They must not be as hard up as they try to appear. , * WILL the disarmament conference take up the problem of stopping the manufacture of bricks in Ireland? ANOTHER FOOL looked in his gas tank by the light of a match. The saddest part of the -whole affair is that only th® flivver was damaged. * : INDIANAPOLIS fishermen may not catch anything, as Mr. Spillane says, but he must give them credit for being on the job should any fish appear. IT IS NOT a crime for a w ife to take money from her husband s pockets, a court has ruled. The difficulty nowadays is to find anything in hubby’s pockets. * THE GOVERNMENT reports the Indiana corn crop the poorest in years and the price the lowest. What has become of the law of supply and demand? THOSE WHO WATCHED the funeral procession of the Unknown Soldier demonstrated that Woodrow Wilson Is not last In their admiration, if he -was last in the procession. And Still They Knock! The outstanding feature of the appointments to city jobs which Mayorelect Shank Is making is the completeness with which he is ousting the adherents of the Charles W. Jewett administration. It appears that when Mr. Je wett leaves the mayor’s office a whole lot of his associates will be in a position to give their undivided assistance to him in organizing some of the boycotts and alliances that he fondly believes he can formulate for the purpose of aiding him in staging a political “come-back.” The people of Indianapolis will take some pride in the fact that Mr. Shank is ruthlessly cutting into the army of officeholders who originated the idea that whatever they did was above criticism and whatever criticism was voiced of them was traitorous to Indianapolis. For many months, Mr. Jewett and his publicity organ have imagined that they constituted the only element in Indianapolis that was entitled to any consideration whatever. Having full possession of the municipal affairs and a close working alliance with a great deal of the county government, they imagined themselves beyond the reach of public opinion. /The manner ; in which they tried to cram Mr. Thomas C. Howe’s candidacy down the throats of the Republicans was illustrative of their egotism and determination to rule or ruin. Even the lesson they got in the primaries failed to give them an adequate idea of their polltffcal disrepute and there is now some question as to whether or not the mayor has learned that he is everlastingly dead in local politics. When an arrogant political machine is smashed as was the Jewett machine, both in the primaries and at the election, the various cogs therein lose their ability to function. Sometimes the parts of the machine can be incorporated in another, and not infrequently the machine as a whole is returned to operation after a few replacements. But in the present situation, Mayor-elect Shank learned early in the campaign that the Jewett machine parts could not be depended upon to function again in any' capacity except to his detriment. He formulated a new organization of his own and he has made it apparent in the last few days that he proposes to run city affairs without the assistance ,of those Jewett adherents who took advantage of their official positions to aid in a political effort to throttle him. Mayor-elect Shank will receive the congratulations of a great part of Indianapolis for his insistence on clearing away the obstructionists to his success. Impossible as it may appear to Mayor Jewett and his associates, Indianapolis can have a successful administration not only without them, . but in spite of them. Efforts that are now being made by the remnants of this old political oligarchy to prejudice the community against the Shank administration before it is begun will prove as futile in the long run as the efforts previouslymade by the same persons to make the community feel that it had to be ‘‘saved” by the election of one of the “saviors’ ” choice. This is a very poor time for any one. especially a disgruntled and repudiated office holder, to boast of how he expects to be revenged for the defeat he has suffered at the hands of an enlightened public. The People Should Know William Jennings Bryan has just added his demand to that of numerous other Americans for publicity for the deliberations of the conference on the limitation of armaments opening in Washington today-. Mr. Bryan holds that secret diplomacy will be the greatest obstacle in the pathway of success of the conference, and he is absolutely right. If the delegates to the conference are true representatives of the people who named them they will not object to publicity. If they are not, they should be removed and persons who will consent to publicity should replace them. There is only one way to feel the pulse of a people and that is through publicity, if no publicity is given proposals before the conference there will be no way of telling how the people of a country affected react to that proposal and the delegates will be working in the dark. The conference should reflect the wills of the many people represented and if it does not it be futile. Many times in the past when great wars have overwhelmed a nation the people of that nation have suddenly learned that they have been bound by agreements, the existence of which they- had no knowledge. This fact has been responsible for more international difficulties than any one thing. After all, it is the people who are affected by whatever the conference does and the people should dictate its action. N The people have a right to know! Values Are Only Relative The State employment bureau complains that working people are still demanding wartime wages and w-ith them are expecting to do as little work as possible. It