IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Vote Check to Woman Who Interceded for Firemen

By JULIA C. HENDERSON, A check for $25 voted recently to Mrs. Elizabeth A. Kuhns, 857 Buchanan street, by the firemen of Indianapolis, in recognition of services to them Curing the session of the Legislature, recalls an unwritten story as to how the ingenuity and alertness of one woman put over the two-platoon system for the firemen of Indiana In that session. A delegation of ministers of Indianapolis had called upon Governor Goodrich asking his signature to the bill, in order that the firemen might have an opportninty to go to church, but the Governor refused them. Then it was that the firemen of No. 3 engine house made an appeal to Mrs. Kuhns for her help, which was readily given. Mrs. Kuhns summoned a group of women to her assistance and went before the Governor asking his signature, that the firemen might have an opportunity to become better acquainted with their families. He refused to sign the bill as presented, but stated that he would sign an amended bill that would cover cities with a population of less than 15,000 and more than 7,500 having a regularly organized fire department.

NO CHILD BAD, IF UNDERSTOOD THINKS WRITER Youthful Viewpoint Wrong, Says Angelo Patri and Gives Advice. No child is bad. He errs in matters of taste. He mistakes noise for music. He thinks horseplay is fun. He confuses clothes with people, for he has little sense of values. He mistakes crudeness for candor; license for liberty, says Angelo Patri, in the March Delineator. He makes mistakes because he has lived with you for so short a time. He has not learned your ways, your code. Time will adjust all that. He will learn. He must be taught and helped and inspired; but how? Child training is difficult, subtle, a life work. There is no open road, no plainly marked chart. There is little to guide you but the vaguely expressed wants of the child and your own shrouded, muffled efforts to meet them. But one thing you can do. Think back to the days of your own childhood.

UNITED ACTION BRINGS RESULTS Des Moines Women's Bureau Solves Big Problems. The Service Star, the official organ of the Service Star Legion, published In Des Moines has the following editorial which shows what women can do in concerted action: “Women nro exerting a greater 'direct Influence than ever before. They get results. Des Moines is a city of 150,000 inhabitants covering a comparative large territory. For months the street cars were Idle. People who did not hate automobiles were compelled to walk or ride in uncomfortable busses. The courts were trying to settle the street car question and men’s clubs were holding tJhily conferences while the people walked. Finally the women’s bureau of the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce took the matter in hnnd, pointed the way to n solution of the street car problem and demanded that service be resumed. “In three days the cars were running and Des Moines now has better street car service than for years." “Again, like many other cities Des Moines was experiencinb a wave of crime. Several crimes against women were committed, homes, business houses and banks robbed. Men adopted resolutions. A change was made in tun public safety department but crime increased. “The women again came to the front They raised $25.00 in three days and caused many extra policemen to bo placed on the force. “The crime wave was broken and the criminals are on the rnn.” PLAN DEBATE ON IMPORT DUTIES Speakers to Present Pro and Con of American Valuation. The advantages of a scheme of American valuation the basis of determining import duties will be discussed at a meeting to be held tn the Chamber of Commerce building at 8 o’clock Friday eight. Opposing points of view will b# presented by William E. Humphrey of j Washington, D. C., an official of the American Valuation Association, who favors the proposal, and W. 11. Mann, general manager of Marshall Field and | Company of Chicago, an opponent of the | valuation scheme. The suggestion that American valuation be made the basis for the imposition of Import duties has divided the retailers an dwholesalers of merchandise, generally, into two opposing camps. In general, retailers of the country oppose the valuation plan on the ground that it will give the manufacturer an excuse for boosting prices, which the retailer will be forced to pass on to the ultimate consumer, and for which the { retailer will get the blame. The manufacturers, who are said to be in favor of the plan, say this will not be the necessary result, but that such a plan I when put into operation, will prevent ! European countries from swamping this! country with goods of foreign manufac I ture. An invitation to attend this meeting has been sent out by John 11. Reynolds, general secretary of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, to business men throughout the State. The arrangements for the meeting were made by Victor C. Kendall, secretary of L. S. Ayres and Company, in cooperation with Mr. Reynolds. How to Beat H. C. L. SnERiNCIIA.iI, England.

