YOU MIGHT resolve tomorrow to do some things as well as not to do some others. '■ ■ ■ A MAN has been fined 350 as a result of his wife's conversation. That . probably is not the first time she has talked him out of money. THOSE AVIATORS may have been in the air twenty-sir hours but with Christmas bills coming in there are others who will be “up in the air longer than that. THE REGRETTABLE THING is that Jim Lowry lacked the discernment to keep himseif in a position to be retained at work whiqjx he has performed so satisfactorily for so many years. The Transportation Problem In the first of what is to be hoped is a series of frank statements to the public, the Indianapolis Street Railway Company asks what is to be done about the transportation problem in Indianapolis. It declares that its sys*em must grow with the city, that it has no money with which to expand and that its resources are stretched to the limit to continue the operation of cars. The statements of the street car company are unquestionably true and there is no use to argue about how the company got into the present situ- j ation. The question is now, what is to be done to help the street car j company. We have in the past pointed out that if this company were relieved or all other obligations than that of operating a street railway it would find its revenue sufficient to make expansion possible. This, we believe, is the answer to the question raised by the street car company. It is a very poor system that throws the burden of street paving on the street car riders and makes of the company a tax collection agency for the municipality. It is hard to explain why the south side street car rider should contribute to the paving of North Illinois street. It is more aiffl-. cult to understand why the street car patron should contribute to the maintenance of the parks of the city, especially when such contributions deprive him of the car service he needs. The truth of the matter is that the franchise under which the street car company has been operating was wrong in principle and as big a handlcap to the city as to the company. It haß now been surrendered, as it . should have been years ago, and the time is ripe to negotiate a working agreement between the city and the car company under the terms of which Indianapolis can have good street car service and the company can exist. Indianapolis has enjoyed lower street car fares than almost every other city of the country throughout the war period. Low fares ought to be continued and can be continued if the proper judgment is shown by city offl- j cials and the proper spirit is shown by the car company. But neither the present officials of the street car company nor any others that might be selected can be expected to accomplish all that has been demanded of the company in the last ten years. The wonder is that fares have not gone higher and the company gone into the hands of a , receiver. It is true that something must be done about this transportation prob- j lem and done quickly. Asa first step toward relieving the company of an impossible burden what could be better than to allow it to put all of its revenue into the oper- j r.-.ion of a street railway system? Why expect the street car riders of Indianapolis to pay for new street paving and parks any more than the auto riders? ‘The Honest Waif Under the heading. “The Honest Way," the New York Times defines the attitude of the Democratic members of the United States Senate toward the work of the Washington conference, as follows: “The political integrity and good will of Mr. Underwood and the L.moruy Democrats of the Senate will not be in the slightest danger of ■ givu.3 way before the temptation to retaliate upon Mr. Lodge and the ‘ Administration by treating the international agreements originating in : the Washngton conference after the manner of the Republcans when they betrayed the hopes of the world by rejecting the Versailles treaty. “Taking the lowest possible view of the matter, for that is what the Republican opponents of the treaty of Versailles did, there is no ‘politics’ in opposing the treaties agreed upon or yet to be agreed upon by the conference. The Republicans knew that there were two large and welldefined bodiPs of voters in this country—one bitterly hostile to an allied power and the other affected by a friendly interest in one of the enemy powers—whose vote could be secured en bloc by the party rejecting the Versailles treaty. There is no such reason for opposition to the present i treaties. They are universally approved, they are welcomed and ap- • plauded by the intelligent public in every civilized land. Opposition is | manifested nowhere save by a few of the ancient spooks wandering ! in the senatorial graveyard of treaties, and they oppose chiefly from habit. ( “The Democrats of the Senate will support the new treaties because they promise to promote the peace of the world. They are being drawn up for good ends; they bring great nations nearer together in friendship and good will; they remove causes or rriction and difference. They are worthy of support. Mr. Underwood and his Democrat associa’tes will not follow the profoundly immoral and disastrous course taken by the Republicans.” Trained Diplomats In an Oklahoma speech in which he repeats his advice against hasty treaty making, Albert J. Beveridge says: "If we abandon our traditional policy of keeping out of foreign politics; if, instead, we are now to adopt the ancient European and Asiatic practice of political alliance, let us at least act like prudent and sensible men and vomen. If foreign political associations is to be our future policy, let us i rst transform our helter skelter and perpetually changing diplomatic \ stablishment into a permanent diplomatic system by which our diplo- j mats are carefully selected early in life and put through comprehensive, ! metriculous and prolonged training to equip them to hold their own with j diplomatic antagonists. Let us make American diplomacy a profession to J which talented men can devote themselves exclusively as a life career, ! as is done by every other nation with whom we deal diplomatically.” It would be well to accept this suggestion, for it is evident to every j uinking man that our “traditional policy” of keeping out of foreign politics ! is a thing of the past. No longer are we in “splendid isolation." No longer is it compatible with the safety of the country to refrain from participation in foreign politics. As the ex-Senator says, our diplomats should be equipped to “hold their own” with those of foreign countries, for as long as we remain a world power our iliplomats will have to test their wits w r ith those of foreign lands. Long Distance Flying The making of anew airplane endurance record such as was made at Mineola, N. Y., is of more consequence than merely a “stunt” flight. It is a real demonstratlcn of the development of the airplane and gives an indication of its possibilities. Eddie Stinson and Lloyd Bertaud, the men who piloted the plane through the endurance test, were in the air more than twenty-six hours and travelled 2,600 miles. They came down, not because they had to, but because they knew they had broken the world’s endurance record, according to reports. A continuous flight of 2,600 miles is a real accomplishment This is much more than the distance between America and Europe at the closest points. It means that it is entirely possible for a heavier than air machine to fly the Atlantic without undue difficulty. This feat has been accompllghed with a lighter than air craft, but not so satisfactorily accomplished with a heavier than air machine. The making of the new nonstop flight record is a step forward in the development of aeronautics. It probably will be the forerunner of much longer flights.

