If at first you don’t succeed, jump on Snider & Rotz. NOW that the war is officially over, let’s get back to “normalcy.” TJIE TROUBLE with some political moves is that they are too obvious. THE KIDS who get out of school also are enjoying the teachers’ convention. THE COMMUNISTS are continuing their efforts to keep the whole world down on them. THAT grand opera star who told the lawyer to shut up or file a suit apparently has a good publicity advisor. SOMETIMES the National House of Representatives drops nearly to the level of a city campaign in Indianapolis. THAT PROPOSED DISCUSSION of “rules to govern new agencies of warfare” doesn’t sound much like disarmament BOTH the railroads and the brotherhoods seem to desire a strike. Why doesn't somebody consult the ultimate consumer? \ : THAT LETTER of the boy who wishes to be sent to the electric chair will make good evidence when his lawyers attempt to show he is insane. IT wouldn’t have been safe for a mere man to make some of the comments made by woman speakers at the Federation of Clubs convention. a. > , WHAT would the State tax board consider a large amount of money? It has Insisted all along that the State’s part of the public expenses is trivial and now the figures in the Auditor’s office show that it amounts to about $28,000,000 a year. CITY CONTROLLER BRYSON, who is also a candidate for postmaster, has decided to certify the candidacy of Bert S. Gadd for the school board despite the opposition of those who oppose better schools. All of which is a fairly good indication of the waning influence of said opposition. AS WE GET IT, wages are high because the cost of living is high, the cost of living is high because freight is high and freight is high because wages are high. Meanwhile the innocent bystander is playing the goat, as usual, while the roads and the employes are doing the Alphonse and Gaston act Mr. Ralston*s Troubles Foremost among the difficulties that have confronted B. M. Ralston, Democratic candidate for mayor, in his campaign, is the unorganized support which he has suffered at the hands of those various elements who care little for Mr. Ralston’s success but are interested in the defeat of his opponent and their own prominence in the next administration. Scarcely a 'day passes that, in their zeal, they do not attempt to make Mr. Ralston sponsor for something which he has never contemplated and probably never would indorse. For example, there is the ambition of Joseph Rink, once a member of the board of works, to help Mr. Ralston run Indianapolis. Mr. Rink made a name for himself in the Bell administration by directing the painting of the bronze chandeliers and door plates at the city hall because he was unable to appreciate the beauty of the effects produced by the elements as the copper aged. He was also very much Interested in the development of North Meridian street —so much in fact that the thoroughfare was once known as “Joe Rink’s show place.” Now Mr. Ralston has let it be known that he is not under any obliga-; tions to appoint any one to his boards, but that pronouncement does not 1 tend to stop the rumor that Joe Rink has already volunteered his services J as president of the board of works, and the alacrity with which Mr. Rink j discusses the kind of an administration Mr. Ralston would give Indianapolis is frequently taken as substantiation of the theory that Rink is the main sponsor for Ralston in this campaign. This impression might not prove embarrassing to Mr. Ralston were it not so well known that Mr.Rink has, in recent years, become so enamoured of the publicity agency of that part of the Democratic party which is generally directed by John W. Holtzman and whose members are known as News-Democrats. Mr. Ralston, who has never been a part of this combination, finds it exceedingly embarrassing to have his campaign directed for him by the crowd. Especially does it prove embarrassing when it is recalled that long before Mr. Ralston announced his candidacy, Mr. Rink was loudly proclaiming Mr. Ralston’s qualification and offering to underwrite the administration that would follow Mr. Ralston’s election.

