He seems a stranger. My brain and heart are numb. I can’t even remember how he looks. Perhaps after a while my heart will ache again and my brain will try to understand, out now I am just a kind of a log in the mill-race of life which is still for a moment because It has rolled up against something which holds it. The mad' waters of consciousness are begin ning to swirl about me. however, and perhaps in a little while I'll go racing along again, becoming more and more battered until at last some day I will be thrown upon the shore of despair—old and useless. Oh. little Majnuise, how I wish you could send me some communica tion from that land where you are now. I don’t think I am unique among women. Others of my sex have passed jthrough what I am passing through now, otherwise our newspapers and divorce courts would not be filled -with the sensa tional protests of embittered women. Ts I were free, if 1 had no children for whom I was responsible. I would go away, and as the fashionable novel of today, has it, “I would live my own life.’’ Now, I think I would live It jlist as John has been living his—-oh, I am not quite sure if that be true or not, .hut I am so nurt that I want to hurt John as much as he has hurt me. Here I am, though, with a young baby in my arms, whose father is John Alcjen Prescott. Every, chord of my life is bdUnd to my husband. My father has made him the cus todian of my mother's and my prop erty. Pad evidently thought that we were to be together until death parted us. I don’t see hoWi can get out from under. I haven’t the courage or the strength of character to end it all. I told Ruth, little Marquise, be cause 1 knew that she had been through this experience with Harry Ellington. I asked her what I should do. I knew that she took a long while before she decided -to divorce her first husband, even when she wqs in love with Walter Burke There is no man on earth that I care for, little Marquise—not even my husband at present—and I waited with bated breath to hear what Ruth would advise hie to do. She said she could not advise me. She told me I must follow my own impulse—my own reasoning. I am not able to think, little Marfjuise. I do not even feel very much. I am only able to live from day to day. Your unhappy LESLIE. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) TOMORROW Telegrams from John Alden Prescott to Leslie Pres cott.

The scope of Life Insurance has been so broadened within recent years that there are now no financial values dependent upon the continuance of human life that it cannot protect. Permanent future support for the family can be furnished by insurance payable in the form of a monthly income. The earnings of professional and salaried men can be projected into the future. Mortgaged homes can be protected. The education of children can be provided for. Inheritance taxes can be paid. The interests of corporations and partnerships can be safeguarded. The product of the money-making power of successful men can be insured. Em ployers can provide for the widows and orphan children,of their employes. And men and women can make ample provision for their own support in after life.

Frank L. Jones, Agy. Mgr. j \y. A. DAY Consolidated Bldg., i!5 N. Penn. ot. L Ind. .gtM Prerident lods. She Isn’t accustomed to the freedom of Mary with her boy friends. The daughter at times seems to throw common sense to tfte four winds. The same way with Jim, her son. He is growing away from her. What shall she do? She becomes either a flapper mother, to keep up with her children, the tem parent demanding obedience, or the gentle, but bewildered mother lost in the mazes of modern youth. The ideal mother is her children's pal from babyhood, so that they know, even when they begin to have new thoughts, that mother will listen sympathetically. But she does not stoop to the level of the mother. She retains her dignity. She does not act or pretend she feels as her children -do. She merely lets them know her ears are always open for their confidence, and she wants to give them sympathy, advice, mus tard plasters, whatever else, it may be that they need. Out of Hand Dear Mias Lee: I am the mother of two jrirle, IS and 17 years old. They are iust at the are when they are thinking: of boys.. and I nnd it hard to control them. They want to po to dances all the time, and I will not let them. I. am afraid they may meet boys outside our home, as l know grirls do some times, but they are too young to have company. They seem to be getting more distant toward me every day. I am an old fashioned mother and I do not understand these young people. What can I do? WORRIED MOTHER. You can study them, so you will understand. You may' as well face the facts. Your children are grow ing up. They are different from the young women of your girlhood, just as you were different from thoSF of your mother’s. Your job is to keep up with them, in spirit. Read their books. Make friends with their friends. There’s no use trying to keep them away from boys. Doing so \yill only give them wrong impres sions, Instead, throw your home open as e. place where they can bring their friends and have a good time. Guide them in their friendships and in* their good times. Let them go to dances, of the right sort, some times. Keeping up wi'h your chil dren is as important as bringing them up, and It’s harder. Parental Objections Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl of 10 and am interested in a boy of 19. My mother will not allow me tq go with boys, but X' do just the same, and you know a boy has no respect for a girl who meets him on tha street comer. I went with this boy. but wb quit. 1. What shall I do about mothers. 2. Am I too young to go* with boys, or with btm? 3. How can I bring him back? JIMMIE. 1. I don’t know. Your mother knows you; I do not. The fact that you disobeyed your mother £hd did the very foolish thing of meeting boys on street corners indicates that she may be justified in thinking you are too young to go with boys. Or dinarily, I would suggest in a simi lar case that the girl try to per suade her mother to allow her to have boy friends at home if the mother objected to her going out with boys. 2. The age at which girls mature varies, so it is impossible to say, without knowing a girl, whether she is too young to go with boys. 3. By acting in such a way Jie will know you have more sense and self-respect than your past actions indicate.

