IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Early Leader in * Suffrage Came Talks Politics Wishes Beveridge Named by G. O. P. and Marshall or Ralston by Democrats. By JCLU C. H END KBS OX. To have known Mrs. Antoinette Funk In suffrage days Is to hunt her up when-, ever she comes to the city. It was the pleasure therefore of some of her suffrage friends to greet her and have a renewal of old acquaintanceship for a short period yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Funk had just been entertained at a luncheon by the wives of the officers and of the executive committee of, the American Electric Railway Assocaltion, at whose dinner she spoke last night and which occasion brought her to the city. She was alive and alert to know what was taking place politically in Indiana , and stated that the one thing she missed most in her residence In Washington was the political viewpoint oue gets In the States. However, she 6eemed to be more keenly alive to the political situation In Indiana than are qjqst of its women citizens. She very frankly said, "I feel, for the honor of the Republican party, Mr. Beveridge should be nominated and returned to the United States Senate. Senator New does not represent the great progressive element of Indiana." Mrs. Funk smiled and further said, “being a Democrat I hope that if Mr. Beveridge is nominated that the Democratic party will nominate ex-Vice President Marshall or your former Governor Ralston and defeat Mr. Beveridge."

PRONOUNCED IN POLITICAL VIEWS. She was quite pronounced-tn her view that Mr. Beveridge was the logical candidate for the Republican party to advance. Mrs Funk has had a broader experience with members of Congress, and what they have done, than most women of the country, having served on the congressional committee of the National American Woman Suffrage Association fur a long period and had dealings with the members of that body almost daily. At the mid-winter dinner of the American Electric Railway dinner last night Mrs. Funk was the only woman speaker and was at her very best. Her subject, as announced on the program, was “A Woman's Viewpoint," but Robert I. Todd, toastmaster, facetiously stated that while she was to have talked on the given subject it had been changed to "Do Women Get Off the Street Cars Backward ?” In this connection Mrs. Funk said: “It is as ridiculous to say that women are looking backward when they get off street cars as it Is to say they are looking backward generally. Indeed, they are looking forward and making progress Just the same as men. “Why say women get off street cars backward or do anything else as a unit? They do and think things as individuals the same as men. and until this fact Is realized the so-called problem of ‘dealing with women' never will be solved. If you would sell your ideas to women, dl versify your appeal; don't try to herd all women your way by a single method. WOMEN INTERESTED IN INVESTMENTS. "Business generally does not recognise the vast posibilities of Interesting women In Investments. Apparently, It ls_not realized that one-third of all women In the United States today are wage earners and that most of them may be interested in safe investments. During the war when the Women’s Liberty Loan Organization of the Treasury Department was instrumental in'selling approximately $5,000,000,000 worth of Liberty Bonds. “Women In the past have been mercilessly exploited in business. They have been led up on the heights and shown rubber plantations in Mexico and other ‘bonanzas' which existed only in the mind of the promoter. But that day is rapidly passing. Women have learned their lesson and today they are looking for safe investments. "Proper cultivation of women by public utilities, especially eelctric railways, if seems to me, would go far toward solving present problems of the utilities. It Is fortunate, indeed, for public utilities that their rehabilitation, necessitated 1./ war problems. Is coincident with the emancipation of women. Women are taking their proper place In the world and the honest public utility management with safe securities not only can obtain financial backing from women, but thus they also can Interest them In the general welfare of utilities When women own a part of their local utilities, they will understand their problems and no longer will be swayed by the demagogues who seek persona) success through assailing public service corporations." Mrs Funk admonished -the men that the women qf the United States are Into everything and are in to stay, that they have arrived, and the proposition has to be faced whether all the men like it or not. She closed her talk by saying. "Remember that all women are like the ones in your own home, and treat them like straight-out human brings.”

