EVEKY CITY seems to have its day in Federal Court. THE PEST -who forgets to close the street car doors is with us again. FRED VAN NtTYS has stated the principal reason why prohibition doesn’t prohibit IT BEGINS to appear as if that “association of nations” is to be a four-cylinder affair. LLOYD GEORGE may be a great statesman, but he certainly has a faculty for changing his mind. WHAT HAS become of that Standard Oil investigation that was causing so much excitement in some quarters a few days ago? THOMAS A. EDISON says gold may before long be manufactured as cheaply as pig iron. This should enable Germany to meet the indemnity terms. THE PRESIDENT ha* decided not to obtain the approval of Germany to agreements that might be reached at the conference on the limitation of armaments. Germany probably will carry them out so far as they affect that country whether her representatives approve them or not. American Competition While discussion of the merchant marine and the opportunities of America to garner the foreign trade are going on in this country and while business is being berated for its alleged slowness in taking advantage of the situation, it is interesting to know that the British are being warned that America may take from them their trade supremacy unless steps are taken to prevent it This question is discussed in an article headed “American Competition," appearing in the Empire Mail, a commercial magazine published in_ London. “America, a wonderful productive and internal trading country', is making bold bids for external trade supremacy," the article s^ 3 . “If America is going to beat us in the exportation of coal and manufactures, and in the general shipping trade, as she beats us in agriculture and other productive industries, then our decline and fall will/be inevitable.” It goes on to describe the efforts being made by America to obtain the foreign trade and then hits on a rather unique reason for American success. This reason is that America is going aheyJi of England in coal production. The article points out that coal Is helpfg mined more cheaply in the United States than in England and that 'while an English miner digs only 200 tons a year the American minor, digs 1,000 tons. "The United States Government has Appointed special trade commissioners for every important market lr£ the world," the article concludes. “The American trusts have /organized a network of foreign agencies. The banks have Joined in campaign. Special foreign language schools have been established/tx> train foreign travelers. The American Federation of Labor has ad(kfe Sße d to the President a noteworthy manifesto. This sets out the preposition that high production is essential to national welfare, and it inviV es the United States Government to assist and supplement the efforts ythich private capitalists are making to apply more scientific methods to ' industry. Will the British workman please read, mark, learn and inwardly digest?” This article is of particular value because it shows the point of view of the, other fellow/ indicates that American efforts have not been unsuccessful.

A Debt to the Soldiers The National Administration is again discussing passage of legislation beneficial to the former service men and among the latest suggestions to crop out is one whereby the Government would repay the soldiers by issuing a policy insuring them against disability and misfortune. * The adoption of such an act might, in a measure, discharge the obligation the Government owes to the men who served, yet it falls to conform to what the service men themselves feel is their Just duo. The American Legion, after exhaustive research, evolved the five-fold plan of readjusted compensation which would give the ex-fighters their option of insurance, vocational aid, industrial aid, home building aid, or a cast compensation, and successive national conventions have reaffirmed their faith in the justice and stability of the plan. Recognition of this sort would take in all classes of men—those who desire the cash bonus could have it; those who desire to build a home would find governmental assistance available; the same would be true of the man who desired to stock up a farm, and the man who desired to pursue his educational studies further would find the Government willing to help him. There is little use, in the minds of most men who have investigated the situation, to supplant the five-fold plan with another scheme. It is simply a question of whether the Government will continue to utter indefinite promises and withhold the day of reckoning by vague substitutions, or whether it will repay the debt to the men who served in the hour of need. Advertise Indianapolis The plan cf the Chamber of Commerce to type tevv about Indianapolis on the bottoms of outgoing business letters is one that business homes generally in the city could follow to advantage. The first of each month the Chamber of Commerce lists a group of facts, one for each day, and asks merchants and business houses to use them on their letters. This month, for Instance, the statements include the fact that Indianapolis is the sixth city in ratio of bank clearing in 1920, that it ranks high In new building, that while it is twenty-first in population it is thirteenth in retail sales, and It is served by seventeen railroad lines, and twenty-seven other interesting and important facts. It is well worth while to bring about general circulation of such Important facts concerning the city of Indianapolis. It is to our utmost advantage to have persons outside the city know these things. Cities grow through advertising, just as business grows through advertising and the typing of facts concerning the city on business letters is an excellent way to advertise the city. The citizens of Indianapolis generally should be acquainted with the advantages of the city such as those set out by the Chamber of Commerce in its monthly list of suggestions and they should not only write them but they should talk them. Tell the fellow from the other city the advantages enjoyed by Indianapolis. If you keep at it long enough he will come here himself. That Ib the way to boost Indianapolis. Making Gold The statement of Thomas A. Edison that the manufacture of gold as cheaply as that of pig iron may be made possible any day is rather startling. Such an accomplishment probably would be disastrous rather than a benefit to the world. If gold can really be made from baser metals and the dream of the alchemist of the middle ages comes true, the monetary system of most of the world will be not only upset, but destroyed. Gold is the standard of money in the United States and as a result it has long been the practice to provide for the payment of commercial paper in gold. If it becomes possible to manufacture gold in large quantities at a low price, not only money, but commercial paper of all descriptions would be in danger of becoming worthless over night. Only heroic measures could prevent such a calamity*. But this is all speculation. Mr. Edison, while he deserves unbounded credit for the things he has accomplished, has been known to be extremely visionary. As an example, he has been discussing seriously for some time the invention of a contrivance to converse with the spirit world. In fact, it i'i not necessary to take Mr. Edison’s predictions seriously until they materialize. But if they do—shades of William Jennings Bryan and the “cross of gold'.” n , ..