NO MEAN POLITICS A Lot of the Foyi Would Like to Be Mayor rgIOLITICS just won leave us alone. We I I are rid of the Legislature when along comes the city campaign. In seven weeks, if politicians have their way, we shall be selecting candidates for mayor. It is only a matter of a few days until red fire will be lighting up the horizon and the spellbinder will be spell binding. The campaign is starting true to form. The Republicans are engaged in a lively battle among themselves and the Democrats are try ing to draft a candidate. As usual, there are plenty of seekers after the Rpublican nomina tion and there are plenty of men in the com munity, any one of whom would make a good mayor if he would run, who refuse to be candi dates on either ticket. And we, for one, don’t blame them. There is too much involved in making a campaign and in holding office under the present system of government for the average business man to stake his reputation on the attempt. There is one feature of this campaign, how ever, that probably startles plain citizens not hardened to the ways of politics. That is the joining together in a common purpose of Lew Shank, auctioneer, monologist and rough and reaejy mayor, and Charlie Jewett, the fair t.aired boy of the Fourth Republicans, who is commonly reputed to have committed the gravest of political offenses, the wearing of silk socks. You remember, of course, how Charlie and Lew fought it out back in 1917 when Charlie had ambitions to be the youngest mayor who ever presided over the affairs of Indianapolis, when Lew Shank was attempting to lead his home-rulers to victory and when silver-tongued Dick Miller was orating nightly to little or no advantage. You .remember how Lew referred frequently to “that boy, Charlie, the silk stock ing candidate,” and how Charlie referred to Lew as an “uncouth creature,” or words to that effect, and how Charlie In an attempt to be rough, told the folks on the west side that he cnce worked at the stockyards. Well, those days are gone. Charlie and Lew have united. They haven’t changed their styles in socks, but they.don’t object any more to sitting in a back room somewhere together and discussing the possibilities of putting down Cap George Coffin, ex-policeman. For Cap has become a formidable figure in the political picture. In fact, he is seeking to be the picture, and neither Charlie nor Lew likes the idea, OAP COFFIN, you know, is one of the Re publican city chairmen. The other is Irving Lemaux, who represents Charlie and Lew. Nobody knows which one has a right to the job, although about half the judges in this part of the State have been asked to express their opinions, Charlie’s and Lew’s and Irving’s candidate for mayor is Ralph Lemcke. Lemcke will be remembered best as the latter half of the Jew ett-Lemeke faction of the Republican party which until recently was so bitterly assailed by the Bhank-Arruitage faction, both halves of which new insist they would like to see Lemcke elected to “teat Cap Coffin.” Meanwhile, Cap, now that he has no more duties in the legislative lobbies, is training his guns on the Jewett-Lemcke-Shank-Armitage faction, He is generally reported to have John L. Duvall, ex-county treasu/er, all trained and ready for the battle. There are reports, how ever, that Cap may decide to switch to some one else. Lueius 0. Hamilton, who has participated in many a battle and who has testified not in frequently in political court trials, has with drawn as a He says running for mayor Is no job for an amateur, especially one who has been in the game only thirty or fofay years. But there are other candidates in the run ning. There is Delbert Wilmeth, who used to practice law and work as a salesman for an oil company. Delbert has been dispensing justice In small doses down at city court for three years. He wants to move up to the city hall and he has a lot of friends who feel the same way about it. But apparently he doesn’t be -Aqng to either of the predominate factions. Thus he is handicapped. Then there is William Smith Frye, transfer man and opponent of oppressive motor truck legislation. He is another man without a fac tion. So also is E. Howard Cadle, mender of soles and souls, who built the Cadle Tabernacle and organized a monster chqir, besides running a shoe repair business. He also is out in the cold without a faction to protect him. i ■priN the Democratic side there is one an- U nounced candidate, Adolph Emhardt, member of the school board. He has the sup port of only a £art of the Democrats. Mere dith Nicholson was asked to run, but said he was working on six novels simultaneously and just couldn’t spare the time. Ex-Mayor John Holtzman, who headed a faction when the Democratic party was big enough to have fac tions, is discussed. But he has not announced, So it now seems that Reginald Sullivan, who has been carrying the burden of the Demo cratic organizatibn in the county, will have to be a candidate. This is about the situation as the campaign opens. Every factor is present or accounted for except one. This one is sometimes laugh ingly referred to as the self-governing citizens of Indianapolis. Os course, the interests of these citizens are of minor importance to the politicians. They comprise only about 345,000 of the population. The other 5,000 —the impor tant element to the politician—belong to one faction or another. So the battle goes merrily on, proving the extreme efficiency, when it comes.to gaiping personal and political ends, of our present form of city government. SUN’S SUN SETS "q"JUN YAT-SEN, first president of China, this time is authentically dead at his home in Cantor. With Sun’s passing the Flowery Republic loses a man whose like does not exist, to our knowledge, among all the remaining 400,- 000,000. True, in the last year or so of his life, he became embittered against the powerful white countries which for so long have been exploit ing China, and was advocating an Asiatic league, with Japan at its head, to combat the “white peril.” But who could blame him? i Dr. Sun, educatf 3 in Hawaii, the United States, England and China, was responsible for the overthrow of the backward Manchu dy nasty. He visioned a Chinese republic like ours, criss-crossed with railways and dirt reads which would open up his country to the civiliz ing- influence of the western world. He planned schools, newspapers, rapid communications and a general raising of the standards of his people. But certain powerful nations did not want a big, strong, modern China. And Sun’s hopes were frustrated. Made the first president of the new republic, he coded office to Yuan Shih K’ai, who iried to make himself emperor. Yuan failed and died in shame. But ever since then China has been in a perpetual state of civil war, province in arms against province, with foreigners aiding in fomenting strife that they might fish in the troubled waters. Sun fought hard against all this. Making Canton his capital, he set up a South China government and from there he never ceased trying to bring China to her senses. In 1921 he was again elected president of all China, but the powers refused to recognize him. They chose instead to recognize the pitiful sham of a government sitting vicious and powerless in Pekin. Physically ill of cancer, tortured in soul and in mind by the thought of all his shattered dreams, Sun died in bitterness.

