Boston, Tayne, Burns & Smith. Inc. Advertising office* } Ch j cago- Detroit, St. Louis. G. Logan Payne Cos. PRESIDENT HARDING has expressed the opinion that the arms conference is a success. But there is still the Senate, Mr. President! COUNTY ASSESSORS have been informed that valuations for sale and taxation purposes should he the same. There are a lot of real estate owners who would like to sell their property for the assessed valuation. Why Not Tell All? Mayor Charles W. Jewett, whose desperate efforts to keep Harry Parsons out of the penitentiary have placed him in a. very embarrassing position, has not helped the situation much with his latest jtatement. The mayor now says that he did not imply before the pardon board that the police department got a confession from Parsons at the point - gun. He says that what he attempted to tell the pardon board was that a confession was forced from Parsons at the point of a gun by some of the men who were arrested with Parsons who, the mayor says, went to Parsons’ home in the night and threatened him unless he would “go on through with them." This is an interesting disclosure, especially as it indicates that Parsons confessed twice —once under duress tr unknown persons and once to the police in a manner that the mayor sayt he knows nothing about. It would seem that the verdict the jury that convicted Parsons and the sentence which he is now seeking to escape, were not badly out of line with Parsons’ statements. Seldom, if ever, has the conviction of a man for felony in any court the varied and peculiar angles that have been created by the conviction of Parsons. First, it has been admitted, there was a most unusual proceeding before the grand jury that indicted him. Then there was a very serious accusation made against an attorney who attempted to defend him. Thereafter there came the dismissal without the knowledge of the arresting officers of a man involved with Parsons. Parsons’ conviction followed and now there is a very unusual effort being made to obtain his parole. It will not be forgotten that throughout the whole history of t'na Parsons case Mayor Jewett has been charged with exercising a great deal of influence in behalf of Parsons. Nor will it be forgotten that the exposure and comment on the peculiarities of the Parsons case were so bitterly resented by Judge James A. Collins that lie cited an innocent man for contempt because of the publications in the Times. While statements md explanations are being made by the authorities on such a broad scale, it might not be amis* for Mr. Jewett to tell when and how he first became interested in Parsons’ behalf and whether it is true, as Parsons' attorney charged, that it was through the Jewett influence with Clarice Adams that he obtained the extraordinary privilege of examining witnesses for Parsons before the Marion County grand jury. Why Not Move the Monument? V. T. Robinson, who says he is not a Hoosier by birth, but by preference, makes a daring suggestion as a solution of the differences which have arisen over the surroundings of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. Mr. Robinson asks why it would not be an excellent plan to remove the monument from its present location and give it a site in the plaza which Indianapolis will eventually have as a memorial to the war veterans. The plan is not without features that command consideration. It is suggested that in the place of the monument a circular build.ng m.glit be erected with arcades permitting the continuation through the site of both and Meridian streets. This building, Mr. Robinson suggests, might be the new home of the Chamber of Commerce and a center from which there might radiate a great many of the activities of Indianapolis. Jhe monument in anew site such as suggested would be free from all detracting surroundings and would not be so far from its present location as to make the removal a disturbance of traditions. In so far as it would be Placed in ground dedicated for memorial purposes it would not be desecrated in the moving. The task of removing the monument is not beyond the ability of the engineers of today. The project is not likely to be countered on the ground of expense, for the value of the circle in a commercial way ought to be sufficient to offset all the cost of rebuilding the monument on the plaza. Then, too, the increased usefulness and value of the property now surrounding the monument should be given consideration. There wot Id seem to be a possibility that from a financial standpoint this would prove an admirable suggestion. Thre are possibilities in Mr. Robinson's suggestion and it is sketched here in the hopes that those who are interested in the improvement of Indianapolis will consider it without prejudice.

