( Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising offices } New York. Boston, Payne. Burns & Sin'ch, Inc. THE WASHINGTON Administration should back up its disarmament preaching with a little practice. WAR HEROES from Europe seem to be moving across this country by degrees —the honorary kind. ORDERS HAY RATE cuts in effect Dec. 27 —headline. This should reduce the price of breakfast foods and revive the popularity of Hawaiian dancers. WITH SWINE on foot selling at 7 cents per pound it looks as if the general public is entitled to a porhchop breakfast once in a while without paying war-time prices for it. Disarmament and the League The weakness of merely a limitation of armaments as opposed to a league of nations combined with disarmament or a limitation of armaments is becoming apparent as the conference at Washington continues. This does not mean that a limitation of armaments is not greatly to be desired but a limitation of armaments combi. _d with some sort of working agreement would be far better. This situation was brought forcibly to the front in the statement of Premier Aristide Briand of France. M. Briand pointed out that while France is willing to cut its army in half, it feels that it will be under a menace from other countries which are not for obvious reasons represented at the conference. For instance, he points out that 250,000 Germans ora receiving ‘daily military instruction and that Germany is able to place in the field an army of 6,000,000 to 7,000.000 men. He points out in addition that the potential man power of Russia is 20,000,000. This is the place where the limitation of armaments without an organization to back it up is weak. What assurance have we that Germany and Russia will submit to a limitation program? If they do not, what Is there to compel them to do so? It may be argued that the other nations are exerting control over Germany and that Russia is not capable of putting an army in the field. This is true now but it will not remain true. There will come a time, perhaps many years in the future, when Germany will again be on its feet as a nation and even Russia will in the course of events become at least a semblance of a nation. With all the great powers functioning in a league of nations it would be entirely possible to compel either Germany or Russia to cut down its armaments. The international boycott provided in the league covenant could be invoked with telling effect. This is not an argument against the limitation of armaments, but it is an argument for something more than merely a gentlemen's agreement Neither does It mean that there is any doubt that the nations involved would keep such an agreement, but it does mean that such an agreement would not go far enough. Os course, there is a league of nations in existance, but without the cooperation of all the powers in the conference at Washington it cannot be very effective. It might be pointed out, by the way, that while politics was responsible for the failure of the Fnited States to ratify the league covenant, there has been no political interference with the conference now in progress. The attitude of M. Briand can meet with nothing but praise from the friends of France on this side of the Atlantic. Every one knows what France has gone through during the last fifty years. Every one knows how necessary it was to maintain a large standing army during all that time. "When these things are taken into consideration it is easy to understand why the French people would be reluctant to do away with such an array now after they have lived under a menacing shadow for so many years. It is hard to make them believe that the thing that cast that shadow really has been done away with. With these things in mind the concessions of M. Briand may be termed the greatest development thus far in a great program. . The Memorial Controversy It is gratifying to note that out of all the different:,es of opinion created by the agitation for a world war memorial plaza in Indianapolis the determination of the State to proceed with the central theme —the world war memorial building—stands clearly. The State, led by Governor Warren T. McCray and other officials, especially those on the war memorial commission, has refused to become a party to the bickerings and dissensions which have tom various elements in Indianapolis ever since the agitation for the city and county to share Jointly the expense of creating a proper setting for the edifice which Indiana plans to build to her heroic dead was begun. Even now, when the fight seems to be at a hectic point, the State officials are taking steps to begin the erection of a testimonial which they hope will stand as a tribute to the