IT IS RATHER HARD to determine whether Parley P. Christensen was interviewing Lenin or himself in that dispatch from Riga. The Real Reasons The public is becoming extremely tired of legislative blundering * nd it behooves those who are drafting the bill for the removal of the refcrmato.j preparatory to presenting it at the special session of the Legislature to exercise extreme care in making it intelligent and workable. There are Increasing indications of opposition to the plans of the Governor and the removal commission to rush through a measure which would mean placing the institution in some locality other than Putnamville, but at the same time near the center of the State. From Putnamville itself comes a statement from Representative Willis E. Gill, in which he reviews the reasons made public by the removal commission for not placing the institution in Putnam County and in which he seeks to show the fallacy of those reasons. Mr. Gill sets out the stock objections that the reformatory and the State farm should not be combined, that there is not sufficient w ater in Putnamville, that there are no facilities for sewage disposal, and so on. These are all plausible reasons, but they are far from being all the reasons or even the real reasons why the reformatory was not moved under the act of the 1921 Legislature. There are two very real reasons which are more important than any of those enumerated by Mr. Gill. The first is the fact that the Legislature appropriated only $300,000 for the purchase of land and the construction of anew reformatory. This is an elementary reason and the weakness of this provision of the bill could be seen by any one who took the trouble to think about it. It was obvious to the commission and to every one else that a reformatory could not be constructed for this amount of money. What those persons who drafted the bill meat t by making such a provision has never been explained. The second very real reason why the reformatory was not moved in compliance with the law, which stated specifically that it should be re- j moved to Putnamville, Putnam County, Indiana," was the fact that the officials and the alumni of De Pauw University at Greencastle objected. Perhaps the Legislature and the persons who drafted the bill could not be expected to foresee this, but certainly Mr. Gill and Senator Estes Duncan of Putnam County could have known the facts if they had kept in touch ; with their constituents. De Pauw University let the removal commission know that if it went ahead injunction proceedings would be instituted. W hile the proceedings might not have been successful, the administration and the removal commission would have been opposed by a powerful group of citizens such as no public official would care to have opposing him. These are the real reasons for the failure to carry out the removal act. In passing anew bill the Legislature should use its respective heads and guard against any such muddle in the future. Roads and Trucks Consideration of the road as a commercial enterprise gives greater scope to the possibilities of highway construction and at the same time adds to its problems. These facts were strikingly brought out in the consideration of transportation problems at the joint meeting of delegates to the convention of the Indiana Transfer and Warehousemen’s Association and the State highway commission. The trs „sfer men look upon the highway first as a commercial artery and second as a pleasure drive. The average citizen who drives his pleasure car over smooth surface roads seldom stops to consider their commercial possibilities and the commercial necessity of roads. This, in the opinion of the transfer men. is the trouble with the road building system. The transfer men demand that more hard surface roads be built and that they be constructed so they will bear up under heavy loads. The highway commission and others object that this will mean higher taxes. The transfer men answer that it will mean better transportation and that better transportation will mean more profits so that higher taxes will be justified. Os course, better roads means the expenditure of more money. The whole thing revolves around the question of where the money is coming •from. Should the truck man bear a large part of the burden? He says -he is willing to pay part of the expenses, but contends that he should not. bear an exceptionally large part. This is answered by the statement that he is the man who is to make a profit from the roads. The truck man replies to this that, while he may be the man who is to make a profit, he most certainly must pass the cost of operation represented by taxation hack to the man for whom he does the hauling and that this man might just as well pay the tax in the first place. Such a discussion might go on forever, but at the same time it is no idle one. Motor transportation is becoming a commercial factor and as such it must be taken care of. The manner in which facilities for this transportation are to be financed must b 6 determined. The Legislature in the not far distant future will have the job of doing this very thing, for present provisions seem to be inadequate and seem to be unsatisfactory to nearly everybody concerned. No Arming in Secret One of the sane proposals for the elimination of future wars which has been introduced at the armament conference is one evolved by a munitions manufacturer and presented to the delegates by a woman, Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird, a member of the American advisory commission. It calls for the investiture of an international commission with the power to supervise the development ofr all devices, explosives, aerial, mechanical. chemical or otherwise that might be used in war and the further proviso that all signatory governments should make the secret or private manufacture of munitions of warfare illegal. If this were followed out each nation would know exactly what armament the other fellow has and there would be no dreaded secret inventions, such as the Germans unfolded at Liege or like the giant gun that hurled shells into Paris from a distance of seventy miles. The cards would be on the table and there would be no arming in the dark and no waiting for the opportune moment to strike. And that international commission probably wculd function as well, or better, under the existing League of Nations as it would under the nebulous Association of Nations. v l

