Correct Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

mustn't, because the bride-for-
a7second-time should not wear
a white wedding dress or the
bridal veil or orange blossoms.
And if you do wear this at
tire. you will undoubtedly, and
quite justifiably, be criticised.
Instead, wear a frock of some
charming and becoming shade,
and a harmonizing hat. BY all
means have a church wedding,
if this is permissible in your
denomination.

HOUSE VOTES
APPROVAL Of
SOLDIER BONUS
Representatives Break With
Administration Over
Veterans Issue.
TEST VOTE 313 TO 104
Democratic Ranks Are in
Disorder; Roosevelt
Threatens Veto.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The
house broke with the adminitsra-
ton today on the soldiers bonus is
sue, voting to act on the Patmon
So 400, 100000 inf1ation-bon bill.
The vote was 313 to 104.
The test vote, a forewarning Of
house approval of the bill later, was
on a motion to discharge the ways
and means committee from further
consideration of the measure, pro-
cedure which made the bonus legis-
lation the order Of business in the
chamber.
The veterans bloc victory came
in the face of a threat by President
Roosevelt to veto the bonus bill, and
as Democratic ranks were in dis
order over the bonus and the entire
question of economies in veterans
compensation.
The one-sided vote, more than
two-thirds of the house member
ship, surpassed expectations of vet
Grams bloc leaders. They admitted
that some of those who voted for
consideration of the bill might vote
against it on final passage.
However" said Mr.. Patman, at
means we should pass the bill by
two-thirds vote, sufficient to serve
notice to the President of the stand
of the house on the issue"
In an effort to rush action on the
bill, it was agreed to limit general
debate on the measure to two hours.
Amendments may then be offered.

CO. MUST
PAY APPRAISERS
Utility Firm Is Ordered to
Foot Bills for Boards
Engineers.

A harbinger of further reductions
in electric rates in Indianapolis was
contained in an order issued today
by the public service commission re-
curing the Indianapolis Power and
Light Company to pay for an APP
praisal of its property by commits
sion engineers.
The public service commission
seeks by the order to determine
fair valuation Of the light companys
property upon which fair rates may
be based. The order today followed
an 8 per cent reduction in light
rates Feb 6 after an expose by The
Times of alleged unfair practices
of the light company.
Sherman Minton, public service
commission counselor, pointed out
that large savings will be made to
ratepayers in the modus operandi
of the new appraisal Heretofore,
according to the public counselor,
large sums have been expended by
both the utilities and the commits
sion in striving to arrive at fair
valuations, which often were brought
to naught by litigation in the fed
eral courts. In the order issued to-
day, the light company will foot the
bill and the commission will do the
work
Mr. Minton also stated that the
order also will preclude the posi-
bility of large sums of money be-
ing paid to engineers and auditors
not residents of the state. En-
gineers and auditors of the public
service commission staff are of
necessity Hoosiers. In the past, &C
cording to Mr.. Minton, large sums
have been paid New York and Chi
cago engineers and attorneys in
appraisal work by the utilities.
The order issued today commands
the Indianapolis Power and Light
Company to pay semi monthly into
the treasury Of the state of Indiana,
through the secretary of the public
service commission, expenses in
