IRISH question postponed a day—what is a day, more or less, in connection with a question that has been in existance a century, more or less? IT IS FEARED that the German treaty has been lost in the mails between the United States and Germany. Bill Hays should also mobilize the NT avy. AMONG the horrors of war which should be used in those disarmament arguments are the thousands of books wrtten by the armies of Washington and London. A MEMBER of the British Parliament says that the Kaiser should not have been dethroned because “with a chastened emperor we would hare a steadier Germany.” Yes, but how long would he have stayed "chastened ?’* H. G. WELLS in attempting to write a newspaper discussion of the questions before the disarmament conference writes an Introduction of Kftif a column telling of the dissimilarity between Washington and Versailles. This is one answer to Juliet’s question, "What's in a name?” The Value of Banks As new bank building nears completion in Indianapolis, adding another to the many which are already located here, we are brought involuntarily to think of the great help which the world derives from the banks. What a convenience the check account system is to Big Business! Just stop to think what it would tfiean if every out-of-town firm had to be paid in cash. Assuming that drafts, money orders, checks and express orders were dispensed with, the cash would have to be boxed up and sent registered or insured, to creditors in far away cities. Consequently, manufacturers using materials from different parts of the world, and merchants buying waxes from various places, who send out hundreds of checks each month in payment would need many more clerks to count and pack all of thebe cash remittances than is now required. It would also ccst more to send a package of this kind than a check. While nearly every business house now uses a small Base, it is plainly evident that if there were no large banks, every firm of any importance would have to invest in large facilities to keep the thousands of dollars necessary to carry on its businesi. What a wide field there would be for the safe crackers! The reputation for credit which a bank account establishes is of Inestimable value to business men. Many concerns increase their output considerably because they can buy more material on thirty days’ credit, by virtue of their bank account Consider the advantage of being able to borrow money from the bank when necessary. Many concerns have been tided over a rough place by this privilege. If there were no banks, it would iJe almost impossible to make a loan. We cannot overlook the value of the bank as a savings Institution. Many would never save anything were it not for a systematic plan of depositing small amounts in the bank, and who can deny that the savings account has been a "life saver" for many.

We Must Have Schools In the municipal campaign which has Just ended, the Times advocated the re-election of the majority faction of the Indianapolis school board, along with the members of the “Better School League.’’ The slate was defeated Tuesday and the Times has no necessity of apologizing to the members of the citizens’ slate who were elected. They were neither slandered nor misrepresented in these columns and they •will enter office with no prejudice from this source. The outstanding feature of the school situation in Indianapolis is the deplorable lack of physical facilities for housing the enormously increased number of pupils. How to provide the facilities in the shortest possible time Is the big problem that confronts the new school board. It matters not who directs school affairs as long as the directors insist on employing to the limit all of the resources of the community to the end that little children will not continue to be deprived of comfortable surroundings and full-time schooling. Much was said during the campaign about tremendous expenditures and the reduction of taxes. Tremendous expenditures for school purposes are now a necessity. Taxes for that purpose cannot be reduced. The task of the new members of the school board is to provide schools for their children and they must not be timid in demanding the money necessary to the performance of that task. We do not desire to believe that the newly elected school commissioners have any other purpose In mind than Improvement of our school system. We know they cannot afford to give heed to the petty malice that actuates some of their supporters in regard to the personnel of the school administration. Now, as before the election, we wish to repeat, that Indianapolis must have more modern school buildings for its children. Her Boy . It is most fitting and proper that the world should pause today to pay , its respects to the unknown soldier. To him and to his parents and loved ones the world owes its most gratitude. The fate of the unknown soldier was the grimest tragedy of a tragic war. He not only made the supreme sacrifice, but his loved ones suffered manyfold the suffering of those who knew the fate of their boys who gave their lives for their country. Nothing could have been more terrifying than to have found the name of s loved one on a casualty list merely as missing. How long must have been the days ahd what doubts must have tormented those who waited to hear whether he whose name appeared on the list was still alive, possibly in a prison camp, or whether he had met some horrible death. And how terrible must have been the realization that it would be futile even longer to hope. The boy whose body was interred in Arlington Cemetery with the supreme honors of the Nation he died to serve may be the son of the humblest mother in the land or of the highest in wordly affairs. His is the true democracy of death and of service. He may be the son of any one of thousands of mothers, and what little consolation the mother can have is be found in the thought that possible the boy in Arlington is her boy.

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 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 leern to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] FRIDAY. "I hope you have all been able to work out your provisional apportionments for operating expenses in your budgets," said Mrs. Chapin as she called the meeting of the home economic section of the Woman's Club to order, “so that we can go on with the division for advancement today." "Will Mrs. Hooper be at the next meeting?" Inquired one of the members. ‘ “Yes,” replied Mrs. Chapin, “she telephoned that unless something very unforeseen occurred she would certainly be with us next Friday. That Is why I am so anxious to have our budgets all c mpleted ready for discussion. I'd like to say a good deal about this operating expanse apportionment of 10 per cent of the yearly Income to be devoted to it, and whether the expenditure Is managed best on a yearly basis like the clothing or wbethar It should be managed the same as the food." “That is something that Mrs. Hooper could advise you much better about than I," said Mrs. Chapin evasively, “so we won't discuss It now.” "I should like to say before leaving the subject for the time being," said a third member, ignoring Mrs, Chapin’s efforts to get on to the new topic, “that I believe 18 per cent, of your yearly income is quite sufficient to run a house well If‘there are no servants to be provided for.”