Intelligent Collection When one man owes a debt to another and that debt falls due the first man pays and everything is squared up. When one nation owes a debt to another nation it is altogether a different matter. A bill hs now before Congress which Secretary of the Treasury Mellon Bays will mean the payment of. every cent in cash that each foreign country owes to the United States. "The American taxpayers can rest assured that under this bill they will not be cheated out of 1 cent of the money owed by Europe,” is the way Representative Freer of Wisconsin puts it. All this sounds very well, but there are other things to be taken into consideration. Money is not the basis of wealth, but merely a symbol of wealth. Every cent of the actual cash of the world might be grouped in the United States and at the same time millions might be starving. The only way a nation or an individual can live is through production. The payment of every cent that Europe owes might, therefore, very easily prove disastrous to this country. In fact, there are persons who would hold that it would inevitably be disastrous. One of the things that is ailing the economics of this country now is the Inability of Europe to buy. This is one of the reasons for lack of production and lack of production certainly is the reason for unemployment. Meanwhile, there is more money in the country than ever before. If Europe is compelled to pay the United States every cent it owes, Europe must certainly thereby be placed in a situation for a long period of yeara in which it will be unable to buy on any large scale. Taxes there mhst be levied to an absolute fnaximum and every activity thereby cut to a minimum. * The prosperity of the United States depends to a large extent on the prosperity of Europe. The sooner Europe becomes prosperous the sooner the United States will become more prosperous. Would it not be wiser to put the collections on a prosperity basis, taking into consideration the material benefits to be derived, rather than merely so many gold coins? Political Rot! Just about the time the long suffering citizens of Indianapolis had concluded that they were to be spared any more of this rubbish about the “sinister influences” and the ‘‘forces of evil” that stand in the way of “good government and clean politics,” they were treated to a nauseating dose of muck attributed to Harry E. Yockey, which muck "was most notable for the many ways in which the writer attempted to imitate the campaign material that misled the city into the election of so-called “good government officials" four years ago. • Following which Salem D. Clark arises on his own responsibility and seeks “the widest publicity” for a denial of a story about B. M. Ralston that few people had ever heard and none believed. This “widest pubapplied to a denial issued before an accusation is made, doubtless suited the purpose of the organ of publication, but it can hardly be recognized as either ethical or decent by sane minded citizens. Combined, the two afTairs ought to prove a complete answer to those women who were recently asking why men do not take an interest in *****

MADAME PETROVA OPENS TONIGHT At the Murat in ‘The White Peacock?

Newspaper reporter, music hall entertainer, prima donna In musical comedy, dramatic star, screen star, vaudeville headliner, magazine writer and playwright—all these positions have beep, occupied by Madame Olga Petrova, whom the Selwyns will present in ‘‘The White Peacock,” a play written by the star herself, at the Murat tonight and for two performances Saturday. When she was a young girl, studying music and drama in Paris, Madame Petrova fell under the spell of Bernhardt. And oday no other dramatic star excepting the famous French woman can show such a record for versatility and industry. All this Is duo to Madame Petrova's inexhaustible enthusiasm for intellectual works of all sorts and to her long struggle before recognition came to her upon the stage. She has worked hard since she left home, and she works hard still, notwithstanding her financial Independence. Only now site can choose her work. “The White Peacock’’ la a feminist play, a romance of Spanish life In which the heroine refuses to tolerate the double standard of morality. Her husband must live as* he exjiects her to live, honorably; and because he will not, she leaves him. Then she finds true love waiting for her. But the chief point Is that the modern woman must be able to take care of herself; and this reflects Madame Petrova’s own life. Even though Uapptly married to one of the most successful men In the medical profession, Dr. John Stewart, she would not Ihluk of giving up her own professional work. “I am not trjlng to uplift any one or anything,’’ says the star. “But I think the theater should mean more than amusement. An audience leaves the theater with some impression. Why shouldn't it be a good one, one that is worth while? I know that the American audience of the better class is keen and clean and that It appreciates the best we have to offer.” -1- -I- -!- CONCERN* VO MISS FLORENCE MAT.

Shields’ Tennessee River Speech Holds Off Tax Bill Retort to Penrose’s Question Provides Smiles for Minority Senators.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Any woman visiting the Senate gallery about 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon would have been treated to a surprise. Only about a quarter of the Senators’ desks were occupied, but Senator Penrose was In his. That was unusual, but as chairman of the Finance Committee he had come to press the tax reenue bill, one of the two bills which this extra session of Congress was specially urged to pass. Over on the Democratic side. Senator Shie’ds of Tennessee was making a speech on now the Government could obtain cheap power by spending a hundred million or so on the Tennessee River. Senator Penrose clearly looked annoyed. He tapped a pencil Impatiently. Finally his huge figure arose. "What is the use of talking of that when the situation is such that if the Senate does not soon pass this tax revision bill we won’t have any money at all to spend?” he asked. But Senator Shields, who had not yielded/the floor, was quick In his retort. “If fne Senator from Pennsylvania as chairman of the Finance Committee had not delayed the bill for months, we would have passed It by this time.” Senator Penrose: "It la the taetles of the minority that have delayed us.” t The Speaker: “Will the Senator from Tennessee yield to the Senator from Pennsylvania?” Senator Shields: “I will not.

