LADY ASTOR TO ADDRESS LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS First Woman Member of British Parliament to Attend Convention. Special to Indiana Daily Times and X’hlladelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, March 20.—Lady Aster ■who is expected to sail from England April 12. la now scheduled to make her principal address In America at the convention of the National League of Women Voters Wednesday, April 20, In Balt!- j more, less than an hour from the Capitol, j The occassien will be a mass meeting. following the State president's dinner. This public address will be Lady Astor's first, outside of England, with the exception of a keynote speech in Geneva, at tha international woman suffrage convention In June, 1020, when she captured even the stolid Swiss with her wit and charm. Her trip to this country also will be the first to her native land since her election as the first woman member of the British parliament. FRIENDLY RELATIONS TO RE DISCCSSED. As the program of the convention now looks, at least one evening meeting will be among the most Important ever staged 1 by women. The subject will be "What ino women of the Americas can do to promote friendly relatljns” with Secretary of State Hughes as the speaker at ; the very top of the choice list. A close ! second is the British ambassador. Sir Auckland Geddes, and not far behind i in interest is a leading South American j ambassador, Senor Don Beltran Mathleu, I ambassador of Chile. Other speakers are Dr. L. S Rowe. ' director general of the Pan-American Union: Mrs Robert Lansing of the worn- j en's auxiliary committee of the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress; Mrs. I Carrie Chapman Catt, president Inter- j national Woman Suffrage Alliance, and delegates froru the three Americas to the Pan-American conference. Probably the most logical place to have held this important meeting would have been in the beautiful Pan-American Union bnilding. but alas, tbe same difficulty was encountered as faced the Washington arms conference—lack of space for any kind of a public meeting. So the P. A. R. again come to the rescue, as they did with the arms conference, nnd again offered their own beautiful Memorial Continental Hall. So the m-eting will be held there on Friday, April 2s, following a very hectic day, when the convention and Pan American conferences will be transplanted en masse from Baltimore. Reports at league headquarters here assert that State delegations from all over the country have their quota of delegates and alternates booked for this, the third annual convention of the league. Naturally, the Pan-American Conference, with its w'-nien from South and Central America, from Mexico and from Canada, will be an added drawing card, but no doubt the best part of the ten-day program is “Washington day,” closing with the meeting already described. OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WHITE HOUSE. There wili be an opportunity to meet Mrs. Harding nnd visit the White House, as Mrs. Harding is giving a reception for the delegates in the afternoon. Afterwards a tea will be tendered by Mrs. Hughes, wifo of the Secretary of State, in her capacity as Chairman of the Women’s Auxiliary Committee of the United States of the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress. Os course there will be an opportunity to visit all places of Interest in the National Capitol, but the league proposes to make Washington Day something more than sigh’seeing tour. Delegates will visit , the Senate and nouse, not only to look on from the galleries as most tourists do. but to m"et their own Senators and Rrpreset!tatievs. There will be heart-to-heart talks when women themselves will have an obJect lesson in National politics. These meetings will take place in the offices of the Senator of each State, but the entire State delegation of Senators and Representatives will be expected to meet the women from their own State calling upon them.—Copyright, 1922. by Public Ledger Company.

New York Girls Find SSOO Year Needed to Dress Well

NEW YORK, March 20—New York business girls must spend $509 per year for clothes if they expect to look trim and keep up appearances. Quite different from conditions In Emporia, Has., where merchants are testifying before the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations that S9O a year will keep a girl neatly dressed. Ninety dollars a year! Gotham's business damsels scoffed, and girls of the New Y'ork League of Girls made a comparison with their own needs. And U costs them SSOO per year to dress trimly, and the rest of the country may as well know it. And Emporia, Kan., Is a long way from here. Twelve representative young women—clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers, milliners —are authority for the above estl-