His passing leaves China the prey alike of her own child-like helplessness and the greed of foreign powers. Unselfishly he gave his life for his country and we see none to take his place. WHEN DAWES DOZES rpTIONSIDERING the havoc wrought by the I Vice President snooze the other day, costing President Coolidge the confirmation of his nomination of Warren to the attorney gen eralship, various suggestions have been made to prevent similar disaster in the future. One idea advanced is that O. 0. T.\ Leader Cuitiss might rig up a bed over the Senate chain >er, provide General Dawes with s. firemen’s one jpiece, handy-to-jump-into suit aod teach him to slide down the brass pole at the tap of a gong. UjT|HE dispute between Chile and Peru ov b r L i who owns Tacna and Arica has been set tled by President Coolidge, who says the people of the region can decide by vote whether there are more Chileans or Peruvians there. We hope no foreign country ever claims New York. A plebiscite of its inhabitants would certainly take it away from the United States. OME of us feel pretty important. Yet i _ _J we are only one in 110,000,000 in our country alone, and only one of 1,800,000,000 folks who inhabit the earth.. Then there’s Mira. Mira is now being watched. Mira’s other name is Omnicron Ceti, a star 250,000,000 miles in diameter. Its volume is 26,000,000 times that of the sun and 31,200,000,000,000 times that of the earth. AiXtLi jUN Ai'UJUlo llAiilib How Are Ya? By HAL COCHRAN "V'ell, how are ya today-” It’s a thing people say, when you meet at work, or in pleasure. I guess It's a habit, ’cause all people grab It. It's frlendshipy chat, In a measure. The queer part about It, whenever folks shout It, is what they expect In return. Whenever you say, ”Oh, I’m sicklike today,” they’re sorry they've shown their concern. No man cares to borrow your alllngs or sorrow; he just wants to hear that you're fine. Whenever you tell him you’re sick, you com pel him to kinda feel bored at your line. There’s a lesson in this, that too oft goes amiss. Why not say you feel well, though It’s bun*? If that thought you can shout, you will shortly find out that you’re really not feeling so punk. Get Out the Clubs! Get out the brassle and midiron! Plans for the coming year Will be discussed at a meeting of the men’s club of the South Grove municipal golf course to be held at the club house at 2 p. m.

