ONE GOOD THING about rain on the day of a big football game Is that the losing team always has the "wet grounds” alibi. MARSHAL FOCH probably will realize that Sherman was right by the time he gets through all the functions arranged in his honor. PERHAPS the Postofflce Department can spare another man to accompany the next load of valuable mall. Inasmuch as it has been warned there Is to be another robbery. AFTER President Harding returns from his recruiting trip in the "solid South" he will again take up consideration of the railroad strike and the disarmament conference. EUGENE V. DEBS will be released as soon as peace with Germany is consummated, according to a report from Washington. Gene should be an ardent advocate of world peace by this time. Unjust Criticism W. N. Harding’s sensational charges that 20 per cent of the committee of one hundred Republicans supporting Mr. Ralston were not qualified to participate in this municipal campaign was either 111 advised or based on misinformation. To the extent that it was erroneous it has contributed to the muddying of the waters of a campaign that was muddy enough. As we have said before the gentlemen who have courageously left their own party to support a man w.om they believe best fitted to be major are showing a wholesome loyalty to Indianapolis. It is not necessary to be in accord with their methods in order to discern this loyalty. The organization has an undisputed right to exist and function in this campaign. It certainly should not be subjected to abuse and there Is no Justification whatever for the circulation of false statements concerning the qualifications of its members. As we understand the situation, Mr. Harding is not correct in declaring that nine members of the committee are not registered. The correctness of his statement that several of them are otherwise disqualified from voting Is not disputed. His statement that they all live In one section of Indianapolis is, of oourso, irrelevant. The point about this committee which arouses the most admiration is that the men who have joined it have regretfully left their own party because they believe that their duty to Indianapolis Is more than their duty to the Republican party. This, we hope, marks the beginning cf a period in the political history of Indianapolis when partisanship will be subordinated to civlo interest, both In elections and in primaries. Had there been more gentlemen with the courage of the committee of one hundred active in the last primaries there would have been far less dissatisfaction with the party nominees and little need of the committee in this election. We cannot agree with those supporters of Mr. Shank who are now seeking despicable motives behind the members of this committee in the same manner in which they denounce others for attributing such motives to the supporters 'f Mr. Shank. And we do not believe that it is either necessary or desirable that any one should be criticised for expression of preference In this or any other campaign. \ An Insult The statement of John J. Tlgert, United States commissioner of education, to the effect that the American Army wa3 an army of illiterates battling against educated troops, is net enly a reflection on the United Stages, but an insult to the army. He states that 23 per cent of the American Army was illiterate, while only one out of every 6,000 German soldiers could neither read nor write. The figures on their very face seem preposterous. Whatever the facta may he, the amount of education of the troops had far less to do with their Intelligence and morale than the quality of their education. An illiterate American who has some idea of American ideals, and no man could be a member of the army long without such knowledge, ia a far better citizen of the world than a man educated in the machinelike Institutions of Prussia and instilled with the idea that the all-important being In the un-L-erse was the Kaiser, and that every individual was subservient to this beioc Mr. Tigert’s statements sound very much like the old brand of kultur propaganda that was so prevalent in the schools before the war. No person who was educated In the public schools prior to the war can deny that this propaganda was present. Most of us can remember being told In school that Germany was the greatest country educationally and industrially in the world. Not even the United States was excluded. We were taught to look upon the Kaiser’s realm as a land nearing perfection. This state of affairs was one of the prime reasons why it took this country so long to wake up to the German menace to the world. It is time that persons who still persist In teaching German supremacy are removed from the educational affairs of the Nation. A Clean Candidate While much *has been said In this campaign about the number of Democrats who were going to support Mr. Shank for mayor. It Is significant tht nothing has been said as to why Democrats should leave their party for that purpose. * In fact, It is doubtful If any one could offer up a reasonable excuse for desertion of the Democratic nominee. Mr. Ralston has no record In private or public Hfe that requires explanation or excuse. He was fairly nominated at a Democratic primary. He has conducted his campaign under a great many handicaps, yet In a dignified and pers ! atent manner. No speech or statement of his can be construed as a part of the campaign of vilification that has been waged by opponents of his opponent, who can hardly be called supporters of his candidacy. Abuse of the members of the Republican ticket has not come from Mr. Ralston. On the contrary he has tried in every speech he has made to present a constructive program for his administration of the office he seeks. That Mr. Ralston Is qualified for the position of mayor is vouched by some of the best informed citizens of Indianapolis. His record of business success tends to support their indorsement. That he is not the type of candidate who arouses wild enthusiasm on first acquaintance is by no means to his discredit The ability to shake hands m a certain way is not a requisite to the proper administration of the city of Indianapolis. There may be Democrats who have personal reasons for withholding their support from Mr. Ralston, but there appears to be none of them who can advance any reason why he should not receive the solid support of the Democratic party. Foch Calls There are a great many Americans who will be deeply pleased that Marshal Foch made it a prompt duty, upon arriving in Washington, to pay a call upon Woodrow Wilson, ex-President of the United States. The call was so natural an act upon the part of the distinguished French visitor that' we do not know whether or not there was any real personal feeling behind it. We would like to think there was. For despite its naturalness, It came a surprise to most of us The man whose support Foch had in the great war and in the successful fight for a common generalissimo; whom Foch saw later at Versailles as the embodiment of America’s wish that some idealistic achievement should come into the peace treaty—that man has since suffered a fate more tragic than the exile of a king. Balked of his supreme objective, broken in health and power, he has become merely a private citizen, sick and old. And so bitter and successful has been the political attack of his enemies upon him that it is the fashion to speak of him with contempt or with a sneer. Yet there are thousands still who believe that the hand of time will rebuke the contemners of Woodrow Wilson. To them there is anew awakening of hope and respect to the fact that the greatest soldier of the age pays instant homage to him. —Chicago Z.cz:n~ Post. f * r-

