THE REPUTATION of Terre Haute seems to be improving simply by comparison. “HELLO! When are you going to Leavenworth?” must be a common greeting in Muncie. WITH GAS at 90 cents there are cheaper ways oi committing suicide than by asphyxiation. THE SUSPENSE of being a prospective appointee must be terrible with all those changes being made. IT IS a good thing for Muncie that the census taker didn’t arrive immediately following a session with Judge Anderson. SENATOR TOM WATSON'S conduct before the investigating committee sounds like that of a man who would make charges such as he has made. The Parole System Again Now it seems that the parole system is menacing the standing of the Federal courts as well as of the State courts. Judge A. B. Andersen in Federal Court, when he saw before him men waiting to be sentenced whom he had sentenced only recently and who had been paroled, saw fit to utter lemarks of this character; “In view of this beautiful parole system, I feel like apologizing to every defendant for presuming to sit here and pass upon him. This parole system makes a mockery of these proceedings. A man may sit here and get gray hairs trying to figure out what to do in every instance and then alo::g comes the parole board and puts its own knowledge above that of the jury and court ” This state of affairs is indeed alarming. Indiana has had much experience with an abused parole and pardon system, more so in the past than at present. The State courts have been greatly handicapped by its operation and now the Federal Court is objecting. In a court of justice every effort is made to determine the guilt or innocence of a defendant and the defendant is given every advantage through every step of the strial. If he is found guilty the laws are elastic enough to give the trial judge opportunity to fit the punishment to the crime. Every good judge endeavors to do this. Then after the prisoner has served a small part of his sentence, or sometimes even before he begins serving it, he usually appeals to a pardon or parole board and this board undertakes to try the case all over again or to determine in some way if there is a reason why the prisoner should not be compelled to serve all of his sentence. In very few cases has the board sufficient information to go into the details of the case. It usually works in the dark and more times .han not grants some form of clemency. Thus the work of the court, which has spent days and sometimes weeks in determining the facts of a case and seeing that justice is done, Is undone. The prisoner is given the idea that he can commit crime with immunity and respect for the courts is broken down. Until something is ■done about the parole system law enforcement can not be effective
The Passing of De Valera The acquiescence of the fiery De Valera to the pact between Great Britain and the Sinn Fein setting up the rish free State is an augury of better times in the war and riot racked little Emerald isle. This stormy petrel of Irish politics came near to wrecking what has been characterized by Sein Fein leaders themselves as the culmination of seven hundred years of belligerent striving for freedom, but thanks to the fact that there were saner heads within the councils of hi3 people he was not permitted again to plunge the country into the welter of blood and strife from which it has emerged. That the great bulk of the Irish people who so loyally supported the Sinn Fein even to the point of civil war against their constituted government could not be swayed by the fiery outburst of De Valera and some of his chieftains, and tha’ they were willing to abide by the decisions of 1 the cooler leaders is an indication that the new found liberties will not be misused. Arthur Griffith, the founder of Sinn Fein and one of the delegates who signed the treaty with Lloyd George, displayed his capabilities as a leader, when after bargaining and bickering for weeks for the best terms obtainable, he appealed to his countrymen to lay down their arms and to take up their duties as peaceful citizens of the new free State on the basis of the London treaty. That will-o’-the-wisp army which had caused the best of Britain’s martial forces many a night of terror declined to follow the unwise counsel of De Valera, and threw its lot In with Griffith and the rest of the moderates. Undoubtedly the decision of the army had much to do in bringing De Valera to a realization that he no longer could impose his will upon his fellow islanders. With the dawn of anew peace in Ireland the world will rejoice and in rejoicing it will pause to note that anew, sane, sensible statesmanship has arisen to guide the island in its new political course. Bea Good Neighbor In Indianapolis there are about forty organizations whose chief duties are to be good neighbors in ti e truest sense of the word. These organizations, every ote of them, are deserving of the support of the community because they are asse' , to the community. Up until the last two or three years they individually went about asking and receiving the support of the citizens of Indianapolis. This support was gladly given, but the method of obtaining it meant large overhead expense to each organization. This cut down the effectiveness of the money given by citizens because so mi’' - , of it had to be used for purposes other than those for which it was originally intended. In addition, frequent campaigns for funds were annoying. In order to make the collection of funds more economical and to avoid the annoyance which resulted from frequent collection, Indianapolis hit upon the plan of conducting a single campaign for all the organizations. This campaign will start next week. Responsible persons are in charge and they are