EX-KING CHARLIE, haring attempted to emulate Napoleon, will now face the fate of Napoleon. THIS is no time for the solicitation of unnecessary funds from school children or any one else. THOSE unsuccessful Southport bank robbers should have taken a policeman into their confidence. THAT INDIANAPOLIS MAN who was slugged and robbed at Terre Haute probably felt at home, CERTAIN SENATORS are now proposing to tax that which under the Constitution is presumed not to exist WHEN those railroad men get it through their hear's that there is nothing the railroads would like better than a strike they will quit. THE MAYOR of Atlanta went to a football game when President Hardbig arrived in the city, but it is understood the negro population turned out |n force. GOME DAY some of our "good citizens" are going to learn that it is test to ask the permission of a citizen before appointing him or her in a Committee. STATE AUDITOR OLIVER spoke a mouthful when he said that taxes cannot be reduced until public officials practice economy and some of the Commissions are abolished. VICE ADMIRAL KATO says Japan stands ready to cut her navy. Perhaps our neighbor in the Orient will set an example for the other Nations at the peace conference. TWO PETITIONS for rate reductions have been filed by operators of ntility plants this week. Perhaps if the public service commission would lake a look around it would find other utility owners who would not object to decreases, although they may be too timid to ask for them. Democratic Opportunity Those Democrats of Indianapolis who may be contemplating casting their ballots for any other than their own party nominees in this city election will doubtless first give consideration to these things: 1. The nominee for mayor undertook with considerable courage to carry his party’s banner at a time when the prospects of success were far less alluring than at present, and when he was earnestly advised by his friends that the race meant only a loss of time and money to him. 2. That the disintegration of the Democratic party in Indianapolis this fall would be a final admission that there is no basis for any opposition to t .'£ Republican majority in Indianapolis and a practical annihilation of the old organization. 3. That the failure of the Democratic party to muster its own strength at a time when thousands of Republicans are turning to it not only would preclude any possibilities of victory, but would utterly discourage those who have had enough of Republican misrule and are now anxious to vote in a manner that will bring about a better government in Indianapolis. Samuel Lewis Shank has been frank enough to tell the people of the north 3ide of Indianapolis that he knows many of them do not want him in the mayor’s office. B. M. Ralston might as well be as frank and concede that there are many members of the Democratic party who do not care a particle whether he becomes mayor or not Mr. Shank’s argument is that "you might as well take me as that ether fellow." Mr, Ralston might urge upon the Democrats who are little interested In him that hl£ candidacy in reality represents the efforts of a badly disorganized local party that with difficulty could survive his defeat. There are today In Indianapolis thousands of "doubtful" voters who represent those persons dissatisfied with the kind of administration they have received from the Republican party in the last eight years. Those "doubtful voters” are looking for a place to align themselves where they will be assured of a change in faces in public offices. They turned to Mr. Shank in the primaries because they believed he offered the only chance of a "house cleaning" at the city hall. Today, they would willingly turn to Mr. Ralston if they could be satisfied of a "new deal" with Democratic success. These “doubtful voters." combined with a full Democratic vote, could easily elect Mr. Ralston and the otheis on his ticket. Are Democratic chances of success to be thrown away through the desertion at this critical time of those voters w'ho have long taken pride in the rooster?

