Women Voters League Puts Out Queries Members Asked to Say What Part They Are Playing in Civic Affairs. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. Some very pertinent questions are asked by the Indianapolis League of Women Voters in a letter sent out by the league to local women. The women are asked what part they are playing and what interest they are taking in civic affairs. The letter says, in part: “Recently the new city officials took office and the new city council held its first meeting. Were you there? Your Interests indicate that you should have been, for these people will manage your city, the big corporation in which you are a vitally interested stockholder, and will spend your money, directly or indirectly, doing it. “The park board, the board of works, the board of safety, and the board of sanitary commissioners held meetings. Were you there? Your interests were under discussion there, for those boards have charge of lighting, paving and policing your streets, collecting your ashes and garbage and providing your recreation. “Recently the public service commission held a hearing on the asked-for increase in telephone rates. Were you there}* " Then the letter points out that while women might find it impossible to attend so many meetings in person, a membership in the league practically means attendance at every important meeting of these government boards. The league sends representatives to , vfiiy meeting of all the governmental organizations and a report is made to the league members. In this way the women are in close touch with civic affr irs. That the league would choose wisely in its representatives to attend these meetings is well known and great good in various directions has been accomplished through attention paid to forwarding wholesome civic efforts. The league will hold its January meeting Friday and Charles F. Coffin, president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, will speak on the subject “Civic Opportunities." The unemployment problem will receive the attention of the league at its February meeting and food distribution at the March meeting, all vital and current topics which women should turn out in great numbers to hear discussed.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. Br TlxM Cory When the policeman arrived at the barber shop the Pig Without a Wig was already eeated In the chair. Under bis neck was tucked a clean, white towel and over hls fat chin was spread a snowy latter. The barber, with razor In hand, wag Just about to commence, remarking as he turned tbe Pig’s head to one side with a gentle push, “Your beard Is very rough, Mr. Pig.” “Never mind how rough It Is, bnt see that you hurry," said the policeman. “This Pig’s friends are waiting for him. One of them Is Tom Thumb, from the court of King Arthur. The leader is Puss In Boots Junior on hls Good Gray Horse. The Robin of Mother Goose fame is one of the party, as is also Buff the Dog, who spilt hls master’s snuff.” “Enough! enough!" cried the barber. “ Tis no easy Job to shave a pig. Say no more, else I may cut his throat.” At these words the pig gave a dreadful grunt. “Be careful! don’t move!” cried the barber, “you'll Jostle my hand.” And after that the pig kept very still, you may be sure. “Bay rum or witch hazel ?” asked the barber. And pretty soon Mr. rig sat up. “Now, Barber," he said. “I want that wig. According to Mother Goose, “Four and twenty hairs will make a wig. Did you get as many as two dozen hairs off my chin?" “More than that," replied the barber?” “Well, get to work on the wig," cried the Pig, "I must have It before 1 leave. “But your friends are Impatient," cried

The policeman turned around and opened the door. “I will tell your comrades that you will be with them soon," he said. “But remember, if they don't wait that I did my duty, and don’t blame me." “Get your coat on. Mr. Tig,” said the barber; "your wig will be finished by that time. I hope it will become you I" “Becoming or not," said the pig as he polled on his coat, “it will protect my bald head. It will also prevent much ridicule, for whenever I’m polite and doff my hat I am laughed at on account of my baldness." “Let me pnt It on for yon," said the barber. Carefully he placed the wig upon Mr. Tig's head, who surveyed himself in the long mirror, and then, with a grunt of satisfaction, he put on his high hat.

Girls 9 Feet , Brought Out in Front , Call for Foot Millinery CHICAGO, Jan. IL—Girls, you are way out of date if you still wear shoes. Feet should be covered with foot millinery, or you may as well go barefooted. That is, If you are a stickler for style. Shoe merchants, from those on Fifth avenue to the one at the cross roads junction, agreed In this today at the style revue of the National Shoe Retailers' Association. Short skirts have brought the feet of American girls and women out In front and have made It necessary to adorn them exquisitely according to A E. Bancroft, Boston manufacturer. “It used to be that anything that kept the feet warm and dry was all right for women,” said Bancroft. “That was back in the days when shoes were called footwear. “Mere covering of the feet is not the only thing now. Foot millinery now m'ust fit into the general ensemble of a woman’s appearance with the short skirt.”

