KIWANIANS SAY LIGHTS JUSTIFY EVENING DRESS President White Offers Alibi for Presence of Tuxedoes at Daytime Event. Officers of the Kiwanis Club started a ■artorial Innovation at the club meeting It the Claypool Hotel wh(r they appeared In tuxedo evening attire, despite the fact It was yet many hours to the • o’clock evening dress deadli'ie. Walter T. White, president of the club, offered the alibi the room was lighted by artificial lights and that many women were present. Mr. White failed to inform the inquirer why it was that full evening attire was not worn, under the circumstances of the feminine guests, according to the more or less Immutable laws of old Professor Sartor. The "soup-and-fish" attire was in honor of entertainers on the program, it was explained. These were Miss Hope Hampton, motion picture star; Miss Etheiinne Terry, star of “Honeydew.” Mrs. Clyde E. Titus, a local singer gave several numbers accompanied by Mrs. R. E. Turner at the piano. Miss Hampton told some anecdotes and sang one song and Miss Terry gave several selections, accompanied by Frank 11. Graham of the “Honeydew” company. Ralph Lleber. of the Circle Theater, presented Miss Hampton, and Nelson G. Throwbridge, of the Murat Theater, introduced Miss Terry and others from that company. Each entertainer was presented with a corsage bouquet. Announcement was made of a “buddy” contest by which attendance records are expected to be set at top-notch.

It also was announced the Kiwanis Giee Club is to be revived at once with forty voices. An appeal from the international officers asked that the local club take Immediate steps to urge Senators and Representatives in the Congress to ratify the disarmament treaty.

KREISLER WINS IN NOVEL PLEA FOR HOMELAND Senate Passes Hill for Relief of Stricken Austria, After Heariny Concert. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY CONSTANCE BKKXEL. WASHINGTON, March 16.—As a result of the Kreisler concert, engineered by a small group of women, just a week ago, the Senate yesterday passed the bfll releasing America's hold upon Austria's assets for a period of twenty-five years allowing the stricken country to obtain a loan in Europe. Tending such action, Austria has been unable io secure credit to purchase foodstuffs for her starving population. What the ablest financiers of the country have been unable to accomplish, a determined group of women have done inside of a week. Such men as Frank Var.derlip, Otto Kahn, Taul Warburg. Archbishop Hayes, Harry Payne Whitney, Frank Mur.sey—to mention only a few on the American committee for Austrian relief —• ha-e been trying for months to obtain such action from Congress. The women succeeded because they made their appeal to the hearts of the Senators. SENATE SCENE OF UNUSUAL MEETING. Last Tuesday afternoon a remarkable meeting was held. Fritz Kreisler played, Mrs. Med ill McCormick presided. Miss Helen Todd of New York and San Francisco asked women interested to meet her at the Capitol the next morning. More than a hundred called upon Senators McCumber and Lodge to urge Congress to do something about Austria. They urged the Lodge resolution releasing Austria from her debt to the Uniied States, incurred because of the flour shipped Sept. 4. 1920. It was pigeon-holed In the Finance Committee. The Senators were Impressed by the interest of the women. Telegrams were received from farm women in the West, whose wheat sold to Austria was now preventing her from obtaining credit. Such a thing is unheard of. but it is true nevertheless, in the midst of tariff discussion in the Finance Committee, men like Senator Smoot paused to listen to the plea of women for Austrian children. Every Senator on the Finance Committee voted in favor of reporting the bill favorably. They did not even put it on the calendar to await Its regular turn, but brought it up on the floor at once. When Senator McCumber, chairman of the Finance Committee brought it up. Senators Lodge, Williams and France, among others, all urged its passage. They said the women wanted it; also the I needs Service Committee, which has been carrying so much of the burden of feeding Austria's children, wanted it. MEASURE PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Not a dissenting voice was raised, the measure passed viva voce. It goes to the Ways and Means Committee of the House, where early action is expected. Vienna may be saved. Senators on the Finance Committee give credit to a small group of women. Miss Helen l’odd of I the Women’s International League, who asked Kreisler to play, free of charge, L n d who has Interviewed most of the Senators in favor of the bill, said after Rs passage: I "It revives one's faith in human nature. Men in Congress, even in the midst of strife and anxieties, are ready to listen to women who speak for the weak and the oppressed.”

