CANDIDATES! Better get your alibis ready.
INDIANA will have an increased population of “also rails'’ tomorrow.
AGAIN it has taken a death to demonstrate that booze and automo
biles don't blend well.
THINK of all the political camp followers who will have to go back
to work for a living.
THE ONLY sure thing about the election is that some campaign man
ager is a poor predicter.
WITH BEVERIDGE winning by 100,000 and Senator New by 75,000
what chance has the ordinary voter of expressing his preference?
China*s Civil War .
China —somnolent, docile, once advertised alluringly as the t elestial
empire—has leaped into front page prominence almost overnight and is
glv’jg the world its first sight of bloodshed on a grand, organized sca:e
since the world war. Chinamen who cut their pigtails off and banished
the empire several years ago have been attempting to exist as a national
entity with two separate republics, one in the south and one in the north,
and the present civil war is only the natural outgrowth of an intolerable
situation.
The strife between Gen. Chang Tao Ling, supporter of Dr. Sun Yat
Sen, President of the South Chinese republic, and Gen. Wu Pei Fu, guar
dian of the administration of President Hsu Chang, is strictly a private
Chinese affair so far. but the way the foreign nations, including the United
States, are rushing warship to the Orient indicates there is a fear the war
fare may get out of bounds. It is to be hoped, both for the good of China's
future and in the interests of the nationals involved, that there will not be
a repetition of the Boxer troubles, from which that country has never fully
recovered.
Like all disputes the prosent controversy could be settled without re
course to arms, but as long as the leaders are bent on winning power at
the cost of blood or treasure a civil war is the inevitable consequence.
.4 ppredated Entertain men t
The standards of a community are reflected in the kind of entertain
ment the citizens patronize. People shop wisely for their entertainment.
This is shown in she growth of the Stuart Walker company here and of
Keith vaudeville.
The third of a century anniversary of vaudeville has just been ob
served in all Keith houses. Mr. Walker tonight bows in with his sixth
season in this city The ideals of both institutions have become a vital
part in the life of the city.
The Governor of the State, influential men of afTairs, club and lodge
leaders and even the Chamber of Commerce took part in the anniversary
shows at Keith’s last week. This is the first time in the history of vaude
ville in the State and eve* she Middle West where the citizens have vol
untarily appeared on a -tage as testimony of respect for clean entertain
ment A
vaudeville har been honored by citizens here, the public eye is
upon Mr. Walker and his institution of clean and beautiful
i®2jfifinrneßt. He has given the city a resident theater of repertor>, the
that othe.r cities are demanding. The support Indianapolis
has given Mr. Walker and his ideas for five years is a testimonial of the
respect that Indianapolis has for enterprises that give clean and whole
some entertainment.
Wanderlust
This is the time of year when the police records are cluttered with re
ports of missing boys. It has been so since police records have been made,
and the boys turned up missing, doubtless, long before there were such
things as police records.
It is spring that gets them. Wanderlust is distinctly a disease of the
springtime. Every one has it. It is not confined to those of tender years,
although youth, having fewer responsibilities, more easily succumbs.
This disappearance of boys is not dangerous or alarming. Most of
th'em return when they begin to think about mother's cooking.
There is something attractive to every one about nearly any place
where he doesn’t happen to he at the time. That is why so many persons
shift from place to place and from job to job.
A few years back, before this country ceased to have a western fron
tier, the youth of the land had visions of Indian fighting and roughing it
in the backwoods, prospecting for gold, perhaps. It sounded romantic
and it was something outside the humdrum existence of conventional
civilization. Consequently, they sneaked away from home and sometimes
got as far as the next town or even the next State when longing for
home cooked food and a good bed took them back.
Boys are no different today. The same attractions may not exist, hut
after all it is not the attraction so much as the simple desire for change
that draws them.
This wanderlust and this desire for change and new and better en
vironment is not dangerous and it is not to be deplored. Rather it is to
be looked upon as one of the things that makes the world go around.
If Columbus as a boy had not desired to find what was to the west
ward. America would not have been discovered until some other boy had
the urge. If the American pioneers had not felt the urge there would have
been no Indiana. It is the same thing that prompted the quests for the
poles, that prompts trans-Atlantic aeroplane flights, that prompts almost
any movement —the desire for adventure and the desire to see new lands
and new sights.
>ome More anti-WUsonism
It was General Grant, we believe, who originated what was for years
regarded as a political truth in the declaration that the Democratic party
could always be depended upon to commit a fatal blunder at the time when
it would be sure to be of the greatest benefit to its opponents. When
Cleveland came to the front the adage began to lose Its force, but between
his last term and 1910 the old hoodoo seemed once more to lead the Demo
crats into morasses and quicksands About 1910 the hoodoo appeared to
change, sides, ans the Republicans with their Aldrich-Payne tariff bill and
their factional quarrels made a series of blunders that gave the Democrats
an opportunity to nominate and elect Mr. Wilson. The raven of disaster
continued to perch upon their front door for nearly seven years, and might
have kept its place there In 1920 but for Mr. Wilson’s physical breakdown.
However, what the Democrats could not do in 1920 the Republicans
have been busy doing for them in the last few months. They have been
making campaign issues for the Democrats as recklessly as a drunken
sailor squanders his money. The things that will count most heavily
against the Harding Administration may be financial ami economic blun
ders, but we believe that nothing will create more disgust with fair
minded people than Commissioner Blair’s ruling with regard to donations
to the Wilson fund.
Commissioner Blair had previously ruled that the Roosevelt Memorial
Association and the McKinley Memorial Association were educational or
ganizations and that persons making contributions to them could deduct
such sums from their taxable incomes. But the commissioner has recently
decided that the Woodrow Wilson foundation is “civic and not educational”
and that contributions to it are not deductible from income returns. This
conclusion is reached by a process of transparent quibbling that has rarely
been equaled in governmental annals. And what appears to to its
deliberate and astonishingly narrow- partisanship is the intimation that
the internal revenue bureau was at first about to make the same ruling
with regard to the Wilson foundation gifts that it had made as to those
to the Roosevelt and McKinley memorials, and then suddenly changed its
mind and spent weeks in hunting for a plausible pretext for its final dis
crimination.
Tlfc thing is so amazingly petty, so n eajly small, that it Is hard to
match it.—Baltimore Sun. ,

