THAT AIRPLANE theft is food for thought about the turn our interstate crime scandals may take in the future. THERE IS no danger of the motion picture profession becoming overcrowded as long as those parties on the coast persist.

And, as usual, Government leaders are worrying about the smallness of the revenue and not the enormity of the so-called needs. OF COURSE the primary desire of certain of our good citizens is to see justice done, even though they may talk resignation from the ticket as the price of immunity for Hartman. £ MR.

The Peace Parley Writing of the disarmament conference in the Saturday Blade, Chicago, W. D. Boyce says: “The countries of Europe which owe the United States $10,000,000,000 are in the position of the man who is earning SSO a month more than he is spending and buys a fiivwer, paying SIOO down and agreeing to pay SSO a, month until it is entirely paid for. However, it costs him SSO a month to operate the car and therefore he is unable to meet his monthly payments on the purchase price. Finally the automobile dealer tells him to bring in the fUvver and leave it with him until it is paid for, and the purchaser, now saving SSO a month because he is not operating the car, applies this on his payments and in time he owns the car. So Uncle Sam is going to inajst upon the nations oi the world bringing in their armies and navies and suspending fighting each other until they at least get him paid off, for he knows it is absolutely impossible for them to keep up the expense of armies and navies and ever pay what they owe him. By the time they have paid off what they owe, their armies and navies will be obsolete. If they then want to build new navies and raise new armies they can do so, at their own Ufrpense. But they will not be able to go to war with each other whenever they have a ‘mad' on, and by the time they get ready everything will have been settled without a fight. Lloyd George is reported as having told the Stench government that if they brought on another war they would have to go it alone, without British aid, to which the French replied: *We have the largest army in the world and can take care of ourselves.' You will note France is asking more money from the United States, while Great ’lritain is offering to pay something. The moral is evident “The British government has offered to pay the United States the Intereat on what she owes us, but our Government has felt that so long as the other Nations cannot do likewise it would be unfair to take pay from one aftd let the others go free. So the people of the United States are taxing themselves for the interest that the foreign countries should pay regularly. It will be a long time before any of the principal will be paid. “We all will watch with great interest the sparring match for the ‘aiiderholt’ in the disarmament conference. I do not think the United States will have any trouble in dealing with the British, French or Italians, MUt the Japanese are going to make demands and inject propositions which AfUl likely break up the whole show. * “I am reminded of a sign that as a boy I saw put up in a country store: ‘lf you don’t see what you want, don’t ask for it, because we don’t have it.’ ” ftr ___________ Why Stop So Short? There will be considerable disappointment j by those persons Os Indianapolis who longed for a clean-up in the booze marts over the failifTe of the Francis confession to lead to the indictment of more persons tfian have heretofore been connected with the Louisville burglar. > It is difficult to understand how Francis or any one else could have transacted the wholesale booze business which he charges without involviag more persons than are named in the Federal indictments. Are we to believe that seven or eight citizens of Indianapolis imported nod drank all the booze Francis declares he hauled here? * The booze trail seems to have ended abruptly, yet the booze itself has übt been located. Are we to believe that less than a dozen persons could break down the guards against the wholesale importation of liquor, transport, cache and dispose of it wholly among themselves? Only one conclusion can result from consideration of these facts and that conclusion is that the Francis story has not been probed to the finish. * It is, of course, some consolation to know that the Federal authorities have taken hold the affair and that as a result of a grand jury investigation a few persons will have to face the Federal Court. But what the people of Indianapolis desire, even more than light on the truth or falsity of the Francis confession, is a clean-up of the influences which have ben powerful enough to traffic in booze and stolen cars throughout a large part of the “good government” administration. For this clean-up they are loking toward the Federal Court in the full fcmowledge that the State and municipal authorities are either unwilling or unable to bring it about ; Perhaps the disappointment at the meager results of the Federal invjhstigation is 111 timed. There seems to be nothing to prevent the Federal authorities from continuing their investigation until they enable us to know who shared the liquor Francis Imported, who gave him the protection necessary to evade police interference and who Is now most in fear of a complete expose of the whole lawless affair.