“I qnite agree with you," went on the j richest woman in the club quickly, “and , the reason that one can live within that | income under these conditions, is that' the person who Is doing her own house- I work Is able to practice all the new ideas ' of economy and efficient management and to use Improved equipment which j she can't do if servants are doing the | work." ‘‘Besides, you can practice thrift and economy and know that all money spent goes for something and Is not wasted In overhead expense,” added another woman who had evidently suffered from the servant problem. “The reason I left the city and came to live In Mayfield,” volunteered a third woman, "was in order to be able to run my household without any servant, and I find that added to the saving in the expense of actual living that family cooperation and the training ;of children to a sense of their responsibility in matters pertaining to home life la only possible where there Is no real hired help." ‘‘Ladles, as Interesting as this discussion Is,” urged Mrs. Chapin, “we must leave It to consider the subject of ‘advancement’ In the budget." ‘‘As I understand it." said the Bride, cornlna to the rescue of the chairman by taking up the new topic, “advancement includes all money to be spent for education, newspapers and magazines, church, concerts and the theater, and for doctors and dentist bills and medicines." “That Is what Is usually classed under the head of advancement,” said Mrs. Chapin. “And what per cent of our yearly Income do we allow for that?” Inquired a woman In one of the back seats who had not' been beard from before. “Six per cent of the yearly income Is permitted." replied the chairmen consulting the notes which had been furnished her by Mrs Hooper, “and on the SSO a week Income basis that allows $3 a week or $156 a year.” “For mercy sakes,” exclaimed the short blonde lady who began always by registering protests. “How any one can do all that on $3 a week Is more than I can seo. Why, that would mean never going anywhere. My family spends nearly that much Just on the movies.” “Well If you do, the excess must be coming out of what should be used for food or clothing," remarked Mrs, Chapin severely and the protesting lady subsided. “I think the amusement might he regulated easily enough.” said a second woman, “because we have much that is entertaining and educational In Mayfield quite free of cost, but what I cun't figure out Is how you could possibly pay doctors or dentist's bills out of such a meager allowance.” “Os course you couldn’t if you had a great many of them,” spoke up the Bride, “but the idea is that with sane regular living that follows a systematized plan of oaring for n family that the need of doctors and dentists and medicines are greatly diminished." “That may be true,” assented a third woman, “but why should those Items be Included In advancement —that’s what 1 can’t see.” “It has been explained to me,” replied the Bride, “that the care given to the family's teeth and eyes and health and to all matters pertaining to the sanitary condition In which they live is what raises the standard of the Individual as a citizen and makes him more efficient Just ns education and the moral training oR the church does, so that these Items ari* all classed together on that account.” “Well we will adjourn till next Friday,” announced the chairman, “find In the meantime please work out your ‘Advancement’ per cent on your Incomes. This will bring us to the last Item to\be considered which is ‘Savings.’ " The menu for the three meals on Saturday Is; BREAKFAST. Orange Juice Cereal Fish Hash Custard Corn Cake Coffee Luncheon. Baked Beans Bread and Butter Preserved Fruit Cake Grane Juice DINNER. Vegetable Soup Ragout of Kidney with Brown Sauce Mashed Potatoes Creamed Carrots Romalne Salad Tapioca Pudding CUSTARD CORN CAKE. Two eggs, one-fourth cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful

Beat the eggs and sugar together thoroughly. Sift the flour, soda and salt together and mix with the meal. Then mix all the ingredients together except the butter. Melt the butter in a deep pan, using plenty on the sides, and then pour In the batter and bake half an hour. —Copyright, 1921.) A BROWN FOWL SOUP. Cut an elderly chicken up as for fricasee, severing every Joint. Put into the soup kettle, allowing a quart of water for every pound. ,Add a sliced onion and three celery stalks. Bring slowly to a boll over a low fire, cook until the meat slips from the bones. Set away with the meat in it until cold. Take off the fat, strain the liquid and cut the meat into neat cubes; dry It between two cloths; pepper and salt and dredge well with flour. Put Into a frying pan four tablespoonfuls of the fat you have taken from the soup and when It bubbles add the pieces of chicken and toss them about until well browned. Remove the chicken and keep It hot. Into the fat left in the pan put one tablespoonful of flour and stir until well mixed and slightly browned. Add by degrees sufficient soup to moisten to a smooth gravy, then strain It into the soup.