Daily Fashion Hints

Gvt 5 dil \ l A —st

Capes for sports wear have never been any too sane, with their trick of catching every breeze that blows and with their hampering of the arms, but here Is a sports cape that seems really sensible, and bids fair to be the forerunner of a very liberal crop. It is short, reaching only a little below the elbow, circularly cut, making It full and loose, without cumbersome shirring. Additional practicability is given in the deep slits for tha arms. silta and the exaggerated Buster Brown collar are Borvleeably piped with black kid. This cape takes the place of a Jacket or sporta coat, with a plain skirt and belt of the same material. The material, by the way, is a startling feature of the suit, startling enough to make its severe plainness satisfactory. A bhecker board paitern of grass and blue is plalded with a huge, bright green stripe. If these cape suits have the vogue which they seem to be beginning, it will be reasonably safe to predict a renewed interest in the tailored silk blouse. In their wake will come the sports oxford of white brick, tan leather, or white, combined with patches of brilliant color. Newest among the woolen hats is the little, round affair, with a knitted brim, neither particularly shapely nor becoming, but very smart. Indeed. Women Invited to Hygiene Session The meeting of tne woman's council on Social Hygiene to be held at 12:15 o'clock Friday is an open meeting to all women of the city Interested in the movement. Reservations for luncheon may b 0 made by calling Mrs. Richard Lleber, Randolph 8437, before the day of the meeting.

ThimbleiThimble! By CONSTANCE CORNWALL

Lawrence Tilton, successful young barrister, was la love with Dlaxu; Richmond, his ward. He had never made any show of his affection, however, for Diana was still young and he could wait. The girl’s mother seonds her to visit an aunt, in London, hoping that she would get into society and make a good match. This was a disappointing arrangement to Tilton and his heart Is heavy as he watches Diana sail away on a big liner. Miss Richmond marries Lord Banister, who is later called t-o the wars and Is killed in action. After an absence of five years, she return*, soereily bringing with her the Hardcaster family jewels, which she believed had been given her hy her husband. A Spanish woman alleged widow of the Earl of Hardcaster, lays claim to the jewels, and accuses Diana of theft. Fearing arrest and publicity, Diana takes her troubles to Tilton. Go on with the story. CHAPTER 111—Continued “Don’t be top sure of that, Larry,” she warned. I’m a perfect little beast, but I couldn’t help it. Look at that story. They have deliberately left out who the Earl of Hardcaster Is, to make it sensational. I have not stolen the Jewels. It is absurd." Larry drew a deep breath of relief. “Do you know where they are, Dl?” he ventured. “Os course, you stupid old Larry. They are In my wardrobe at Belden, Connecticut, where they belong.” The lawyer gave a low whistle. “Will you tell me?” he asked slowly, “who la the Earl of Hardcaster?” "He is the heir to my husband’s estates, and everything that was his—except me and the pension the British government settled on officers’ widows.” i “Including the family Jewels," said Larry, beginning to see light. “Yes, including the family Jewels, re ' peated Dl. “According to the silly Engj itsh laws property, titles, jewels and everything worthwhile are left to the \ next male relative. Widows and daughters mean nothing to them when it comes to making out a will. Some stupid old, or young, reprobate whom the family has perhaps never seen because he is a ninety-ninth cousin and bears the family name inherits everything.” j “But if that is the English law, Dl we must abide by it. Don’t you see that, yourself?” “No. I do not see it, myself.' she said sharply. I'm not English and ' don't have to abide by their old Is <vs.” “But yon married an Englishman. That makes you an Englishwoman," he reminded her. "Now Larry, do be a good lawyer or I’ll take my case elsewhere,” she said impatiently. Don't you know that a widow can claim protection from her onu country?" "Yes, 1)1, but the Jewels," Tilton faltered. completely nonplussed by her reasoning. Possession is nine points of tun law,” she said firmly, "I intend to keep them long enough to prove that they are mine; then I will make up my mind what I shall do with them." “But, Dl, that’s what they call stealing.” Larry was aghast. Suddenly It occurred to him that she might be teasing him. Dl must have changed terribly If those were his real sentiments. He wub soon undeceived, however, by her next words: ‘‘Don't you dare call me a thief. W v, what a horrid word! Those Jewels vere put on my precious little person to be presented at the English court, and If I am a thief now, 1 was a thief then, and I would liavo you know that Queen Mary doesn't received doubtful people. One must be of irreproachable standing to gain admittance to her court; so there.” She stopped for breath end looked at him defiantly. “I recall that occasion,” Larry said, remembering the pang it had caused him. “I cut out the story from the Sunday papers. You must have looked magnificent, Dl.” "Perhaps," she said indifferently, “but let's get hack to tha present story.” CHAPTER IV. Larry detected a slight tremor in her voice and the color had not returned to her cheeks. He noticed, too, that she had relaxed from her erect posture she had taken at first and leaned languidly back in the chair. Altogether her attitude belied the confidence of her words. “We must fix up a complete denial of this exaggerated stuff.” he said, pointing to tho papers. “God knows how the story will have grown by tonight. Then we can go into particulars tomorrow, after you are rested. I would like to go home with you, if you will let me. What train ore you going on?” She didn't answer his request to go home with her. “Tom, my brother, brought me in the car and he will call for me at 2 o'clock." she said, “but you may give mo some lunch, Larry,” , “If I go home with yon we can talk after dinner. You wilt fee! more like yourself at home than you do in this stuffy office," he pleaded. Larry would have been seriously nettled If any one else had called his office stuffy. It was anything but that. “Os course you can go homo with us if you like, Lnrr.v,” she answered Indifferently. “But I’d much rather finish this business here. You know a lawyer's office is the proper place to be disagreeable in. and I feel that we ar9 going to be perfectly horrid.”

