IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Organizations of Women Make Indiana Known State’s Progress in Various Lines Traced to United Efforts. BY JI'LIA C. HENDERSON. The organized bodies of women in Indiana are doing much toward making the State one of the outstanding commonwealths of the Nation. One has but to read the daily press to see and know that the women are making progress at every point—in church in public welfare, in health, in child welfare in education, along many and various lines, and even in the field of politics are their voices heard and influence felt —in fact in many of these very activities they are the pushing and controlling force. The purpose and trim of these verious bodies has ever been to lift up the souls of its citizens and to unite in action t x i: I*.-,*,. TVitft w,, mon

promote public welfare. Tire women or the State and of the cities are not concerned in many of the things which are a part of men s lives, but they are concerned with the things which build citizens and send these citizens out equipped to make the right kind of a State and Nation. Children have been taught from the mother's knee for ages, it is true, and it will continue so, but It has only come to women of recent years to have the privilege of saying, or even recommending, what influence should be throw 1 about their children. The children havi been taught what was right at the mot ler's knee only to find as years came on that they were entering a world far different from what the mother had taught them and in which the mother had not had a say or a part—indeed a man-made world was their inheritance. But today no activity of human interest is considered without the viewpoint of woman expressed in it as we, as the man’s, which makes for good to all, and leads to the betterment of life, if the women of the State did nothing more in organization work than is being done through the far reaching efforts of the Parent-Teacher Association they would indeed be justified. Its aims as set out in its constitution are in part: "The object of this organization shall be to unify and strengthen each force represented in the individual organizations of which it is composed. It shall act as a bureau of information and shall help all organizations which are working for the interest of better homes, better schools, and the welfare of the children of the State. It shail cooperate with educators and legislators in securing better laws for the mental, moral and physical development of the child, and for better schools, better paid teachers and the widest possible use of all school buildings to the end that good citizenship may be secured and the youth of the State and Nation safeguarded.” In the organization we find the heart interest of the parent coupled with the intelligent and trained interest of the teacher uniting for the general goou of our future citizens. That the results will be fdlt as the years pass canuot be denied. Women’s organisations throughout t>State are coming together, too, In legislative endeavor, standing as one to advance the things which shall tend to a higher, better citizenry. Women in groups and as individuals are awakening to their power, and women through freedom of action, through full and equal educational facilities and through rights which have been denied them, and are not as yet fully accorded them, they shall come into their full heritage, then, and not until then, will the State and Nation realize what has been missed from a lack of their judgment and wholesome influence. MISS MACBETH AT I DECIDED TO BE A SINGER Ambition Realized to Full 15 Years Later —To lie Here Tonight. How Florence Macbeth became one of the valued stars of the Chicago Opera Company reads like a story extracted from Grimm’s Fairy Tales. One day, when she was only 4, she saw a poster anouncing Marie Tempest's visit to the nearby city. A full length picture of the renowned artist was displayed and petite Florence Immediately asked to be taken to see the pretty lady. The wish, of course, was granted. Hardly was she back home before she commenced a dress rehearsal of what she had seen, quaintly announcing tht one day she would be a pretty singing ldy, too. Passing years only served to change an apparently childish whim to a deep rooted ambition. Finally, when she was 16, her mother took her to Yeatman Griffith, the voice specialist, thinking that wbuld be the end of it. But Mr. Griffith was enthusiastic about the voice which he said was phenomenal, and he forthwith took her under his wing. Three years later a slip of a girl stood on the historic Queen's Hall platform in London and startled a gathering of England's greatest mtsie critics by equalling the finest performances of the most famous singers of a by gone day. “Not since the, advent of Patti has such brilliant singing been heard on a London concert stage,” said the nation’s press. Campanini, reading his morning paper in Paris saw the announcement. Next morning he was in London and by afternoon had cabled the Chicago Opera Compayn that he had secured a contract with the hast find of a generation. With the Chicago Opera Company Macbeth has gone from triumph to triumph. Time and ayain during the past season the little American g|rl overshadowed the best performances of her European rivals, and the press of New York and other leading cities has not hestitated to place her in the class of the greatest singers of the past century. Miss Macbeth sings tonight at Caleb Mills Hail, under the auspices of the Indianapolis Federation of Public School Teachers. Mrs. Effie Harvey is directing the Federation series of concerts. South Side G. O. P. League Plans Dance The board of directors of the South Side Republican League met at the home •of Mrs. C. H.