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 Dally Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved oy working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them dally In an Interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.} SATURDAY. “How are the plans coming on for Helen’s birthday party?’’ asked Mr. Hooper, after the children had gone upstairs to bed. “Oh, very well indeed,’’ said Mrs. Hooper, “all of the girls she invited are coming next Saturday from 2 till 6. There will be twelve of them, and they will play games and have some charades and then I will give them some light refreshments before they go home.” “Shall each one of us given her a little birthday present?" asked Henry, “or shall be buy her one thing and have it come from us all?” “Oh. each one of us will give her something,” replied Mrs. Hooper, “it will be much more fun for her to have several little things from each one of us. Roger has some money that he has earned for the last few weeks by helping his science teacher with some laboratory work after school, and I know- that he intends to buy her something, but I don't know what he had in mind. He hasn’t said anything to me about It." “X know what she wants, then.” said Henry, “and I think I’ll go shopping for it before I come home this afternoon.” “I suppose it is something to wear,” laughed Mrs. Hooper. "Helen usually confides in you when she has any special longing for something new In the way of clothes, because she finds you have more sympathy for her notions than I have." “Well, it isn't exactly something to wear and I’m not going to tell what It is," Bald Henry as he went toward the front door, “but she has expressed a wish several times to own one of her own.” “Like her Auntie Belle’s, I suppose,” added Mrs. Hooper slyly. Henry laughed, “Well, yes, she did say that she wished she had one like Belle's, but of course I won't get her anything nearly as expensive as that." “I won't try to guess what It is," said Mrs. Hooper. "The surprises will be as much fun for the rest of us as they wT!I be for Helen." “Oh, by the way, Mary," said Mr. Hooper as he started down the front stairs, "I met Mr. Allen in the city yesterday—l so got to tell you. He and his little daughter are sailing for Europe lr. the middle of the mouth to spend Christmas with Mrs. Allen, but he expects to be back in Mayfield in plenty of time next year, so we can have another garden party at his place on the Fourth of July." “It is too bad he doesn't spend more time in Mayfield," observed Mrs. Hooper. "Men like Mr. Allen are so needed in a small town.” “He spoke as if the family intended to settle down here and give up their elty house when they returned from Europe.” said Henry, “but he asked particularly for you and Helen. I told him Telen was having a party next Saturday and said I wished his little daughter might come down to It.” “What did he say?” inquired Mra. Hooper. “He seemed awfully pleased at the Idea that she was Invited," answered Henry, "but be said she was in boarding school and that they wer esailing so soon he didn't believe they could manage it." “Well, I'm glad you thought lo ask her," said Mrs. Hooper, “because they were certainly very kind to us and he made so much of Helen at the garden party.” "Yes, I remember that," said Henry. “I think I shall go in town this afternoon If I can get mother to come

By AGNES AYRES, Star In Paramount Picture*. Next to the übiquitous three-piece suit in favor comes tho coat dress. Made of cloth, long In tno sleeves, somewhat lon ger In the skirt and often high necked, ii is just the thing for the street these first cool days of autumn. And if it. is an extra cool day, the addition of a fur will make it entirely practical and eveD better looking. The coat dress in the sketch is from one of the best American tailors and has several of tho marked style tendencies. The sleeves are long, flaring, a little slit and elaborately trimmed, as are the majority of tho new sleeves. It seems to l)e an unwritten law that tile fall bodice shall be almost severely plain, while the fall skirt and sleeves are a lot of detail and trimming. This mode Is followed in our skirt with its bands of heavy black silk embroidery. The semi-circles of embroidery are partially open work, with a shimmer of black satin showing through. The blouse has a high neck In back, with a V In the front, and that, too, is an Important point, the most of the low necks being either n V, that comes first, or else the straight across line that maybe either Japanese or Greek. Girdles are a most important detail of tho fall modo, the Stench designers putting them low about our hips, almost sleeve length, in fact, to cajole us in the matter of longer and fuller skirts. You see, If the frock is cut In two equal parts, making the blouse much longer, we are half inclined with the idea that our skirts are still short. The skirt In the sketch is a true circular as well, and 1 predict that we will be captivated by its full and rippling folds, so that by spring it will be familiar instead of startling.