World War veterans as the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument has stood and will continue to stand as a silent monument to Hooslers who fought to preserve the Union. Much misinformation has been spread abroad concerning the tripartite arrangement whereby State, ounty and city would unite in honoring the soldiers. And this fact has been no small factor In creating some of the bitterness that has sprung up frequently during the long campaign. The State of Indiana owns the ground upon which the memorial can be bnilt and it already has voted a tax levy which is now producing the funds with which to finance the structure. The tilt here Is not over whether Marion County and the city o? Indianapolis will contribute money to the grandeur of tho memorial building proper, but whether they will jointly acquire a site to be converted into a plaza as a setting for the memorial. The State's contribution under that arrangement would be the building, the county and city's the plaza. A fact that is frequently lost sight of Is that the memorial building and the memorial plaza are different projects whose objectives are the same—a tribute to the Indiana men and women who served in the World War. Every taxpayer In the State will pay his proportionate amount toward the erection of the memorial building, whether he lives in Indianapolis or not It will be truly a State memorial. The crux of the present argument Is whether the county and the city will add to this tribute by taking up the work simultaneously with the State, or whether they will wait ‘Family Day* A local pastor recently made, the suggestion that to the epidemic of “days” being celebrated nowadays '’family day” be added. It came home to a large part of the congregation, no doubt, that the good fellowship among families is rapidly disappearing, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters becoming merely acquaintances. Club women are listening to lectures on the wildness of the present generation, the abbreviated skirt, tho gambling tendencies of the high school boy and lamenting the fact that their youngsters are going too lively a pace, when the fact is they are not very well acquainted with their children. Dad rushes madly down to pull sonnie out of a scrape over matching pennies in high school and groans over the horrible dishonor, when frequently the self same dad Is too busy attending quiet little poker parties and “doing” lodges to "pal” around with the “kid.” So altogether it seems that a family night would be a boon to everybody. If every household would set aside one night for everybody to loaf around home, there might be a lot of rollicking revolutions in Indianapolis homes. Movies as Sermons A Logansport minister has substituted motion pictures for sermons and has thus succeeded in filling his church every Sunday night. There is food for thought in this. How many times have reformers, the courts and others blamed the wrong kind of motion pictures for crime, especially among the young. If the movies instigate crime why would It not be possible for movies to lead erring ones into the paths of righteousness? Then, again, the motion picture might attract to the church persons who would otherwise go to a theater to see movies on Sunday night. Hereafter some of the more progressive ministers may turn a barrel of reels over on the first of each year instead of a barrel of sermons. Anyway, the exp Arrant will be looked upon with interest.

BERNARD HAS A THEATRICAL PLAY * lrene* Returns—Trained Lions at Lyric

Barney Bernard appeared at English’s last night in the first of three performances of "Two Blocks Away,” a play which failed to meet with sufficient boxI office success either in New York or Chi- | cago to warrant long runs. Personally, I do not care if Chicago and New York passed up this show. 1 am oecassionally reminded that plays I have enjoyed and even endorsed have 1 failed in New York. Several howling New York successes have failed to impress me when seen here. As far as I ; am concerned, it isn’t necessnrv for New | York and Chicago to become the Judges of plays. 