PRESIDENT HARDING has proclaimed Nov. 24 as Thanksgiving day, much, to the surprise of every one. THOSE PERSONS who advocated the purchase of coal in the summer are now In a position to say, “I told you so.” VIENNA BOOTBLACKS are reported to be earning 3,000 kronens a day. How do the customers carry their pocket money over there? SECRETARY MELLON does not appear to have Improved hia popularity since he became a member of President Harding s official family. BE PATIENT, voters! After the election you may find out just how many mistakes the Republican party made in the last primary. NO ONE envies the job of those newly elected officials in North Dakota in straightening dut the financial tangle of the Nonpartisan League. TOM GARVIN may not he an “enthusiastic lawyer,” but he continues to be the best qualified candidate for police judge regardless of all changes! THOSE COAL MINERS who are striking because 6f the latest Federal Injunction are giving evidence that the injunction was founded on sound theories. What Nominated Shank? It must afford considerable amusement to the outsider to hear the various explanations offered for the success of Samuel Lewis Shank in the primaries. They are so entertaining and varied that they leave one gasping for breath as they are offered up from the stump and in the press. Mr. John Holtzman that Shank was nominated on the Republican ticket by the votes of Democrats who were “coerced” into voting for him. Also, he declares that Shank was nominated by stolen votes and votes “bought with stolen whisky." The Indianapolis News declares that Shank was nominated by a combination of the “hosts of darkness,” who overcame the “united efforts of all the good people” to nominate Mr. Thomas Carr Howe. Previously to the primary Mayor Jewett declared that the nomination of Mr. Shank would be a “repudiation’’ of his administration. Mr. Shank himself has declared that he owed the nomination to Democrats, who combined with Republicans to help him break control of the ring that was bossing Indianapolis. Now we are informed that Republicans are so incensed over the action of their party in nominating Mr. Shank that they are combining with the Democrats to defeat him at the polls! Out of this mass of misinformation the voter Is welcome to select hfs own theory and reflect on whether or not it Is sufficient to Influence his vote. But the real truth about the nomination of Mr. Shank is that it was brought about through a comlrination of dissatisfaction with the present Republican administration and the drawing power of Mr. Shank’s personality. These two influences are yet the most powerful in the campaign. Supporters of Mr. Shank cannot conceive of his administration resembling that of Mayor Jewett. They cannot be taken out of the sphere o? influence of his own peculiar personality. And it is indeed unfortunate that these two influences have not received greater consideration from those who have conducted the campaign to prevent the election of the Republican ticket.

