The American dance has at last invaded the Orient. JUDGING by Lloyd Georges expression he was not altogether comfortable in his court attire at Princess Mary’s wedding. IT NOW seems that the late John F- Dodge knew his son when he cut him off in his will with $l5O a month. JUST when you get the old car all tuned up for the spring drive somebody takes the joy out of life by raising the price of gasoline. STRANGE! The United States is going to concentrate the whisky supply, when everybody knows it should be diluted, if anything. JOHN C. SHAFFER should not feel so badly because Senator New has never thanked him for the Star’s support five years ago-politicians teldom do remember newspapers after they win. NOW that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has protested against the killing or capture of the Patagonian Plesiosaurus 11 should turn its attention to the Antigonish ghost. A Chance for Better Results That those officials charged with the enforcement of the prohibition law have come to a that their methods are unequal to the task of coping with the wiley bootleggers seems to be confirmed by the latest order grouping the general agents into eighteen districts and making the State prohibition heads responsible to the division chiefs, instead of reporting directly to Washington. This action replaces Indiana in the group plan which was found workable before the Harding Administration broke up the enforcement system into State units. This State now will be joined with Ohio and the lower peninsula of Michigan. It remains to be seen whether the new arrangement will cause the enforcement bureaus, especially that in Indiana, to pay more attention to ferreting out illicit stills and apprehending rum-runners than it is paying to the renomination of its political sponsor and patron saint as a candidate for the United States Senate- By bringing the authority responsible for enforcement activities closer to the State chief rn actual opportunity for coordinated work Is presented and if this system is properly dsed it should not fail to bring results. A great field for work exists in Indiana. The prohibition law is not being enforced as it. should be. The prohibition officers defend their inability to seize the bootleggers and the moonshiners by citing the meagerness of congressional appropriations and in the same breath blame local authorities for not performing their duties. " All of which may be true and undoubtedly it is true that in some communities the local officials are loath to arrest their favorite bootleggers, but the deliberate and unaggressive actions of the bureatj has at least left it open to the suspicion that it is not doing all within its power to stamp out the steady flow of illicit liquor. Reports from the Calumet district show that insane asylums and the jails there are being filled with “mule” zrazed unfortunates. That district should afford a lucrative source for Investigation on the part of the enforcement officers if there are indications that the local officers are not coping with the situaticn. The raid at Clinton was commendable, but Bert Morgan, the State enforcement officer, has never explained why it took him minths to prepare for the affair. A man arrested in Detroit told the judge he had eighty-eight barrels of whisky cached in Indianapolis and pleaded for permission to return : here and sell it, yet the prohibition officials here pooh poohed the idea and dismissed it with the statement that “I don't be’ieve It.” Yet it is a fact that bootleggers are carrying their samples about the city and are retailing it much in the same fashion that the old-time peddler used In going from stqre to store. And it is an unfortunate fact that until the enforcement bureau can demonstrate that it is not a mere political machine interested in the fate of one candidate, but is actuated by a desire to stamp out liquor traffic in 1 Indiana, the public will have little confidence in its ability to wisely meet j the situation with which it is confronted today. Church Solves Child Problem A New York church, feeling the absence of parents of young children from the Sunday night congregation, has installed a nursery where youngsters may be checked while their fathers and mothers attend divine services. The nursery is in charge of a parts*’ worker who leads the children in games and regales them with stories and sees that they are tucked away comfortably if the sandman steals along. In the meantime the parents, undisturbed by the restlessness of tots too young to understand the meaning of church sendees, may give their* undivided attention to the sermon and. afterward, find their children, refreshed by wholesome games and entertainment, ready for the homeward journey and slumberland. “Our aim in the nursery is to instruct as well as to entertain the children,” says the attendant. “Instead of trying to make them sit still through sermons they cannot understand, and thus make them hate church, we believe it is best to entertain them and make them enjoy coming here. Thus they become a part of the church and as they grow older they will come to the services.” Standardize the Interest Rates “The lower the rate of interest the safer the investment” is a statement as true as it is old. The best bond in the world is Uncle Sam's, because the rate of interest is the lowest; the next is Great Britain's, and so on. The three or four leading countries of Europe who owe the United States about ten billion could all pay interest on what they owe us if they didn’t pay their own people a higher rate of interest than the United States pays on our Government bonds. When France pays her people 6% per cent for money she pays back to the French people 50 per cent more for money than the people of our country’ get from our Government France and all other countries that pay their people a higher rate than we get from our Government are discriminating against us—the country they owe- So long as they don’t or can’t pay us, they are bankrupt, and have no right in equity to make preferred creditors out of their own people. A United States commission has been appointed to make a settlement with the European counties that owe us. They cannot extend the time ot payment beyond twenty-five years or accept a rate of interest lower than 4% per cent. Now should the United States and European governments agree on a 5 per cent rate, then the United States should Insist and make It part of the contract for the extension of the balance due that these countries do not pay over 5 per cent to their own people for money, or we will never gpt a cent. The only thing that will bring the money of other sound governments back to par is standardizing the rate of interest It is a well-known principle in business that the only thing that can be spent Is the Interest or earnings on money. Capital changes hands, but cannot be lost or spent Let two men go in business and each borrow the same amount from the bank, one paying 5 per cent the other 10 per cent, and the 10 per cent man will bust every time. Force a uniform price (interest) for money upon all the countries we settle with, or don't settle. It won't do us any good to haTe a lot of worthless bonds on our, hands. Great Britain is only payin# 5 per cent for money and has included in her budget for the coming year the interest on what she owe3 us. That tells the story.—W. D- Boyce, in the Saturday Blade.

