about one-fourth Of the federal
budget.
Hines office has been described
as the second most difficult in the
United States, the first one being
the presidency. Yet Hines has held
it nine years and never has been
personally criticized.
Today his bureau handles 442,-
557 pensioners, $4,000 disability
allowances and 325, SAT active COM
pensation awards. IT has charge

we going to get it out?"
"I don't know" said his wife
but something must be done
Maybe you can speak to the bird
through the bricks if you talk
loudly"
So Uncle Wiggiiy, standing close
to the wall, called:
Are you Il tnere, Chimney
bird?"
Yes, I'm in here" was the sad
answer Once more could be heard
the fluttering sound OF the poor
birds wings against the bricks, the
scratching of its claws on the
bricks and its peeping notes.
Cant you fly out?" asked the
rabbit gentleman.
Alas. no." answered the CHM
ney Bird There isn't room
enough in this narrow chimney for
me to spread my wings and flutter
to the top. Besides, when I slipped
and fell in, yesterday, I hurt one
wing SO I can't fly very we'll
You poor Bird" said MIS-
Longears. Have you been in the
chimney all night?'
"All night" sadly answered the
Chimney Bird. Il fear 1 shall
never get out"
Yes you SHALL" cried Uncle
Wiggily. "I'll climb ladder tc
the top Of my roof. I'll let down
to you, on the end of a cord, a
basket. Flutter into the basket
Chimney bird, and I'll pull you ur
and out"
"Oh, how kind that will be il
you can do it!" chirped the bird
I'll do it," said Uncle Wiggily
brovely, and he did. He lowered a
small basket on a string down the
chimney hole from the roof of the
bungalow. The poor bird fluttered
into the basket and was drawn
safely up and taken into the
bungalow. There Nurse Jane fed
the bird and bound up the hurt
wing and soon the Chimney Bird
was all we'll again and singing
happily. So that's all there is tC
the story.
But if the tennis racket doesn't

FOX IMPERIAL
PICTURE SHOWS
ALL STAR CAST

Boosting one of the most distin-
guished all star casts of the cur
rent season, Tine Miracle Man, "
classic American play, will be pre-
sented at the Fox Imperial theatre
! tonight and tomorrow night, April
| 20 and 81.
THE Miracle Man" thus appears
in the fourth phase of metamor-
/ phosis which is more the rule than
/ the exception. 1t was first pub
lished as a novel; next it became
successful Broadway play; in 1919
it became a silent movie and now
it is produced as a talkie.
The cast for THE Miracle Man
lis an important one. Sylvia Sid
ney and Chester Morris play the
leading rmoantic roles, those played
by Betty Compson and Thomas
Meighan in 1919. Hobart BoSWorth
plays the central role as the faith
healer patriarch. John Wray is
the fake paralytic, "the Frog" the
part which made Lon CLANCY fa-
nous on the screen 13 years ago.
Others who are prominently cast
are Irving Pichel, Robert Coogan,
Boris Karloff, Ned A. Sparks. Lloyd
Hughes, Virginia Bruce and Effie
Ellsler.
The story deals with the refor-
nation of a gang of crooks by a
faith healer, known as the Patri-
arch in the vicinity where he lives.
Chester Morris plans to exploit
the Patriarch for the benefit of the
gang.
Development of his plan and the
dramatic situations which arise as
a result, make The Miracle Man
production of unusual power and
force.

One Can do Much Better This
Spring BY Thinking Be-
fore Purchasing

When you set out to redecorate your
home, you do not go about buying
furniture, rugs and draperies in q
hit-and-miss manner, without know
ing beforehand exactly where, and
for what purposes they will be used
nor do you select them without CIV
ing deep thought to their correlation
with one another. OF course not! To
gain the effect you desire, you follow
a plan.
So it is, with the selection Of q new
seasons wardrobe-in other words,
the redecoration of your most import
ant possession-yourself. Whether
your clothes budget is large or little,
you'll come out smarter in the end
if you think before you buy-not in
terms of individual garments, but by
picturing your wardrobe as q whole.
You must, of course, choose your
clothes with regard to their style and
their becomingness to you. But no
less important is the purpose they
must serve. Appearance and purpose
are both SO essential, and so closely
related, that we will deal with them
as a unit rather than as separate fac
tors.
Before you start on any buying
spree, sit down some rainy morning
to the task of renewing acquaintance
with your last years attire. Part
of it will look surprisingly well as is:
some frocks will respond successfully
to treatment of new collars and
cuffs, the addition of gay scarf, OF
assembling with new style Of jacket

