IT will soon be time to think about those New Year’s resolutions. THERE WILL BE little objection to disputes among nations so long as they confine themselves to tongues and typewriters. Democratic Rehabilitation Reports that the “young bloods” of the Democratic party in Marion County are demanding a reorganization with a view to elimination of factions is welcome news to the thousands of Democrats who have been unable to see any prospects for their party under present conditions. It is welcome news because it is evidence that although the party has undergone some humiliating beatings there still exists in the hearts of its members courage and a strong desire to become worthy of the support of the community. A description of the wreck of the party in Marion County is unnecessary. A discussion of the causes is futile. Attention to the possibilities of rehabilitation and success only is profitable. That there is an element among the young voters of the community which is both militant and steadfast is easily recognized. It is around this nucleus that the new party must be formed. This does not mean that the old wheel horses who have persevered in their democracy for so many years under such discouraging circumstances should not be shown every possible consideration. Without their counsel and support the younger element can not progress. But it is also self-evident that to the younger element must go the organization with its arduous duties and its many perplexing problems. First of all, the eyes of a rehabilitated party must be turned to the goal of majority success. There must be far less coveting of the minority plums doled out by a successful opposition. The organization must be composed of men who are interested in seeing their party approach the point where it will command the situation rather than composed of men who are willing to accept defeat if only they can place themseh es or their friends in the minority positions offered by a successful opposition. The task of rehabilitating the Democratic party in this county is a very difficult one at this time. Samuel Lewis Shank has made it more difficult, for, as he says, if it had not been for Democratic support he would not have been the successful candidate tor mayor. Mr. Shank has rewarded many Democrats in the formulation of the personnel of his administration. He has declared for the abolishment of partisan lines in city affairs. His administration piomises to be one against which it would indeed be difficult to rally a party of opposition. The county and State primaries will form the first test of the proposed new organization. In the county there are no minority plums that might be distributed to the losers as balm for their lost efforts. Whoever makes the race on the Democratic ticket in the next election must win or lose without hope of recuperation in event of loss. There is no gainsaying that the pendulum is slowly swinging from the Republican party to the Democratic party in national affairs. This swing in public sentiment will have its effect in Indianapolis provided there is an opportunity afforded the voters to express it without at the same time giving indorsement to some things which the voters as a whole cannot countenance. Briefiy. the problem of the Democrats in Indianapolis is to create an organisation in which those voters who have heretofore voted with the Republicans can have faith. Foi obvious reasons such an organization must be composed of “young bloods.”

Farm Valuations It would stem 10 be a sound doctrine that teaches that property should not be valued tor taxation at a figure greater than the revenue to be obtained by intelligent use of that property. Throughout our whole tax history corporations have been valued with due regard to their earning capacity. The same arguments that have long been applied to corporations is now being applied to farm lands and there is a strong effort in this State to show that the depreciated value of farm products has depreciated th • value of arm lands to a point where wartime valuations to: taxing purposes are so high that the land will not earn the amount of taxes assessed against it. The plea meets with no favor at the hands of William A. Hough, member of the State tax board, concerning whom the Huntington Press days: \ “It was a rather startling statement that William A. Hough, member of State board of tax commissioners, made at the meeting of county assessors and members of the State board, when he asserted that the sale\price of farm products do not affect the value of lands. He was speaking in opposition to a request from the farmers’ organizations, asking tbfct the valuation of farm lands be reduced. “The high valuation of farm lands in Indiana came with the high prices for farm commodities, paid when a large, part of the world had put its man power into the world war, when labor was limited, and when the man power of the farm was reduced. Would Mr. Hough assert that this was all a coincidence? Would he contend that it just happened that the increased valuation of fa-m lands came with the increased price of farm crops? “We all know that in such a contention he would be laughed out by any audience of farmers or business men. The actual selling price of farms Was based on the high prices paid for farm products. Land went to S3OO an acre because during the war it could earn a reasonable income on that amount of invested capital.. But when the prices dropped it was a different story. Would Mr. Hough assert that farms were worth no more with oats at a dollar than with oats at 25 cents? Yet he makes a statement to that effect when he says that the valuation of farm land is not affected by the price paid for the products of farm land.'’ The Four-Power Pact In discussing the differences in the interpretation of the treaty negotiated at the Washington conference, which seems to have been construed by the conference as meaning that protection was accorded to Japan by its terms and construed by President Harding not to apply to Japan, the Ft. Wayne Journel-Gazette says: “But now we know and it is to he hoped that the President knows that Japan is included in the protection provided by the treaty. We have no objections, but the President and his co-workers one year ago had serious objections to anything of the sort. “But why is it that the American people are not told? “When Henry Cabot Lodge presented and explained the treaty, why did he so skillfully evade this explanation? “If Mr. Hughes understands the treaty to mean someone thing, it must follow that Mr. Root and Mr. Underwood and even Mr. Lodge understood it to mean the same thing. And if Lodge understood it to mean the protection of the mainland, why is it that he tried to humbug the people with his speech? “Are there any more jokers in the treaty? “Any more two-edged meanings? “Any more secret conference secrets of which the mere people are kept in ignorance? “Os one thing we may be sure: During the secret discussions of the treaty there cannot be a scintilla of doubt but that this point was discussed in detail and that a very definite understanding was reached as to interpretation. <r Why, then, are the people deprived of that interpretation? “Are the American delegates not only concealing important matters Jrom the people, but fxom the as well?’’