While her sister was leading woman of the Poll Stock i Company at Waterbury, Conn., Miss May was given her first stage engagement Miss May’s hobby outside of horseback riding and reading. Is sleeping, especially in the morning However, as Miss May Is a native of Philadelphia, this latter accomplishment seems to come naturally. -I- -!• -IGRIFFITII'S BIG MOTIVE TO OPEN ENGAGEMENT SUNDAY. “The Birth of a Nation,” bringing forward David W. Griffith's wonderful art of pietorlelized spectacle with music, will play the English’s Theater, starting next Sunday matinee, Oct. 23, with performance twice dally thereafter, at 2:15 and 8:15. This Is the great offering that recently established the remarkable record of pla.vlng to over one hundred and fifty thousand people In a two weeks’ revival at the famous Capitol Theater in New 5 ork city. Nothing like It was ever known before and It is another mark In this extraordinary production which holds the record In so many American and foreign cities. -I- -I- -!- ON VIEW TODAY.

Senator Penrose sits down. Senator Shields continues his speech amid the broad smiles of his Democratic colleagues. Tne tax bill makes no progress. Those who are Impatiently watching for some definite action on the SheppardTowner maternity and Infancy bill will have to wait a little longer. Though the Interstate Comerce Committee of the House had a closed session Thursday, at which the bill was taken under consideration, the committee members are going over it sc carefully, section by section, that more meetings will be necessary before their report will be complete. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. Clemenceau’s Health Reported Improved PARIS, Oct. 21.—The health of formei Premier Georges Clemeneeau has improved sufficiently to warrant his coming to his home here tomorrow, according to an official bulletin issued today.

IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Keeping House With the Hoopers i [The Hoopers, an average American family of live, living in a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Dally 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 an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the cohditions of the high cost of living with them.] / FRIDAY. When the Woman’s Club met at three o'clock It resolved Itself at once into Its working sections, and Mrs. Chapin took Mrs. Hooper’s vacant place as chairman of the home economics department. She brought word to the club that Mrs. Hooper would probably be back with them by the middle of November, and that until she returned they would go on with the discussion of their individual budgets. For the benefit of those who had not been meeting with her small group during the summer, Mrs. Chapin announced that they had already worked out a budget as far as the Item of dress allowance, and that they would now go on from that point, working on the basis of a fifty dollar a week income, which was what the majority of the members of ihe section were allowed as a working capital. “According to scientific apportionment, 14 per cent of the yearly iuoome Is what is allowed for clothing,” continued Mrs. Chapin. “With $2,800 a year this will give $7 for the clothing allowance for the family." "Seven dollars a week I” groaned one woman. “Why. no one can possibly dress a family on that.” “But Mrs. Hooper does It, as well as a lot of other women," championed Mr*. Campbell. "Seven dollar* a week really amount* to $304 a year which isn’t such a smaU gum to dress on.”

"Well, when our little group began figuring on this budget,” confessed Mrs. Chapin, “each one of us found that we were spending nearly SSOO a yejir for clothes, and that Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Hooper were the only ones who had yet succeeded In living within the allowance of $384." The despairing lady who had groaned at the thought of a seven-dollar-a-week limit glanced rather disparagingly at Mrs. Campbell’s renovated tailored suit as she said, “Well, some people may able to do it, and Mrs. Hooper and her children certainly always look well dressed.” “Much better dressed than my family or I are on the same money,” laughed Mrs. Campbell, good naturedly, not having missed the club woman’s critical glance at her clothes. "But I have a great deal yet to learn about spending my seven dollars a week as intelligently as Mrs. Hooper does." “The dress problem differs a good deal from the food problem when it comes to making out a budget,” Mrs. Chapin wont on, “as it must be viewed as a whole and be based on about a three years’ average, instead of being planned from week to week. It is barely possible that in the case of the dress allowance the expenditure for one year would have to exceed the allotted amount in order to get

