Toys Buy Now for the Holidays This is a suggestion born of conditions you’ll appreciate later. American makers of toys are swamped with orders which are almost impossible of fulfillment, and very few foreign toys are likely to arrive. But at present stocks are adequate and —Our facilities for caring for “layaways” are admirable. Already we have a roomful of the purchases of the forehanded. We’ll gladly add yours to them for delivery whenever you say. —Fifth floor.

The program committee of the Indianaj polis Franchise league prepared an unj usual treat in the inspiring talk given j yesterday afternoon at the open meeting j by Dr. Carolyn Shoemaker, dean of women and professor of English at Purdue j university. Although new to Indianapolis audiences. Dr. Shoemaker is well known ! as a speaker. Her subject of yesterday < afternoon was "The Woman Movement." She began by telling of her recent disfcovery of a new' field for women, having found a scarecrow', clad in woman’s garments, “most efficiently" keeping guard over a corn field. She touched lightly on some ancient phases of the woman’s movement, particularly the incident of the daughters of Zelophehad, who forced Moses to give them their father's estate when, in the absence of male heirs, it was .about to go out of the family. ] Quoting the remark of Beatrice Forbes- | Robertson Hale that "If democracy is the i mother of the woman’s movement, the al- . piiabet is the father,” she sketched the histcry of feminism down through the '■ golden age of Eliaaiwth to the times of the Puritans. "Woman lost a great deal in the Puritan movement." she said. “You have only to read ‘Paradise Dost,’ and be appalled. "The French revolution gave the impetus of democracy, for along with the term 'citizen' there sprang up immediately the term ‘citizeness.’ John Stuart Mill, in his 'Subjection of Women,’ shows the results of the second factor, the alphabet, or higher education, if you will, to the movement. Miss -Shoemaker called attention to the fact, in passing, that Mill took much of the material for his book from reports of the famous Seneca Falls suffrage convention.

Third Factor in the Advance. A third factor in the advance of the woman frovement, according to Miss Shoemaker, has been industrialism. A number of recent books on the subject were recommended by Miss Shoemaker— "What Women Want,” by Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale; "Women and Economics,” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman; "Woman in Modern Society,” by Earl Barnes, and others. She gave a brief account of each, and its value to the

student of suffrage.

In naming the literary men who had written woman's story, she mentioned Shakespeare and Ibsen, Barrie—“The

„ Twelve Pound Look"—and Bernard Shaw. 1^7-ISQ W s,le quoted Mrs. Hale’s remark. “Don't IQf ipy TV. WdSIlingTOn r»l. trust the English; they don’t -ay mee

things about the women; take the Scotch

and the Irish.’’ in this connection.

“It is a long and interesting list we have,” she said, “and it makes a distinguished literary background for our movement. It goes back to Charlotte Bronte, for example. You will be charmed to lead ‘Jane Eyre’ in the light of the j woman movement. And you find in Edna , Ferber, and the stories now being played • in a local theater, modern and up-to-date

expression of the woman story, too.’’ - Comparison to Bluebeard.

Miss Shoemaker told Maeterlinck’s story of Bluebeard as an illustration of what the movement means in everyday life, and then described In most vivid fashion her impressions of two opposite types of women who are interested. She first told of hearing Mary Casey) the little Chicago factory girl, who tells what a difference it makes to her to meet the men of the j business world “wit’ a ballot in me fist,” and after that paid a tribute to the power jand appeal of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, i honorary president of the National Suf-

frage Association.

j In speaking of Dr. Shaw, who has spent ! forty years of her life working for the | woman’s cause. Dr. Shoemaker passed <nto the last topic of her address—the pa- ! thos of the woman movement. She told among other things of the letter written joy President Roosevelt, on the occasion (Of Susan B. Anthony’s last birthdav, conigratulating Miss Anthony on her splendid jwork, and of Miss Anthony’s comment: '"On® word from the President on the floor of congress would have helped more than 1.000 such letters.” She also recalled the statue recently erected by the women of Oregon to the hitherto unrecognized Indian girl who directed the expedition to that state, and closed with an eloquent appreciation of all the pathetic but heroic work of women pioneers. * .

H WOMENS TO PRESERVE SHADE TREES

COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN TELLS OF METHODS USED IN WORK.

SAYS RESULTS ARE OBTAINED

With its use it Is possible to do far more accurate work than with the usual chem-

ical methods, Loomis said.

