THE STATE is being urged to investigate the so-called Standard Oil Trust. Boy, page Judge Landis. SOME call it a 6-5-3 ratio and others a 10-10-6 ratio. These international differences are serious sometimes. THE SOVIET government is said to have agreed to meet the demands of the United States, but -who can depend on the agreement of the soviet government? EUHU ROOT is responsible for the disarmament conference, according to James E. Watson. What has become of the senatorial “cabal" that was going to give President Harding credit for everything? Speed Up City Planning! While no one believes that the business of remak ; ng the map of Indianapolis and plotting the lines along which the city shall grow is a job which should move with express speed, the need for the city plan commission to hasten the day when it actually is functioning becomes more apparent every day. Creation of the commission so far, rather than solving on® of the chief problems it was designed to eliminate, has only made it more acute. One of the things which every citizen who has invested his savings in a home devoutly hopes the commission will be able to accomplish is the creation of zones where industrial enterprises will be located and others where a man may build his home without fear that, an Icehouse, coal yard, filling station. foundry or soap works will be erected next door. This is one of the things which the commission will have the power to do when it makes its surveys and gets the city council to pass the kind of a zoning ordinance it desires. Knowing this, those persons who desire to locate businesses which very likely will be restricted when the commission starts zoning, are engaged in a grand rush to get under the wire before It is too late, according to one of the members of the commission. Two or three pieces of hastily constructed legislation have been rushed through the city council in efforts to stem the tide of filling stations and factories overflowing into good residence districts and another is pending. Residents of the Spades Park community, who are much concerned over the location of a factory at Massachusetts avenue and Steele street, have appealed to the council to pass an ordinance prohibiting the construction of any building for manufacturing purposes within 500 feet of any block abutting park property. The council, very wisely, has referred the ordinance to the plan commission for an opinion—it being impossible for the commission legally to give more than an opinion—to be reported to the council next Monday evening. It now is six months since the law authorizing the creation of city plan commissions became operative. It is the hope of every home owner that the commission will delay the use of Its tremendous power for good no longer than is absolutely necessary In the interests of sound progress.

Agreements and the Constitution Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge's marked opposition to a “nonconstitutional" entente between the United States and foreign powers, as enunciated in an address at Franklin last night, can be construed as nothing else than a warning to President Harding that he is going to find his path beset by rocks strewn by prominent members of his own party if he persists in leading the United States into such a “gentleman’3 agreement” as his proposed “Association of Nations” promises to be. While the former Senator did not specifically mention the nebuloss “association.” he denounced in emphatic terms all international “agreements,” “understandings” and “ententes” as “non-constitutional,” and charged that they “flagrantly violate the spirit of the Constitution, leaving no doubt that he would be found In violent opposition to any compact that seeks to bind us through ignoring the treaty making powers of the United States. Significance is added to his remarks because he is generally regarded as a potential candidate to succeed Harry S. New in the Senate. Mr. Beveridge takes the position that any compact reached between this country and a foreign power that is not reduced to writing and ratified by two-thirds of the Senate is extra-constitutional and is not legal or binding. The former Senator’s remarks probably will not set well with those partisans who are blindly following the Washington Administration in all of its moves, but they are bound to create a profound impression among thinkers who are looking with a good deal of skepticism on the international diplomacy of the Harding regime. A Tactical Blunder Skillful diplomacy will be required to steer the armament conference past Hie ever-increasing pitfalls and to the success which the world Js so earnestly hoping for. Splendid progress, the result of frank discussions, has marked the parley so far, but there is a vast gap between “acceptance in principle” and actual agreement to lay aside the manufacture of implements of war for the next ten years. Unless some unforseen contingency arises a concord will be concluded, but it will not be until after some of the international jealousies and rivalries have been placated and until racial aspirations have been satisfied, that the hopes will be realized. Already sharp differences have cropped out and it will require a master hand to convoy the Hughes program through the intricate maze and have it accepted unqualifiedly as the basis for disarmament. One wholesome spectacle that stands clearly forth is the unison in which America and England are working for the acceptance of the naval holiday. The astute Japanese statesmen threaten discord by their stand for a higher naval ratio which, if granted, would seriously jeopardize the success of the whole undertaking. Unless the injection of the Chinese question into the parley gives Japan a trading basis it is probable, however, that the adamant stand of the United States for the Hughes program will in the end force the Nipponese to agree. Another element of danger is the acute differences of France and England over the size of the French army and here again national aspirations are clashing. France, fearing a rejuvenated Germany, feels that for a secure future she must maintain the largest standing army l n Europe. England, with her army scattered to the far ends of the earth and hoping for a revitalized mercantile Germany, sees in a military France the ogre that will keep Germany bankrupt. France already has offered to cut her army down, but the half million she proposes to retain is still disproportionate to her safety needs, especially when England is proposing a startling reduction of her navy'. With French and Japanese policies still to be reconciled with those of the United States and England, it is indeed a herculean task that confronts the conferees. While the statesmen were struggling to compose thesfe vital phases President Harding injected anew cause for discussion and probably actual dissension when he proposed to make the conference the basis for his long discussed “Association of Nations,” and allowed the impression to go out that it would in time supplant the League of Nations. It was a tactical blunder that should not have been made at this time. All of the nations represented at Washington are signatories to the League of Nations, save the United States, and the pact has been pronounced a success. For the man who conceived and executed the disarmament conference to give vent to the thought that he was ready to scrap the League of Nations in favor of a "gentlemen's agreement,” has thrown political Europe into a clamor which is bound to be reflected in the decisions at the arms parley. It has already drawn a rebuke from Balfour, who blandly denied that the world wanted “two leagues of nations,” and it has introduced an extraneous subject into discussions that, for the time being, should have been solely confined to the problem of reducing to a minimum the potential danger of war growing out of huge naval and military armaments.

