THE CHRISTMAS
DEADLINE

7HIEF RIKHOFF has
IL ordered police to arrest on
sight all known shoplifters,
pickpockets, and similar crooked
gentry found in the downtown re-
tail district between now and
Christmas. Annually this crooks
deadline is established to protect
holiday shoppers.
Consequently Indianapolis crooks
who haven't done their Christmas
shopping early will have to do it
by mail or telephone. Downtown
the police will give them Yuletide
greetings with slave bracelets.
The Christmas deadline to re-
strain professional dips and the
light-fingered artists who operate
in crowds is fine idea.
It's annoying to an honest
citizen starting on an annual
shopping orgy with long gift list
and a fat wallet to have the
latter-the real life of the party
snatched by an agile crook. It's
bad enough to have Santa Claus
get 1t all eventually but to lose it
all at once to a picketpocket
knocks the merry Christmas spirit
cold.
In the three years the holiday
deadline system has been in effect
here there has been a material de-
crease in the purse snatchings.
shoplifting and similar activities
that ordinarily mark the season.
Apparently the scheme of drawing
an imaginary line around the
downtown district and telling the
crooks they shall not pass actually
works.
If the crooks can be thus easily
kept at bay for a season, by off,
cial proclamation. 1t would be a
clever idea for the police depart
ment to pretend every day is
Christmas and establish the dead
line at the city limits.

crime comparable to parricide.
How do they get that way?
Grange hasn't changed. He is
the same modest, honest, clean liv-
ing, clean playing young man.
The only difference is that where
formerly he received only applause
when he raced through a broken
field for a touchdown now he does
the same thing for salary and a

is that shameful, villainous and
sinful?

WATER AND
PRAYER

ca HEN the First A M. 70.
M/l Church of Gary caught fire
w the other morning just as
people were assembling for serv-
ices, the congregation knelt in the
snow before the blazing edifice and
prayed and sang hymns. The ef-
feet of the fire was negligible.
Eventually the flames were ex-
tinguished-but not by troops OF
angels, with their halos in their
hands, Fastening earthward in re-
sponse to the alarm. Three COM
panies Of very earthly, tobacco
chewing Gary firemen threw water
on the conflagration for two hours
and subdued the flames.
Prayer is no doubt efficacfous in
many of the trials and emergencies
of life. However, personal suppl
cation for divine intercession to
control the elements of nature
fire, water and wind-generally
prove unavailing.
A couple Of months ago many
parts of the country were suffer
ing unprecedented drought. In sew
eral localities public fasting and
prayers were offered for rain.
In Indianapolis, where the heat
wave and the drought were acute,
no special prayers for relief were
offered. People pursued their
usual wicked ways, the bandits
functioned. and community life
followed its customary course.
Nevertheless rain came in time
and has been coming ever since.
South Carolina, where by guber-
material proclamation, a day was
set apart for statewide fasting and
prayer didn't get relief from the
drought until days later than the
Hoosier metropolis.
Rain falls, or is withheld, with
out much reference to the wishes
of specific localities. Fire as read =

WANTS ROXIE "AS IS."
Writer Objects to Any Effort to
Cramp His Style.

To the Editor of The Star:
Please allow me TO enter my pro.
test against the criticism of "Roxie"
in Tuesdays Star. ! am not young
woman, but one who celebrated my
45th wedding anniversary last week;
nevertheless ] am not tco old to like
Roxie as he is-or rather as he was
before last Sunday nights program.
1t could easily be seen there was a
difference and not for the better. No
one can do his best when handicapped
by criticism. We all like him best in
his natural role, and hope that the,
ban on his own particular style of
entertaining us--and which we enjoy
so much--will soon be lifted. His
critics should consider the great good
he has done, and the joy he has given
TO our boys in the past few months
rather than insist upon too much
dignity in our Sunday night pro-
grams that we all look forward TO.
We have first class announcers and
l have no fault whatever to find with
any of them. nor do i object to any OF
the many dignified programs, for they
all fill their particular sphere-but
please lease our Roxie alone; we like
him just as he is.

DECISION JUDGE RITCHIE
 IN THE LOCAL LIGHT CASE

Following the opinion delivered in the district count yesterday, an or der was entered today in the Sew ard electrict light case continuing the case for further hearing and d!' recting that the interlocutory in- junction restraining the enforce ment of Ordinance No. 78 be dis solved after September 30, thus per hitting the rates fixed by the ordi- nance to go into effect October 1.
 Judge Ritchie stated in his oral opinion yesterday that he though it would be unfair to MT. Graf to put the lower rates provided in the ordinance into effect during the light months when the consumption of current is low. Continuing the in- junction until October 1, allows the stipula tion for the 15 cent meter rate to continue until that date. This stipulation was made last fall by the attorneys for the City and the Light company to continue dur ing the life of the temporary in- junction, as test of the probable in- come from the meter system just es- tablished for the first time in Sew ard.
 Judge Ritchie intimated his opin- ion that Seward should have a com plete meter system of street lighting controlled by a switch in some city office and that the city ought to have a special rate for it's street lights to encourage extensive street illumination. He said he thought also that the city should pay the ex- pense of installing the meter sys- tenn of street lighting but that was matter for the city and the light company to settle because courts cannot make contracts for parties. It can only construe and enforce them when legally made, or abrogate them when illegal
 The court then repeated what had already been stated in discussing the testimony, that the sole issue in the case just tried was the ques ton whether the town council had violated Mr. Graff's constitutional right of protection of his property against interference that would pre- vent his obtaining fair and req sonable return for his investment and service to the public. This would amout to confiscation as claimed bu Mr. Graf had failed to show tha such would be the effect of the or dinance rates.

DIRECTOR FEARS TOO
 MANY LAUGHS IN FILM

Production work on "The Gallop- ing Fish" Thomas H. Ince's new comedy special, had just been con- pleted. The comedy troupe heaved a sigh and were packing up makeup boxes when Director Del Andrews, sitting on a brown study on one of the stages, suddenly came to life.
 Call all the company together" :" he ordered, deeply thoughtful frowns creasing his brow. The troupe came hurrying at his call.
 Andrews glowered at them. The company shivered. Something was wrong. The last laugh evidently had gone wrong.
 'I've been thinking this thing over" said Andrews sternly. We've got too many laughs in this picture, I'm afraid. Has anyone any suggestions for cutting out some of the laughs We're apt to get in trouble by eX- hausting the audience before the pie ture is half over. It isn't possible to keep them roaring all the time"
 The company sighed in relief and walked out on him without an an. swer But Andrews was in earnest and it wasn't until he had several conferences with Ince that he was satisfied he hadn't filmed too many

 "The Galloping Fish" is said to be the fastest and funnist comedy of the season. A typical Ince all-star cast, including Louise Fazenda, Syd Chap lin, Ford Sterling and a trained seal to play the title role will be seen.