Keeping House With the Hoopers

Follow them dally iu au interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] FRIDAY. Mr. and Mrs. Hooper were seated together In their usual place beside the b g table in the living room. Roger and Helen had gone to an entertainment at the church with Mrs. Campbell and her family and Betty was nsieep upstairs. Mr. Hooper put down his paper and looked at his wife sadly. “It seems to me Mary that you will have to eoine to iny way of thinking. As I lold you I talked everything over with Mr. Allen and he agreed with me that this is probably my last chance to locate myself in a Job that has every possibiity of lasting for the rest of my life. I can't afford to refuse it." “Well, we can't live on SSO a week iu the city—with rent to pay and everything twice as expensive as it Is here," Insisted Mrs. lioper taking the stitches in her work unevenly because of the teas that dimmed her eyes '' “I know all those things Mary without your going over them again, but it can't be helped," Henry went on, “I've simply got to go where I can earn a living.'' "But what will we do with the house?" asked Mary ail her executive ability apparently destroyed by the disaster that had < vertaken them. “Kent It,” said Mr. Hooper practically. "We can pet fifty a month for it and that will help to pay rent in the city. Our food won’t cost any more if we are prepared for uwhile to live with less on the talile than wc have always had hero. Your operating expenses won't be any . _ Ye TOWNE GOSSIP Copyright, 1921. by Star Componj, By K. C. B. I*YE ,ICST read a story. IN GOOD Housekeeping BY A girl I know NAMED MARGARET Sangster.

''There's no sense In your thinking you can live cheap in a city.” "You’ll learn to adjust to it, Mary,” added Henry soothingly. “I feel certain that it isn't the problem of making ends meet in tho city that Is upsetting you so, but the idea that you have to give up your home and all your associations in Mayfield and begin over again in a strange place.” “I guess that is the main reason," confessed Mary, “that—and upsetting the children and putting them in new’ schools and going to a church that will have no friendly faces in the congregation—it all seems more than I can bear.”