registers a kick, possibly justified, that the people with whom It deals do not wish to get back to “normalcy.” Perhaps this is the trouble with a great many things. Perhaps the reason that so many people believe times are hard, and perhaps the reason that times are hard, is that we are still thinking silk shirts while living in a cotton period of business and wages. , The most difficult condition to readjust has been the manner of living of those who raised their standards above their ordinary 1 means during the period of- the war and fiat just succeeding the war and are loath to change them. . Perhaps a little lower profits, a little lower wages and a little less discontent would be the quickest way to prosperity. Values are only relative. When we reach a state of mind in which we can forget the inflated values of the war and ffccept the deflated values of peace we can progress again. As Tom. Marshall put it, let’s get back to the 5-cent cigar manner of living. S

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 thetu dally in an Interesting review of their home life and.learn to meet V the conditions of the high coat of living with them.] SATURDAY. Mrs. Chapin had telephoned before luncheon to ask if she might come over and make a little call on Mrs. Hooper, even If it were Saturday afternoon, as there was a little matter which she wnnted to discuss with her. Mrs. Hooper hud asked her to run in at the tea hour and bring her sewing if she liked, so that the two women now sat cosily beside the tea table. - both occupied with the contents of their work baskets. “I hated to take you away from your husbunj. whom I know is home Saturday afternoon, or possibly from your baking that you might be doing for Sunday," began Mrs. f’hapin, “but 1 was very anxious, indeed, to see you.” “Mr. Hooper and Roger are busy in the vegetable garden, giving It its last clearing up before winter really sets in, and I am always free from the kitchen nt this hour, no matter what extra cooking, I may have planned.” “I forgot for the moment that you run your house on a time schedule that really works.” laughed Mrs. Chapin, "and that if you have an hour in the afternoon for relaxation and to meet your friends that nothing Intrudes on it.” “Nothing unless it be some unforeseen calamity ’ like Betty's long and serious illness.” said Mrs. Hooper, speaking soberly as she always did when she recalled the danger that had so nearly bereft them of their baby. After a moment's silence, which was more expressive of Mrs. Chapin's sym patliy than if she had spoken it, she went on to the subject of the reason for her call. “You will remember, Mrs. Hooper, that Just before the summer vacation began, a number of us talked over the condition of affairs existing in the children’s danc ing class and decided that something ought to lie done to correct the methods of which we didn't approve.” “Yes, of course, I remember our talk.” said Mrs. Ifovper, “but it seemed to me that the problem was solved when the darning teacher decided to give up the class entirely and not come to Mayfield at all this winter. I think she resented my raking Helen out of the class after I liaii visited it once, but my cutting off Helen's dancing lessons whn really a punishment that I was meting out to the child for discipline and had really not very much to do with my disapproval of the way the dancing class was conducted." , “But you were the first one to call our attention fb the fact that while our children were being taught to dance verywell indeed, that they were also being permitted to fall in to all sorts of care less habits of deportment, and to gossip and quarrel while they were together at their dancing lessons.” "Yes that was certainly my complaint," agreed Mrs. Hooper, “and you will also recall that I Fuggestod that it was prob ably largely our own fault and that at every meeting of the dancing class It was tlu? duty of two or throe of us to * |*reH ent and not throw all the responsibility for discipline on the teacher.” “And we all decided that you were right,” answered Mrs. Chapin, “and we planned to take the matter up with the teacher before she began another season; and then she suddenly decided not to come back.” “Which settles the question as far as I can see," answered Mrs. Hooper pouring another cup of tea for her guest. “Kxcept that the children of Mayfield ought not to be without a dancing class this winter,” Mrs. Chapin went on, “and when we have anoth-.r teacher eomo down from the city to organize one we ought to supervise the plans for it." “And were you thinking of getting up gueh a class and then having a teacher come down from the city?" asked Mrs. Hooper. “That's what I want to do,” answered Mrs. Chapin, and I came over to ask yon to be one of the subscribers so that Helen may be a member of the class." “Well.” responded Mrs. Hooper slowly, “ss It is a matter that involves some, financing I will have to ask you to let me consider it from that viewpoint and give you ray answer later.” ' "That is perfectly satisfactory,” con eluded Mrs. Chapin rising lo go. -I unite appreciate the fact that this item will have to come out of your budget for advancement, which may already tie

Just below them is another pair of light evening gloves, only half elbow length this time, it. being one of the fancies of Paris to wear short sleeves or no sleeves with short gloves. This pair fits plainly but has a pout of embroidery ending in a rose on the baek of the hand where the stitching is ordinarily placed. On some of the French street gloves an embroidered monogram or a single letter is substituted for the conventional stitching. A third pair of evening gloves is shown in the oval.

