IT IS NEARLY TIME Senator Watson of Georgia is called on to prove his charges. ONE GOOD THING about that council presidency contest is that there are only six possibilities. WHY SHOULDN’T the dairy show be brought to Indianapolis? Everything else of that nature is. THE WORLD will breathe a sigh of relief If that Irisli-British peace agreement really proves effective. THOSE PERSONS who are taking transcontinental trips without paying railroad fare should keep an eye on the Marines. TAKE THE MONEY that would have gone for something useless for Christmas and divide it between Christmas seals and the Community Chest. THERE ARE bread riots in Berlin, and in America the farmers are frantic for some wav to dispose of their wheat. There should be some method of leveling things up. The President 9 s Message The outstanding feature of the message of President Harding to Congress is his adoption as his of many of the Democratic policies so strongly denounced by himself and his associates only a year ago. Particularly is this true of the President's foreign policy. The message simply indicates the distance the Republican party has traveled from ideas of “splendid isolation,” fostered by so many and not strongly opposed by the President himself, only twelve or thirteen short months ago. This attitude is reflected not only in his reference to the foreign policy in its abstract form but also in his reference to the tariff, which, by the way, also approaches the Democratic Ideas so roundly criticised by those who denounced the Wilson Administration solely to further their own ends. In fact, the President could hardly utter a greater compliment to the late Democratic Administration than he does when he draws away from the old ideas of his party and approaches those to which they were opposed. In expressing his attitude on foreign affairs the President said: "Our tasks would be less difficult if we had only ourselves to consider, but so much of the world was involved, the disordered conditions are so well-nigh universal, even among nations not engaged in actual warfare, that no permanent readjustments can be effected without consideration of our inescapable relationship to world affairs in finance and trade." This is a creditable statement, but President Harding deserves no credit for it. Woodrow Wilson, before him was crucified on a cross of personal ambition and crowned with thorns of repudiation for Just such statements. The President merely shows his good sense In realizing that such an attitude is inevitable if the nation is to survive as a nation among nations. The attitude of the President on the tariff is a distinct departure from the rock-bound traditions of his party that commercial salvation is dependent entirely on a definite and iron-clad protective tariff. “I hope a way will be found to make for flexibility and elasticity, so that rates may be adjusted to meet unusual and changing conditions which cannot be accurately anticipated,” the President said. “I know of no manner In which to effect this flexibility other than the extension of the powers of the tariff commission so that it can adapt itself to a scientific and wholly just administration of the law.” Is this a Republican President talking? If that sort of thing keeps on, where Is the Grand Old Party going to look for an issue in the future? Day after day the President is learning that his will is not law in Congress and he is learning that lesson so well that in his message he almost knelt in supplication, begging for harmony. Encroachments on the functions of Congress and attempted dictation of its policies are not to be thought of, he said. He talks like a man who has had his fingers burned and does not Intend to meddle with fire again. He points out, however, that in foreign affairs the initiative must be with the executive branch cf the Government and he adds the hope that there will be no conflict of opinion about constitutional duties ahd authority! Asa member of the Senate which he was addressing he did not hesitate to add to the conflict of opinion about constitutional duties or authority in times more grave than these. In discussing the situation of the farmers the President evidently was making a strong appeal to the all-powerful agricultural “bloc,” but ho offered littie that was constructive. In fact, in this respect the message was more notable for what it lacked than for what it contained. This is even more true from the point of view of the American Legion and others who are hoping the Government will do something for the exservice men. In only one place were they even mentioned and this only incidentally. In speaking of reclamation the President said: “After each war. until the last, the Government has been enabled to give homes to its returned soldiers and a large part of our settlement and development has attended this generous provision of land for the Nation’s defenders." He does not say what can be done about it this time, and makes no suggestions concerning the ex-service men, not even the disabled. The remainder of the message is made up of vague references to prefb- ( ems confronting the Nation, references that bear the marks of an attempt ic be "safe,” but which accomplish little. Taking the message as a whole, it must be a disappointment to those who tolled in the last presidential campaign, reviling President Wilson and extolling the virtues of the Republican party, the things for which it stood and the things it promised the public It would accomplish.

