EXTRA CARS
ARE PUT ON
FOR SHOPPERS
Special Holiday Service in
Effect Today on Central
Avenue Lines.
ADD TO OTHER ROUTES
Patrons Will Benefit From
8 to a. O'clock Under
New Plan.

Extra service for holiday shop
pers was started today by the In
dianapolis Street Railway Company
on the Central avenue line and will
be in force on all lines by next
Wednesday, James P. Tretton, gen.
eral superintendent, announced to-
day.
The holiday rush struck the Cen
trail line first this year. The extra
service will be put on Illinois, Col
lege, Washington, East Michigan,
and East Tenth lines by Monday,
the smaller lines being taken care
of between then and Wednesday as
rapidly as the added traffic de-
mandS.
Bus service also will be aug
mented.
Service From to
The shopper service runs from 8
a. m. to p. m. Enough extra cars,
to give four minute intervals be-
tween cars, instead of the regular
five to Six-minute spaces ordinarily
in force, were put on the Central
line today. The regular rush hour
service in the morning and after
4 in the evening remains in force
on all lines.
BY Monday Illinois patrons will
have 3-minute service between 8
and 4; College, 8 minutes; Wash
ington, 4 minutes; East Michigan,
minutes; and East Tenth, 6 min
utes. The smaller lines will have
correspondingly increased service.
BY the middle of next week, ap-
proximately 100 or more cars than
normally will be operated between
and 4, Joe Ryce, supervisor of
schedules, estimated.
1.-THE shop early crusade Ger
tainly has taken hold in Indianap-
oils" said Ryce. IT have been
watching street car traffic during
the Christmas season twenty-five
years.
Rush Spreads Out
I'm the old days we never felt the
rush until about two days before
Christmas and then it was terrible.
We simply couldn't handle the
crowds.
For the last few years, however,
the rush has been spread over such
a long period that We comfortably
could handle everybody. The crowds
are not so much heavier the last
day before Christmas than at the
beginning Of the rush, and we can
handle the people right"
Tretton urged housewives to ar
range their shopping trips 50 they
could leave home after 8 a. m. and
leave the business district before
p. m, thereby avoiding the dis
comfort of the rush hours and help
ing downtown workers by not add
ing to the evening traffic.

LIFE TERM FOR
Mother OF ten
Woman Is Given Limit on
Liquor Charge.
BIZ United Press

By united Press
LANCING, Mich, Dec. 13.-Mrs.
Eta Mae Miller, mother of ten chill
dren, was convicted the fourth
time Wednesday for selling liquor
and under the Michigan habitual
criminal code must go to prison
for life.
1t was the first time since enact
ment of the state habitual criminal
law that woman was made to take
such a severe sentence for violating
the prohibition law.
She is the second person to re-
ceive a life sentence for four liquor
offenses with no other convictions.
Charlie Trip, a Flint bootlegger,
now is serving a life term in Mar
quette prison.
They found me guilty, but I'm
not guilty" Mrs. Miller protested
when the verdict was read. "An
they had for it was Knappe's and
Eastman's word"
Knappe and Eastman were the
police officers who caused her ar
rest.
Mrs. Miller commended the police
were trying to railroad her to
prison for life for something she
didn't do"
Since her third conviction, she
charged, police constantly bounded
her and when they couldn't impli-
cate her in fourth felony, used
the trumped-up liquor charge"

Some plan to keep people sepa-

tinues. Weather conditions are I'M
favorable. Folks get out and exer-

it is warm weather. They catch
cold and unless proper precaution
is taken, influenza or pneumonia
results. What we need most is a

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Seven
IN years ago, Betty Meehan
danced in FollieS chorus. In odd
hours, along with other ladies Of
the ensemble" she boosted her in
come by playing extra roles at a
Long Island film factory.
The other day, Miss Elizabeth
Meehan, who still could pass the
r 9ticulous muster of any music
show producer, both for face and
figure, came back to Manhattan
with the prize scalps Of scenario
land dangling from her sinuouS
waist.
Only a few intimates had
known that the Betty Meehan of
the chorus was the Elizabeth Nee
han whose name could be found
on such super-productionS as
Beau Geste," "Sorrel and Son"
and 1.-THE Great Gatsby;;" the
same Elizabeth Meehan who had
been selected to adapt to screen
form the great Conrad epic, 1.-THE
Rescue" and who now holds con-
ferences with Fannie Hurst on
the screen version of "Lummox"
In other words, Betty Meehan,
of the chorus, has become one
of the four or five outstanding
ScenariStS of the moment. Which
is doing rather well for a chlorine
and an extra girl.
MISS MEEHAN, to the con-
N1 trary, is quite astounded to
find that any one should consider
her rise exceptional.
ooh yes, know that chorines
have the reputation of being
beautiful but dumb" she began.
"And, perhaps, some of them are.
But you'd be surprised at the
girls you'll find in the choruses.
I'm my chorus group were, for
instance, Billie Dove-whose iden-
tity needs no establishment;
there was Alta King, who married
Edward Royce, the playwright
and producer; there was Gladys
Bowie, who now has fortune in
/ her name and figures in Manhat-
tan society; there was Janet Ma
grue, who became a star of the
London stage; and there was
Emily Orange, who married Lynn
Overman, celebrated actor-writer.

