THE WOMEN WILL DECIDE: — It. is admitted that* the decisslon of the women on the tariff question, ago old political controversy in this nation, will decide the ultimate effort of the proposed high tariff law. In a special story to the Indianapolis News is the following interesting reference to that problem: “Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, at Democratic headquarters is trying to convince the women that the Republican tariff “monstrosity,” as she terms the Fordney-McCumber bill, will send the cost of living sky rocketing back to where it was at top notch. She says “it adds 60 per cent to the cost of every market basket and every wardrobe bundle that goes into the American home. It places a 60 per cent duty on practically all articles of wearing apparel, cotton, woolen, and silk and a duty ranging from 10 to 50 per cent on all fabrics and cloths. It taxes the cheapest glove $3.00 a dozen, the lowest priced stocking 70 cents a dozen and the coarsest under garment 40 cents a dozen. Table, household and kitchen utensils are assessed at 50 per cent of their value. It takes cornmeal, potatoes, cattle, fresh beef, fresh pork, hams and bacons, milk, eggs and cocoanuts from the free list, where the Democrats placed them in the Underwood law, and places them on

the dutiable list raising tholr prices to the consumer about 50 per cent. On practically all other commodities entering into the housewives’ daily reckoning they have placed from 40 to 400 per cent tax, including Wheat, oatmeal, fish, apples, plums, lemons, walnuts, mucaronl, butter, cheese and

poultry. “Everything we need," she concludes, "front the cradle to the grave will be tatffed in the Fordncy-McCum-ber tariff hill, beginning by doubling the taxes on dolls and toys and ending with an Increased tax of 30 per cent, on tombstones." R. T. Small, a special correspondend at Washington sends out the following interesting account of a recent pleasant day in tlte senate: “Like a drowning tnan clutching at a straw, the senate reaches out these days for a bit of diversion that will take it away from the dry dust of the tariff debate. The long eleven-hour sessions are somewhat trying on the nerves and .seem to be Wearing on the senators, but not sufficiently as yet to indicate a shortening of the interminable talk. It was only natural in the circumstances that the debate recently should have turned on the legs of Ambassador Harvey, at the court of St. James. When word came that the redoubtable Colonel George was going to give up his satin knickers and silk stockings at the royal levee and go back to plain old American "pants" it was just as sure as gun is iron that the senate would devote at least a day to this important topic. As a matter of fact, the discussion has not died down yet, and there are even Democratic threats to take it into the campaign. If all the threats are carried out. everything will be in it hut the kitchen store. It was said that (,'olonel Harvey gave up the knickers because his legs were too slim for extended public exhibition, and it is true that the pitetures of him at Princess Mary's wedding received in this country did look a bit topheavy. This, however, merely carries out the contention of some senators that slim legs mean large brains. If legs, however, are to be a political issue in the future it may as well be said right here and now that President Harding has about the handsomest pair in Washington.” The total committee for the location here of the proposed fifteen mil-

lion dollar home and school are not [in the least alarmed over the activities ot the Indianapolis folks. Wo were coming along entirely too easy and we needed just this to make us dig in the harder. Leading representatives of the committee for the National Yeomen have assured us of their preference for a smaller city and since the homo is to come to Indiana we should go right ahead with plans and efforts to make the best showing possible. Within a few days the exact date for the big celebration here will be announced and with the acceptance from the directors we should work fast and with our feet on the ground. We have a real chance for this. Let's go to it. The chautauqua directors at a meeting held last evening unanimously agreed that if this year’s Chautauqua earns any money above expenses the profits shall be turned over to the civic section of the Woman’s club to be used in beautifying Decatur and furnishing playgrounds for the girls and boys. This should interest every person in the city and with the splendid program arranged, this year's Chautauqua should be the most successful ever held. The sessions open with W. J. Bryan, the great Commoner and closes with Kryi’s famous band. The other numbers are splendid and you will enjoy the big week. Speak for tickets now. •— . ICE CREAM SOCIAL and carnival.

Fire followed the explosion and spread rapidly through the buildings. The explosion wrecked the engine and refrigerating rooms and spread ammonium gas throughout the entire plant. Firemen wearing gas masks attempted to force their way into the gas filled rooms, searching for workers but were forced back by the flames.