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 by 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.] THURSDAY. Added to the usual shopping for the week Mrs. Hooper had the needs of Helen’s party on her mind as far as preparing the refreshments for the twelve girls was concerned. She had decided to sit them all down at the dining-room table and serve them In that way rather than have them sit around the living-room and pass the refreshments around to them. According to Helen’s idea It would seem much more like a real party and from her own point of view it would be much easier to clear up after them. She intended to make the Ice cream herself and the birthday cake on which there was to be pink and icing she planned to make in the morning as well as to do all the other baking necessary for the party as the afternoon would have to be devoted as usual to the club. Her groceries were rather low aga'jn, as the list made out when the pantry was Inspected on Monday showed a number of things needed. Flour s.nd sugar and tea and coffee that airways made quite an Inroad in her weekly fund for groceries when they all h?id to be ordered at the same time were mi on the list. An extra supply of yuik and eggs would be needed for tl/ 9 party, which would send her dairy supplies account up a bit also, butane meat for the week had been carcfu’.iy ordered and practically all of the vegetables had come out of the pantry well as much of the fruit for the oft 'her orders at the market and grocery Kne found that even with the extra expense of Helen's party with Its twelve little guests to be furnished with refreshments she would not go over her food allowance for the week. The surplus from last month’s food budget she had spent for nuts and pink candles and raisins and pink candles for the birthday cakt, and Helen's birthday present which was to come from her she

had bought from the clothes balance, as she well knew that nothing would give the child as much pleasure and genuine satisfaction as something to wear, especially if it were something unexpected. When she was in the city on Monday she had bought a pretty little gray squirrel muff fpr which she had paid $5 at a shop to which Mrs. Chapin had guided her. It was just what Helen needed with her red coat and hat, both of which were trimmed with gray fur. It had seemed like an extravagance when she first thought of it, but she reasoned that it would serve Helen for several winters, and after that would make an excellent trimming for a coat for Betty, and besides would be a worthwhile birthday present that would make the child very happy. The family had all decided that they were to surprise each other as well as Helen, with what she was to receive as gifts from them, so that she had. no Idea what Mr. Hooper had bought for her from the accumulated savings from his lunch money, which he usually slipped Into a box in his bvreau drawer, to be used to buy some ’’uembers of the family a little gift whenever a birthday came round. Roger ha& told her he intended to use some c* u he money he had been earning by„“working after school to buy her a present though she suspected he haA been making her something, he had been spending much time i a the basement sawing and hamme'ujg for the lest week. The pleasures In the Hooper family were necessarily so few that the occasion of holidays and birthdays were always made as much of as possible and any little thing like all this mystery about presents that could add to the excitement, Mrs. Hooper was very much inclined to encourage. As she walked home briskly In order to be back in time for tea, after all her marketing had been accomplished, she was much tempted to buy a bunch of pink carnations for the table In the one florist shop that Mayfield boasted, but knowing how expensive they were at this time of year and that the Bride and Helen had prepared decorations of ptnk crepe paper she wisely refrained.