Golden Rule Urged in Children’s Care In Infections and contagious diseases, every mother should remember this paraphrase of the golden rule: “Do yourself what you would desire of another wb s child might be a source ol danger t our own family.” The spreading of moat diseases is due to carelessness. As it Is often Impossible In the beginning to distinguish between the infections and non-ln-feetions, It Is wise to separate children until the true nature of the disease Is known. If found to be Infectious or contagious, the separation must be Wept up until there is no danger of giving It to others. Select a room with bare floor In order that It may be mopped every second or third day with carbolic solution 1-40. Tho dusting should also be done with a I cloth dampened with this solution. If the I disease is highly contagious, further precautions may be taken by hanging up a sheet dumpened In 1-20 carbolic In the line of air-currents—Mary K. Bayley, U. N\ in tho February Designer.

u nited Looters, Inc. □ By Ralpk Cummins El

I Editor’s Note* —Tills now story of daring intrigue will hold your Interest from beginning to the close. Interwoven with the fabric of the tale Is a genuine romance which Is well worth reading. Start iin with the first of the story today. CHAPTER I. From the very first the idea of Impersonating a paroled convict and engaging In a battle of wits with a mysterious criminal organization had appealed to me. Ten years in the business had not lessened my boyish love of adventure, or cooled the tingling thrills that came from working my way out of a tight place. Still I was far from the story-book picture of a successful detective. I could not read the history of a man from his discarded cigarette, or deduce the motive for a crime from the color of the victim's necktie, but when It came to getting Inside my opponent’s guard and taking long chances at close range, I wa* in my element aud I usually won. So It was with nerves a-tingle with an eager anticipation, that I finally tested the theory that had taken me by the hobo route from the gates of a Middle West prison to the water front of Seattle. I had learned everything that a stool pigeon, well In his confidence, could discover about Sam Derby, the defaulting teller of the Enderly bank. I had even studied tho man I was to double for at close range Inside the gloomy prison walls. Finally, I had reached Seattle and had Inserted a "personal" In the Intelligencer. Now. as I walked down the dark, water front street, I felt that my first test was near—for I was being followed. Under the next street light a slim young man In a floppy cap accosted me. “Got a match?” he asked. The game was on at last! I took from my pocket the tiny piece of whittled wood that I had been carrying alnce I reached Seattle, and handed It over The young roan gave It a quick glance and scratched It upon the sole of his shoe.

“It's no good," ho grunted. “Try the other end," I suggested. He did not follow my suggestion. Instead he dropped the fake match Into his pocket, produced a box of safeties and lighted his cigarette. All the while I could see his sharp eyes boring Into me. "Yon seem to be the man Tm after," he said at last. "Come on.” We walked together to n corner drug store where my companion entered a booth and telephoned to someone. When he came out he led the wav Into a very dark side street and finally turned In at an area gate. We stumbled up a gloomy stairway and passed Into a hall lighted by a gaa Jot. My guide rapped upon n door then turned tho knob and entered. All at once I was at ease. The nervowreoktng monotony of tny voluntary Imprisonment and the misery of the cold box car ride* were forgotten in the thrill of nearnesa to my adventure. When 1 certild see in tho gloom of the barely furnished room. I was conscious of a big man sitting on the bed. He was dressed la overalls, but there was something about tho smoothness of his fat face, the np-to-date cut of his sandy hair and the easy manner In which he rose at out entrance that told me plainly that he was dressed for the occasion. “nere's your man. Merry," Introduced my guide. The big man nodded to roe and Indicated a rickety chair, but he did not offer bit hand. “Stick around outside. Bob." he ordered the younger nian. “Now"—when we were alone—“toll ms why you came to Seattle." "I came to collect a commission on some business that I did for the United Syndicate a year ago." The man's heavy eyes bored Into ne. “How much 1s coming to you?" “About twenty-three thousand." “What's your name?” “Sam Derby was my latest one." I replied with a meaning grin My questioner seemed to relax a little and I was sure I had passed the critical polnnt I had feared that I would have to face someone who had known Derby In the past, but as far as I could see neither of these two knew him by sight. But if I thought my examination was ended I was mistaken. The big man took a folded sheet of notepaper from hls pocket and smoothed It on his knee. “My name’s Merriman," be said looking up at me with a comradely frin. “My Job now lg to make sure that yon are Sam Derby. Where, were you born?" At once ! knew that I was in for it, and I was mighty glad I had spent long hours studying Bill Graham's report. "Hoboken,” I replied quickly. “What was your father's name?” “James J. Clancy.” I thanked the stars for Bill Graham's thoroughness in al! that he does. "Where did you go from Hoboken ?" “My mother died when I was ten. Then wo moved up into New York State—to a little town called Monroe. The old man got a job on the railroad.” Followed a dozen or more qnetlons, then-— — “What the circumstances of yotir first employment by tho United Sjndleate?” “I was down and out In lieno. A fellow picked mo tip and wo got pretty thick. Finally he told me that he could get mo a good job tn a bank. He took mo to a man named Foster, who said he was the agent of a peculiar organization called tho United Syndicate. After several conferences Foster made me a proposition." “Foster was to provide mo with all

