IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Leadership Is Chief Need of Modern Women Necessity Is Emphasized by President of Feminine Organization. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. That the success of any movement calls for efficient and trained leadership is an acknowledged fact and the dearth of such material is arousing a demand for education along this line in almost every avenue of organized effort. In almost every activity in which men and women are engaging themselves this lack of leadership is deplored, even in the field of politics. Many organizations In an endeavor to advance their interests are arousing themselves to the need of training their young people in this important work, and are taking definite steps toward bringing about.the education and training of the young in such a way that their future may be in safe, sane and competent hands which make for real leadership. The cry, “We can’t find any one to lead” has been sounded in ail avenues of organized effort. This was voiced in a recent board meeting of a well-known woman’s organization by its president, : ■who frankly confessed their movement i was suffering for lack of leaders. MEN HAVE ADVANTAGE HERE. This Is, perhaps, truer of women's work than men's, because leadership has seemed to be put upon men or they have assunTvd It for ages past and are more often j chosen, or looked to when an advance i movement is started, because of their equipment and traditions that men should lead. It must be placed to the credit of the W. C T. U. that for many years they have been training their young people for service and leadership; offering prizes, encouraging effort, a rousing, la rent power in individuals which needed only i recognition and encouragement to help i them in developing the best that was in them. Perhaps in no other organization in the country are women as well trained in parliamentary procedure as in this one and no breach of rules of order escapes them. Church organizations, patriotic bodies, club leaders, fraternity gronps, those : who would advance political effort are ! seeing to it that the on-coming genera- : tions are made ready for the responsibilities and dut’>s which soon are to be j theirs, and they are not handicapped as are those who should be in leadership to- i day. HEADERS NEED HONG TRAINING. It is realized the fundamentals of any j movement should he laid down In tin period of adolescence when Impressions are most easily made. When this shall have been brought about the dearth of j leadership materia! will have been done ; away with in a great measure. It is true the qualities of real leadership are not given to all, but it is possible to acquire knowledge which can be assembled and made to serve one in need. In these day’s of women's organizations, borught together for advancement along many lines of endeavor, it is now only the occasional woman who and ■ s not feel she could conduct the routine business of the organization IT, perchance, it should fall into her hands. That women's organizations are educating their sex along these lilies more actively than men is evidenced in the ability of girls and young women In the schools and colleges of the country who no longer are afraid to hear the echo of their own voices on the public platform. The ease and poise they assume is most promising and gratifying to their elders, showing the value of early training, and the value of their services in leadership when properly developed.

THINK “BONUS” IS CHIEF HOPE OF RE-ELECTION, Feminine Votes to Demand Human Welfare Legislation of Next Congress. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Dodger. BY CONSTANCE DKKXEf* WASHINGTON, Jan. IC.-—lt is an established fact in Washington that the present members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans believe they can only come back In the elections this year if they can hand the people a soldier “bonus” bill. Whether the principle Is right In the first place, or where the money is coming from, seems to be Immaterial. Regardless of whether such a measure Is best for the country at large, the insistence of Congress reveals a deplorable state of affairs. Congressmen, especially of the lower house, still think in terms of seeds and postoffices for their ! constituents. Os course it must be the voters' fa alt, but the fact Is Congress has a very low opinion of the thinking power of the electorate. For the first time, all the women of the country have had the vote during this Administration. The last election came upon them so suddenly women were “rubber stamps” to a large extent. Are they going to change the complexion of Congress—electing men with a do- j termination to serve their country in ! general and their constituents In partlcu- j lar from the point of view of human j welfa re? It Is to be noted not one of the groat women’s organizations, belonging to the ! women’s joint congressional committee, 1 has indorsed n soldier "bonus” measure. ! On the contrary, a large group of women has set out to "elect,” in 1922, a human welfare congress. Through its legislative department, the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers’ Association calls on all large organizations of the country to Join in a drive j to send to Washington only Congressmen Interested and educated In promi nent welfare issues. At tho bottom of the idea Is the the- | ory that it should be the part of tho new women voters to make welfare legislation as prominent In an election as business Issues.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