mixture at a, time. Shape with doughnut cutter and fry in deep fat; which must be kept of uniform temperature. (Rule for testing fat is forty seconds for cooked material such as croquettes, oysters, etc., and sixty seconds for doughnuts and any uncooked food.) The doughnuts must come quickly to the top brown, be turned and brown on the other side. WALDORF SALAD. Use equal quantities of finely chopped apples and crisp celery, mixed with onethird as many chopped nut meats. Moisten with a mayonnaise dressing. Serve in cups made of red apples, by removing a piece from the top, and scooping out the center. Garnish with curled celery. Lemon juice will keep the aples from discoloring. HELPFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS. WASHED GASOLINE. Wash the gasoline before using it to remove spots from garments and there will be no more unsightly circles such as are often seen after the cleansing process is complete with the unwashed gasoline. Put the required amount of gasoline in a glass Jar and add an equal amount ; of soapy water, then shake thoroughly; j let stand a few minutes and the dirt j | and water will settle to the bottom of the j Jar, leaving the gasoline on top. Turn j | off the gasoline and it Is ready for use. | IMPROVING HOUSE PLANTS. | Sprinkle house plants with water from i ice box drain. See how green they keep.

Br Datld Cory ————— j For a long time Fuss and his com- ! panions continued their Journey, and by , and by they came to the edge of the forI est, where a great desert stretched out I before them as far as the eye could reach. J The poor blind Prince, although he j could not see the burning sands, felt the | hot wind that blew toward him. "Where ! are we?" he asked. “On the edge of a desert, your high 1 ness," replied Puss Junior. The Prince j made no reply, but stood for some time In deep thought. Tom Thumb, suddenly j shouted. "I see three camels! Let us j wait. I’rhaps they will carry us across; this sandy sea, for they are the ships ot ! the desert." Well, by and by the three camels stopped and knelt down on the sand. So Puss Junior helped the blind Prince to mount, for, strange to say, each animal was saddled after the fashion of the desert. Poor little Tom Thumb had great trouble in mounting his beast, for he could hardly see over its lioof. to sny nothing of its great body. Puss lifted him up as high as he could, and j then Tom took hold of a strap and drew j himself onto the saddle. Then, as soon ] ns Puss was ready, the camels rose to I their feet and set off across the desert at a good puce. "Hurrah! 1 never was on a camel be-, fore!" cried Tom Tnuiub. "I once rode a beautiful butterfly. But I never : though I would ride one of these ships : of the desert." Well, by and by they | came to a bubbling spring and green grass. And then all of a sudden to their, surprise a maiden came toward them, and j when she saw the Prince she gave a loud ! cry and ran forward. And then the Prince gave a shout of Joy. "Rapunzellj Rapunzel 1” he cried, and the next minute she was folded In bis arms. And Rn-, punzei was so happy at finding her Prince she cried for very Joy. and when her tears touched bis blind eyes they grew clear again, and he could see as well as ever. Then he placed her 'iron his j . amel, and inviting Puss and Pom to go with him. led the way to his castle,, which they reached safely that very ; evening.—Copyright. 1921. To be Continued.)

Trails Salvation Army to Observe Its Good Work Mabel Wheeler Gets New Idea of Community Chest Service in Trip About City .

BY MABEL WHEELER. As I strolled over, up and down the downtown streets, sorta lazily wondering If folk had nothing to do but ride in automobiles ard Christmas shop, the i Salvation Army wagon wont past me with Its load ot paner, etc. , “Wonder where those papers go" thought I, “from where to where and why? Believe I'll find out,” and 1 did that very thing. I wended my leisurely way over to the Grand Army citadel on South Capitol avenue, sleuthed around until I discovered Brigadier George F. easier in his private office where I sank into a vacant chair prepared to have a little chat as to the wheres and whyfores of the collected magazines and papers. TRAGEDIES OF DAILY LIFE PKEVAI.ED. He was dictating a letter as I entered and stopped for a moment to greet me, then handed me the note he had received which he was answering. It was Just one of those dally tragedies that we 1 read in the papers and cast aside after | reading, the girl of n fine good country pastor who had slipped from the j straight and narrow path, and the Salvation Army was asked to help in caring for her and keep the matter from becoming public. And just as I finished reading that, the stenographer came in with another letter asking that the array find a missing lad who had disappeared from home, and right on top of that the tele- j phone rang with an emergency call for j relief and I glanced out of the window J to see a half dozen shabbily- dressed peo- | pie going down the steps Into the basement, supposedly for food, and a feeble j old woman accompanied by a one-legged | man coming out carrying a basket of provisions. "Do you mean to tell me that they just go in and get food without being iden- ! tified or anything?" exclaimed I to the - brigadier. "We give help to anybody that needs j it and then investigate to see whether ! it is a worthy- case or not: it’s better \ to feed a half dozen unworthy ones than ; to lot one needy one suffer," he answered kindly. And then he told me what became of j my papers, in fact, showed me where they went, took me through the Army storehouse, showed me the boxes of stockings ready to hand out to bare- ! legged, shivering little waifs. I saw the Ye TOWNE GOSSIP Copyright, 1931. by Star Company. By K. C.