the credential* necessary to get a bank job. Then he was to line up the position so I could step right into it. I was to take the job and keep my eyes open. When I had things fixed so that I could get sway with a substantial amount of currency I was to notify Foster, who would arrange plans for my get-away. Immediately after I made the haul I was to have twenty-liv* per cent of all I took, my share to be sent to me as soon as 1 reached safety." The big man nodded. I took a fresh grip on my memory and my Imagination and went on; “I got the teller's Job In the Miners Rank at Granite City, Nevada. It was a little bank and I had all sorts of chances. Inside of a month I bad made a haul of sixty thousand, had turned it over to Foster and had made my getaway. I made It to the coast, boarded a boat for South America, and later hit it across to England, and finally wound up In Pgris." “How did you collect your share!" “When I reached Paris I wrote to Foster by way of a want ad box number. He sent me a thousand a month for a year. Then I returned and was given another Job.”

“Let's hear about that" “I had Instructions when I left Paris to go to Chicago, and put a certain ad in a certain morning paper. A man who called himself Boone picked me up, carted me all over the Middle West and at last lined me up for a Job with the Enderly Bank at Preston, a little fanning town up In the wheat country. It took me a rear to work up to where 1 could get hold of enough money to make a haul. I did It at last—got out with nearly a hundred thousand. I turned It over to Boone, but I was caught by the indemlty company’s detectives.” Merriman relaxed and slipped the paper Into hls pocket. Something that was almost a friendly Interest came into {lls little eyes. “Well, we got yon out ” “Not so you’d notice*" I pnt In quickly. “I got myself out.” “How's that?” I grinned. “The indemnity people had a man In with me for three months." I chuckled as If at a pleasant reminiscence. "That's how I happened to be here. I bought the bird and be worked the parole scheme to get me out." “You bought him?” “Sure—l offered him SIO,OOO to be paid after 1 dug up my cache. He fell for It—and I've got to make good to him. How about collecting my little bit?" “It's ready for you any time. Bnt ; maybe that was a scheme to get you out so you could be followed to your cache," | “I thought of that, but no one followed me." “Well, what do yon figure on doing, now?" “I want to take a rest. I feel like I could hunt and fish for a year.” “All right. I don’t blame you. Now, it’ll be a we* k before I can get you your money. Tn the meantime here's a’ couple of hundred. G<t out of town and start your resting. Come back a week from tonight and walk down Water street at 7 o’clock." We went out together. Merriman said 1 good night at the corner and I returned I to my room. The game was on.

CHAPTER 11. I had been with the International Fidelity Company for six yeara. I had made good in a big majority of my cases, so it was only natural, when the Intematlnal waa badly hit by a mysterious wave of bank defalcations, that I should be put upon the case. bam Derby had been a saving* teller In the little Enderly bank. lie had Flipped out of the bank one Saturday afternoon with $90,000 In a paper bag. He had been caught at Galvpston, the following Wednesday on board a tramp freighter bound for Rio. But the $90,000 had not been found. The robbery of the Enderly bank had come us a climax to an epidemic of such cases, In each one of which a trusted employe had made away with a big haul. A number of the defaulters had been caught and convicted, but in no instance bad the money been recovered. And in no case, nntll we worked upon Ram Derby by means of Bill Graham, bad there been any results from the efforts to make the looters tell what had been done with the proceeds of their crimes. But I had arranged to get Bin Graham into the prison with Sam Derby. Bill had camped on the job for three months —and had brought me an astounding story. Derby had been employed by a syndicate organized to plunder financial Institutions through trusted employes, who were paid a share of the thefts. The bulk of the income went to the syndicate to pay for the system and the protection. Derby had made his haul and had turned the entire amount over to a man he had known as Boone immediately after he had taken It from the bank. He was later to receive 25 per cent of the haul. Thinking of that twenty-three thousand dollars that he had coming from the Syndicate made Derby sore, for It looked as if hla employers hod deserted him with the object of keeping his bit as an additional profit. So Derby planned for Bill Graham, who was, of course, due for parole, to collect that pile and spend whatever was necessary to get. him out. In the end he had told Graham everything he knew, with the understanding that Bill would get In

