DOVE OF PEACE AT LAST FINDS RESTING PLACE Miss Julia Landers Accepted on Own Terms to Direct Democratic Speakers. 7TH DIST. CLUB BACKS IT Peace In the ranks of the Democratic women of Indianapolis was declared last night in the name of the Seventh District Democratic Women's Cluo by about twenty-fire of tne IG6 members of that organisation who met at the Indiana Democratic Club. The declaratloa came in the form of the acceptance of the appointment of Miss Julia Landers, president of the club, as chairman of the Democratic speakers bureau for the city campaign. The terms of peace were dictated by MU* Landers herself who said they had been suggested by B. M. Ralston, candidate for mayor. After she made the suggestion and after some discussion. Miss Lenders said she would yield ths floor to Mrs. Maude Swift Anthony, candidate for city council, who read a resolution nam'ng Miss Landers chairman of the speakers* bureau. The vote was unanimous Mrs. Martin Reiffel, former vromn city chairman, who resigned because she said City Chairman Thomas Meeker had not kept his promises, was the only member present who questioned the plan. The women also, at tha suggestion of Miss Landers, undertook to name Mrs. Jacob P. Dunn publicity woman for the city organization. There was no statement as to whether this also was agreeable to the mayoralty candidate or to the organization. MISS LAXDEPS MATES NOTHING TO DOVBT. Miss Landers opened the meeting with a statement which left no alternative. The tone of the statement plainly indicated that she would be named chairman of the speakers' bureau, or there would be no peace. Miss Landers did concede, however, that the entire club should cooperate in. the speakers' bureau work. In fact, she said she would not accept the appointment otherwise. Under the terms of the agreement the club will have no voice in naming the women who are to act as precinct and ward chairman. In this the members who were present yielded to the stand taken by Chairman Meeker. In opening the meeting Miss Landers said the women had not received what they had expected, but that they had been granted recognition. She said that Mr. Ralston had askei her to ja chairman of the speakers' bureau, and that she had insisted that the entire clnb should be allowed to coope-ate, to which she said he had agreed. She said that Thomas Taggart had Tunei to do with bringing about this agreement. APPEALS FOR HARMONY AMONG THE WOMEN.

Miss Landers appealed for harmony among the Democratic women. She said that Mr. Meeker is working hard on the organization and that this met with her approval. In speaking of the city chairman's attitude toward the women she aald that “no doubt he reallzese he nas made a mistake." She expressed the hope that he would eventually become Interested In “new politics.’’ which recogFizoe women on an equal basis with men. After reading a letter from Mr. Taggart In which he asked for harmony, Miss Landers explained again that Mr. Ralston bad called her to his office and said he believed her appointment as head of the speakers' bureau and the cooperation of her club In this work would be the best solution of the problem of bringing about harmony. Mrs. Kelffel at the point arose to ask If the speakers’ bureau Is to be an Independent organization. Miss Landers sadl that Mr. Ralston had stated that the bureau la to work under his personal direction. She said tha a speakers' bureau Is always, in a sense, an organization apart. MRS. REIFFEL HAS STILL ANOTHER DOCBT. "As I understand It.” Mrs. Reiffel said, ‘'the men will still control the appointment of precinct women. I think they should meet us fifty-fifty if they want our vote.” “The women should choose the precinct women and the women chairmen of wards.” Miss Landers said “But Mr Meeker has chosen to follow the old system and he Is chairman.” Mrs. Reiffel offered no further objection but left the meeting a short time later. Miss Landers later explained that Mrs. Reiffel had left to attend a meeting In West Indianapolis. Miss Merica Heagland then gained recognition and declared that the women should forget they are women and function as voters. She said tbs believed they should follow Miss Landers' suggestion and accept what was offered. SUGGESTS ACCEPTING LEAST OF TWO EVILS. Dr. Hannah Graham suggested that the women accept the least of two evils and go ahead and work for the party. Bhe said that if there are some who do not recognize the Seventh district organization they should pass the fact by and go “hhead. She said the men are up against the fact that they need the vote of the women. There was much more discussion to thU effect and then the resolution declaring peace was adopted. Following its adoption Miss Landers said she would give her time to the speakers’ bureau during Hhe campaign and that Mrs. Reiffel as fcrst vice president would head the Agacizatlon. Miss Landers then' asked Martha Yoh Marsen to take the ijlr and she presented the resolution to n £ i Mrs Dunn head of the'women s p ■Uitv bereau. the meeting Miss Landers said all the members of the elub had been set postal cards Inviting them to be present.

In other words we have netted you miners an Increase of 240 per cent.” The convention will continue throughout the week’ until all business is satisfactorily completed, district officials sur Wednesday.

Famous stage beauties use this lrmbn lotion to bleach and bring that soft, ciear, rosy-white complexion, also as a freckle, aunburn, and tan bleach because It doesn't Irritate.—Advertisement.

To Keep Straightest, Unruliest Hair in Curl

The straightest, contrariest hair can be kept in curl, even in the hottest or dampest weather, by such simple and harmless means, that the use of the drying, singeing, blistering curling iron is altogether inexcusable. One need only get a few ounces of plain liquid slimerlne from the druggist and apply a little to the hair before doing it up. The result Is quite remarkable. The hair Is delightfully wavy and beautifully glossy, without being lu the least greasy, gum my or streaked. The effect lasts very much longer than where curlers alone or waving irons are used. The silmerine is best put on with a clean tooth brush, drawing this through the hair from crown to tip, preferably after dividing it Into strands. The application seems to gradually improve the texture and health of the hair.—Advertisement.
