
veloped a sharp cleavage between that class of estimable citizens who live
mere or less in the past and that class of citizens who look forward to the
future of a rapidly growing city.
In school board matters Mr. Baker is aligned, by reason of long asso
ciation, with the obstructionists, whose children are grown and who can
not become reconciled to the necessity for proper provision for the children
of a younger generation. Mr. Baker can see no wrong in the continuation
of contracts made years ago, even though they now work to the disad
vantage of the taxpayers of today. He is a warm friend of George C. Hitt,
under whose administration of the business affairs of the school board
ancient methods and discarded theories are costing the taxpayers thou
sands of dollars a year.
And for the reason that he cannot help a more modern element in the
school board make the schools of Indianapolis more modern, it is well that
he should sever his connection with the board.
We must have more modern schools in Indianapolis. We must con
duct the business of the school city along more modern lines.
And if it is necesary to separate from the schools every person who
belongs to the “old school’ in order that we may have a more modern
school system, then let that separation proceed.
The Privileged Class
The taxpayers of the city of Indianapolis pay at least $7,000 a year
for the maintenance of "humane officers,” whose business it is to prevent
cruelties to animals.
In addition, the dog owners of Indianapolis pay thousands of dollars
in license fees for the privilege of keeping their dogs free from molesta
tion by dog thieves. /
The money appears to be wasted in both instances.
For the humane officers have fallen under the direction of Dr. C. A.
Pfafflin, who prevents them from interfering with cruelty to animals by
members of his profession.
And the possession of a dog license is no guarantee that ones pet dog
will not be stolen by a procurer for the Indiana University School of Medi
cine.
It is indeed unfortunate that the officials of Indianapolis why are pre
sumed to be looking after the interests of the taxpayers can see no misuse
of taxpayers’ money in the maintenance of these two bureaus of Inactivity.
Their indifference makes one wonder how many other instances of inef
ficiency are contributing to the enormous total of more than eight million
dollars that is required to operate our city government.
In the matter of dogs we find the medical school Is privileged to prac
tice Its cruelties on dogs, to evade payment of State taxes on dogs it har
bors and to avoid the payment of the city license fee.
All this 1b in addition to thwarting the very purposes for whlph we
have humane officers. V

' Cory.
Now let me sec. Iu the story before
this the giant's wife was cabins Puss
and his friends, the pti{ gnd the little
bear and the monkey, to supper, wasn't
she? Well, you can easily imagine they
didn’t feel very hungry. They had lost
their appetites after hearing from the,
poll parrot what a wicked woman she
was, as I mentioned in the last story.
“Come on," said Puss, and he led the
way to the great dining hail, the giant
sat down at one. end of the table and his
wife at the other, and Puss sat on the
right hand of the giantess, and the lit
tle bear and the monkey sat somewhere
In between, l don't remember Just where.
Rut, anyway, the first tiling the giant
ess said was: "You must all drink a
little wine before you eat, for It will give
you a good appetite.’’ Rut Puss an
swered at once: “No, thank you, Mrs.
Giant. T.ittle. folks like us would rattier
have milk ” And then the giantess
looked very cross, for she had put some
sleeping powder In the wine, you see.
But pretty so on she told the. man servant
to bring a glass of milk for each of th-in.
and sbe winked at him at the same time,
“Ha, ha! my fine lady giant.’’ thought
Pugs to himself, “you don't catch me
drinking any milk.” and lie would have
tried to tell his little friends not to
drink any. but the giant a w ife never
took her eyes off him.
Well, in a few intnutes after drinking
the niiii. the little, bear and the monkey
fell fast asleep and the pig to-gan to j
wink and blink, and pretty soon he was
sound asleep, too.
“Sly. oh my! what ill-innnnered friends
you have," said the giant's wife, turning 1
to Puss “And your manners are not
what they should be, either. You ask
for milk and then you refuse to drink
it.’’ And wouldn't you suppose the big.
good-natured giant would have asked his
wife not to be so disagreeable? But he 1
didn't dare, for, although be was a giant,
he was afraid of his wife. Just like lots
of men are.
“Come, come Drink your milk,” said
the giantess quite crossly, hut instead of 1
doing what she asked. Puss stood upon
his feet and said:
“I'lnpt.v, dumpfy, diddledy oh.
There's something in the milk I know."
“What do you mean?” screamed that
wicked giantess, and she picked up a
big knife Rfid leaned over toward Puss
And as soon ns she did that he touched .
her with his magic limiting feather, and j
she turned into a statue.
“Ah.'' sighed the Giant, “she. wiil never I
nag me again " And then he took out
bis big pipe and Ailed it with tobacco,
and nfter that he lighted It with a big
torch and smoked away without saying
a word. And then he sighed again and
put his feet up on a chair and blew
smoke tings ns big as hoops into the air.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