discard nothing as hopeless until

crepes-or . wooden In one Of the new
formal weaves. The skirt and jacket
will, Of course, be your base" color
for the top or bodice section, 60 to
any limit you like. Some Of the new
styles feature blouses Of lace which
make . good "dressy' frock with the
jacket removed. Printed tops, and
tops Of light, white or bright colors
are also prominent.
Complete Outfit Stressed
The important part this ''runabout"
costume plays in your wardrobe can
not be stressed too strongly. When
you have decided upon it, pick out q
hat. shoes, gloves and accessories to
harmonic. Now you are sure Of one
complete and handsome outfit. ready
for any occasion that arises. Later you
can key your other clothes in harmony
with these accessories.
Whatever other informal outfits you
need depend largely upon your activ-
tiles. Probably you'll want some little
extra" to slip into most any time"

types. The practically of spring
suit need not be reiterated here. With
q good assortment Of blouses, 1t Is q
most versatile, useful and desirable
style for everyone. And for the busi-
ness woman especially, no better solu-
ton for her clothes problem will ever
be found.

have to include at least one outfit for

wears better than chiffon.
Accessories Necessary
AS to hats, at least two are nee
essary simple felt or rough
straw for everyday and sports wear
:. an elegant type, perhaps in shiny
straw with dainty floral embellish-
ments for your more formal effects.
AS a novelty, try a beret of either
felt or straw-wear 1t absolutely plain
and severe with your tailleurs, and
dress 1t up by means Of jeweled clip
or veil when occasion demands.
Your shoes and hosiery are 11atur-
ally dependent upon the rest Of your
wardrobe, both as to color and style.
Your accessories, likewise. But one
suggestion about the latter Have, il
possible, a double lineup of gloves,
jewelry and handbags one with a
conservative but rather grand air, an
other for novelty appeal.
For the former, your jewelry might
well be pearls, crystals, or metal
| types; your gloves, q suede or French
kid demi-mosquetaire; your bag, a
two-leather style adorned with a
pyralin or metal initial.
Now, not before, you are ready to
consider a spring coat. It is logi-
cally final, rather than first, pur-
chase because It must be exactly right
to wear over every object Of attire
you own.
Placing it last does not. by any
means. belittle its Importance. Prob
ably its selection will demand more
time and thought than any other.
To play safe, choose in your Base
Color-but II you've a flair for the
unusual and style sense you can de-
pend upon, you might experiment
with a blending rather than exactly
matching shade.
In any event. you must be the
Judge. Look over your entire spring
array, and remember that your coat
must harmonic with all and serve as
the unifying factor Of your ward
robe. Try to have some definite pic
ture of a suitable coat in mind be-
fore you 60 to buy.

Then, mindful Of what you already

Make up your mind to stick to 1t. A
basic color Is essential. particularly.
II you-Nke many Of us-are keeping

When you've your color In mind, your

The leading background colors for

consistently, and give vent to your i'm
aginative instinct In your use Of con-
trasting shades.
Whatever your mode Of life, GER
tain costume types are requisite. The
first-and no smart woman, rich or
poor, can afford to be without it's
the general "runabout" dress. IT'S the
one you will simply Give in"-that

TRADE AT HOME is
PLEA OF PRINTERS
Dollars Spent in City Do
Double Duty, Says
Union Official.

Guy Mccoy, Allied Printing Trades
Council secretary, points out that a
number of Indianapolis concerns
really are cutting down their own
business by sending their printing
out of the city.
Mccoy insists that there is moth
ing in the printing line that can
not be done as we'll and as econom-
ically in Indianapolis as anywhere
in the country, and he urges that
when job of this kind is done
elsewhere the local merchants have
just that much less trade.
Il realize" said he, that this is
big country which is closely united
in business, and that means of COM
munication are so good that it is
not much more trouble to do BUSH
ness in Chicago than it is in Irv-
ington.
But I submit also that in the
disturbance which has swept over
the country the last two years, it is
to the interest of each community to
take all the care it can of the peo-
pie who live in it. Hence, urge
home buying and home industry as
much as possible right now.
Every dollar that is spent in
the printing business of Indian
apolis does double duty for Indi-
annapolis people, for the simple rea-
son that as fast as it is earned by
employees of the printing concerns
here it goes into the retail chan
nels again and increases the local
business.
when it is spent elsewhere it
does just as much for the general