ry Law Bureau Indicted The declaration of Frederick Van Nuys, United States district attorney, that “six men of the ability of Capt. Thomas E. Halls of the secret service bureau could make Indiana dry in six months,” is a sad indictment of the prohibition enforcement department In this State. It means, in so many words, that the attempt to recruit the prohibition enforcement officers from political favorites has broken down the dry agency and that it is now r only an impotent force drawing a salary from the Government. It is a sad commentary on the enforcement bureau, that nearly every liquor law violation of any magnitude has been brought into Federal Court through the Department of Justice As Mr. Van Nuys remarked, “These cases were all worked up by the splendid, skilled, trained, earnest men of the bureau of investigation of the Department of Justice and we had no trouble in getting convictions.” With the State courts failing to function in many instances, with the enforcement bureau more intent on finding safe and well paid ber hs for political workers, It is well the Federal Government is represented in Indiana by a Department of Justice that shows no favors and that fears no consequences in impartially administering the law. Irish Peace Welcome The world, which has been repeatedly horrified at the reports of wholesale and indiscriminate killings in Ireland, will hail with joy the agreement which is reported to have been consummated in London between the heads of the British government and the Sinn Fein chiefs. The public outside of the two countries actually engaged in the controversy, and a few enthusiasts who owe allegiance to other countries, is not so much concerned over the actual details of the settlement, as It Is over the fact that peace is near. There is no reason why Ireland and England cannot dwell in harmony and prosper. They have everything in common and the sons of both islands have been pioneers in every important movement achieved by civilization. I They have a rich heritage and the strife that has rent the two isles has [been intolerable, both from their own standpoint and the world at large, j If the agreement is ratified it is to be hoped that both sides will religiously observe it and that there will not be a repetition of the civil warfare that has kept the two countries in a turmoil since before the world t -ar.

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 Dally Times how the many presenl-dar 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.] WEDNESDAY. Mrs. Hooper hurried through her ironies in order to have an extra hour in which to dye the material which she Intended to use to make Betty anew coat. She had carefully tipped and washed the coat that had been Helen’s last winter and which she had really outgrown rather than -worn except on the edges of the sleeves and down the front. It was a soft woolen material of a pale shade of gray which would take very readily the rose colored dye that Mrs. Hooper had decided on, but she knew she would have to be very careful about shrinking the goods because of its loose texture. It had taken her a long time to become really expert in the matter of dyeing, because there had always been the temptation to hurry .lt through instead of following the directions on the package very closely and omitting no detail of tha process, no matter iow unnecessary it might seem to her practical mind. The business of straining the dye through several thicknesses of cheese cloth was so tedious that once or twice she had used the liquid without bothering to go through this routine, but she discovered to her sorrow that there were tiny specks of d.ve all over ihe material when she had finished that she couldn't possibly remove. Another short cut she had once tried to her loss was to dye the goods without washing it and freeing it from every bit of dirt and grease before putting it into the dye bath. Another time she was careless about drying a woolen dress skirt, only to find that after it was dyed it had shrunk several inches and was badly out of shape around the hips. So with these previous accidents to warn her that great care is necessary in order to make dyeing absolutely successful she went about the coloring of the material for Betty’s coat with a determination to follow the printed Instructions on the package of dyo to the letter. She kept an old granite saucepan away on a shelf in the laundry to be used for nothing else but a dye pot and with a long smooth stick for stirring she was Just ready to begin when the telephone rang. On answering she found it was the Bride who inquired what she was doing as she wanted to come over and see her for a few minutes. On hearing that she was engaged in suen an Interesting bit of work as d'eing the Bride had exclaimed: “Oh, I shall run over this ini siant. I want to see how you do It as well as to ask you several questions about Helen's party f(U(l one very Important one that has to do entirely with my own affairs.” In less than five minutes the Bride was hanging her hat and coat on the hook in the laundry and putting on the apron that Mr. Hooper handed her when she in sisted that she had come to help.

