Taylor E. Groninger, city corpora

countant for the city today, started
analyzing consumers data just pre-
pared by the Indianapolis Water Com
pany in connection with it's demand

The city has until Sept. Is to file
its analysis with the public service
commission. Oral arguments will be
heard by the commission Sept. 27.
The data covers sixty pages and
consists largely of tables showing di-
vision of consumers according to the
amount of water used and the amount
paid. The figures indicate 1924 per
cent of the company's total revenue is
derived from commercial sales and
14.15 per cent from hydrant rentals

Total pumpage during 1922 was

RICH NEBRAskAN'
 WIVES COME H|GH.
Loses Second Mate At 28, Two Diyorces Having Cost
 More Than Million

OMAHA, Neb.. Dec. s.-E. John Brandeis of Omaha, wealthiest man in Nebraska, has just been divorced the second time, although he is not yet 2S years old. The divorces, ac- cording to reports, cost him more than million dollars.
 MT. Brandeis maintains offices in New York, where he is said to have met his second wife as a clothing model. They were married In Seward, Alaska, about two years ago. MT. Brandeis was on big game hunt and Mrs. Brandeis accom- panied him, being the heroine of sew eral hunting adventures before mo- ton picture cameras.
 The Brandeises later went hunt ing in Central Africa for six months and returned only two months ago. A month ago Mrs. Brandeis filed suit, charging cruelty.
 The alimony given Mrs. Brandeis has not been made public, settlement being made out of court. but reports vary from S25O,000 to t1,00o,O00.
 The first Mrs. Brandeis was Miss Madeline Francks of San Francisco. After less than a year she sued for divorce, charging cruelty. The case was disposed of in half an hour. Mrs. Brandeis received S450,000; daughter, whom the father never saw, received $250,000, and it was said the lawyers got S50,000.

BIRMINGHAM GIRL. IS FIGURE. IN NEW NOVEL
Fay Written By Tennessee Man,
 Delightful Southern Story

Birmingh figures in ray, a new novel by Edwin Baird, which is attracting attention because of its discussion of southern customs and
 southern temperament. The book is published by Edward J. Clode. New
 York. MT. Baird, Tennessean by birth. is now 8 magazine editor in
 Chicago. He knows the south as it really Is. and not as 1t Is regarded by the north, and there is fine fidel- ity in his treatment of the theme. The scene of the novel is "Talla- hatchee," small city of eastern Tennessee. One of the characters is the daughter of a Birmingham iron manufacturer, another a visitor from | Atlanta. All the people figuring in the story are drawn to type, and | particularly refreshing element is MT.
 Baird's depletion of his negro char acters.
 The story 6eals with the home coming, after nine years absence, of l Arlo Bowen, who had gone to Chicago | as a youth to carve out a niche for l himself, but had succeeded merely
 In scratching the surface of granite
 world. He finds his home as he had
 left 1t, except that his brother and | | a newcomer in the household, an
 orphan girl named Fay, who has been
 adopted by his mother. Fay is es-
 sentially an ugly ducklfng, freckled red-haired and high-tempered Be- l tween Fay and Arlo Bowen there Is
 hate at first sight-Fay despises him las an interloper Bowen sees noth- ing attractive in her, either. Her one redeeming feature is a gift that | nature has given her in compensation 1 for her h0meliness. She is forever singing and her voice is one of sur passing natural beauty.
 Arlo Bowen lives lightly through 1 a summer of amorous adventures.
 There are charming belles of the dis 1 tinctively southern type in Talla- l hatchee, and Arlo is the cavalier l southerner who parades himself $ a | professional target for Eros. He promptly falls in love with three girls, one after the other, and man ages to become engaged to two of them simultaneously. His anguish at the discovery of this thoughtless duplication Is somewhat relieved by l the sudden elopement of both his fi- nances. Arlo is crushed. He deter mines bitterly to become a world famous writer some day, so that these what they have done to him.
 When the third of his inamoratas becomes engaged, and studious
 young man develops a sudden in
 terest in Fay, the susceptible Bowen
 finds to his amazement that he is
 jealous of Fay's friend.
 An amicable old southern gentle man of Tallahatchee. who has been interested in the possibilities of Fay's voice, dies and leaves her legacy sufficient to pay the expenses of her training for an operatic career. Fay goes off to study-to New York and to Paris.
 Bowen, meantime, has lost his mother. His sister has eloped with
 a ne'er-do-w well, and his father. a bankrupt, removes to another city. Bowen alone remains in Tallahatchee, forlorn and discouraged. Ultimately
 it is the ugly duckling, Fay, who
 returns to the old home town

crowned with the glory of high ac- complishment, as Bowen once had hoped to return. She is no longer ugly, but a woman of startling dis tinction. And she has forsaken brilliant career because she has heard that Bowen needs her.
 MT Baird's novel is charmingly written. It's pathetic passages are
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-09

free of pathos. and its humor is natural and unforced. MT. Baird is one of the few novelists who have succeeded in the attempt to depict the traits of character that so dis tinguish the southerner from the northerner. It is significant, too, that the book has scored a heavy sale in the north.