mate. A few placed their estimate a little higher, a few said less—but this is the average. If they don’t buy a spring and fall suit each year, then they buy more dresses, and the budget evens up. REQUIRES GOOD Jl DGMF.NT. They also made It plain that It requires good Judgment to be well dressed on that amount, and a girl must know the value* In this shop and that and know stylo Madelyn Lueck. No. 512 Seneca avenue, Brooklyn, explained how she managed to get through on SSOO a year: “I got mv dinner frocks so that I can wear them to business when they cet old. I bny a winter coat each year, nnd the one from last year serves as second best. —l*l like to see any girl dress on S9O a year! Employers don't like a dowdy around. A girl who looks like a freak has a fine chance in New Y'ork!” Tho merchants of Emporia had down on the list; Cotton stockings at 23 cents a pair; ono wool dress at sl3 90 for the year: one cotton dress at $3.95; one coat, $22.50 (to wear three years); one coat suit. $14.75 (to wear three seasons); one pair of shoes. $394: one pair of oxfords, $2.94. and other things In line. “HOW DO THEY GET THAT WAY?” “Say, what do they think we are?” Marion Rlust. bookkeeper, wanted to know. “Do the girls dance in wooden shoes out there or don't they dance or go any place at all? I pay my board at home, and the rest of my money goes to clothes, and I am glad of It.” It was brought out in the Inquiry that only two girls in twelve do any sewing and that the majority prefer to buy all their clothes ready-made. They said that they get better styles for the same money. “But yon have to know where to buy," Miss Lueck emphasized.

She was wearing n $23 siik and lace party frock that looked twice its price, nnd questions elicited the Information from others that some buy their stockings of bargains and their dresses after .sampling a dozen shops. The grout majority of New York's office girls live at home, according to the League of Girls’ Clubs, and that makes it possible for most of them to dress up to standard. The younger girls give their mother* all they earn, nnd the mothers look after dress; but mothers of young girls are dependably indulgent. The older girls contrihuo oti an average og IS a week f-r thier board, aud the rest is theirs. Most of them confessed that they also saved in the waning weeks of a season for the beginning of the next season and that savings usually were drawn upon In this uianuel. MOTT OFFERS !

CAW OF CROW TO BE THROTTLED IN HOOSIER STATE Conservation Officials Do Xot Believe in Complete Extermination of ‘Outlaw.’ The black crow Is an outlaw among Ilooslcr birds. However, according to Indiana con-s‘>-vat.lon officials who favor its decimation. but nit complete extermination, the crow lias some economic value and some of them should be allowed to live. Crows are Increasing In Indiana, according to numerous reports to tho State Department. At Marlon, Shively Blrley, local hunter, started out to rid that section of the State of the pests. Blrley wrote to Richard Lleber, director of conservation In Indiana, suggesting that the department set nslde a “crow day," and appeal to persons to make a concerted offensive against these birds. Mr. Lleber, In replying, said he favors reducing the number of crows, but doubts tbo wisdom of complete extermination for tlie reason these birds, admittedly destructive to crops anil terrors to insectivorous birds because of their nest-raidlng habits, have some fixed plnce in nature's scheme for maintaining a fine balance. Tbe most effective drives against crowds should bo made early in the spring, preferably In April, for then crows propagate, conservation officials say. Tha offspring usually numbers four and an early drive against them will do much to rid the Stata of excess numbers this summer.

An expedition planned to reopen an abandoned mine in the Interior of Medco, Is being sent out by Henry Jarndyce, capitalist of New York. Diehard Henry Gladney, young portrait painter, and cousin of Jarndyce, Joins tlie group for the sake of adventure. Sonora Trabajar, alleged princess, claims that the mine to be worked by the Jarndyce Company really belongs to her by right of Inheritance and was wrongfully taken from her dead father. She accompanies the expedition In the expectation of taking possession. While making the trip from Now York to Y'era Cruz exciting events take pkice. An attempt is made to destroy' the mining machinery on board the vessel. Clots and intrigues are plentiful. Follow tbe story from here.