Belated Repentance! If Mrs. John C. Ruckelshaus, who admits unfamiliarity with political Jilstory, wishes enlightenment concerning the improper domination of the police force in the former Shank administration and Mr. Boyd M. Ralston wishes an answer to his question as to why Mr. Shank resigned, their Wishes may be fulfilled without dependence on the newspaper of doubtful ownership which is now- engaged in falsifying the facts as to both. No one can deny that the Indianapolis police department went out of the control of Mayor Shank the last year of his administration. No one knows this better that the guiding genius of the newspaper that now charges It and then ordered it No one can deny that Samuel Lewis Shank resigned from the office of mayor under fire. No one knows that better than the controlling Influence In the newspaper that is now censuring Shank therefor. For, did not Delaran Smith, then posing as the "sole owner” of the Indianapolis Ne-vs Urge Shank, In a personal conversation, to submit his resignation in ord?r that Karry Wallace might be groomed for the next mayoralty candidate? This delving into ancient political history for material to be used in this campaign would be very interesting if it were pertinent. In the course of the delving It would not be hard to disclose how an unprincipled gang of thugs was protected by both the police and a newspaper for months; how and why that story of the “twelve missing girls a month” was framed and promulgated; how the unsophisticated gentlemen who constituted the church federation at that time were induced to call upon Mr. Hyland for enforcement of the laws; who was the man who “tipped” the liquor law violators as to the necessity of closing their places of business and why. The Inside story of all these things has never yet been made public in Indianapolis. The persons who are so solicitiohs of Mrs. Ruckelshaus’ education In political history will never make that story public because they dare not. And in the meanwhile, no one is likely to attach any particular significance to the efforts of a thoroughly discredited institution to protect its own participation in these old affairs by a sanctimonious exhibition of shell-shock, nearly ten years belated. Winning Honors Those women of Indianapolis who hare the temerity to express publicly their views of political questions should not be at all disturbed by the alacrity with which the appearance of their names is accepted as a signal for ridicule or abuse. That is the way politics is played by certain interests in Indianapolis. Fortunately, the general public is beginning to regard it as a high honor for one to become the target of these mudslingers. For example, there is Charles A. Bookwalter, who rises in esteem in the community every time an attempt is made by the mudslingers to discredit him. Mr. Bookwalter has not, for years, taken any more active part in politics than the straightforward expression of his personal sentiments. Yet, never a campaign rolls around that he is not subjected to more or less abuse. In this community it is not what is said about one, but who says it that counts, \

IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Keeping House With the Hoopers [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the ho lie are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper hag evolved and found practical. Follow them dally in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] FRIDAY. Tho Bride was most enthusiastically welcomed when she put In a.- appearance at the Woman's Club, and when she gave the members Mrs. Hooper’s message that she probably would be able to be at the meeting the second Friday In November, they all expressed their pleasure and satisfaction that she could be with them again so soon. The Home Economic Section was called to order by Mrs. Chapin, who suggested that they bring the discussion of the dress budget to a close as quickly as possible, because they were anxious to take up the consideration of operating expenses. She reminded them algo that the real discussion of tho troublesome points In the budget would come when Mrs. Hooper was In her place as the presiding chairman, and could help them with really practical suggestions. "One thing I would like to say before wo leave the subject of tbe family allowance for dress," began Mrs. Owen, ‘is that I have completly changed my mlad about what I at first considered the Impossibility of dressing a family of five on $7 a week, or $364 a year, when y>u have a weekly income of SSO. There is some adjusting to be done in order to get started right, especially If one has been living In as careless and haphazard a fashion as I have In relation to our clothes, but after figuring It out carefully and giving a good deal of thought

Daily Fashion Hints | Tv tie t yuo oI- • BT AGNES AYRES, Star In Paramount Pictures. Here Is another pretty frock that is an all-American design to make us reasonably and honestly proud of our own talent. Although gowns designed In Paris usually receive the greatest favor here, many of the American made frock., are Just as pretty and sometimes even more so. This frock, made in one of the big Eastern cities, Is a rust colored duvetyn. richly trimmed with racoon, an old standby In trimmings, and, while simple In lines and design, has very cleverlyfollowed the mode In every detail and yet retained a satisfactory amount of conservation. For Instance, the skirt is short, almost as short as those we wore this summer, and yet the side panels simulate the ankle length skirt sponsored by Paris. The fur collar Is the newest of the new, absolutely of the moment, while the neck line of the blouse Is the straight across one that we have worn and Uked for sometime. Long and walstless, after the present dictates of fashion, a low way* line Is suggested by the two curving bands Just above either hip and Info which the side fullness of the frock is gathered. The sleeves are slightly flaring, cuffed with fur, and fall somewhat over the hand. Last, hut by no means least, are the roses and leaves which finish the belt on the right side, and gracefully weight either panel. They are made entirely of the rust colored duvetyn and seem to melt delightfully.