Be Sure You’re Right! In a speech the other day former Senator Albert .T. Beveridge warned against haste in the ratification of treaties on the ground that as much time as possible should be given to the study of a document that would be binding on the Nation and almost impossible to repeal. This warning might I well include the original negotiation of treaties. I The misunderstanding that has developed in Washington over the I meaning of the terms of the four-power agreement is one of the most dej plorable incidents of the entire conference on the limitation of armaments. I The difference has arisen over the question of whether the powers have guarkanteed the territorial integrity of Japan or merely of its possessions. The I Japanese delegates are of the opinion that the homo land of Japan is inI eluded. The American delegates also seem to be of this opinion. PtesiI dent Harding, however, toot the opposite view. I Theoretically the President is empowered to negotiate treaties. The I delegates to the conference are in one sense representatives of the President. I Now there has arisen a difference of opinion between the President and the I delegates. How it will be settled cannot be predicted. I Altogether, there seems to have been a little too much of the “whoop I it up" sentiment in the conference. Conclusions have been reached without I any too much study. It Is almost inconceivable that a group of men such las those representing the varic powers would draw a contract the meanling of which is ambiguous, hut such seems to have been the case. It is I far more important that agreements which say what they mean are finally I reached than it is that the conference adjourn by New Year’s. A conferlence lasting many months would ie much preferable to a mlsunderstandI ing afterward. I \Farm Valuations I The question of just what is the true cash value of property has again I cropped up, this time in the annua! meeting ot the county assessors with I the State board of tax commissioners. It has been the impression generally I that true cash value means market value, but the tax commissioners seem Ito take a different view. This difference of opinion applies largely to farm llandL I The question came about when the Wtyne County farmers asked for a ■45 per cent cut in the valuation of farm property. They contend that beI cause of the decline in prices of farm products the price of farm lands has ■ declined and the lands should therefore be assessed at lower figures. The tax ■ board takes the view that the decline in prices of products is only temporary land it should therefore not be given too serious consideration in valuing ■property. In fact, one commissioner went so far as to say he did not believe athe valuation of farm property next year will be much below that of last ■year. I One of the theories of taxation is that taxes shall be governed by the lability of taxpayers to pay. There can be no question that the price of I farm lands has dropped and that the ability of farmers to pay taxes has ■ dropped accordingly. It would be extremely unfair to assess farms on jthe basis of wartime valuations, which procedure would be necessary if ■ the valuations are to be kept up to the 1918 standard. I One of the difficulties of real estate valuation in Indiana is the fact that Isuch valuations are made only once even. - four years. Before the next ■valuation the prices may be up again. It would seem to be a better policy Ito assess land at Its market value now and to yiake a special valuation in , la year or two if changing conditions warrant ft.

RUBY AND GARNET MERRIMAN.

This week's hill at the Lyric includes two Indianapolis girls, Ruby and Garuet Merriman who huve a singing, dancing and xylophone act in which they are asj sisted by Beatrice Bing. The Merriman -MERRY WIDOW” OPENS TONIGHT. > Frans Lehar, the composer of “The ! Merry Widow,” which opens tonight at I English's, is a native of Austria-Hungary and 51 years of age. When but 12 he became a student at the Conservatoire of Prague, devoting himself to the violin, and later concert master at the Combined I City Theater in Barmen Elberfield. Iu ISM) he entered a regimental band and was next given the part of military musical director in Loconez and subse- ! quently made director of the Austrian Naval band. His first opera “Tltania" i was produced in Leipsie and then fol- ' lowed an engagement ns conductor in | Triest, where he devoted himself to tho ! composition of light operas of the V ien- , nese type. The greatest of these is ' “The Merry Widow." “The Merry Widow” was originally produced iu Vienna m 1905 and at Daly's Theater, London, a year later, Henry W. j Savage secured tho American rights. Ills j original production in New York was in • October, 1907. when it played tho New | Amsterdam Theater for a solid year. He ! now made an entirely new producj fion.

BIG QUESTION HAS SOLUTION Women Dress to Compete With Other Members of Their Sex. • NEW 15RK, Dec. 22.—D0 girls dress to pb-ase men or women? That, ns Shakespeare said, is the queUton. The Eternal Feminine will vigorously resent the accusation that she plumes and feathers herself for the eyes of her envious slst rs. And, with rully as much warmth, she will deny that her sole aim In wearing fine elotbei Is to trap that wary animal—man. If the wiman of today dreses for adornment, and most of them agree that she does, who is the target for her sartorial charms? Well-posted women hold that the popular flapper Is poorly dressed, while another group, equally well posted, h-ld an opposite view and Insist that women wear clothes that cater to the taste of their hushauds or sweethearts. Here, for example. Is Mrs. Key Cammack. Y. W. C. A. lecturer, who can mako the working girl's salary stretch further, probably than anyone except the working girl herself. She Is an expert on all phase* of femininity. “Girls dress In competition with -tfiers of their own sex.” said Mrs. Cntninaek. “Men do not know or appreciate had embroidery or expensive laces. The skill of the dressmakers and the habit of trying to appear better dressed than she ean afford make a girl vie with other girl* In wearing expensive elothes. "I am convinced that women dress to make other women envious, rather than to catch a man.” A different view Is expressed by milliners and dressmakers catering to wealthy New York women, whose rindIrigß can be summed np as follows: 1 “Women dress to please their hus bands, brothers and fathers. We see evidence of this every day. Almost every woman In buying clothes, especially evening gowns, pays great attention to what he would or would not like. “We shouldn't say women ever dress to attract men. They do dress to please them, however, and 'sacrifice their own preferences in so doing.” But in a pretty comprehensive canvass of leading women not one could be found who would say that they ever dressed to suit themselves. Man With Most ‘Gall’ POPLAR BLUFF. Mo., Dee. 22.—Deputy T* nit id States Marshal John Kennedy has found the man “that's got all (he gall In the world." “This man.” says Kennedy, “was fined S’JOO for violating Mr. Volstead’* law. He hasn’t paid the Government yet. The other day he came Into my office and ‘dnnned’ th- Government of the United States for 51.50 due him for his service n* a w'tness during a grand Jury session. My records show that I his bird has been paid $lO.lO ns a court witness during the present term."

