HERE'S A CREDIT
FIRM EASY ON
MANY CLIENTS
County Courts Have $751;
600 on Books; Do Not
Bother J0bIeSS.

One installment plan firm in In
dianapolis has $500 debtors who owe
sci 900 and never dun them for
their payments, If they're without
jobs.
And by the end of 1882 the red
ledger of the firm will reach SOS 900
The firm could be called Misdeeds
Inc, If its real name wasn't the
probation department of the munich
pal courts of Marion county.
1t is a department that extends
credit on punishment for misbe-
havlor by permitting It's debtors to
pay at the rate of a dollar or two
week on offenses against the city
ordinances.
Accumulated Since 1923
The SCI 900 in fines owing the
department have accumulated since
1923. The depression and inability
of the law violator to pay for his
gin party or his beer bottle battle
has resulted in the years of 1880
and 1881 increasing the red side of
the departments books.
When 1882 opened, the depart
ment had $43,577 in unpaid fines
listed in its files. The first eight
months of this year have added
$25, 1872 TO that amount with but
$8,097 collected in the same period.
Well get it all, or least most of
it, when times get better" declared
Scion c. Vial, chief probation Of
ficer.
$1,000 Is Collected
Vial pointed out that despite the
fact that lawless of the city are in
arrears $4,000 for past misdeeds,
extending over four years time,
that his department has collected
@77,000 in the same period of time.
Collecting so to 10 per cent of
the fines in these times is a good
average" he says.
He says the cost of each proba-
toner is 10 cents a day and that
he collects 80 cents a day from
them. He estimates that in 1881
the taxpayers were saved $58,536 in
feeding costs in The Jail and $40 ,276
in the state farm by the installment
plan of paying off fines instead of
falling them to serve time for non
payment.
We've declared a moratorium on
all those owing fines who are with
out jobs. Money merely is a by
product of our Office. Often I've
asked some woman or man when he
or she came to pay an installment
on the fine, Can you spare this dol
lar?'" Vial explained.
Sometimes Refused
I'm fact" he continued, i've told
them sometimes, when 1 knew they
were sighting the food of their
children, to take the money home
and use it where it would do the
most good and to come and pay

Each probationer is card indexed
with the amount of the fine owing.
He is given certain days of the
month for reporting on his proba-
ton and to pay off his fine. If he
fails to report notices are sent to
him, he is called by phone, and as
a last resort a patrolman is sent
with warrant to bring him into
court for failure to keep faith

AS a result, when the new

singled her out for the butt of
most of their practical jokes.
They made her wear her pale

braided pigtails.
They smeared her pink skin
with grease blackened with SCOT.

gibes at. her appearance.
Before the Thanksgiving hol-
idays arrived, however, the older
girls began to warm toward her.
They discovered that in spite
of her worldly veneer, she was
only an unsophisticated girl. She
had never had boy friend, and
her best girl friend was her
mother.
Her lack of experience with
boys made her a willing, even an

in her dormitory.

dition which awarded leading
roles only to seniors and juniors
and chose Harlean for the part
of the Princess Perdita.
Throughout Harlean's first year
at boarding school, her mother
was a frequent visitor at Ferry
Hall. The bond between mother
and daughter was clearly recog-
nized.
Usually when Mrs. Carpenter
started back to her home in Wau-

accompanied her.
Week-ending at the Carpenters
became one of the schools most
coveted pleasures, Mrs. Carpen-
tier was young and understanding.
She was beautiful. She was mod

When Harlean and her guests,
contrary to school rules, drew
forth their cigarets and lighted
them, she did not comment
Then one day news came to
Harlean at school that her mother
was to remarry. Her new hus-
