IND USTRIAL NE WIS
STREET CAR LINES
ARE VITAL TO CITY

transportation viii be of more i'm
portance to him.
In fact, it is hard to see how
the life of a great city like In
dianapoliS could go on without
street car and bus transportation.
1t is therefore to the interest of
the entire population that the street
cars be operated frequently, safely
and cheaply.
This in turn means that the rev.
enue must be adequate to maintain
the service. Few street car sys-
TENS earn their way nowadays.
Either they must be helped by di-
rect subsidy, as is done some cities,
or they must have higher fares than
were sufficient few years ago.
When revenues drop, only one re-
course is left-the service must
drop with it. If the dropping
process continues, there arrives a
time when service is inadequate.
To the person who travels by auto
mobile that may make no difference
in a month, but it will make a great
difference if continued over any
length of time.
Hence it would seem that for the
benefit of the entire public there
must be some means devised for in
creased street car travel. Fortu-
nately the innate good sense of the
American people is coming to the
rescue, as it has in many other in
stances.
People are finding that the bus
and the street car are far more
economical in the long run than the
automobile for one person. Stats
tics show that it costs from s to 10
cents to run an automobile a mile,
while the average bus fare and
street car fare rarely is over 2
cents mile.
Then there are the trouble and
expense of parking, the danger and
the wear upon one in driving in
congested streets. 1t is evident that
street car riding is going to come
back into more general use, and.
as suggested above, the good sense
OF the American people will save
this essential to city life from the
necessity of public operation at
greater expense to taxpayers.

ID APPEARANCE of state Sen
IN ator Lee J. Hartzell, of TT
Wayne, upon the political stage at
this time, with a weekend party
for senate members, again has
focused the attention Of observers
upon the man who would rather
be state senator than right"
According to announcements the
Turkey Run party was sponsored by
Hartzell and his close friend and as
sociate, Austin Stultz, Fl. Wayne
insurance lobbyist.
From all indications, Stultz was
the chief of the lobbyists during the
last session. 1t takes a good lobby
list to have his secretary appointed
as stenographer to the gavel WELD
err of the senate, Lieutenant-Gove
nor Ed Bush, and Stultz did that.
Then it also was not unusual for
members Of both houses to receive
printed invitations to parties more
Rabelaisian than esthetic) with
the names Of the president pro
tenn. Of the senate, Hartzell, and the
lobbyist, Stultz, engraved as the CO.
hosts.
IF Republican senators alone had
been invited to the Turkey Run af-
fair, it might have appeared that
the party was a move to stimu-
late interest in Hartzell's reported
ambitions to be the Republican
nominee for Lieutenant Governor,
but evidently this was not the real
purpose.
Some one, supposed to know, has
recalled that during every session
Of the general assembly there is in
augurated a movement to bring the
insurance mortality tables down to
date and that the Indiana life in
surance companies fight this move
ment, for it would mean reduction
in premiums.
Then it is recalled that Stultz is
lobbyist for an Indiana insurance
company which would be affected
in the exchequer-and there is the
possibility of a special session.
SO the various angles are put to-
gether and form a Square-slightly
bent, perhaps-but still square.
n
Incidentally, before signing off,
YOU no doubt know the meaning of
the legislative term roller skater"
A roller skater" is an assembly,
man who glides and sometimes runs
out Of the chamber when vote is
being taken on tickliSh bill, where
there is possibility that she will be
if he does and damned if
he doesn't"
Such bill, for instance, as the
Moorhead measure, giving the pub
lie service. commission authority to
inspect the books of utility holding
companies, which was fought Bit
terly by the utility lobbyists.
Anyhow, Hartzel was known as
the King of the Roller Skaters"
because of his many absences from
the senate chamber when a vote
was being taken on an important
bit of public legislation, the senate
journal reveals.
They tell me that even the utility
lobbyists sometimes were angry
about his gliding ability. But lobby
lists are quite accustomed to this.
Voters are not.

MANY FEATURES
IN NEW ICIERE
PROVE POPULAR
Even Temperature at All
Times Maintained by
Refrigerator.