giving their time to the work because they are good neighbors. They are planning to ask you to assist financially In supporting these forty organizations and the enterprise deserves the support of every good neighbor in Indianapolis. Senator New Entertains the Bosses Senator New has entertained about forty of the party bosses, including Mr. Hogan, at dinner, to discuss with them the ways and means through which he may be assured of another nomination. He expresses the opinion that it is “a political outrage” for any one else to think of interfering with the well-laid plans of the small and select coterie of men who constitute themselves as the proprietors and managers of parties. And he did "not intend to be elbow r ed out of the way.” The bosses present “enthusiastically” assured the Senator that the people were wildly clamoring for his renomination even as babies are said to cry for Castoria, and the forty men, having decided just what the party must do in the coming primaries, adjourned. It is not likely, however, that the Senator will permit his confidence to get the better of his judgment, and we shall soon find him calling in more politicians to fix it up. The fact that Chairman Wasmuth of the State committee was among those present rooting for New, is evidence enough that the committee as at present constituted, rather assumes that it is authorized by the party to determine on the nominations. Naturally, if Senator New should fail to be nominated, it will be necessary for Mr Wasmuth to retire from the chairmanship—which would be unfortunate. Meanwhile, the mere rumor that Mr. Beveridge may decide to contest the nomination with Mr. New. is creating much uneasiness—as shown by this dinner—and some feeling, as disclosed by the Senator's rather heated remarks about “political outrages.” In the event Mr. Beveridge should enter, it is a safe surmise that he will Dot count heavily on the support of the State committee for the bosses. He will go out among the people, and alas, distasteful though this will be to Senator New, the latter will have to fallow. And it is out among the people tha*t the decision will be made. It will be a pretty fight, and we shall )*knt a seat in the grand stand.—Ft. #Vayne Journal-Gazette. \ V V
IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS
Keeping House With the Hoopers
[The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. 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.] SATIHDAY. The morning was tilled with excitement for Helen. Coming down stairs for breakfast every one wished her many Happy Birthdays and Roger beat upon her back with thirteen resounding whacks, followed hy Betty’s lighter taps which she counted breathlessly with her father's help. A little side table in the dining-room had been arranged for the “presents” and when Mrs. Hooper come down stairs she placed her parcel on it wrapped In white tissue paper and tied with a gay pink ribbon. “I can't possibly guess what it is,” said Helen looking at the parcel curiously, “and I'm not going to open my presents till father gets back from the city at lunch, time. I’ll have plenty of time to look nt them before the party begins at 2 o’clock.” “Well I won’t put mine on the table till X come then because y->u’ll guess what It is the minute you see the outside of it,” laughed Mr. Hooper. “And I want to fix mine on the table the last thing when you are not looking," said Roger. “The Bride is coming over right after breakfast to heip decorate the diningroom,” said Helen, "and when it is finished you can come in with your present then." As soon ns the house was straightened up Mrs. Hooper went directly to the kitchen and spent the greater part of the morning preparing the party refresh- ! ments, while Roger froze the ice cream for her the last thing. Helen and the Bride had jnst begun to arrange the table when the postman’s ring sent Helen flying to the door and she came back laden with several packages that had arrived in the mail. “Presents" exclaimed the Bride excitedly. “Someone knows It’s yonr birthday, Helen, in spite of your mother's precautions. How many are there?” “One, two, three, four, live, six, seven," 3houted Helen. “Who do you suppose sent them?” “Well, open them and see. yon silty,” urged Roger, who had dashed in from the kitchen at the sound of the excitement, while Mrs. Hooper stood in the doorway also looking her surprise. “No, I told father I wouldn’t open them till he came home,” replied Helen, reluctantly recalling what she had said at breakfast time. “Weil, I don't see how you can wait when tilings come by mail," said Roger, admitting a curiosity that he seldom acknowledged where Helen's affairs were concerned. “Well, you ought to open this one, Helen.” said the Bride, "because I know from the size and shape of the box that it must bo flowers and they should be taken out and put Into water." Glad of any excuse to see what waa inside of the packages in spite of her promise to her father, Helen opened the large oblong box which sure enough contained a dozen and a half of beautiful pink carnations. “Oh, how lovely!” exclaimed Mrs. \ Hooper. “Who sent them? Isn't there a note or a card?” “Yes. here it Is,” said Helen, reeding it slowly. “James Lawrence Allen, many happy returns of the day.” “Oh, how nice of him.” said the Bride. “How did he guess it was your birthday?” "Mr. Hooper met him the other day and Invited him,” said Mrs. Hooper, “but wbo would have thought he would have remembered it.” The menu for the three meals on Sunday are: BREAKFAST. Grapefruit. Cereal. Fried Sausage. Toast. Coffee. DINNER. Roast L*.*g of Mutton. Brown Potatoes. *. j Corn. Celery. Currant Jelly. Custard Pie. SUPPER. Cold Meat Sandwiches. Pickles. Olives.

