Greek Professor Speaks at Butler Facuity Meeting A paper of Interest in educational circles was read before the Butler College Faculty Club at Its last meeting, by Miss Anna Weaver, Professor of Greek at Butler, the general theme being a comparison of the civilization of Athens with the civilization of Indianapolis. Miss Weaver painted for her audience a word picture of the natural and architectural background of Athenium civilization, showing clearly how the symetry and balance of the Greek moral ideal were portrayed In the inimitable curves of Grecian temples. In concluding Miss Weaver said Athens, queen of the Hellenic world, pre-eminent in culture was second only to Indianapolis in respect to the selertiflc technique of our modern, all too materialistic civilization. The paper was followed by a discussion after which the club adjourned to the home of President R. J.‘ Aley, where D. W. E. Richardson, presided over the social hour Kindergarten Aid in Training of Child “If we do not give children our best In their childhood, they will give us their worst In their adulthood.” While we are spending a vast amount of money upon our criminal classes, w are permitting another crop of criminals to develop by our neglect to furnish the moral, social, and Industrial training which the kindergarten provides at the most impressionable time of life.

Side Lights on the Auto Show The grace and beauty of the ears at the auto show resemble the taste and care that the women of today show in their dress. Many cars have bright colored hats—California tops.

MARYLAND MAY EXEMPT WOMEN FROM JURY DUTY Equal Rights Legislation Brings Bombardment of State Assembly. By CONSTANCE D REXEL. WASHINGTON, March 10.—Annapolis, capital of Maryland Is now the scene of a battle of words over equal rights legislation. A “blanket” bill revoking practically all disabilities agajust women was passed by the House last week. Jury duty, however, was exempted. Many* men don’t want their women serving on juries. Now the State Senate Is being bombarded by women, both for and against this legislation proposed by the National Women’s Party. The Maryland branch of the National Women’s League is lead--1112 the opposition. Yesterday milch hilarity was caused by a bill introduced by State Senator Knoe of Baltimore. It proposed to put men on equal footing with their wives, making wives equally responsible for contributing to the support of the family. Other provisions made women pay alimony to their husbands and liable to arrest for non-support. These tactics contributed to the gayety of the occasion, but not much else. Answering criticism that "equal rights" legislation would upset welfare and protective laws for women in industry, the National Woman’s Party Just a statement giving opinions of Wisconsin's equal rights law passed June 21, 1921. “it has proved Its value by actual teat, say Wisconsin State and National officials," is the assertion. It Is supported by favorable opinions from Governor John ,1. Blaine, United States Senators, Lenroot and La Follette and many others, including Congressmen and State officers. But the most important opinion, In view of the opposition of those fearing "equal rights" will Jeopardize protective legislation for women, is from B. E. Witte, secretary of the industrial commission of Wisconsin. The letter Is from Madison, the State capitol, dated Tan. 18, 1922, and reads: "Replying to your letter of Jan. 14, allow us to state that no suit has been filed to contest the validity of women’s, welfare laws, in view of the passage of the so-called ’women's rights bill’ by the last Legislature nor has any employers association ever suggested that the effect of this women's right* bill is to repeal the women's welfare law*. A few representatives of women's organizations have taken this position, but nobody else has done so or is required to do so." Signed industrial commission, E E Witte, secretary. While the four-power pact was being discussed In the Senate chamber, there was great excitement In committee room* yesterday, when It looked as if the children's bureau appropriation would be slashed. One thing Is sure, the women hnrk home don’t realize what bard work what heartburnings and what eternal vigilance fs necessary here on the part of the small group of women who are watching so Congress will still leave the women's bureau and children s bureau In the scheme of Government. ProbaWy you will say, ’’but Congress created those bureaus years ago and they have proved beneficial to the whole country .’’ “Yes." Is the answer, “but each succeeding Congress can *0 emasculate the appropriation as to hinder If no. ellmltmre the work." In the case of the wotjien'* and children’s bureau, the latter with the added appropriation for the Sheppard-Towner maternity bill, these came sailing through the House the other day, ns reported in these dispatches But did that end the story? Oh, no. The appropriations had to go to a Senate committee before they even got to the Senate and then they hare to go back to a conference committee to iron out differences. All this In apite of the fact that these appropriation* are included in the budget. Well, all the executive sceretarlea of all the big women’s orgnnlzntlona are terribly disturbed because the Senate commute slashed the appropriation for tho children’s bureau and for the maternity bill. The ultimate result !* In doubt All of which proves that "humanizing Congress" is some job and that the women who are at it deserve great credit for their patience and perseverance.—Copyright 1922, by Public Ledger Company Begin in Childhood to Train Leaders “Tour true democracy must have lead ers; and the better the loaders, the better the democracy.