Schools or No Schools? Neither Mr. Barry, Marie Haslep, Adolph Emhardt, Charles R. Yoke or Fred Bates Johnson has as yet taken the trouble to inform the people of this community how they propose to provide "a seat for every pupil in a modern fireproof building” without sel'.iqg school bonds bearing 5 per cent interest for less than par in the remote contingency that they should ever constitute the Indianapolis school board. They have, however, definitely pledged themselves not to sell a single school bond for less than par, even though they well know that no bonds of this type can be sold at par. Asa matter of fact, these candidates, who constitute a slate named by reactionaries who are even today standing in the way of new school buildings, are running on a platform that is contradictory and impossible of achievement. Either they propose to abandon the platform if elected or they propose that no more school buildings shall be built in Indianapolis. If they do not intend to be bound by their platform, then they are unsafe candidates for the board. If they do intend to be bound by their platform then they represent the sentiments of only a few" citizens of Indianapolis who are so enamoured of iheir dollars (mat they would willingly see the children of the city deprived of educational facilities. The appeal of this slate for the support of the citizens of Indianapolis is so fraudulent and so thoroughly hypocritical that It ought to fall of Its own weight. Every vote given this slate will be a vote to deprive the school child en of Indianapolis of the school facilities that are willingly offered them in other cities, and are essential to the making of *he citizens of tomorrow. Every ballot cast for them will he an admission of the indifference of Indianapolis citizens to the future of Indianapolis, of the willingness to tolerate insanitary and dangerous portable buildings and half-day sessions of schools. These candidates for the school board are pledged to a course that means no more good school buildings for Indianapolis. And this community must have sanitary, fireproof school houses for its children. Which? Quite regardless of all the attempts to inject extraneous matter into the campaign, the real issue is which type of man the people of Indianapolis wish for mayor. Mr. Shank is the experienced politician with a broad knowledge of hew to make his appeal to the p iblic, how to arouse enthusiasm in his behalf and what to promise that will attract the greatest attention. Mr. Ralston is a novice in polities, unwilling to be a demogogue and tco sincere to promise anything that he is not sure of delivering. Arrayed with Mr. Shank are hundreds of politicians who have been successful, year after year, in influencing the community in/their favor. Lined up with Mr. Ralston aro politicians who ha*e not been so successful and a host of others who are not. politicians but earnest advocates of better government. The voters of Indianapolis must determine which of these men they will select to fill a four year job. Recommendations in plenty have been offered by both applicants and ample time has been allowed for consideration of their qualifications. The final vote will disclose whether the people' of this community prefer a politician or a business man for their mayor.' It has been argued that the business of being mayor of Indianapolis is essentially political, hut not partisan. It has also been declared that only a thorough business man can be expected to give the city a business-like administration. Whether the public wishes a clean-cut business administration or desires its administration politically tempered is a question. It Is certain that Mr. Ralston would have far less reason to consider politics from the mayor’s office than Mr. Shank. It is also certain that if politics is to play the same part in the administration of Indianapolis In the future that it has In the last four years, then Mr. Shank is better qualified to deal with the business than his opponent Literally, Indianapolis Is today standing at the crossroads; If the community desires an entirely different type of executive than it has ever tried before, it will elect Mr. Ralston. If it is content with the methods of government that it has had for many years, it will find Mr. Shank more proficient In this particular line than several of the majors we have had.

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 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 conditions of the high cost of living with them.] THURSDAY. As the Bride had promised to come into tea Mrs. Hooper went in town to do her shopping Immediately after luncheon. Her market was a simple matter, as she had found by going over the vegetable garden with Huger that there were some late things that needed cleaning up —such as pumpkins and cabbage amd beets and yellow turnips. By using all that it was possible to consume this week and storing the remainder in the basement, it would enable Henry and Itoger to put the garden in shape for the winter when they were both at leisure on Saturday afternoon. The last of the grapes, which seemed to be a small second crop, would also be finished up and heip to cut down the fruit bill, and she found a real bargain in some apples that would make sauce and a pie and baked apples for three or four meals. She was still keeping ner meat allowance low with the idea that if Henry should return to his o'.d demands for more than she had been giving him lately she would gradually return to her former supply as the weather began to be colder. Betty was beginning to need delicacies that were a bit expensive to prepare, as well as an extra amount of milk and eggs, and so much was necessary for dairy supplies that she could keep within her fond allowance now only by planning very carefully about her other expenditures. She ordered some fish for Friday, a roast for Sunday, and having no shopping that she intended to do until after Helen's coot was finished she readlMfd home early and had tea ready to serve when the bride came in. “Now, my dear," she began as she gave the bride her tea, “I want you to go on from where you left off the other day about tl is decision of yours to leave your husband and go South because he haid deceived jou as to w here he had spent the two weeks that you thought he was West on a husines strip." “You see l haven't been hasty," observed the bride.

Now I’m all packed up and I’m ready to go.” "Why, are you going—really?” Inquired Mis. Hooper quietly. "Don’t you love him any more?" "Oh, yes, I love him quite as well as I ever did,’’ replied the bride, feeling about for her handkerchief. “That’s the reason It Is so hard to leave Mm; Dut you must see. and I think he ought to understand, that I coul/dn’t go on living with a man who had deceived me like that." "Who told you that lie had been in ttye city all the time?” Inquired Mrs. Hooper as she refilled her teacup. “How did you find it out?" "He told me himself," replied the bride, beginning to weep. "Told you himseHK" exclaimed Mrs. Hooper. "How very curious. If he were trying to deceive you I should think he would hnve kept it from you as long