WESTERN FARM WOMEN SAID TO BE IN REVOLT Feminine Voters Organize for Congressional Upheaval. NEW YORK. March I.—Farm women of the Middle West, West and Northwest are in political revolt, Benjamin C. Marsh, managing director of the Farmers' National Connell, declared here today. According to Marsh, they arc organizing for activity in the nex congressional campaign to support the program of the United Farmers' National "bloc,” the new farmers' organization recently launched in Chicago to-stand behind the agriculture "bloc” in Congress and to secure "balance o # power” in national elections. /They will send speakers to appeal to F l * now woman voter in the East to help them by suporting legislation proposed for relief of the farmers. Marsh stated. “The farm mothers and farm children are the worst sufferers from conditions which are driving .farmers throughout the country to ruin," he said. “The women are thoroughly aroused and will be heard from with their ballots in the next election. “The United Farmers' National 'bloc 1 is going to begin to organize In a nonpartisan way to carry out its program in the coming congressional ele<Sion to hold the balance of power in the strategic States and congressional districts in the Northwest, Middle West and Far West.” Marshall declared the Republican party is "doomed.” He announced that the Farmers' National Council is supporting the Calder bill, which provides for publicity regarding the coal Industry. The bill was killed In the Senate. Marsh declared the coal industry is “in the most chaotic state, with the railroads a second.”

The exemption for single persons remains at SSOO. These exemptin' s will be only on incomes from personal services, salaries and wages.

NAME CAUSES SOME TO FEAR REVOLUTION Chicago Woman Says Opening of D. A. R. Headquarters Caused Sitr. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ix-de-r. By CONSTANCE DKKXEL. WASHINGTON, March I.—" They thought the revolution had come In America when they read of ‘the headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution' at tho opening of the Washington conference," said Mrs. Raymond Robing of Chicago, who recently prnsldet at Geneva at the second convention of he International Working Women's ’ gue. "All ts of people kept telling me seriously there would be a revolution lu America,” she explained. "I only laughed them off, but Just to prove how things are misunderstood, intelligent persons were sure tboy were right when they read the headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution had been opened.” Speaking ss the president of the National Women’s Trade Union League, Mrs. Robins again assailed the equal rights legislation of tha National Woman’s party to an audlenee overflowing tho library In the home of Mr. Girford Plnchot. Among her Auditors were Mrs. Herbert Hoover and Mrs. Medlll McCormick. v WOMEN OPPOSE EQUAL RIGHTS PLANS. Beside* Mrs. Robins, Miss Julia O'Connor, of the Telephone Operators' Union of Boston; Miss Agues Nestor of Chicago, of tho Glove Makers' Union, and Mrs. Maud Schwartz, recently elected vice president of the International Working Women's League, ali spoke against the proposed legislation, both national and State by State. That Is, all speaker* made It clear they objected only to the method. They fenr the so-called blanket bill, which seeks to remove all Inequalities before the law, automatically would n*move protective legislation already enacted for women lu Industry. That Is the same stand maintained by Samuel Uompera, president of tho American Federation of Labor. All speakers emphasized their accord with the aim of the "equal rights" legislation. They, too, wish women to have guardianship of children, equal property rights and opportunity to servo on Juries and all office*, but they wish a separate bill for those reforms, in their opinion. If there Is a “blanket bill" for equality It will mean literal equality/ which working women do not want. They want all tli a rights and some of the privileges because of physical disabilities cf women.

CHARGR PARTY CAUSES CLASS FEELINO. Both Mrs Robins and Mrs. Schwarts openly charged the national woman’s party with bringing about the same bltternesa existing in England and in other European countries between the professional and middle class women and the working women. Mrs. Robins said, in presiding in Geneva, tho working women would not even let her give tho floor to suffragists and other so-called feminists who were trying to legislate for equality, which the working women did not wan*. Tho same bitterness exists In England. It seemed as If tho national woman’i party was In for a bad afternoon. Mrs. Medill McCormick, who by her Incisive speech always makes an Impression, caused a ripple of consternation when she charged the National Woman’s Party with being supported on Capitol Hill by Mrs. Belmont’s money. Mrs. McCormick sail she spoko for Republican women In opposing the equal rights legislation ns proposed by the National Woman's Party, though, agreeing with many of its provisions.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