' said Helen. “He stayed after school to help his teacher with some reports and | he won't be home till just before din | ner." I “Very well." said Mrs. Hooper, "so j long as I knovr where he Is it is all right j and we will be able to plan for your ; party perhaps better when he isn't here. "Pm very- sure we can.” said Helen, "he always makes fun of everything and he says this is only a children's party and is of no consequence anyhow. “Well, we will just show him," said the Bride, encouragingly. “How many are vou inviting?” I “Twelve," said Helen with sudden inI reresf -i have their names all written i down here.” "How do you intend to invite them i inquired the Bride. “Will you telephone land ask them or do you intend to write ; raf'h on* 4 of t h*ni a not* 4 ? ! “Well. Id hat* to write twelve notes.’* I said Helen, dubiously, “but of course it i looks much grander to have written in - I vitafions. 1 "[ don't think that will be necessary. I Helen." interrupted her mother. “I'll Just telephone to the mothers tomorrow and ask them to let the girls come over on Saturday for a little party." "Well that doesn't sound very stylish." objected Helen. "Oh wo don't want to make it stylish Helen, we want to make it pleasant for your little friends." answered her mother .as she gave the Bride her cup of tea. "There is absolutely no sense ln adding to the expense of your party by having things that are not really "necessary.” ••But it wouldn't cost so much more ; would it?" asked the Bride, seeing | Helen's point of view in wanting to j make the affair appear really like n ' party. “There would only be stationery and stamps and the time it would take | to write the notes." j “But even that little might be added !to the refreshments or decorations or : something." insisted Mrs. Hooper, “and ; besides I don't want it to seem anything i so formal as to noed written invitations." “But Alice Briggs had nice tittle cards | with the invitation printed on for her j party,” Helen reminded her mother, “anil : every one thought they were lovely." "Weil they seem not to have added anything to the pleasure of those who went to the party if your report of it was true.” her mother returned a bit severely. "1 guess your mother is right Helen." said the Bride veering around and siding with Mrs. Hooper. “We had better put all our efforts on plans for the party itself ami have her do as she says and 1 telephone the invitations. I'll help you with the decorations if you'll come over after school tomorrow, we can take care i of those so that your mother won't have j to think about that part of it." 'I want everything pink," suggested | Helen. I “All right, wo can have everything pink, isn't wc, Mrs. Hooper?" asked the Bride. “That will bo perfectly all right and j I'll make the refreshments as pink as j possltle to match," said Mrs Hooper. “Well, you take care of what they are i to have to eat." the Bride went on, “and | Helen find I will plan the other things ! without running up your expense account ‘ too terribly.” j “Shall we have games?" asked Helen, j “Oh, by ail means." answered the Bride, i “that is my Idea of a good time at a | party I know several that I will tel! Helen about and she probably knows several herself." “It will be much better if all the games rould bo surprises,” said Helen, “so we had better have the ones you know and they will be new to the rest of the girls as well as to me.” “Now, we have decided on the number and the names of those who are coming to the party,” said the Bride, taking a pencil and note book out. of her bag and writing these items down, “then the decorations and the games and j your mother will plan the menu. Is there anything else? It's a birthday party. Isn’t it?” “Yes. but we are not saying anything about that.” said Mrs. Hooper hastily; I “because I don't want the children to bring any presents." “Oh, I see.” remarked the Bride, looking at Helen n Lit sympathetically ns if site thought Mrs. Hooper were taking Just ns much Joy out of the party ns was possible and still leave it a party." j “I didn't like that a bit at tlrßt,” said Helen, “but I fee! better about it now. i No one would give me anything I wanted [ anyhow, and I might have to like some g'.r'. better than I wanted to because she'd given me a present, so I guess mother's way is best after all.” This wasn’t quite the conclusion Mrs. Hooper had intended Helen to come to because of her ruling about birthday presents, but she let it go for the moment without further comment.