Sturt at the beginning and read it all. CHAPTER Vl—Continued. I saw her bite her Up. She drew back, startled by my vehemence. I thrnst the envelope Into her hand. “There’s my mother's address —and money to take you to her. The Salt Lake Limited leaves at 9. I-—” Footsteps sounded In the room behind me, but I did not care. Nothing In all the world could disturb me. For tho girl who had been all strength and power crumbled into a drooping figure. She clutched the letter to her breast. Her full lips trembled, and 1 could see a fiilmy mist gather In her eyes She leaned toward me and a woman's heart rpoko to me In a language that I could not fall to understand. •’Why.” she murmured brokenly, “Oh, Barry—why, I don’t even know your name!" Then I did laugh, hut as T reached for her the doctor’s gruff cough and Mrs. Gray’s too loud clatter warned mo that we were observed. However. I was satisfied and my heart sang with Joy. When 1 start.*,] out on my dangerous trip a few minute* later Alstan gave me n furtive smile, and I watt quite sure that when morning name the girl T loved would he far away from Bog Angelos and safe from the wreck of the United Syndicate. CHAPTER VII. T chuckled os I used my passkey to enter the bank from the lobby of the Winters building. How ridiculously easy it was to rob tho Metropolitan, thanks to Evan* assigning me to tho duty of sttidvlng vaults. Because of the preparation that I had made It was hut a matter of five minutes until T came nut with my heavy suitcase. Briskly I walked the : t Mocks to the rendezvous point oj; Hill street. It was 10 12 when I reached Hill at Fifth, within sight of my destination. 1 could see the motorcycle and the closed automobile waiting across the street, and as I walked slowly along I saw a taxicab s'alllng farther up the street. I stepped to the curb opposite the station. Hardly had I placet] my suitcase at my feet wlmn the taxicab drew up. The driver reached t>n* k and opened the il .or A* 1 tossed the suitcase in I peered at the muffled figure Inside, but I could make out nothing that would abl me in Identifying the receiver of the loot. If only he would row lead the way to the “higher tip,’’ The taxi drove on. The Mg car across

the street waited until the taxi had turned to the left at the next corner, then it shot ahead. The motorcycle sputtered, swung In front of the big car and turned the corner. I drew a deep breath. My job was (lone. I could do no more. Now I must be sure that Alstan had gone on that evening train. Then I would have a few words with President Evans. I hailed a yellow taxicab and was driven out to the big place on the hill. There were no lights downstairs. Was she gone: Os course—my worry was unnecessary. As I fumbled for my passkey, I tried the door and, to my surprise, I found It unlocked. Then I breathed again, Alstan had not sprung the catch when she went out. As I entered the hall I heard a car stop in front. I grinned as I stepped Into the darkness. Already the hounds of the law that I had unleashed were hunting for Alstan Bourke. I heard a step in the upper hall and. although the angle was such that T could not see the landing. I was sure that someone was looking down. Was it Mrs. Gray ? The outer door opened. I slipped Into the corner beside the stairs. Footsteps passed tne in the darkness., nnd a figure moved up the s f aircase. Muffled voices sounded from above. I felt a chill creeping down my spine. Very quickly I climbed the stairs. T paused before Evans' door and noted the hum of voices Inside Determined to know the worst I entered the little hall adjoining. The door Into Evans' room was njnr. I listened. “That Is fine!” came Evans' voice. “Now to get away. Your car Is waiting?” “V-—hut I fear that I was followed here I” Suddenly T wanted to crawl away and l<*t the world crash upon me. For it was Alstan Bourke who spoke. "Oh. you’re mistaken.’’ Evans said, and a surge of angry resentment almost swept away mv reason Suddenly T r aw much to which I had been blind before. Evans had hern much too interested In vault*—woodn-headed though T was. T had meant to question him. T slipt*ed into the room while he was speaking. "Von had better go at one#. Now yon understand just what yon are to do? Take the Paclfie Electric tonight to Riv••rs!de. and catch the Sonthem Pactfle for Vtims tomorrow morning. You will hare plenty of time The theft will he discovered Monday morning, but the officers vtil lose several davs trvlng to follow North. And don't forget that yon tire *o tn-et North In Manznttan.” ko Evan* was taking advantage of the fa*r that T was In love with Alstan and had planned to throw us together In our flight. I saw Als'sn’s faro a* Evans fumbled w!*h the suitcase There was upon If 'hat same scornful smile—that might mean anything Then she tossed her head, turned toward the bathroom door —and saw me A peculiar glint, came Into her eyes. Hhe shrugged her shoulder* expressive of a d’siruste,] "Y-ot here again?” and edged awnv from Evans The banker working at the catch of th< suttea.se, suddenly raised hi* eyes "North,” he snapped. “What are yon doing here?” “1 followed that suitcase" I lied. “T was eurious to know where it would go ” "What do you mean?” He rose to his feet aid toi-k a *iep toward me. I notlred that he did not lltnp. ”f mean that I am hunting for the head of the United Syndicate—or was. I think I've f nnd him. Evans laughed scornfully, then hi* eve* went to Alstan’* expressionless face. “You are making a poor joke. I never heard -if a United Syndicate.” Alstan mover closer to Evans' side with nn Intimate gesture that seemed to place her definitely upon hi* side. “Why didn't you take the chance I gave yeoi 7" I demanded “Whv should t run away?” Pha moved still closer to Evans. < “Because T wanted to save yon." I retorted. “And 1 will save you yet! Mr. Evans, T shall ask yon to go with me.” T thought he drooped a little at. that, hut Mls Bourke laughed. “Just what Is the charge?" she asked “Attempted looting of the Metropolitan 1” ’’Oh. Is that it?” Her voice was mocking “Why deny it?” I demanded of Evans “T was B**nt here by the Syndicate for the express purpose of doing this. Upon written instructions I wnt to the bank tonight, nnd —and brought away thst suitcase. You"—l tried to look at Alntnn -“yon brought It here!” Evans frowned. I conld read hi* mind. TTe knew his powerful system was erumbllng. He looked nt Alstan and I wondered If he would he man enough to save her. But she laughed ligh'lv. “That suitcase? Why, you're Joking! We’ll open it and see.” Quick as a flash she dragged tho suitease upon the bed and jerked It open. I was watching Evans’ face, when she dumped forty pounds of blank cheeks upon the hod. Evans’ consternation and the relief that followed was laughable. Ills hard eyes were npon mo as T turned again to Mstan. For a moment T forgot Evans. When T looked at him again he had a gun pointed at my face. "Bn you're a fake!” he said shortly. “You’ve been after me all the time. All right., for your satisfaction—l am the United Syndicate. But you will not nr-

