EVERY GOVERNOR appears to find it necessary to have his own special session. . IT APPEARS that the street car company knows what it wants but is unable to explain how its wants can be fulfilled. ANYHOW, we have progressed to the point where we have plans for swimming pools. Last year we had only broken promises. HERB HARTMAN has nothing to do now except convince the people of Indianapolis that he was the victim of a merciless frame-up. HOWEVER, Postmaster General Hays will have the complete sympathy of the public in the protection of the mails at any cost. IF THE GOVERNOR calls that special session soon the Legislators will be able to apply their $6 a day mileage to their Christmas bills. IF THINGS keep on perhaps those persons who could not figure out how President Harding stood during the campaign will have their questions answered after all. ' JUDGE ANDERSON finds that the limit of punishment established by law is not enough. In bur State courts the minimum is too frequently so much as to prompt a suspended sentence. National Education Week Next week is national education week, a movement sponsored by the American Legion and the National Education Association and which has the cooperation of school authorities throughout the country. There have been bo many “weeks’* and “days” recently that we are all somewhat tired of them, but national education week deserves to be recognized and generally observed. The program for the week is to be carried out along patriotic lines. The organizations in charge suggest that in every possible way the attention of the public should be centered on educational problems, such as the need of better buildings, libraries ana equipment and playgrounds; bette/ attendance; better paid teachers; longer school term; better vocational education; better understanding of the form and fundamental principles of our government and oetter and universal use of the English language. The first of these subjects, the need for better buildings, need not be called to tie attention of citizens of Indianapolis, for it has been before the public for months without a solution. The question of better attendance is a serious one In Indiana, although it hardly applies to Indianapolis. It may be surprising to some to know that a large number of southern Indiana schools have been closed because of small attendance and that in many parts of the State school authorities are struggling to persuade parents to send their children to school. The new State attendance department is doing good work along this line. The problem of teachers’ salaries has been successfully solved In Indiana to the satisfaction of teachers and taxpayers alike, but the next on the list, that of longer terms, is still to be solved. In the poorer counties of the State the school terms are vep- short, some of them only six months. There is a continuous effort to extend them but this has not met with much success because of lack of funds. Vocational education is being fairly well taken care of, although the State department is seriously handicapped for want of sufficient money. Perhaps, after all, the need for a better understanding of the form and fundamental principals of our government is the most urgent. It is true, however surprising It may be, that many of our common school graduates, and not a few of our high school graduates, have no conception of our governmental forms. It is true that they have been taught <n a general way but not enough attention was paid to this kind of teae v .ng to Impress the facts on their minds. Not all high school gradir es have studied civics and those who have not have had little said to them about governmental forms and principles. Without this knowledge they are in no way qualified to become voters. It would be well for each citizen to take a little time off next week to learn something about the schools and their needs.