Daily Fashion Hints By AGNES AYRES. Star In Paramo ant Pictures. They say the French dressmakers keep their most extravagant styles for their American customers and that the better dressed French woman will not buy them. Be that as may, certainly our Impression of French styles is one of extravagance, nothing at all naif way or hesitating about them. And you will find the evening dress la the sketch no exception to this rule. Nothing could be more ultra. In fact, almost outre than Its combination of ex cesslvo modesty as to neck, combined with an utter lack of the same in the matter of sleeves. A huge collar, one with the bodice, ends only at the lady's chin in a narrow band of Jet beads. The same jet beads border the arm holes and are used down one side of the slit and slightly draped skirt. Os course, you know Paris Is advocating a neck line that covers the collar bone, combined with no sleeves, for evening wear, though usually she makes up for this excess by forgetting the back altogether. The crushed hip girdle, with one wide sash, is up to the moment, too, and is loose enough not to Interfere with the straight slimness of the silhouette. Then, as In most of the season s evening frocks, there is a train, long and slim of the ivory satin of the gown. The girdle Is shining black to match the Jet beads. Slippers, fan and bandeau are all correct, too. A black laurel bandeau of jet sequins, with clusters of pendant balls over the ears; slippers with tiny black buckles and a tongue made of a flare of ostrich plumes have black velvet heels, while the fan Is a combination of mother of pearl stick, black tulle and silver sequins. Many of the newest fnns are completely covered with glistening sequins.

teaspoonful, each, of powdered nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon, one cupful of flour, a half pound each of cleaned currants, seeded and chopped raisins, and a quarter of a pound of shredded citron—all thoroughly dredged with flour. Last of all, added a tablespoon of rosewater. Turn Into a deep tin, well greased, and bake in a steady oven until done. Helpful Household Hints When Food Burns—As soon as the food has been removed, hold the saucepan or skillet upside down under the cold water faucet and let the water run over It until it is well chilled. Then fill with water. Y'ou will be surprised how easily the burnt particles comes off. Cleansing Cups—(Jftlmes the bottom of teacups become yellow. This yellowness can easily be removed by applying baking soda and rubbing hard with a damp cloth. FASHION HINTS FROM PARIS. Egyptian Jewelry, found on mummies, is having its effect on fashion here Just now. It furnishes inspiration for the designs of buckles and girdles. one smart model now on display is in the form of a snake in the silver-gilt combination, with bracelets of the same sort. The three piece tailleur is engaging the attention of Baris at present. The new one is Indeed smart. It is of mastic serge mouflonne with collar and cuffs of castor. The walst-ltne Is apparent enough, when the coat Is removed, to give the wearer a chic appearance. A corset Is, of course, the underlying foundation of this. Tho skirt Is draped and has au Irregular hem. The vogue of black and white has reached the furs and, as a result, ermine, broadtail, caracul and seal are coming back Into their own. Most popular, perhaps, are the suits and frocks of broadtail, which are very supple and carefully tailored, a soft collar of ermine and narrow bands outlining the neck and sleeves or used to face the opening of the coat, increase the value of black as a becoming shade.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR By David Cory ———

As Puss Junior and Tom Thumb entered a small village In Mother Goose Land they heard a great noise. Such a shouting and waving of sticks! And all of a sudden from a small tailor shop twenty-four little tailors rau Into the street. “What's the matter?’’ Puss Junior asked a small boy. “The tailors are trying to kill a big Snail that creeps Into their shop every night," he replied. And just then a bie policeman came by and pushed his way into the crowd. “What’s all this noise about?" he demanded, swinging his stick up and down. And then a woman popped her head out of a window and said: “Four and twenty tailors Went out to kill a Snail; The best man amongst them Durst not touch her tall. She put out her horns, Like a little Keyloe cow; Run, tailors, run. Or she’ll kill you all just now.” And even before she finished speaking, the four and twenty tailors ran away as fast as they could from the fiery little Snail. But, oh dear me! As Puss Junior was laughing at the funny sight, the snail turned around and rushed at Tom Thumb. Poor little Tom drew his sword, which was about the size of a pen knife, and bravely defended himself. And I guess every one thought he was quite a hero after seeing the four and twenty tailors run away. But the Snail had on a heavy coat of armor, and Tom could not force his weapon through it. He was getting much the worst of It, when Puss ran up and with one blow sent the Snail spinning away. And after that the Snail didn't come back to fight any more, but lay almost still, except for a wiggle or two from its legs and a feeble waving of Its horns. “Did you get hurt?" asked Puss anxiously. “No, not much,” replied Tom Thumb. “The Snail bunted me pretty hard two or three times with its horns, but that only took the breath out of me." “Let's go out of town," said Puss, picking up Tom Thumb and placing him on his shoulder. “There's such a crowd, and who wants to wait for those cowardly tailors to return.” So he and Tom Thumb resumed their Journey of adventure, and In the next story you shall hear what happened afteF that.—Copyright, 1921.