WOMAN TO ARGUE CASE BEFORE U. S. SUPREME COURT Chicago Female Attorney Studies Patents for 25 Years. WASHINGTON, March 10.—Arguments made by a woman will be heard shortly by the Supreme Court of the United States In a patent law case which is of Importance to every manufacturer. The point, decision on which will establish a precedent. Is this: Can the owner of a patent sell the rights In that patent simply for tho sake of allowing a third party to start litigation? Miss Florence King of Chicago is the woman who will argue the case. She will argue any time one asks on behalf of more Federal Judges “whose courts are clogged because of the attempted enforcement of the prohibition law, while business ineh must let their important cases wait.” Miss King has two unusual honors. She Is the only woman who ever won a case before the Supreme Court of the United States, and she Is the only worn an member of the American Association of Engineers, having Just been eletced a vice president of the Chicago chapter. This membership Is extended only to those who have completed at least one course In engineering and have been engagod in th* profession for ev*n years. ' SHE’S NO FADDIST. Having spent twenty five years in patent law, Miss King is no feminine fad dist by any means, yet she often addresses women's clubs and civic soclee ties. “Among other things," says Miss King, “that attempted enforcement of the prohibition law has so clogged the wheels of Justice in the Federal courts that It has become 'lmperative for Congress to epeadlly enact legislation providing for additional Federal Judges. "More than three years have passed since the war ended, and the profiteers nre still doing business at wartime prices, secure in the knowledge that an attempted prosecution means long delays. Speedy trials would do more to put an end to the high cost of living than all the Investigating committees, boycott# and other suggested methods can ever do.” The case to come up for argument be fore the Supreme Court is, in the opinion of Miss King, simply one of a big con cern trying to put a smaller one out of business. On tills ease Miss King says: "In my case for the Crown Dye and Tool Cos., In which the Nye Tool anil Machine Cos. is the respondent, the Nye concern has no patents of its own upon which It can bring suit. So It purchased from & third party the right to promote litigation. Upholding of such a right by the highest court would create anew weapon by which a large company could stifle free competition. It is against this that I am fighting, for such a decision would place a prohibitive premium on tho man who had inventive genius starting in business for himself. Neither would an honest concern feel like putting money in anew patent with the flood-gates open Fo litigation rights simply by purchase. In other words, the whole Issue is: 'Vbat protection does the law afford the owner of ft patent?” Feel That Pinch? Negress Does Not; Is ‘Pinched ’ Again BLI’EFIELD, 'V. Vn., March 10.—An In loresting experiment with the muchmooted problem ns to how much moonshine liquor n person can carry around without detection has resulted In a fizzle here. The experimenter was a colored woman who cave her name as Sarah Cook and her place of residence as Roanoke, Vn. Sarah alighted from a railroad train and started up Princeton avenue past Ell Watkins, State prohibition agent, and Jerry Watkins, deputy sheriff. They eyed her and noticed a pecularlty about her gait nnd her figure. Finally one of the officers grabbed her and gave her a pinch. ••Did yon feel me, pinch you?" he asked. "No, sah," the negress replied. "Well, then you’re ’pinched,’ ” the officer said. They took her before a magistrate, where three gallon* of moonshine whisky in hot water bottles was taken from under her corset. . The woman was fined *IOO and sentenced to serve thirty day# in Jail.