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 the!. - home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] TUESDAY. Mrs. Hooper had to put in another long anxious day trying to plan what would be best to do if worst came to the worst and Henry could really find no job. After her washing was finished and the children's luncheon over she had taken Betty upstairs for her nap and then instead of lying down herself for her usual half hour of rest she had gone carefully over her accounts. In her shelter budget there was a balance of about a hundred and twenty-five dollars, every cent of which must be paid out next month for taxes, insurance and the few repairs to the bouse that were always necessary to keep things in condition for the rest of the winter. There was a balance of another hundred dollars in the clothing account, a large part of which she had intended to put into clothes for Hoger and nenry as soon as the suits and overcoats were put on sale in the stores in Mayfield. It was the hundred dollars or so investment In clothes in the early spring and late summer when wearing apparel of all kinds could be purchased at a bargain that had always kept the Hooper family so remarkably well dressed. If necessary now, of course, she could conserve that clothing balance and divert it to food. She had less than twenty five dollars surplus in her operating expense account and she still owed $42.50 on her washing machine. In the advancement account there was less than $lO and hero was a balance of SOO still to be paid on (he doctor’s bill. The savings account showed a surplus of SOO but half of that would have to be paid on Henry's life insuriince policy on January loth, as her arrangement had been to pay SOO premium on July 15th and sto on January 15th of each year There were the two Liberty bonds.

which if sold would not bring their face ’ value of a hundred dollars, but they were 1 worth much more than they had been for nearly a year and the Indebtedness to the doctor could be wiped out at once by their sale. What she tried to figure out was whether It would be wiser to pay everything up and use her credit for a while in the stores In Mayfield or to live along for a few weeks on the surplus from her various accounts which in nn emergency of this kind she felt justified j in bulking and i sing for food and operat- j ing expenses.

After thinking it over for a long time she decided to take some of the clothing money and pay up the balance on the washing machine and

CANTOR SHAKES THE ROOF WITH‘ALL BY MYSELF’ Swor Leads Minstrels—lnformal Vaudeville—Jazz Band on View