Mr. Hooper had telephoned to Mr. Allen just before dinner aw he Itad promised he would and told him Hint after tnlktru the matter ov.-r with Mrs Hooper ho had decided to accept the position that had been offered liim in tho office of Mr Allen’s brother in a distant city “In spite . f M„. hardships of leaving Mayfield, I think you have decided wisely." Mr Allen tiad replied. There had then followed a long conversation the length of which worried Mr* Hooper when she thought of the long distance charge on her telephone bill, and when Henry came back Into the dining room he first inquiry was. “What in the world was Mr. Allen talking about so long?" “Well first he asked if I wanted to sell this house and if ho, Im* would like to have tlie first chance to buy if I would put a price on it.” answered Henry. "Sell the house,” gasp -d Mrs. Hooper. “We surely won'J have to do that f thought you saiil we’d rent it I surely want to come back here sometime." “Mr. Allen seems to think that wo won't come back to Mayfield and that the better way would tie to sell the place," said ltenry. “But I told him I knew yon wouldn’t consent to it-—at least not tilt we had another home somewhere.” “What did he say to our renting it Instead?” asked Mrs. Hooper. Well lie offered to send me a tenant from tho city, when T said we would rent It for fifty dollars a month; so that Is settle!.” “Was that all he said?” Inquired Mrs. Hooper. “Well, no," resumed Henry glancing at the children. He asked me very frank-

ly If I needed any money to move and get eet tied. The railroad fare alone will be nearly a hundred dollars, and if we move our furniture —as I suppose we will have to—the freight will be at least 550 more.” “A hundred and fifty dollars,” exclaimed Mrs. Hooper, in dismay. “We will never be able to pay it." “Oh, Mary!" said Mr. Hooper. “It just has to be managed as you very well know! There is only the question as to which is the best way to go about getting the money that we will need to make this move.” “Well it means going in debt, to start with,” said Mary despairingly, "and how -ve will live In a city with .fjiO dol-

lars a week and dehts to pay off as well. is more than 1 can see " “You'll find a way - ut of those and ffiruilioa. once we are settled," said Mr Hooper, cheerfully, "and Mr Alien sug geated one or two ways I v which money for our present needs could be obtain' and " "W! at did he advise?" inq-: red Mrs Hooper hopefully. “Either that I accept a personal 1 in from him and pay it off us I could,” tu-gau Mr. Hooper. “Oh.

Before going up to bed she had gone , over all her at counts carefully with Henry and he hud agreed with her that everything possible should ne paid up with the money that she had on hand us Lalunce in her various budgets and that the thousand dollars to be borrowed, would be used for all the expenses of moving and getting settled. She could then work out anew budget to fit the conditions of her new home on the bams or ms salary as she had always done, rimy both realized that it would be a much gn a ter problem than it had been in Mayii id, but that she would find a way Henry felt certain. “1 am to report for work in Jan. loth, that will give us only two weeks to move,” Henry reminded her. "I m rather glad I'll have so little time to think about it," was Mre. Hooper's final comment. "It feel liven now that my courage will fail me before 1 get everyhtlng torn up here that I have put together with such devoted care.

Perfume lamps fur milady's boudoir have become a fad here They are made of china, cloisenno or Dresden, in pastel shades. There is a small electric bulb which hangs down in the jar which is half filled with water. A few drops of perfume have been put in the water and ihe heat from the bulb makes a vapot which scents the room. At the same time the lamp give* forth a soft light It is a novelty which is having a great run Just at this time. The trend in styles in women’s gowns is headed more and more toward the plain idea. Frills are being dis< arded ly the better gown'd women. While they appear thin, they look perfection, and. in the vernacular, are “classy" from head to toe. Flesh colored stocking* are still very popular here. They are telling of a gendarme who advised a lady to put os: her hose.

By David Cory “A mooney old cat That lived on the dew Had six little kittens That nev-r would mew.” And 1 will tell you how Fuss Junior and little Tom Thumb found out this Silly old cat They were traveling along together, looking for adventure, when all of a sudden they heard a dreadful mewing It came from a little house thnt stood In plain sight close to the broad highway. "I hate to bear a kitten mew,” said Fuss Junior. "When a kitten purrs you know it is happy, but when it mews - ra-'thiiig's v. r :.g " "Then let's go over to the little house and find out what's the matter," said Turn Thumb. So he and Fuss Junior walked over and knocked at the door. But, oh, dear me! The sight that met their eyes when the door opened made them very angry. The "moony old cat” had Just returned from the village, "She bought a big bellows And blew in their ears. Then all mewed so loud It brought her to tears." "Stop: stop!' yelled Fuss Junior, “don’t you dare use those bellows again.” The “moony old cat'-’ looked frightened to death. Fuss Junior, sword in hand, and eyes flashing fire, would frighten any cat, whether it happened to !>e “moony” or not. Tom Thumb also had drawn his tiny sword and stood by Fuss Junior's side. And then the six little kittens ran over to Fuss Juniot and began to purr at a great rate. “How could you do such a cruel thing to these dear kitties?" he said, looking lit the “moony old cat." “Well, Eli tell you," she answered, “They did nothing but purr, purr all the time. They never would mew, no matter what t said, and every kitten certainly should learn how to mew. So I went to ihe village and bought a big bellows. I didn't think it would hurt them, but they mowed so loud it made me cry." “I'm glad it made you cry. Give me the bellows and promise me you'll never again hurl these dear little kittens.” And the the “moony old cat" handed the bellows to Puss and gave n!m her word she would never hurt her kittles again And after that Puss Junior and Tom Thumb bowed their way out of the front door and continued their journey of adventure.

