SNOW has fallen in Texas and still we complain of the Indiana climate. TOM TAGGART fails to Dreak in on the front page when he calls at the White House nowadays. WHEN LABOR UNIONS fail to agree among themselves employers should have little cause for concern. ONE GOOD THING about the Arbuckle case is that it will not mean the addition of another movie actor to an already long list. Where Were *The People?’ Ten citizens of Indianapolis lent their names to a remonstrance against the tax rates fixed for Marion County and when the remonstrance was filed with the county auditor by other than the remonstrants, it was proclaimed by opponents of good school buildings as another “uprising" against the present city school administration. Yesterday, the State tax hoard held a session for the purpose of hearing this remonstrance and not a single one of the remonstrants appeared before it! There was no popular uprising of citizens to voice objections to the tax levies fixed by the various officials. None of the "people,” in whose interests this remonstrance was said to have been filed arrived at the statehouse to object. Those persons who lent their names to the remonstrance were not even represented at the hearing. Thus is it-conclusively proved again that this movement in opposition to the program and the personnel of the present majority of the school board is a manufactured sentiment, rather than the “great uprising” it has been termed. When Alfred Potts was called upon publicly to disclose how his "taxpayers' league” determined to put itself on record as opposing bond issues for better schools, he dodged and evaded with the result that the question has not yet been answered! When the ten remonstrators against the increased tax levy for school purposes were called to a hearing none of the ten remonstrators could be found! Nothing more is needed to prove conclusively that this opposition to good school buildings in Indianapolis is not a spontaneous but a carefully manufactured opposition. But if it were, the premature annuncement in an evening newspaper, yesterday of the candidacy of Fred Bates Johnson for the school board might be cited. This announcement appeared before Johnson filed his petition with the city controller, thus showing that the ties that bound him to that newspaper throughout his long service on the public utility commission have not been broken, now that he has entered the school board race. Candidly speaking, and there is no reason for lack ot candor, this fight which has been waged against the present school board majority ever since it refused to re-employ the incompetent Mr. Hitt as business director, has beer planned, managed and stimulated, by a little group of Indianapolis citizens who demanded control of the school system for their own selfish purposes and failed to get it. Ever since, they have been trying to punish/hose officials who refused to bend to their will. In thl3 effort, they have made use of some mighty good citizens whq were, undoubtedly, led into the opposition in all sincerity and against whom nothing more can be said than that they were and are misguided. Having, through their impositions on these citizens, established some opposition to the present school board majority, they are now endeavoring to turn that opposition into support of their stalking horses, Mr. Charles Barry and Mr. Fred Bates*Johnson. Thus, the issue for the election is defined. Neither Mr. Barry nor Mr. Johnson will obtain the vote of any citizen who is unwilling to have our public school system controlled by a newspaper which knows not its owner.