faintly of five, living In a suburban

WEDNESDAY.
Auntie Belle made less complication
nt breakfast time by having her break
fast on a tray in her room according, to
Mrs. Hooper’s way of thinking, but
Henry always fussed about it.
“I don't see why Belle can’t come flown
to breakfast,” he growled as Helen
started up stairs with ttie tray on which
had been daintily arranged a grape fruit,
cereal, toast and coffee, "all that extra
bother for you in tho morning isn't right
Mary, I xvisli she could undersiand that."
"My dear,” laughed Mrs. Hooper, "that
tray looks like a luxury, because It is
a bit attractive and Belie quite loses
sight of the fact that her breakfast is
much more simple and meager than any
thing she has at home because she Is in
dulged by being waited on. Satisfying
her here at tlie table would be much
more difficult."
“But the trouble and time of arranging
it and carrying it up stairs Is what
I'm finding fault with,” complained
Henry.
"That only looks like trouble,” per
sisted Mrs. Hooper, "1 want Helen to
know how to serve a meal on a tray ar
tractively and this gives her a chance
to learn. She loves to wait on her Auntie
Belle who is fussy enough to find fault

IF you were to travel west ISO degrees, half-way around the world,
you would be directly north of the west line of Australia. Then
if you were to travei directly south nearly 100 degrees you would

were to repeat this to return home you would have traveled one and
one-half times the distance around tho world.
This is the trip that W. I). Boyce, owner of the Times, accompanied
by reporters, photographers and airplane pilots, has undertaken. And
Mr. Boyce’s articles, which have appeared from time to time, have been
followed with much interest by Times readers. The art accompanying
this article was taken by Mr. Boyce's photographers and depicts native
dancers of the Maoris, the original inhabitants of New Zealand. In an
article tomorrow* Mr. Boyce will tell of the present-day Maoris and also
will describe the dances that are pictured on this page today.

On the very dHy after he offered mo
that flrat, flying bird's-eye view of our
apartmont-to-be, Jim took the next de
termined step In his march forward and
upward. Early in the afternoon he called
l me on the phone and announced:
"Antie, I've Just had Tom on the wire
and told him that we're quitting him
as a landlord and taking him on as au

“I'm glad,” I replied with a panicky
[feeling, that Jim expected something of
me, and tnat 'I must try to approach the
mark, even if I couldn’t quite toe It.
"Tom baa been very dec. i.t about tlie

"He aure baa!" agreed Jim. heartily,
and I know I hid pleased him. "Now.

"Oh, Jim, i can do it myself! I don’t

“Do as I tell you!" rasped Jim's vole*.
| “Can't I make you understand that l
can afford the. things i suggest? What
I can't afford ia to argue about every

with that I had to content myself.

I was not willing to seek them merely
if everything isn’t ship-shape and the
discipline is good for Helen, besides,”
concluded Mrs. Hooper, "entertaining
Belle at breakfast is rather exhausting
and I'll be nearly finished my Ironing
before she comes down stairs now."
"Well if you look at it that way I
suppose you arc right,” agreed Henry
as he took the steaming cup of coffee
that Mary passed him, “but serving peo
ple meals on trays always seemed to me
the last word in extra labor.”
“On th contrary,’* said Mrs. Hooper,
"it Is a great time saver If I bad a house
full of company I’d send every one of
them their breakfasts on a tray and
serve iny own family in the usual way.