The flower of affection blooms anew for Lawrence Tilton, successful young attorney, when Diana Richmond returned from England after an absence of five years. Previous to her going, Tiiton had been her guardian and had cherished a hope that some day he would make her Ills wife. While visiting relatives In England, Diana meets Lord Banister, whom she marries. With the breakout of the great war, Lord Banister is railed to tha colors and is ‘killed In action. In a partial settlement of estates, the Earl of llardcaster, brother of laird Banister, presents Diana with the famous Hardens ter family jewels, valued at a half million dollars. On her return to her American home, Diana brings the gems with her. A Spanish woman, alleging to be the widow of tha Ear! of llardcaster, follows Diana to America and demands the gams, threatening charges of thelt and exposure If they are not turned over to her. Diena lays her dUtiooltles before Lawrence Tilton for solution. Later developments show the Spanish woman to be only an adventuress and Philip Morell, student friend of the Richmond family, proves to be an accomplice.

CHAPTER Vll—Continued Tom had u sincere respect and affection for Tilton, but to do him Justice, the boy had no idea of the lawyer's hopes In regard to bis sister, consequently, when he urged, and assisted Morell'e suit, It was not In disloyalty to hi* guardian, but an earnest of his good will to his new friend. And so Larry chafed under the Interruptions, and In spite of all his resolutions, the time had passed and no apparent progress had been made with Dl. He was still waiting for tho opportune moment, when one morning he received a long distance telephone call Be! den. "I want you to run out for dinner tonight,” Dl aatd, he fancied rather breathlessly. “Bring your bag and stay over Sunday." It was Friday and Larry seldom took a day off, hut his mind was Instantly made np to go. Ho pretended, however, to demur. “It's awfully nice of yon, Dl, and I thank you extremely, but I’m afraid I can't get out until tomorrow,’’ he said, trying to conceal the Joy her words had conveyed. "I have a special case that needs close attention." Ho listened eagerly for her answer. It catno In unmistakably anxious tones. “You must come, Lurry kins. 1 depend upon you. You cannot tail me,” she said finally. Larry was alarmed by her tone, but ho suppressed his anxiety. "If any one Is going to fall yon, Dl. heaven knows It Isn't going to be me." he said reassuringly. "If you say the word I’ll take the next train ont. Can't you tell me what has gone wrong? I know from your voice that something Is distressing you."

"Don't ask Questions, Larry. Flease do as I ask, and come at the usual time, so that you get here for dinner,” shs replied. evidently relieved by bis readiness to come to her.' Then she- rang off abruptly. In a greater Quandary than ever, I-arry began to make preparations to be out of j ills office for several days, “I believe Mr. Tilton Is In love with that Lady Banister,” Miss Ellis told her jeanfldante, Grace, later on. "He's going off for the rest of the week, and perhaps a part of next week.” “Our boss taking a vacation! It will be tho death of him I” Grace said in mock horror. “What has happened?” “Oh, my lady called him up this morning, and he has been off his head 'ever sincr,” Miss Ellis whispered. In affected dlspalr. “lie has started to dictate a dozen different things and given them all up.” "That mysterious lady will cause him trouble yet, unless I'm much mistaken,” Groce said ominously. "She's beautiful, but whenever she comes here the boss looks anxious for days after/ He should remember the lines: 'lf she bo not fair to me, what care I how fair she be',” “Do you think he loves her?” Miss Rills asked curiously. “I used to think that he eared foT nothing but money,” Grace said thoughtfully, “but I've reversed my opinion. I'm positive of one thing, though, Mr. Tilton has a rival In that black-eyed follow, Morell, or my name Is not Grace Barker.” "If I thought she cared anything about him I would tell her a few things," Miss Ellis said warmly. “I would tell her anyway on her brothre’s account, only I'm afraid she would be offended.” "If I kinfw anything about that bullfighting Mexican, Porto Rican, South American, or whatever ho Is, I’d tell It and not let him get ahead of our boss,” Gra<-, declared vehemently, "and I wouldn’t lei! It to her, either. I'd tell It to Mr. Tilton. You started to tell me yesterday, but we were Interrupted. What did you see? I'll tell the boss, If you want me to.” "No, no, Grace,” Miss Ellis said nervously. “It was perhaps nothing; maybe I was ncedlessly anxious. "Well, tel: me, anyway,” Grace coaxed, “and we’ll decide afterward what we ought io dc." CHAPTER VIII. “It was Inst Tuesday evening, I was in a restaurant on Broadway with some I friends when 7 saw this man Morell," ] Miss Ellis began. “He was at a rear j table and we sat at the next but one to him. At first 'here was no one' at tho j