Another Court Failure Another instance of what this community suffers as a result of the laxity of the Criminal Court in dealing with men charged with felonies is brought to l f ght by the arrest of Clint Simms, alias Shaw, charged with participation in the robbery of the Beech Grove State Bank. Simms was arrested Aug. 7, 1920, on a charge of manslaughter resulting from the death of a small boy whom he ran over while driving an automobile. He was indicted by the grand Jury on Oct. 16, 1920, and arraigned in Criminal Court on Nov. 1. From that day until yesterday, a period of approximately eleven months, there appears to have been abso’utely no effort on the part of the Criminal Court to dispose the charge against Simms. According to the court calendar, the case was to have been tried Wednesday, but court was adjourned because of the G. A. R. parade and there is now no date set for the trial. In the eleventh month period during which the Criminal Court kindly refrained from disturbing the liberty of Clint Simms, he participated in three morß felonies, according to the charges now made by the Indianapolis police department. It is not difficult to understand the reasoning that would move a man to criminal action under circumstances such as are alleged to obtain in Simms case. The individual who finds that it is possible to avoid even a trial on a charge of manslaughter for eleven months Is not likely to have a great deal of regard for the law against robbery. Needing money for the purpose of defending his liberty and realizing that there are ways to avoid the speedy Justice that is presumed to obtain for both State and defendant alike, a man might easily reason from experience that it is not a serious matter to add one or more law violations to his record. If Clint Simms had been tried within a reasonable period on the indictment against him in the Criminal Court, it is unlikely that he would have been in a position to be charged with the robbery of a grocery, and a bank and a physician. Whether acquitted or convipted, he would have regarded the business of law violation as a serious one and might have hesitated to conduct himself in such a manner as to become involved in these offenses. But, in addition to having been spared the necessity of answering to a grand Jury indictment for eleven months after It was returned, Simms also appears to have avoided the necessity of furnishing a proper bond. Investigation discloses that the only bond on record in the Criminal Court was one approved by George Hutsell, city clerk, for his appearance in the city court. Here are facts enough to warrant a real investigation as to the experiences of this man in the Criminal Court. The record is not one that Inspires confidence in the Judiciary. Believe Which? A peculiarity of the defense made of the experimental surgery on dogs at the Indiana School of Medicine Is that step by step it is proved fictitious. Last April, when public attention was first palled to the practices at the college, Dr. W. D. Gatch, one of the operators, declared: "The dogs we get are always emaciated and show plainly that they are not pets.” Yet this week W. B. Goss found his pet dog in the college kennels and the photograph of the dog which appeared in the Times yesterday discloses that it was by no means "emaciated.” Only a few months ago, W. A. McConnell and G. W. Butler, who constituted an inspection committee of the Indianapolis Humane Society, reported that dogs operated on at the college were "always given an anesthetic.” Yet, our morning contemporary, in the course of an inspired defense of the college practices, says: "It is only in the rarest cases that the nature of the physiological reaction sought precludes the use of the anesthetic.” Out of this mass of contradictory statements and admissions, the truth could easily be sifted if the proper authorities were not so painfully fearful of the results. t \ In the meanwhile the college authorities have only themsefrps to blame if the public forms a very poor conclusion both as to their practices as to their veracity.

OLD-FASHIONED MINSTRELS REVIVE The Tunes and Dances of Days Gone By

It was evident last night that local theatergoers welcomed the opportunity of seeing a colored minstrel show as English's last night housed one of the largest audiences of the season to witness the Famous Georgia Minstrels. State Senators and even G. A. R. veterans were seen in the audience last night. A minstrel band and parade will bring minstrel fans into a theater when everything else fails. There is a certain fascination about a minstrel band that lures people to the theater. The Georgia Minstrels, which is an entire colored organization, is playing at popular prices and at that price the show is giving value! The first part is the regulation minstrel part. There are several good Individual voices in this organization. Major Daniels by singing "Chink of the Miters Gold” help up the show last night, lie has a good voice and the old time song teemed to appeal to the aucftence. Leon Craddortr, who sang "Angels,” scored with his song. A. G. McFarland revived memories by singing • In good voice the favorite, “Silver Threads Among the Gold.” Mixed with the old time songs are many of the modern jazz period. Th 6 jokes are well handled and do not stop for any great period the melody achievements of the entertainers. There are several good dancers in the organization. The second part runs fco vaudeville numbers, closing with a little trifle called “Captain’s Troubles Aboard.” Coy Herndon is one of the best hoop j manipulators I have seen for some time. ! Allie Johnson springs a surprise by appearing made up like a monkey. Herndon performs on a wire. His work is good. Johnny Woods is a ventriloquist of some ability, but his turn should be ; shorteued to obtain the best resufts. j The settings are not elaborate be- ! cause the show is constructed on the good, old fashioned lines. If you like j colored minstrel shows t have the feel- ! lng you will get your money's worth, at ! Euglisb’s today and tomorrow w. n. h. -I- -l- -|- O.N VIEW TODAY.

Daily Fashion Hints By GLORIA BWASON, Star In Paramount Picture*.