I just see little things from time to time and I bay them an 1 i have them on hand when 1 want to make the children or Henry or his sister or my mother a present on their birthdays or Christmas, but this year T seem not to , havo done It, though when I looked through my drawers yesterday I found several purchases that will do very nicely and save me from buying anything now.'' j “I think It’s wonderful the xvi.y you plan, ’ the Bride went on I’m scrambling about at the last minute when I might , have taken a page out of yo'ur book about shopping.” Mrs. Hooper felt so helpless and Inadequate at the way her whol% domestic structure was ready to collapse because the underpinning of Henry's salary had been suddenly removed from beneath It that she couldn't listen to the Bride's | praises of h-r plans with the sailsfaetlon that had once been hers. She felt like crying right here on the street, she was still so unnerved by what had happened. Th Bride looked at her suddenly. “What is the matter. Mrs Hooper." she naked, anxiously.

By David Cory ” It was raining hard as Puss in Boots, Junior, and Tom Thumb towards the middle of the day arrived on the outskirts of a small village. Tu the distance they could hear the strokes of a hammer, and then, now and again, the whirr of a saw cutting into hard wood. “What's going on, I wonder?” said Tom Thumb: “sounds as if they were building a house.” “Don't know,” answered Puss, “but let’s hurry, for I am soaked to the skin.” On arriving in the village they saw what appeared to be an immense boat In the early stages of construction. It was being erected in the city square, the little park that stood in the midst of the stores and houses. Drawing nearer they heard a voice singing: “Noah of old did build an Ark Os spicy gopherwood and bark To float upon the deluge dark. Now on this Ark they had no sail. For it was made (and true the tale) Without a mast to break the gale.” And when Puss and Tom paused at the side of the Ark a kindly looking man stopped his hammering and said : "It's going to rain for forty days and forty nights. There's going to be an awful deluge. You’d better hang around Arkville and get aboard the Ark as soon as its finished. If you don’t you'll he drowned.” Puss Junior looked questioningly at Tom Thumb. “What's he saying?” he whispered. “He’s speaking the truth. I’m thinking.” answered Tom Thumb. ’’lt looks to me as if the rain were never going to ston.” “M.v good sir,” said Puss, turning to th man. “It seems to me your advice is good. We’ll stay in Arkville for a few days. But where shall we stop? Is there a hotel near?” "Over yonder is the Hotel Ark.” said the man. “I'ni the proprietor, and mv name is Noah. Go i n and make yourselves at home. My sons and I will follow you shortly. We have a few mom nails to drive before we quit for the day.’’— Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

Christmas Candies

PEANUT CANDY. Boil together two and one half cups of sugar and a gill of water, without stirring, until a little, when dropped into cold water, can be worked into a soft ball. Now add a tablespoonful of butter and boll until the candy hardens when dropped into cold water. Stir in a cupful of shelled, roasted and skinned peanuts, turn the mixture into butter pan and cut into squares. WHITE FONDANT. Two and one-half pounds granulated sugar: one and one fourth cups of hot water: one quarter level teaspoon of cream of tartar. Put ingredients in a granite stewpan.

Keep the sugar that adheres to (he side of the saucepan washed off with a pieco of cheesecloth dipped in cold water. Have ready a marble slab (or large porcelain platter) oiled with a little good olive oil (or butter), and as soon as the “soft ball’ is reached, pour slowly on slab. Let stand a few moments to cool. As soon as wrinklog form on tho top when it is disturbed it is ready to use. Do not let it become cold. Scrape to one end of the slab, nnd work with wooden spatula (or paddle) until white and creamy, and then knead with the hands until perfectly smooth. Put into wide mouthed glass jar or bowl, and cover with oiled paper or damp cloth to entirely exclude the air. or a crust will form on the top. Let stand for twentyfour hours, when it will be ready for use.

Beat the white of an egg very light with enough XXXX sugar to make it very stiff. Now add cream a few drops at a time, until the mixture is of the consistency of putty, working it with the bands until it is soft and smooth. Flavor with vanilla, or with lemon or orange Juice and the grated rind. Roll into small balls, flaten these, and press a half walnut on each side of every ball.