The “go home with us" was not lost on Larry, but her consent to let him go was a beginning, and he felt grateful. “There's no reason why we should disagree, Di, dear,” he said hopefully. “Your explanation so far has clarified things wonderfully. You can't imagine how terribly upset I was feeling before you came in. I ought to have known, though, that you would clear everything up iu a Jiffy.” “Have you any suggestion to make?” Dl asked abruptly. “Why, yes,” Larry said briskly. “If that musty old Earl—l presume he is old—wants his baubles back he can have them. I guess we have as good Jewelry in the United States as anything over there, eh, Di? Let's tell him that we expected to duplicate them here, but, we have changed our minds because the designs in this country are much more desirable, and sc we are returning them. Don’t you think that something like that would settle the whole thing?” At first, Di listened impatiently and would have interrupted him, but something cheeked her. Larry fancied he had made a point to keep his voice as near as possible to the old time tone. He believed he had armed himself against taking advantage of her present difficulties, but he was also anxious not to lose, or at least, to regain every Inch of the old time footing. In order to carry out his plan he compelled himself to forget the past five years. For the time being, Lady Banister was unknown. The little lady sitting in his office was Di, come to coax for something that her mother thought Bhe shouldn’t have. Larry’s calculations were all very fine, as far as they went, but he was figuring without Di. Five years of European society teaches a beautiful woman every note of the human voice. The caressing tones Larry had always used to her had been lost on the child, but with Lady Banister it was different. Suddenly, it seemed to him, she raised her head, and looked his squarely In the eyes. Under her searching gaze his own eyes fell and he began to fidget with some papers on his desk. His hands shook miserably. In a second, however, he had recovered his self-possession. “You see, Di—” She interrupted him quickly. “I don’t think, after all, Larry, there is any occasion to be horrid,” she said gently. “I am sure you -want to help me all you can, so what's the use of quarreling? Os course, I can’t do what you propose because the Earl is not the only factor In the case. There’s that horrible Spanish woman. I’ve got to fight her.” I-arry straightened up with renewed attention. "What Spanish woman? he asked quickly. “Lord Banister’s sister-in-law.” Dl said rather enjoying his surprise. (To Re Continued.! PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. “Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater. Had a wife and couldn't keep her; He rut her in a pumpkin shell. And there he kept her very well. This is the song a little bird sang as Puss and Tom watched the funny little man hollow out the big round pumpkin. "Oh, that's the reason he didn't want to sell the shell,” ctied Tom Thumb. "Wise old Peter, Pi c.pkln-eater!” “I wonder where his wife is,” said Puss Junior. And ‘ ,en, all of a sudden, a pretty little won- n came to the gate In the old snake f ace. “Peter.’ Peter!” ;he cried, “when will you have my lovel. pumpkin house ready for us?” “Don't be impatb at, my dear,” replied Peter. “It takes time to build a house, whether of wood or pumpkin shell. I am making as much haste as I dare. If I hurry too fast I may split the shell, and then the rain will come In.” “Perhaps we can help,” suggested Tom Thumb. “I have a tiny sword and Puss Junior has a larger one. Would you cate to have us show ottr skill?" But Peter only grunted. So Mrs. Peter said with a laugh, “Come over and tell me a story; I'd rather hear a pretty story than have you help Peter. ne might as well be busy at house building as at anything else. Besides, a pumpkin house will be very pretty.” “I think so myself,” said Puss Junior, sitting down beside Mrs. Peter. “That pumpkin certainly is marvelously big. It is as big as a house. If Peter had a pioknx he could hollow it out much faster.” “Avery good suggestion,” cried Mrs. Peter. “Peter! Peter!” she cried. “Run back to the farm and get your pickax. It will take you only a very little while if you have the proper tool to work with.” Feter seemed to think this a very good suggestion, and at once set off for the farmhouse to get the pickax, and while he was gone Tom Thumb crawled In the hole which had already been made In tho huge pumpkin. And when he came out he said: ‘Tunipktn hall is a very nice sort of a house, but I should like it better if the pumpkin had been baked into a pie. Then one could always have pumpkin pie when he felt hungry.” But just then Peter returned, so Tom Thumb ran over to Puss Junior, who was just about to commence telling one of his adventures to pretty ! little Mrs. Peter. And in the next story you shall hear what little Puss Junior related.—-Copyright. 1922. (To He Continued.)