In/dead, at personal Inconvenience, she per formed a public service. Public authorities are aroused by the number of fatal and near fatal accidents In recent months. In which the motorists responsible failed to stop. Police wsr on the offenders. The Legislature pre scribed more stringent penalties for them. However neither police nor strengthened statute can prosecute the war unaided. They are seldom on the spot when an accident occurs, and. unless they have the offender’s license number, Bearch for him after the smash is like hunting for a needle In a hay stack. One alert bystander can do more to break up the hit-and-run than a regiment of police three blocks away. Consequently to suppress the practice the public must take a hand. It’s everybody's Job, not simply a, matter of police routine. STIMULATING A HOOSIER INDUSTRY SHE Indiana Literary League, with famous writ ers and literary figures as members, was formed recently. Its purpose is to promote interest in literary endeavor In the State, particularly in boys and girls. Asa first step the society an nounces five competitions—three open to those of high school age and two for those of college age. fifteen cash prizes are offered for the best poems, essays, cartoons, and one-act plays submitted before April 20. Probably entry will be practical ly unanimous among the eligible classes. It Is generally assumed that a Hoosier who does not feel the urge to write is not true to his breeding. It may seem that a society to stimulate literary Interest here among boys and girls Is an enter prise like carrying coals to New castle. However, even latent literary genius needs encouragement. Left to Itself It may smolder In dis couragement and instead of set ting the world afire often ends by •clerking In a grocery store. Prize contests among boys and girl* have improved corn, hogs and pies, and added to the State's agricultural greatness. Prize liter ary contests among them may eventually Increase the State’s output of quality books. Like any other important prod uct of the soil the literary fruit Is best developed by methodical clSort. The work of the league may do as much for the State as an agricultural experiment sta tion. IS SUICIDE AWAY OUT? I p nOUF men In one section of h I the State took their own 1. I lives Thursday. Despond ency over 111 health was presum ably the motive In each case. But It was not unusual. Day after day someone, somewhere In Indiana, traverses the suicide route. Four to five hundred are recorded annually, not counting flirtations with railroad crossings and one-way traffic. Perhaps It seem* an easy out to one oppressed by infirmities of body or pocketbook. Nearly every one at some time, when particular ly harassed, wonders if life le worth the struggle. This is a rotten world :.n some respects, so it is not surprising that many momentarily favor es caping by means of a piece of rope or shotgun. But the impulse is easily throttled. Even those who Tammany Chief w-airaPi Mrs. Thomus J. Nolan has been selected by Tammany Hall, the nationally known Democratic ma chine of New York City, to act as district leader of the First dis trict, one of the most important posts in the organization. partially commit suicide are usual ly mighty glad to get back. The gt-eat deterrent to the deed Is the uncertainty as to what lies beyond—and it’s so irrevocable. Life may be irksome, but death may be disastrous. Until mediums establish better communications with the other shore, most people won't jump out of the wofld —they will have to be pushed. Present psychic com munications are too vague to be reassuring. Suicide may not he a way out— it may be a frying pan-to-fire per formance. Because of this uncer tainty it seems better to ordinary folks to live with their troubles than to die with them. IT WASN’T” LOADED—BANG! Tangier. Ind., playfully pointed a small revolver at a boy friend the other night dur ing rehearsal of a high school play. “It isn't loaded,” she as sured him—and pulled the trig ger. The boy, with a hole In his wind pipe and a bullet lodged against his spine, is in the hospital fighting for his life. The girl is prostrated with grief. Two months ago a La Grange youth, posing before his com panions, pointed an “unloaded” revolver at his head and snapped the hammer. He died the follow ing day without regaining con sciousness. Regularly. inexorably empty weapons exact their bloody toll, warnings against the danger of playing with them prove unavail ing. The boy or girl always knows so perfectly well they are harm less. Sometimes they never learn their mistake—in this world. Firearms, particularly revolvers, have on irresistible fascination for boys. The handling and flourish ing of a gun opens wide the potrals of high adventure and in imagination they wade through rivers of blood to perform great deeds. But even reckless, youths view loaded weapons with respect—ls they know they are loaded—and handle them circumspectly. They take liberties only with empty guns. So with unvarying regular ity tragedies occur. Any pistol, whether loaded or empty, is about a a safe a play thing as a rattlesnake or a pet typhoid germ.

