GASOLINE

TNDIANA filling stations

Standard Oil Qndiana) made the
increase in the eleven States in
which it operates. And. as usual,
the other companies in the
territory fell in line without a
struggle.
Spring can't be FAR behind-no
matter what the ground hog said.
For a boost IN gas price is TO the
motorist an unfailing harbinger
Of spring.
The advance. say the oil men, is
due to declining output of-and
higher prices paid for-crude oil.
The memorable working of the law
of supply and demand.
The wicked oil trust was hacked
to pieces years ago by the Supreme
Court. But apparently the frag-
ments of the critter and their
competitors don't know the bloom
ing thing is dead. It's soul goes
marching on setting prices and
making more profit than ever.

Stopping Smoke

TR7 ERHAPS an appeal to the pocketbooks Of
1t coal users would be effective in stopping
the smoke nuisance in Indianapolis Protests
of citizens with blackened collars and blacker
lungs have had little effect.
H. F. Templeton, city smoke inspectors
points out that the Indianapolis school city
saved $4,000 of its fuel bill after installing
smoke consumers He estimated that 25, per
cent could be saved through the burning Of
smoke. ~

are more effective than appeals based on public.

GLAD HE DIDN'T
ROB BANK

RIFT JoNGBRAKE,
I'M formerly Of FIT. Wayne, ar
0 rested in Cleveland when
police found shotgun, revolver,
shells and rope in his automobile,
told detectives he had planned to
rob a bank at Ligonier. Ind. The
arrest baked the scheme.
And he thanks fate, II am glad
my plans were frustrated he
says. Somebody might have been
killed. And / have a wife and four
children 70 look after"
There's the cue to pass him a
large helping Of syrupy sympathy,
for few glycerine tears, dimmed
lights and slow music. The poor
man with wife and four children
was barely rescued from bank rob
berry.
But If that was the way he felt
about the affair, why did he spend
time planning the enterprise, en-
rolling accomplices, and arranging
details? The project was born in
his own mind; he wasn't forced
into it unwhlingly. And until his
arrest he didn't worry about the
possible effects Of the robbery on
his wife and four children.
1t seems to be the fashion with
our modern criminals to feel that
they are not really to blame for
their misdeeds. that they mean
well and are simply the victims
of circumstances beyond their con-
troll. The old hard-boiled crook
who was a crook because he
wanted to be was at least refresh
ing in his candor. Now the bandit
adopts the attitude, II have got to
rob bank, and. gosh, how I hate
to do it."

Eddie Cantor, Comedian, Talks on Stage;
Reasons for Success of The First Year

f-7HE stage is one Of the greatest
I'm educational factors in the
country today, is the belief Of
Eddie Cantor, star Of F'lorenz Zieg-
fields kid Boots" at English,s
next week.
THE stage is more than a show
window" states Mr.. Cantor, 1T is a
reflection Of life itself. The plots,
the characters. the scenes-al COM
bine to portray life and various fea-
lures Of life that are unfamiliar and
unknown to the vast majority of
persons.
"A certain scene may depict a doc
tors office. How many people are
familiar with the interior and with
the working utensils of a physicians
office? Certainly, not everyone.
Again, it may be the study room of a
lawyer, or the interior OF q bakery
or a stock brokers' retreat. All wide
" divergent. of course. but all nee
essary to thorough understanding
and knowledge Of life.
I'm the matter Of scenic detail.
Mr.. Ziegfeld is very insistent upon
thoroughness and accuracy as well
as upon artistry and beauty. In adj
dition to styles, modes and fashions,
the stage teaches the more 'prosaic
and commonplace things, and. best
of all. it gives the theater-goers an
opportunity to witness in the land
of make-believe, the beauties and de.
lights of countries and places other
than their own.
I'm conclusion, might say that
it is my belief that the stage offers
more educational opportunities than
books or reading, and certainly more
than are found anywhere else out
side of universities and colleges"

LOOK HER
OVER

@qEV. EDWARD II. KIST-
TX | LER, indianapolis preach
err. speaking at the Y. M.
c. A. the other evening, advised
young men about to commit ma
trimony to study carefully the
health, mentality and personality
of their prospective wives.
Pay her q visit when she isn't
expecting you" he counselled.
''See how she looks and acts.
Open your ears to what her little
brother says. They have a line on
the girl that you can't have during
the days Of courtship."
Sound advice. But what young
man with reason dethroned by
what he calls love is in condition
to Investigate and analyze The
maiden of his choice with cool
logic? What has logic to do with
marrying anyway?
If a young man is expected to
be so discreet and inquiring be-
fore paying the first installment
on wedding ring there is equal
reason for the girls to be cautious
and inquisitive about the young
man. She should look him UP to
see whether he is solid gold o.
just cheap plate. Is he house
broken? Can lie nurse a furnace,
earn a living and wash dishes?
According to reports from
seventy-five out Of 1iinasy-two
Hoosier counties four times as
many wives were granted divorces
last year as husbands. So appar
emily more husbands prove UNI
satisfactory than wives. Which
argues that girls should make
careful investigation before she
begins to hum "Here come the
bride"
But If they really start this
mutual Investigation habit, Cupid
will be frozen in his tracks. Mar
riages will become eminently sane,
proper-and scarce. For it's a
rare youth or maid who doesn't
conceal few knobby faults. The
surprising thing. is that so many
marry, without rhyme or reason
and on rose tinted trust, and live
happily ever after. 1t isn't logical.