LEADER OF GIRL SCOUTS TELLS OF PURPOSES Miss Mary Phinny, Local Director, Has Wide Experience. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. Perhaps no young woman has come to Indianapolis in recent years for resilience whose personality Is so attracting the young women, as is Miss Mary M. Phinny, local director of the Girl Scouts. Miss Phinny was born and reared in New York City, attended public and private schools, did post graduate work at New York University and at New York School of Philanthropy She was a voi--unteer worker at. Riverside House, New Y'ork City, for five years and at Prospect House, Yonkers, N. Y., for four years. Previous to her eoming to Indianapolis she held remunerative positions ini settlements in Albany and Endl*cott, X. Y., and at Philadelphia, Pa. She brings to Indianapolis fifteen years’ experience of work with girls. Her interest and experience has always been in recreation, playgrounds and camps. She came to Indianapolis last. July and found 180 Girl Scouts. The organization now numbers l-D, with organization going on almost daily in all parts of the city. Miss Phinny says “The appeal of scouting for girls to the trained and pi- | perieneed social workers is very gr-at for we realize that if a girl’s fro* lime is spent profitably, not squandajed or [wasted, in blind alley amusements, that we will have no problems with girls or women in tie- future. Scouting provides a full time program for girls and gives them just the fun they want If a girl can s-e the delight of time spent in the open, the joy of eagqf willing service, the pleasures of Intellectual growth, she makes a good scout, one that the great international sisterhood Is proud of. The movement is a volunteer one. Women of wealth and position ire giving freely of time and estate r al.zing that a Nation can never r ■ anj higher than its estimate of its women. 8-nprt people think because we wear uniforms and use a small amount of military drill that we are a military organization. “Nothing could be fartfier from the facts f-r air girls ar■ real giris and we want them to continue to tie r-at girls Over one-third of all of our bndg s nrconnected with service in the h-me cooking, dressmaking, child care, homo mr.ki r. home nursing, etc. “Sometimes people who are familiar iti the fine w-rk that. Boy Scouts do confuse our program with the Bov Scouts procram. This is a great tii.v’uk-- for we do not imitate the boys si any Mine. Our hikes nre f-r fun and Instruction; and never for endurance. 1h work is alike ill certain phases for the ~anie great , man founded both organizations ••Sir Baden Powell sou; ! that the Scour program was to ' w< 11 ada; cl to y'Uth In general to limit Its effect to one sox only, so we have Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, two separate and distinct or ganlzi lions. “Another thing, our girls do not work for awards, the little medals nnd hadg—are given to the girls as mile marks rather than rewards, a girl -an < ho. k off her progress by h-r badges, but there is • ind cult task before her Mi- is taught to distinguish dearly bet w- "tin an act of courtesy, tier duty and a god turn." “'] hot the program Is well adapted to the girls of America Is testified by the fact that ’he girls nr- joining at the rafe of 3,OiM) —ai h mouth and 'hat tin Ameri can Red Cross and (’"imuunlty Servin' Inc. are constantly asking f-r scouting in the rural districts as well us in the cities." Miss Phinny Is glad to speak at sny time or to confer with any one interested in t lie work. The lo- y-i headquarters of the orgnnizat on at 205 Chamber of Commerce building Is dlr-cted by well known indlanap'ids men and women int* re: t-d in the movement. Mrs. D.

A pleasing ensemble group was that of the Lincoln Quartette, including Mrs. Mary Traub Busch, Mrs. It. S. Klnnaird, Harry Calland and Ed La Slielie, accompanied by the Lincoln trio composed of Mrs. 8. K. Rulck, pianist; Ella Schrocder, violinist, and I’auline Couchman, cellist. The local artists who have reached a high point in ensemble work presented "Calm as the Night" (Rohm), "In Sapphire Seas’’ (Frimll and “By the Sea” (Siebhins) with brilliant finish. The well loved —aria from Mussenet’a “Herodiade” was skilfully interpreted by Mrs. Janies Lowry, who lias a clear, well-trained sm-runo voice.

