She was
utterly amazed

To find that what she thought was
the shop itself, was merely the open Sesame
to veritable wonderland of rare and beautiful
objects.
But as she stepped from the eleva.
tor, and all the wonders of the place lay
revealed before her-she stood amazed at the
spectacle.
For here, in the very heart of the
most exclusive shopping centre of New
York, she had discovered a huge treasure store,
the existence of which was hardly suggested by
its modest street entrance
The great floor upon which she
found herself, was as large as a whole city
block square! Its long, softly lighted aisles
stretched away as far as the eye could follow,
and yet this was but one of the great floors that
comprise this surprising shop-ths huge Home
OF Treasures, from the Old world and the New.
Astonishment soon gave way to de.
light as the details of the enormous display
revealed themselves to her-for here were the
things that in her planning she had hardly hoped
to find.
And so, unmindful of the passing
hour, she revelled in a world of new delights.

SHANK MAKES7
TALKS TO 5000
Says He's Certain of Going
Over-Task Now to Keep
Crooks Down.

Speaking before seven meetings, aggre-
eating more than eight thousand in at
tendance. Samuel Lewis Shank, ex-mayor
Of Indianapolis. declared repeatedly last
night that the combined opinions of ex-
perienced politicians conceded to him a
plurality of between 5000 and 10000
votes in the coming mayOralty primary.
so the big task left to US" he said,
sis to get our votes cast in the face of
INSCRIPTIONS opposition and then to get
them counted fairly. Warned by our
experiences four years ago, we are TAX
ing every precaUtiOn conceivable to pre-
vent fraud.
THE first man who makes a crooked
move on election day will find himself
serving as a horrible example to other
election crooks. Charlie Jewett has said
Shank forces stole votes from him.
Charlie Jewett knows that is a palpable
j., lie. No man ever before accused me of
a dishonest act and 1 have been in public
life for twenty years.
The truth is hardly to be expected
of a man who breaches temperance in
indianapolis and then runs to Louis
Vile, Chicago and Cleveland to get
bowling drunk. 1 dare Charlie to deny
that he does that little thing. L Will
produce his bartender in five minutes. "
Mr.. Shank declared that the present
administration Notwithstanding its eX-
travagance has let the streets of the city
go to ruin, that the present board of
public works has served the interests of
the corporations and has ever been deaf
to the pleas of common citizens.
They have been planning to take the
kink out of East Michigan street at
Highland avenue" he said. "They want
to assess the cost against the property
owners. 1t would cost property owners
es high as $50 each and it would benefit
no one but the street car company. Rails
spread at such curves and the company
wants the street Strengthened. When Op-
position to this movement got too hot to
handle the other day the action was
postponed until May 11-after the pri-
mary. 1 have been advocating play
grounds in my campaign. So the other
day the park board announced that it
was going to establish eight of them.
when 1 am down there in the city
hall the doors will swing both ways and
citizens will always have the right to air
their grievances and make requests
The largest Shank meeting was held at
State and Washington streets. Council
man Peake presided.
The big shank meeting tonight will be

HOWE OPPOSED
TO CONTRACTING
Says Business Head in Mayors
Office Should Save
Taxpayers.

Mr.. Thomas C. Howe, former president
Of Butler College and News Jewett can
didate for mayor, told the employees of
the Prest- O Lite plant In a speech at noon
today that he is "irrevocably opposed to
going back to the old contract method of
patching streets and collecting garbage
and ashes" and declared that business
head in the mayors Office should be able
to operate these city services at a saving
to the taxpayers by city management. u
a private contractor can do the work at
profit to himself"
Mr.. Howe told the meeting that the
good citizens who are interested in ef-
f1cient government must go to the polls
and help select the man who is going TO
run the public bushes the next four
years.
IF you do not go to the polls and vote
on the Sd day of May you have forfeited
any right to complain if you do not get
good government" he said.
Being mayor of Indianapolis is man.
size Job, Mr.. Howe said, and should be
undertaken only with the desire to rem
der a public service. 1t is no Job to be
lightly approached nor loosely dealt
with, and the voters should exercise the
greatest discrimination in making their
choice Of an agent, the candidate as
serted.
THE mayor Of indianapolis is the
chief servant Of the people," he contin-.
ued. LAS such he must be able to count.

TO DEDICATE
JOINT SCHOOL
New Palestine Ceremony Will
Mark End of TwO-Year
Fight.

A two-year fight centered about the
construction Of a modern consolidated
schoolhouse at New Palestine, in which
the township trustee and school board
of that community were the brunt of a
continued attack by newspapers, the
State board of tax commissioners, State
board of health and former Governor
James P Goodrich, will end Friday
night, when the building is dedicated.
Construction work on the building
started two years ago, following cessa-
ton of activities on account of the war,
and the first term of school opened Sept.
20 in the new building. The school.
which is the first in the county to have
an accredited six-year high school
course. and the twentieth in the State,
provides for pupils who are transported
from five school districts by motor buses.
Action toward the construction OF the
building was begun in the first term or
Scott Brandenburgh as trustee. Mr..
Brandenburgh was opposed by group
Of citizens who carried their opposition
to indianapolis newspapers, and to State
officials, with such success that several
suits we're brought in the courts before
the affair finally was settled. The case
was carried to the State board of tax
commissioners, which body ruled against
the school officials. These men then
petitioned for a special election on the
matter Of a bond issue, and at this action
opposition to the construction OF the
building was withdrawn.
The building is a fifteen -room brick
structure, accommodating 200 pupils, and
was erected at a cost Of $1,000. H. L.
Holenbach is principal Of the school,
and nine teachers form the staff of in
structors. Manual training, physical
training, domestic science, in addition to
a regular high school curriculum, are
taught.
An elaborate program is being pre-
pared for the dedicatory exercises.
Prominent speakers will be obtained TO
make addresses. 1t is expected that
citizens from surrounding counties,
where interest in the construction OF the
building, due to the long fight has been
aroused, will attend the dedicatory ex-
ercises.
The exercises will be held in the
school auditorium which Will seat 800
persons.
Commencement exercises viii be held
for the graduating class Of the high
school, May &. Five seniors viii receive
diplomas. Jonathan Rigdon, president
of Central Normal College. Danville, VIII

The cat-and-dog fight in progress
among Republican candidates is a dis
graceful and degrading exhibition of
political rapacity and selfishness. 1t
clearly manifests that the participants
place the welfare of themselves and their
party, above that Of the city. In CON
trast with their methods, we should feel
proud of the dignified canvass being
made by our candidates. The lack OF
noise In our campaign indicates no lack
OF interest, bu. rather an earnestness
that will result In the selection and cleo