THIMBLEITHIMBLE! By CONSTANCE CORNWALL

* Lawrence Tilton and Diana Richmond anxiously await the coming of Tom, who will bring news of the auto wreck in vvhioh Phillip Morel! is reported to have been seriously injured while hurrying away with the case which he supposed contained the Ilardi-aster Jewels, Valued at a half million. While debating the events that led up to the present moment, Tilton is unnhle to keep down hi# Jealousy of Morel I and give# Diana his reasons for believing him to be a fraud. Tilton is not yet certain that Morell did not escape with the gems. The story nears Us conclusion. Read on to the end. CHAPTER XU— Continued Di shot a surprised glance at her lover for a second, and then averted her eyes from his steadfast gaze. “Don’t ask such unkind questions, Larry,” she implored. “Do you think that I am capable of screening a man who would rob me while he is a guest In my mother’s house? Do be reasonable.’’ "Then why didn't you tell me, dear?” Larry persisted. “See what trouble and loss you would have been spared. Besides, what use am I If you do not let me help you when you ale in trouble?" Still Di offered no further explanation, and the lawyer was more than ever convince,! that she whs withholding something. That she cared nothing for Morell he was certain, but he hated to think that she would show him the least consideration. - ' Why hud she ascribed all her anxiety during the evening In Tom’s absence, Instead of confiding the real cause to him? The more Larry thought of it the hnrder the problem seemed to solve. Another glance at her made him ashamed of his doubts. She looked so pale aud unstrung, while she bravely kept back the t e ars and complaints, he decided that whatever Bbe did was for the best, but he failed to conceal his wounded feelings when he said: “I won’t tease you any more, dear. Some day I may earn your full confidence, then you will not withhold it. Until then I will he content with what you give me.’’ Before he had finished speaking Di was at his side, her anna flung around his neck. “[ told you I'm a perfect little beast.’ she said and burst Into a violent flood of tears. Larry Was so startled by the vehemence of her grief for a moment he was silent, holding her closely to him. He waited until the spasm that seemed to shake her body and soul and make her deaf to his entreaties had abated; then he said in humbled tones: “Forgive me, dear. I didn’t mean to make you cry. I'm a brute." Then he covered her face with kisses and dried her eyes. Di stood quite still for another minute, her face burled on his shoulder, then looking, up in his face she said solemnly: “It's all my fault. My wickedness has brought about all this trouble. Let me tell you before Tom arrives how I misjudged the poor boy. You will never love me again, I know, but I would rather have you hate ine for the real cause than have you think that I have concealed anything to spare Morell.” She broke down again aud cried bitterly. • flush, DI,” he said firmly. Her sobs pierced his heart, although he had a vague feeling that the tears would bring relief. “You know that 1 shall always love you, whatever yon have done; and I don’t believe you are a little beast, at all. Whatever you did was right. If it has not turned out in our favor it is not your fault.” “You will change your opinion," she said ominously. As soon as she was able to control her voico she explained that a terrible anxiety had Weighed upon her heart all the evening, and for which Bhe now desplsod herself. From the moment she had seen Morcil's face at her window she had connected Tom’s absence from home with the design upon her treasure. She admitted that the suspicion was contemptible, nnd didn't attempt to excuse it, but she reasoned that the boy's attachment to the man had been inexplicable from the first. She had suffered tortures, believing that tho arch scoundrel had gained an accendency over the trustful boy, who ordinarily was slow to rnaliO intimate friends. She feared that he had fallen into tho older man’s hands without giving much thought to the consequence. Di had also henrd from her brother that several young men had lost a lot of money at cards with Morell, who, it appeared, was an expert player. Her worst fears, she told Larry, were that Tom had fallen Into the man’s power through Indebtedness. •“You asked me why I didn’t cry for the loss of my Jewels. I had not been ablo to cry for them, but I have cried outwardly and inwardly ever since dinner when Tom didn’t come home. Is it any wonder I was ashamed to tell you my wicked suspicions ?” she pleaded. Larry sssured her that she was In no way to blame. He said that under the circumstances any one was liable to feel the same nervous alarm. Her feelings toward her brother, he said, was fear, not suspicion, and she should not reproach herself for a very natural anxiety. “If you told me your fears I think I could have given you assurance at once," Larry said confidently, "Tom is the kind of boy to admire ardently a clever man, who Is older than himself—there's no denying the fact, that Morell is clever nnd can be very agreeable—but woe betide this same clever man if In the