A complete naturalization code. representing two years' work by the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization is incorporated in a bill now introduced In Congress. Several provisions of particular interest to women are included. Among them is independent naturalization of married women and retention of American citizenship by resident American women who marry foreigners. It ends automatic bestowal of citizenship through naturalization and marriage and requires all to qualify and take the oath of allegiance. Several of the most Important women's organizations will get behind the bill to urge Its passage. Readers of social columns In the capital’s newspapers have been surprised to notice the name of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson the last two days. The occasion was an Informal luncheon at the home of Mrs. Cary Grayson, wife of Rear Admiral Grayson, former White House physician. As Gertrude Gordon. Mrs. Grayson was the ward and close friend of Mrs. Wilson, both before and after she became first lady of the land. Wednsscay’s luncheon notice was a subject of general comment as It Is the first time Mrs. Wilson's name has been seen In social columns for more than a year.—Copyright, 12i£, by Public Ledger Company. Woman Voters Plan Series of Concerts The League of Women Voters board, at a meeting yesterday at headquarters, .04 Chamber of Commerce Building, planned a series of concerts to be given within the next few weeks.

CHICAGO, March Iff-Declaration of Independence from Parisian style dictators for American women was sounded here today by Miss Ethel Curran, New fork modiste attending the national eonvent ion of the Fashion Arts League. The American woman Is making a strong bid to dominate the fashion world with her style just as she has dominated It with her striking beauty. “The entire trend of modern fashion in this country shows we are developing standards of our own." she said. “In a very short time the American woman's dress will be looked to as the model of the world.” Miss Curran asserted radical extremes in dress were rapidly giving away to conservativeness and daintiness. “The wave of radical garb which started several years ago with the split skirt Is seen now only in flapperdom,” she said. “The dresses on exhibition at. the national convention here have been conservative but beautiful.” The American style, Miss Curran said, does not run to any one type, it is “absolutely non partisan” and striking in its many variations “It is distinctive in that it is net designed merely to attract the males. The tropical bird sort of dress is being replaced by fashions that are first of all artistic.” The esthetic aspect., Miss Curran said, should oe the first consideration in dress. “A dress with a long skirt can he just as attractive to the male,” she said, “as one that exposes eighteen Inches of silkstockinged calf.” SHORT SKIRTS CAUSE ACCIDENTS. CHICAGO, March Iff—Longer skirts for women or lower steps on street cars was advocated by Alderman Leo C. Klein In city council. “Serious accidents often happen when a driver’s attention is diverted by a woman climbing on a car.”

Scnora Trabajah, claiming to be Princess Inez Tchocalca, declares an abandoned mine in Mexico was wrongfully taken from her father before he died and belongs to her by right of Inheritance. The Jarnilyce Interests In New York, learning that much wealth could yot be taken from the property, obtain a concession by some means and prepare to operate the deserted elulm. Richard Gladney, a young portrait painter, a mining engineer and many helpers are on board a vessel bound for Vera Cruz, from which point they expect to proceed to the interior. The alleged princess is cn the same vessel and Intends to tight for her claims to the mining property. Jealousy and Intrigue become rife as the boat pushes toward its destination. Read each installment of the story.

