WHILDREN’S AID WORK EXTENSION, r SECRETARTS AIM Increased Fund Opens New Field of Service , Kirby Tells Directors. Extension of facilities of the summer mission at Fairview park was urged today by Paul L. Kirby, secretary of tlio Children’s Aid association, In his annual report, presented to directors of the organization at luncheon in the tearoom of L. S. Ayres & Cos. “During the latter part of the year plans were practically completed for purchase by the summer mission of the property owned by the Charity Organization society at Fairview.” he said. “The summer mission received during the last days of 1919 two considerable bequests. With Increased funds and undivided control there is out there on the bluffs overlooking White river valley a wider opportunity for service to children than has previously existed. “We hope that the plans for reconstruction and new construction may include a convalescent home for children, which may be put to use throughout the year, and a temporary shelter for homeless little ones, and possibly a suitable children’s hospital.” In reviewing the .work of the Children’s Aid association during the last year, Mr. Kirby said that Indianapolis stands tenth among the large cities of the country in infant mortality. He said he believed that the Children’s Aid association, through Its propaganda and baby health stations, lias aided In reducing the rate of Infant mortality this year. The greater part of the work of the Children’s Aid association has been among native Indiana people, he said. Fifty-seven per cent of the visitors’ time has been spent among people native to the state, 9 per cent among people who have come here from Kentucky, 10 per cent among the foreign-born and 2 per cent among colored children. The association has not done enough for colored children, he said. He mentioned a gift of two 550 Liberty bonds from Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Thomson and a gift of 5100 from Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Borlnstein. THEATERS . MURAT —Nora Bayes in “Ladles First,” at 8:15. ENGLISH'S—May Irwin In “The Hiring Line,” at 8:15. B. F. KElTH’S— Metropolitan vaudeville, at 2:15 and 8:15.

This Is the statement of the Washington committee of the National Women's Trade Union league. Stating that the women employed by the government are, as a whole, underpaid, the league representatives say: “Until American women are Justly treated by their government, the largest employer In the world, it will continue to be difllcult for them to obtain economic justice from private employers.” The principles the league asks the reclassification committee to embody In its report are: Equality of opportunity for men and women and equal compensation for the same work or work of corresponding skill. A minimum wage for government servlet, which minimum shall not be less than the cost of living as shown by authentic and official investigations. Classification of salaries above the minimum According to degrees of skill and training. An enlarged civil service commission, with broader powerq, as a central administrative agency ror the civil service, the membership of this commission to include representatives of the department heads, of the employes and of the general public, with an equal number of men and women In each of these three groups.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1920.

CONFESSIONS OF A BRIDE The secret chamber is a source of wonderment to Gene Archer. I think that I never expected my husband and Chrys and Jordan Spence to come aboard the yacht that day, but I talked as if I did while da3dy walked the deck with me. And I wondered why human beings pretend so to each other in times of terrible anxiety. Nobody is ever much deceived by attempts to bolster up a body’s courage. Perhaps in trying to blind others to a great trouble, one best comforts oneself; perhaps by assuming that our friends would join us, I stifled the secret foreboding that they would not. Gene Archer, wrapped in steamer rugs, was brought on deck In a hooded chair. He was well enough to talk, Dr. Travers said, and so, at last, we had an opportunity to discuss the curious events of that terrible week we had spent at the hacienda. Os course 1 was wild to question Archer and very naturally my first query v-ts about tb manner in which he and the others had so suddenly disappeared iruiu tile secret chamber. 1 described my remarkable descent in the shaft and explained to Archer that every one of the valiant blows he and Spence had intended for my rescue had in reality driven me farther and farther from It. “Chance certainly worked In a fortunate disguise that day,” 1 concluded. “You sent tne straight down to rescue Bob—to save my husband from death!” Then Archer had to have that long story. “May Bob’s luck hold!” lie said solemnly and then, as if his seriousness implied too much, lie added carelessly : “Some day I’m going back there and find out how those architectural tricks work. I must hand it those old Spanish masons—they were some extraordinary chaps!" “Marvelous concrete they used, too,” said daddy. “Just think how the walls have stood severe earthquakes! There must have been hundreds of shakes since the original buildings were erected.” “I'm praying the secret chamber is stllj In exlstnece even though the old church has been destroyed as reported. I want to get a look at the inside of that room and that shaft again," said Archer, who always finds his profession the most interesting of all subjects of conversation. “May your prayer be answered," 1 murmured. My voice trembled as I thought of the three precious lives which so recently had been at stake In the mysterious room. Daddy Lorimer' doesn't like sentimentality. He put a steadying hand on mine, then turned to Archer with : “Go on with your story, Gene. What became of you after this little girl dropped down the shaft'/ She says that when she and Flob climbed out again, the secret. chamber was absolutely

empty!” ' “Spence and I were vicious, Mrs. Lorimer, when your cry awakened us and we saw you vanishing behind the door in the paneling. I suppose we acted like ‘•razy men, for we never stopped our desperate hammering until the door fell in. Then we leaned over the edge of the pit and looked Into darkness—and heard nothing—” That was true, thought I. The place was as still as a tomb, for Bob had touched me and was running his fingers over my face In the darkness—and 1 knew him—and was unafraid! “Then a big draft struck us,” Archer continued. "It indicated an open door behind us. Spence and I turned at the same instant —turned to face an empty room! Mr. Lorimer, yonr daughter had vanished. She had disappeared without making a sound! Os Course we rushed to the opening in the wail but we reached Fat That Shows Soon Disappears Prominent fat that cornea and stays where it is not needed is a burden; a hindrance to activity, a curb upon pleasure.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9. -Whether to disband the suffrage party following ratification of the suffrage amendment ot form a national league of women voters that will work for legislation’ to make the American electorate “educated, unbossed and loyal,” will be decided wlien the National American Woman's Suffrage assomiation meets hero this week. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president, made this announcement on her arrival here today. Should It be decided to carry on the suffrage organization in the League of Women Voters, the new league would in no sense be a third or sex party, Mrs. Catt declared. “The aim of the new body would be legislative,” she said. "Victory—complete ratification of the suffrage amendment—is in sight,” Mrs. Catt added.
