THE COUNCIL evidently decided that those who wanted daylight saving could regulate their own hours wijh less trouble than the council could regulate the clock. IP THE SOLE purpose of the election this year is to select a mayor, it Is strange that the News-Jewett organization should not have realized it until after the primaries! / THE CONSISTENT MANNER in wlijch Woodrow Wilson is keeping out of the limelight Is difficult to reconcile with the pre-election declarations that he is a publicity seeker. OPPONENTS of the commission form of government in Evansville are asking the citizens if they desire a “portable executive.” Mr. Thomas Carr Howe’s campaign might have been more successful bad Indianapolis had an executive it could carry! Democratic Opportunity The determination of leading Democrats of Indianapolis not to allow factional differences to Interfere with the organization for the coming campaign and the revival of Interest among who have not been active in party affairs recently is a pronounced indication that Samuel Lewis Shank will not win the mayoralty without a real struggle. Apparently, Indianapolis is to have an election fight on party lines instead of along factional lines as it has in the past. Boyd M. Ralsbun, the Democratic nominee, has no Intentions of relinquishing the nomiation to please certain bipartisan candidates and Samuel Lewis Shank does not propose to depend on an organization which is not composed of his loyal followers. Such a political fight as is thus indicated will do Indianapolis a real service. It will tend to bring the Democratic party back into the form or militant organization and it will crowd out of both parties a certain eleifaent that was always willing to trade with the opposition. Among the Republicans there are thousands of voters who are not willing to abide by the primary results and support Shank for mayor, j They are looking for a place to cast their political lots where Shank will not be the dominating influence. This desire seems to have been recog- j nized by the Democrats and they are now engaged in an effort to prepare a home for these Independent voters in which the voters can gather without . apology. That effort is bound to make a better party of the democracy. There is a great need in Indianapolis of a properly organized, smoothly functioning Democratic party. The opportunity is here now to produce such a party and there is an excellent prospect for its success. First of all, steps must be taken to make it less unpopular for a voter to be a Democrat. Next, the independent voter must be assured that he is welcome in the Democratic camp. Finally, the justice and righteousness of the Democratic cause must be so presented to the public that it will make an impression on those thousands of Republicans who have lost faith in their own party’s leaders and administration. The extent to which the Democrats of Indianapolis accomplish these three things will measure their success next fall.

Fire Fighting In ordering an investigation of the disastrous residence fire in this city last Sunday the board of safety has recognized the self-evident fact that there is something wrong with the fire protection system that makes it possible for a fire to spread from one roof to eighteen roofs after the ’fire department is on the grounds. / The report of the investigation will be awaited with Interest by the citizens of the city. It will either prove a marvel of ingenuity in the way of a whitewash or it will very definitely disclose what is wrong. With the meager information before It now the public impression is that the fire department failed to function as it should. The only explanation of the failure to control the fire ihat has been offered is lack of fire pressure at the hydrants. It is further explained that the water company does not raise fire pressure on still alarms and that the first company which responded to this fire was sent on a still alarm. It is diflicult to explain the rapid progress of the fire on the ground that the water pressure was inadequate since the equipment of the department with more than $300,000 worth of pumpers designed to deliver pressure immediately and sufficiently. Nor is the explanation involving the still alarm any more satisfactory. Many cities have found it expedient to do away with still alarms, directing box alarms on all fires in order that the department may always have the benefit of complete organization. The fire and the explanations, together with the immediate conference between fire chiefs and captains that followed, all give rise to a suspicion that while the firemen have been provided with a surfeit of fire fighting apparatus they have not been properly trained or instructed in its use and the lesson of the fire Sunday pertains to fire department organization. It is, of course, folly to spend money on fire fighting equipment that is not used. It is also folly to cling to a system of answering fire alarms that handicaps firemen at a fire. It is self-evident that the present system, with all its equipment, did not function efficiently at this fire. Perhaps the board’s investigation will bring about some changes in our fire fighting that will give the property owner a greater sense of security and tend to alter his present feeling that the city has paid out considerable money recently without deriving much benefit. An Improvement! ’lt would appear that the State finance committee, wholly cognizant of the undesirability of having a SIOO,OOO rotary fund placed to the credit of the director of the highway commission in a bank of which he is a director has determined that a $50,000 rotary fund should be placed to hjs credit in another bank. Thus is a method of spending State money over which there was much criticism during the period when L. H. Wright was highway director and James P. Goodrich Governor, to be improved during the incumbency of Lawrence Lyons as highway director and Warren T. McCray as Governor. It must be agreed that the arrangements announced by the present State administration are an improvement over those of the Goodrich administration. The rotary fund is to be only half as large and another bank is to have the privilege of holding it. But, in the minds of many who read what the State board X)t accounts laid about this rotary fund and in the minds of those who heard of the iistribution of State money by this method there is a lingering suspicion that the State board of finances did not do quite all it might have done to abate uneasiness concerning highway funds. Affairs of State move slowly, however, and improvement in any degree is welcome. In another four years even a rotary fund of only $50,000 may be abolished. • As Others See It! Observing the political turmoil in Indiana from the vantage point of iistance, the Boston Transcript has found an intimate connection between Shank's triumph in Indianapolis and the presidential aspirations of Senator Watson three* years hence. The victory of the auctioneer was the repudiation by the party of the silk stocking leadership of Jewett aad his companions in virtue. This was the crowd that supported New against Watson in the notorious primaries of 1916, the crowd that wrecked Watson's presidential prospects in 1920 and interfered with Watson's plans to have no instructed delegates to the Chicago convention. The defeat of this machine Is a triumph for Watson. Thus we have an explanation of the four hours’ conference between the senior Senator and the Shank party at Washington. The elimination of the silk stocking aggregation of the impeccably pure offers rare and hitherto impossible opportunities for the senior Senator, ■whose ambitions are illimitable. “It is common gossip m Indiana,” says the Transcript, “that the Watson people believe that Mr. Harding ia a one-term President.’* Thus, “Senator Watson’s friends think they see for him four years from now a chance for the presidential nomination." This depends/ however, on his domination of the organization, and “the nomination of Shack for mayor was the first step in that direction.” All plausible _enou§lL__An.d_why not?—Ft.