XMAS SEALS ON BILLS OF FARE Suggestion by Proprietor of Local Restaurant Spreads Over City. A'suggestion from Herbert Miller, y iprletor of English’s Case, has Just tsulted in several of the large downto.cn hotels and eating houses assisting the Marion County Tuberculosis Association in its 1921 Christmas seal sale by ploying Christmas seals on each menu from which guests are served at the tables of the various cases. Besides English's the other downtown eating places which placed seals on the menus today were the Claypool Hotel, Washington Hotel, Lincoln Hotel, Severin Hotel and Solomon's Case. Other restaurants and hotels have notified the Tuberculosis Association that they will thus cooperate during the holiday season. Dr. Clark E. Day, representing the Marion County Tuberculosis Association as Its health chairman for Pentalpha Lodge, No. 534, F. and A. M., notified the Marlon County Tuberculosis Association that his lodge desired to purchase $125 worth of health bonds as its contribution to the 1922 fight against the “white plague” In the county. Mrs. John S. Holliday today sent In her check for $25 to the association, following the habit that John H. Holliday carried on for years before his death. Several business firms throughout the city purchased health bonds today, as follows: Indianapolis Street Railway Company, $25; A. B. Meyer Coal Company, $25; Blanton Milling Company, $25; Merchants Heat and Light Company, $25. Evidence of continuing support of the anti-tuberculosis campaign by union labor In the county continues to be received at headquarters. E. T. Carpenter, treasurer of local No. 269 of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, sent in a check in payment for seals with the following letter: "We appreciate the noble work that your association is doing and we are ready and willing to assirt you. Should your quota fall below the regular amount you may call upon us for further purchases of seals.”

Conference Notes by the Observer

Special to Indiana Dally Timed and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Dec. B.—lt is a tremendous disappointment to the conference, to the conference press and to Washington in general that David Lloyd George seems definitely to be unable tc come to the United States. The British premier was confidently relied upon to pump that particular kind of dynamic energy Into the finale of the conference that would have wound up Its sessions with a distinctive flourish. "L. G.“ assuredly would have dominated the picture had he come. Even if matters already were as good as signed, sealed and delivered, all concerned feel be would have injected a blast of

fresh air Into them. The President was anxious to greet “the little Welshman" and play golf with him. Mr. Hughes wanted to meet the most distinguished politician who has ever sprung from the Secretary of State's ancestral Males. Altogether, the conference is saddened at the prospect of Lloyd George’s abstention. It Is an honor said to be without parallel In congressional annals that so numerous a delegation of foreigners was permitted the courtesies of the floor of the House of Representatives. Some forty or five-five of the conference newspaper men from abroad were allowed to occupy places directly behind the last row of members in order to hear President Harding deliver his message. The privilege was extended jointly by Mr. Mondell, majority leader, and Mr. Ferris, minority leader. There is about to leave the United States the representative of the antiGovernment Ken Sel Kai party, K. Mochizukl, who has beeu “observing” events on the Potomac for his organization. Mr. Mochizukl is hastening to Tokio to participate In the opening discussion of the work accomplished by Kato and Tokugawa at Washingon. As it is the business of opposition parties to oppose, the Ken Sei Kai may be counted upon to assail with becoming passion the rival organization now in power and responsible for conduct of the Washington negotiation. To impartial observers at the ringside, it looks mightily as if Kato and Tokugawa ought to be pelted with laurels when they land at Y’okohama. Doubters should consult the Chinese. I A “limitation of armament stamp" is !on the market. It is issued by the oldest ! war-abolition organization in the United States—the American Peace Society. Handsomely engraved iu six colors, it shows arms being beaten into plough .shares while a grateful mother and child approvingly look on. China, or rather the Chinese people, has two delegates in Washington of whom little is heard or generally known. They are Dr. Y'ue and Dr. Chiang, sent hero to observe the conduct of the Chi M I nese and Japanese delegates in particular [ but conference activities in general. They are in depressed mood. They feel China's fortunes are not being favored. They are j not hypercritical of the attitude of their ; country’s conference representatives, looking upon them rather as more i sinned against than sinning. The Rev. Dr. Joseph S. Kornfeld, the Columbus. Ohio, rabbi who President Harding has appointed American minister to Persia, is in Washington going through the customary course of sprouts at the State Department prior to leaving for his post at Teheran. He was guest-of-honor last night at a dinner tendered by Mirza Hussein Khan Ali, the Persian minister to the United States. Recent suggestions that certain Gentile influ ences would be exerted against Rabbi Kornfeld's appointment to Persia proved to be utterly without foundation. Had they made themselves felt, they would have been rebuffed at the White House. | The President has the highest opinion of Dr. Kornfeld as a man, citizen and scholar.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