Few Deaths in State

BIZ United Press
Seemingly equally as contagious
but not nearly so fatal as the 1918
epidemic, the present influenza
wave still was spreading in Indiana
today.
From throughout the state there
came reports of persons i'll with the
disease but only in Isolated cases
were there deaths.
The most alarming report was
from Marion, where 1t was esti-
mated that more than 5000 persons
are suffering from the disease.
Many schools in the Marion dis
trict were closed and other pre-
cautionary measures taken.
In Berne, almost 125 pupils were
absent from schools and factories,
business houses and churches felt
the effect of the disease.
Warsaw reported 300 cases and
that number was given as a con-
serVative estimate. Two deaths and
almost 100 cases were reported from
Plymouth.
Charlottesville reports said APP
proximately 400 we're suffering
from the disease and Seymour Of
ficials said the number of those
afflicted would run close to 300.
Greensburg reported only about
fifty cases.
Optimistic reports came from
Washington, Bluffton, Decatur,
Bloomington, and Connersville. All
said nothing serious"
Knox county seemed unusually
clear of the disease, but precaution-
airy measures were taken.
Wabash college, De Paw univer-
sity and Culver military academy
took precautions against the disease.
Culver has closed early for the
Christmas vacations as did Wabash,
and De Paw officials have taken
steps to prevent spread of the
disease.
The Calumet district continued to
report additional light cases. Schools
are hampered by the disease but
there are few cases.

DEFORE we turn the historians
- loose to tell us of Tyler's kid
neys and the blood pressure of An
Grew jackson we should have to
agree on a definition of health. I
rather think that President Cool
idge confuses good health with abb
sence of ailments, and I am not
ready to admit that they are the
same thing.
The Progressive party drew its
nickname from the fact that Col.
Roosevelt, when asked as to the
state of his health, once remarked,
st feel like bull moose" doubt
if Calvin Coolidge has ever reached
any such state of sylvan estacy. He
has been content to chew the cud of
much more placid moods.
From the point of view Of any
life insurance company the Coolidge
type is much the better risk. But
not all Of us care to live in such a
way as to die with every policy paid
up.

Have They Got Fun?

CALVIN COOLIDGE may have
~ had better health than any
other president of America, but I
doubt if he has had as much fun.
Naturally the voters do not elevate
men to that high Office to the end
that they shall be amused.
Of all our presidents I imagine
that only one has actually qualified
as superb athlete. We know that
Washington could ride and shoot
and that he had an arm which
might have won him place in the
big leagues.
AS a matter of fact, William
Howard Taft cannot be neglected in
speaking of athletic presidents. At
the top of his game he was easily
the best White House golfer. Once
in a match with Walter J. Travis he
went around Hyoha in an even
score of 100 and that's not at all bad
for Republican.

More Than Health

4 ND in the life OF every man
4 n there must come some time
when it is up to him to decide
whether health is the most '1por-
tant factor in the world CT whether
there are other values more impress
Sive.
Woodrow Wilson was called upon
to make such decision. And when
the call came he proudly broke his
heart to fight for the League Of Ma
tons in which he believed.
Indeed the regime of Calvin Cool
idge, while shrewdly conceived, is
not of the sort to fire the magma
ton.
my ability to keep WE'LL" he ex-
plains, has not been due to par
ticularly robust constitution or any
extraordinary efforts in physical ex-
ercise. My habits have been reg
ular. It is seldom that have been
late at meal time and I have
avoided keeping late hours"
Curiously enough Coolidge neg

which sound more pleasureable than
short city walks and wild forays
with vibrating machines.
Surely he is net nmindful of the
fact that fishing is exercise of a
sort. Always I have wondered
whether his piscatorial pursuits were
an indulgence or mere political
propaganda.
Grover Cleveland was among the
first of the Presidents to discover
that votes can be gained by angling
and that I believe was wholly acct
dental. No one has ever questioned
the fact he took an honest delight
in the practice.
The latest pictures of Coolidge
after Virginia quail do not suggest
that he was having a particularly
good time and it is not entirely
mean to suggest that he was more
mindful of solidifying a brand
snatched from the Solid South than
procuring testimonials as to his
skill at craftsmanship.

New Song Hit, '0rchidS,' Is
Written as Tribute to
AShtoreth AShe.

Ashtoreth Ashe, heroine of The
Times thrilling new serial, Orchid, -
now famed in story, will be honored
also in song by one of Indiana's
greatest song writers-Charlie
Davis of the Indiana theater.
Davis has written a song already
acclaimed by publishers as one Of
the years big musical hits and he
has christened it orchids" as u
special tribute to the Orchid Girl
of The Times serial. The song, to be
placed on sale here and in all other
principal cities of the nation within
few days, will be played by

Torrance at the Indiana theater for
the next week, starting Saturday.
"The Orchid Girl of The Times
serial was so different, so fascinat-
ing, that she was a positive inspira-
ton to me, the farther I read in an
advance copy of the story given to
me-" said Davis. 80 sat down
and dashed off the song-and, all
egotism aside, I believe it's one OF
the best things I've done. I believe
the music-loving population of In
dianapolis will agree with me, when
they hear it played at the Indiana"
Davis is the author of "COpen-

number hits of the last decade,
played probably by more dance