Men You May Marry By ETHEL R. PEYSER Has a man like this proposed to you? Symptoms: The first time you saw him was at a musicale. He kept humming the tune that was being played on the piano. It rather annoyed you. Yet you liked his looks, for he is good looking, well groomed and affable. You had been introduced and you took a fancy to him tnd he took a large fancy to you. He has small engagements at. small prices in small towns, When he sings out loud It’s all you can do to stand It. Yet you love him. He is sure he has the “voice.” IN FACT: He is very—too—sure of himself. Prescription to his bride: /L Constructively criticise in small doses. Flatter 07 f in large. Absorb This: IT IS HARD TO SEPARATE THE HEART AND ART. (Copyright, 1021.)

Helpful Household Hints Fireproof whitewash. Add to ordinary whitewash one part of silicate of soda to five parts of whitewash. An ounce of prevention. Paint the lower cellar step white, if the cellar la dark. This saves many a fall and will do away with feeling for the last step when going down stairs.
Daily Fashion Hints BY AGNES A) RES, Htjir in Paramount Picture*. A* though for the conquering hero. Paris has been strewing roses, roses everywhere, roses for nil kinds of trimming, even for whole collars, and in this evening cape of rose velvet, in two close set lines all about it. The roses are of the velvet, large and not flattened or appliqued. A huge collar of many soft folds of the velvet looks like a rose it self. Paris is even more fond of velvet than of roses; roses came and will go with the waning of the flair for things Span ish, bnt velvet for evening wear is anew and eagerly grasped idea. Any one from the debutante to the matron may wear it, and It la more used for frocks than for capes. Curious how we change our taste in fabrics with each season—and not so curious after all. Last year everything was duvet.vn, and last year our skirts were totally lacking in fullness, both scant and short. This season they are longer, fuller and have n decided ten deucy toward bouffaney on the hips, in the more formal frocks, so this season we favor velvet and stiffer or heavier fabrics. Taffeta is much in vogue, of course, and came in with the Spanish skirts—and only a bit ago taffeta was pructically extinct. Two seasons ago no one wore anything but georgette blouses. This year It is the woman who is a bit behind (he times, usually, who even considers georgette for a blouse. And there you are.