CHAPTER Vll—Continued \ The night was close and muggy and J seemed quiet, and yet there were u great ; many people about. Twice we had to change our course to avoid being seen l>y others out in boats. When the row--1 its became tired, i’rothro and I each took an oar, although I could pull only with my left hand. We landed a little before daybreak in 1 a palm embowered, mosquito-infested area, where no white man could live for an hour I’rothro paid off our crew, paid them very liberally with Mexican gold; and then we ran for It, I’rothro leading the way and 1 running after him. We ran along pig trails, past swarming, filthy villages of blacks and other natives. And when we could no longer run we tramped with all the speed we could make, and by forced marches reached a higher altitude about noon and fell down exhausted. Had it. not been | for tiie willingness of the native women to make us coffee and sell us euehilala and tortillas I think vve should have lain there forever. That afternoon we rested nnd made our plans. We bought two burros and started for tlie Interior, l’rothro gave me to understanding that Barnette and Mora and our crew had stayed in V-ra Cruz to superintend the unloading aud reloading of the machinery. We were to meet them in Guanajuata, where the machinery would have to tie reloaded upon a narrow gauge railroad for Tlextmnl. Me made for I'achu. ha. about a hunt red and ! eighty miles Inland from our landing ' place and across the first chain of corc.l----h-ras. It was an interesting Journey for line, and the tropical mountain scenery wots more wonderful than anything I had ever seen. From I’achueha we caught a fast stage coach for Mexico City. On entering Paohucha I’rothro produced a couple of bogus passports and we changed our names to match the names on the papers. In Mexico City we remained only about two hours, and then preceded by rail to Guanajuato. I will never forget my first view of that colorful and picturesque city. It looked from the mountain pass win-re we first saw it like a cardboard city built up as a stage property. There were seveu largo churches crowning as ninny hills above tho green and pink roofs of the clustering househs. “Each church,” instructed I’rothro, 1 ’ stands for a mine; and the patron saint iis likewise the patron of the mine. lor the most part the main shaft of the mine is In the church yard " •Does our mine have a church above it:” I asked. “Yes. only It’s church on the outside. or rather above ground, and a heathen temple below Didn't the 'Princess Patch' iila.’ or whatever it is. describe It t" you?” • She t"bl me a little something about it," ! said. "Said she was the gr-at granddaughter es the grand suaml of the main sanctum. •Hum; chances are she's the daughter of o chili con vendor in El Paso. But really, there is a native heir to that mine; or was. before she was disinherited - fur heresy, perhaps—what do you think of this railroad?” "Not much.” “Don't run it down; I built it. I also built tlie narrow gauge read up to Tlexiuisil and our Kl Dorado.” •It picks to me ns if when we start down the next grade well go to 'ell so me do.” Just a little dip and then we rise to Guanajuato. Say, boy, the life there is pi ture q te. Vou 11 bo pleased with lt~ You’ll want to paint It." "Yes, I might paint it but for the fact that my brush arm Is out of commission and 1 sacrificed my kit when we went overside,” I grumbled. M'e found Barnette and Mora and our pang of workmen waiting for us In Guanajuato. I recommend that town for nny nriist looking for a picture. Everything there is stagelike, colorful, and picturesque. There you see the old Mexican grandee and the young Mexican daudv looking Just ns they do in the painting . There ladies of high degree peep at you from grilled getwuys with eyes that make men forget; and the peons go In for colors of all sorts. The most curious thing Is the way the ladies paint their faces; they put the whiting on wet like white shoe polish and put it on nearly as thick. In the plazas the peons promenade in one direction and the grandees in the opposite direction, nnd a knight rides his horse down tho Sidewalk by preference if the crooked street la wide enough to have a sidewalk. M e waited two day t there while tho Mexican authorities refused to allow us to unload our machinery, and then I’rothro and Mora traveled back to Mexico city to take the matter up with tha Bureau of Transportation. Barnette and Rourke guarded the machinery and I loafed. The first day I started over the city alone I got a surprise. I was climbing a high hill to look at n very ornate church when someone called me by name. I turned and saw our “princess” coming 'up the same hill on a small, shaggy pony. CHAPTER VIII. “Alio, Senor Gladney,” she cried delightedly, as wo shook hands. “Where