CHAPTER IV—Continued The thing looked Interesting. I got out of most of my clothes and into the blanket and poncho. In this garb the two of us crept at midnight upon the almost unlighted deck. We kept to the shadows. I followed after Pbothro and imitated his every precaution. Near the third class salon we lay down behind some deck chairs while a gay campany, striking matches to light cigarettes, was passing by. Two people suddenly approached and occupied the chairs behind which we lay. “Y’ou say you are chief accountant for them?” lisped a female voice. “Then you must have access to their papers, n'est-ce-pus?" •‘('ertainment I know all that goes on In the office.” It was Nelson’s voice, pitched In a boastful key. though low enough In tone. “Then listen. You don’t know who I am; I have not told yon yet. But I will tell you this much. If I marry you and you do what 1 ask of you, you will be the richest man In Mexico before five years.” “But yon are the widow of a Cuban banker like you said, uren’t you?’’ "I am that, but more. 1 was born In Tlexlmal, not ten miles from the hacienda w’here little Mora w-as born, I know Mora’s mother. Well, you’ve heard of this Yeta de Oro mine, the richest gold vein tn central Mexico. I am the heir of the original owners. My maiden name was Ynez Tchassalca del Gnanaqnata y Tlexintaiy y Para, a princess of CastUian blood, anil the great granddaughter of a high priest of the ancient sun temple of Tlexlmal, which temple, now a church, is built exactly above the main tunnel of the Veta <se Or mine.” “And you are all that?" “I am. Have I ever lied to yon?” “Oh, you could not do that. Y’ou are too sweet, too beautiful, too ’* “Say, who is this dabbler who wishes to paint my portrait?” “Gladney, yon mean, lie's Just a donothing sent along with our party by the big chief In Wall street." “But who Is he? Why should JarndTce send him along?" The lightning of the approaching storm was beginning to play brilliantly across the deck, and I w-is trembling for fear I should be discovered at any moment. I lay very still to catch their every word. “Well, he's .Tarndyce’g first cousin; I suppose that's the main reason.” “He has a charming face”; the woman spoke softly a* If to herself. ”A sort of baby face. I think.” “Yes, he docs look Innocent. He'S young, too. Not over 25, 1 should think. “He's 30 If a day.” "Pcutetrle! I’ll l>et he can paint charmingly. I’m going to sit for him every morning, and after that I'll promenade with you; and we two can he together like tills every night like this.” There was a sigh and then a faint sound like—well, the sound was unmistakable; they were kissing. Prothro managed somehow to squirm to where I was and get his lips to my ear. “Stay," he whispered. “I must go. When you can get away conic to lifeboat No. 3 on t ! e other side of the deck. Count one, two, throe and make sure you're not seen when you get up. I’ll give you a hand.” 1 was left alone. The storm was enmJng up very rapidly ndw. Between the gu-fs ..f cold wind there were flashes of lightning that made mo cringe for fear I should be geen. Hut the lovers were too much occupied with their billing and coning nud the lady with her plotting to note anything else. Between the lipwork I could hear the womnn talking to Nelson tn the lowest and most cautious tones. My head was almost under and between their choirs, and yet I could Just make ut a word here and there of what she said : “If you . . . Then you get the blue prints ... On that day 111 marry you." Their lovemaking was once more renewed and continued till a swarm of youngsters came down the deck laughing and (lashing an electric torch into alt corners for the fun of discovering just such a scene as this. Nelson and the lady fled and I was not far behind them. Two minutes later T was on the other side of the deck and had located lifeboat number three. In a space of extreme blackness following a brilliant flash ot lightning I raced to it. scrambled up the davit, and tumbled tn. “Flue!" whispered Prothro in my ear. “Listen, you watch forward. We've got a lot of mining machinery under that tarpaulin forward there. If yo'u see any suspicious movements about it just kick n>y font. I'll be watching aft. Dun't make any noise and don't go to sleep, whatever yon do." The storm came on with Incessant, gleams of lightning and waterspouts of rain. My poncho was about ns much protection ns a mosquito bar would have been. The ship rolled and pitched on the waves, and the lifeboat seemed to threaten at times to heave me and Prothro and all Its contents Into the sea. But. through It all I did my best to follow Instructions. Then in the midst of the worst part nf the storm I saw something Interesting. During a gleam of lightning a man with a big elublike object in Ills hand leaped across the glistening deck. A second man