Kill or Cure By Ralph Cummins

Ethel Snively nnd Carter Ravenal, the eloping pair, awoke the next morning in Snell’s cabin to find their host preparing breakfast before the fire. The mountaineer gave Kavenal, who slept on the hard floor, a rather rough awakening. The morning meal was not a social success. Ethel ached all over from sleeping on the rude couch. Following the morning meal, Snell prepares ills mules for a journey. When tiie animals were parked with necessary supplies, Ethel finds that her baggnge has been loaded with the rest, and Snell informs Ethel that he is going to take her with him. “1 am going to take .you away from this young man,” Snell remark'd. “He doesn't appreciate yon. I w ill ” Kavenal is dunfounded. Snell challenges him to tight. Ethel pleads with him to do something, but ho seems helpless. Snell then throws Kavenal out the door. Ethel throws herself against the mountaineer and heats him with her fists. From here the story proceeds. CHAPTER IV—Continued The mountaineer calmly gripped her wrists “I sized you up last night,” he said, his voice hard as his steely eyes. “And 1 put you in a list all by yourself as the .most useless thing God ever put on thi\ earth. You're no earthly good to yourself or anybody else. I doubt if you’ll even be worth your grub as company—” "You can’t take me! I won’t go with you!" Bnei.l laughed with a strange sneer. "A pretty thing you are! And I bet you've got folks that's just breaking theli hearts over you.” “You—you devil! Let me go!” She Jerked her hands away and hurled herself at him, striking and klrklng and trying to bite. In the midst of her outburst the sharp crash of the roadster's motor eame to them. “Oh, Carter!” Ethel screamed. “Help! Oh. don’t leave me! Carter! Oh, Dad! I 'ml!” W -h a quiet strength Bnoll overpowere.l the fighting clrl and forced her Inf" the rickety chair beside the table. Th" popping motor sounded fainter and fainter. “Now listen.” The mountaineer’s voice trembled In a r a little. "You're going with rue that’s settled. We're going into the Devil's Hole. And in there we'll lie cat off until spring. But—” “You brute!”

"You pretty little fool!” Thn he laughed loudly—brokenly—eauclif the drl up In his arms and car Tied her outside. "That’s a fierce outfit to ride In,” he 1 Jeer-d. regarding her tailored made suit. "I ll dig "lit a pair of overalls for you i tomorrow.” I••■ -ring Vr hvsferical k! ks and futile Mows, he lifted her in his arms and swung her n- r sx the horse. To save herself fr 'll filing she adjusted horse's l-i the sad,!'- Snell brought a long heavy e >• and f-r 1 :h" girl's arms Into it. They h" ' almty ripped It part way tip th- hark rind tucked the two tails around her legs. 1% 1 1 la a pleasant chirp Snell bended the pa k mules into 'h-- timber and mouri’ed his pony. With another chirp he urged K'h-d’s mount nf’er the mules. For d-.wn the mountain sounded the last faint rumble of Ravenal's motor. I Her Ethe) Sniveler was able to recall hut little "f that terrible drive through the heating snow. They traveled an overgrown trail that was constantly requiring detours throigh the underbrush or over plies of tumbled rocks. Several ttnie. Snell removed the packs and carried them on his back around some particularly dangerous spot. \frcr a f--w vain outbursts of rage, nnd n change to tearful pleading. E h-1 relapsed Into a s'lihhorn silence. Snell soon f'-tind It necessary to lead Ethel’s mount, otherwise the girl would have urged him aside off the trail. Snell was silent calm, efficient. Never ; once during the trying day did he lose ; his temper or speak gruffly to the nervous animals. Time after time he dismounted to load one of the pack mules around a bad spot In the trial. Ills attitude toward Ethel xvns respectful and very cool. Shortly after the start he tried to open n conversation with her, but when she Ignored him, he desisted and did not speak to her again until they had crossed the summit. I.nfe In the afternoon the little party topped the rook-strewn summit. By that time the snow was falling In an ob souring cloud, nnd the two feet of loose snow that covered the Jumbled rocks made their passage difficult and dangerous. In a half daze Ethel sensed a sharp descent, that finally brought them to the friendly shelter of a hemlock thicket. Here Snell halted the animals nnd turned his snow-crusted face toward the girl. “Well, we’re over the hump,” he said pleasantly. “I was sure scared we wasn't going to make It. Now, what you say? Want to stop and eat or beat It on Into the Hole? It’s maybe six miles." Ethel forced her brain to work upon what he had said, then she drove her stubborn tongue to a final plea. “Yon—you mean that th" snow will oov- r the mountains so—a —a person can't get across?” “That's if Oh, there's places where a man could make it on snnxv shoes, hut It's almost a solid line of cliffs on three sides of this valley, nnd the lower end is Devil’s Canyon—that's some rough.” Ethel summoned her strength for n supreme effort. Desperately she fought hack the clutching fingers of a gathering darkness.