1 admit that “Two Blocks Away’’ is a theatrical play in which the author, Aaron Hoffman has attempted to tell a modern fairy story of an old shoe cobbler who suddenly becomes wealthy, moves to a swell New Y'ork avenue palace and for a time forgets his old acquaintances but In the end he realizes that a , man Is wealthy only when his real j treasures are in his mind and heart. Mr Bernard and his competent company really entertained those who attended English's last night. Mr. Bernard's interpretation of Nate Pommorantz rnndo up for the apparent fhentriealnoss of the play as a play. He gets into your heart and the memory of hts work will linger for many moons with you. Send us. Mr. Producer, some more plays that Chicago and New York have passed up. Os course. "Two Blocks Away” couldn’t happen in real life Just ns It occurs on j the stage. Wo don't demand that all of j °ur stories and books be true to life. So why condom n show on the grounds that it is too theatrical? There are plenty of witty and heart-touching remarks in this play although the audience knows that it is only a story. i The play as a play lias its faults when considered under certain dramatic rules : governing composition, but when a play ! all, l ft player can give an audience as | much enjoyment as Mr. Bernard and "Two Blocks Away” did at English's last night. I am not going to condemn : It because Chicago and New York didn't ! go wild over them. Mr. Bernard Is better than the play. I would want him to be. Ho Is the life ; saver to "Two Blocks Away." The author has boon too generous with his stage tricks and the ability of Mr. Beri aard has softened many of tho tricks j that the author stages on an audience. The first act, when Nate Is a poor man In worldly goods, but rich In tine thoughts and actions. Is the real stnff up to nearly the end of the act, when It I becomes theatrical—not the fault of Mr. | Bernard, but the fault of the author. But yet, Bernard holds ymir Interest and | makes you want to see him In his swell Fifth avenue home. There he Is Hny old i money bag and does not become human ; until he realises that h!s ward. June, as played so sweetly by Miss Edna Illb ! bard, is going bn<-k to hr old friends—two blocks away He discovers that the *250,000 he Inherited does not belong to I him and ho dramatically and theatrically | as well returns the original Inheritance ; to his life long friend. BIU Lewis, who is entitled to the money. Bill doesn't i loose his grip on life and you get the : impression that Nate. Bill, June and her . honest-to-goodness lover, Tom Roland, I are going to be very happy. Miss Hibbard as Jane Is of tho sweetsweety type but not too awful sweet. She is refreshing and you feol all tho time that she is such a square little party that she will never give Tom the I "cold shoulder." Robert Craig Is real as Tom. Couldn’t Improve upon htm. Harold Russell Is more than satisfactory as Bill Lewis, a carpenter, who longs ti> jho n cop per The others of the cast aid [in making the fair; sjory enjoyable en- ! tertainment. "Two Blocks Away” is not a wonderj fnl play. but. tho fine work of Mr. Bern- ! ard brings Fiat choerv feeling to one j If a piny mains vou happy—what's tho ; difference whether Chicago and Now York | failed to declare it to be a whalo of a ! success. I like me drama ns I want It and I am ; not ashamed to admit that Mr. Bernard gave me nn enjoyable evening. Mr. Bernard will be on view tonight and Wednesday night nt English’s. On : Thursday afternoon, Grant Mitchell opens la th eo day engagement in "The Chami pton.” — W. n. D. -i- -I- -I----i "IRENE” STILT. PIKASES ON HER SECOND VISIT. That “ilweet Little Alice Blue Gown" ie Just as sweet as ever and so is Dale Winter who wears It. They both appear in "Irene" at the Murat Theater all this week. With n few exceptions, the east is the same as last year with Miss Winter In the lending part and with Flo Irwin iln tho chn meter part of Mrs. O'Dare | which, she plays so well. Th" music Is the principal attraction of “Irene.” Thero aru few more captivating songs in musical comedy than “Alice Blue Gown.” “Castle of Dreams," and "Irena.” Tho company appears to be well chosen for it* voices and this | adds to the attractiveness of tho performance. It Is hardly ceceesary to go Into tho story of the comedy, for nearly every theatergoer knows It, but goes to see tho performance again and again Just the same. You will remember that the plot has to do with a llttlo shop girl and two of her friends who are made to blossom Into social butterflies by a male modlste calling himself Madam Lucy. Everyone will remember the scenes on ♦he tenement fire escape where the three friends make their plots and where the mothers wonder Just how much and that which they have been told they can believe. And no one can forget the extremely funny entrance at the ball in the last act of Flo Irwin as Mrs. O'Dare. Miss Winter makes a charming little ; Irene and no Irwin as her largo Irish i mother could hardly be equaled. They ! have anew Madam Lucy this year In I Iho person of Teddy McNamara and i somehow he is a little disappointing. Madam T.ueys of tho past have boon at least somewhat plausable. He isn’t at all. He is Just a comedian. Howard Freeman as Donald Marshall, Robert Harrison, playing a character with a name-the same as his own, Henry Coote ns .T P. Bowden Louise Worthington ns Helen Chcston and Erica Mnckay as Jano Gilmour give adequate performances. "Irene” is worth seeing even if you have seen it before. ,