It would be as fascinating as u novel, for It. would have all the human emotions, tragedies aid comedies, all of the scandal and gossip of history. Now here is a dress that I tun sure Is medieval. I can almost smell the musty damp of an ohl and moated castle, hear tho clash of armor, even feel the leisure and the slower pulse of life. The frock is of a dull brown duvetyn, suggestive of soft and beautiful old leather. It has the square neek that was universal in the middle ages, tho sleeves are straight and flowing and are simply embroidered in dull gold thread in a conventional pattern. The same dull gold embroidery is repeated about the neck. Not too long, straight and full as to skirt, the bodice a little pulled In. too, tiy the severely simple girdle of two strands of dull gold cord that is bound about the waist. This -frock is not the first suggestion I have seen of the medieval. All of the frocks embodying it have been particularly graceful and charming, almost as artistically perfect as the Greek.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory

When Puss Junior and Tom Thumb reached the tower in the enchanted forest they hid themselves in a thicket close by, and pretty soon they heard a voice crying : “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down thy hair." Through the thicket Puss could see an old women with a high, peaked hat standing at the foot of the tower. “Tom,” he whispered, “do you see the ladder of beautiful golden hair?’’ “Not yet,” replied Tom Thumb. And then the old women called out again: “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down thy hair.” “The wicked witch is angry," whispered Tom, and prhaps she would have flown into a dreadful rage if, all of a sudden. Rapttnzel's braided tresses hadn't dropped at her feet. And then, quick as a wink, she climbed up the golden ladder. “Let's wait here until she comes down," said Puss. “I am not fond of witches, nor would 1 like to be suddenly changed into a human.’’ “N"or would I like to be changed into an animal.” cried little Tom Thumb. “We had better stay here until she goes away." At last they saw her slowly slimbing down the golden ladder. “Now draw up thy tresses. Rapunzel," she called out when she reached the foot of the tower, and there she stayed until Rapunzel had obeyed her command. “Now, my brnve Tom Thumb,” cried Puss ns soon as the wicked enchantress had disappeared in the forest, “lei us see what we can-do," and together they ran toward the tower, and then Tom Thumb called out, "Rapunzel. Rapunzel, let down thy hair,” and at once the beautiful hair fell down. So Puss and Tom Thumb climbed up as fast as possible, nnd when they bad reached the window-sill they jumped into the room. Rapunzel asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? And what brings you here?” “To set you free." cried Puss and Tom Thumb in the same breath, put before she had time to answer the voice of the enchantress was heard calling, “Rapunzel, let down thy hair.” "We are lost." cried Tom Thumb. “Not while I have my trusty sword," cried Puss, bravely. “Your sword, dear, brave Puss Junior. Is useless against th enchantress," said Rapunzel. “Hide yourselves in rny closet. Be quick!" So they jumped Into the closet, and Just in time, for Rapunzel had already let down her hair, and In a moment the wicked enchantress stepped Into the room. - Copyright. 1921, (To Be Continued.)

WILSON LEAGUE IDEA WILL NOT REMAIN BURIED (Continued From Page One.) clattering to the front-page Billy Sunday. Must this effort fail and the world go back to fortified frontiers and outposts of hate? Is Bernard Shaw right? He says that tho nearest dogfight tells us that war will never end. We do not all think so. My father told me that in the forties he witnessed a scene in the old New York Hotel, at Broadway near Waverly Place, then the leading hotel of New York. A gentleman sitting quietly at his dinner was attacked by another who threw a glass of claret over the quiet one. No challenge followed —no duel, and because of his failure to resent the insult from a drunkard in the manner the fashion of the tiny demanded, because this quiet gentleman did not think it necessary to risk his life before the pistol of a noted duelist, he was ostracized, boycotted, sent to Coventry anti compelled to leave society and New York. IT IS POSSIBLE TO ABOLISH AVAR? He can progress—we have progressed since that day—private war has been abolished—can we do away with public war ? Have the thousands of martyrs of re ligion and democracy died in vain? The corpses of the fallen in this great war placed head to heel would reach around the world. When H. G. Wells, the Great British novelist, came to this country to write of the conference, Ralph Pulitzer gave him a dinner. There were there those literary and those financial and those political. YVhen Wells rose to address them he spoke in a most pessimistic vein —“We are all," said he. “on a sinking ship and all our present life and civilization in danger of foundering." It was refreshing to see the other guests headed by young Chauncey Depew (only 87> rise, one by one, and cry out the gospel of optimism. Even the tactful speech or Max Eastman, the revolutionist, was tinged with the colors of the rainbow. We in America are invincible in our optimism. The Hbip on which we are embarked shall not sink. No. we will load the old ship with good wishes and ideals and help and hope and sail it, a reller ship of imagination into every port of the world.—Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.