the family wardrobe properly started. But because of the continued use of articles purchased at the same time the average of expenditures can be maintained throughout." “The first thing for each one of ns to do. then, as I| understand It," said another member of the section, "Is to figure 14 per cent of whatever our respective incomes may he and then, after hiking stock of our present wardrobe, see bow much can be purchased at once without exceeding the allowance we hare permitted ourselves ” “It Is the only way to get the matter straightened out for a fresh start," volunteered Mrs. Campbell. "That is what I did Inst spring at Mrs. Hooper's suggestion. and the plan Is now beginning to work to my entire satisfaction.” "Another thing that we have to remember in making an apportionment for clothes,’’ said Mrs. Chapin, "is that the money must be spoilt according to the needs of the individuals and that the kind of clothes to be purchased for each member of the family depends largely upon what kind of work each one Is doing.” “What I should like to know,” asked another woman, “Is how you can tell what part of the allowance is to be spenv for each member of the family.” “When there are only two. as was the case of the Bride In our small group this summer, the assumption is that the woman’s cU>thing costs more than the mans and two-thirds of the amount may be used for the wife and one-third for the hsuband.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cow ——~ “Sakes Alive!” exclaimed the farmer, who, you remember, In the last story was sitting on the rear seat of the automobile which had frightened the gray mare. “The wimen has now the upper band I” And then bis daughter so rosy and fair smiled at Puss and the old gray mare, but she smiled still more at the gay chauffeur who had gallantly readied her daddy and her. Now I meant to put these lines in verse form, but my typewriter wouldn’t stop to do it, so you will have to read j them over if they don’t rhyme properly until you find out just where the rhymes comes in. Well, as this Jolly party in the auto mobile drove Into the town the parade was coming down the main street and pretty soon it stopped and the speeches commenced. The farmer and the chauffeur stayed to listen, and so did the old gray mare, for she was still tied by her halter to the rear of the automobile, but Puss Jun- | ior and the daughter so rot/ and fair went into a candy shop to buy some sweets and missed all the spee hes. But | they didn't care, for they tot-k an Ice I cream soda. And after that they came back to tho automobile and untied the gray mare, for the chauffeur said he must leave them, as he had to take his mistress shopping. Then the farmer bought some seeds for his farm and by this time it was time to go home. “Come along with us,” said the daughter so rosy and fair, and then Puss climbed up behind and the gray mare never complained a bit, although she had a pretty heavy load with the farmer and his daughter and little Puss Junior. Well, she trotted along, and as no automobile came along and no raven cried croak, she didn’t fall down and break her crown— l mean her knee. I must have been thinking of Jack and Jill when I said that, I gness— and by and by they reached the farm. Puss remembered It all so well—the daffydllls growing la tbe flower garden and the sunflower along the kitchen garden fence, and the honeysuckle on the front porch and the morning glories around the back door. And, oh, yon know what a dear old comfortable farm looks like, don't you? It’s a lovely place to come home to at night when the sun is going down beyond the Western hills and the first faint evening star is coming up over the damp meadows and all the air is still except for a twitter here and there from the trees or a distant crow of some barnyard rooster who is saying good-night to the friendly sun. And now. little children, goodnight, for In the next story It will be morning and Puss Junior will be getting out of bed. —Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

APPEAL SENT TO KANSAS MINERS Lewis Urges Rebellious Ones to Return to Fold for Wage Conflict. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workerg today called upon rebellious Kansas miners to desert their leaders and unite solidly behind the 1 International organization preparatory to tho wage fight next spring. “Coming events In the coal industry have cast their shadow before them and It is necessary that onr household bo placed In order that we may prepare for such days of adversity as may come,” Lewis said. “There is a heavy responsibility upon the shoulders of every member of our union and I am confident that the mine workers of Kansas will rally to the support of our organisation that they may do their full duty in the battle which is to route.” Lewis criticised Alexander Howat, suspended president of the Kansas district, and the Howat followers for the tactics they pursued against the Kansas Industrial court law. He said the Kansas leaders failed to strike at the heart of tne law In their test suits and failed ala© to seek Its repeal. The International union, Lewis said, will test the constitutionality of the law “at the earliest possible opportunity.” He characterized as false ana untrue the propaganda spread through the Kansas fields by the "rump” union movement to the effect that the International organization would sanction Imposition of new conditions on workers at tl>- Dean and Reliance mines where the mi-era walked cut in outlaw strike.