la the Big Chief?” “Sifert, you mean?” “No, no, Senor Prothro.” “Gone about hla affairs, I suppose. “M'here are Sifert and Serluuo?” ‘‘How should X know? I do not keep op with casual acquaintances.” “Casual acquaintances! How much did they pay you for stealing those blueprints?” “Why do yon accuse me? Nelson got j the blueprints and has them yet, I suppose.” “No, Sifert has them. Listen, cartssima. Let's you nnd me strike a bargain. 1 How much are Sifert and his gang pay- j ing you? If it isn’t too much we’ll pay you more to come in with us. M’e need a lady to add tone to our party. All you’ll have to do Is to sit around a hotel and look pretty; and please do not forget that I am yet to paint your portrait—and—really, I am not as crazy about' you as Nelson Is —still—who knows—l am heart whole —unless —the symptoms seem to tell mo that I have lost my heart to you. ‘Out of sight, out of mind’ has not worked with me in your case. Honestly, Seuora Tralajar, let us come to a frank and free understanding. If yon will do tliis, I promise that I will not reveal a single secret that you tell me to keep, even to I’rothro and Barnette. I am not in Jarcdyee's employ, really, but was simply permitted to accompany the expedition as a sort of lark.” The woman was visibly flattered. "All right,” she said, smiling down at me where I clung to her pony’s girth strap to get up the hill. “I'll be your sweetheart. I really didn't want those blueprints the other night half as bad as J wanted—Just you. There would never have been a scramble for them if Nel- I son hadn't acted as he did.” “Then—you love uie?” "I love you, Senor Gladney, like—l know now I have never loved before. This—ls—my—first—love." Tears sprang to her large, brilliant eyes. I wondered ! if she were sincere or if this were a j piece of superb acting. My artist eye | : told me at that moment that she was j I really beautiful; and she could not be ; more than 27. The color slowly mounted beneath the olive of her skin and made . her very entrancing. “Listen, (hen, carlssima,” I said. “I love you as well as you do me. If you will tell me who your fourth party is, your go-between who organized the mischief among onr workmen, I'll marry you the day we apprehend him.” She flushed a coppery pink from angry pride. “So? You wish me to bribe you to marry me. Is it thus the Yankee wooes? You f..rg-t that I ant the Princess Tchacaloa del Tlexlmal y Guarnajuato y I’ara.’’ “Pardonnez mol ma Princess, but honestly it is difficult for me to believe you are anything but a very lovely adventuress.* ’ “Could you Do oonv'nced If I showed you the proof?” "it is according to what the proof con- , slsts of.” ‘‘The proof shall be positive." “Then I shall have to be convinced.” “Let us go to tlie Church of St. Ynez yond-r and look at the pictures and statuary,” she said lightly, as if changing the subject. Five minutes inter we had entered a church half a millennium In age. I noted , as we entered that the beautiful creature was flushed with excitement and that she kept casting odd, puzzling glances to- , ward me. (To Be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS. JR. By DAVID CORY. On arriving In the little town of Derby, I’usi drew rein before a small eating house, and after fastening the feed bag to Ills horse's head, went iustde ! to order something for himself. The maid who waited upon him seemed very much amused. She held the 111! of fare upside down, thinking. I suppose, taht he did nrq know how to read. But Puss was a wise little cat. He did net intend to have her insult him.] or to let her imagine for an Instant that she could poke fun at him. So he asked j her whether she had eyes in her boots, nnd tills so embarrassed her that she { dropped the salt cellar on her foot and ] overturned the pepper box. Aud then every one began to sneeze. Well, Just as Puss was about to begin his lunch, a man entered the dining room and picked up the food in front of Puss and ran away. “A little old man of Derby How do you think he served m<? He took away by bread and cheese, And that Is how he served me," said Puss to his good gray horse. “I'm ! not. going to stay In this town another j minnte." “Well, then, little master, get on my j hack. M'e’ll soon leave it behind ns," i said the faithful steed. So off they went \ and they passed the market place, they ; saw tbe man and his ram In the midst of a great crowd. “There is our friend, the man whose j ram is such a wonder," said I’nss. The ' ntan was having a good deal of difficulty | In tying the ram’s tall to the market j bell, for the rain wouldn’t stand still. J lie evidently didn't care abont leing a i bell-ringer, nnd I don’t blame him. ] “At length the tall was made fast and i then! Well, sir, the people In Derby had I never heard a bill ring the way that one j did— He pulled it up and down, sir. He pulled it back nnd forth. He swung it east and west, sir. He rolled it south and north. And then he pulled It down, sir, From off its beam of oak, And yanked It down the street, sir, Until the old thing bro.ke. “Hah, ha!” laughed Puss, and he rode out of the town on his good gray horse and went merrily on his journey of adventure. And next time I’ll tell you what happened after that.—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.)