“Let me go back,” she pleaded. “I’ll make it alone. I—oh, haven’t you one spark of pity ?” The man looked away and fumbled with his horse's saddle. When he turned back to her his face was hard, his eyes expressionless. “No”—his voice, low and clear, held the last word In deadly finality—“l’m taking you with me.” His hand unconsciously caressed her horse’s snow-covered mane. W Ith a sudden movement he stepped still closer and raised bis face toward her swaying form. “Maybe I’d better make it clear Just how I’m playing this. I was headed in here to an old camp of mine to spend the winter. I’m going to trap and do a little prospecting and sort of enjoy myself. But the last time I was here I had company, so I’m a little scared I’d be lonesome. When I met up with you and saw that you were what you are, why, I just brought you along for company.” A surge of burning rage flamed through Ethel’s tortured mind. Viciously she struck the upturned face. “I could kill you!” she screamed. “And I—1—will!” Snell backed away, looked at her for a moment through narrowed eyes, then mounted and led her horse down the dim trail. Any an ennous exercise would have been a nerve-racking punishment to Ethel Snive’y. To be forced to spend ten hours In a hard-jouncing saddle astride a quick-stepping nervous pony, was a torture unspeakable. And even wrapped in the heavy coat that Snell had forced upon her. she was in a continual chill from the cold damp air. She felt her lungs laboring against a growing congestion. Hot flashes shot knifelike through her body. Finally, she sensed only endless time, and sharp pain., and hazy movement of the horseman in front. Darkness came. Snell fastened ihe two pack mules behind Ethel's pony, and took the lead, following a course seemingly by instinct For endless hours they staggered through the snow blanketed forest, finally to reach a lower altitude where the snow changed to a cold driving rain. Ethel never could remember the ending of that fearful ride. There were dull Impressions of being carried into a cold building, of fumbling hands plucking at her clothing, of the crackling light of a fire, of the scalding burn of hot liquid trickling down her throat.

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. Os course, a dog can run faster than a pig. and very soon Tom Thumb was far ahead of Puss Junior, who. nevertheless, kept urging on his fat steed. The queer little man watched them until they disappeared : then he went into his house. Now the dog every once in a xvhile put nose to the ground so as net to lose the trail. “Do you think yon can find the little maid?” asked Tom Thumb “I.cave that to irve,” replied the dog. and ho kept on at a good rate.. Some distance behind them Tom could hear the pig panting and grunting as he tried to keep up “Are yon all right?” Tom Thumb railed back to run Junior. “Why don't you ask me?" said the p!g “I'm the one that's doing all the work.” Suddenly the dog turned up a lane and then stopped at the door of a rretty little white house, and as soon as Puss Junior arrived on his pig. they both dismounted and knocked on the door. Th" door opened and the light of the lamp on the table shone upon a funny little old woman. “What do you wish, my dears?" she asked, looking at Puss Junior and tittle Tom Thumb. “We've come to fetch the little maid who lives with the queer little old man who’s candle always goes out,” said Puss Junior. And just then a sweet voice from another room called out: "Tell them to wait, grandmother, please; I’ll be out In a minute.” Bo the old lady asked them In. but Tuss said. “I'm afraid, mam, to leave the pig; he might run off.” And then Tom said: “I'm afraid my dog might run away, too." So the old lady left the door open to make things more cheerful, as it was growing very dark and gloomy outside. And when the little maid appeared thp dog barked and the pig grunted, and after that they nM started off for the little maid’s home And pretty soon she looked up to the sky and commenced to sing in a low voice:

“I have a little sister; they call het Peep, I’eep: She wades the water, deep, deep, deep! She climbs the mountains, high, high high. Poor little thing! She has but one eye.” “She’s talking about that bright star.” said Puss Junior. And the dog barked nnd the pig grunted, ns if to say. “Y'ou are right. Mr. Fuss Junior." —Copyright, 1922.