Saving shade trees is one line of work laid out by Mrs. Myra L. Dock, chairman of forestry of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. This work comes under the supervision of the committee on forestry and waterways. Mrs. C. L. Souder, of Columbia City, the chairman of this committee in Indiana, has accomplished considerable work during the last year. Mrs. Souder, in speaking of her work, said: "The centennial year seems an especially opportune time for the clubs of Indiana to join in the shade tree campaign. The committee worked with this end in view, distributing literature, speaking at conventions, and obtaining wherever possible, at least one program on

forestry durlug the year.

"Clubwomen are urged to become acquainted with the trees in their own yards, to learn how to plant a tree and how to care for it properly, that eventually the knowledge of the few may broaden to a more extensive knowledge

Following the meeting, the Catalytic Cluo, which is the social section of the Chemical Society, gave a smoker, to which the guests of honor were A. B.

"Many trees have been planted during the last year, some to mark a spot of historical interest, others in memory of distinguished persons, and still others for their {esthetic and economic value. An effort will be made to have the Dixie and Lincoln highways adorned with native trees and shrubs, and a systematic campaign will be made with this end in

view.”

As one of the results of the election an interesting situation has arisen in Indiana over the distribution of federal patronage In the next four years. There is much speculation over the method that may be followed In handing out the federal.plums

in this state.

A President sometimes listens to recommendations made by the national committeeman of his party in regard to appointments. Edward G. Hoffman, of Ft. Wayne, is the Democratic national committeeman from Indiana. Congressmen May Control. Although the national administration in the next four years will be Democratic, Indiana will have two Republican United States senators and nine Republican members of the congress as against four Democratic members of the congress. There is no probability that the President will seek advice or recommendations from Republican senators or congressmen In tegard to the distribution of federal

olIDes in Indiana.

Some persons express the belief that the four Democratic congressmen, George K. Denton, of the First district; W. E. Cox, of the Third district; Lincoln Dixon, of the Fourth district, and H. A. Barnhart, or the Thirteenth district, may control the distribution of plums in all the districts of the state. They say these four Democrats probably will agree on a division of Indiana Into four parts, each congressman taking control in one “part of the state. Under this plan each Democratic congressman would make recommendations for postoffice appointments In his part of the state, and would also make recommendations for certain other positions. -

State-Wide Character.

There are, however, a few appointjnents in Indiana that are of a statewide character, such «as United States marshal. United States district attorney, two internal revenue collectors and col-

ts said that the

President probably would look to VicePresident Marshall for advice and recommendations in regard to these places, Inasmuch as the Vice-President is from

Indiana.

, Franchise League Notes.

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw is to speak at Anderson on the evening of November 17 and arrangements are being made for parties of suffragists from Indianapolis to attend. Persons wishing to know full details for the party may consult with

league’^ decislo^t^nostnom 6 lectors of customs. It

‘f t ^ Dr. Shaw s n.nhahiv appearance in Indianapolis manv local suffragists will avail themselves of this opportunity to hear her. A conference with Dr. Shaw at Anderson will probably result in the selefctkm of an Indianapolis date. The desire of the league is to have her here during the opening davs of the

state legislature.

The letter of the state board to the

local leagues was read at the meeting yesterday, and special attention calleAto the reports of the legislative committee which recommends that' the league work Tor a bill for a constitutional convention. Other measures may be backed later, as this report of the committee is not in-

tended to be complete and final. Clippings i*ecently sent here from the

Peru league give glowing accounts of the success of the women who distributed literature at the polls in thaf city on Tuesday. They gave out maps of the state showing bow Indiana compared in (suffrage with her neighbors. They read: I “M«in us change the color of Indiana.”

Little Stories of Daily Life

A Hot Box. Jimmie's instruction in automobile mechanics began at the age of eight with ris father’s purchase of a car. The speedometer, the electric horn, everything interested him. One evening recently Jimmie insisted on his father's attention. “Father, do you know everything about an automobile?” asked Jimmie. "Um, well that depends,” his father replied. not wishing to lose his reputation with sonny. “Well, what’s a hot box, and why don’t we ever have any? Johnnny Jones says their rear wheel developed a hot box the other day. Why can’t we have one.

too?”

The father tried to explain to Jimmie “And does anything that gets red hot because it’s going too fast and doesn’t have enough grease develop & hot box?” askey sonny. “I believe so,” the older man answered. A few evenings later, Jimmie was amusing himself at his father’s typewriter. The machine had been moved too near the radiator during the summer, and as Jimmie attempted to move the carriage he burned his fingers. "Papa." ho' called, “come quick and bring some grease.