I)ailij Fashion Hints i Jj|vf By AGNES AYRES. Star In Paramount Pictures. There Is In spite of the old adage really something new, brand new, under the sun. I have watched with the greatest of interest the class divergence in shoo styles, given It exaggerated importance perhaps because of the short skirt vogue, until now It is disappearing utterly, merging in a wild enthusiasm for the Spanish toe. For the divergence was exclusively built on toes. Milady who rides In her carriage and could afford custom made slippers and boots, going in niost exclusively for the round toed Oinrerella's of tlie French, while my other lady who takes a taxi or bus turned up her scornful little nose at anything that was not toothpick pointed and aristocratically long and slim. “Un-American” she dubbed anything else, nnd always added "wo mako the best looking shoes In the world." Maybe we do, maybe we do, but there is much to lie said for the French last, not the least of which is the present beautifully modified toe. Perhaps, who knows, it is the beginning of the rainbow of arbitration the world over. Anyway, the new toe, than which you will find no other, is neither stubby like the French nor sharp as a serpent's tooth like the American, but gracefully rounded and soft, enough point for beauty and enough width for sanity. It is, I regret, to say, combined with a very high, slim heel in most instances, either Spanish or true French in origin —I do not know which. Spanish and Colonial pumps are all the rage,’too, and the thing for street wear. Strap pumps are waning in favor, three straps being the best model, and regulation pumps with neither strap nor tongue being much worn for evening.

as possible—at least until you found it out from someone else.” "But he Insists that he had no intention of deceiving ine," whimpered the bride. “He sayg he Just supposed I'd understand and that I wouldn't mind at all. You see when he found out that I was here and that I had closed the house and was going to stay In quarantine here for a couple of weeks he Just decided to go and stay in the city and that it wouldn’t make any difference to me whether he was there or in the West, as 1 supposed he was, as long as I was absorbed in nursing Betty." "Which I suppose was in a sense true." observed Mrs. Hooper. "Y-ou didn't worry about not hearing from him bei cause you supposed h - was taken up with his business and you didn't write to him Cither. 1 don’t approve of what he did, i but I really think you are very foolish to take it seriously enough to l*-ace him." "But he should have let me know,” insisted the bride "But you .didn't ask him or let him know that you were coming here to nurse Betty," Mrs. Hooper reminded or. "No, but that was vastly different," was the bride's rejoinder. "Not so very mm h different when you cotne to think of It," smiled Mrs. Hooper, “and 1 think you are really doing u very wrong thing to oven think of leaving your husband because of the first thing he has done that you disapprove." "Well. I don’t really want to leave him," sobbed the bride, “In spite of all I’ve said." "And you are not going to," whispered Mrs. Hooper, ns she patted her on the shoulder and started her tOjWard home. The menu for the three meals on Friday is: BREAKFAST.

Arrange a fine head of lettuce in saladbowl in the shape it was before washing, and sprinkle thickly with Edam or pineapple. cheese and some chopped nuts, j Pour over all a Freuch dressing, with I plenty of oil and lemon Juice. Helpful Household Hints Vinegar nnd lemon Juice are invaluable ; aids in the business of "tendering” tough j meats. Beefsteak covered for some hours j with vinegar or lemon Juice and olive i oil. is made eatable by the action of the acid upon the fibres of the meat which are further "suppled” by the oil.