The question of Betty's eonraleaoenee came up again at breakfast. "Do you really think, Mary, that you are right In standing up against the doctor's Idea that Betty will get strong so much mere quickly if you take her away to a warm climate?” asked Henry anxiously. “She looks so wasted and pale that I’m dreadfully worried abont her and I am inclined to think we ought to manage somehow to have you go.” “I talked It over at great length with the doctor,” replied Mrs. Hooper, "and I am sure I have convinced him that It will not be absolutely necessary. I told him very frankly that we could not afford any such trip unless he could assure me that there was actual dangsr for Betty if she remained here.” “And what did he say?" asked Henry. "Just what he said last week,” replied lira Hooper, “that it was his opinion that she would get back her strength very much faster, and that he strongly advised that she be taken away but that it was in no sense absolutely necessary and upon that view of It I am basing my decision to keep hex here and nurse her back to health.” ■‘Well. I’m as disturbed as I can be about It.” repeated Henry, taking a second cup of coffee, “because I can’t help feeling that It Is your dislike of going Into debt for anything that Is keeping you from following his advice; and I toll you, Mary, It wouldn't pay to take any silch chances.” ‘T've always had to mske these decisions about things that rare going to put ns In debt,” replied Mrs. Hooper slowly, “and I have never yet been wrong. There was the same argument, you remember, about the trained nurse that the doctor insisted upon when he first came.” “Yes, I know, and I was Just as alarmed as I am now when you decided not to have her.” admitted Henry. “And yet I firmly believe that If she Ve TOWNE GOSSIP Copyright, I*Bl. by Star Company.

had been left to a nurse she would have had no greater chance of pulling through than when she was given Into my care." "I quite agree with you now,” was Mr. Hooper's reply, “and of coarse I may admit later that you were right In this matter of staying home with her Instead of taking her away.’ “But you don’t feel that way now," commented Mrs. Hooper. “No, I am sure that I do not,” answered Henry emphatically. “I really think you pught to go.” “Have you any Idea what a trip like that would cost?” asked Mrs. Hooper quizzically. “No, I haven’t figured It up,” responded Mr. Hooper. “Well, I have,” replied Mrs. Hooper, “and I should need several hundred dollars to cover fares and living expenses and all the extra things that one has to pay for when one Is away from home, with an Invalid. The doctor admitted that I would need that much money.” “Well, we could easily get it from I Belle,” Insisted Henry. "She Is very anxious that you should go.” "No,” replied Mrs. Hooper firmly. "This Is the first time that we have been faced with the possibility of having to borrow money to tide us over an emergency and I have positively decided against It.” “Well, I hope It will work out all right, but I’d feel less worried about going in debt than I am about Betty's recovery,” sighed Henry as he left the breakfast table. "I'm sorry I can’t make you feel as confident as I am that I am really acting within reason,” said Mrs. Hooper following him out to the front door, “but as long as yon are so anxious about her remaining here would you be willing to have me send her to a warmer climate In care of the Bride? That would greatly diminish the expense as she Is going anyhow and wants to take her. “Good gracious, no!” exclaimed Henry In alarm. “I wouldn’t let her go away with any one bnt you! Why, neither of □s would have a minute’s peace of mind.” “If I thought It were absolutely necessary for her to go, I should be almost willing to send her with the Bride,” replied Mrs. Hooper quietly, "rather than go to the expense of the trip for myself. Beside I trust her as a nurse absolutely.” nenry looked his astonishment. “You certainly are queer, Mary. But what Is the Bride going South for? Her husband dtdn't say anything about a trip and I came home with him on the train the other day. "She has gone up on the early train and Is to be In the city all day but she Is coming In tomorrow to toll me Just what. br plans are and exactly why she Is going.” * The menus for Thursday are: BREAKFAST.