GOLDWYN PLANS MANY NEW MOVIES And Announces Casts for Big Screen Pictures

With Its productions for the current season practically all completed, Goldwyn Pictures Corporation is already far along in Its preparations for big new photoplays for the coming season. Production chiefs from the studios at Culver City Cal., have been In New York for various periods of time consulting with executives here about the new season and the type of pictures to be made. Abraham Lehr, production chief at the studios, was the first to arrive in New York. He was followed by Rupert Hughes, Goldwyn’s author director; Paul Bern, head of the editorial and scenario department, and Robert B. Mclntyre, casting director. Sophie Wacbner, director of wardrobes, was also recently in New York studying new styles for use in forthcoming productions. Mr. Bern closed some Important deals ! for original scenarios and screen rights ■ to plays and novels while in New York and Mr. Mclntyre engaged a number ofr players for Important roles In new pectures, in accordance with Goldwyn's announced intention of finding new screen , 'aces. It Is stated that there are great roles for some of Goldwyn's most important players In the new pictures under contemplation—not a 1 : ly so in the case of Helene Chadwick, Richard Dlx, Cullen Landis and Colleen Moore. Among the important pictures Which will receive early production are Rupert Hughes' “Bitterness of Sweets,'' which the author will adapt from his short story of that title and upon which he will get to work as soon as he has put the finishing touches to “Remembrance,” which he wrote, directed, titled and edited. Gouverneur Morris, author of “The Penalty,” “Ace of Hearts" and two big pictures now practically completed but not yet released, “Yellow Men and Gold” and “Whims of the Gods,” has written anew original screen story under the temporary title of “Always Warm and Green.” Peter B.

Street ears were tied up for moro than j an hour on the College avenue line last j night and two flremen/were hurt ns the j result of a $1,500 fire at the home of Walter R. Foltz. 24<16 College avenue. The i fire started in the basement of the build ing, a two story doublo structure. From the basement, the flames crept up into the interior of the house. The smoke which filled the rooms and billowed from all the windows made the work of the fire- [ men difficult. Throe lines of hose were laid by tho men of the three companies which came , in answer to the still alarm and a second call for aid. Lieutenant Miller, formerly a captain of negro Hose Company Id, was overcome by smoke when he descended Into the cellar to lay a line of hose. He wns dragged out by two members of his company. Fireman Herbert Nicholson, of Hose Company •? wns severely cut on ! the left foot wt. n an ax with which he ; was chopping through a partition, slipped from his grasp. He fell from the second floor to tho first floor. First aid was given him at n nearby drug store, and he was afterward taken to his home. Mr. Flotz said that the loss to his honse and furniture by fire and water was fully covered by insurance. HE'S BEGINNING EARLY.