followed with another clublike object In his hand. I kicked Prothro violently. But he also had seen and was at my side. “Follow me,” he said. “I’ll get out first and wait on deck for you. “Don’t leave the boat on the outward roll of the vessel. When you reach the deck keep touch lng me with your left hand and keep your cannon in your right. There’s liable to be trouble.’ CHAPTER V. We ran along the deck with all speed and came to a halt where someone bad slit a long opening in the tarpaulin housing of our machinery. The tarpaulin had been stretched on a wooden frame high enough to permit the free movement of a man inside, Prothro started to step through the opening, aj the same time switching on his flashlight. There wag a deluge of rain, and I was caught half inside and half out, because Prothro stopped suddenly In his tracks. At the same moment there was a rush from behind me. By a flash of lightning I saw a man before me with a plumbers' wrench upraised to strike. There were others each with a weapon of some sort. I did not wait for orders, but fired at the man with the big wrench. I fired too late. The thing descended upon my shoulder with a sickening thud. My right hand dropped to my side paralyzed. But I snatched the pistol Into my left hand and began to fire at the legs of the fleeing men. In a moment they were all gone, including the one that hail struck me and whom I believed I had wounded. Meanwhile I heard Prothro on the Inside. He fired twice or three times, I heard him scrambling around under the paulin, nud a moment or two later he emerged twenty feet down the deck dragging two large wrenches. “Are you hurt?” se asked as ha flashed his light upon me. “Y'es, a big brute with a wrench tried to break m.v head and broke my collar bone, I think." “Too bad! Did you pink any of them?" “I think I pinked him —hope to the Lord I killed him!” “Aly, but you’re bloodthirsty. Look at these wrenches' Look at these wrenches. They were aiming to queer our pumps for fair. But come below and let me see your wound. You didn't know 1 was a surgeon, did you?” “But who’ll guard the pumps?” (To lte Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. “If all the world were apple pie. And all the water Ink. IVbat should we do for bread and cheese? What should we do for drink? “Don't ask me." said Puss Junior with a laugh, “for I’m sure I don’t know”. As the wagon drew alongside. Puss sprang up and climbed to the top, where he settled himself comfortably In the hay and soon fell asleep. Ue was rudelyawakened later by finding himself thrown Into a hayloft wltn a pitchfork full of hay. It was a wonder he was not hurt by the sharp points of the pitchfork. “Gracious ine!” thought Puss, here's a flue how-de-do. How am I ever to get out of this hay loft?” He scrambled about and finally managed to make Ms way down to where the horses were stabled. “HelloI” cried a familiar voice, and there iti one of the stalls stood the Good Gray Horse! “Well, well, little master,” he whinnied, "Where have you been these mauy mo nths?” When the Mg clock in the village struck 12, Puss Junior softly opened the stable door and. mounting the Good Gray Horse, rode silently away. It was good for these two old friends to be together once more, and ’uss patted the neck of his faithful steed. Jig, Jog, jig. Jog, jiggerty-jog went the hoofs of tho Good Gray Horse. Nod, nod, moderty-nod went Puss Junior's head. The yellow moon looked down and made the shadow of the Good Gray Horse race along with them over the silver-white road. The stars winked and blinked and tinkled and Puss fell fast asleep. But the Good Gray Horse went on and on, Jig. Jog. Jlgert.v-Jog over the hill and past the bo. l’ast the meadow and through the dale, through the weed and the misty vale. “Whoa!” said Puss Junior sleepily, but there was little need In that, for the Good Gray Horse had stopped of himself before a trough of water. Dipping his nose in, he drank long and deep, for he was thirsty with the long journey. Nea#. by, In the farm yard, the farmer was hitching up his horse to the milk wagon. An old yellow dog was running about wagging his tail. The farmer picked up the lines and climbed into the wagon. “Gid-ap, Betsey,"- he said, and drove out through the gate. “Well, I'll be—’’ he didn't finish the sentence, he was so surprised to see a cat on horseback. “Whoa, Betsy." he cried, and he took off his old straw hat. “Good morning. Sir Cat!” “The same to you.' said Toss, rubbing his eyes, for he was still half asleep. Suddenly, he felt hungry. “Can I get some milk for myself and some oats for my horse?" he asked. “To be sure,” answered the farmer. “Ride up to the kitelien door and my good woman will give you what you want. I must, be on my way or the little babies will be crying for their morning milk.” and he gave old Betsy the word and she started off. Dang, dang dankity dang! went the milk cans as the old wagon, rattled do\vn the hill. Then Puss dismounted and knocked at the door. “What! Why, Mpss my soul!” cried the farmer’s wife; it’s Puss In Boots, Junior!”—Copyright, 1922. To Be Contlimed.

