MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. . . < Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, G. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising omces j New orki Boston. Pavne, Burns & Sm’th, Inc. IT IS REPORTED that Great Britain will give up Wei-hei-wei. ' Who knew they had it? GREAT BRITAIN set a good example for the United States when it stopped battle ship construction. NAVAL EXPERTS don’t enthuse over holiday—headline. No one ever expected a naval expert to be very enthusiastic over the proposition. "FATTY” ARBUCKLE is reported to be studying French. Perhaps he hopes to start “over there” when he gets out of his present ditflcu.ties. WARFARE RULES need defining by conference —headline. They probably would hold good until somebody decided they are nothing more than a scrap of paper. GOSHEN TEACHERS are protesting against the "check-off system” in paying their pension dues. To date no one has threatened to take the matter to the Federal courts. REPRESENTATIVE BLANTON now wishes to debate the remarks for which he was censured by the House. He apparently has never heard that it is usually best to let well enough alone. SOME OF THE BRITISH delegates to the conference on limitations of armaments are objecting to demonstrations from the public, saying thej are not accustomed to such things. Next thing we know they will be serving tea every afternoon. Confessed Failure To those persons who had been lulled into complaisance by the oftrepeated announcements that “all vice had been driven from the city, the assertion of Clara Burnside, captain of the women’s police department, that the scarlet woman still stalks the streets of Indianapolis, must ha\e come as a distinct shock. Miss Burnside's admission was remarkable in its frankness in view' of the fact that her branch of the security forces has persistently shunned publicity for its actions, and it was a remarkable confession from an administration that has espoused the .dies of "good government and clean politics.” Mayor-elect Shank has announced that he will abolish the woman’s police department as a separate unit and the admission that it has failed to prevent these social marauders from wandering about the streets gives added reason for his plan. Not alone have they failed to restrain these purveyors of vice from plying their nefarious trade on the downtown streets, but they have likewise failed to protect young girls from the viciousness that lurks in the uncontrolled public dance halls. These two practices, which Miss Burnside has admitted her department could not adequately control, should have been one of the essential missions of a women’s police force. There is need of some agency to halt these affairs, and whether it is done by the women members of the force or by the men, the incoming administration should not have such a signal lack of success as the dying one has confessed. Perhaps when Mr. Shank’s new “coppettes” come out attired in natty blue uniforms adorned with shiny brass buttons they will succeed where the plain clothes women have not. Anyway, there is something about a blue coat and a row of brass buttons that inspires respect in even the most hardened offenders.

Music by Wireless While the transmission of music by wireless is not particularly new, it still possesses sufficient novelty to attract considerable attention. A device for the transmission of music and other counds has been installed in Indianapolis and is proving workable. An attempt will be made to transmit to this city music produced by the Chicago Grand Opera Company a: Chicago. The transmission of music by wireless has endless possibilities. It could conceivably result in making the phonograph obsolete. Soon we may see staring at us from the pages of the newspapers advertisements demanding to know if we have a little musical wireless in our homes. It may soon be possible to sit at home and by pressing a button hear grand opera or concerts by famous musicians, or the proceedings of such events as the conference on the limitation of armaments. As we gather it. In our unscientific way, the receiver of wireless waves can be “tuned” to take in the waves of only certain sending stations. Tn this way we could have some choice in what we hear. Os course, it probably w-ould not be possible to have exactly what we wish whenever we wish it, but there would be the advantage of receiving it more or less first hand and not in the "canned” stage of preservation. Another drawback would be the fact that the voices of musicians who have passed beyond could not be heard —that is, unless Sir Oliver Lodge or some other “spookologist” perfects some system of communicating with the heavenly lyre twangers. But there would be one great advantage of wireless music over the canned variety. It would be possible to prevent the neighbors from playing at unearthly hours of the night. Congress might be persuaded to enact legislation to prevent wireless waves carrying music from being sent out after a reasonable hour. A ‘Red Letter Day* The way to disarm is to disarm. Great Britain has the honor of being first to pursue this policy. With its order stopping the construction of battle ships it has practically forced the issue in the conference on the limitation of armaments. It has shown that it means business and that it is not simply trying to trade on one proposition In order to gain its way in another. There is nothing for the other powers to do but to follow suit. One thing that is being developed in the conference in mutual confidence and trust. If one country has sufficient faith in the good intentions of another to take the lead in disarmament there is nothing under toe sun for the other country to do but to disarm. Large armies and navies are nothing more nor less than evidence of the lack of confidence among nations. When this confidence is established there will be no need for armament except for police purposes. What is more, as