SPLENDID ACTING

MR. BARNEY BARNARD. In “Two Blocks Away,” anew play hy Aaron Hoffman, Mr. Bernard plays the role of nn old shoe cobbler who suddenly becomes very rich. The play ns revealed last night at English’s is made enjoyable by the really fine work of Mr. Bernard. AMELIA BINGHAM AGAIN LS IN OI K 1 \I t CITY. Amelia Bingham, who has been successfully associated with the activities of the legitimate stage for many years, has returned to the city In a vaudeville playlet, "Catherine, Empress of Russia.'’ As revealed nt tho locul Keith house yesterday afternoon. It was apparent that the sketch is of a much heavier nature than the average sketch seen at this house. There is one attribute that the older actresses possess t i;>i gome of the younger oi.es fail to realize Its Importance. I am speaking of Miss Bingham's ability i to pronounce and shade every word correctly. I am quite sure she enn be heard over the entire house She knows how to talk ou the stage and what a rare gift It is. Since the Czar of Russia and his royal family ere no more, I am not worried I very much over the former rulers of that country. Isj these days of democracy I am tinablo to obtain any thrill from seeing an empress discover that her people should te first instead of her own seliish desires. The sketch give* Miss Bingham an ! opportunity to use her dramatic powers. Her court gown Is ft stunning creation of pearls, jewels and the ilke. Her reception yesterday afternoon was cordial. Her support was satisfactory on the whole. William Brack and members of hta company reveal some excellent showmanship In staging an aerobatic offering. They work with so much speed In staging exceptional stunts that their act becomes one of the outstanding features of an ordinary bill. Bobby Folson, in a number of songs, mostly of the popular Jazz nature, found It easy to make herself nn enjoyable offering of the bill Cook and Ontrnnn seem to give the Impression that they are terribly satisfied with themselves and how they linger, especially the man. to obtain applause at the end of their act. Their voices deserve better material than they have. Jim and Betty Morgan find favor by singing “A Roaming Romeo" and "When Francis Dances With Me." Their Instrumental finish is a winner. Devlyn and Lloyd, billed as "Two Gentlemen From Virginia," are remembered from a for hut enson. James nnd Etta Mitchell close the bill In “Fun In the Air ” Van Clove and his trick mule open the show. At B. F. Keith’s nil week.—W. D. 11. -I- -!- -ICOMEDY DOMINATES BILL NOW AT THE LYRIC. Captain Pel Mar's lions, 1* tho headline offering at the Lyric this week. Tho captain seems perfectly nt homo with tne Hons but we were glad that they were in a cage for they tnado our haiq stand on ends Just as it did when we firSt read the Jungle stories. “Nine o'clock,” a rovue, Is a school act with a charming young miss os teacher. The school board appears to Inform teacher that she Isn't needed any more as there are no youngsters to teach hut she holds them to a contrnct nnd they decide they are not too old to loarn and become her pupils. The old boys get lots of fun from the situation nnd have the audienco langhlng nearly all the time. Their harmony singing Is also well received. This Is the sort of an act that appeals to the Lyric audience. Wamsley and Leighton got Jots of laughs with their "small town sport” comedy. Rogers nnd I‘nge. is a team of men who get. much comedy at a soda fountain. One is dressed as a female soda dispenser, who allows that 'llfo Is Just one Coco Cola after another.” "She” looks and acts tho part well. Wo arr glad that the Impersonator didn't attempt falsetto singing. Billy Tamm, a tramp comedian, wonld do well to eliminate some of the old “gags.” He does some wooden shoe dancing well and also some clever comedy , Juggling. The La Velle Four consists of three women and a man in Colonial costumes who sing and play the piano and violin. ! Their program contains high class selec- I tlons. Morell and Mae poke comedy j chatter at a very tall member of the team. George \V. Moore does some clever Juggling Jn a comedy way. The show at the Lyric this week Is a : good one from a comedy standpoint. -I- -I- -!- CONCERNING “THE BABA’ BEARS." Manager G. Everett Black of the Park told us after the first showing of “The Baby Bears” that ho had applied tho