That American ingenuity, prop
erly applied, can make most any,
thing better, is a truism; that it
has made ice refrigeration 2 lot
better is proved by an examination
of the new Iciere refrigerator sold
by the Polar Ice and Fuel Company,
1000 Northwestern avenue.
In general appearance, probably,
the Iciere would not appear great
ly different from the ordinary good
refrigerator. 1t is tall, occupies
little floor space, and is as glisten-
ing white and Shiny as any of them.
Its fixtures are unusually beautiful,
too. But it is when one examines
the interior design that the real
difference is found.
The Iciere is so built that it can
be supplied with cracked ice, which
not only saves the use of the ice
pick, but permits delivery of ice in
a more sanitary way. This cracked
ice is poured into a basket at the
top of the refrigerator, a basket
which permits circulation of air
all around it and through it when
the ice supply gets low.
Even Temperature Kept
This feature alone tends to keep
the interior Of the refrigerator at a
more even temperature. Warm air
rises. A half degree will keep air
in motion 1t rises to the ice, is
cooled and settles down-juSt
enough circulation to keep the air
sweet, and almost a uniform tenn
perature throughout the refrigerator.
Arrangements are made for a drip
pan that is drained out of the re-
frigerator through an airlock that
does not permit the outside air to
come in. The rest of the space in
the northumberland there is lot
of it's for the storage of food.
This storage takes place where the
air is coldest-under the ice.
But how about cracked ice melt
ing more to keep the same tenn
perature? No, it does not. There
is more ice surface exposed to the
air of the refrigerator, the tenn
perature is kept nearer freezing, and
there is no more melting to hold this
temperature than there would be
from a solid block,
Five Pounds Enough
Tt requires just so much melting
to cool a certain amount of air, and
the shape of the block that is melt
ing may affect the time required to
cool the air, but not the amount of
heat that is absorbed.
But when the ice supply gets low,
the Iciere holds the food just as
cold as when the refrigerator is
filled with ice, until the supply is so
small that it can not cool the air.
If an Iciere could be operated
with five pounds of ice in the basket
all of the time the results would
be just as satisfactory as if it had
seventy-tive pounds, because the
warm air is drawn down through
the cracked ice, is exposed to a
large surface of ice, and coolS just
as satisfactorily.
Parts Are Removable
The Iciere has another fine point.
Everything can be taken out of it
and washed at the kitchen sink
if desired, and the interior can be
cleaned like one might clean the
interior of a bathtub, for instance.
The iciere always can be kept sweet.
No better refrigeration exists than
that accomplished with ice, most
housewives will agree. With the

Cleanliness
Stressed BY
Dairy Firm

Sanitation should be the milk
dealers other name. Some people
have a habit of confounding the
idea of cleanliness with sanitation.
1t is perfectly true that a place can
not be sanitary without being clean,
but it may be clean without being
entirely sanitary. The conscientious
milk dealer, being a purveycr Of
food, will insist on both.
It is this insistence that has made
the Weaver Dairy, 1884 Madison
avenue, so successful in the part of
indianapolis it serves. L. H. Weaver,
the proprietor, believes that no pre-
caution is too great to assure the
purity of the milk and other dairy
products he handles, and he has
equipped his place especially in or
der to carry out his ideas in this
respect.
Special Doors Used
The equipment goes so far.as to
use special doors, so built up from
Eliminated sections that they are
impervious to moisture, and as such
have no hiding place for bacteria or
germ life. The building his dairy
occupies is surrounded by sunlight
on all sides, so that this powerful
antiseptic force enters every room.
The entire dairy is built to make
its cleanliness a dominant feature.
Even procurement of the milk is
looked after carefully. Every ship
ment is tested Immediately on
arrival for bacterial content, and
unless it measures to a high stand
ard is not sent out to his customers.
Pasteurization is accomplished
through the use of the more modern
type of machines, which are pro-
vided with thermostatic control so
that the heat is sufficient to rid the
milk of all germ life and yet not
enough to alter either the taste or
the cream line.
Serves SouthsiSe
Independently owned and opera
ted, the Weaver Dairy is more than
milk selling depot. There is con-
siderable pride in seeing how we'll it
can discharge its duty to the COM
munity and how we'll it can serve
the territory it supplies, which lies
south of Washington and west of
State.
To the large clientele built up in
this section Weaver serves milk,
cream, butter and buttermilk, and in
the seventeen years he has been
operating has built the confidence
of his customers to large proper
tions. His dairy never is specially
on display, but visitors always are
welcome and will be shown through
at any time.

Do you remember the fern
dish era? I'm sure most of us
recall the beautiful little
maiden hair, asparagus, and
Boston ferns that lived for so
short a time on the dining
room table. In their place we
now have the Japanese rock
garden, Sturdier than our old
dining room favorite, the fern
dish. The living plants used in
it are harder than ferns as
most of them are cacti which
can live with practically no
care, or sansevieria which is
very easy to grow and will live
in almost any surroundings.
