NO MEAN POLITICS

IL. Myers Starts With Good Iltentlons
EV7ALTER MYERS enters the contest for
w the Democrats nomination for mayor
with a statement that indicates laudable am
billions If he can, as mayor, carry them out
memory Of the present generation has sue
ceeded in doing.
Myers said in his statement
"My first endeavor will be to give an
honest administration, with efficient, compe-
tent and faithful governing boards and off
GERS No outsider will sit as an extraordinary
member of any board, whispering the orders
Of politician into the ears of public servants;
nor will the personnel or activities of the
police, or any other branch of the department
Of public safety be determined by persons
whom the voters never chose. City officials are
servants and not masters of those who select
them, and no one by self-appointment can as
sumo to speak with the peoples voice"
If Walter Myers should become mayor and
should be the servant of the people and not of
the particular politicians to whom he would
owe in great measure his success, he would
be an outstanding exception.
Virtually every mayor of Indianapolis
has had his man or group of men behind the
throne Lew Shank has his Bill Armitage and
Charles w. Jewett had his Indianapolis News,
to cite the two most recent examples Every
mayor Indianapolis ever had owed his allegi-
ance to scGae particular special interest.
Every one to a greater or lesser extent has
served this interest.
This is not necessarily reflection on the
men themselves. 1t is a reflection on the po-
litical system which has no business in munich
pal politics. The running of city is bust
ness. Until it is put on business basis, the
mayor, whoever he may be, will play political
game.
Myers may have, and undoubtedly does
have, good Intentions But he will have to be
a super-man if he carries them out

Half Holiday
BY Hal Cochran

When Saturday noon comes. a lot
Of folks stop In the work they've
been doing all week. Ambition and
vigor and vim go kerfiop, and they
take on a lazylike streak. The
half a day off is a bully fine thing
and we plan what Wen do all week
long. There's this and there's that
that real pleasure would bring. but
how often the planning goes wrong.
On Monday and Tuesday and
Wednesday we fret. Oh, the rest
can't come any too. soon. On Thurs
day and Friday. as closer we get,
we still long for Saturday noon.
The half day Off we are anxious
to cop. for we kinda just feel that
wen siirk. ;And. by the missus,
we're dragged out to shop, which Is
worse than our regular work.

Movie Verdict

"Charley's Aunt"-This mer-
ry old farce turns the trick
for sgd Chaplin by giving him
a knockout of a hit. One of
the best laugh getters the
screen has ever had. At the
Circle.

Paris''-Not much Of a story
but dress parade will make
the Ohio a mecca for women
all week Living models wear
new gowns from Kinks as an
additional feature to the bill.
At the Ohio.
Excuse Me"-Made from the
stage farce OF the same name.
Becomes melodramatic at
times which rather takes the
element of farce out Of the
theme. At the Apollo.

FIRE WASTE
PRIZES

TIRE CHIEF O'BRIEN re-
r ceived notice Friday that
IL Indianapolis was grand
winner in the 1924 national fire
waste contest conducted by the
United States Chamber of Com
merce.
Two hundred and sixty-five
cities were in the contest and the
winner was determined by low fire
loss per capita during the year.
In 1923 Indianapolis had the best
record in it's population class-in
1924 the best of all competing
cities.
OF course the award is crafty
ing to fire department officials. L
also initiates civic pride. But 1t is
more than an empty honor.
Reduction In fire losses means
ultimately lower insurance rates.
The latter do not tread hard on
the heels Of the former with un-
seemly haste-insurance compan-
les lower rates with reluctant and
stately deliberation-but they
eventually appear.
To the average citizen owning
only a hatfult of furniture and
other domestic goods few cents
reduction in fire insurance rates
is inconsequential To large prop
erty owners and industries, how
ever, 1t is important.
Insurance, tax, light, freight and
other rates that prowl abroad may
only annoy individual householders
but they make or break cities,
They are determining factors in
location of factories and large
enterprises.
The achievement of Indianapolis
In fire prevention may be more
effective in attracting new indus
tries than an aroused civic spirit
and gallons of perfervid oratory.

MAGIC AND
ERRANT HUSBANDS

FRS. PEARL LANE, Central
Ml Ave, wanted to get back
IL her husband. who had left
her. She consults medium, who
claimed to be able through occult
powers to return the errant knave
for a cash consideration.
The bereft wife paid over SEATS
but the spouse wasn't delivered
per contract. Apparently the me-
dium's spirit controls--Little An
ME. Eaglefeather and the rest
went to sleep on the job. Conse.
quently Saturday she was hailed
into court by her client on a grand
larceny charge.
A medium usually falls down
thus when asked to exert her
psychic powers on any little prac.
teal job.
Occult forces are willing to ring
bells, jiggle tables, rap out inane
messages from Plato, Shakespeare,
or the babes in the woods, but they
scorn useful pursuits. They won't
find a stray husband or a lost col
lar button.
Garden variety husbands, some.
what SCARED and blemished, are
not hard to get. Nor are they
hard to keep after they have been
dried, sailed and laid away in
matrimony.
But something more substantial
than magic or neciomancy must
be employed. Husbands are more
attuned to gastronomic than to
psychic phenomena.
An apple pie like mothers Groom
ing to itself in the oven or golden
brown waffies smiling at break
fast will hold them when a house
full of psychic powers and stable
of spirit controls won't.

syn CHAPLIN USES FORMULA
THAT HAS NEVER FAILED

There seems to be formula on
the stage that when one is in doubt
just present "Charley's Aunt"
sgd Chaplin did not cause much
of splash in the movie world until
he produced "Charley's Aunt"
Here is a stage play that is as
old as the hills and has existed for
about thirty-three years on the
stage. 1t has probably been acted
more times than any other play.
Before seeing "Charley's Aunt" at
the Circle with sgd Chaplin as the
impersonator Of the sweet old dame
''who came from Brazil where the
nuts grow" was informed that
this was the funniest farce in forty
years. Well. it has been considered
about that on the stage for about
as many years.
There are only few genuine
farces on the stage that are sue
cesses. The movie opens as slowly
as the stage version. but that 1t

fully true high notes turned loose
in one concert as this singer hurled
at the audience without any visible

Der were enough to cause the audi
ence to break out in honest and sud-
den applause. My favorite Bruins
wick record of this artist is the
Blue Danube" number. Here is
a pretty tonal fabric that becomes
as light as a moonbeam by the treat
ment OF this singer.
The unusual thing about this
singer is that she reaches the high
est notes with nc apparent effort.
She doesn't sway ana struggle on
the stage. She just sings as though
she understood that she was a great
vocal engineer who knows just
what throttle to pull to get GER
tain results.
And yet her singing does not ap-
pear to be restricted by the ele-
ment OF being over-studied. She
knows her music, the theme and is
always the chief engineer when It
comes time to turn on the vocal
fireworks.