Instead the board of works on Jan. 16 | ordered twenty-minute cross-town service in Washington street from Irvington to Mt. Jackson, which was discontinued several days ago and operation of College avenue cars over Delaware. Maryland and Pennsylvania streets, which was not put Into effect because there is no turnout from Maryland street north into Pennsylvania street. On Jan. 20 the hoard ordered the skipstop and mid block loading systems and they were put into effect Jan. 25. Tii Riverside rerouting and fairground and Washington street crosstowu service were ordered Jan. 30 and went into effect Feb. 1. DISCONTINUES MID-liLOtK LOADING. Mid-block loading was discontinued on order of the mayor Feb. 1 mid the skipstop abandoned Feb. 11. Meanwhile the board had ordered five Massachusetts avenue lines to loop around the courthouse, but rescinded the order before it became effective, when James I*. Tretton, superintendent of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, pointed out that it would mike Wash ington street between Delaware and Alabama streets more congested than any other block tn the city. It would cost the Indianapolis Street Railway Company SIO,OOO to install tho Washington to Pennsylvania street turnout. Mr. Tretton said. Traction officials declared the company did riot have the money. The board of works, by falling to order the turn-out, baa not tested the company on this point, however. If the turn-out were in twenty-seven College nnd twenty East Tenth street cars wtuld be taken off of the heavily congested parts of Washington nnd Illinois streets in the downtown loop, according to the committee's calculations. 1 Members of the committee who signed the recommendations were: Frederic M.

SECOND WOMAN IS VICTIM OF NEGRO’SATTACK Police Believe Assailant Is Same Who Struck Mrs. Opal Chappell. ! Mrs. Shirley Dorsey, 217 WeA Four--1 teenth street, was attacked by a- negro as she was entering the yard of her home last night at about 11 :2f) o’clock. She wns struck over the head with some inj strument, but was r.ot seriously hurt. From the description police believe the negro is the same one who struck Mrs. Opal Chappell, apartment No. 1, the Lexington, at about the same hour Monday night as she was passing an alley on Eleventh street between Illinois and Meridian streets. Mrs. Dorsey was not able to determine whether the instrument she was assaulted with was a broom or something else. The motive of the assailant Is not known. In neither case, It was said, did he attempT to commit robbery or ! criminal assault. Miss Pearl Williams, 240 East I’ratt si reet, was tiie victim of a purse snatcher ! near her home last night. Her pocket- : 1 ook containing money and valuables to the extent of $25 was taken. No trace ;ot the thief has been found. HOLD-UP VICTIM SHOWS SPEED. Fast footwork enabled Hugh Christie, ! Hi" North Alabama street, to elude two hold-up men, when he was stopped near his home, f’hrlstie ran and did not stop until he reached a telephone. A burglar gained admittance to the Guy Hall drug store. 780 Indiana avenue, by hurling a brick through a glass door. No money was taken, but the burglars were found to have ransacked the store. Another window smashing occurred at 133 South Illinois street, the Kistner shoe store. James Boswell, night clerk ;at the Roland Hotel, heard the glass i break and saw .five or six boys run through an alley. Two pairs of women’s shoes were discovered in an alley nearby.

Washington Briefs

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, March 15.—Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California, declines officially to be labeled a Republican. He brands himself a "Republican and progressive. An ssierisk opposite his name in the latest issue of the Congressional Directory, the Bible of Capitol Hill, calls attention to the fact that the Johnson party In the Senate totals one lone member. Senator Johnson's hostility to the four power treaty can hardly be called altruistically disinterested. He is a candidate for re election this year and a vote in Washington for at. alliance” with Japan would have certain disadvantages at polling time in California next November. It would bq diverting to know what Margot Asquith, who wns in the diplomatic gallery of the Senate Saturday, tbwught of the American parliamentary manner compared to that with which shits familiar In Great Britain. Senator Reed’s indictment of Japan, delivered In his best vituperative style, seemed especially to beguile the Englishwoman. Whether It was the Missourian’s harangue or tho proceedings in general that drove her to It, "MargtH” resorted to smelling-salts at frequent lntt*rvals. Mis-tr'e-s of the King's English that she is, Mrs. Asquith must have been startled at some of the pronunciations that fell during the afternoon, tine distinguished Senator of the United States called "air-oh-uus" when’he tried to say “erroneous." Another thought ''ko-lom-tty'' wns good enough for "calamity” while a third wrestling with “ancillary” pronounced It "ann sill ary" with the accent on the second syllable. Senator Reed, who Is suffering with a bad attack of Saghalin Island, has re-chrlst-ened It "Shock a-lees.” Senator Underwood gave an amazing test of physical as well as spiritual endurance in the Senate Saturday, as he stood for three mortal hours in the center outlie floor, enacting the role of Daniel In the lion's den. The most ferocious lions were of the Democratic leader's own political faith, providing a spectacle of heresy not often witnessed in the American Congress. ■Hite v were, moreover, Southerners like himself, but neither party complexion nor geographical origin restrained men like Robinson of Arkansas; Glass, of Virginia; Watson, of Georgia, or Heed, of Missouri, from assailing Mr. Underwood claw and tooth. He wenthered the ordeal. There was no loss of temper. He made no attempt to sidestep leuding questions. When all was over, lie and Senator Glass, who ts a two-handed fighter in debate, were locked in whispered conference as affectionately as two long-lost buddies.