Admiral Sir Percy Scott phrased it, the day the construction of battle ships was stopped was a “red letter day for the taxpayer.” A red letter day for the taxpayer is a red letter day for business. It is now America’s turn to declare a red letter day. The Mexican Problem Again Again we are confronted with the problem of trying to figure out the reason for Mexico’s attitude toward the United States. Just why President Obregon refuses even to state his intention of making an effort to protect peaceable Americans in his country is a mystery. Must all Mexican Presidents be of the same caliber? Os course, we could not expect Obregon to assert that he would absolutely guarantee the safety of every American and all American property in Mexico. That would be absurd. In our own country there are some few bandits and we cannot insure the safety of every one here, but it Is our intention to give all the protection possible to law-abiding citizens and foreigners within our boundaries. If Mexicans had never been hostile toward Americans, if they had not so long been troublesome neighbors, we would have no reason to make this demand a part of the terms upon which Mexico could receive recognition from the United States, but we cannot soon forget their hostility and the ravages wrought by the Mexicans to our Southern border. W f e are not willing to believe that President Obregon is altogether a war-loving man, although we have been told that he Is teaching his sons the use of arms at an early age. Neither can we feel that he is a man strong for peace under reasonable circumstances, or he would at least Indicate that he is willing to cooperate with us in protecting Americans from Mexican outlaws. k Therefore, it is felt that Secretary ,of State Hughes is taking the right and on the subject,jand it is to be hoped that the Mexican President will oon awake to the fact that we are not making an idle demand when we insist that Mexico give our people within its borders every protection that we are giving their law-respecting subjects In our own country.

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 au interesting review of their home life and ieurn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] SATURDAY. I When Helen had finished clearing the i breakfast table her mother said to her. j "Helen you needn't come in and help me with the dusting this morning. 1 want to make another time test on work lug through the house the way I did last Saturday because I can clean everything upstairs today except Betty's room, and I'll do that when she is downstairs on Monday.” “What shall 1 do then mother?” asked Helen. "Roger is mending those broken window shades in the basement; shall 1 help him?” "No he doesn't need you,” replied Mrs. 1 Hooper, “but I want you to take down I all my recipe and file boxes from that I little corner shelf in the kitchen. They need dusting badly because they haven't been touched during all the time I was up stairs. When your father comas home this afternoon I am going to plan some kind of a real work corner there, so I won't have my account books in my desk in the living room and m.• bills in another place and my files ii the kitchen.” “That sounds like you were going to build a regular work shop right here in the kitchen,” said Helen. "That's exactly what I'm going to do,” responded her mother. “I'll have everything in one plane then and 1 have several new card files that 1 want to start, so that I will have a complete record of all the housekeeping business and not confine my files just to recipes.” ”i heard Mrs. Campbell telling the girl at the library desk tbe other day that she puts all those recipes that you write out for her every week into a card file that site has made out of cardboard boxes that she gels from the shoe store, and that she didn’t think the library files were a bit better than hers.” "I 11 have to tell Mrs. Campbell what 1 am going to do about my tiles then," Mrs. Hooper went on. “She certainly has changed her house a.*l over in the last six months." 'She s always telling me my mother is a wonder,” laughed Helen, “and that you’ve saved her life and a lot of things like that. She doesn't come over here as much as she used to, though, does she?" "No, I don’t believe she does," admitted Mrs. Hooper. “She used to come over nearly every morning I remember and Just sit around and talk," went on Helen reminiscently, as she took the dust cloth thut her mother handed her to clean the file boxes and shelves. “She used to waste a good deal of time then that she puts In now keeping house In a businesslike way," replied Mrs. Hooper, “and I think she is very much more satisfied and content because things at home run along go much more smoothly.” “That's what she’s always saying,” remarked Helen as she started for the kitchen. With the idea in mind of making a “business" corner for herself in the kitchen. Mrs. Hooper sent Roger up Into the attic to s*-ar<-h out an old wooden table that had been stored there for years. It bnd a couple of drawers and was steady and firm on Its legs so that it could bo easily fixed tip as a desk, and being small It didn't take up much room. Roger took it into the basement and brushed and cleaned it and tacked a piece of black oilcloth on the top with brass tacks. He then found several pie<es of smooth boards that would make a couple of shelves to be placed in the corner above the desk and bofore luncheon bis mother sent him down to the hardware store to buy two pairs of brackets, to be used in putting them up. He also found enough white paint left from painting the bnthroom to paint them, after they were In place. When Henry came home he and Roger went to work to carry out her plans while she went downtown to do some shopping. She had decided on a chicken dinner to celebrate Hetty's coming dowustairs on Sunday. The menu for the three meals on Sunday is: BREAKFAST. Grajiefruit. Cereal. Omelet Muffin* Coffee. DINNER.