Soda should be measured as accurately as If it were a potent drug, and never used except in combination with sin acid. One even teaspoonful of soda to two rounded teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, one even teaspoonful of soda to two cupfuls of buttermilk, or clabber, one even teaspoonful of soda to one cupful (onehalf pint) of molasses, cause what may be considered an equitable effervescent", liberating gases that lighten dough and better without making them unwholesome. The "greeny-yellowy" streaks in farmhouse quick biscuits are poisonous, but the alkali is not at fault. Soda should never be driven in single harness. Vinegar put into the water in which a fowl or mutton is boiled will serve to make tho meat tender, and a dash of vinegar in boiling fish removes the strong " :iv fast - that would otherwise cling to it. i PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Corx ———————— ?ou remember In the last story that Puss and nis good gray horse had camped In a grove of trees for the night. Well, Just as I’nss was about to curl up nnd take a little trip to dreamland he heard a voice singing; Little Boy Blue, Come leave your toys It's time to wash hands For little bo) s. Supper is ready, You must not wait: Tuck In your napkin And don't tip your plate Oh, where is Boy Blue? Let's all take a peep—lie's there on the sofa Fast asleep. Fuss looked around and saw a little light twinkling through the trees. So he got up and went toward it to find that it shone from a window In a small cottage. And then he knocked on the door, fur. ho thought, 1 may he asked to spend the night and that will he much comfortable than sleeping beneath the trees. And the pretty woman who opened tlie door asked him in. saying softly. "Tiptoe, my dear l’uss Junior, for -Boy Flue has just gone to sleep." And you know how softly a cat can tiptoe. But. of course, he slipped off his red-topped boots with their clanking spurs. Then Boy Blue's mother gave Puss Junior some milk and cake, and after lie had put. his good gray horse In tho stable be came back and sat down by the fire. Over the mantelpiece hung a silver horn, and ns Puss looked up at it he remembered long ago In Oid Mother Goose Land a little Boy Blue who blew his horn to Tall the cows from the fields of corn, so lie turned to the pretty woman and said: ‘‘Does your little Boy Bluo f,o to sleep In a haystack?" “No, uiy dear," laughingly replied his mother. "But his father did. And that's the horn he used to blow in the early morn to call the cows ami the woolly sheep when under the haycock he'd fallen asleep.” “I met. him once, a long time ngo,” said little Puss Junior. "I remember tho place quite well, lie carried me on his shoulder, to sec little Miss Muffet who sat on a tuffet, and she gave us sonic curds oi whey till n horrid spider came and sat down beside her and frightened her so that she jumped* up and ran far away." “And so you were the little cat who was with him, were you?” said little Boy Blue's mother, but Puss didn't answer, for he had fallen fast asleep, and was dreaming that he was once more with his father, l tiq famous Puss In Boots. —Copyright, 1921. g> (To Be Continued.) $12.50 PER KISS ON TRAIN.

Washington Briefs Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.- President Harding has signed the commissions of Charles Evans Hughes, Elihu Root, Henry Cabot Lodge and Oscar W. Underwood as the American delegates at the conference on limitation of armament. They are clothed, as usual, with plenipotentiary powers, and. In accordance with International custom and tradition, are assigned the rank of “Ambassadors Extraordinary.” Our delegates in Washington will have precisely the status of delegates sent by other governments. One of the earliest formalities of the conference will be the presentation of credentials—a transaction which will reveal that equals face equals at the historic rffund table. Just as onr delegates at the two Hague peace conferences received their instructions from the President of the United States, so on the forthcoming occasion will America's representatives obtain their directions. At Paris, the President being present, orders were forthcoming on the spot. Occasion was taken today at the State Department to reaffirm that "agreements, treaties or conventions entered Into by the United States at the conference will require ratification by the Senate." ’That, of course, would apply to any covenant for limitation of armament. / • • One of the brainiest young women in Great Britain is coming to the conference —Miss Frances Stevenson, private secretary to David Lloyd George. She has been at his elbow in Downing Street incessantly since “the little Welshman” achieved the premiership five years ago, and everywhere throughout the Britannic realm is recognized as one of the powers-that-be. Miss Stevenson, a beauty just approaehing so, was a member of the Prime Minister’s staff throughout the Paris peace conference, so the schemes and strategems that await her in Washington will conjure up no terror for her. She is partly French by ancestry, a great grandfather having fought with the first Napoleon more than a century ago. • * The vanguard of the French press which will he notably represented at the armament conference has arrived in the person of Capt. Philippe Millet, foreign editor of the Petit Parisien. A typical man of the world, fluent speaker of English and famous international authority, Captain Millet adorns the staff of a newspaper which claims the largest circulation on earth—an edition of 1.750,0i)0. The captain's traveling kit supplies evidence that all conquering golf has gripped the Gallic imagination, too. for his bag of clubs accompanied him to America. Captain Millet's visiting card suggests an American environment in Paris he lives at “li3 Kite Colo mb " M. Stephane Lousanne, editor of I.e Matin and comrade of Rene Vivian!, is also here. On Tuesday another brilliant French Journalist is due—“Pertinax" (M. Coraud) of Echo de Paris.