I country’s behalf. The second lady of the ! land is about as far removed from the i stereotyped conception of an austere New Englander as could easily bo int--1 agined. No debutante can on occassion | ttneork a more vivacious quality of “pep." 1 nnd no stilted dowager can outdo Mrs. \ Coolldge, when the emergency requires, 'in statutory dignity. Authorities who keep tab on such things say she knows ; more people and by name than any other i woman in Washington. i Washington friends, of whom Lord ! Riddell made a legion, are In receipt of \ copies of "Country Life,” one of the many London periodicals owned by the publicity wizard of the British delegation at the armament conference. The Issue. which arrives with Lord Riddell's compliments is a special Washington number. It contains an- article under his signature dealing with Mr. Balfour, wlch will be read with timely Interest by treaty foes In the Senate, especially this passage: "The chfef text of the section of tho I American press which is unfavorable to England Is that Mr. Balfour’s great ability and wide experience of international affairs have made it Impossible for any ordinary mortal to cope with him and that, as a result, he has ‘put it across’ America —to use a colloquial expression which is very murh in favor at Washington just now, where some 'one is always said to have put It across” someone else. There is no truth in these allegations against Mr. Balfour, flattering ns they are. His natural straightforwardness charmed Mr. Hughes, Baron Kato and his other colleagues at the conference.” Another article In “Country Life,” ts devoted to Washington architecture. Although acclaimed as a city beautiful the writer says “one rather tires of Washington’s colonnaded splendor." He ] thinks the monument “the finest and simplest in the world,” calls the Con- ! gressional Library “one of the worst buildings in America,” says the Lincoln Memorial Is a “doric hall, in whieh the refinements of Greek marble architecture live again,” and declares that the “delicate, jewel-like- Pan-American Union Is one of the most striking modern classic buildings In the world.” John Russell Pope’s Scottish Rite Temple in Sixteenth I street is also eulogized by the British j commentator as a fine creation. —Copy- ! right, 1922 by Public Ledger Company.

YOUTH MUST BE SERVED FIRST, Says mr. barry Part-Time Vocational Instruction May Be Eliminated. ‘HOBBY,* SAYS EMHARDT . Permanent discontinuance, or at least complete reorganization of the part-time | schools In vocatinoal training was strong- : ly hinted at last night at the meeting of ! the board of school commissioners, following the appearance of several delega- | tlons and the receipt of petitions asking their continuance. President Charles L. Barry, in addressing delegations from Schools Nos. 13. 32, 22. 15. 29 and 54, made it plain the part- \ time schools, which are attended largely I by mature women, must be made seoond- [ ary to the schools for younger persons. “This board and the board before did more to extend and expand these parttime schools than any board In the his- | tory of the city, but its first duty Is to i the children,” he said. “They must (jotne | first. It is impossible to get money to ; continue these classes until the end of ; the year, but this does not mean we are opposed to this form of instruction.” OPPOSITION IS APPARENT. However, remarks made later in th* evening by other members of the board would indicate several members are opposed to continuing the schools. “I have been told,” Commissioner Adolph Emhardt said, “this making of hats is nothing but a hobby with some of these women.” Dr. Marie Haslep then said a woman had called her by telephone and insisted 1 the part-time classes be continued and added she was a heavy taxpayer. “If th}s Is so then I do not believe she needs vocational training,” Dr. Haslep said. “If this is the ease, part-time schools onght to be reorganized or discontinued.” Commissioner Bert S. Gadd said. “If they only afford opportunities for visiting and gossip something ought to be done about it.” R. C. Lowell, director or vocational training, who is In charge of these : schools, also came In for considerable criticism, by inference, for not keeping within his budget in operating these Classes. WOULD HIRE OWN INSTRUCTORS. A number of delegations requested If the board would not continue the classes the use of the school buildings be granted to the classes and they employ their own Btructors.
