AVERAGE HOUSE RENT.
SET AT SIS IN CITY.
Census Shows Drop to Low
Level of S18.

All the areas of greatest eco
nomic drain in Indianapolis had
average house rents of approximate
ly $25 a month in 1890, according
to the United States census taken
that year.
Four of the census tracts in this
area had average house rents of less
than Sl8 month that year, accord
ing TO the census figures.
These facts were ascertained by
the Indianapolis community plan
committee Of the Indianapolis
Chamber of Commerce. In 1890
the United States census takers
gathered information on house rents
by census tracts in indianapolis
and their figures were used by this
committee in its study of economic
and social conditions in this city.

a KUK
DAY
~ BRUCE CATION

'"CTRANGER'S RETURN" finds
~ Phil Stong writing once more
of Iowa farm life; and it is delight
full to have him doing this, if for no
other reason than the confusion
which covers the snooty eastern re-
viewers when they find some one
actually eXtolling Iowa as pleas
ant place to live.
The central character in this book
is Grandpa Storr, an old but ex-
tremely sprightly Civil war veteran
who lives on his Iowa farm with two
female dependents-a stepdaughter
and niece by marriage-and a
unique hired man named Simon.
who is profane and goddess. but a
sturdy rock TO tie to in time of
trouble.
Into this home comes a long-lost
granddaughter. who has been going
it alone in New York and who is
forced by economic pressure to
find a haven in the old homestead.
The story has 10 do with her adj
justment to farm life and with the
efforts of the other two women to
freeze her out so that they can in
herit grandpa's farm. The gals lay
some pretty deep plots to do this,
but Simon and Grandpa are too
foxy for them. and in the end the
granddaughter is firmly established.
I'm not sure that this is as good
a book as State Fair" The girl
from New York isn't always con-
vincing and the neighboring farm
er with whom she falls in love is
more than little phony.
But the book makes delightful
reading just the same, and I can't
help feeling that Mr. Stong is con-
tributing something important to
our literature by his sympathetic
and zestful portrait of Iowa farm
life

COMPOSING" to a deep devotion to
the "jig-saw puzzle craze, the latest
entertainment fad has been put to
uses far more beneficial than pleas
ure alone.
The jig-saw puzzle craze, which,
according to local librarians and
book shops is "at fever heat" now,
has made it possible for new kind
of work to be started in the occu-
pational therapy ward at the city
hospital.
The ward is under the sponsor
ship of st. Margaret's Guild. 1t is
maintained in order that convalesc-
ing patients may have an oppor
tunity to do work that will give
them necessary exercise and diver
sion.
The ward has several machines
for cutting out the puzzles. Some
are electrical, and the patient needs
only to guide the puzzle as it is cut,
Others are designed on the princi-
pal of child's velocipede, to give
necessary exercise to feet and legs
of patients.
Tables are kept in the ward
where patients may work on the
puzzles, as a pastlme.

LOOKING OVER
THE VINEGAR TREE"

The Vinegar Tree" Paul Osborn'S
rollicking comedy, opened its regu-
lar run at the Civic theater play
house last night, to an audience
which thoroughly enjoyed itself
from curtain to curtain.
The play with all its witty lines
and various intriguing situations
was well handled by the Civic cast.
Lilith Bauer, who played the role of
Laura Merrick, was fine in her
evaluation of lines and in holding
the audience in one continual up
roar. Although Miss Bauer at times
seemed to overdo the part. for the
most part kept herself within the
reserve needed.
Walter Pfaff, as the grouchy yet
lovable old codger, was also a side
shaking character. He had a good
comprehension Of the various moods
which must be handled in the part
and his facial expression and gesti-
culation were additions which made
the old man a real one.
Jane Gent. in her first leading
role at the Civic, made a good be-
ginning. Her poise, mannerisms and
voice were very acceptable. Her i'm

pieces of three puzzles together, and
works all three simultaneously.
Mrs. Robert Scott Jr. of Wood