NEW POLICY BILL
OPENS At KEITH’S.
The Jump from the big time into sum
mer vaudeville was made yesterday at
Keith’s.-
The schedule at Keith’s this summer
will permit of continuous performances
from 1:30 to 11 o’clock. Movies and si*
a--ts of vaudeville make up the bill. It
is planned to offer this kind of enter
tainment until the regular big time sea
son opens next fall.
There are two acts which rather de
nisnd attention. Taylor, Howard and
“Them’’—the “them’’ being a large col
lection of animals. Some of the anl
mals are strange looking creatures and
the truth Is they are seldom on exhibi
tion. The manner in which these strange
pets are Introduced is as novel as the
pets themselves. It is anew Idea and
entirely different from the regular run
of things on the stage.
A1 Abbott, an impersonator of rural
and other types, has a natural sort of
way about him which makes his act run
smoothly. Robert Reilly and company
present an Irish playlet called "Redella
O'Shea.” It is light and tuneful. A
youngster in the act by the name of
Little Larry dances well and contributes (
to some of the comedy scenes of the little j
playlet.
Jimmy Duffy and company present;
what might ’ - called "The Horrors of
1922,'' which is a burlesque on the revue
The whole act is different from the regu
lar revue, ns it pokes fun at this rather
new Institution of amusement. Pierre
and Dunne, remembered from othpr sea
sons, B tlll retain some of their materia!
which has been done before by them, li
the reviewer is not mistaken.
The I.e Hays open the bill with an
aerial act In which the male member of
the team does some clever work by
hanging to a trapeze by his heels.
The movie feature is Gladys Walton in
• The Wise Kid.”
At Keith’s all week.