First—lnsurance companies, banks and trust estates invest in safe utility securitier millions of dollars entrusted to them by the people. Second—All who use electricity or gas have made an investment in fixtures, piping, appliances, etc., to make it available.

SIMS tics Is that you can't always prove a thing by statistics. Slapping a man on the back is not always striking him In the right way. Asylums are getting ready for those who imagine they are income tax blanks. The impression arises that some of these foreign countries claiming they are facing ruin have two faces. Speaking Scotch is much more dif ficult than drinking It. You must get down to brass taqks to make a man see the point. Somebody's liable to come over here in an airship some day and scare our dove of peace*

It takes about a wetk to dodge a day's work. Even If a man does pass you with his auto he may be behind with his payments. Since It requires seventeen proc esses to wash a stiff collar, they should drop the grindstone p.nd make it sixteen. Next time a man tells you talk Is cheap ask him If he knows how much a session of Congress costs. (Copyright. 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)

HICKMAN SHIS city has been taught a splendid lesson/ by the Little Theatre Society this season. By presenting a morality play, “Ev eryman,” as a part of the Lenten observance at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, one has a better under standing of what is inti nded by the remark of better cooperation be tween the stage and the church. I am told that Dr. Lewis Brown, pas tor of St. Paul’s, was so impressed with the sincerity of the mission of the play and by the splendid re ception given it by a capacity con gregation, hopes to make this, a yearly event at his church. In ob taining this desire of the rector of St. Paul’s, the stage has made an other link in the chain which binds the stage and the church together. Dr. Brown at least once a year preaches a sermon on “The Stage and the Church.” Local managers as well as artists appearing in the city make it a point to be present. During the regular church services on Sunday you will find visiting actors present at St. Paul's. Dr. JJrown is regarded in the theatrical profession as a wise and helpful friend of the stage who not only un derstands the mission and troubles of the stage today but who hon estly seeks to remedy conditions. With one masterful stroke of art istry and sincerity,'George Somnea, director of the Little Theatre, has actually built the foundation of a ieal home for the Little Theatre. Very soon this society will have Its ovm home and theater. Such pub lic service as presenting “Every man” convinces the public that the Little Theater is a great civic in stitution.