j PUSS IN BOOTS JR. I Davtd Cory Oh, der me! The little red school- | house was on fire. And the way it happened was this. The teacher was so tired trying to put Mary’s little lamb out of the schoolroom that “When he could not catch the lamb, He called upon the boys. Who chased it all around the room, And made a dreadful noise. And still it ran around the room, And did not seem to tire, Until at last the stove upset And set the house on fire.” “What shall we, do to save them?” cried Tom Thnmb. “Jump on my back,” cried Puss Junior, “we’ll run to the firehouse and give the alarm.” And then away they went to- ! ward the village. i “Fire! Fire! Fire!” screamed Tom Thumb at the top of his voice. And all the people stuck their heads out of the windows and asked where the fire was. "The little red schoolhouse," screamed Puss Junior. “The little red schoolhouse," yelled Tom Thumb, “Fire! Fire Fire!” And, oh, dear me again! How the black and white spotted dog in front of the engine house barked when Puss, with Tom Thumb on his back, dashed in at the open door! “The little red schoolhouse is on fire!” screamed Tom Thumb. And then the fire bell rang, and the horses jumped into place; the big steel collars snapped about their necks; the driver leaped to his seat: the firemen slid down the brass pole: the lire chief jumped into his lit - { tie red wagon: the engine bell rang out' ,clang. clnig! clang! and away went the j village fire brigade to save the little red schoolhouse! “The bells then rang, the firemen came ! And made a dreadful noise; They quenched the fire and saved the girls And nearly all the boys. When Mary missed her little Lamb, She raised an awful wail; Just then a fireman pulled It out, And saved It by the tall.” And then Mary gave Puss Junior a I big bug. I’m glad yonr lainb is saved.” said Puss, and then he and Tom Thumb Jumped on the fire engiue with the firemen and went back to the village. But the little schoolhouse was gone; all that was left was a pile of ashes. And. I guess, all the boys and girls had a long vacation, and maybe the teacher never came back.—Copyright, 1921.

The character of ; the work, however, has at no lime been | denominational but has been purely a I community social service enterprise for I the betterment of community conditions and for the aiding of those within the community who needed the assistance that such an institution could give. For the last few years the Community Chest has assumed an increasing amount of the budget until this year ihe larger part of the support of the institution wiil come from this source. Tlte following is the program which will be rendered, to which the public is invited: Prelude and Fugue (Mendelssohn) Collect Choir Solo, "Open the Gates” Knapp Walter Price Address, "The Flanner Spirit” Charles W.

WARNSTOKEEP LIGHTS DOWN TO THOROUGHFARE Hoosicr Club Says Rays Should Be Focused to Within 100 Feet. Pointing out that the new ! regulations for automobile headlights do not mean, necessarily, a dim light or one j unsuitable for driving, a bulletin just i Issued by the Hoosicr Motor Club calls attention to the fact that there is a disi tinct difference between dazzling lights | and safe Illumination, j “The new regulations contemplate that ! deflecting devices must be used to keep the main ras of light dowu on the street -or roadway,” the bulletin states. “By 1 permitting a maximum of thirty-two eanj diepower bulbs, it is apparent that on j a dark country road the light emanating ! from such bulbs, even though going 1 through a deflecting device, will have a | brilliant appearance But, it is highly I important to remember that this brilliant appearance is not caused by dazzling ; rays in the eyes of opposing drivers or 1 pedestrians. j “The motorists of Indiana must them- | selves be educated on this point. So I long as the light is brilliant but is down !on the road, leaving no dazzling rays j to strike the eyes of a driver approach- ! ing in opposite direction, the spirit and | purpose of the regulations are accom- | pllshed, and in adjusting headlight bulbs and the lamps themselves, this point should be uppermost. The safe practice is to go to a service station and have ; the bulbs focused and the lamps them- ! selves properly adjusted so the mala ; rays of the deflected light shall strike the level roadway within 100 feet of the vehicle, “Shouts of ‘dim your lights’ have already been heard on dark thoroughfares by drivers who have legal lenses properly equipped. This, generally, arises from the fact that the bright appearance of the light, at first glance, will seem to be blinding. Asa matter of In several cases, it Is declared who first thought such lamps were dazzling admitted they could look right into them at normal level without eye strain. “There is no intent in the new regulations to prevent a safe driving light but undoubtedly the new lighting regulations will prevent excessive spaed on the highways at night, because such speed can not be maintained with lights complying with the law. This is a result much to be desired and it may be accepted as a fact that all motorists who believe in safety, sane driving and ordinary road courtesy, will quickly comply with the- new lighting regulations." AIN’T IT AWFUL, MABEL? WHEELING, W. Va„ Dee. 10.-—Rolled down stockings, low-neck dresses, thin waists, ronge and silk stockings hare been interdicted among the girls of the Wheeling High School by the faculty. The new order is effective immediately and will be strictly enforced. It was not formally announced but was quietly passed among the girls along with the intimation that the faculty means business In its dress reform program.