W. D. BOYCE IS INTERVIEWED IN NEW ZEALAND Otago Daily Times of Dunedin Gives Impressions of Times Proprietor. HE PRAISES DOMINION The Dunedin, New Zealand, Otago Daily Times, under date of Jan. 28, 1921, !has the following to say in regard to the visit of W. D. Boyce, proprietor of the Indiana Daily Times, who headed a “west by southwest - ’ expedition to New Zealand, Australia and South Sea Island groups: THE KINDEST COUNTRY. An American’s Impressions. THE LEAGCE AND THE TARIFF. In the course of an Interview to a representative of the Otago Daily Times, Mr. i W. D. Boyce, a visiting newspaper publ Usher controlling xseveral important American papers, declared that New i Zealand was the kindest country in the world. His experience was that the people did everything possible to make things pleasant for a stranger. Mr. Boyce is visiting New Zealand, in his own words, “to get a scory for our papers and to understand the country.” In his view It is necessary to have first-hand information of tne important countries of the world and until his arrival New, Zealand was one of the remaining three countries in the world which Mr. Boyce had not personally visited. Australia was another, but as be goes to the neighboring commonwealth next month every part of the empire will have'cowe within his purview. Mr. Boyce is a wclllr.formed man of decldely British sympathies and an engaging conversationalist. TALKS ON POLITICS AND TARIFF POSSIBILITIES. In response to a question about politics and tariff possibilities in America. Mr. Boyce said : “We have had nothing but politics in America for some time. There has not been any great difference between our political parties for many years. The Republicans and Democrats both j favored a revenue tariff. The necessity' for increased revenue consider- i ably alters the situation with regard to higher protection. Our national debt is equal to that of Great Britain -on the present rate of exchange, and the gov- * ernment must raise revenue any way. If that revenue can be more easily got by a higher tariff then a higher tariff will he adopted. That will probably include wool, but thfe finer wools necessary, for j certain manufactures are not produced in the United States. We must Import fine wool, otherwise our factories would be starved and employment decreased. Additional tariff charges might be put on coarse grades, but I cannot see how the people will be generally bepellted by it. “I want to eiplain the embargo," said Mr Boyce. “I have heard a lot about It since I landed here. Our country cannot lay an embargo, which Is really a change in the tariff, except by an act of Congress And it cannot lay an export tax on anything of any kind —raw or manufactured. The Constitution forbids j it and the consent of three fourths of the States !a necessary to amend the , Constitution. We could be sucked dry | of certain products and we are the onlj | public on the American continent with j such a provision." The origin of the provision Is Interesting snf Mr. Boyce says that few i Americans are even aware of If. “Thirteen colonies (then British col- j onles) originally formed the United ! States—seven south, which raised cotton j and tobacco, and six north. The South would not Join unless It was written j in the Constitution that no export tax could be levied.” he explained. ■‘Simply politics.” said Mr. Boyce, \ when asked why America had not Joined the League of Nations. “If the opposition had Indorsed tlie league It would have meant a Democratic win and President Wilson triumphant,” , he continued. “Many people who voted Republican favor the league as stronglv as the Democrats, and I think the league an especially good thing the United States. Look at it from a cold- I blooded financial standpoint. The allied governments owe the United States ten billion dollars. There is n balance of four billioh dollars due on manufactured \ goods sold to allied rouutries. If Europe j does not cease spending big i ariqieg and big navies there will bp noth Ing with whieh to pay the United States j The United States should first and last ! be in favor of the League of Nations, for j the world cannot keep on fighting and pay its debt3. The United States stands to get. more out of the League of Na- ; tlona than any other country In the j world.” GERMAN VOTE AGAINST WILSON.