“All by Myself.” That’s the jazz classic of modern swing which halts the Eddie Cantor show. It was evident last night at the Murat that Cantor could sin's for hours before the big audience, if his physical eni durance would hold out for that long a | time. Cantor was more than generous. The spirit of the night or the day seemed to get Into him last night and he put on a whale of a show. His confederates caught the holiday spirit and aided Cantor in ringing up one of the most solid Hits I have witnessed this season. This man Cantor seems to know what the people want in the song line and he delivers it in bushel baskets of energy, lie is tireless in Ids efforts to please. At times his comedy- is more than rapid—it is fast, but before it soaks in. he Is hurling another bombardment of even faster stuff at you. Ills efforts are not confined to melody but his comedy hits the mark. His ■ winning song is called “All by Myself” ; and you will never hear a choir sing it, : but ttie audience last night nearly made la Christmas carol out of that number. The audience demanded "After the Ball I Is Over,” "Mu” and other jazz volcanoes. His comedy tniumphs were as the salesman in a rich lit called “Joe’s Blue Front,” a travesty on the way clothes may be sold—in certain quarters in New York. In this he has the assistance of Charles Wheeler, Lew Hearn and Joe Opp. It is one of tti erichest travesties in the show. Another knoek-out. where the speed clutch Is thrown away and the comedy becomes rather hroad and boisterous. is called "Life Insurance." In this riot, Cantor is a patient being examined by a doctor preparatory to taking out. insurance. It's wild but great fun. Cantor is busy many other times during ttie show. Last night he even gave more than the program called for. Cantor lives up to tlie title of the show—- “ Midnight Bounders.” I probably should tell you more about Cantor hut why take up the time. It is Cantor and It Is ('ai)tor at his best. What more • an lie asked? Nun Hulperin is in the cast and what I have to say about this clever woman will be found under her picture in this department. I am not going to attempt to go into detail about this whale of a show. It's magnitude can be conceived if you can Imagine three Follies in one. That's a hard task but this Cantor show appeals lo me that way. There is so much to tills show and it moves like a storm. On- - good turn blows on the stage. Bang! .■mother "The Midnight Bounders'' is tlie hippodrome of the revues. A few of the individuals who exhibit themselves with more than average satis faction are Joe opp. Charles Wheeler, Lillian Washburn. Muriel !>e Forrest ta pleasing little person who appears in many beautiful song pictures). Harry Kelly, Aileo Kldnor and a flock of others. Y.>ti will realise what a task it is to review tliis show, as tlie first net is in seventeen sunes and the last net is in an even dozen And the company is working every minute of the time. Louis *ir- ss Is in chargee of the or•hoKirn Here is a director who radiates pop in every on of the round.-rs He knows how to put nn actor to work, •lust v.at.h him pull the melody out of the or wil and watch the pep radiate from the stage. One has to lie a fast stepper to l.n p up with this director. I [ robahiy haven't told you half enough about tins revue, it is so far ttpet >r to "Tickle ins." which was at ti.e Mura: tie last half of last week that I shouldn't mention it. Midnight flounders” is the fastest moving show I ever have seen. The air's do not strut about in naked limbs and they are never offensive, although they made many excursions down into the audience It's a well mannered, lively, rapid, beautiful and peppy :'un. I have no doubt that capacity will be t! rale at the Murat for the greater part ..f the wo. k. As they said before Christ n: s your box office shopping early. <'. ntor and ids Bounders remain on v!.-w all week at the Murat. -W. D. II IV FORMAL V \t DKVILT.E NOW ON VIEW AT KEITH'S. It seems that everybody and everything gets along bet'er at lb F Keiths this week than the so-called headline act, meaning Mies Jo;., yhine Victor and company In “Juliet and Romeo." Now this t s'rlctly the bard, although it opens like *t. I'irst I am going to tell of things that I like. In the first place let me make it chair that if I get .ill mixed up in this review, don't blame me. 1 am generally a little late ge’ting to Keith’s and tlie hardest tiling I have to do Is to get a program. Yesterday th usher who rushed )ho to my seat after the first act was over, <1 .! not appear to have the Christmas spirit and no program was forthcoming. When the show was over, a woman sitting near me carelessly threw her program to the floor. I Just had to have a show menu and so I started the Janitor stunt and began picking up programs until I found a whole one. After finding said program ! discovered that there are three nets of nn informal nature v '. ieh registered solidly <>n a bill not famous for names I give first place to I'd lbnly end Allan Cross <1 think T im right on the na: e of this not.) Th-'se men have a sort of pleasing way in putting over their songs. They close in av rj • i ve- presentation of some old songs, ending w'th modern jazz. Another informal offering was that of Raymond 'Vyl'e and Marie Hartman in "Before and After.” Tlie woman does lots of shouting but the shouting Seemed to cause the audience yesterday to laugh anil enjoy themselves. It's hokum but this team knows how to put It over. The most informal net on the bill Is called "A Study In Fop” and 1s presented by Earl Pearson. Cleo Newport and ('art Pearson. Here “atn” bushels of nut stuff, but this trio knows how i to tie up a modern vaudeville audience ! in a laugh panic. The Jenneys open the show with some clever shadow work. I only saw the last part of this act, but their work is finished. Tills ret will delight the 1 children. The more i look at the program tlie more I atn confused about Dave Seed and Ralph Austin. This is no reflection on the act. but believe me if x had had a program during the show this confusion would not. have happened.

