IF YOU WANT THRILLS

You probably will ask me first,

And I will tell you that this movie
is the most shocking" thing I have
ever seen on the screen.
Not shocking from the standpoint
of being indecent but 1t is the best
delivered package of thrills and
screams 1 have ever run up against
in a movie theater.

mate stage. but If the dramatic YER

screen dose, then | would be shocked

doctors and then starts out making

that he can cause the soul of a man

the place of the soul Of woman.
Nice pleasant little thought. So
the mad doctor gets his crazy assist

finally three tumble into the trap.
Then the weird business starts. The

M- can think of no more devil
ish torture than connu
bum" says Mr.. Godfrey
Eaton, who naturally would hail
from New York. In case you do not
exactly follow, he goes on to explain
that to him marriage is just about
as nice as being boiled in OIL" In
other words, no wedding bells for
Godfrey.
And who is this Eaton person?
Well, he is another New Yorker who
has written a book, become a lit
erary critic and a cynic.
Mr.. Eaton is very emphatic in his
assertion that matrimony Is too
should live his own life unhampered
by wifely attention. He says that
mans work is always of far greater
Importance than his wife, and he
can't bear the idea of having some
body around all the time claiming
he did not mention it. we surmise
that he would like to have his money
equally exempt.
Now, everybody who longs to
marry Mr.. Eaton will please rise.
The lad is safe. If he does not want
to get married. there is no law in
the land that can compel him to do
so, and as long as he can employ
the services of good American de-
tectives, we see no reason why he
should be dragged to the altar.
Mr.. Eaton probably belongs to the
growing crowd of rising literati who
simply must express themselves
through their individuality. and who
cannot be smothered by family ties.
and whose genius is of such fragile
texture that the slightest pressure
would crack II 10 bits.
Perhaps his soul, too, cries out for
the Infinite and gropes for the IN
attainable and is as sensitive to the
nuances of hampering conventions

The apparatus to be used at the

What the bureau does is to mea-
sure the force of attraction which
two large steel balls exert upon

We know that the attraction ex-
erted by the earth is the force Of
gravity. Therefore the ratio of the
force of gravity to the force exerted
by the steel balls on the gold balls
must be the same as the ratio of the
weight of the earth to that of the
steel balls.
All that is necessary, then. is to
weigh the steel balls and from that

ATTRACTING
NEW INDUSTRIES

THE industries COMMITTEES Of
the Indianapolis Chamber
of Commerce. is endeavor-
ing to secure location in the city
of a branch plant of the Chevro-
let Motor Car Company. 1t is re-
ported that automobile manufac.
turing company contemplates es-
adjustment of number of
branches and decentralization Of
its activities.
OF course Indianapolis would
welcome the acquisition Of any
new industrial enterprise. The
more the merrier, for civic pros
perity depends on industrial pay
rolls.
But what's the use of attracting
new industries to the city OF those
already here are to be treated like
unloved stepchildren?
While the Chamber of Com
merce eagerly pursues the fantasy
of a Chevrolet assembly plant in
Indianapolis, the city administra-
ton views with indifference the
possibility of losing the Ford
branch plant because of its arbi-
trary refusal to close Oriental St,
in connection with the Pennsyl-
vania track elevation project.
OF course a sacred principle may
be involved in the board of works
determination to keep Oriental
ST. open even though the action
inconveniences and perhaps drives
from the city a large industrial
plant. But the principle isn't visi-
BILE to the disinterested byetander.
The elevation program provides
that adjacent streets on either side
Of Oriental will be opened under
the tracks. These will suffice for
traffic needs regardless of whether
Oriental-now dead-end street
is open or closed. The same
naughty board. that insists on
keeping Oriental ST. open, plans
to close nineteen streets on the
south side in the Belt line eleva-
ton program.
Almost all of the nineteen are as
important from the standpoint of
traffic as Oriental If public in
terest demands the opening of the
latter thoroughfare. why doesn't
is demand the opening of those
nineteen south side streets?
There is the answer to the ques-
ton. what is the matter with Indi-
annapolis industrially?
The Chamber of Commerce and
civic organizations beat the bushes
for new enterprises while naughty
municipal officials unnecessarily
harry enterprises already here. As
result local industry doesn't

Brainstorrn Insurance

TT DISTINGUISHED Russian danseuse having
.lAI Just insured the shapely tools OF her
trade for $15O,0O0, an idea should occur to the
bricklayers and plasterers of our fair land II
legs may thus be insured, why not brains? The
idea that bricklayers and plasterers should
take out brainstorm insurance on their national
union leaders.
These national leaders have walked right
up to the verge of a country strike call
They have only Withdrawn at the last moment
from purpose to tie up building activities all
over the United States. Not because of wages,
hours or conditions Of work. Not because OF
a dispute with employers But because OF
dispute with another.
A row within the ranks of labor over the
proper union jurisdiction of bricklayers and
plasterers working in boom towns of Florida
was to be the justification for throwing down
tools from Maine to California. Not much
head work in that Nothing that outside enc
mics Of ORGANIZED labor could do in lifetime
would work more harm to the labor movement.
Fortunately this disturbance passed with
out actual damage to any one, but If cyclone
insurance can be made to apply to brainstorms
the bricklayers and plasterers had better be
laying it in Even though, for those particL
lar leaders the premium rate may be high.

VAGRANCY
MADE EASY

T1OBERT ALLEN, New
Xxi York youth, pas sed through
~ indianapolis recently, Tn
route home from California. He
is cumming his way. begging
rides from soft-hearted motorists
so successfully that he has ridden
almost all of the way from Los
Angeles to Indianapolis.
Some generous motorists not
only gave him a lift but bought
his meals.
OF course he thinks it is great
lark. and would resent being
classed with the tattered, home
less. dirty hoboes who steal rides
on freight trains and are chased
out of town by village constables.
But he is not one whit better than
those bedraggled buns.
He is one of that increasing
genus of pests-the automobile
tramp. Generous drivers have
made vagrancy easy. On every
main highway such vags are en-
countered begging lifts from pass
ing cars The practice is becom-
ing a nuisance, but will continue
so long as motorists allow them
selves to be imposed upon.
If passing motorists would re-
fuse to pick them up, blistered
feet would soon extinguish the
automobile tramps. That would
be desirable. The young fellow
who travels across country beg
ging rides is encouraged &c be-
lieve the world owes him a living.

Knight O. the
Night
BY Hal Cochran

What has become of the dapper
young fellow who once sang a song
to his love? What has become of
the mandolin mellow that strummed
meath a window above?
Once was the day when the
Knight of the night to the court
yard Of castles would go There he
would sing to his hearts fond de-
light in refrain that was sweetlike
and low.
Moons used to shine from the skies
up above, throwing rays that would
light up the scene where Knights
of the night gaily chanted of love
to sweet little balcony queen.
How things can change as the
world rolls along. The dapper young
fellow Of old has switched to lad
who is shy of the song in which
loves sweetest stories are told.
Cut and dried business has ousted
romance, ii he present-day story be
told Now you will find that the
strain that man chants is his love
song to silver and gold.

ing birth rate in this country. The
race faces extinction, claim pes
simists. Certainly large families
are becoming less common.
But the Importance of a high
birth rate is exaggerated. 1t is
not the number Of babies born,
but the number that live to ma
turity that is important from the
racial standpoint. When large
families were the rule the major
ity of babies died in infancy. Now
nearly all babies grow up to be
bandits or useful members of So
ciety.
The work of the world is done
by adults. Every year added to
the span of the average adult life