Star In Paramount Picture*. Just wbat will be the outcome of our present rage for knickerbockers is beyond the power of any ordinary mortal to say. Certainly It would be a Joy to tho wearer, anfj a pleasure to the beholder, If women could discard their hampering and ungraceful skirts, at least for walking, for street wear and for all vigorous exercise. That is the prediction of some of tho tailors, hotly contradicted by others. Tho fact remains that there have never been so many knicker suits In the shops, not merely tn the special tailor, or the sporting goods shops, but in the department stores that cater to the general public. They are shown mostly ns golf or country club suits, though they are made in many Instances either .with a rather long coat, or a separnto short skirt, which would make them quite us modest and practical for street wear as much that we now Indulge in. In the sketch is anew model of this later type. Knickerbockers and a blouse of light weight, black and white check flannel, ar almost completely covered by a knee length sports coat of oxford gray tweed. The note of black Is repeated ou the coat In a collar, cuffs, pocket hems, and a wide, low, double buckled belt of soft black leather. With the suit are worn a quill trimmed sports hat, oxford gray wool sports hose and low heeled strap pumps.

Helpful Household Hints | To get up broken glass from a rug or i carpet try wetting a woolen cloth and ", place over pieces of broken glass patting ; It down and the pieces will stick and come up with the cloth, I For cleaning gilt frames use the wa- ; ter In which onions have been boiled, as | it will restore their brightness. I To keep frost off windows, coat them i inside and out with a tliln coat of pure glycerine. Should bricks near sills or steps become soap-splashed in scrubbing, stains can be removed with a solution of vinegar in hot water applied with a sponge. Milady's Beauty We cannot get too much fresh air, even In the coldest winter weather, and It Is well to form the habit of opening wide the windows at night. Take all the out-of-door exercise possl- , hie and you will soon be rewarded by feeling a great deal better In every way. Walking greatly assists our digestive j organs. We start the circulation and help almost every organ In the body to j carry on its work. ! Nervousness and indigestion are greatly lessened by rational exercise and so is insomnia. Walk, walk, walk; there’s : nothing like it. The soft warm glow on i the checks, after a long walk, is more beautiful than any artificial color could ) ever be made to appear. Every girl should walk from three to four miles a , day to keep herself in tone, and could we realize what vigorous health we would attain by this I am sure we would all walk more.

And, of course. Puss woke up and looked around, for he had forgotten that he had fallen asleep on the st-at of the old hay wagon, as I told you in the last story, and had only waked up when the farm horses stopped at the farmhouse and the good-natured farmer had called out, "Mary, come and see what I have here:" And, of course, Ms voice woke up j our small traveler. ! As soon as Puss had smoothed himself nnd curled his whPkers, and the farmer had returned from the barn, supper was ready, and after that was over, they all sat In the sitting room around the table where a big lamp made everything bright and cozy. And then Puss told a story, one of his adventures, and as he was trow quite accustomed to story-telling, he wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. “One day." he began, after curling bis j mustache nnd crossing his right log over ; the left, “one day, in Old Mother Goose i Land before I crossed the border and , came to this cn-in'ry, 1 was traveling j with my good little comrade. Tom Thumb. He was a most Interesting little fellow, for he had been at the court of King Arthur, and had met many royal ; er- ; sons. Well, as I was saying. Tom Thumb j I and t were traveling together when wo 1 came to a deep wood. And alter we had j : gone for some distance we came across j i the Fairy Queen, who told us to be care- j ful of a wicked witch who had shut up a j beantifni maiden in a gloomy tower. j “Well. Tom Thumb and I were anxious i for an adventure, so we thanked the Fairy j Queen and hastened on, determined to i find the tower snd rescue the maiden j Rv and by we heard a voice, saying, j ‘Kspnnsel. let down thy hair” So we] crept forward nnd presently saw an old | witch standing at the foot of a high tower. Tn a few moments a coll of beautiful golden hair came down and the wicked witch climbed up to a little window “Tom and T waited paftently until the wicked witch came down and went away. I Then we stood at the foot of the tower and railed to Rapunsel, for this was the beautiful maiden's name, to let down her i hair, and when she did vr climbed up. You ran Imagine how happy she -was when we told her we would resene her. j “.Tust then we heard the voice of the ; wicked witch, so we htd In the closet.” j At this point Puss stopped, for It was ] 1 tnte. “I will finish my story tomorrow.” ] ; said nnr little traTeler, and then they 1 ail went to bed, as you who read this str.-y must, hut tomorrow I promise to tell yon more about Puss Junior nnd his trs’-els.—Copyright. 1921. (To Be Continued.) Canadians Buvimr Many Automobiles TM-GTNA. Saskatchewan. Nov. 1. — j Figures published by tbe provincial government show that the number of automobiles owned tn Saskatchewan tn 1020 was 00.825. as compared with 55,010 In 1010 and 46.5R0 tn 101*. This Is a remarkable showing when It Is considered that In 1008 the total number of motor vehicles of all descriptions in the province was only seventy-four. This rapid increase in the number of automobiles is attributed to the rapid settlement of the province and the prosperity achieved by the settlers in farm homes. In this country, where farms are often paid for by a single crop, more i ’-■df the automobiles are owned by farmers.