I had rather expected, a* skirt* grew shorter and neck and sleeves visibly less | in my frocks this spring, that I should I look unusually modest, the pink of propriety, lu my bathing suit this summer. Ilut my goodness, gracious! Hatblug suits Lave changed, too! Make* me think i of the soldier who said he had gone to war In the age of skirts and coma back in the age of tunica. The one in the sketch Is anew French one I’ve Just bought. Not that I got tired of my black and white or loved Caesar less, but Just loved Rome more. No, the artist has not exaggerated It at i all; it's Just like that, only, of course, the j color Isn’t there. I I think It was the color that intrigued me the most, anyway: it's such a lovely : combination—violet satin, trimarted with | rose. I The undervest, which makes th* bodice 1 posihle, is of deep rose, with a bias j band of violet. | The violet bodice is bound with rose, | ns are the full little ruffles of the skirt, j and the belt Is lined with rose. Kuee-lcngth bloomers of rose show nt | the sides, where the two ruffled panels of the skirt fall apart In the most startling, though pleasing, fashion. | My cap Is of alternate bands of violet and rose rubber, with two gay tassels of | the same. j Speakjng of tassels, I saw a bathing ! rap yesterday with tassels of cut Jet ] beads. j Very ehtc and clover, to be sure, but j think how a big, rrnle wave could slap yon In the face with them'.

IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Keeping House With the Hoopers

[The Hoopers, an average American family of live, living in a suburLao town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in au interesting review of their home Lfe and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with tbem.J FRIDAY. Little Betty's illness threw a damper over the meeting at the Bride's house where the half dozen women came together to continue the discussion of household budgets, that had been started l>y Mrs. Hooper. It was difficult for them to settle down to a serious consideration of the subject while the life of the little daughter of their Mend and neighbor was hrnging In the balance. "It just seems as if we oughtn't to go on having these meetings when Mrs. Hooper is In such trouble,” said syin pathetic Mrs. Owen. "Oh, I’m sure Mrs. Hooper would want us to go right on,” insisted the Bride. “We couldn't possibly help her by discontinuing the meetings as she is so anxious that the subject be well discussed by this small group before it is taken up ~by tbe club, and I know she would be greatly disappointed if we gave It up Just because she couldn't be with us.” “Well, that Is what I thought," observed Mrs Wright. “I've made out m.v clothes expenditures as wo planned ns well ns I could to tit my income, but m.v present mode of spending money for clothes will have to lie very much regu lated, I know, before it will be as scientific as Mrs. Hooper's budget demands." “You know what Mr. Mlcauber advised, observed the Bride, "when he said ‘Annual Income twenty poinds; annual expenditure nineteen pounds, nineteen shillings end six—and result happiness,' and Mrs. Hooper believes that the sooner we hood this wise advice the better off we will be. Regulating the expenditure for clothes is harder for me than making ends meet for food.” “Well, it naturally would be with a family of two," said Mrs. Chapin, “hut where there are children the food and shelter items give more trouble than clothes, 'I think." "On Mrs. Hooper's budget with her Income of fifty dollars a week she allows seven dollars a week or three hun dred aud sixty-four dollars a year for clothes, and this sum covers the needs of herself and her husband and the three