MONDAY. “What do you think of letting Rogei go to work on Saturday afternoons, Mary?” asked Mr. Hooper as they sat down for their evening together in the living room. “I really don't approve of it at ail,” replied Mrs. Hooper as she took out her sewing. “There Is plenty for him to do in the front yard and garden on Saturdays, and if he once gets an idea of working for money Into hts head the next thing he will want to be leaving school before he has finished. You know what an idea he had of doing It wheD we were leaving Mayfield.” “Y'es, I remember,” admitted Mr. Hooper, “but I really think we will be doing very wrong if we oppose this plan of his, Mary. He is old enough now to begin to take on some responsibility, and I think that Roger is very much less Inclined to depeud on his own decisions than Helen is, aud that beginning to work for some kind of wages might, develop a ertain Independence that he lacks.” “Well, Helen is far too independent for her own good, according to nay opinion,” said Mrs. Hooper, "and If Roger is to be trained to follow In her footsteps, which seeing quite natural to her. this house will be a much more difficult place to live in than it is now." “Oh, Mary,” objected Henry 83 he closed the magazine he had been preparing to read. “I'm sure you are far too/ hard ou Helen, and that what you admire in Roger Is really no virtue at all. What is your real objection to his working V" “I've told you my main reßson,” said Mrs. Hooper, “that is that it will create in him a desire to leave school. When he has finished as much schooling as we can afford to give him and is capable of taking a real job it is time enough for him to work for money. I don't think these part-time paid jobs are good for a young school boy.” “You are fearfully old fashioned in pome of your ideas Mary.” argued Henry, “and if you intend to positively oppose this plan of Rogers to go to work on Saturdays I can see very readily that ho will give it up.” “And why shouldn’t he?” flared Mrs, Hooper. “Well, nden wouldn’t If she were as old as Roger,” smiled Henry, “at least not without a good tough struggle.” ‘‘And you really think that Helen's attitude toward my authority is preferable to Roger's submission to dictation on all occasions,” inquired Mrs. Hooper in wildeyed amazement. "Oh I wouldn't put It quite like that," laughed Henry good naruredly leaning over and patting his wife's hand, “but you know I've always thought that just because you were so very efficient that you rather molly coddled ns all so that there wasn't really much need of having a mind of our own.” Mrs. Hooper looked a trifle indignant as she held her needle up to the light and threaded it. but said nothing to this accusation which Henry had made before on several occasions in connectoin with Roger. “The boy has been fussing abont it all week." continued Mr. Hooper, “ever sin< e this work was offered him by Mr. Allen, and I can see no reason for his not doing It.” “He seems to think there is something disgraceful ia the fact that you had no income tax to pay last M'ednesday as the fathers of all the boys in his class had," said Mrs. Hooper, “and so he is g'ving me no peace till I let him go to work and earn some money." “is that the reason?” laughed Mr. Hooper. ‘‘Yes,” replied his wife. “I had to explain to him very minutely that your Income last year had been oniy 52,0>4) and that as a married man with dependents that you were exempt from any tax.” “So he has embltions to run np the family income so we will hare to pay a tax to help run tbe Government has he?” smiled Mr. Hooper. “Well that Isn't a half bad idea.” The menus for the three meals Tuesday is: BREAKFAST Grape Juice Cereal