table in between aud when the woman ! I told you about came in and sat down with him I could easily see her actions, j and occasionally catch a word of her j conversation. "She was simply beautiful. Tho same I black-eyed, ivory-skinned type as kiinj seif. She had a trick of reaching across | the table and stroking his arm, perhaps, I for emphasis. Every time she did it her long-finger. I hand reminded me of those sleek panthers at the zoo. At. first she was very angry and seemed to scold him for not going ahead with somethiug. Then I heaipl him say that he musr. make love before he could make progress.” "What do you suppose he meant by that?” Grace asked, In puzzled tones. “He must be up to some kind of mischief,’’ Miss Ellis went on. “The reason I thought that Lady Banister would be interested 'was because Morell must have told the woman to be reasonable because she repeated. “Reasonable! How can I be reasonable with you constantly at the side of the most beautiful woman in America ?’’ “At first she seemed to threaten and he coaxed. Then later he appeared to be scolding lier, and she fawmed and pawed him with her long white claws. I could have heard more of their conversation, only I didn’t want my friends to know that I was listening. Then some people took the table in between us, and I heard no more, but their actions showed that they took a long time to come to an understanding." “Did they seem to be In love?” Grace asked curiously, “or was It some other mutual ground they had met upon?” “They certainly did,” Miss Ellis averred. “But she was Impatient about some delay, and she evidently lost her temper. He accused her of being Jealous, and that made her furious, but they went out of the restaurant, clinging to each other In tha most ridiculous fashion; whatever the trouble was they had made up.” “Well, what are you going to do about It?” Grace demanded. “If X were In your place I’d—” Tilton’s door wag heard to close gently. The girls looked at each other in blank dismay. “ITe must htve been listening.” Grace said under her breath. “He wouldn't have to listen with that door open,” Miss Ellis said slowly. “Grace, what most he think of us?” “We can’t tell him now, that's certain,” Grace declared. “lie would think j we wore making a virtue of necessity. 1 After all, there's nothing to worry about. ■ We wanted him to know, anyhow.” But Miss Ellis looked alarmed. “It’s all right for yon to feel that way about It, but I shouldn’t have talked; it Isn’t ethical to discuss youV employer j when you are in a confidential position. Frankly, I’m ashamed of myself,” she said "hi vexed tones. “What we talked about had nothing to do with the office,’’ Grace reassured her. (To Be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. Bv DAVID CORY. “Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief, Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef; I went to Taffy’s house, Taffy wasn't home, Taffy came to my house and stole a marrow-boue; I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was In bed, I took the marrow-bone and beat about hla head.” “Well, I guess yon did what was right,” said Puss Junior, as he and Tom Thumb stood near a butcher shop in a small * village. The butcher, who had Just spoken In rhyme, shifted from one foot to the other in an uneasy sort of way. “But that Isn't all,” he went on to say. In rather an anxious tone of voice. “Toll us the worst, then,” laughed Puss Junior, who didn’t appear very sympathetic, although tha name Taffy appealed to him and mado him wonder what sort of a person Taffy was. "The truth of the matter is,” the butcher went on to say, “I hit him a bit too hard with the marrow-bone. His head Is In pretty bad shape, and the doctor says it will bo some weeks yet before Taffy grts out of bed.” “Gracious me!” exclaimed Tom Thumb. "Why weren’t yon more careful?” “That's Just It,” replied the butcher. “Why wasn’t I more careful?” And then be gave a sigh and went Into his shop to wait on a customer. •‘Let's make a call on Taffy.” said Tuss Junior. “Somehow 1 can't help liking him. I don’t know whether It's on account of his name, or not. But Taffy sounds awfully nice to me.” “It tastes awfully good to me,” laughed Tom Thumb. “Y'ou must have him mixed up with candy. That's the reason you like him, I guess. “Come on and we’ll soon find out.” cried Puss Junior. “I’m curious to see what ‘Welsh Taffy’ Is like,” So they both walked up the street, Inquiring on the way where Taffy lived. If the house Taffy owned was any Indication that Taffy was a nice sort of person. It certainly spoke well for him. fofi* it was the prettiest and most homelike little place Puss had ever seen. “I like him already,” said Puss, as he knocked on the door. And In the next story yon shall hear what • happened after that.—Copyright. 1922. (To Be Continued.)