SHANK POLICIES PROMISE ERA OFFRUGALITY City Will No Longer Pay for Home Phones of Officials. CLOSE CHECK ON COSTS That the attitude of the Shank administration toward public utilities will , not be one of opposition “just because tho public utility is a public utility,” was forecast in a statement of Taylor iE. Gronlnger, appointee for corporation | counsel today. The corporation counsel generally guides the city policy toward ! public utilities, representing the city, as he does, before the public service conimls- ! slon. Mr. Groninger said that the general policy of the administration toward utilities probably will be worked out at conferences he Intends to have with the members of the legal department and heads of departments. This attitude, he said hp felt sure, would not be one of Hind opposition. PEOPLE TO BE PROTECTED. "I am not one of those who is opposed to the public utility, just because it is a public utility,” said Mr. Groninger. “1 believe that the people should be protected and Intend to see that they are but at the same time I believe that every business should be given Its opportunity | to. make a fair return upon its investment ! and I especially believe that public utilj ities should have this opportunity in or- ; der that they may he in position to meet ■ increased demands of the public for ! service.” | He said he has no definite ideas yet upon what attitude the administration should have toward the utility problems now pending. These matters will have , to tie thrashed out in the conferences, he ] said. Mr. Groninger said that as corporation counsel he is going to insist that Mr. j Shank have the board of public safety I stop the practice of paying for the home telephones of members of the police and fire departments. I’rivate phone rentals ! of battalion chiefs, assistant chiefs and 1 the chief of the fire department and of all detective sergeants and officers of the rank of lieutenant and above in the police department now are paid by the board of public safety. “I don’t see why the city should pay for the hom ephone of any employe. The city certainly isn’t going to pay for my ! telephone,” said Mr. Groninger. NO PRIVATE TRIPS IN CITY ArTOS. Another thing which sfr. Groninger said he was going to try to have stopped, is the practice of city employes using city automobiles for private trips. He sard he could not even see why the chief of police should be furnished a car to drive between his home and police headquarters. Some system has got to be installed whereby a close check on gasoline and oil may be kept at the municipal garage so that none of It can be used for private purposes. There are some eighty automobiles kept at the municipal garage, he said, and he favors a careful Investigation to see if some of them can i not be dispensed with. “Public trust is not a private snap,” She said. “You’re going to find me raising Cain along financial Lines.” PLANS PROCEED FOR FOUNDATION Art Design for Wilson Memorial Soon Ready. NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Reproductions of the design to commemorate the founding of tile IV lodrow Wilson foundation i are to be struck o;T in the form of certificates to subscribers to the endowment. according to an announcement from : national headquarters of the foundation, 150 Nassau street. Distinguished American artsist are engaged in a limited competition to create the design and win the prize of SSOO to be presented by a committee of award, of which Charles Dana Gibson is chairman. The central feature of the design is to be a portrait etching of Woodrow Wilson. Reproductions of the design will be available Jan.,id, 1522, at which time the foundation will open its public appeal for contributions, it is proposed to raise a permumont endowment of one million dollars or more, using the income to grant awards comparable to the Nobel prizes, for “meritorious service to democracy, public welfare, liberal thought or peace through justice.” $5,000 Damages Asked on Contract for Coal Damages of $5,000 as the result of a cancellation of contract for almost 7,000 tons of coal, nre asked of Carl A. Seibel, doing Business under the name of the Dunn Coat Company, Ft. Wayne, In a suit filed in Federal Court yesterday by the Riverside Coal Company of Jackson, Ky. The complaint charges that in March, 1920, Seit el contracted with the Tuttle Coal Company, sales agents for the plaintiff. for the delivery of 10,000 tons of coal at $3.80 a ton. Nov. 27, after 3,09$ tons had been del'.-: veil, ihe defendant refused to accept further shipments. Meantime, the price of coal broke sharply. The damages represent the difference between the contract price and market price at the time of cancellation. A large number of suits of this character have been filed in Federal Court in tbe past year. Try to Perfect Tanks LONDON. Nov.