touch with the Syndicate and collect for him. So, within an hour of the time Sam Derby was released, the paroled embezzler was an enforced guest of out j company In an isolated cabin. I had stepped Into his identity and vas ou my way to seek the big adventure. Following my meeting with Merriman In Seattle, I spent a restful week In a little lumber town up on the Sound. In the hope of furthering my plan to get at once Into harness, I allowed my mustache to grow, and made efforts to tan off some of the bleached-out appearance that represented prison pallor. At the appointed time and place I was accosted by the young man I had met before. ‘•Hello,’* he greeted roe. “How’s tricks?" He led me to a vacant room In a rattletrap old house where we were shortly joined by Merriman. The big man had merely put a shabby old overcoat over a business suit. He me me with a friend ly handclasp and I thought his manner held an eager desire to win my good will. “You're looking fine.” he said heartily. “Why, a couple of weeks more and you'll be In shape to take on some--1 thing.” 1 endeavored to show a natural reluctance to the thought of working so soon after my experience, and with a comfortable piece of change still unspent. ; “I've got to have that hunting trip,” I said. “Oh, sure, I know how you feel, but boro's the Idea. The big boss 1s tickled to death the way you've handled yourself In this prison deal. Not one man In a thousand would have had the brains to work that parole scheme the way you did. To show how you stand with the Syndicate, the boss has Instructed me to give you the extra ten thousand to send to the lad that helped you out." “That's white of him," I said. “But he's got something big on for you. I don't know just what it is myself, but It’s bigger than anything you’ve tackled, nud if you go through with It right you'll never have to work at anything again.” “That part sounds good,” I returned, “but Ive got to have that vacation trip." "Sure, take your trip.” He pulled out a big wallet and counted out a sheaf of yellowbacks. “You have twenty-three thousand coming from the deal—and the ten thousand for hls ntbbs makes thirtythree." He handed me the money. I counted the bills and stowed them In my pocket. It might seem that the thrill of knowing that I was well on the right track would have made me nervous, but it did not I was perfectly cool as I accepted Merrlman’s proffered cigar and lighted It from the match he held. “Well," he suggested, “what you say we make an appointment for one month from today ?" “How about two?" I countered, hoping that he would urge against it. And he did. “This Is a pretty big deal and time has something to do with It The boss said he'd like to have you report In two weeks, but I think a month would do If you’d say you'd be all ready at that time. Then we’d have everything arranged for you to step right Into the job." In the end I agreed to return to Peattle upon a certain day one month later. In the meantime the underground wheels— i that would make of me a respectable i bank clerk —would be grinding out a new name and anew identity, and a history of previous employment that would stand the closest Incest igatlon.

I “Well I'm glad it Is all decided at last," said Mrs. Hooper as she sanE back In the easy chair In the livingroom. Henry had Just come back from ibe front door after showing Mr. ana j Mrs. Selden out. When the uew question of bnying | tho furniture rather than renting the place furnished had come up when Mrs. Hooper had called Mr. Selden np on the l telephone last night they had decided to come down again and talk the matter over. The conference had Just closed and Mrs. Hooper sat with the signed lease In her hands which had put tbe bouse Into the keeping of the Seldens for a year with the option of renttng it for a second year If they should decide that they wanted to s - ay longer In Mayfield. At first Mrs. Selden had seemed much Inclined to buy the furniture. “I'm Just crazy about those lovely old mahogany tables and dressers and the buffet the dining-room looks a* if It mlglß have been In your family for a generation," she had exclaimed enthusiastically, “and I'm sure the price you have put on all the things la reasonable enough." “I've told you Margaret,” said her husband firmly, “that 1 don't ever ln- ; tend to buy a stick of furniture If I can get a chance to rent It, because we'd only have to sell it again at the end of the year when I’m ready to go back to California.'’ i “Well, that seems to settle it," sighed Mrs. Selden, “but we are perfectly satisfied with your rental price and 111 be able to enjoy all these nice old things quite as if I owned them for a whole year anyhow." There was a long gasp of relief from Helen, who had been sitting unnoticed by the window of the living-room. Mrs- Selden looked over at the child and smiled. “You seem glad, little lady, that I'm not to have your mother's furniture.” oh, I'd Just have died If you'd bought my lovely bedroom set that the Bride painted for me," Helen blurted out. “I didn't say anything because mother was feeling so badly, but I'm awful glad you don’t want my bed and bureau." “I know Just how you feel, my dear," said Mrs. Shelden, smiling, “and I promise to take good care of the painted furniture until you see it again. Mr. Allen has told me all about you, so I feel that your room will be my special care.