This week we have had “Para sites” and "Hell-Bent Fer Heaven” In our midst. The Franclne Larri more comedy was one of those “smart” highbrow smutty attempts to be elegant and entertaining at the same time. The play is noth ing but slapstick stuff dressed up in evening gowns. The entire gang (characters; are society wasters and do not deserve to live. The dialog is smart. Yes, but It contributes nothing but a place to go to spend an hour and a, half. But “Hell- Bent Fer Heaven” is a vital drama.

6 TWO MOVIE LEADERS WILL BE WITH US NEXT WEEK ‘Janice Meredith 1 Opens Sunday at Circle and The Rag Man’ at the Apollo, Next week will be an important wesk in the movie theaters, as two highly praised pictures will be bn vkw. Jackie Coogan in “The Rag Man” opens Sunday for a week’s engagement at the Apollo. Marion Davies will bo featured in “Janice Meredith,” which Will have a notable cast; at the Circle. The Ohio again will introduce a novelty musical program in addition to “Sackcloth and Scarlet.” For the first half of the wek, the Isis will offer “The Trail Rider’ with Buck Jones. -I- -I- -I HISTORICAL BACKGROUND FIGURES LN NEW MOVIE Marion Davies comes to the Circle on Sunday in “Janice Meredith,” which is aclaimed by Eastern critics as the crowning achievement of that ■tax’s successful carver. Based on Paul Leicester E'ord’s novel, this picture is a historical romance embracing the ontn 9 ptriod of the Revolution War ar.d inter twined with the fascinating love story of the rebel daughter of a Tory and a bond-servant of noble an cestry, who becomes one of Wash ington’s most valuable aidea. The Boston Tea Party, Patrick Henry delivering his famous speech, the ride of Paul Revere, the Battle of Lexington, Washington crossing the Delaware and his defeat of the Hessians at Trentoir, Benjamin Franklin's successful appeal to the French Ellng for aid, and the surrender of the British at York town, have all been faithfully de picted in this great production, which was directed by EL Mason Hopper. In this production, which has been given a lavish setting by Charles Urban, Miss Davies Is said to have a, suitable role. Harrison Ford, who played opposite her In "Little Old New York," again appears as the star’s leading man in this picture. The supporting oast includes: Hoi brook Blinn, George Siegman, W. C. Fields; Joseph Kllgour, Madlyn Ar buckle, May Vokes, Helen Lee Worthington and Olin Howa-d.

Willard Mack wrote the story, a typical American tale, of a kid on the sidewalks of New York. Years before the story opens, old Ginsberg—young then and full of ingenuity and hope, perfected an Invention that revolnata.on(lzed the manufacture of sewing machines. Despite the tradition of his race Ginkberg, a poor business man, per mitted himself to be defrauded. The story! of his misadventures in finance is related to little Tim, a mite whom he shelters when a neighborhood orphanage is de stroyed by fire. Circumstances so adjust them selves to the lad’s shrewdness and Intelligence that he is enabled to find the men who have enriched themselves at Ginsberg's expense. How he persuades them to restore to Ginsberg the things that axe Ginsberg's Is told with directness and infinite charm. Max Davidson has the role of Gincberg.

This story is now appearing daily in The Indianapolis Times and will bo presented at the Circle. Ing lawns on Fifty-Eighth St. be tween Central and College Aves. was adopted.