Soak a pint of fine dry bread-crumbs for two hours In a quart of milk, then beat in two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a half teaspoonful of powdered I nutmeg, the whipped yolks and the 1 stiffened white of four eggs. Bake in a buttered pudding dish and eat hot I with hard sauce. Helpful Household Hints | Beef ranks first in meats, and is con- | sidered the most nutritions, and Is the ; most largely consumed of the different | meats. In meat we find chiefly: Fibrin, albumen, fat, gelatine, mineral matter and water. Albumen is found in the blood and muscle. It Is soluble In cold water, and coagulates In hot water or by heat. ’Coagulation begins at 134 degrees Fahrenheat, and becomes a sold at 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This shows we should cook {o get the juices out at a low degree of heat, and that when we broil our steak, to have a high temperature, to sear the surface quickly. Gelatine is a tasteless, transparent substance obtained by boiling, in water, the muscles, skin, bone, tendon, cartilege, ligament or membrane of animals. By the boiling we dissolve the tissue and convert it into gelatine. Gelatine Is a nitrogenous substance, but a large quan tlty passes out of the system unchanged. Fat Is found distributed In layers directly under the skin, in the bone and

intermingled throughout the nesb. Fat as a food is a great heat-giver and forceproducer The human body Is compared to a lamp, and the fat is what supplies the lamp in a great measure and keeps it burning. Mineral matter Is found in the bone, and it consists of calcium phosphate and sodium chloride (the latter being common salt), and is found In the blood and throughout the tissues. Water makes up a large per cent of the weight of the animal. The beef is divided by splitting the animal through the center of the backbone and each part is called a side of beef. Four hundred pounds is a good weight for a side of beef. The tenderest and most expensive cuts come from the part of the animal where the muscles are but little used. There you will find the meat much finer grained but th<j tougher pieces will have more Juice and much higher flavor In most Instances. The expensive tender cuts of the meat can be broiled and roasted, while the tougher cuts must be cooked very slowly, by boiling or In casserole. Cover closely and cook slowly at a low degree of heat. Meat is divided in fore and hind quarters. In the hind-quarters you find the flank, round, rump and loin. In the fore-quarters are five prime ribs, five chuck ribs, neck, stleklng-plece, rattle rand, brisket and fore-shin. Other parts of the creature used for food are the brains, tongue, heart, liver, kidneys, tall, suet and tripe. The porterhouse, sirloin, cross-cut ol the rump and second and third cuts from the top of the round, steaks must be cut thick if you want them to be tender—from one Inch to two and a half inches.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. ( By David Cory —— Brian O'Lin had no trousers to wear. So he bought him a sheepskin and made him a pair. With the skinny side out and the woolley side in. “Mv goodness, it tickles!" cried Brtand " O'Lin. And then all the sheep began laugning, and so did Puss Junior* who had reined in his good gray horse and stood looking at Brian O'Lin as he sat on a rock in the sheep pasture. “He wears them wrong side out,” said an old ram. “Our clothes have the wool on the outside.” “Do yod hear that, Mr. Brian O’Lin?" cried Puss. “Do you hear what your learned ram says, sir?” “I do,” replied Mr. O’Lin, “but lt'a too late now. I can’t turn my trousers Inside out, can IV” "I don’t know," said Puss with a grin. “Y'ou'll have to ask your tailor. He ougnt to know.” Then all the sheep began laughing. “He has no tailor,” said the ram. "His old woman made the trousers. He’d better ask her.” But Brian O’Lin said nothing. You see, his wife ruled him, as some wives do, with a rod of iron, and I don’t believe she would make over those trousers even if they tickled Brian to death. And I guess he knew this, for he didn’t say another word, but flicked off the top of a dandelion with his stick and then looked across the field and sighed. And as he didn’t seem anxious to talk any more, Puss said gid-ap to his steed and went upon his way, and by and ly he came in sight of a windmill, whose sails spun merrily around In the morn-| ing breeze. The old mill creaked and’ groaned and the miller came to the doorway and looked out. And when he saw Puss Junior astride of his good gray horse he lifted his dusty cap and said good-day. “The top o’ the morning to you,” cried Puss Junior, who felt very happy. He had a cheerful disposition, which Is a wonderful gift. You know the fairies always give us something when we are born, and the fairy who gave little Puss Junior a happy disposition is the fairy I like the best, and if ever I have a little grandchild I hope this fairy will come In through the window and give him a cheerful disposition. “Whither are you bound. Sir Cat" asked the miller, lighting his corncob pipe and blowing the smoke into the clear morning air. “I'm on my way to the castle of my Lord of Carabas,” replied our little traveler. “My father, the famous Puss in Boots, Is seneschal to Lord Carabas." “Indeed!” exclaimed the miller, "I have often heard of your illustrious father. In fact, I have read a book about him.” “So have I," grinned Puss Junior. “And now I hear they are writing a book about me. I only heard this In Alphabet Town a day or so ago. But as soon as I reach a city I shall try to buy a copy, as it would please me to take one to my father. He is very fond of reading." And In the next story you shall hear of an adventure which Puss has on his way to the castle.—Copyright, 192 L (To Be Continued.) Prison May Prove Even Less Exciting ST.