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited income [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of i the home are solved by working ou i the budget that Mrs. Hooper has > evolved and found practical. Follow | them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the couditions of the high cost of living with them.] WEDNESDAY. In Mayfield Mrs. Hooper had always devoted Wednesday to ironing und sortj llJ g Ike clothes to be mended as the logiI cai thing to be done following wash day ; ou Tuesday and she Intended to continue i this practice on her hew schedule as she found that Thursday was quite as good as any o.her in Indianapolis on which to market or shop. She was very glad to find herself In possession of her faithful electric iron which Mrs. Selden had toid her she might take the Mayfield house, as she had no earthly use for it. She would have had to buy anew one. ! t>he figured that In spite of the cost of j electricity which she found cost more | per watt than she had paid In Mayfield she could accomplish so much more and so much better work with an electrlo iron that she wouldn’t think of going back to a gas iron or one that was heated on the range. So having one In her possession made Just one article less of equipment that she had to buy out of her meager funds. She found, however, that In the laundry where her' Ironing table and board was installed there was no convenient place to attach the electric Iron. It had to be screwed into the fixture in the middle of the room. This made it necessary to put the table under it which was an awkward place for It to be, and in a position which gave her a very poor light. She decided that her first Investment would be the putting In of several sockets In different places In the house which would give her the convenience to #hich she had been accustomed in the use of her reading lamp and electric iron and the little toaster on which she had always made her toast at the breakfast table. The lamp and the toaster had been left at Mayfield as part of the furnishings for which the Seidens wq*c paying rent but Mrs. Hooper Intended to replace both these necessities as soon as she could. As she did the Ironing today with the table In vhe wrong place and the annoyance and waste of time In haring to detach the cord each time she used tho iron because It persisted in getting tangled she figured out Just what she could do In this laundry at a minimum of expense to make it a duplicate of her convec'ent and labor saving one in Mayfield. She made a number of notations In her Inspection book and decided to have Henry aud Roger devote their Saturday to fixing It up. It would be Just as well to begin these Individual improvements that she would have to add to nearly every room la the house right In the laundry and then work toward the front and upper part of the house. The expense of It all appalled her as she remembered how much In debt they were, but as Henry had observed they would probably be a long time in Indianapolis because of his Job which looked as if it would be a permanent one, and making tho house a workshop in which she could be an efficient workman was something in which she intended to indulge herself with the firm belief that In the end they would be more effectively released from debt even If It might taka a little longer. The electrician would have to be called in to install the new wiring and sockets and some boards and brackets wonld havs to be bought for the shelves, but everything else she and Roger and Henry could do easily without any added expense.