Men You May Marry By ETHEL R. PEYSER

Has a man like this ever proposed to you? Symptoms: Trifling little runt, starts his stunts the minute you're alone with him. Mores up closer than he ought on the seat, and acts the heavy lover before he’s paid for his admission to your regard. He’s a wild one. You get peeved, yet you think he’s thrilling. Yet yon get tired of keeping him at his, no, rather, ut your distance. IN FACT, He is short dash stuff, can’t play a waiting game. T}/) Prescription to his bride: Jy> Be content to get your thrills outside. He’ll settle / down to his book and business. Absorb This: WILD MEN BECOME EARLY SETTLERS iN MARRIAGE. (Copyright, 1921.)

as to Just how to make a fresh start, I am perfectly certain It can be done.” "You may be very sure it can,” added Mrs. Campbell, heartily, “and ones in the swing of it 1 tellers it is possible to look better dressed than we over did before." "Os course." volunteered the Bride timidly, "rou probably all think that where there are only two In the family the problem of clothes is one to which very little attention need be given. But It is really the appalling extraragance of most young couples about this one item that often causes all of their financial difficulties, and if they began to regulate this expenditure according to the limits permitted by a scientifically arranged budget It would make all the difference in the world In the rest f their living. When I was first married, although 1 hadn t the least need of clothes, because I had a very extensive wardrobe. I kept on buying new things every week or so for no other reason than that I had money that I thought ought to be spent that way, which came out of my husband's Income regularly. But Mrs. Hooper pointed out to me what a senseless sort of way that was: and now, Instead of filling my closets with things I don’t need, and then hnlvng to get rid of great stacks of them Just to get them out of tho way, I take care of every Individual garment, and when It has entirely outlived Its usefulness 1 replace It with something else that definitely fills the space that It has vacated. The result Is that my weekly dress allowance piles up and when either nij husband nr I want anything worth wbtle we have plenty of money to buy one good garment. Instead of having it all frittered away In a lot of senseless things." "Os course you understand," said Mr*. Chapin when the Bride had finished he long speech to which the members had listened most attentively, "that the allowance for clothing covers not only the actual wearing apparel purchased, but also must include the cost of all material, sowing supplies ns well as all tailor and repair charges, and the cost of pressing and cleaning them ” As the women had all understood this and each one of them reported that shj had figured out her drees allowance on the basis of her weekly income and had her individual budget r<ady for discussion wheu Mrs. Hooper corns back, they went on to the subject of operating expenses. “On this Income of SSO * week which ! what we are building our pattern budget around," continued Mrs. Chapin, "we are allowed si) a week or $468 a year fur operating expenses which Is IS per emit of the yearly income." “What does operating expenses Include?" asked one of the women. “It provides for help, fuel, light, telephone, house supplies and furnishings," replied Mrs. Chapin. J hat locks to me to be even a more difficult sum to live up to than the one lor elotheg, objected a second woman. “It would be Impossible to havo auv help at all at the present rate of wages If you only have SSO a week.” "Well I think no one should try to manage anything but on occasional helper or a laundress on that Income,” observed Mrs. Chapin, "and 1 want to tell you that It Is much easier to do that, I believe than to have an operating expense budget that permits yam a maid or two, and then to try to live within It. The club members, knowing that Mrs Chapin had this difficulty laughed at her feeling remark Now If you will do with your operating expense allowance Just what you did with your dress budget In relation to your income we will discuss it further next week,” concluded Mrs. Chapin.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. " By David Cory Well, as I told you In the last story, the miller got up behind Puss Junior on the good gray horse, who didn’t mind the extra veiglit at all, and away they went to find the miller's brother who lived beside the rlvsr Dee and who found upon his pillow an aggravating flea. And afier they had tra eled for a long, long time they came to the town of Molaceo. And here they found that one of tbe old men In the town had died that very morning. And who ho was you shall henr In this New Mother Goose Rhyme. There wag an old man of Molacco. Who %;t and ROioked all day tobacco. He smoked and he smoked, Till he finally croaked, / And of course then he never came back-o. But Puss Junior and the miller didn’t wait to hear more, but rode through the town and out again, until, by and by, they came to a great bridge. And here the good gray horse stopped and neighed. But why lie did that I don't know, unless