Daily Fashion Hints

iJlb' fli? itiii ifM|£ l&S'&Jrj:/ / mMI

By AGNES AYRES, Star In Paramount Picture*. Scarfs, like fans, and bandeaux, have come back with a vengeance. No evening frock Is fashionably complete this season without Its retinue of scarf, fan and bandeaux or evening bat. Avery charming and feminine fancy it is, too. . Tho French scarfs and fans favor the sequin motif, while we with a more divided taste like feathers and brocades almost as well. Some Af the mopt pleasing of the new scarfs are long rectangles of chiffon cloth, brocaded with velvet flowers and leaves In the same color as the ground. Fans of eoque in brilliant colors, arranged with the same studied disorder that governs the bobbed coiffure, are very much in favor. Ostrich Is still used, but In unusual ways, Just two or three perfect plumes mounted on i stick, whole fans of glycertned ostrich, or ostrich combined with peacock for those who challenge fate. One of tho newest scarfs Is shown in the sketch. It Is made of a heavy mesh, gray giik net and embroidered with dots of gray chenille; a heavy fringe of gray chenille weighs the ends of the scarf. Gray Is so popular this season that a woman of any age might wear the same, though It Is especially suggestive of the more mature type. However, if worn with one of the metal tissue frocks of silver or gold that are so popular, there would be not the least hint of age about It. rest me. Miss Bonrke will be able to testify to the manner In which yon were killed. Yon tried to rob the bank and 1 caught you!” I smiled Info his gray face. Here was a ttght hole from which there was little hope of escape. And I didn't care much. Alstan was lost to me. Eventually they would be eaught. I shrugged my shoulders and looked again at Alstan standing rinse beside Evans. She. too, was smiling, and as T looked, her right hand rose and swung over toward Evans. In It was a small antomatic that pressed firmly Into Evans’ side. "Don’t shoot!” ner volee was low hut in It there was a steely ring. Then ns Evans’ hand wavered—“ Get his gun, Barry!’’ Mechanically I took the gun from Evans' powerless hand His puzzled eyes searched the girl's face. A grayish pallor appeared aronnd hi* mouth. “What now?” he whtspered huskly “Whst do yon mean, Alstan?" ”1 just don't want yon to kill Barry.” she replied, her eves shining with mischief. “I—he's asked me to—to marry him !’* T stared, nnd as I did so two hnskr men stepped qnietly from the bathroom and at Alstan’* nod lined up behind Evans. Suddenly the room was full of men. I recognized the man who had driven Alstan's taxicab, and the motorcycle rider who had followed Qnietly in the foreground stood a secret service man whom I had known for years. Slowly I began to understand. Alstan smiled at me as she hid her gnn. • “Barry.” she said softly, “you’re a rotten detective—but for nerve—” ‘‘But you—” “Me? Oh. Em with the Government." “But when T saw yon in Chicago?” “Oh— there! Why. T'd just got the goods on that hnneh. hut T needed a conviction record. T—l didn’t serve that sentence. Why, I got this job with Evans on the strength of that record. And Fve made good!” she nodded to my secret servlep friend. “T've helped Douglas Evans rob three banks—nnd T have the complete accounts of the United Syndicate!” “Yon —yon—" spluttered Evans. "Yes.” she explained. Ignoring Evans, "between Mr.—er—North and myself, we have caught them all. Either Federal ofTcers or Mr. North’s men will arrest every Syndicate agent before morning.” Suddenly I became myself. “Well, yon've lost your record.” T stated. “Your value In this line is destroyed.” She smiled tenderly. “I was through anyway. It's a miserable life.” “How about a little ranch?” I whispered eagerly. “But I’ll never marry a detective—especially one who takes wild chances.” “It’s a bargain!” I gloated. “After the trials are over—that little ranch ” “Oh!” Her face was radiant. “Won't that be great. But —why—what Is yonr name?” The End.

"Then If I pack my trunk and n,y personal belongings you and Roger will be able to manage the rest, I suppose.” "Oh, very well, indeed," said Mr*.
