THOSE silent policemen which have been the subject of so much
sarcasm are not so likely to hand out an artistic line of cussin’.
“WE WILL NEVER enter the- league,” Harvey tells the world. You
remember some folk used to .say the country would never go dry.
THOSE barbed wire entanglements around the training camp of Car
pentier must remind Mr. Jack Dempsey of the-battlefront in France that
he read about.
AS WE read of the usual week-end round-un of blind tiger operators
and plain and fancy drunks, we are led to wonder whether prohibition will
ever come back.
THAT WAS poor stage management which omitted the “big black
cigar” from Mr. Barney Oldfield’s latest photo. Or is the anti-tobacco
movement really gaining ground ?
COMING ON the heels of the winning of the tri-State debate by Short
ridge, Manual's clean-up in the State track and field meet is but additional
proof that our boys are running true to form.
THE FIX in which the local Republican organization finds itself through
the nomination of Shank can onl/ he compared with the situation that
would have resulted from the nomination of Howe.
A MAN fainted in a telephone booth in a local hotel yesterday. The ex
cessive heat was the cause, said the house it might have
been caused by the operator giving him the right number.
CANDIDATES for mayoralty honors —successful or unsuccessful —in

expense accounts the price of one round-trip ticket to Washington, D. C.
The Howe Campaign Fund
Those business men of Indianapolis who contributed liberally to the
Howe for mayor campaign fund In the last primary will no doubt be con
siderably interested by the revelations of the manner in which their con
tributions were distributed by the Jewett organization that managed the
campaign.
Almost there Is grounds for action against the solicitors, for the report
discloses that while the money was contributed for the purpose of bring
ing abont a better government of Indianapolis, it was distributed for the
purpose of holding intact an organization that experience has proved is in
capable either of giving a good administration of the city or of winning a
primary.
Os the contributions to the Howe fund no criticism can be offered.
They were numerous and liberal and provided almost as much money as
Governor McCray found it necessary to expend in a State-wide primary.
The money came from men who had it to give and gave it willingly, in
order to promote what they felt was the best interests of the city.
Os the distributions, much might be said in criticism. It does not ap
pear that the machine was nearly as much interested in promoting the
candidacy of Mr. Thomas C. Howe as it was in giving “the boys” a taste
of the bacon.
Seven hundred “messengers” were employed for some unknown tasks.
More than five hundred payments were made for “organization work,” and
such well-known law violators as Louis Brown and Rufe Page were “cut
in” for their share of the spoils. “Three Star Hennessey,” known as the
business agent of the bootleggers’ union, was not overlooked in the dis
tribution.
To one who is at all famHiar with the inside of the Jewett administra
tion, it is apparent that the managers of the Howe campaign fund col
lected from citizens who really wanted good government an enormous sum
of money to be paid to citizens whose activity in behalf of any candidate
is evidence of anything except good government.
More than a dollar a vote is entirely too much money to be spent in
any primary race. Especially is this true of a municipal primary, where
no traveling expenses are involved.
The Howe report demonstrates very plainly that in addition to being
a failure .the Howe campaign was a very radical departure from the high
ideals with which it was sought to cloak it
Tax Board Awakens!
The action cf the State board in reducing the assesment of the street
car company is a step In the right direction and we sincerely hope marks
the end of a period of official hypocrisy which has done much harm to the
traveling public.
In the days when it was popular to “soak'’ the street car company, a
group of politicians, led by Leo K. Fesler, sought to curry popular favor by
boosting the tax valuation of local utilities.
Through avenues of publicity that are generally open to such schemes
they suceeded in making it appear desirable to shift an undue proportion
of the tax burden to the shoulders of the utilities of Indianapolis.
Taxes, cf course, are regarded by the public service commission as
operating expenses and the commission is bound by law to provide a suf
ficient revenue for the utilities to meet the increased taxes. Therefore,
what these popularity seekers actually accomplished was the shifting of
taxes from the shoulders of the general taxpayers to the shoulders of that
part of the taxpayers that patronize the utilities.
In the case of the street car company higher taxes was the straw that
broke the camel’s back and compelled a fare of more than 5 cents.
The amount of money collected for taxes from the street car patrons
would not have been noticeable had it been collected from all the taxpay
ers. But when it was saddled exclusively on the street car patrons It in
creased the fares and made the going hard for both the company and the
traveling public.