It was to tell the toll keeper to open the gates. Well, that’s Just what he did, however, and Puss paid the toll, which was three cents, I think, and then they rode upon the bridge. Clank, clank! went the hoofs of the good gray horse, and Puss whistled a merry tune the words of which, if I remember rightly, went like this: “Heigh, ho, riding we go, Fast, then slowl Fast, then slow! Over the hills aijj through the dells. Past the cows with the tinkling bells. Fast the farmer sowing his corn, Little Boy Blue In the early morn, And the funny old cow with the crumpled horn. "That js a merry tune," said the miller, “It makes me feel younger.” And, do you know, he began to whistle just like a boy. And then the good gray horse picked up his ears and threw out his heels and cantered off at a lively gait, and pretty soon they were over the bridge and far away. And then something happened. The saddle girth broke and off slipped the saddle with Puss Junior and the miller. Bu> wasn't it lucky, neither was hurt, and the good gray horse stopped at once and turned back. He wasn't like so many horse*, that wonld have Just run away and left them all alone on a strange rond In a strange country. No, he was a good friend. Well, the miller picked up the saddle and tried to strap It on the good gray horse, but he couldn't, for the strap was broken and wouldn't hold at all. “Well, we must walk,” said Puss. "Yonder stands a farmhouse. Perhaps there Is someone there who can mend it for us." And In the next story you shall hear how Puss borrowed anew saddle.—Copyright, 1921. (To Bo Continued.) John Doe, Hunted for Years, Is Found CHICAGO, Oct. 29—John Doe. the world's "greatest criminal” and prisoner In a thousand American towns and cities, has been found. He appeared in Judge David's Criminal Court. Arrested, with two other men. on charge of a confidence game, his name was questioned. "Are you really John Doe?” asked Judge David. "Ah sure ara, Yer Honor,” replied Doe. "Well, ws've been hunting for you for seven hundred years. You certainly have some ancestry.’’ Doe was charged with “squeezing" $6 out of an alleged victim In a pool game.

HOOVER TAKES INITIATIVE TO AVERT FAMINE Asks Congress to Piace Otherwise Useless Surplus in Volga Valley. CONDITIONS SET OUT Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S. Herbert Hoover, as head of the American Relief Association, has appealed to Congress to assist In a small way toward averting a famine In tbe Volga valley, now threatening the lives of 15,000.000. In a letter to Representative Kahn of California, chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee, he asked the War Department to be authorized to place at the disposal of the relief forces otherwise useless surplus material. "Secretary Weeks informs us that there are considerable quantities of such things as used clothing, surplus medical and food supplies costing the Government large amounts for storage and preservation,” Mr. Hoover's letter said, "and I believe no greater purpose could be found for their application tnan in saving human life in this great area of distress.”

DESOLATION* AND j DESPAIR PICTURED. j Once probably the largest and most fer- | tile valley In Europe, the Volga district, according to reports from John P. Gregg j and I>r. Vernon Kellogg made public ;by Mr. Hoover, is now the picture of I starvation, desolation and despair. In describing the conditions In the Tar- ' tar socialist soviet republic, an "autono- ; inous republic” responsible to the central j soviet government, Mr. Gregg stated the drought In the Volga valley has resulted Jln a complete failure of the crops with no surplus to carry the country ovei to the next harvest. His description of conditions. In part follows: “The consequence of this calamity has been, prlmarly. starvation in the villages and Its upprouch In the cities. The peasants have started to migrate, most of them going to Turkestan, with the Polish Immigrants re-emlgratlng to Poland, all leaving all they owned behind: the total •unorganised migrations to date have been about 72,000 with an organized additional flight ot about the same number. SCANTY HARVEST IN PROSPECT. “The Russian villages have some vegetables planted and In a few eases will harvest a very scanty crop of second growth of oats though the rye crops were a complete failure: the Tartar villages on the other hand, have In most cases nothing whatever. All villages In the worst stricken areas are living practically altogether on grass, roots, some few potatoes and a little meat, the latter only a sacrifice to the family table of a last and in'ueh needed domestic animal. “The majority of the children and some of the adults are already swollen with bloat caused by such a diet and the death rate is high, though exact figures are not available. Epidemics are not common. Cholera has been almost wiped out and the season for typhus has not yet commenced. There is, however, a great deal of dysentery and ran - I larla and there are no medicines to com- j bat them. ‘‘The total number of children in the republic is about 1.250,000. Os that num- j ber, the following are taken care of by the government: Thirty thousand entirely In the institutions and hospitals. 250.000 partially in schools, receiving ' black bread and coffee daily, and the j rest of their nourishment at home. Practically no assistance is given in villages j where the need is and will be the great- ! est. There are 500,000 between the ages ! of 5 and 15 that receive no help and j 400.000 4 years and tinder that are in the same condition. Such assistance as the government is now giving it threatens to withdraw on Oct. I.”—Copyright, 1021, by Public Ledger Company.