LEADERS OF OLD GUARD YIELD TO PROGRESSIVES Democrats Win Victory on Tax Amendments, Which Improves Bill. CHANGES MADE IN LAW By B.ICHARD LIMIHCUM. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—The most decisive victory in behalf of constructive legislation yet won by the Democrats at this session of Congress was the surrender of the old guard reactionary members of the Senate Finance Committee to the Progressive Republicans in the matter of amendments to the tax revision bill, which, while they Improved the bill, do not remedy many of its iniquities. The amendments which the old guard leaders were compelled to accept in order to avoid a party split and a coalition of Democrats and Progressive Republicans were first presented in the Sebate on Sept. 30 by Senator Simmons (Dem., N. C.), former chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. As stated by Senator Simmons they provided for an increase of the corporate income taxes with a range of Ito 25 per cent instead of a flat rate of 15 per cent; to retain the capital stock tax on corporations; to repeal the $2,000 exemption on corporate incomes; to confine individual exemptions of S2,O:H) on incomes below $20,000 and above $5,000. to restore the surtax to a maximum of 52 per cent and to repeal the transportation tax. Following the announcement of Senator Simmons, which was in harmony with the attitude of Progressive Republicans, it was imminent that a coalition of these progressive elements would follow, and for the first time this session the Old Guard reactionaries took genuine alarm A conference of Republican Progressives, at which Senator Lodge was called in held at the residence of Senator Capper demanded in substance the acceptance of the amendments outlined by Senator Simmons, which increased the alarm of the reactionary leaders. Then followed a conference of Senator Lodge and ethers with President Harding President Harding's attitude on the amendments initiated by the Democrats and urged by the Progressive Republicanis well expressed in the Washington Herald (the Herbert Hoover paper) as follows : “Senator Lodge, it would seem, war advised by Mr. Harding that what thr | Ye TOWNE GOSSIP Copyright, 1921. bj Star Company.

AIN DIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, JLiLD.