slightest degree he descends from the pinnacle upon which young ingenuousness has placed him. Morell was wise enough to know that, Tom served his purpose when he brought him home, and incideutly introduced him to his friends, giving the gambler an opportunity to win their money.’’ "Here comes Tom, now; I'll confess and beg his pardon,” she said meekly. "Hush. Not a word tonight,” Larry commanded. "Tomorrow- you will be calmer; at present we'll listen to Tom’s adventure. He may have the jewels. 1 told him to look out for the box that Morell took. I wanted to get Fifl back and give her the decent burial that you Intended for her. Halloo, old man; how goes it?" he called to the young man as he came up to the door. Larry spoke easily, but he had sprung to the side of tho machine and was scrutinizing the seats and Tom s hands. “Didn't you get the box?” he asked hurriedly. "I was too late," the boy answered In defeating tones. "Where are you going at this hour?” indicating the other car. "To follow Morell,” the lawyer declared. "Which way did he go?” Tom turned a white, drawn face to the older man and said quietly: "You had better not try to follow him.” "Why not?” Larry demanded hurriedly. "Where Is he?” Tom was pushing his car into the garage, and Tilton had hold of the opposite wheel. Their glances met across the car as the boy said: “I don't know, but I strongly suspect that he’s in hell.” "Do you mean that he’s dead?” DI and Larry spoke simultaneously. “Then why didn't you bring the box I told you to look out for?" Larry asked tly the young man's affirmative nod. “He had already met a man and a woman on the road and given them the box before the accident occurred,” Tom explained. ‘He died forty minutes after we got him hi the hospital. That couple had time to get fifty miles away before I reached Morell.". CHAPTER XIII. Larry reluctantly walked back to the house with the brother and sister. As soon as they reached the library Tom threw his arms around Di's neck. His shoulders shook suspiciously like crying. Di patted him fondly, motioning over his head to Larry to get something from the sideboard. “You poor boy," she said tenderly, “you’ve had no dinner, and the strain has been too mueh for you.” (To Bo Continued.) PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. The loud ringing of a bell awoke everyone In Crusoe Castle. Fuss Junior Jumped out of his hammock and little Tom Thumb yawned and asked in a sleepy voice, “Who’s ringing the door bell?” Then Crusoe picked up the ladder and went outside and, placing it against the fence, climbed up to the. top, and after that he pulled up the ladder and then let it down on the outside. All this time Snoozer stood below wagging his tail, while Mr. Crusoe’s two eats. Caramel and Caroline, purred and rubbed against the Calender Foie, Pretty soon a curly-headed black face appeared above the wall. “Black man Friday," whispered Tom Thumb. “Bow-wbw!” yelped Snoozer. and In a few minutes Mr. Cri/soe and his man Friday climbed down the ladder. “This Is my good man Friday,” said Mr. Crusoe. So Puss and Tom Thumb shook hands with him, which seemed to please him immensely. “Glum-glum. Blum-blunt!’’ he cried, smiling and showing a row of Tery white teeth. "That’s ‘Howdy! Pleased to meet you,’ in his language.” said Mr. Crtisoe. “He can talk very little English yet, I've had little time to devote to his education so far." “But who rang the bell?" asked Puss Junior. “Why, Friday did, of course,” replied Mr. Crusoe. “Come over here and I’ll show you.” And then he led Puss to the renr of the cave. "I brought this bell from the wreck," explained Mr. Crusoe. After Friday <*ame to me I tied a rope to it. At the other end of the rope I fastened a door knob. When I go out Friday usually stays In. And when I ring the bell he lets down the ladder to me. And when he's out he rings the bell. Just as he did this morning, and I let the ladder down to hlin.” “What do you do when both of yon go (Ait?” asked Puss. “Does Snoozer attend to the ladder?” "No, no," replied Mr. Crusoe. "We hide the ladder in the woods near by. Then when we come back we get It out and stand It up against the wall and climb up." "Supposing someone should come across the ladder and make a call while you're out?” nsked Tom Thumb. "Well, I don’t know whether they'd think of that If they Just happened to find the ladder.” answered Mr. Crusoe. “Well, supposing they did," said Tom Thumb. “Caesar’s Ghost!” cried Mr. Crtisoe. “Suppose we don’t do any more supposing! I’ve been so long alone that I’ve forgotten how to piny that game. Let’s all go down to the beach and get some fresh soft clams for breakfast. Start the water-boiling. Friday, we’re going to have steamed clams for breakfast.” And then Mr. Crusoe climbed up the ladder, with Puss nnd Tom close at bis heels.— Copyright, 1922. , To Be Continued.