Commendable Efforts of the public service commission and the interstate commerce commission to keep in operation the branch line of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad in Indiana are to be commended. The owners of the road are threatening to abandon it because it is not profitable. This road leads from the coal fields through half the length of the State, being the only railroad in a number of small Indiana cities. While the operation of the road may be a loss to the owners, its abandonment would mean irreparable loss to the cities and towns which it serves. Tha proposal is for the government to assist the I’ere Marquette railroad in purchasing the property. If this is done tha road can be kept la operation and eventually put on a profitable basis. Transportation is the life of any city or town and transportation should be maintained at almost any cost It is to be hoped that the proposed sale of the road can be consummated. A New World In the midst of such momentous things as the conference on the limitation of armaments, the Arbuckle trial and other absorbing topics which are holding the attention of newspaper readers an astronomer down in Buenos Aires claims the notice of a busy world by announcing the discovery of anew planet. This announcement is interesting because it serves to call attention to the fact that there are still persons in the world who are devoting their time to scientific study merely for the sake of the study. Their efforts may not add much to the progress of the world as most people look at it, but they do add to the sum total of world knowledge. The discovery of anew planet serves also to bring about some conception of the bigness of things and the small importance of earthly problems over which we fume and fret and fight. Here is anew world, the existence of which no one has previously known. It may be peopled with beings who have solved the problems with which we are struggling or who may be going through just such a struggle. When we think that ours and this new world may be only one of hundreds, pe-haps thousands, perhaps an infinite number of such worlds, our existence and our problems shrink to l point almost beyond comprehension. Perhaps if we thought about these things a little more we ( would not take ourselves so seriously. Diplomatic Progress That the world has progressed far from the secret diplomacy and carefully guarded discussions and agreements that pertained before the world war and up until the Versailles conference is evidenced by the sharp verbal tilt between Earl Curzon, British foreign minister, and Aristide Briand, Premier of France. Curxon publicly declared that France had “stolen a march” on her allies by entering into a separate agreement with the Turkish nationalist government. Briand issued an emphatic denial through the press. Both of these men, occupying exalted official positions and speaking for their own countrymen, frankly took the public into their confidence in expressing their opinions. Formerly when men of their standing took such sharp issue with each other over governmental policies war clouds loomed alarmingly near. But thanks to the new era that has been ushered in by the climax of the world war it cannot be said that the relations between France and England are even strained, and they undoubtedly will continue on their friendly course. The sharp differences of opinion expressed by the two statesmen will do much to clarify a misunderstanding and the nationalities concerned are fully aware of the turn events have taken. It is indeed a wholesome spectacle to see statesmen discuss frankly and publicly issues that, covered up by secrecy and augmented by intrigue, might easily have led to serious consequences in the old days.

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.

"He said it would be very foolish for us to do anything of the kind.’’ added Mrs. Hooper triumphantly, "and that my plan to pay him was entirely sensible and that it would be no hardship whatever for him to get his money In that way.” "Well If you and he are satisfied I mippose 1 ought to be." gpimblcd Henry, “but after how jou hesitated about Inlying a washing machine on the Installment plan and now are so anxious to pay a doctor's bill In little dabs Is what I can't understand." "The prim'iple Isn’t the same at all,’ replied Mrs. Hooper positively, "and I’m certainly glad the doctor saw the reason for what I proposed doing more clearly than you do.” "Well I have some pride In wanting to see a bill like that paid nt once when we can get the money to do It,” Henry growled taking up the newspaper. “The doctor also said he rather felt that he should have sent us no bill at all.” re sumed Mrs. Hooper quietly, "because If It had not been for the Bride's nursing and my help he would never In the world have saved Betty. He remarked that he never was so positive of anything In his life.” “I suppose that's why his bill was so surprisingly small,” commented Mr. Hooper. ‘‘Very likely.” replied Mrs. Hooper, “and our account with him now stands with a balance of SOO. I paid him all the surplus In my advancement budget to which I added the sl2.7f> interest on tho bonds which made $lO on account.” “And It will take nt least six months to close It up,’’ muttered Henry. “Quite that long I expect,” concluded Mrs. Hooper. The three meals on Wednesday are: BREA KFAST. Grape Juice Cereal Omelet Biscuits LrNTIIEON. Vegetable Chowder Crackers Baked Apples Gingerbread. Milk. DINNER. Cream of Spinach Soup Beef Loaf Hashed Brown Potatoes String Beans Tapioca Pudding. BREAD OMELET, Soak three tablespoons of stale bread crumbs 4n a cup of milk for two hours. Beat six eggs—whites and yolks separately—very light. Into the yolks stir the soaked crumbs, and season the mixture with salt and pepper. Last of all, stir In with a few light strokes the stiffened whites. Butter a deep pudding dish, pour the mixture Into this, set It on the lower grating of a quick oven and bake until light and brown. Sift brown crumbs over the top and serve the omelet as soon as It Is removed from the oven. BAKED BANANAS. Strip off one third of the skin of each, and with a silver knife loosen the skin around the fruit. Arrange In a bakingpan with the stripped side uppermost. On each banana place a quarter teaspoonful of butter, sprinkle with one teaspoon of sugar and a half teaspoon of water for each banana, and bake about twenty minutes. A sprinkling of powdered cinnamon Is nice for flavoring. CHICKEN POTPIES. For these have several stoneware or other fireproof deep dishes, about the size of a bird bath. Cut up a young fowl into joints, cover with cold water and cook tender, but not until the meat leaves tho bones. Lay a piece of dark meat and one of light in each dish; sprinkle.with minced salt pork, and drop In each dish potato marbles which have been parboiled for ten minutes. Add small cubes of pastry, three to each dish, and two small young onions, no bigger than the j end of your thumb. T'nloss they are very