So he bade the miller good-da) Hid trotted off on his good gray horse, and ty and by he came across Peter, the Pumpkin Eater. Now, you must remember, Puss Junior was still traveling In New Mother Goose I.ayd, so that if I write you a Mother Goose Melody it will be something different, although something like the old Mother Goose Rhymes. Well, as he rode along he heard that same little bird, who had so often sung before, sing- | ing this song: ' [ Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater. Had a and "couldn’t keep her. And that's because when he was a boy He never would ills time employ. And just then l’eter came in sight. He was quite an elderly man, with gray whiskers and kind, blue eyes. But, , oh. dear me! He walked with such a lazy step, and iits hands dangled at his sides as if they couldn’t take hold of anything with a good, hard grip, all of which showed that Peter wasn't of much account, you know, and a man who can’t provide for his wife is a poor sort of a human being, for men must work, although women don't have to weep unless they want to. although the old saying is that they must. “Good morning. Peter." cried Puss Junior, kindly, for our little traveler felt sory for him. “How's everything?" Aery bad. m.v good Sir Cat." replied Peter, taking off his hat and rubbing his big hand over his hair. "My good wife is living with her mother, and. of course, she took tiie baby with tier, and I'm lone some; yes, I'm very lonesome." and Peter rubbed his nose and winked ids blue eyes. I think there was a tear in them, but he didn't want Puss Junior to see It. "Why don't you get work?" asked Pus* “The man at the Wind Mill -yonder is very busy. He might give you a Job.” Well, after a few minutes' talk Puss turned hts horse about and took Peter back to the mill. And in a short time he had persuaded the miller to hire Peter. Wasn't that kind of Puss Junirs? So all day Peter worked at the mill, grinding the corn and tilling the sacks, and that night he went to see bin wife j and bnt y. for the miller had told him if lie would work well he would let him have a little hut near the mill. And Peter's wife was so happy when she heard what Peter had done that she picked the baby up in her arms and followed Peter to the little hut. and pretty soon she had a fire going in the stove And while she was doing this, kin !. generous little Puss Junta t wint to the grocery store and bought a lot of tilings to eat and brought them to her.

Washington shopkeepers, now that the long-discussed conference is upon us, plore that it has turned out to be c<Wi siderably less of a drawing-card than they bargained for. The crowds that were to congest the Capital have not materialized and generally the spectacular side of the “show” is found disappointing. There is particular disiltusiomunnt about the size of the foreign delegations. Instead of numbering hundreds, none exeept the Japanese aggregates niore than one hundred fifty. Most ere materially fewer than one hundred. No arriving conference delegation has presented such an array of big men. physically speaking, as marched throvigh Union Station with Mr. Balfour. Secretary Hughes is a good-sized American, but he looked small alongside, the elon gated Balfour and was even more conspicuously dwarfed by Ambassador Ged des.. a giant of six feet three inches.