Daily Fashion Hints UV.aS; s ' N ' * By AGNES AYRES. Star in Porsunoant Plotr.re*. Fashion, the fickle Jade, told us confidentially that she wax weary into death of fringes, silk or bead or monkey fur—it was all one. Now we realize all over ! again what we should have known when she said lb—that even the confidences of a faccinatlng female are to be taken— ; with reservations. For, Judging by Parisian tkshtons, fringe has been readopted j and as ardently as ever. And with the return of fringe comes a fresh interest in monkey fur, both ! black and white. Nine hats out of ten are trimmed with decorations that drip alluringly off the brim, many with silk or woolen fringe, and this large hat 1n the sketch, with a fringe effect obtained with a plume of black monkey fur. It is a large hat, the very small ha' J having entirely disappeared—large and i picturesque, with an artistically re-j strained curve in its brim.

The French- ; woman Is tiring of plain black, but not quite sure, as yet, what she will substl- j tute for it, so she adds a bit of sil- I ver here and there, while she thinks it over—silver or cut steel on her frocks, brocade on her hats and evening wraps ; and even a little silver embroidery on her : evening slippers.

Mem Y©e May Marry By ETHEL R. PEYSER Has a man like this proposed to you? Bymptoms: An irresistible lover. You met him at a dinner and you thought he loved society. Yet he left the dinner before you did and some other escort took you home. After that he never would call unless you were alone. When you dined out with him he chose the most remote table in the largest hotel. Showers you with flowers and gifts. IN FACT: He gives you everything but socia contacts. Q/j Prescription to his bride: Love the hermit life and schedule your days to / have your life outside of his schedule. Absorb This: H ERM ET-ICALLY SEALED LOVE HAS A DIFFICULT PROGRAM. (Copyright, 1921.)

“There really isn’t anything to help about,” said Mrs. Hooper, “except tlmt I want to dye a pnlr of stockings for Helen at the same.time and you might-do that for me while I’m busy with Betty's coat You can open that other package of dye and get it ready and as soon as I finish boiling tills piece of goods you can have tlie saucepan for the stockings. “Why don't you do it all In one pot and dye Helen’s stockings hie same color?" asked the Bride. "That seems Just the delicious pink color that Helen likes too, so why the extravagance of au extra pot of dye.” "Well the only reason for Helen's dyed stockings at all.” replied Mrs. Hooper. “Is that she has to have a pair to match her red coat, so pink ores would be out of the question. For the economy that you suggest I though' first that I would dye the material for Betty's coat the same shade of red. but It would spoil much of Helen's pleasure in her new coat If I should make Betty s the same color. “That's so,” agreed the Bride, “and It's redly one of the very nice things about you Mrs. Hooper that you consider your children In those little trifles that you could be so arbitrary about if you wanted to.” Mrs. Hooper laughed “No I'm not as indulgent ns you think but I have to docide so many things against Helen's tnclin/it'oiis that whenever It Is possible to indulge her I like to do It. What was It you wanted to ask me about?" “Well first übout Helen's party. We have all the pink crepe paper decorations finished and we want the dining room to ourselves on Saturday morning so that we can arrange the table, and with the exception of putting some flowers in the living-room, I think we won't bother decorating the rest of the house,” answered the Bride. "I'm glad of that,” responded Mrs. Hooper, "and more would seem a bit unnecessary and It makes such a mess to clean up afterward. What else did you want to see me about?” “Well I'm crazy to see the new dress of course and hear about the bargain, but principally I want to tell you that Bob has Just given me money for anew washing machine and I want you to go up to the city with me and pick it out, because l don’t need a big one like yours, but a small one that will fit In the small space we have In our house.” “I'll be glad to do that Monday," said Mrs. Hooper, "If we can't find one in Mayfield.” The menus for the three meals on Thursday are: BREAKFAST Stowed Prunes Cereal Crisped Salt Pork In Cream Gravy Biscuits Coffee LUNCHEON Scrambled Eggs French Toast Preserved Fruit Milk DINNER Noodle Soup Corned Beef Boiled Potatoes Steamed Cabbage Picklod Beets Rice Pudding. —Copyright, 1921.