White House wished was unity among th< Republicans and au agreement. On th details of the program he was not sc much concerned.’’ Finally, by a vote of 5 to 4, with the Democratic members excluded, the Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee adopted in substance the Democrats’ amendments. This, in brief, is the history of the most important amendments yet made to the tax bill and the surrender of the Old [ Guard. It is evident, therefore, that any benefits to accrue to the average taxpayer that will prevent, partly, at least, the corporations from shifting their burdens to his shoulders will be due first to the Democrats* who formulated the amendments to the tax bill and secondly , to the Progressive Republicans who compelled their acceptance by the reactionary Republicans. TAX 811.1, NOT SATISFACTORY. That the tax bill as amended by the Democrats and Progressive Republicans is not going to be satisfactory to the corporations, is made clear by the opinions expressed by some newspapers which usually speak for the corporate and predatory financial interests. Already the compromise is referred to as “Penroses botch," and the Republican ongross is accused of “cowardice” In not adopting Senator Smoot's sales tax They denounce the Republican Senate for haring played polities with the tax bill. Undoubtedly this latter charge is true and is due to a lack of definite policy and leadership beyond favoring tbe privileged classes and trying to hold together Iho discordant and antagonistic elements—more numerous than those in Hannibal's army-whicb supported the Republican party In the last election. I his is further confirmed bv Mr Harding’s reported attitude on the' tax amend meats that he was not so much concerned about what was In the bill as he was that thp factions la his party should hold together. ATTEMPT TO ELIMINATE KENYON FAILS. Tbo Republican reactionary forces have not only played politics with the tax lull, bnt with noarl y every proposed measure of legislation In which politics .should b 0 subordinated or eliminated ) allogelher. One of the most important political l moves, however, was not with reference !,° , any P art icular measure of legislation. ! bus , wa * r °nfained In an offer of a Fed era! Judgeship to Senator William S veuve,, of lowa, whl Is not only the Republican leader of the so-called' agricultural bloc in (he Senate, but is tbe keystone of the Republican progressive •ireh. I nder .Senator Kenyonn s leadership a coalition could readily be formed with the Democrats in behalf of progresshe and constructive legislation whbh would utterly destroy the Harding reactionary program This possibility is the one great fear of the reactionary Republicans. There would be less likeli hood of the overthrow of the reactionary Program with Kenyon out of the Senate. Another reason for wanting to get rid of Senator Kenyon is that it is a part o the Republican program to seat Senator Newberry of Michigan and to "exonerate him by adopting the report of t e majority of the Senate Committee on rivfleges and Elections, to whl~h Senator Kenyon Is opposed Asa preliminary o this move. Senator Kenyon, without being consulted, was removed from the Committee on Privilege* and Elections and made chairman of the Committee on Education and Lahor. But the effort to muzzle Senator Kenyon by taking him off the committee which passed on the Newberry case and he effort to remove him altogether from •he Senate have resulted („ fj,ii ure afl Senator Kenyon has declined the Judgesnip and It is understood will take a leading part in the Newberry ease when It reaches the floor as he did ten years ago In the unseating of Senator William Loriiner of Illinois. REVIVAL OF TnK 1912 SITUATION. Until the surrender of the old guard on the amendments to the tax revision bill the spiite between the reactionary and progressive elements In the Republican Party wa* growing wider every dav : in fact, the situation was so alarming to the reactionaries that the President's personal newspaper organ at Washington declared that the two factions were wider apart than they were In 1912 The surrender, therefore. Is regarded as a mere opportunist's effort, with only temporary effect, which cannot permanently unite two elements whose differences are re. able SS unt * alnel,t * l ailf l IrroconcilThls view, it is rre. icf ■}, win become more apparent when tae so-called rail road funding bill, which |, „ n ]v , bIII lo loan the railroads another $500,000,000 is brought up. To manv experienced observers the pres, „t differences l n the Republican party are plainly a revival of the old differences between the reactionary predatory and special prlvi|..g,. d classes of certain sections of the East and the pro gresslve liberaU agricultural sections of, f " p West—ln oth*r words, the 1912 situ- ‘ ation over sprain.

"I don’t know what makea this house look so kind of dingy and dusty.” remarked Roger, critically, as he strolled through the living room after breakfast, “its lost all its bright shiny look that It always has when mother is on tbe job.” "Well, I'm sure I dust around every I day.” retorted Helen, as she set the floor brush and ca.pet sweeper in tbe corner and began to move the chairs out In the hall so that she and her grandmother could give the room its weekly cleaning, “Anyhow it doesn't look the same,” observed Roger, “and you are always talking about my not noticing things. See the end of that curtain that was rainpd on Tuesday night because the window was open from the bottom. Its all turned black from swishing on the window sill. No one ever saw anything like that with mother around.” “I know very well what keeps things like that dirty curtain, and those old dead leaves on the plant* tn the window boxes and the broken window pane in the basement and the plug off the chain in the wash tubs and the ends of pieces of soap around in ail the soap-dishes, and a few other things from ever being seen in this house when mother is managing it,” said Helen, as she piled the books aDd magazines up on the reading table. “Well, what is it?” inquired Huger, as he helped his sister by dragging out the rugs into the hall preparatory to beating them in the back yard. “It’s that little book that she calls her Inspection list,” replied Helen. 'She writes down every little thing that is out of order In the house ou Monday morning and before the week is out you know somebody has had to fix or cleau or mend every single thing that sue has made a note of in her little book.” “Then she never has any leftovers for the next Week,” remarked Roger. “That’s It,” nodded Helen, “and It’s all these leftovers that no one has attended to for nearly a month that makes the bouse look so shabby in spite of all the dusting and cleaning that grandma and I do.” "Tbbn of course all of us sleeping down stairs makes the house mossier too, I Ruppose,” added Roger regretting his fault finding when he remembered how really hard poor little Heleu had tried to keep things in order when she would much rather have been playing around outside. “I hope we don't hare to make any jelly or anything this afternoon.” he continued as he shouldered the rugs for their Journey to tbe clothesline in the hack yard. “Yes. we do,” said nelen, ’’there are the rest of those quinces to finish and some more grape juice to be made and grandma says she will make a dozen glasses of Jelly out of what is left of those apples.” “1 think It’s a pretty mean way for father and me to have to spend our Saturday afternoons.” growled Roger. "Mother never ln the world would make us do it. I can't see what’s the matter with you and grandma that you can t manage alone.” “Well we are net going to,” announced Helen emphatically. “Father says it’s Just n* hard for us to stay in when we’d like to go out In the woods this afternoon so you are both going to help and I know how pleased Mother is go'ng to be at all tbe things we're canned. She doesn't know that w've done a thing ” “Yes, and I wouldn't be surprised If they all spoiled." prophes'ed Roger as he disappeared through the front door.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By Dartil Cory Twinkle, twinkle, little star, Shining from your motor ear. Once you thought it all the rage Just to twinkle from a stage A parrot was singing this New Mother Goose Melody as our little hero. Fuss in Boots Junior, entered a pretty town. The cage was hanging outside the stage entrance to the only theater ln the town, and that night there was to he a circus. How the elephant was ever going to act on the stage is more than I can tell, but let us wait and see. for pretty soon we'll buy a ticket-unless little Puss Junior gives us oue. and then we VI sec for ourselves. And wasn't It tunny? It was the same circus that Puss had once joined, oh,