“blue pencil” to certain parts of the : show, the result being that numerous re- ' marks of bad taste and a bedroom scene were ordered eliminated from the show. Mr. Black is to be congratulated on applying the pencil. "The Baby Bears" has some singers I nnd dancers capable of entertaining an | audience without resorting to questionable stuff; as demonstrated by the applause given Harry S. Levan on his dancing and Ruth Denice on her singing. This year's offering Is called “The Love Rost” and is in two acts and five scenes. The costumes, scenery and chorus are fairly good. At the Park all week. ON TnE MOVIE SCREEN. The following attractions may be seen today at the local movie houses: “Tho Cup of Life” and “The Landing of the Pilgrims” at the Circle, “Under the Lash” at the Ohio, "Don’t Tell Everything” at Loew’s State, “The Man of Stone” at the Colonial, "Dawn of the East” at Mister Smith’s, "Exit The Vamp” at the Alhambra, “The Devil Within” at the Isis and “The Broadway Buekaroo” and "The Idle Class" at the Regent. ‘Curb Bettors’ Wag*er on Pigeon on Clock DEFIANCE, Ohio, Nov. 22.—Curb gambling has started here. the gamblers stood across the street from the county courthouse. Their wagers were made on the probable time a pigeon, perched on the big minute hand of the courthouse clock, could maintain his lofty perch. # The longest guess was five minutes. But the bird clung fast until twenty minutes later, when the bell tolled five. Soon after the striking ceased the bird returned and rode the hand fifteen minutes longer. ' now greyhound hunts. The greyhound hunts entirely by sight. Its narrow muzzle and small nostrils affecting its sense of smell. * HERE’S A CHANGE. Erer tried baked marrow for a change? Having greased a bnking tin well, place 1n the marrow slices, cut fairly thick, pour over a little fat and bake with the meat until done.

In the Realm Where Woman Reigns

Keeping House j * 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.] TUESDAY. The days had passed so quickly that Mrs. Hooper did not realize that she had not seen the Bride except for the time they had been together on Friday going to and from the club and even then they had not been alone as .Mrs. Campbeli who lived on the same block had Joined them. As she went down to the laundry to do her washing Henry's conversation *of a couple of weeks ago recurred to her. He had said that the Bride’s husband had consulted him as to the cost of washing machines because she had expressed a desire for one rather than for a piece of Jewelry that he had planned to give her. While speculation about it was going though her mind the Bride appeared at the door of the laundry smiling gayly. "I thought I'd find you down here about this time on Tuesday,” she said coming in and taking off her hat. "I’ve missed you very much my dear," returned Mrs. Hooper, pulling the wooden slool over for her to sit on. "I suppose you have been busy or I should have seen you oftener.” "Yes I have been busy," admitted the Bride, "the house seemed to need a lot of straightening out after I’d been away from it, and I think I’ve been a llttlo ashamed of myself for having ilinde such a fuss to you about my quarrel with Bob.” "I don’t think you should have felt that way about having confided In tne.” replied Mrs. Hooper, soothingly, "beeanso while I didn’t at all approve of your leaving your husband because he didn’t tell you that he was in the city during the two weeks that you thought he wns on a business trip, I did believe you had much cause to feel angry with him In spite of Ids excuses.” ‘I think I felt, more hurt than angry," said tho Bride, '“but of course I was doing Just ns I pleased, too, about leav-

i tng homo to nnrse Betty, and I didn’t let him know I was going to do that, i “Yes. you see he had some argument to strengthen his excuse." admitted Mrs. ilooper, but I hope tills will be a lesson and that neither of you will be so foolish again. For either one of you !to keep the other In the dark as to what ho Is doing Is a very dangerous proceeding.” "So I’ve learned," said tho Bride grimly, "1 had no idea I could gat so wrought up about anything that Bob could do, and when I thought It over I knew ho had soma cause for complaint, too. but of course not so much as I had." Mrs. nooper laughed. “Well, so long as it Is all over and that you both realize you were wrong, you ought to dismiss It from vour minds absolutely and treat the thing Is if it had never happened.” “Os course 1 Intend to do that,” promised tho Bride, “but do you know. Mrs. Hooper. I think Bob got the wrong idea about nus when I let him go off on Ids vacation hy htmself this summer. He wns Just short sighted enough to imaglno that 1 wouldn't he very fussy no matter what he did. “Oh I believe you are mistaken about that," said Mrs. Hooper quickly. “I don’t see how he could possibly have I failed to realize that it was pure unselfI ishness on your part that caused you to want him to go off with his old college ! friends for a couple of weeks instead of tnking you somewhere with him.” “Well men are queer,” insisted tho Bride, "and I don’t believe lie got my point of view at nIL” “T don’t see why he should have thought any differently about It from what Henry did,” said Mrs. Hooper. “But nre you perfectly certain how Mr. Hooper did feel about It," Inquired | tho Bride stubbornly. “I'm inclined to | think we both took a good donl for granted and that it may not be such a