PUREE OP PEAS. One can marrowfat pens, one and onehnlf teaspoonfuls of sugar, two cups of cold water, two cups of milk, one slice of onion, two tablespoons of butter, two tablespoons of flour, one teaspoon of salt, one-eighth teaspoon of white pepper, onehalf cup of hot cream. Drain pens from their liquor, add cold water and sugar, and cook until tender (about twenty minutes). Run through puree strainer. Place pulp in saucepan and thicken with butter and flour cooked together. Great care must be taken that the mixture does not scorch. Scald milk with onion. Remove onion and add milk to first mixture. Season with salt and pepper Add cream, whipped with a wire wlsk until ingredients are thoroughly blended. If not served immediately, keep hot over hot water. ROAST PORK. Score the skin until the knife touches the meat nnder it. Rub into these lines or squares a mixtures of fine crumbs seasoned with onion Juice, a little grated lemon peel and the Juice of half a lemon, with pepper and salt to taste. Work in well until the stuffing stands out of the cracks. Put into your roaster, with a cupful of hot water tinder it, and

after covering bring quickly to the point at which the water begins to steam. Slacken the h’at then, and cook twentyfive minutes to the pound, basting often with its own gravy. Pour off this gravy twenty minutes after taking the meat up, and set in a bowl of ice to send nil the fat to the top. Greasy pork gravy 19 an offense to the educated palate. Thicken with browned flour. Serve apple sauce with the roast. FRUIT PUDDING. Cream together a cupful of butter and the same quantity of powdered sugar. Bent six egg light and stir them Into the butter and sugar. When thoroughly blended add three cups of prepared flour and the grated peel of two lemons. Have already prepared a half pound of seeded raisins, eight minced tigs and a quarter of a pound of minced citron. M'.c these, dredge them thoroughly with flour and stir Into the batter. Boil In a very large mold for three hours. This Is an excellent pudding and ia a largo one. Lit with hot liquid sauce. FRIED MUSHROOMS. Melt a large spoonful of butter in a frying pan. Peel the mushrooms and cut off their stems, scraping the latter I.ay the mushrooms with their scraped stalks in the frying pan and cook, turning often until done. Serve very hot. Helpful Household Hints Anew way of cooking macaroni or spaghetti: Put into a wire sieve and immerse this into a saucepan of boiling water. In this way the food may be cooked Just as thoroughly and with far less trouble. The sieve need only be lifted out when the food Is done and the water is strained off. The necessity for using the colander Is thus avoided and the food does not stick to the edges of the saucepan. Keeping Olives—When a large bttle or olives is opened and only part of the contents used, the remainder, though left in the brine, become comparatively tasteless. If half an Inch of olive oil is poured on the top and the bottle well corked, the olives will keep their flavor.

Conference Notes by the Observer

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger, WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.—Members of the advisory committee to the American delegation, unbeknown to the general public, are served by a little dally news paper all their own. It keeps them in Incessant and up-to-date touch with all currents of American opinion on conference topics Issued by noon of each day, it contains a comprehensive resume of the news and views of the leading papers of the country of that morning, and sven of the foreign press. Mail arriving at conference headquarters for nil and sundry as-odated with current events in Washington discloses amusing confusion in the mind of American letter writers as to what the name of the conference really is Only a few have leisure and sufficient love of the punctilious to use the official cognomen of “Conference on Limitation of Armament.’ Rear Admiral C. W. Eborle, com mander-ln-chlef of our Pacific fleet, has arrived 1n Washington. Undoubtedly his presence here at this time Is associated with Impending decisions of a naval and strategic nsture affecting our Interests In the Pacific. Admiral Eberle, a Texan, knows a good deal about the Eaßt. PTI-YI, the deposed Manchu boyemperor of China, who will be 18 In February, 1922. may come to the United States for his education. Prominent members of the Chinese Students' Association now In Washington are working to that end. The youth, when dethroned in 1912, as given the right by the repub lie to use tho title of Emperor, but it will vanish with his death. He receives a handsome annuity and adequate protection In a home that formerly was imperial premises in Pekin. Four sons of the late Ytian-Shl-Ks , the Chinese states-