---"MELODY MAIDS”
TOP LYRIC BILL
Frederick Snntley and his Melody
Maids, who top the bill at the Lyric this
week, are really deserving of she headline
position. Stantlev offers a program of
speeial songs which hi sings well. He is
assisted by Nell Wood, Wynne Gibson,
Frances Vernon. Marie Reed and Muige
Morrison, who play on throe pianos at one
time, sing, dance and help generally to j
put the act over.
Sternle and Bloom are a pair of black ,
face comedians with good voices and a
line of chatter that quickly wins favor
with the audience. Mile Antonleta
Dvorak opens wlrh a violin selection and
then plays a Bohemian instrument which
adds novelty to the bill.
An act of some merit is that of John J.
Wolvln and company, in “Bill Bllthcn
Lawyer.” Wolvln plays an old man roil
which affords him plenty of chance for
comedy.
Hally and Noble display plenty of
shown: .-.nship during their routine c.f •
songs, talk and dancing. Christie and
McDonald are back with anew line of
songs and piano selections.
The Gladiators open the Mil with a
neat athletic exhibition. Sumater
Smith close with a comedy trapese act.

*A representative of the Ballin Company
supplies this data :
"On the pictorial side, 'The Journey's
End,’ Hugo Ballin's third independent
production for Hodkinson release, is
makin-r serein historv as the first, drama
to be presented without titles, a fact
that is already arousing wide spread nt
, tent ion. But the picture is also making
, screen history from another point of
[view —>n the literary side; for It Is the
I first time that, a real piece of literature,
written by a nun, has been shown on
i the screen. .
"Asa matter of fact, the record of
1 literature shows few examples of notable
J stories emanating from convent walls, or,
Indeed, having to do with the cinis'ered
life at nil. One immediately recalls In

a Dominican nun of our own days, Is
the first work of Its kind to reach the
screen."

Two-Step Amplifier Hook-Up
DAILY RADIO FEATURES
SET FOR DISTANCE AND POWER.
BY R. L. DUNCAN,
Director, Radio Institute of America.
One of the best radio receiving sets
obtainable is the short wave regenerative
set with a two-step amplifier.
With tb-is set greater distance can be
covered in receiving and greater signal
strength Obtained.
Its cost ranges from $l6O up. But any
amateur car assemble the set himself by
purchasing the parts, if he doesn’t want
to make them, at a cost of less than SBO.
This includes the price of batteries, tubes,

Radio Excursions
Dancing by Kudin Aboard the Rnth
Alexander.
Radio dances have been introduced on
excursion boats along the Pacific coast.
The innovation has been accepted so
enthusiastically, say owners of the ves
sels, tHat they are planning to organize
what they will call “radio excursions”
for the summer.
Admiral Line ships were among the
first to be equipped with radio receiving
stations so rthe benefit of the passengers.
On each ship's deck a radio set with ioud
speaker attachment is Installed. Broad
casting stations along the coast furnish
tlie music for dancing and other enter
taincenf.
Aii the way from Los Angeles to
Seattle, the vessels are in touch with
one or more broadcasting stations, so the
supply of music is continuous.

mounted in a cabinet about eight inches
high, thirty-four inches long and seven
inches deep.
HOW IT WORKS.
Even if you build part of this set
yourself, do not try to construct tha
transformers, tubes, tube sockets, head
phones or rheostat. It Is cheaper to buy
these parts.
The transformers are similar In con
struction to the large power transformer
with a core, primary and secondary
windings. But they are, of course, much
smaller In size.
The three tubes depend upon the “A”
battery for their filament current sup
ply Since each tube draws approxi
mately one ampere of current it would ba
well to have at least a 90-ampere-hour
battery.
One “B” battery is used for the de
tector tubes, while both-“B” batteries or
45 volts are used for the amplifying tubes
—this is due to the differences in the
vacuum of the tubes themselves.
The' vario-coupler, variometers and
condensers can be made as explained in
previous articles.
When completed this set should be as
good as any sold in the market by the
leading companies.
; RADIO PRIMER j
Cycle—ln case of an alternating cur
rent, each complete change of direction
is called a cycle. For instance, ordinary
lighting current is known as a slxty
cj cle current, that is, it goes through
sixty cycles of change In one second.
E' a cycle consists of a rise in positive
voltage to the maximum, a fall to zero,
further drop in negative voltage to tha
lowest point and return to zero.