Daily Fashion Hints

By AOKES AYRES, Star In Pimmaani Pictures. Here la an altogether charming negligee, a fashionable negligees, arresting for its stylo and detail, as well as for tta grace and beauty. The collar la one of those Japanese affaire of a fold that £.oea not fit, but flares a little from a straight across neck. Apparently short sleeves have a straight, aquare ended fold, falling from the under arm to the anklea and weighted with a heavy band of short dark fur. A narrow band of the same fur serves as a hem on the very uneven skirt—a •fclrt that ends In two points, demonstrating the popular aide train. Surely, If we cannot resist the grace and lure of a train there Is no better place to exploit It than In a tea gown negligee or 1 dinner dr.-ea. The metal girdle, worn well Ibelow the waist line and fastened with three Jew- i elled dlaca, Is very good, too, tbongh our greater favor goes to the girdle of brocade or of *Uk or Telvet embroidered , elaborately with silk, metal thread or beads This negligee ha* taken thought for the merrow, too, and given heed to both the weather prophets and the coal barons, for it fa made of heavy velvet, warm even In color, being ono of the lovely new reds we wear so much this winter It* fur Is a most pleasing contrast, j being a soft, uneven, dark brown, neither too long nor too heavy for Its particular use. Laat season one felt that the limit had been reached In the matter of the use of fur, but this season has established a new record. Not only aro the fur wraps for day and evening wear much more numerous but we nre trimming everything with It. even lining the collars of street dresses, and now It Is used to finish this negligee. and repeat with the oysters, and have the last layer the buttered crumbs. Bake for twenty five or thirty minutes in hot oven. Never hare more than two layers , of oysters In your pan If you wish them to cook uniformly. ROAST PORK. Wipe roast, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on rack In roasting pan. Roast In moderate oven for three or four hours, according to the size of tW roast. Basts often during the roasting. Bour off some of the fat and make a brown gravy In the pan, tamo a* for other roasts. Sarve with apple sauce. TOMATO JELLY SALAD. One quart of tomatoes stewed and strained. Season with salt, cayenne, powdered sugar and add two tablespoon-' fuls of granulated gelatin# dissolved In hot water. Ponr Into small cups c-r darlole molds Just enough to aerv* one person. Unmold on leaves of lettuao and garnish with mayonnaise dressing. Helpful Household Hints ' Some people undoubtedly dislike the flsvor of lamb—they aay It has “woolly” taste. These people have eaten lamb from which the “fell” has not been removed. The fell or outside skin la tough and oily and should always bo taken off try the housewife, if the butcher falls to do It. Lamb cooked without the fell ha* no woolly flavor and. Is very tender and Juicy. Cayenne pepper makes oysters and fish 1 a safe enjoyment for those with whom they disagree actively If this be not j used, and lemon Juice further counteracts the evil effects of the fish oil and the dreaded ptomaine. Never buy cheap linen. If you can \ not afford the finest, you may secure that which is “all linen.” round-threaded and evenly woven A little practice in the purchase of these treasures will Initiate you Into th# art of Judicious choosing. Having bought good “material,” take care of It. A break in a table-cloth or nap-

kin or towel, if neatly darned, will givo you several more weeks wear out of It — perhaps months. Hemstitched articles are liable to “give” first in the drawn work, and a stitch here In times saves many. PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

TAYLOR HOLMES ASKS A QUESTION And Then Answers It in ‘Smoo th as Sill?