A tribute to the “unknown dead," as the unidentified soldier to be laid to rest at the National cemetery n ,w is called, is sure to be paid by Mr. Wilson.

F„ newspaper, which still enjoys a flourishing existence. • • Majpor General Tanaka, the chief Japanese military representative at the conference. paid his reprects to General Pershing. Their acquaintance dates from the summer of 1912. when General Tanaka was speelal aide de camp to General Pershing in Tokio. The American generullibsimo, then conducting military operations in the Philippines, had been assigned as military aide to Philander C. Knox, Secretary of State, who represented the United States at the funeral of tlio late Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan. Samuel M. Vauelaln, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, appeared before a subcommittee of the Senate Manufacturers ComuiUttee In support of the Britten-Ladd bill to tlx the tactile system as tho single standard of weights and measures in this country. The contention that to change from the English system to the metric system would be very costly, Mr. Vauelaln characterized as a "bugaboo." The people of the country, he added, probably would never fully appreciate the advantages of the metric system until It had been put into vogue. While supporting the metric system, Air. Vauelln urged that the initiative in making this the basis for weights and measurements in this country should be taken by the Government.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

JOBS INCREASE IN INDIANAPOLIS Free Employment Bureau Shows Gratifying Improvement in Situation. The employment situation in Indianapolis continues to improve, according to R. C. Jenkins, manager of the Indiana Free Employment Service Bureau, 33 South Capitol avenue. Sir. Jenkins made the folloing report to the industrial board today: "That business and employment conditions are gradually improving, is indicated by the fact that there is an increasing demand for labor of all classes. At the present time construction workers are receiving the greater number of opportunities. "During the past two weeks the Indiana free employment service has registered 419 men and found positions for 642. or 55 per cent more men received employment than registered. Statistics covering a similar period of time previous to the above mentioned, show that 451 men were registered and that 440 were placed,„or 97 per cent of the applicants registered were placed. This above comparison shows a net increase of 58 per cent. "It is also interesting to notice the fact that practically all of the positions being given out at the present time are permanent ones and that there has been comparatively few temporary positions open. “A monthly study of employment conditions shows that during the month of October 4,107 men applied to the service for positions, 870 were registered, 1,422 calls were received for help, 1,239 referred to positions, and 1.052 were placed. This record shows that 24 per cent Aore men received employment in the month of October than were registered. Another interesting fact is that there is a 70 per I cent increase in placements over the previous month of September. "Since the opening of the office on Aug. 11 of this year, the members of the service interviewed 12,000 men relative to positions and 5,318 women applicants.” AMISH MUST BEND TO LAW

Children Must Attend School, Burris Declares. A statement repeating his frequent assertions that the attendance laws of Indiana must be enforced was made today by Benjamin .T. Burris, State superintendent of public instruction. Mr. Burris had returned from Lagrange County where cases against nine persons of the Amish faith who have failed to send their children to school were before the juvenile court. The hearing was postponed until next Wednesday. In this connection Mr. Burris said: "The compulsory school attendance law of 1921 was intended to keep children in school long enough to acquire that training which will eanble them to become efficient participants in all the activities that reasonably can be required of all good citizens. Indiana cannot afford to set a standard lower than this. The Legislature is to be commended for this splendid piece of legislation. The law should be enforced promptly. As president of the State compulsory school attendance board 1 intend to leave nothing undone to this end. "Everyone claiming protection under ♦he laws of Indiana ought to be willing, indeed eager, to do all he can to qualify him-elf and his children for active and efficient participation in the life of the State. If one's conscience is against this, it is based upon false premise. If any of Indiana's citizens may act upon the theory that adequate training in the schools is not essential to efficient citizenship, may not all claim the same privilege? in this event what could we next expect? It is to be hoped that every person, clothed with the responsibility of enforcing the compulsory school attendance law., will exercise his duty promptly and fearlessly.” The State department of public instruction lias for a long time had difficulty in forcing the Amish people in Indiana to send their children to school.