SHE IS HUNGRY

NAN HALFKRIN. Here is Miss Ilalperin who is one of the real features of “The Midnight Kounders,” now at the Murat. She admits in her famous “kid” song that she is “hungry and mad.” This song is true art She is also at her best ns Mile. La La In a travesty on the stage door Johnny. Miss Ilalperin is one of tho many good reasons why one should visit the Murat this week. Page, Mack and Mark close the show in nn acrobatic offering. Miss Josephine Victor and company appears in a sketch called “Juliet and Romeo,” the program stating it is by Harry Wagstaff Cribble. Griltble was a member, if I am not mistaken, for a short time with the Gregory Kelly stock company at English's this season. The sketch opens with the tomb scene from “Romeo and Juliet" and then after one member of the company has asked tlie audience for applause (I don't have to have a program to remember that) the scene shifts to the dressing room ol Juliet. There Romeo and Juliet stage a verbal encounter In other words, they are Jealous of each other and they “tight it out” until they see how foolish such things are. At Keith's all week —W. D. H. -|. .t. TONS OF HARMONY NOW AT ENGLISH’S. 11-A-K M O-N-Y spells A!. G. Field Minstr.ds this season, per usual. There's misie tu opera, melody In musical comedy, syncopation in the Follies, but when it comes to real, honest-to-goodness close harmony and lots es It. the Minstrels get the palm. So if you're tired of plot* and plays and the Intricacies that mark the modern drama and the movies tire your eyes, you can find a change a’ English's today and tomorrow, run around and spend a couple of hours with the old gang, there's a lot of new songs, together with n few old ones, a generous sprinkling of snappy jokes, last minute ones, and perhaps some good old everlastings, together with a variety of Innovations iu scenic effects. Bert Swor steals most of the thunder with his blackface “stunts." Asa judge, and an "African ace” perhaps he scored his biggest triumphs, and also kept the audience iu a gale of laughter with his •‘.Alabama Bound” monolog. Jimmie Cooper and Body Jordan as end men. dolled up in red satin, put over a good line in “peppy” fashion. Jack Richards, who has a well-trained, pleasing voire, earn; in for his share of enthusiastic welcome. He sang “I’ll Forget You,” “Mollle Darling.” a medley of old tunes and the popular hit, “I'll Think of You,” aided by the minstrels, which were all encored vigorously. Rody Cooper. with ids unique version of t'.ie touching little ballad. "'He's in the Jail House Now;" Oia Eliwood, who yodleil through the "Call of the Wind” most es fectlvely, and Billy Church, singing "I Didn't I'nderstand." all acquitted tlieiuselv in merry manner. Honi Mack did some good stepping which, by the way, was one of the harmonious features <>f the show, the sleeping, for the chorus together with tlie principals, all shook “wicked hoots. And let we forget, old Black Joe was there — Jack Mealy, with ids rheumatic dancing and feeble gait, giving classic characterization of the old chap, tho chorus coming in strong with the “I'm Coming.” “Black vs. Blue.” Swor's latest •‘laugh producer,” showed a Southern courtroom with Swor as judge and the various prisoners assembled together with the Jury and attorneys. Most of the jokes run nlong the common trend of the cellar thought., and the Sunday blue lairs serve as tii> subject of some witticisms, the Judge finally leaving the eourt to try a “new case on the outside," belonging, as it were, to friend lawyer. “Tlie Hunt” was a divertisement. with life size “wild animals." red coated huntsman and a possum. Ilie dancing cinnamon bears, the Doran brothers and Boni Mack as the goddess of the woods, do some clever dancing against an effective forest setting One of the best acts was the Saxoland Four's toe-tickling saxophoning. The