Parboil and slice six fine potatoes, fry half a pound of sweet salt pork (chopped) and when It begins to crisp add a minced onion and cook to a light brown. Pack potatoes, pork and onion In a soup kettle, sprinkling each layer with pepper and minced parsley. Add the hot fat: cover with u pint of boiling water and simmer thirty minutes. Turn into a colander and drain the liquor back into the kettle. Have ready a pint of hot milk , Into which has been stirred a tablespoon of butter rolled in flour; add to the liquor, cook one minute, return the potatoes to tiie kettle and serve.

The bread will taste just as well. —A Cranberry Hint— If cranberries are out through the meat chopper before they are cooked they will not have to be strained.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. Hr D*vl<J Tory -

“Helgbo, off I go!" sang Puss Junior to himself as he left the eastlo of my Lord of Carabas. He had gone only a little way when he came to a lowly hut. In the doorway of which stood a woman weeping bitterly "My good woman,” said Puss kindly, i "why do you cry ?” "Alas! my good Sir Cat," she replied, “I have been a foolish mother. I have sent my little son, Tom Thnmh, to King Arthur’s Court, and I fear I may never j see Mm again.” “Ah!” cried Puss. "I will lose no time.” On arriving at the palace he found everything In confusion. It seems that poor little Tom Thumb bad fallen into some dough which the royal baker was about to make Into cakes. This had so enraged him that he had gone to King Arthur and told him thnt Tom had tried to spoil the dough. On hearing this the ' King had ordered Tom to he beheaded, j "Where is Tom Thumb?” Tubs de- ! manded, fiercely. The retainer laughed I very loudly nt this, but thinking It a i huge Joke, went and told King Arthur | "Bring the cat to me!” cried the King lin a rage. But Puss was not frightened, jHe walked boldly up to where King Arthur silt, and, bowing very low, said In a firm voice: “My good King Arthur rules this land With justice and n generous hand. Far be It that a eat should plead That little Tom Thumb should he freed!" “A poet in the disguise of a cat.” laughed King Arthur, his rage changing to humor, “Go, Sir Cat, and free the Midget Tom.” So Puss was nt once led to the baker, who he found had Imprisoned poor Tom In a mouse trap. “Come with me,” said Tubs, on releasing the little fellow, "be my comrade on my Journey of adventure.” King Arthur and his court bid them farewell. Many of tho retainers could hardly restrain their laughter, for it was Indeed a comical sight to sen Tom Thumb perched on Puss Junior's shoulders. As they passed through the great gntos Puss was handed a beautiful sword. "The good King Arthur bade me give It to you,” cried the retainer. | "Convey my thanks to His Majesty,” | replied Puss, and continued on his way. | “Whither are you going. Puss Junior?” ! inquired Tom Thumb, after they had gone some distance. “I iio not know,” replied Puss Junior. “But ns tho road is hot and dusty, let us turn Into yonder forest." They had no sooner entered than they hoard the strains of sweet music. Presently numerous fairies appeared, and one, more beautiful than the rest., waved \ her little wand. I “Listen well.” cried the Fairy Queen, j when every one was seated about her, with Puss Junior and Tom Thumb close to her side, “listen, my two brave travelers. Not. far from here stands a tall tower, In which a wicked witch has Imprisoned a lovely maiden. "Every evening she lets down her beautiful hair, which Is wonderfully long and

as fine as spun gold. Indeed, it looks much like a golden ladder reaching from her small tower window to the ground -beneath.” “Do you wish us to climb this beautiful ladder?” asked Puss and .