INDIANAPOLIS CHURCHES GAIN LOOK TO FUTURE Secretary of Federation Reviews Religious Movements of the Year, BV Tnis REV. C. H. WINDERS, Executive Secretary of the Church Federation of Indianapolis. The Church Federation is a sort of a clearing house for the religious, social, i and civic interests of the city, and undertakes to do for these what the Chamber ;of Commerce does for he commercial interests. It is concerned with everything that affects the ‘ell-being of our citizens. It seeks to unite the church in sin h tasks as they can best accomplish I toge .er There are many big and Important local problems for each city to . solve. These i roblems can only be solved ■ by the neople who have the right motive and the right point of view. Not every ; church member is in possession of these, but they are possessed by every true i and intelligent Christian. The united church can best carry bn the work of evnng■■l.sin, of social and civic betterment, of law enforcement, and constantly keep before the public the loftiest i ideals for the home, the social life and : the life of young people. The val-ne of i this spirit of unity and cooperation has i been demonstrated a good many times in the past few years. It was the united church that rid the country of the saloon: that drove from practically every city iu tho land the segregated social vice; that is largely responsivle for the Disarmament Conference and for whatever good may result therefrom UNITED CHURCH TO KEEP NATION "DRY.” The united church reports for the year 1921 the largest number of additions to its membership of any year in its entire history. Only a united church will be able to keep this a saloonless nation by seeking to instill into our people - a : more profound regard for the Jaws of i our land, and especially for that fundamental law, the Constitution of the United States. Only a united church will save 03 from returning to the disgraceful day* of segregated, commercialized vice, and only a united chur h can save from commercialization of the one day in seven, set apart as sacred, for the purpose of cultivating that spirit and attitude, that set >e of human dignity and worth, based upm a living faith in God. on which all true human progress depends. This has been a good year for the Inlianapolis churches. A fine spirit of cooperation and good fellowship has obtain- .1 The churches have ail grown in number, in spiritual power, and in general efficiency. About 7.300 were added to the membership of the church during the year. Almost every denomination has had one or more church buildings in pr-.--e.ss of construction or enlargement. The salaries of ministers have been put on a more equitable basis, and the whole program of religion for the city has been enlarged and improved. I HI K( H.E> GENEROUS IN RELIEF REPORT. church s' have been wonderfully generous in their support of the relief work in behalf of the Near East, Central Europe, China and Russia. Doubtless during no previous year was there so much money contributed by the ehuren f r human betterment: and this is not "uly true of the Indianapolis churches, but of the churches throughout the whole ; country. The united church seeks to voice to the local public, through the Church Federation. anil to the entire country and •la world through the Federal Council it- oviotions and programs for the ! ,r -mi!, and its ideals and hopes for the future. - 'i !,- leaders of the chnrch were nerer so filled with hope as now; the voice of the church was never listened to with such profound respect and its counsels v-.-r- never followed with such confidence. i 'I he church recalls the parables of the mustard seed and the leaven, and sees sh- fulfillment of both of these in the steady progress it is making in getting principles and programs more favoratdy considered, and more generally adopted throughout the world. Ihe church sees in the conference now being held in Washington the application of its principles to international relations, and it is hopeful for the outcome, for it is certain that only in the application of these principles can a sointion to world problems be found. The church believes that ail other problems having to do with human relations, Whether it be the relations of Individuals, groups of individuals or nations, can be solved, and can only be solved, by this same process, and it believes that more and more the world is becoming conscious of this fact.