boys are a live-wire quartette and their instrumental numbers had a tendency to keep the audience swaying in their seats. The finale “Around the World in Thirty Minutes” which is “traveling some” but you make it with Bert Swor as pilot, is cleverly staged and the ascending airplane goes up in a realistic fashion. In Scotland one is given a littio more of the rock and rye humour, and in Japan, an artistic setting clever dancing and a splendidly-sung duet by Jack Richards and Billy Church added the last note to an entertaining afternoon. At English's today and Wednesday. -I- -i- -IA JAZZY RAND JAZZES AT THE LYRIC. Like jazz music? Then the Lyric is the place for you this week where Giersdorf's band of ten pieces is jazzing the roof off the place. Verily, I say to you that this is just about the jazziest combination of musical instruments I have heard in many a day. Before an elaborate velvet drop (think it is velvet) these musicians play modern jazz music in tlie jazziest fashion. They sway to and fro with the music and before on e knows it, he is swaying in his seat. This band is a large and capable organization, way above the average seen on the popular vaudeville stage. The act also includes a dancer. The saxophone solo is one of the features of the a;i. The saxophone used is one of those “elephantine” affairs, it being about as tall as the man who plays it. This act will appeal to the majority of vaudeville patrons. Lillitta and company appear iq what is termed “A Breath of Hawaii.” Dtir-. ing the course of the act, the woman member appears in a white shredded wheat dress and goes through some revolutionary motions until I feared that tlie hay stark which hung from her hips must surely fall to pieces. But it didn't. She did not loose a single straw. Marker and Sebenck offer songs and comedy, during which the man appears ns a sort of a rural character. If their comedy compared with their singing this act would come mighty close to monopolizing the applause honors of the show. .liters. Hopkins and Churchill, a singing trio, possess good singing voices. Their numbers are well selected with the exception of an ecore number In which one of the men wears a woman’s bat and skips acros sthe stage. Why ruin a perfectly good act with such silly stuff? An act called “Caroline,” serves to Introduce two black-face entertainers in songs, dances and some conversational observances. The woman in this act wears some stunning gowns. The Joe Dekos Troupe, acrobatic jugglers of human beings, are an added feature attraction on this week's big bill. Then there is Arnold and ManloU in “Why Worry,’’ and also Francis and Wilson in “Dp and Down.” The bill shapes up as a cracking good holiday offering. At the Lyric all week.— W. D. H. -I- -I- -!- “THE PACEMAKERS” SET A LIVELY PACE. Speaking of speed, there is plenty of the six-cylinder variety at the L’ark this week, where “The I’acemakers” Is holding out. At the time this show was reviewed the house was packed. The > show is constructed upon the plan of a song and then the comedians, another song and the funmakers are on the stage again. It seems to us that the men of this organization are far superior to the women. Jack Lamont and Billy Mifflin carry the major part of the comedy. At times the comedy is of the rapid sort. The old watch stunt of a woman wearing a number of timepieces on her right limb is used this year. How time does travel. The Russell Sisters stage a pleasing dance and song specialty in the first act. They work with energy and please. Miss Lida Kldredge sings a number of song specialties during the course of the show. A sort of a lullaby number in the first act receives more than a favorable reception. The real pace of the show is exhibited when Miss Frances Farr and a chorus sing “Strut. Miss Lizzie." Judging by tlie way the girls shook their shoulders, the song should have been named “Shake, Miss Lizzie, Shake.” It is surely a shimmy-shaking crew. It held up the show. The show is in two parts, with the comedians holding the stage the greater part of the time. Those who have complained in the past that the comedians in this class of shows haven’t enough to do will find mm h to their liking this week at the Park. -|- -|- ON VIEW TODAY.

This is a good way to use left-over turkey, if there is a sightly half to be set on again: Into a buttered bake dish put a layer of turkey, cut (not chopped) into halfinch lengths. Drops bits of butter over it, but. no other seasoning. Cover with minced, cooked sausage meat and this with three or four olives, chopped fine. Proceed in this way until the dish is ready for the crust. Pour in a cupful of rich gravy, made of bones and stuffing. Cover with a good biscuit dough half an inch thick; cut a hole in the middle and bake, covered, three-quarters of an hour, then brown. SWISS FRITTERS. Slice stale bread nearly an Inch thick, cut round with a cake cutter, and fry quickly in deep hot fat. Drop each round, as soon as done, into boiling water for one second, to remove superfluous grease. Spread the fritters, as fast as the> are fried and dipped, with powdered sugar, wet with lemon juice. Cover and keepi hot until needed.