man who attempted to make himself emperor, are students in American colleges at the moment. Washington is pretty wet these conference days for a capital where prohibition has its official citadel. The extraterritorial privileges enjoyed by the foreign delegations are to blame. Some of them are having amazing experiences. One of the unlovely ones, and not uncommon, is the disappearance from evening parties of whole bottles of priceless vintages. Sometimes they vanish from buffet-tables. Often—so it is said—guests conclude Burglarious diplomatic negotiations with servants.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

Bi David Cory ' “Ding, dong I Ding, dong!” tolled the bell for poor Cock Robin's funeral. The cruel Sparrow, with his bow and arrow, had killed the sweetest bird in the whole forest. Puss Junior wiped the tears from his eyes and said: “Who’ll dig his grave?" “I,” said the Owl, “With my spade and shovel I'll dig his grave.” And the great gray Owl, who was to dig the grave for poor Cock Robin, blinked In the morning light as he looked at Tom Thumb, who stood quietly by the side of Puss Junior, and just then a bird dressed in long black feathers flew by. “Who'll be the Parson?" asked Tom Thumb. “I,” said the Rook. “With my little book I’ll be the Parson.” And after that he put on his spectacles and opened his little black book. And pretty soon, with a soft flutter of wings, the Lark fled down and stood nearby. “Who'll be the Clerk?" asked Puss Junior. "I, said the Lark. “If it’s not in the dark, I'll be the clerk.” And after that came the Kite. He was very large and strong. "Poor Cock Robin," saiii I’uss Junior sadly. “Who’ll carry him to his grave?" “I," said the Kite. "If It's not in the night. I'll carry him to the grave." Then came the Linnet and the Dove, who said she'd be chief mourner. And the sweet voiced Thrush, “as she sat in a bush," said, "I'll sing a psalm.” And all the while the deep-toned bell kept mournfully on. "ding, dong, ding, dong,” for the big. kind-hearted Bull was pulling the bell rope. Through the trees a little way off Puss Junior could see him tugging way at the rope, which was fastened to his horns, so that every time he moved his great head the bell swung back and forth. "Ding, dong,” It said, as It swung from the limb of the big oak tree. “Ail the birds of the air Fell a sighing and sobbing. When they heard the bell toll For poor Cock Robin."—Copyright, 1921.