Some of her friends in Mayfield had been advocating (the use of paper towels for nearly every- ; thing in the kitchen and letting the dishes stand in the drainer to dry after boiling water had been poured on them. Mrs. Hooper was rather Included to cling to the old way of wiping the dishes on cloth towels. She promised herself a 1 roll of paper towelling to hang in the kitchen, however, on which to wipe her hands and to use for wiping dirty pots and pans. "I suppose I’ll come to It as I have to so many other things,” she said as she folded up the new dish towels while she sat talking to Henry in the living-room while Helen and Roger studied their lessons in the dining-room as they used to do at Mayfield, "but wiping the dishes on nice clean towels that one washes out 1 and hangs up to dry .each time never seemed such an to me as some women make of it.” "Such a lot of time is spent abont it is the greatest objection to the old method that I can see,” remarked Henry. "I wait a long time for you to get In here to talk with me after dinner just because you insist on wiping all those dishes.” i “Helen used to do them in Mayfield,” j said Mrs. Hooper, “but she hag so much ! more studying to do here that I want her to get at her home lessons as soon as possible or it makes it too late about her going to bed.” “Well, I was just wondering If you didn’t wipe the dishes, but Just left them jto dry the way they do in hotels, where machinery takes care of so many of the details of housework, If they wouldn’t do just as well for breakfast, and then you’d be out of the kitchen and in here in the (living room with me at least half an hour | earlier.” j "Oh, If you are going to put it in that | light and not in the one in which I’ve ! been considering it of accepting it as ■ a labor-saving device, I’ll have to consider it,” said Mrs. Hooper, laughing as she continued to fold the new dish towels. ; "What’s the program for tomorrow aftj ernoon for Roger and me?” asked Henry. ; "To make an up-to-date workshop of that nice kitchen for me the way you did the laundry last week,” said Mrs. Hooper.

They’re putting a bit on the side again here in Paris. In other words smart ; side drapings for women’s, gowns are popular again. One model which I saw recently was of Canton crepe and had a I long side panel, a big corsage rose and ! long slashed sleeves. This frock was : quite effective and It wasn’t expensive ■ ns women’s gowns go. A report sent out from here recently j about corsets seems to have been mlsi understood In America. It said that es- ; forts to make the corset popular again j had proved a failure. Nothiug could be further from the truth. The report referred to the old-fashioned, stiff, tightlylaced corset. That will never come back, but the modern style corset, covering the hips and torso Is extremely popular here and dealers are finding It hard to meet the dohiand. Four fifths of the women of France are wearing corsets. The other fifth lives in the rjral districts or is too young to need shape and bracing at the waist. A wealthy young American met a very pretty girl In a case here recently and, in payment for dancing with him a number of times (he Is a terrible dancer) ha told her he would buy her a fine gown. Next day he went to a prominent dressmaker’s to select the gown himself and, lo and behold, hi* lady fair came out arrayed In it, to demonstrata Its virtues. She was a model. CLEAR TESTIMONY.