fine Idea after all. At any rate I don’t intend to try it again. I shall take my vacation with Bob after this no matter what yon decide to do about Mr. Hooper.” “Well of course Betty’s illness was one direct result of the way I planned our vacation,” admitted Mrs. Hooper, “but I don't think I’d consider that a defect in the plan, but class it as an unavoidable accident.” “Well my experience with Bob wasn’t an unavoidable accident and I don't intend to tempt the fates again,” laughed the Bride, "but I didn’t come over this morning to talk about myself. 1 hear Helen is to have a party on Saturday. What can I do to help?” "Come over tomorrow afternoon to tea and we ■will talk the plans over with Helen,” said Mrs. Hooper, bb she put the white clothes in the basket preparatory- to hanging them on the line. "I think I’d better wait and come over the first of the week,” said the Bride. "There Is really plenty of time and ypu will have so much to do preparing for Thanksgiving and then your sister-in-law will be with you till Monday.” The three meals for Wednesday are: BREAKFAST.

Helpful Household Hints To make a carpet or rug look like new, mix an equal amonnt of sawdust and gasoline and spread thickly on rug and sweep. If badly soiled, wash over with ammonia and water. Results will be surprising. Be careful to have no fire near when using gasoline. The room itself should not be too hot while using this : preparation. To clean white paint take whitening and make a thin white paste and rub It on the soiled wall or woodwork with a wet cloth. Then have a clear bucket of water with a sponge and chamois to polish It. Do not use any soap. This is very good, ns It does not make the white paint yellow, as soap does. ' PUSS IN BOOTS JR. - By Corx ~ ~ It wns late one evening as Puss Junior entered a city In New Mother Goose Land. For the moment I’ve forgotten the name, but if I remember It 1 will tell you later. At any rate, It won’t matter much, for Puss didn't stay there long. B ell, as I was saying, he entered the city, tired and hungry, for he had travelled far that day, and as he walked up the brightly lighted street a man said to him: i "Saw ye aught of my love a-oomlng from the Opera? Around her throat a string of pearls. And on her neck two little curls; Saw ye aught of my love a-comlng from from the opera? "My good man, I’m a stranger and have just arrived. I have seen no string of pearls nor little curls on any pretty little girls,” and Puss grinned, for he was too anxious to find a night's lodging to notice pearls and curls. "Too bad!” sighed the man, and he took off his opera hat. and flattened it nnd then snapped It out again, which made a little paper boy open his eyes and say, “Do It again, Mister; It sounds like a pistol.” But the man wouldn't, so the little newsboy ran off and Puss turned away, for he had no time to ba talking to opera goers. And by and by he saw a little light at the end of a narrow street. So he walked along until he came to a little house, and there In a hammock on the front porch sat a pretty yellow hen, swinging back and forth, aud singing to herself: "It’s after ten! It's after ten! Time for bed for Yellow Hen." ’Good evening!'’ said Puss, taking oft his plumed hat and bowing politely. “May I ask for a night's lodging. I’m tired nnd footsore, and have traveled many miles In New Mother Goose Land.” The little Yellow Hen flapped he* wings and said, "Travelers are always welcome. We hear little news down at the end of this narrow street. Tell me some news, my good Sir Cat.” "Are you sure you are not too sleepy?” asked Puss. ‘lt was only a few minute* ago you wore sluging It's after ten; It's after ten; time for bed for Yellow Hen!” But the lltlle hen laughed and said, “I expect Mr. Booster home and 1 must wait np for him, for "He’s the Cock at early dawn Who blows on the Mayor's auto horn To wake the city and stir the men To bo up and at their work again.” And Jnst then a gaily feathered rooster walked up the steps, but what he said 1 shall have to teU you In the next story, for It’s so late now that 1 must say good-night.—Copyright, 11)21.