Should a crook marry an Innocent girl? That question is asked by Taylor Holmes, 'the actor, who takes the leading role In “Smooth ns Silk.” In discussing this question, Mr. Holmes states: “Never In my career as a stage and screen actor has • the climax of any of my plays caused so much comment as In Smooth as Silk,’ which Willard Mack has sp kindly written for me. The unusual twist that close* the romance of the story seems to contain that something that forces audiences to go right home and take their pen In hand. Really, I have no time for golf because, after | SOME HERO RUDOLPH VALENTINO. Here Is a picture for your movie album of Rudolph Valentino, who plays the hero role, that of Julio Desnoyers, in the movie version of “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” now on view at the Murat. lie is not only a splendid actor, but Is a dancer of great skill. The “Four Horsemen” proves that. Rex Ingram directed the movie and Metro released it. reading my dally bag of correspondence, it is time to go to the theater, i “I don’t wish to bore you with the plot of the play, but will try to give you a brief Idea of how Mr. Mack has helped to make my life as active as the busy little bee. In the role of ’Silk’ Mullane, an International cracksman. Is a character that wins the love of an Innocent girl. ’lsllk’ Is smooth, sijave and sensitive. But ha Is a crook. The girl loves him for himself, never giving a second thought to hls adventurous methods of procuring a livelihood. So, at the finish of the play, when he leaves her to again go out Into the world, the question arises as to whether ho has done the right thing inasmuch ns It is plainly evident that he is madly In love with her. “Out of 7SO letters, 550 agreed that a crook has not the right to marry an Inexperienced girl, declaring that Mr. Mack’s surprising climax is the only logical one. The other 230 writers insisted that the ending Is ’all wrong' because true love, they said, can overcome all obstacles and accomplish all thingß Including the reformation of a lawbreaker. "This controversy has caused long talks between Mr. Mack and myself. Together we have written and rewritten the dialog at the finish of the play in an attempt to smooth the girl's anguish over losing her sweetheart. I think I have hit on the right course at last. But you will have to see the play to get the effect of the little new touch that ends what used to be a very unpleasant scene. “Pardon me, please, the mall man has Just brought anew batch of letters. In one I am wrong and in two I ara right. You'll have to Judge for yourself.” "Smooth as Silk” comes to English's

Washington Briefs Spclal to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—lt is a long .time since Washington was thd scene of a more brilliant evening party than the 10 o'clock reception at the French embassy In honor of Marshal Foch. Barring only the presence of the President, the Government of the United States was on hand, la the flower of all three cf its branches, to do honor to France’s world hero. Chief Justice Taft, Associate Justices Mcßeynolds and Pitney, Secretaries Hughes and Denby, Senators Lodge, Moses, Capper, Lenroot and McCormick, General Pershing, Admiral Benson, Robert Lansing, and a host of foreign ambassadors and ministers, were among the numerous personages of distinction who graced the sumptuous drawingrooms of the embassy. Marshal Foch, flanked by the French ambassador and Madame Jusserand, proved an Indefatigable handshaker at the head of the receiving line. Even the Americans in Washington society are not, as a class, French speakers, but the Marshal's smile wreathed countenance betokened incessant evidence that th# wamrth of their greeting lost nothing because of Its rendering In a language with which he himself is not acquainted. The fine home of Mrs. Charles A. Munn, at the Junction of Massachusetts avenue and Scott Circle has been placed at the disposal of David Lloyd George during the armament conference. Mrs. Munh Is the mother-in-law of Mrs. Guerney Munn of Philadelphia, formerly Miss Marla Louiso Wanamaker. In the heart of the residential and diplomatic quarter the mansion, too, Is only a few squares away from the hotel Lafayette in Sixteenth street, where the British delegation proper will have Its domicile. The Munn home was the residence of Simon Guggenheim, when he was United States Senator from Colorado. Os brown *tone and red bric'. and capacious dimensions, It lends Itself admirably to entertainment on the grand scale. The probabilities are that history will be made within Its walls before many weeks ere past. There Is the utmost keenness In Washington to see and hear "L. 0.,” r.s hls political cronies call the Britain I rime minister. If the eternal Irish controversy chains him to Downing street, the De Valera cause wil gain no frlenda hereabouts. Eight of America’s most famous admirals and generals will accompany General Pershing, when he leads th# funeral procession in honor o? the unknown dead from the Capitol to Arlington Cemetery on Armistice Day. They are: Rear Admiral William B. Sims: Rear Admiral Robert E. Coontz; Rear " dmlral Hilary P. Jones: Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles; Lieut. Gen. S. B. M. Young; Maj. Gen. Taaker H. Bliss; MaJ. wen. Robert L. Bullard, and Maj. Gen. John A. De Jeune. Three other admirals aud nine generals will act as honorary pallbearers. One of the several’’grand old men” who will serve In high position at the Washington conference Is Sir John Jordan, K. C. 8.. for nearly half a century a British official in China and the Far East. Sir John probably is the world’s foremost English speaking expert on Chinese u(fairs. He is in his 70th year, but his knowledge of conditions in the Orient is so profound that the British government feels his counsel in Washington will be intllspenslble. Beginning as a student interpreter In China In 1870, he served Intermittently In that country and Korea, and from 1906 until his retirement two years ago was British minister at Pekin. Members of Congress lament that they do not expect to be conspicuously In the Washington picture during the next ninety days. Ordinarily the “hill” usurps far more attention In the news than “downtown” —the colloquial term for the executive branch of the Government. No one is optimistic enough to hope that the spellbinders of either Senate or House will find it possible entirely to keep off the conference grass. Indeed, there are disquieting suggestions that on the very eve of the parley several oratorical explosions dealing pointedly with conference questions, are timed to reverberate. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
