HAVE YOU contributed to the Community Chest? THEY SEEM to have gone to the mat in that mattress case. IT'S TOO LATE to shop early, but it’s never too late to shop. THAT FIRE TRUCK accident is another argument for fire prevention. THE LEGISLATURE probably will be economical with everything but talk. THE SENATE will now be given another opportunity to ratify Article 10. XT IS ABOUT TIME to begin thinking about those New Year's resolutions. THINGS in the scandal line have quieted down to such an extent ttint the Stillman case has been dug up again. IF f rvrw MAN Senator Tom "Watson says wrote an “atrocity" letter denies it he simply blames someone else and goes on. BERLIN is reported to have failed to meet its December bills. The Jan. 1 bills are usually the hardest to meet in this country. THE PACKERS say the majority of their employes are still at work, and yet they increase meat prices with the strike as an excuse. THERE CAN now be no question as to what the motives of Senator Lodge and his associates were when they defeated the League of Nations. THIS IS the time of year when little Willie examines the radiator and wonders what is meant by all that bunk about Santa Claus coming down a chimney.

Article 10 Again There is every reason to believe that the “quadruple entente” agreed to at Washington yesterday by the United States, Great Britain, France and Japan, will make of the Pacific, where many tell us the future war will be fought, a placid pond for the next ten years. If it fulfills the hopes of its authors the armament conference, even if it does nothing else, will not have been in vain. Those of us who believed the League of Nations was the true solution of peaceful relations will have little difficulty in reconciling our views with a four-power pact which proposes to establish a Monroe Doctrine for the intermingling interests in the Pacific Ocean, although we may make a mental reservation that such an agreement embracing all of the nations and applying to the entire world would be more efficacious. In fact article 2 of the new agreement is so nearly akin to article 10 of the League of Nations that it would seem as if the assembled powers are finding it more and more difficult to escape the justice of the famous covenant executed at Versailles, eren if they so desired. It may be the irony of fate, cr it may be, and we hope it is, the dawn of anew light, that caused Senator Lodge, the man who brought to its death American participation in the League of Nations, to read to the world the terms of the new “entente.” The public memory is not so short that it does not recall the solemn warnings issued by Republican Senators against entangling alliances with foreign nations when the league was presented by a Democratic President for ratification. The immortal words of George Washington were continually and systematically resurrected then to prove that their theory of “splendid isolation” was the only safe course for the United States to follow. Now we have the spectacle of some of these same Senators and statesmen signing their names to a compact that binds us with three other foreign powers not alone to respect each other’s rights within certain spheres, but to council and join with them to “meet the exigencies of the particular situation” should one arise. All of which leaves us open to the suspicion that we have maintained ever since the Versailles conference —that the League of Nations was discarded and Woodrow Wilson was pilloried all because it was necessary to have 5. campaign issue. The Speakership The Republican members of the Indiana House of Representatives will meet Tuesday night to name a Speaker preparatory to the opening of the special session of the Legislature Wednesday. In regard to the speakership the Republican majority seems to be somewhat divided between the selection of a man who will probably return at the next regular session and continue as Speaker and that of a man who will not be a candidate for reelection and who would serve as Speaker only during the special session. This latter course is said to be favored by Governor W T arren T. McCray. There is some objection from the Republican viewpoint of electing a man who will serve as Speaker only during the special session. This would mean that the real contest for the speakership will ccme next year after another election has been held and after the personnel of the House has been changed. Even the most ardent Republican when cornered will admit that a Republican majority of the size of the present majority in the House cannot he returned next year. The last mayoralty elections in which fifty-seven Democrats and forty-three Republicans were elected showed that. If a man is elected this time who will serve during the next session a small Republican majority would feel duty hound to rename him. If, on the other hand, it becomes necessary to elect anew Speaker in 1923 the contest might result in a split which would be disastrous to a small majority. Os course, it is entirely possible that the Democratic party will send a majority to the House next year. If so, the result of the present speakership race would make little difference. It would then be up to the Democrats to do the worrying.

Immigration An Indianapolis woman has returned from Europe favoring a five-year “holiday” in immigration. There are many arguments in favor of such a proposal and about as many against it. The principal argument of this proponent of stopping immigration lor the time being seems to be that America is receiving only the undesirable of Europe. She points out that various “delousing” processes are necessary to make many of the immigrants even partially presentable. There is every reason why Europetns should wish to come to America at this time and some restriction such as that now in effect certainly is necessary, but it is not quite clear why the class of immigrants should be any lower now than previously. They iray be more poverty stricken than they were before, but this can be blamed on economic conditions and not on the individuals. The thousands and millions of immigrants who are now good citizens of this countrv would resent being called the “scum” of Europe. '* That there should be a strict supervision of immigrants, however, i$ obvious. One of the best solutions would seem to be that of sending American inspectors to Europe to pass on immigrants before they are allowed to start for this country. ' v .. : — Do Your Mailing Early The postoffice reports that the Christmas rush has started early this year. This is a good sign. It means that Indianapolis not only is shopping early, but is mailing early. The importance of mailing Christmas packages early cannot be overestimated. Every year the postoffice is jammed during Christmas week to such an extent that it becomes impossible to deliver packages and other mail intended for Christmas before Christmas day. The only way to relieve that congestion this year is to. mail your packages right now. Inform the recipients that they are not to open- the packages before Christmas. In this way delivery before Christmas is assured and the over-worked postoffice employes are given an opportunity to care for the rush efficiently.

