I'VE are living in an interesting

Alderman, mot because a great war
is over but because there is new
science developed in the world, which
we can call the study of mass psy-
cology. 1t is we men of business
and industry that must work out the
problems of this new science. For
| long time problems have been solved
by the masses of people, notably al
elections. We have never looked al
thtis as a science, but as part OF
the government, until the upheaval II
Russia. There the masses have moi
acted as political masses, but as in
dustrial masses. The action of the
Industrial group is not like that o.
the political group.

of industrial unrest and social dlscon

the only way to solve the problem
they faced after the Car left tn
throne, which are what the Unlte'

RULES
STAGE SAYS
! GOTHAM RABBI
Lingerie Plays Are De-
nounced as Vulgar lncar-
nation Of Impurity.

NEW YORK, May 13.-"Pitiful, glar-
ing. defiling contrast to what they
fought for in France, returned Ameri-
can soldiers are being entertained IN
New York by Lingerie plays which
serve as .'annexes to the brothel, RAD |
bi Stephen Wise declared in sermon |
delivered today at the free synagogue
in Carnegie hall. New York's theatre
managers, producers, playwrights,
PLAYERS, dramatic critics and theatre
going public, particularly the Jews,
alike were arraigned by his sermon
entitled THE Decadent Drama; How
Save IT,"
From the first words of his sermon,
Doctor Wise turned the heavy artil-
llery Of his vocabulary full upon the
faults Of the American theatre, liter
ally showering the subject with
scorching phrases.
/ Calls 1t "Dirtiest Business"
"The dirtiest business in America,
was his Characterization.
1T is blasphemy," he said, ito take
iclean-limbed, outstanding youth to
some OF the revolving, nauseating
plays now running in New York. 1t is
an intolerable insult to expose them
TO that. in return for their work In
France.
ST carry in mind one show in partic-
lular that I saw only last week In one
of the leading theatres OF the city
Most of the audience were soldiers
and sailors am told there are doz-
ZEN shows equally bad in the city.
MANY shows in New York are like
being written by the hosiery buyers OF
department stores. The average petit
coat purchaser of Sioux City or Tulsa
would write the sort of the show saw
the other night-if he should stoop to
write play.
"Work Of Moral Scavensers."
Y "It was nothing less than the work
i of moral scavengers and filth produc
l. ers. It was the product of moral lep
!. rosy. The stage was filled with hall
l. dressed women-though no more &c
!. than the boxes of the theatre itself, OF
l. the Hobbies of the average hotel. Il
e was the vulgar incarnation of impur
; ity, spun about a display of hosiery
y and underwear
l. In placing the blame for such plays
e Doctor Wise first mentioned the PEG
i pie of the stage, saying they wer'
n mostly uneducated.
l. 81 feel sorry for them" he said. 9TH
1t theatre Of today is cluttered with III
educated male and female loafers.
do not say that all plays are bad o
that all actors are uneducated, bu
many are, and they exhibit standard
that cultivated men and women car
II not accept. So long as actors are hire
and fired like clerks, so long will Their

The Modem Home
BY GRACE E. HADLEY.
Home Demonstration Agent.

The modern home should be place
where the entire family can live and
receive the maximum returns in
health, earning power and joy from
the minimum expenditure of time and
labor on routine processes. To make
this possible, it is necessary to have
the right kind of tools with which to
work. The Introduction of convent
encs and labor saving devices, will
greatly reduce the waste of time and
energy of the women in the home and
give her added time for some of the
MANY outside activities, for reading
and for recreation.
More and more women are realizing
that home-making is business and
that any device which adds to the eff
fciency of her work only makes her
the more competent manager. G. w
Taber says: Household management
is both a practical are and trained
profession. Not until it is recoS
nized as such will the average home
be maintained upon an efficient ano
economical basis 1t is as much g
business enterprise as is the running
of a store or office, or as is the opera
ton of factory"
Perhaps the greatest convenience
and labor saving device for the farm
woman is running water in the house
The town or city woman can hardl.
appreciate this convenience, since sh'
has always had it as matter o
course; but for the farm woman wht
has much heavy drudgery to perform
its value cannot be estimated. Will
a complete water system for the farm
home is desirable from every stand
point { and many farm homes in Ind
ana do have all modern city convent
ences) yet, where this mis- not pos
sible, inexpensive systems which vii
bring the water into the kitchen, a
least, bay be obtained.
A good washing machine and wiring
er run by motor or engine are, mex
to running water. the greatest labo
savers for women who do their ow
laundry work.
An oil or gasoline stove for use |
the cooking and canning during tn
hottest time of summer will add muc
TO the pleasure and comfort of tn
worker.

AUTO TIRE PRICES
CUT IS PER CENT

cent is announced by the Goodyear

Firestone Tire and Rubber company.
The Miller Rubber company also an

Military Police Search '
Soldier With Truck

A soldier with a truck was the OBJ
ject of search of two military police
from Fort Benjamin Harrison, who
stopped at police headquarters for a
few minutes Tuesday noon.
They had been sent from the fort in
search of the truckman, who started
several days ago from an eastern city
to indianapolis and had not yet turned

NO LONGER
COIN TO BE ,DESPISED

That the penny is no longer to be
ignored as it has been for the last
few years, is revealed by the govern
ment starting their minis to work at
making the coppers by the millions
during the last few days. These coins
are being shipped to the banks by the
bushels. The Denver and Philadelphia
mints are working almost exclusively
on the one cent pieces and an extra
shift of workers has been ordered for
the other minis.
The one cent piece was formerly
looked upon as a thing to be given
to the children or used to purchase a
postage stamp when it was found in
ones pocket, but today, since the va
rious taxes have been in effect, there
, is hardly a purse or pocket that does
not contain a certain percent OF cop
pers and they are as important as the
dollar when it comes to buying many
articles.
| Local banks are feeling the efec'
| of the penny shortage for those who
formerly kept them supplied with then
are now coming and asking for then
in order to meet the revenue require
nents. This is especially true of thu
soda fountain dealers as in the cours'
of a day a great number of pennies
are handed out in making change.
The shortage is not only a loca
condition but the whole country is cry
ing for the penny and if the minis d
not get busy and make the coppers Il
great numbers, the merchants will no
be able to meet the revenue require
ments, but it is hoped in a short tim
, that this shortage will be relieved.