It begins now to look like the general public was awakening to the
fact that increasing the burdens of the street car company only increases
the burdens of the street car rider.
Whenever the governmental agencies take sufficient of the burdens
which would never have been imposed upon It, from the back of the street
car company, the company will be able to function properly. Until they
do, Indianapolis will wait for street car improvements and pay ever in
creasing street car fares.
It is refreshing to find that at last one governmental body has come
to a realization that the street car company is not possessed of an inex
haustible treasury and that its only source of money for the meeting of
such obligations as axe imposed upon it is the revenue it collects from its
patrons.
That Reformatory Site
• In their efforts to reconcile the differences of opinion that have been
expressed relative to the relocation of the State reformatory, State of
ficials appear to be overlooking the one real reason foi; the removal of
that Institution from Jeffersonville.
When it was first proposed to abandon Jeffersonville as a reformatory
site it was argued that the reformatory could be located at the site of the
penal farm near Greencastle with a very small outlay and the two institu
tions could be made to function alongside each other at exceptionally small
cost of operation.
Accordingly, the Legislature passed an act to bring about the removal
of the reformatory to a site adjacent to the penal farm, and appropriated
relatively a small sum for that purpose with the understanding that the
institution could be relocated at low cost.
Now, there is opposition to the proposed new site and there seems to
be a doubt in the minds of State officials as to the advisability ofjoc&ttng
the reformatory in the vicinity of the penal farm.
If the State reformatory is not to be located adjacent to the penal
farm and operated in connection therewith it should not be removed from
For any other location of it simply defeats the object of
moving it
And this day of high taxes and tremendous governmental expenses is
no time In which to let the State in for a project that will involve a big
ouUay and insure no reduction in operating costs.
WASHBURN PREFERS TO BE A DADDY
Than a Mere Unmarried Matinee Idol
By WALTER D. HICKMAN.
Bryant Washtura, was “interviewed 1 ’
last night, but the strange thing about
it he doesn’t know that he was.
I went over to the Circle last night
at 7:20 o’clock for the purpose of having
a chat with Mr. Washburn.
Yours truly landed at the Circle Just
as Mr. Washburn walked on to the stage
to taUk to the patrons in the big theater.
I walked down to a seat near the stage
to hear what the actor had to say. After
he was through I thought I would go
back stage and see him as he “actually”
is.
But here is the joke that was pulled
on me—l didn’t have to go back stage
to see the real Washburn. He was right
there with no frills or false pretenses,
but a man with a strong voice, a real
smile (not one of those fake affairs) and
a way about him which makes one glad
to be near him.
So many times I have found actors so
different on the stage than they were
in private life. Mr. Washburn gives the
impression that he is real, and he proves
it.
“Some years ago the picture managers
thought that the actor had to stay single
in* order to attract the girls,” he told
the audience last night. “That was a
ridiculous idea. Some years ago when I
married Mrs, Washburn, we announced
It. The magazines and some of the pa
per* used our pictures and the like. When
Sonny came some ago, we an
nounced that also and when our Cali
fornia product. Buddy, arrived, we told
all the people about that.
“And let me tell you that my proudest
asset is my family. I tell you I get
more pleasure piuying with those kids
of mine in my back yard out in Cali
fornia than I do anything else. Actors
are just human beings and Just like
anybody else.
“Some weeks started this little
trip and a few days ago I became so
lonesome that I sent a night letter west
and yesterday Mrs. Washburn arrived
in Indianapolis. I am just an old mar
ried man with a wife and two kids.
“There isn’t mnch romance to an old
married man anyway," the actor said
with a smile.
Now if that Isn't real talk from a real
man, I never have heard it before. Wash
bum Just talks and before one knows it
you get the feelin’ that he must be a
Honsler.
Mr. Washburn stated that bie latest
picture, “The Road to London," which
is now on view at the Circle, la his first
attempt at producing hia own picturea.
“Last year I made ten pictures in
eleven months. That's too many pic
tures.” confessed Mr. Washburn. ”1 in
tend to make fewer and better pictures ”
KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS
(The Hoopers, an average American
family of five, living lu a suburban
town, on a limited income, will tell
the readers of the Dally Time* how
the nany present-day problems of the
hopie are solved by v. orkiag on the
budget that Mrs Hooper has evolved
and found practical. Follow them
dally n an interesting review of their
home life and learn to meet the con
ditions of the high tost of living
with them.)