Mr. Boyce went on to say Ihat the German vote went against the Wilson administration because it favored tho war, and the Democrats made the mistake of putting up a “wet” candidate Just after the country had gone dry by three to one. “Big Republicans are in favor of the league," said our visitor, “but it was all simply a question of politics and politics came first. We will find some way of getting around it in the next six months. Wmerica is a peace country, and since Germany, the disturber of the peai-e, has been set back permanent peace will be Indorsed by the whole world.” “Yes,” said Mr. Boyce, answering another question, “we have hod a slump in prices. Since last July business has decreased by about 20 per cent, and prices have declined by 20 per cent, and In some places 40 per cent.” With a twinkle In his eye be observed that newsprint had not moved in sympathy with the general fall. Mr. Boyce is not afraid of the labor situation. Communists, Bolshevists, Socialists and I. W. W. sections nil exist, but these groups are so relatively small that they cannot accomplish anything. Speaking of unemployment in the States, Mr. Boyce explained that for many years there have been about 110 Jobs for every 100 people, but now there are something like eighty-five Jobs for each 100. As no big State Improvements have been undertaken during the last ten years for lack of labor, and for which large appropriations have been made, Mr. Royce thinks the proseentioli of this work will be effectual in relieving unemployed situation. * FOUL-WEATHER JACK. Q. Who was Foul-Weather Jack? , D. V. H. A. This was a nickname given to the English admiral, John Byron, on account of his ilUluek at sea both in sailing and in fighting.

LITTLE CHINA LADY LOVES AMERICA But Finds Chinese Attire Most Comfortable

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Very pretty China maid was told that American newspaper man wanted to talk with her. While waiting back stage at the Lyric to Interview Grac* Moy, prima donna with “A Tale of Three Cities,” 1 had the idea that I had some Job ahead of me to make this little Chinese person understand me. Suddenly a pretty little woman, dressed In a long kimono and tier feet encased in heelless slippers and said pleasantly, “Do you want to see me.” She extended her hand and gave me a real American handshake. 1 looked dumfounded, that 1 admit, because 1

Miss Grace Moy, Chinese prima donna, now singing at the Lyric. thought this Interview when written out would look like a laundry ticket. "Y'ou see.” she smiled, “I am not so "touch different from your American girls. I was born In China and came to this country when I was five years