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 reader* of the Dally Times now the many present-day problems or 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.] MONDAY. “I thought you wouldn't mind my coming down unexpectedly to dinner tonight with Henry,” said Mr. Hooper s sister Belle, as she came in with him on his return from the office. “I'm going right back in the morning, but I had my floors painted today and it was so upset in the apartment that I decided to come and spend the.night, with you, Mary. Besides, I'm so anxious to hear all about the birthday party and X knew if I waited until my visit at Christmas that there were ever so many things you’d forget by that time and I never would know everything that happened." ‘‘We are delighted to see you, Belle,” exclaimed Mrs. Hooper, coming in from the kitchen, where she was putting the finishing touches to the dinner. “Go np to the spare room and take off your things and Helen will get you some clean towels. Come down in about ten minutes when dinner will be on the table, and she will talk endlessly about the party, which was a great success, as Henry may have already told you.” “Oh yes, he said that it went off in great shape,” laughed Auntie Belle, “but I want to hear all the details—and about the presents and all the exciting things that happened.” “T want to thank you so much. Auntie Belle, for the lovely work basket,” said Helen, taking her aunt's handbag and following her upstairs. “I was going to write vou a not a tomorrow and tell you how niueh I like it. I'v’e always wanted one of my own, as T wouldn’t have to l>e going to mother's work basket every time I wanted a needle or a piece of thread or a button.” “That's the way I felt about it,' replied Auntie Belle, “and now that yon have it I hope you'll use your needle and thread very often and learn to mend your things as nicely as your mother does.” . „ . , . “Well, maybe I will, ’ was Helen s tentative promise. ~ When they were all seated nt the table Belle again referred to birthday party by asking: “How many presents did you have and what were they?” “I had eight 1” replied Helen exeitealy. “Eight,” exclaimed her aunt, “all from the family as your mother planned they were to be?” “Well none of the girls that came to the party knew it was my birthday so

Men Y ©hi May Marry By ETHEL R. PEYSER Has a man like this proposed to you? Symptoms: He is so ma • elously tailored it’s hard to tell where he left off and God begins. He doesn’t look real. Thin, lithe, hair fixed and glued perfectly. It looks like a wig. Handles his hands as if they belonged to a fine lady. Looks admiringly at his nails, his turned up atomic furze over his red lips looks as if it were pasted on insecurely. His clothes are super-dread-naughts. No one could be more perfectly tailored and pressed. He is a panther for talk and glide. He is a milliner and can sell a hat without selling himself. He knows the smile and the chat that takes a woman. IN FACT: He is a fine womanly man. Prescription to his bride: l\l Enlist his services continually. He only likes f his own likes. Absorb This: A MAN THAT TALKS THROUGH HIS HAT IS BRIMFUL OF CONVERSATION. ♦ (Copyright, 192 L)

they didn’t bring any presents," answered Helen, "but three of my thing* didn’t eome from the family. Mr. Allen sent me a box of flowers and a big box of candy and the Bride gave me n lovely hook. She says 1 must start a real library of my own, and that she is going to give me a book on every birthday and Christmas till I’m an old lady.” “And what did your father give you?” inquired Belle enjoying Helen's pleasure in telling about the party. “Oh the loveliest little umbrella with a round handle to carry it on my wrist like yours." exclaimed Helen her eyes shining, “that's another thing I’ve always wanted for my very own, and not to have to use an old family umbrella that nearly always leaks.” “I suppose she’ll go right out and lose Dailg Fashion Hints § Cns ■ * mo L-ts. Hy AGNES AYRES, Star in Paramount Picture*. It Is difficult to tell whether our bouffant skirts have been suggested by Spain or the mid-Victorian period. The skirt of this frock, if you look at its shape only, would seem decidedly Spanish, but I am inclined to put it down as midVletorlan when I further consider the color and trimming. I think we have never had a fashion season quite like this—so many and opposing influences. And certainly not in my recollection have wo had two such distinctly opposed silhouettes. While there are many of the slim, straight evening frocks, the majority are, like this one, as bouffant as may be without actual hoops. And for daytime wear, though many of the skirts are full on the sides, there Is nothing approaching the distended skirts of evening. It is, I think, a move in the right direction. There is no longer any excuse for the w man whose frocks are made on lines that do not suit her figure. She may be gowned now in perfect taste, from the artist’s point of view, and be ultra fashionable nt the same time. The French woman has always put her own type above style, and perhaps we shall some day follow her illustrious example. The dress in the sketch is of pale green taffeta, its particular figure being the long line of trimming, starting in the shoulder straps, made of flat bias folds of the taffeta.