WEDNESDAY.
“With the excitement of reports on
the washing machine iast night, I forgot
to tell yr u that I have a present for you,
Mary, to add to your kitchen equipment,”
said Henry, as he came into the dining
room, taking a small black box from
his pocket.
' T*h, another present, mother!” ex
claim-',] Helen, excitedly. “What is It?
I wish it wasn’t for the kitchen. Every
thin"- seems to go into the kitchen these
daye.”
• Why, Helen, I don’t see how you can
s-iy that,” remarked her mother in a
surprised tone. “Is there something you
v-ant for your room?"
“Oh, no," replied Helen, “but I wish
've had a Victroia likp the Briggs have
It plays such lovply dance music and
Alice says it doesn’t cost as much as
a washing machine does."
“Helen,” began Mrs. Hooper, wam
ingly.
“Oh. I forgot, mother! I’m aorry,” In
terrupted Helen, hastily.
"In the meantime, don’t you want to
know what is in the box?" asked Henry
as he pulled his chair up to the table.
"I certainly do,” said Mrs. Hooper
standing at his elbow as he lifted the
cover.
“Knives!” exclaimed Roger, who was
looking over his shoulder. “Whatever
are they for?”
"Where did you get them, Henry?”
asked Mrs. Iloopex examining the four
services hie-looking' knives with neat
small black wooden bandies. “They are
tile best-looking kitchen tools I’ve seen
in a long time."
“That’s what the man in the office
said who gave them to me,” answered
Henry. “They were a sample of a line
of goods that he used to §>*ll before the
war and he has had them for a long
time In bis desk. He had no use for
them and when he was cleaning out yes
terday tie gave them to ine. He said my
wife would be sure to appreciate them
if I didn’t”
“That I certainly will,’ said Mrs.
Hooper as she carried them with her to
her seat at the table. “Most kitchen
knives have no quality or temper and
they only cut for a short time. These
are a nice length, too—about seven
inches. There is one with a tapering
cutting edge, one with a perfectly
straight-cutting edge, one with a sharp,
long, narrow point that is just the thing
to remove the divisions of an orange or
separate meat from the bone and a grape
fruit knife with a thin, double edged
curved blade to fit the curve of the fruit
and with a bjjjnt end to purevent put
ting a hole in the rind or hurting the
hand.”
“I’ll tell Smith how much yon liked
them,” said Henry as he prepared Betty’s
cereal for which sic \vas clamoring.
"They are perfectly splendid!" ex
claimed Mrs. Hooper delightedly. I
didn't have a decent knife in the kitchen
to do anything with. I must tel! the
bride about this compact little set, be
cause I don’t know anything that will
give her more comfort in her work than
the right kind of knives.”
In the afternoon when the bride came
in to tea she remembered to tell her and
showed her the price mark, which was
$2 at any hardware store.
“I want to consult you about stock
ing my pantry shelf," said the bride,
after she had exclaimed over the merits
of the new tea table that Helen rolled
in from the dining room “I want to
have a reserve supply in the house to
bigin with and then I can replace one
thing at a time as they run out.”
“Is it that yotr don't know what to
start with?” inquired Mrs. Hooper.
“Oh, I know some things that 1 must
have, like flour and sugar and tea. but
I want to plan a pantry shelf like yours
that will be complete.”
“Well, come out to the kitchen and
I’ll show you what I keep on it always
on hand. Every Monday I run througn
it and buy what is running low. In
that way I never run out of certain
things.” \
"I'll just copy them down ns you calr
them off,” said the bride, taking a lit
tie notebook from her baag as they stood
before Mrs. Hooper's neatly arranged
pantry shelf. v
“Well, there are 5 pounds of granu
lated sugar, 1 pound brown sugar, 1
pound of tea, 1 point of coffee, I pound
baking powder. 2 pounds of butter, 3
pounds of lard, 25 pounds of flour. 3
pounds of oatmeal, 1 pound hominy, 3
pounds of rice. 1 package cornstarch, 1
package tapioca, 1 pound macarfini, 1
quart molasses, 1 dozen eggs, 8 lemons
and two kinds of uncooked ccratrl.
INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1921.
MR. BRYANT WABIIBYRN.