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on 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 conditions of the high cost of living with thean.J THURSDAY. Mrs. Hooper was still burdened with the necessity of taking Betty with her when she went shopping and marketing on Thursday afternoons unless she waited until Helen returned from school, which was nearly always out of the question because it made it so late by the time she reached home again. She had never realized how much he had depended on her mother to take care of Betty in Mayfield and how much more she was able to accomplish when the child was off her hands for a few hours, especially when it came to going about the market and through the shops. A much more charitable attitude toward Mrs. Campbell and several other of her neighbors who had two or three small children to hamper them in the progress Mrs. Hooper was always urging them to make toward a goal of perfectly scheduled housekeeping with all the work carefully “routed.” She smiled rather ruefully as she buttoued on Betty’s coat, preparatory to the trip downtown, when she remembered that she had not yet put her housekeeping back on the regular routine scale of so many minutes for each task every day, as she had been doing for a number of years at Mayfield. “I suppose I can't expect to get everything running at once,” she said to herself, “but with all my experience I seem to be having quite as much difficulty as Mrs. Campbell ever did about bndgetting my time in this house.” One of the special things on her list to be purchased today was her new house record file which was to supplement the one she had arranged for her bookkeeping accounts; Ink and pens and pencils and all the other necessary equipment for hei kitchen desk. Also she wanted to get some new seed catalogs, and locate a place t.> buy what they would need to put the back yard garden in shape since Henry had decided that she was to have a small one, at least. Henry had also premised to complete the equipment of her kitchen by building for her between the table and the sink drain, a vegetable preparing stand like the one he had put in the AlayfielJ kitchen and which had proved such a saver of time and labor. A piece of zinc was necessary for this and on her way to the market she stopped at the tinsmith's and ordered Just what she needed, according to the measurements Roger had taken fur her. Aside from some hairpins and anew hair ribbon of Helen's and a little pair of shoes for Betty she had no shopping. Fortunately her sister-in-law Belle was not as near at hand as she used to be to begin nagging her ahmu this time about new clothes for Easter. She intended to buy something new, of course, because the family had begun to go regularly to the church a few blocks away and no matter how much she shut her eyes to the fact or refused to listen to Helen's enthusiastic descriptions of the stylish clothes worn by the members of the congregation she knew very well that the matter of clothes would be more of a problem here than it had been in Mayfield. She had quite a surplus in her clothing Midget, because of her careful buying in Mayfield, but principally because the clothes of every member of the family were so well taken care of that, being of good quality In the beginning they looked almost new whei they might well have begun to grow shabby. As she looked In the window of a millinery shop she made up her mind that one of her purchases a few weeks later would be anew hat for herself. Bhe had always made her own hats in Mayfield, but she felt that the whole family would approve of her decision to buy one “already made.” The marketing for the week was rather simple as there seemed to be nothing affording any special bargains; she varied her meat meals with as much fish as possible, ordered a pot roast for her Sunday dinner to be cut and hung away in the ice box until it was time to deliver It, and finally stopped to pay the weekly dairy supply bill, where she found to her delight that eggs were cheaper than they had been in a long time.