• line waiting in the relief station, hungry, I hollow-eyed people who waited their turn quietly, and just as we were leaving the food storage where beans, rice, coffee and sugar are kept in great quantities the relief worker said that she had a number of call to make and Mr. easier said: “IVe'll just drive around now and make ’em.” And we did, me tagging along, not dreaming of what was before me. The first home we visited was a decided eye-opener. There were seven children in the family-, the father was just j home from the hospital, having been j unable to work for many weeks; the oldest girl was but 14 and was over at the Harley Gibbs settlement house, which Is one of the Salvation Army posts, doing the family washing, and after school hours helping the Army workers. The baijy was not a year old and It was just a shadow of a child, blue and bigeyed, having just been brought home from the hospital In the morning. The family has been kept, is kept and will l continue to be kept by the Salvation ! Army- until the father has work. There ! is not a cent in the family purse, food. . house rent, clothing and coal must be supplied. The girl when she came to the Army's notice was considered lnI corrigible, but under the influence of the settlement workers had developed into an industrious, happy-dispositionod, real girl, and when we stopped at the Harley Gibbs house on our way in we heard her j singing as she strenuously rubbed the ! clothes. FAMILY OF FIVE LIVES IN ONE ROOM. Our second visit was with a family of five. The father and mother are comparatively young people, but the man had blood poisoning and has just come from the hospital, but will jot be able to walk for several more weeks, the mother Is ill and unable to be on her feet any length of time. The oldest child Is 6, the baby almost 2. The former has been sent home from school on account of her physical condition and she is almost blind. They are living in a dark rooili without fresh air or sunshine, eating and sleeping in the same atmosphere. They have no way to get their provisions, but have to depend on the relief worker bringing them food, which she does regularly. She not only fakes them food, but she takes a “whole heap” of good cheer with her, for the faces of the couple fairly beamed when she greeted them. It is the first time in eleven years of his working life that the man has been unable to work, but the savings he had accumulated were all spent on hospital bills and the family is absolutely destitute. The children talked about Santa Glaus and the mother’s eyes filled with tears, when the little piri lisped, shaking her curly head emphatically, “Thanta Claush ith coming to see Dorothy Mae.” And she is right, there’ll be a Christmas for the little folk, for that’s another feature of the Salvation work of the Army, Christmas for the children. We made a flitting call on a mother who had been bedfast for several weeks, whose husband has been out of work for weeks and who is walking the efreets looking for a Job now. She has a S-year-old daughter who looks like a big doll, blue-eyed, curly haired, with twinkling dimples. The mother said that Jane Anne has been heartbroken the last few days because she wants a doll, and has cried bit- i terly at nights because she hasn’t a baby ' to rock to sleep. There is no donbt but what a doll will make Us appearance In that home before many moons. NEVER ASSUME ROLE OF BENEFACTOR. There were others, sorbid, pathetle cases that are an every day part of the relief worker's lob. And the gTeat beauty of the charity work is that the brighteyed relief worker whom T traveled with and the sturdy brigadier never for a moment assnmed the role of benefactor: they were Just friends, kindly interested friends dropping in to call, surreptitionaly leaving n basket. And wo who complacently pat ourselves on tho back when we send our dollar to the Rod C i and drop cur niokel Into some blind man's tincup congratulating ourselves on our free-handedness In these times of the H. C. L.. and feel that we’re done our bit, we’d better look aronnd our city, take a little trip with the Army workers or some other relief agents, and then contribute to the Community Chest, the bndget for which has been set at $665,412.92, the drive to be conducted IVc. 12-19. The amount out of the chest for tho Salvation Army is set at $20,000, and there are thirty-nine other worthy charitable institutions included in the budget. As the Christmas season draws near do not forget that, while you are fretting because taxes are so high and gasoline and the upkeep of your car a strain on your finances, there are hundreds of folk who are fretting because their children need medical attention and there is no money, and because their babies need milk, clothes and a warm house.

Says He Doesn’t Know Who Sent ‘Auto Parts’ to The Times. KOKOMO. Ind., Dec. 3.—Attorneys for H. H. Grites, Victory manager for the Apperson Brothers Automobile Company, were scouting a frame-up theory today in connection with discovery of two quarts of whisky addressed to him by express. The package was labeled “auto parts.” J. M’. .Teroloman, deputy revenue collector, arrested Grites on a charge of violating the prohibition laws and the defendant will be tried late today.