■ You Jnst can’t help liking Bryant
Washburn. There appears to be no sham
about him and when he talks about his
children you feel proud of the fact that
he is a real daddy.
“Now, Sonnj* is the toughest lad in
town aud when he has one black eye.
the other feller has two,” the proud
father told the Circle audience last night.
That is Bryant Washburn as he really
it. The man who made you laugh in
"Skinner’s Dress Suit,” "The Six Best
Cellars” and other clean comedies, is as
real an the wholesome comedy he reflects
on the screen.
So you see I didn't have to go back stage
at the Circle last night to discover the
real Bryant Washburn because the real
article was right out in front of the
public.
Mr. Washburn and his wife are at the
Circle this week and both are personally
meeting the patrons of this house.
They are real people. Meet ’em.

BEWARE! LOOPER
IS AT HIS WORK
Special Service Tells How to
Combat Enemy of
Trees.
The pesky “looper” or “measuring
worm,” more properly named the “Spring
Canker worm,” is at his job of destroy
ing Indianapolis trees and many wor
ried property owners are calling the
special service of the city park depart
ment every day for advice as to how to
cope with the insset. George E. Mor
gan, head of the service, Issued a bulle
tin upon how to combat the pest, as fol
lows:
"Quite a few calls have been made of
late relative to the Spring Canker worm
that has been feeding upon linden, elm,
maple, ash, apple and other trees about
the city generally. This pest, commonly
tolled ‘looper’ or ‘measuring worm,’
oftentimes does considerable damage be
fore apprehended if means of eradica
tion are not taken at their first appear
ance. The color varies from light
variable brown to almost black, the most
common being dark greenish olive or
blackish with pale lines down the back
and a whitish strip on each side. The
young larva have a habit of dropping,
from the trees and hanging on long
strands of silk. The harm done by
these pests is In the defoliation of the
host and instances have been observed
when practically complete defoliation
was the result of their unmolested rav
ages.
"To control band trees with tree
tanglefoot and spray thoroughly with
arsenate of lead, using -/three to four
pounds to fifty gallons of water.
“For further information regarding
this or any otljer tree or shrubbery pest

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
■ By David Cory. ““
CHAPTER CCCXLV.
Well, as soon as Puss was ready to
take the long Journey, which I men
tioned In the story before this, the King
summoned him to the throne and said:
"You see this letter. It must be taken
to the Great Governor Joriando. But
where he lives I ,do not know. This you
must find out for yourself.”
The letter was square and large, and
sealed together with a great deal of red
sealing wax.
After traveling a long time Puss came
to a sandy desert, where there were no
paths, and no one to point out the way.

And It happened that ho came out on
the wrong side of th* desert, where he
q{et a soldier clad in arnfor, with tall,
waving plumes. So he asked the soldier,
“Can you tell me where the Great Gov
ernor Joriando lives?”
“No, I can’t tell yon,” answered the
soldier; “but I have heard of him.” And
Just then a trumpet sounded and the
soldier hurried away.
At last Puss grew very weary of
wandering about, although he did have on
his seven-league boots, and one day, as
he was passing through a hay field, he
threw himself down to rest against a
haycock. And then, all of a sudden, up
jumped a man from the other side and
came around to see who was there. He
was quite a pa’e-iooking man and
seemed to be a traveler like Fuss Junior,
and on one arm he carried a basket with
the cover tied down.
“Are yon very tired?” he asked.
"Yes, very,” answered >Puss. “Can
you tell me where the Great Governor
Joriando lives?”
But the travo'er shook his head, and
then he sat down by little Puss Junior
and began to talk in a very friendly
way. He was quite a sad man, with a
low and Sorrowful voice. So Puss began
to whistle a merry air to make him feel
brighter, and after that Puss to!d him all
about Mother Goose Land and the Cow
that Jumped Over the Moon. But still
the stranger seemed vary sad. And after
they had taken a long rest he said, “What
do you say, Master Cat? Since you do
not know where to go, will you go with
me?”
“With all my hedrt,” answered Puss.
But before they started Puss fixed the
heels on his magic seven-league boots to
make them go slowly like ordinary shoes,
for, of course, if he hadn't the stranger
never could have kept up with him. So
they both started off, and in the next
story jwu shall hear what happened after
that.—(Copyright, 1921.)