The old fashioned atove at Mayfield was like a friend that I had learned how to manage In the long years we had spent; together.” “You are a very sentimental person, Mary,” observed her husband as he lifted Betty to his shoulders to carry her Into the dining-room, “and I expect we will never hear the en j of what we once had at Mayfield.” “Oh. don't think for a minnte that I*m belittling this lovely new gas stove!” ex claimed Mrs. Hooper “It was quite my ; fault that the oven wasn’t baking prop* ■ erly and that so much ga* was being j burned without proper results.

I ; shall work it all out and make a memorandum of what I want done, but you and Roger needn’t count on doing it thi* , Saturday.” ! “Well, you ought to have the job ready : for us by a week from Saturday,” ob served Henry. “I am sure I shall by then.” said Mrs. nooper, “and in ihe meantime I want to get the fruits and vegetables put away carefully in the preserve closet in th* basement, which Is really In fine shape, and as far as I can see with nothing to be done to it, now that it has been thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed." “What have you done today?” asked Henry. “I haven't looked around to see, but I suppose you’ve been busy every minute.” “I certainly bave." agreed Mrs. Hooper, “and while 7 can see a number of thing* that hare been really accomplished it does seem £3 If these rooms look ter* | ribly bare.” j “You fixed my room up, didn’t you, : mother” asked Helen, nibbling her bread i and butter.” I “Couldn't you see that I had" asked her mother. “Os course, there Isn't any* | thing but the bed and the dresser and a chair and that little blue and whit* rug. but Roger will build you soma shelves for your books and I'll find a little table for your work basket, and I have a pair of curtains I’ve Just pressed out that Roger will slip on the rod after dinner.