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given Daily in I irnes. fThe Hoopers, an average American family of five. living in a suburban town, on a limited iicome, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the borne are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper ha* evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting reviexv of iheir home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] THURSDAY. "We looked at five places yesterday,“ answered Mrs. Hooper to the question Henry had just put to her as to how many houses she had really seen in her quest for anew home, “and none of them suited me.” "M hat was the matter with them all?” Inquired Henry. "Oh there was something different wrong with each one of them,” sighed Mrs. Hoper wearily. “I wouldn't have believed it would lie so discouraging trying to find what 1 want.” "I imagine perhaps you are too fussy Mary,” said Henry. “You'll have to make up your mind to accept very much loss than you’ve begun to look for. If you have room enough and it’s clean and in a good neighborhood 1 can’t see much what else you want when we are only renting and not buying a house.” “M ell the very nicest place I saw yesterday was in a lovely street and it had siz good sized rooms but the kitchen was Impossible. It was a dark little hole In the back of the house that had not a single convenience for working.” "I imagine all the conveniences that you had gr iwn so accustomed to in the Mayfield house,” said Henry, "are things that will have to put in for your own use in whatever house you rent.” "I don't intend to improve any one elses property,” said Mrs. Hooper firmly, “if that's jj-hat y u mean. I’ll Just keep looking till I find a convenient kitchen anyhow. I c2n make the rest of the house comfortable even if it isn't quite my i-lea of the best arrangement, but I must have a nice big’kitchen.” “I guess they don’t have niee big kitchens In ci:i"s,” said Henry patiently. “Have you seen any In your going about?”

“Not yet,” replied Mrs. nooper stubbornly. “b it I shall keep hunting. Mrs. Elkins, my new friend from downstairs. Is quite as disgusted as you are that I j insist on looking at the back part of the , hous-- flr-t an 1 not wan’ing to go a srep | farther if that doesn't suit me.” j “Well, all I can say Is," remarked Henry as he prepared to leave for the office after having had his breakfast, “that it's mighty lucky that we have this apartment to live in while you are making this leisurely search. But remember, that we will have to be out by Feb. 23, which is txvo weeks from Saturday. Browns will be back a few days before the first, I heard at the office yesterday.” “Oh. I'll find something before the week Is out, I hope," M i ( ] >j rs . Hooper, cheerfully, “though I've exhausted the list of addresse# that the real estate men gave me.” “Have you looked In the newspaper to see if there are any houses advertised for rent.” Inquired Mr. Hooper. "I’ve been so busy with my books at the office that I forget every day to look, as one of j the ir-vi told me to do.” ) “Y pr. I’d never thought of doing that," said Mrs. Hooper in a surprised tone, “Do von suppose nice houses would be advertised for rent?” ! “Oh. Mary, will you never remember that this is the city and not Mayfield where no one would have dreamed of advertising anything In a newspaper,"” said Henry despairingly. “You are likely to • find the x-ery thing you are looking for in thp classified a is.” “Well. I'll certainly try it because I don't believe there will be anything worth while in these few addresses I have left.” | “Well, I hope you move to a stylish place,” piped up Helen, “the girls at school say I'm awful grand because wo live In this apartment house, and I just ; wish w e could stay here, mother." “If you'll Just study your lessons. Helen, and catch up to your regular I class, I’ll think you are grand,” laughed her mother, “which Is of more Importance than what those girls think of where yoa live.”

“Oh, you don't know, mother,” spoke up Roger, stopping at the dining-room door, “how Important It Is to live where It’s fashionable. A lot of the fellows la my class make quite a bit of fuss about where they live and this is a swell apartment, they say." ; “Well. 1 declare," said Mrs. Hooper disgustedly. “I'll find a house and move a< quickly aw possible if you are all going to get notions like that in your heads."