SAYS PUBLIC WILL PUT FOOT DOWN On Undesirable Plays as Evidenced in Past

“The quality of motion picture plays that are to be successful in the future, in America especially, will rest solely with the sentiment of the great theatergoing public,” announces Charles De Long, film editor of the Sacred Films, Incorporated, who are filming fifty-two episodes of the Old Testament, as related in the Bible. "The public wants clean films, the same as clean drama, art, literature, or anything else that goes to make up the various phases of our education, and the world needs the visualization of these things to enable it to learn and progress in this modern age of speed,” he claims. “For Instance, the youth who takes up the vocation of ‘airplane pilot’ and aspires to ride the whirlwind, does not care to trod the dusty paths of learning his father did. And consequently, knowledge for such as he can be more quickly conveyed through It being acted on the motion picture screen, than by the process of reading, which is being more or less neglected by many at this present day. “There is more of a diversion of thought throughout the world at this age than ever before, and it is to be hoped that the mistake of placing the censorship of our dramatic trend in the hands of those who, while honest in their convictions, might blight Its progress along the lines which would discourage f the best that can be brought out of the Industry. will not be made. “If one nas kept pace to any marked degree with the trend of plays and players In the past, one is conversant with the fact that the extreme In many phases of theatrical work has brought oblivion to artists and actors who were otherwise destined to meteoric careers. The fact that these actors or directors went too far, brought the dislike of the public to them and their efforts, with the result that they were censored out of the Industry and became ‘dead’ as far as the public is concerned. “The majority of Americans view the dramatic world as a family affair, and a sent at (he family fireside or family table will not be given to any play, literature or piece of art work that is to lie the means of degrading the morals of our families. Sentiment Is the great progenitor In this regard, and anything that is not accord with the sentiment of our traditions cannot live. ri'BLIC OPINION ALWAYS RULES. “Slowly but surtly the sentiment of the people caused the exit of the saloon, and slowly but surely the unworthy and distasteful parts of the cinema world will fade out, and when the final history of this Industry has been written there will be no unwelcome guest at the family board. 'lf the exhibitor expects to prosper and continue, he must be his own censor, or the public will do it for him, and his reward will be that the box Office receipts do not Justly the showing of his craftsmanship. The hairier in this country against the extreme in undesirableness is the ‘unwritten law,’ which is based on honor and family

We Believe in Indianapolis Gandy Production Thirty-four pounds of candy for every man, woman and child in the city axe produced in Indianapolis each year—eleven million pounds in all. Six candy factories and twenty-five manufacturing retail confectioners are required to produce this great mountain of sweets, and over five million pounds of sugar are used in the process. Confectioners in thirty-five states, who bny Indianapolis-made candies, concede that none but the better class of confections are produced by Indianapolis candy factories supplying the retail trade, and local manufacturing retailers not only ship their wares to candy-lovers in every state in the union, but also to many foreign lands. The candy produced in Indianapolis each year has a retail value in excess of $8,000,000.00. Fletcher American National Bank of INDIANAPOLIS Capital and Surplus. $3,000,000.

honor at that, and back of that u written law is the sentiment of the public Interest, in its most frank and simple interpretation. “Os course, we find in all lines of industry certain individuals who endeavor to prey off the honest efforts of those who have such industry at heart, and are endeavoring to ‘cash in,’ as it were, on someone else’s thunder, and for a time by engaging an avalanche of propaganda, keep their ship afloat. In cases like this it is the duty of the industry to rise and eject such parasites. “The cinema Industry is very young and It has many things yet to learn, but it is going forward with leaps and bounds. Its educational value cannot be likened to anything else in modern educational facilities, and with its purpose well in hand, the fosterers of cinema will boost it to the niche in fame gnd fortune that is reserved for it. “Filming the Bible is anew departure in cinema and the responsibility for correctness and authenticity is greater in this case than in that of any other class of film shown today. The editing or cutting must be handled with the greatest care,” he states. -I- -|- -I----ON VIEW TODAY. The following attractions are on view today: "Quo Vadis” at English’s; Bert Errol at B. F.

The New Boyce Building The New York Ad Club News publishes the following in Its issue of Dec. 1: Things must be looking up In the publishing business, at least, that Is true of one well known publisher, because he is proving both his present prosperity and his optimistic outlook on the future by an undertaking that speaks for itself. We have in mind the W. D. Boyce Cos., publisher, who is showing its faith in the future by the erection of a twelvestory office bnilindg at the corner of Dearborn and Illinois streets in Chicago. This is to be the home of the three publications, published at Chicago, the Saturday Blade, Chicago Ledger and Lone Scout. . , The new building is surpassed in size only by the Wrigley building, on the north side, and will be known as “Boyce Building, North Side,” to distinguish it from the original Boyce building on the south side, advertising headquarters for years for many advertising agencies and, at one time for the foreign representatives of every outside newspaper maintaining a Chicago office. The Indiana Daily Times at Indianapolis, also is owned by Mr. W. D.