it the way she does the old family umbrella," said Roger breaking in dispariugly. “With a ring on tny wrist! how could T possibly?" snapped Helen looking at him crossly. “Well what else did you get?” queried Auntie Belle qulokly to avert hostilities. “What did Roger get for you?" “Oh Roger's present was awfully nice too." Helen added contritely, “and he made most of It himself. “It was the cutest little window box to fit In the window In my room and painted just like the Bride pninted she dresser .and the bed. Then he bought the ferns for it with the money he earned helping his teacher.” ''V, I *, that * f ,v e presents accounted for, Belle went on, “what tt-ere the other three?” “Grandma gave me the cloth for anew spring dress, mother's present was the f iJ r * U|T YOU gave me the work basket. That makes the eight" answered Helen. “Well 1 must say I think they wenvery wisely chosen presents.” concluded her aunt, “and there seems to be no doubt that you were pleased with them.” The menu for the three meals on Tuesday is; BREAKFAST. Grape Fruit Cereal Broiled Bacon Biscuits Coffee LUNCHEON Scrambled Eggs with Minced Vegetables Boiled Rice and Jam Cocoa DINNER Vegetable Soup Braised Breast of Mutton Mashed Potatoes Creamed Carrots Apple Custard (Copyright, 1'J21.) CREAMED CHICKEN. Two cups cold cooked chicken. 1 cup PUSS IN BOOTS JR. Hr David Cory ———- “That’s a nice looking house over there,” said Tom Thumb. "Suppose we go over and see if we can get something to eat.” "Very well,” replied Puss Junior. So he and Tom went up and knocked on the front door. “A kitten once to his mother said, 'l’ll never more be good; But I’ll go and be a robber fierce, And live in a dreary wood, Wood, wood, wood, And live in a dreary wood.' ’’ “A bold, bad kitten, my dear Puss,” Tom Thumb whispered, “I hope he’s no relative of yours.” Aud Just then the door flew open and out rushed a small cat. He wore a largo soft hat with a sweeping feather in it and a pair of gloves, and In his belt was a great big pistol and from his side hung a scabbard and In his right paw was a sharp sword. And it was a good thing he didn’t see Puss and Tom, for he might have done something dreadful, for all I know. “Let’s follow this gay young kitten," said Tom Thumb. So ho and Puss Junior started after him, and after a little while the kitten turned to the right, and “Off he went to the dreary wood. And there he met a cock, And blew his head, with a pistol, off. Which gave him an awful shock! Shock, shock, shock! Which gave him an awful shock!” “We'd better be earefui, cried Tom Thumb, Jumping behind a tree. "I don't want my head blown off.” "Neither do I," said Puss Junior. “This kitten is a very dangerous sort of an animal. If he had only a sword, I’d take chances, for I have mine with me. But pistols are pistols, and they go off sometimes too quickly for comfort.” And just then (he robber kitten saw our two small travelers. "Hello, there!" he cried. "Whither are you bound, ray friends?” "We are in search of adventures,” re piled Puss. “Hold up your hands!” cried the robber kitten. "I am in search of plunder.” And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright 1921. (To Bo Continued.)

Prepare same as potato salad, using equal quantities of pickled beets cut same shape as the potatoes. Use vinegar from the beets, and, instead of grating the onion, cut it in fine rings, and mix with salad, using a Bermuda onion. This was the salad Napoleon ordered after the Battle of Solferino.

Helpful Household Hints —Transparent Paste— In framing pictures printed on thin paper and in some kinds of ornamental work, it is desirable to paste the face of the picture to the glass. A transparent paste for this purpose is obtained by pouring off the water in which rice has been boiled. The water is applied to the picture which is then placed upon the glass as desired. This paste does not mar the picture in any way. —House Plants — To keep house plants growing straight, turn pot around towards light or the window every day. FASHION HINTS FROM PARIS.

It has four dials, easily read two blocks aWay in any of the four directions from The Fishback Cos. corner. It may be known also as THE FISHBACK CHIMES CLOCK, blit above all it will prove to be THE CORRECT CLOCK for thousands and thousands. It will be correct because each day it will be kept correct from the government observatory at Washington, the time being received by wireless at the building, which is equipped with wireless apparatus for the special purpose. It has beautifully colored stained glass and at night the dial is' powerfully illuminated. Moreover, it is a clock with music, having the famous chimes of "Westminster, the English parliament house. The traffic at this corner has increased beyond common knowledge. Within a year the number of persons who pass the corner daily has mounted by thousands. The opening of thoroughfares to the South Side has caused an” increase in street car traffic until now twelve lines are routed by the corner, 120 cars an hour, two a minute, and doubling at the particular comer as it is the pivotal one of the four in the loop of a block. The same reason for the increase in the street car traffic applies to vehicular traffic which has been at as large ratio. The pedestrian movement runs into thousands a day as against hundreds. All projected changes in routing of street cars must recognize the use of this comer. All of which is to say that the clock is to render a public service and will come to be recognized as standard in its way as are Three F and other articles from The Fishback Line in food quality*.