a long, long time ago. But thpy re membered him, especially, and kind hearted clown and the circus queen and the big gray horse. They gave Puss as maoy tickets as he could use, so let us go in with him at once and sec the show. But wasn t it too bad? Just at tbe last moment one of the riders sprained his leg and there was nobody to ride the big gray bor-e. And then the circus lady began to cry, for she had no one to do her at with. And v.’bea I*uss Junior saw this, he jumped down from his scat and ran behind where the actor folk were all waiting for their turns, and he put on a riding suit with a little silk top hat. aud Jumped on the big gray horse and rode round and round the ring, bowing and taking off h s hat And when the lovely circus queen saw him she jumped on her beautiful black horse and came into tbe ring, and all the people cheered and clapped their hands.

And to all of us It Is Important, more important even than our shoes and our hats. Occasionally we reach a degree of art or simplicity when we wear it unadorned and proudly. And our pendulum has Just swung back from such a period into a more or less barbaric age. Hair is the first and most easily managed adornment. Spanish combs are a rloL I have even seen them U3ed as a garniture for aqfumn hats. So it ts entirely consistent that we should turn our fancies to headdresses. and England is offering us some new and charming suggestions. One you will see in the sketch. Five bandeaus of sequins are caught together in a cap that holds but does not conceal the bair. However, that is not so unusual as the feathers. To be sure, they are ostrich, but not the “duckie” little ostrich tips that used to nod rakishly from the stately matron’s coiffure. No, they are slim and lithe and graceful, as is the present preferred type of feminine figure. Glycerined ostrich, scantily and artistically used, is caught in place with a huge mock jewel. Perhaps we shall go in for the turbans of the “Green Goddess” before the end of the social season. They were perfect enough. At any rate, the prominence of the feather nvras assured. Another English headdress had feathers used in a flare, at the back of the head like a comb, and we are all now familiar with the Spanish comb that is made of small feathers ii. tropical colors.

And tbe big gray horse jogged around and around and pretty soon the circus lady jumped from the black home on to the big gray horse, and Puss Junior held her on —that is, he made believe, yon know, for, of course, she could ride all right. And then the people all clapped again and said, “Bravo” which means well done or something like that. After tbe circus was over, Puss was asked to make a speech, but instead he recited this little poem: Oh. I’m in love with tbe sawdust ring. And on the trapeze I’d like to swing: But my big gray horse I’d rather ride Than anything else I’ve ever tried. —Copyright, 1321. (To Be Continued.)