| above all the others. The big three of ! this musical comedy consists of Skeet. Gallagher, Mark Smith and Gertrude* . O’Connor In an eccentric part, j Those who like young people in the cast, meaning youth, a female dancer who needs only a leaf to remind one o! j Eve and those who go to the theater to take life easy, will find "Up In the i Clouds” much to their liking. Skeet Gali lagher, and by the way this breezy chap jis from Terre Haute, really made me think kindly at times of the whole pro- | ceedings. ! Skeet creates a comedy breeze all the ; time he Is on the stage. He is a Uke--1 able chap with a pleasing and individual | way about him. He does things differi ently In a comedy way on the stage than one would suspect it should be done. That Is due to personality and Skeet has tons of It. He Is cast a , Bud Usher, a camera man with a movi. troupe. Skeet In this play does not speak In terms of the classics as he gazes into the opened mouth of Ruby Airedale, a faded society bud. as played by Gertrude O'Connor In a splendid fashion, and declares, "Oh, what lovely tonsils.” That is not a classic expression, but It made me laugh as I realized that for these many years I never considered tonsils a i a thing ot beauty or possessing comedy attributes. Skeet proved to me last night that his remarks on “tonsils” possessed the requirements to make one laugh. Gertrude O'Connor Is a sort of a musical comedy clown who depends at times on a grosteque make-up to convulse her audience and at other vals she proves that she knows how to burlesque u classical dance In a mighty clever way. Infact. she and Gallagher have a dandy burlesque on “At the Fountain” dance. The activities of these two do a great deal In giving some charming moments of rare fun to this show.

Mark Smith Is built along comfortable lines, meaning he weighs more than thel others In the cast. He possesses a natural comedy touch to his work. This Is noticed in a number called, “Nobody Knows.” Hal Van Rensselaer, who Is cast as Archie Dawson, a young chap who desires to produce a patriotic movie In order to make his girl a iig success, handles his numbers In a natural sort of a way. He Is of the matinee type. There are numerous others In the cast who pick up the threads of a very slender story which runs through the piece. 7 he dance and ballet numbers are exceptionally well done. In one dance number, a female dancer Is closely observed because of her apparent lack of what the ancients termed as clothing. Beads appear to constitute the major part of her wearing apparel in one dance. The ballet at the beginning of the first act Is a beautiful and original creation which fits nicely into the setting of this act. Several novelties In staging song numbers are Introduced, one I recall which la named. "I See Your Face,” as rendered by Hal Rensselaer and Patricia O'Hearn. Frankly. I was disappointed in the girl who played the role of Jean Jones. The program gave her name as that of Patricia O Hearn. She did not appear to be natural aad her make-up. especially on her first entrance, recalled the fact that paint and powder and pencil over the eyes can be placed In too large quantities. If the Jean role was strengthened to keep pace with the speed set by the big three, the show would be greatly Improved. I might have expected too much of "Up In the Clouds" as the Elks who gave the biggest theater party of the season at the Murat last night, appeared to receive muc{i enjoyment Probably I was all wrong last night when I wasn’t moved to applause with the others. i “Up In the Clouds" appears to be one* of those summer breezes, which Is Intended to please the tired business man. As I was tired last night and am nbt a business man, I wasn't moved to the tenth heaven of enjoyment. If you enjoyed “Take it From Me.” this new comedy by Will B Johnstone who wrote "Take It From Me” will probably fill the bill from an entertainment standpoint. "Up in the Clouds” Is on view tonight, Saturday matinee and night at the Murat On Sunday night. "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" will open a week's engagement

Child Sees Funeral of Father Unseen ANNISTON. Ala.. Oct. 28—While men shoveled earth on the casket which contained the body of James Leroy Pisspain. Alabama war hero, who was killed in France, and a bugler sounded "taps,” the 3-year-old son of the dead soldier, who had never seen his father alive looked on with big, wondering eyes. “Why do they shoot those Mg guns, 4 mamma?” Inquired the little fellow of" his mother ns a squad of former soldiers, fired a salute over the dead hero's graven Pisspain's body arrived here several days ago from overseas.
