POWERFUL DRAMA AT
 EMPRESS TONIGHT

From time to *time new ideas and new ''isms" arise to tear down and de- stroy existing conventions. What has saved us so far? The "heart of the home" While that stands, a living, vital flame, no cult can be strong enough to shatter.
 'The One Woman" is a powerful illustration of the doctrine of free love, practically applied-the theory of socialism that has run into rabid radicalism, and the heart-breaking ruin that follows in it's trail It is a strong play, ably acted, that will interest you, make you laugh and cry, and set you thinking.
 It will be repeated for the last time tonight. The Sennett two-reel com edy, "Love's False Faces" forms the balance of the program.
 Tomorrow night Hale Hamilton will be seen in the iolliest of five-reel com edies, Full of Pep" What is pep? We'll, there is the kind you have, and the kind you acquire. Some of it comes bottled, and otherwise. Pep is your middle name. Don't forget the adate-tomorrow night.

TO WAGE FIGHT
ON PUTNAM SCALE
Park Department Plans to
Wipe Out Tree Pest.

Means Of checking the spread of Put
No N scale, a pest which infests prob
ally per cent OF the trees In Indian
apolis, are recommended In a bulletin
issued by George Fl. Morgan, In charge
of the special service of the city park de-
partment, today.
The bulletin announces:
Putnam scale so closely resembles the
San Jose scale that quite frequently 1t IL
mistaken for the other species. 1t Is
much less injurious insect since It multi
plies much less rapidly and also since II
has a much more limited host. Indian
apolis trees have not severely infect
ed with this scale, nevertheless, it has
been found In cases where its severity
has caused unsightliness although only
occasionally is 1t destructive to the ex-
tent Of causing death, but where infesta-
lions are left unmolested the tree Is
weakened to the extent that 1t Is sub
ject to the attacks of other insects and
diseases, az it is a well known fact that
diseases gain their entrance through the
host being weakened from some other
cause. Infestation occurs on the trunk,
l.mbs and branches.
The female scales are about the same
size as these OF the San Jose scale, being
about one-twe,fth inch in diameter, the
general color is little darker and the
nipple-like structure is a little to one
side instead OF being in the center and
Is dark red in color. The male scales
are smaller, elongate and with the nipple
at one side.
The winter is passed IN tho partly
grown state, the insects being q bit
more developed than the over winterinR
San Jose scale. The males. winged,
appear in April and the egg laying
females deposit their quota OF eggs In
the early summer. thirty to forty being
laid at time, these are deposited under
the shelter Of the scale cover, the young
hatch before midsummer settle upon tho
bark and form scale coverings. There
is but one generation per year
The soft maple and the linden arc the
most susceptible OF all hosts, but the
elm. ash. blackberry and number OF
other trees. including some varieties Of
fruit trees often are infected
The control measures are the same as
for the San Jose scale, spraying while
the trees are dormant and as long as
the weather remains above freezing
Lime sulphur diluted one to six with
water, or miscible oil diluted one TO ten
with water will tend to hold the insect
in check The main essential In spray
ing Is 10 cover the host thoroughly as
only those insects that are actually hit
are the ones controlled. The damage
done by the Putnam scale Is the same
as the San Jose scale. in that It pierceS
the bark with its beak and sucks the
life juices OF the host.
Those desiring advice and instruction
upon this or any other pest or upon
home beautiacation are urged TO con
public parks.

COUNCIL MAY NOT
RATIFY GAS DEAL
Contract to Amend Franchise
Comes Up Monday Night.

It was freely predicted today by
those In a position to know that the
city council will refuse to ratify the
contract amending the franchise Of the
Citizens Gas Company at the regular
meeting next Monday night.
The contract. which was negotiated by
the board of public works with the gas
company, after weeks of effort on the
part Of Corporation Counsel Samuel
Ashby to bring the two together. binds
the gas company to a promise to make
$1,000 900 worth Of plant improvements
and extensions by Dec. 81, 1921, and
provides that the company shall ration
gas during periods Of shortage so that
cook stoves will get the preference. 1t
is in the hands OF a council committee
of the whole, with Councilman Russell
Wilson as chairman. A report on it is
due Monday.
The majority Of the councilmen are
said to hold the view that since j.. D.
Forrest. secretary and general manager
of the gas company, has announced In
a public statement that the improvement
program will go ahead In spite Of any
action the council may take, that 1t is
unnecessary 20 amend the franchise and
lay the city liable to an increase in gas
rates or any other advantage which
might accrue to the gas company through
Its concessions 10 the city. The council
men are fearful that II poor service re-
suits from the rationing and an effort to
get increased rites results from the
agreement to make the 1000 900 worth
OF improveme nts. that the public viii
blame them for ratifying the contract.
Some counciimen are OF the opinion
that there should be no change In the
franchise until the present provisions OF
that instrument are fully enforced. They
point particularly to the failure Of the
hoard OF public works 20 force the com
pany to furnish gas Of coo British Their
NAL units quality The average quality
cf gas furnished in the month OF Oc.o-
Der was only SAT d. T. o. The council
Inen say they would not object of tho
quality was up 10 at least $40 but they
regard gas below $50 as watered milk.
There will be no changes I'm the fran
chlse until the board OF works enf0rces
the present contract" one councilman
said. III the board OF public works
does not want to enforce the British
thermal unit standard then think the
members ought to resign"

The old Chinatown" explained a San

composed Of dilapidated tenements and
rock cries from two to five stories high,
divided by narrow alleys that were
swa <ning day and night with the occu
pants OF the first floor stores and base
ments. Nearly every house had Its cellar
and subcellar, usually given over to the
use OF opium, gambling and other in
EQUITIES. The joss houses were more
numerous then and Chinese music, which
is so excruciating to Occidental ears,
constantly issued from them.
THE theaters, too, were more numer-

cal profession; the scenery was print

without a plot, so far as an Occidental
could see. and 1t often took days and
even weeks before the fnal curtain de-
scended on the last act.

ton of the old, but II is much cleaner.
much healthier and less wicked. 1t is
also much grander. for there are now
several Chinese millionaires, and many