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a United Income, will tel* the renders of the Dally Times now the nany present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budst that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily n an Interesting review of t-elr home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) \l F.DNFSIVIY. “I think you bnve tremendous courage to-'attempt ranking your own dresses." said the Bride as she and Mrs. Hooper sat over their sewing in the afternoon. “It seems so Impossible ta have them look smart If they are made at home.” “Oh, I'm sure you are mistaken about that,” responded Mrs. Hooper quickly. "It Isn’t the fact that it la made at home or by a dressmaker that makes It smart. Nearly everything depends upon the cut and if that is simple and In good style anyone who knows how to sew can finish it properly.” "The first thing you do, then. Is to secure a good pattern, 1 suppose, - ’ anld the Bride. “Yes,” replied Mr* Hooper, “that is the main thing. The one I have for this dress has Just four pieces and Is very simple. The front is cut on the lengthwise fold of the material and is without a seam except at the shoulder end under arm. The sleeve is in one piece and the collar which is placed on a fold at the center back Is attached to the neckjine. 1 shall attach a small white vest to the lining and the sash with loop effect 8t the sides is nothing but a straight piece of material.” “Well, it sounds simple." ssid the Bride, "but I know 1 should ruin good material the minute I began to cut into It in spite of that nice paper pattern " “If yu feel that way nbout It," said Mrs. Hooper, “the best way to do would be to buy some unbleached muslin and cut it first by the pattern. But the really important thing is to make the lining fit drst the nay I’ve done x.lth this. I’ve used a good quilty of china silk and the pattern wag laid on the straight of the goods. I put In a byR and 9ew'?d on the fasteners or hooks and eyo.a as soon as the lining was basled and that kept It In shape. Pins are alwayr slipping out—but fasteners are on to stay." “When it is finished the lining is entirely Independent of the dress, I see,” observed the Bride. “It is, and cutting and fitting the material is no more complicated than making the lining,” said Mrs. Hooper, "as soon as you get over being nervous about spoiling your cloth.” “Now that it is all put together and fitted on your ‘Judy,’ I suppose .von are ready to proceed with the finishing," said the Bride. “No, I shall try it on myself now," said Mrs. Hooper, “and ask you to measure the length of the skirt s > that it will be perfectly even. Then I'll rim it up on the machine and the rest will be hand work.” ‘'Are you going to trim it at all?” asked tho Bride, apparently disappointed that the whole process was so simple. "No, I shall have only the little white lace Vest," answered Mrs. Hooper. “I have a bit of old lace and white mull here In my work box that will be Just the,, thing.” ‘Weil, it certainly looks all right.” said the Bride, as she finished marking the skirt, “and Id hate to tell you the enormous sum you’d have to pay for that dress if you bought It ready made lu a city shop—with at least five dollars extra for the nifty little vest that you’ll fashion from that lovely bit of old lace and sheer white mull.” “I shall have It all finished to wear to the theatre on Saturday night when I go to the city with Honry,” said Mrs. Hooper, “but I suppose he won't notice that X have anything new on. “For goodness sake!” exclaimed the Bride, "I’d like so see him get by without noticing it If I’d made It. Bob would

of age. I was educated in English as well as Chinese.” \ I asked Miss Moy after gaining sufficient courage, what-er, her age Is at the present time. “Y'ou-can't offend me by asking me my age," she replied.” I am now 23 and you can easily figure how long I have been in America.” After several glances at the kimono which she was wearing, I ventured to ask if she liked American or Chinese styles the best. “The Chinese dress is much more comfortable,” she said. “So much freer. No corset. And the slippers, they have no heels. Heels make American women have corns.” Then she smiled and said,” I am Americanized because I have several splendid examples of them but they don't hurt when I get into my heelless Chinese slippers.” In Chinese, the prima donna's name would read—Moy Fong San. “That means," she said, “Little Water Lily.” And I admit that the‘ Chinese name applies very well to this pretty singer. After finishing her present vaudeville tour, Miss Moy will Join the moving picture company of Lew Cody and will be a prom'nent member of that gentleman's company. , Miss Moy is a consin of Lady Ren Met. famous Chinese singer, who has been at B. F. Keith’s io this city several times. During our lltUe chat, she remarked that she is not married and voiced the opinion that “marriage and stage work do not mix very well.” . “Y'ou can’t do both very successfully at the same time,' she stated. About that time, the act was “called” and the little Chinese prima donna said “Good-by" and made a dash to her dressing room to change her kimona to a gorgeous affair which she wears over the famous Chinese pantaloons. Miss Moy is at tho Lyric all week. She is singing songs In both English and Chinese. -I- -|- -|. ON VJEW TODAT.

I suppose the family will stop eating when I have to get anew outfit." she concluded dole fully. “I know Bob hasn't any idea what is ahead of him ’Toil'll be surprised how soon you'll learn to make ever so many of your things.% ssid Mrs. Hooper consolingly. “Clothes get simpler to make every day even while they are growing more expensive in the.ready-to-wear shops." The Bride looked skeptical. “When I go in town tomorrow I must buy some farmer s satin for a petticoat,” continued Mrs. Hooper. '*Oh, you ought to have gray silk,” objected the Bride. “No. I shall get the farmer's satin; It wears better and has more body to It and on the whole is much more sensible for me,"' was Mrs. Hooper s firm decision.

KINGS EAGER TO KNOW WILL OF SUBJECTS (Continued From Pago One.) It la a singular fact, and an anomaly, that the navy of that country is his. No naval officer takes an oath to support the Parliament or the government. He Is the king’s officer, not the Nation’s, In law. When Parliament took over from the kings all their other powers the navy still remained “the king's navy," to be directed by him and to uphold the power of the throne in distant colonies and at home. And that remains to this day. What would happen If “the klng’a navy" did not follow the decrees of “the