children.” "Well," said Mrs. Wright, "I have the same size family and the same income and Mr Wright does practically.the same kind of work that Mr. Iloop.-r does, so that my expenditure ought to be the same as hers, though as 1 figure It 1 am spending four hundred and seventy five dollars, or about nine dollars a week for clothes.” "You'll Just have to cut It down Mrs Wright.” said the Bride, "and that Is how Mrs. Hooper will be so helpful because can tell you Just where you were being extravag nt. and why we miss not having her with ns now." “She will be able to do that at the club meetings,” observed Mrs. Owen, "when we submit these budgets that we are working on." “How do you distribute rour money among the members of the family, Mrs Wright?" inquired Mrs. Chapin. "Well, this year my husband bad two suits of clothes at sls, two extra pair of trousers at $8 each, two hats at $3 each, three palra of shoes at $5; six shirts nt $1 .'A. an overcoat at $35, two suits of winter underwear for $4. and two suits of summer underwear for $2. twelve pairs of socks at 21 cents. $3. and tlea, g'oves, collars, etc. about sIA "That figures up to about SISK> o<>. said Mrs Chapin, as she addeo up the columns of figures “Then,” resumed Mrs Wright. "I had a tailor suit for SSO. a waist for sl2. four wash waists at $1.50, $. two pa r" street shoes $lO, house slippers $2 dress shoes $5, rubbers 75 cents, duck skirt SO. inus ■ln dress $lO, silk petticoat $5. housedress (made at horn*) $lO, two hats. $lO. gloves $4 and stocklngß, veils and material for underwear $lO "That makes SHOTS,” said Mrs. Chapin. “Benides that.” went on Mrs. Wright. “It took S7O to cloths Ellen. SSO for James and S2O for Alice, which altogether totals $l7O 75." “Just $112.75 too much,” calculated the Bride "Well, my clothes budget Is Just about ss much out of proportion,” admitted Mrs Chapin. "And mine Is still worse. I’m ashamed to say.” acknowledged the Bride. "Well, thanks to Mrs. Hooper s coaching, I've got mine down to within the limit." said Mrs. Campbell; “and next week I’ll tell you how to do it.” The menu for the three meals on Saturday in the Hooper family was.

Helpful Household Hints To clean frying pans that are used with fat. Drain all the fat out you can, wipe the articles with newspapers, and half the work of cleaning Is done. Follow this with hot soapsuds. To clean tumblers: Tumblers In which milk has been served should be rinsed in cold water before washing with hot 80S pstlds. Washing glass or china in cold weather: Tut the article In the hot water on the side so the expansion will be the same ail over. If the air is very frosty and the tumbler Is put in on the bottom, It will probably break at the point where the hot water reaches, from the fact that there is no expansion at the top. To keep the sink drain free from grease: Pour down once or twice a week a strong solution of lye, using about two quart* of boiling water and about half a can of good, strong lye or potash. I’ut this Into the waste pipe when you are leaving the kitchen for the night. Never put th cogs of your Dover eggbeater in water. PUSS IN BOOTS JR. Bj David Cory Thft cock that crowded in the early morn Awoke the (nuns all tattered and tern. Who had slept. In the loft all night I guess, For he didn’t have time enough to un dresi. But when he heard the rooster's horn He Jumped out of the hay and felt forlorn. It was Xmas day and nobody near To give him a word of lovo and cheer. Then ho walked across to the little white house And knocked on the door as soft as a mouse. For he didn't know what they’d say when they found A tattered tramp was hanging around. Well. I gness I'm getting ahead of my story, for when we left off in the one before this you remember little Puss Junior was in the sleigh with Santa Claus and the gilt weathercock on the barn had told them to hurry up and fill Jack and Jill's stockings before the cock that crowed In the morn should wake the tramp all tattered and torn. Well, Santa Claus lost no time, and when he had filled the stockings, he said: “Now am I going back to the North Pole. Will you come with me?” "No, thank you; much obliged," said little Puss Junior, "I'll wait here till the children wake and call out, ‘Merry Xmas!'” So Santa Claus climbed Into his sleigh and said, “On Dasher and Prancer, and all the rest of you. Get me hack to the North Pole as soon as you can, for I must be getting toys read# for next Xmas." So the reindeers snorted and pranced, and then off they went In a whirl of snow, just as fast ns their feet would go. and Santa Claus turned around and waved his baud to little Puss

Junior, while the sleighbells grew faint-I rested, or ami fainter until by and by their music name.

J Well, after that Puss went up on the , little porch and waited, and pretty soon I be heard a little g.rl'B voic esay: "Jack, are you awake!” And then heard Jack say: "Yes, I’m ; awake. Let's look at our stockings." And after that Puss heard, “Oh, my!” : and "Isn't it a dandy!” and -Just what : I wanted!” and Oh, dear me! What's the use of my telling you all they said.
