CITY UTILITIES
Would Protect Public as
Against H0we's Stand.

Addressing voters at six meetings last
night Edward J. Robson, candidate for
the Republican nomination for mayor,
fayed the Citizens Gas Company for what
he terms its mismanagement and asserted
that letters had been sent out to stock
holders to beat Ed Robson for mayor as
he was against the gas company.
If the opposition is elected then there
is no telling when or where the gas com
pany will go in its pleas for higher
rates" Mr.. Robson said.
Among his meetings, Mr.. Robson spoke
at the Atlas Theater Nineteenth and
Martindale, and the Dream Theater, 2511
Station street.
THE learned judge speaking for the
opposition says that the mayor can do
nothing in the matter of rates Of public
utilities and it all rests with the public
service commission" the speaker de-
clared. But I want TO know who has
anything to do with rate pleas If the
mayor doesn't? He's the representative
Of you voters. If 1 am mayor you may
be assured that l Will have something to
say about rates
AT present there is a wide variances
between the speakers in the opposition
camp. Corporation Counsel Ashbv asserts
that city officials have an interest in the
rates, and the other speakers declare
that they have no Interest, that the pub
lie service commission has all the in
terest. And, too, the gas company Will
furnish standard gas and not so much
air when l am mayor"

hands with Puss. invited him to come
to his castle. SO Puss mounted his big
black horse and followed the giant until
they came to his home And as soon as
the giant opened the gate that led into
the courtyard, little blue pigeon -attled
on his shoulder and sang this song,
My slant is a kindly ruan,
And though so strong and big.
He never hurt a little bird,
Nor harmed a tiny pig"
And then the giant began to laugh, for
this was the first time his little blue
pigeon had spoken IA rhyme. And after
that he led Puss Juniors horse to the
stable and then he and Puss went into
the castle.
Come and sit on my knee and I'll

the giant began;
"Once upon q time an old woman came
through my forest. She had over her
shoulders a red shawl and on ner head

upon her way she came across a party
Of boys and girls picking mushrooms.

\ black, poisonous mushroom at her and
told her to cook it for her supper.
'Heartless boy" said the old woman.
and she touched the mushroom with her
crutch, and 1t Immediately turned into
a snake. And before the wicked boy
could run away it wound itself about
his leg, and without another word the
old woman hObbled away into the forest
and by and by she came to a humble
cottage where q poor woman sat spin

door. Come in said the poor woman.
not rising from her spinning for she
had to finish her work that night. But
when she saw the poor old woman she
got up and helped her to a chair and
brought her food and drink
And after that the old woman said:

your work And no sooner did she take
the distaf in her withered. wrinkled hand
than she turned into q beautiful crea-
ture all in dazzling white Her long
floating hair was a yellow and silky as

in her hand

The Truth About Indianapolis


~ NE out of every four autoists driving
81 apopular-priced car last year equipped
it with the Indianapolis made shock
absorbers. To supply the demand for
more than 100000 sets of these absorbers,
more than 1000 miles of special chrome steel
wire were used in the springs-and 1000 tons of
malleable castings were made. Absorbers manu-
featured in indianapolis last year had retail
value Of S3,500000.
Motorists threading their way through African
jungles rode on Indianapolis-made shock alb,
sorbers and the ruts in Alaskan trails were re.
Eeved of their brunt force by similar absorbers.
The largest manufacturers of absorbers in the
city has twenty-five distributing points, thor
Oughy covering the United States, and owns its
freight cars in which the absorbers are shipped
to these points. More than $50 men and women
were engaged day and night to manufacture the
shock absorbers.