government” If Lloyd George should issue orders to n naval officer that might not be in keeping with the royal deßlre? It could not happen, for no king would express a purpose contrary to the policy of “the government." So In actual practice, after all, "the king's navy” is rather a fiction. One thing I learned at first hand about King George and the Prince of Wales. They know not only about the British navy, but about all navies. They are keenly Interested and fully Informed about navy policies and practical naval operations. The king is a naval officer and was trained Just like other young Englishmen who majte service in the navy a career. His full knowledge ot naval matters at home and abroad made our discussion Interesting and informing, and when the Prince of Wales oame to Washington he had p’easant recollec lions of a visit to Admiral Rodman s flagship and of the close cooperation of the men of the navies of the two countries In the Wotjd War They had a high opinion of Ambassador Walter Hines Page, who left an impression In England that will give him a place for all time as one of America's ablest representatives at the court of St. James. ALBERT, KING OF THE BELGIAN'S. After Joffre, no visitor who took a great jiart in the war received quite/ the welcome from the heart which the American people gave to Albert, king of the Belgians. This was due to three things: 1. His heroic stand for the rights of his people to keep Belgium "a country and not a road" when in 1914 resistance to Germany seemed the hopelessness of helplessness 2. The story of Belgium in war days, told so clearly and so beautifully by Ambassador Brand Whitlock, who remained at his post and rendered great sertvee to humanity, and 3. Albert's own courage and steadfastness and devotion to the welfare of the Belgians. I fonnd upon talking with him at Brussels and in America that he was keeping up with measures touching the prosperity of Belgium, and deeply Interested in the trend all over Europe that presaged n larger share In government by the people. Indeed, all the kings I talked with had their ears to the ground. There is not a public officer the United States, dependent for his tenure upon re election, who is keener to know what the people •

Albert would not be called a prohibitionist, though he is what would be -ailed In America "a teetotaler.” Though wines are served on his own table, he does not paTtake, believing that- abstinence is’the best course to pursue. With King George refraining from wine (luring the war, with King Albert a teetotaler and the king of Italy a temperance man, those who-hope to see the drink habit pass are at least in good society. Though his cousin, Prince Udine, and Marconi and distinguished Italian officers came to America on a war mission, the King of Italy did not find it possible to come to America for conference with his American associate* during the war or since. Asa matter of fact, he was sel-

dom in his own capital. Ifrefee last war had been a war of cavalrymen, it would have been truly said of him, ss it was said of Stonewall Jackson, “His headquarters are in the saddle.” The camp, the trenches, the place of peril, the place of comradeship with Italian soldiers, was the headquarters of King Humbert. He does not come up to the ancient idea that a king should stand head and shoulders above his subjects.

PAYS VISIT TO ITALY’S KING. He showed his pleasure In greeting Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page, .who was beloved by Italians for his personal qualities and his distinguished service in trying days. This was before Ambassador Page’s book was printed. That will add to Italian appreciation, as it has informed Americans, and is one of the most valuable contributions of the war hitory. Our visit to the king was just before Premier Orlando left him during the critical days of the peace conference. He evidently was following closely its dej liberations and talked about the problems

which after-war conditions left for sola tion iff Italy and all that country bordering on the Adriatic and Mediterranean. He regarded them as grave and calling for world study and world consideration. He spoke with genuine appreciation of the pleasure the visit of the President and Mrs. Wilson gave to him and to the Italian people; of the long and friendly relations between the two countries, and particularly the navies of the two nations. BREAKERS AHEAD. Somehow I felt the critical important?* of the impending break at Paris as we talked, not from anything the king said, but from his impressive attitude as he touched upon some of the questions which have since become so serious. He knew there were breakers ahead, and was even then nerving himself to pilot the ship through the stress of storms that broke within a week after I was in Rome, j As; with Ambassador Page, our comi pany stood in the Coliseum and looked Into the bluest of blue skies, with a Caproni carrying a dozen passengers flying over our heads, the reflection cams over me that the world had traveled far since Caesar's legions marched through the streets of imperial Rome. “Westward the course of empire” has tifken Its flight, but new Rome carries In its bosom the spirit of hope and of adventure which beckon it to its ancient greatness. When President Wilson visited Italy shortly after the armistice, Bonl conducted him through the sacred ways of Rome, Pointing out the tomb of ftomolus and other sacred places, the distinguished Roman said to the American President, as he presented him with branches of laurel and myrtle: “Today I offer these symbols to yon, the upholder of the freedom and civilization of peoples.” President Wilson replied: "These tai—>l symbols speak a great and proftu td language.” The reply of the great archaeologist wa the most beautiful tribute ever paid to our countrymen: “You American* have something, more sacred still, but you carry it in your hearts—a love of humanity.” To be worthy of that tribute 1* Inspiration and Incentive to Americans; today. tomorrow, forever.
