"AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Beautiful Chinese costumes, es- pecially designed and made of the most costly and luxurious silks and other rich materials, are one of the beauty features of At the End of the World" Betty Compson's first Paramount starring vehicle which will be presented at the Ideal thea tre next Monday and Tuesday.
 The entire production is rich in oriental atmosphere. The story opens in Chinese cafe and gambling es- tablishment in Shanghai, China, where Cherry, the motherless daugh- ter of an English proprietor, reigns as a queen. In this setting, Miss Compson as Cherry, wears several gorgeous Chinese gowns, and so at tired, is charming and fascinating.

ALLIES HOLD STRONG
 ARMY IN RHINELAND
(By the Associated PresD

Cologne, Dec. 24.-The allied armies of occupation in the Rhineland whic! the German government has been en- deavoring to nave reduced, are com posed at the present time of ap. proximately 113,000 officers and men Some German newspapers have been contending that the armies of the four powers should be reduced more than one-half, the money thus saved to the Berlin government to be applied to the separations fund.
 The armies of occupation are di- vided as follows: England, 4,00G; United States, $500; Belgium, 1S,000; France, 85,000; Great Britain's troops numbered about 5000 until a few months ago when several detachments went sent to Upper Silesia where they have been on duty since.

MUST EXPORT GOODS
 TO PURCHASE COTTON
Germany and Poland Can Consume Staple if They Can Ship Half
 of Goods.
tBy the Associated PrerD

Washington, Dec. 24.-Ihat ter many and Poland, as well as other European countries where wages are comparatively low, can continue to purchase and manufacture cotton If they can export slightly less than half their manufactured product IS evident from a careful survey of the facts made by the United States de- partment of agriculture. The mills in these countries can use an average grade of strict low middling Amer ican cotton which should cost them, laid down at the point of manufacture, about 19 cents pound, or $95 bale An average of 85 per cent of each bale of cotton can be manufactured into cloth or hosiery yarns. This means that 425 pounds of cotton cloth can be manufactured from one bale of cotton. The coarsest of this cloth should sell for about 35 cents pound and finished print cloths and hosiery at 50 cents or better, the average for all being fully 45 cents pound. At this average price, a total of $191.25 would be received by the manufacturer for the products derived from one bale of cotton.
 If slightly less than half of the goods can be exported and paid for in dollars or other comparatively high valued currency it would keep the mill owner supplied with sufficient money %o nurchase the new stocks of cotton necessary to keep his mill in operation and he would be independent of the fluctuations in the rate of exchange of the money of his own country. In addition, profits can be derived from sales in his own country where he and his employees live and purchase the necessities of life with cheap money and thus add to the favorable position of those manufacturers who conduct their business in countries having depreciated currency.

BOY SCOUTS IN
HEALTH MOVE
Patrol Streets and Remind
Crowds of Anticipating
Ordinance.

Boy Scouts, bearing health slogans of
various types, all emphasizing the anti
spit campaign of the Marion County
tuberculosis Association, patroued the
downtown streets today and reminded
Saturday crowds that Anticipating
ordinances and health rules should be
observed. F. o. Belzer, Scout Master,
volunteered the services Of the Scouts to
the local anti-tuberculosis association.
Dozens of organizations of citizens
have Endorsed the health campaign and
have adopted resolutions urging the en-
forcement of anti-spitting ordinances
and regulations. A peculiar develop
ment of the snti-spitting campaign ap-
peared at the headquarters of the tuber-
culosis association today when a man.
living on a rural route in the county,
wrote the following to the association:
your anticipating campaign is a
step in the right direction. And now
If you can get druggists and other en-
ployes in drug prescription departments
interested in an anti-spitting movement
in the line Of not sealing the flaps OF
envelopes into which they put pills, cap
sules, tablets, etc, with their tongues,
this will be another move in the right
direction. If you will send volunteer
observers into different drug stores
ESPECIALLY the smaller ones) and make
observations OF the many times these
envelopes flaps are licked generously
with saliva, it might help make us see
the necessity for a definite move to stop
this practice"

TRANSFER MAN
UP ON 18 COUNTS
w. S. Frye Accused of Vic
lating State Motor Vehicle
Laws.

Prosecutor W. P. Evans today fled
eighteen afidavits in Criminal Court
charging William S. Frye, a transfer
man Of this city. with violating the State
motor vehicle laws
Nine Of the afidavits charge that Mr..
Frye failed to display number plates on
his motor cars, and the other nine charge
that he failed to pay a registration fee
for the machines with the Secretary OF
State.
The prosecutor is determined to test
the validity Of the laws. which are COW
cred by 1918 and 1919 acts Of the Legis-
lature Much litigation already has de-
velOped over the statutes.
Some time ago, Judge James A Col
Inns sustained a motion to quash in
case against Frye, charging him with
failure to display number plates on his
trucks The court held at that time that
the amendment Of 1919 to the 1913 law
was unconstitutional in that it provided
for an increase In the registration fee.
According to Judge Collins, Frye was
not to he permitted to operate his trucks
without a license. but was to tender a
fee as provided in the 1913 statutes to the
secretary Of State This fee would have
been refused and then the attorney gen.
eral was expected to bring mandamus
proceedings in the Circuit Court to test
out the question.
According to the court. the fee was
never rendered and no mandamus pro-
ceedings were instituted.

urer, POI Chamber of Commerce building,
without waiting for formal statements to
be mailed. The member institutions of

large number Of pledges received in the
closing days Of the campaign it is not
possible to accomplish the clerical work
Of making out the usual statements.
The total received in the campaign

the Industrial plants, and each mail
brings remittances and pledges from cOu-
pOns published ia the newspapers of the
city. Although the campaign is formally
closed, subscriptions will be received at
any time"
Officials of the Polar Ice and Fuel
Company were surprised after pledges
had been made to have several men ask
that the amounts subscribed be in
creased. Inquiry by B. F. Schmidt. an
officer of the company, developed the fact
that one of the employees who asked that
his pledge of 81 a month be changed to
81 a week was responsible for the in
creases-

rent, and his entire family down sick.
He applied for assistance to the Com
munity Chest. and out Of gratitude for
the timely relief then given, is now an
enthusiastic worker for the cause. II

The Soul of City

Despite the fact that the Community
Chest campaign did not reach its
financial goal, I believe that we did
accomplish a tremendously vital
achievement in quickening the soul Of
our city. Through three weeks of
united effort hundreds of the com
mercial, financial. professional and in
dustrial leaders Of Indianapolis have
put into solicitation for the Commun-
ity Chest all they had Of persever-
ance, energy and argument. In the
face of small totals at daily lunch
cons they went back into the battle
with fresh spirit, not always hoping
for attainment of 100 per cent sue
cess, but determined to leave undone
no action that could bring pledges.
For unity Of ideals; for shoulder to
shoulder purpose to carry on against
discouragements; for loyalty to In
dianapOlis and its civic responsible
ties these splendid men and women
deserve the thanks of our community.
