HUSBANDS ARE MASTERS YET , SAYS WRITER Equal Suffrage Matters Little in Marital Supremacy, So It Seems. Special to Indiana r>aily Times and Philadelphia Pnhiio Ledger. By CONSTANCE ORENEE. WASHINGTON, March 21.—D0 husbands still rule their wires in spite of woman suffrage and the campaign for equal rights? Yes, is the answer, and certainly thee could be no more convincing proof than the examples of prominent women In public life which have come to notice here in the last few days. Whetner it Is cave man stuff or civilized persuasive tactics or merely the force of numbers since the 1920 census shows more than 2,000.000 more males than females in this country, is a question, but suffice to say, the entrance of women into political life seems to have made no difference about the man being the master of his home aand inhabitants thereof. Take, for instance, the case of Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and lately a member of the advisory committee to the American delegation of the Washington conference. During the conference, she wanted Mr. Winter, a prominent business man of Minneapolis, to be here at least part of the time. But nothing would induce Mr. Winter to run around to dinners and parties, shining in the reflected giory of his wife, so to speak. He proved his masculine prerogative by trovokingly hiking himself up to his lumber camp way off in the Minnesota woods. The conference over, the general federation purchased new headquarters here and it was Mrs. Winter’s plan to supervise the necessary financial campaign, also to work In behalf of the conference treaties. “LET'S GO," IIE SAYS AND THEY GO. But Mr. Winter comes to Washington and wishes to go to Florida. So Mrs. Winter drops everything and has been in Miami for the past month. She has ever given up her plan for spending April here, but will re: urn home to Minneapolis, even though the only daughter now has a home of her own in Chicago. Kelt, we hear from Mrs. ltichard Edwards, first vice pres: lent of the National League of Women Voters. She ought t 6 be in the headquarters here especially when Mrs. Aland Wood Park is away. lint no, she manages the counfry-wide organization and administration work of the League from Teru, Ind. Recently word came from her: “I had to drop everything to rush unexpectedly to French Lick, where Richard went for a rest, but got lonesome.” And when someone asked the other day: “Will Mrs. Edwards be the next president of the league?” The reply was: “No. indeed, tha would mean staying in Washington, and you know she could not leave her husband and Dickey. ,Tr.” Then there is Mrs. Snramer T. McKnlghr, charming and youthful, wife of a banker In Minneapolis. She. too, ought to be In Washington, where women’s activities on a big scale are centering, and she wants to be. too. But no, she accepted the Important post of treasurer of the League of Women Voters with the proviso that she would do it from Minneapolis, and she has. There has been a rumor, however. Mr. McKnight may be tendered a Federal post, but under no other conditions will his wife make her headquarters here. The American woman Is not dannted, as sh“ is going to have her cake and eat it, too. She will take up important public work, but she will keep her home and husband. She does not transplant herself She moves the Job. American telephone? and telegraphs and radio make tbia Impossible. Or is the very newest Idea to keep a woman In an Important position by offering him a political plum? That maybe the procedure adopted in the nomination of George Fpton of Warren, Ohio, for the Federal Reserve Board, which is still in the Senate for confirmation. Every one knows President Harding thinks Mrs. Harriet Taylor very useful as director of woman's activities in Republican party headquarters. He frequently calls her into, consultation. She is vice chairman of the Republican Naf'onal Executive Committee. hut she came here only temporarily, mainly because her husband, who is now a patent attorney had business here. She has proved a mo<t vaiuauble liaison officer between the Administration and women's organizations. She has the congressional campaign won ] n band, ner going back to Warren. Ohio, would be a loss. Therefore, though Mr. Uptos has had wide experience for the post offered him. haring been graduated from West Point and had extensive business interests in South America, there is little doubt that desire to keep Mrs. Fpton hi re may have had something to do with the appointment. But the very latest news is for a candidate to draw upon bis wife to manage nis campaign. I- is announced Mrs. Gifford Plnehot will close h"r house here to run her husband’s campaign for Governor of Pennsylvania. Already a suite of offices has been engaged in Philadelphia and Mrs. Pinchot intends i 'ting her headquarters there. And so we see the husband seer s to be the boss just the same, and the o.d fashioner. word “obey" has no terrors for the new woman in politics.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

BATHING SUIT IS INNOVATION The newest thins: In bathing suits is a one-piece suit with a detachable skirt. Since some of the popular beaches are ragging rampant against the one-piece suit, this is anew way of overcoming that obstacle. One can hop out of tho skirt before taking one's dip in the ocean. Paris is favoring laces this season. Ratine lace is the Latest novelty and has a coarse meshed fillet background. Laces of this type are at their best when dyed and their design outlined in pastel shades of yarn. Little black velvet wristlets with cameo clasps will be worn with the lacy frocks this summer. Colored checked gingham handkerchiefs are to l>e worn with the sport costumes it is predicted. 1922 will be a great year for the polka dots. They are shown in every conceivable color on white materials and no dot can be too large it seems. The dotted swiyses in red and white with red piping make very striking frocks for the warm summer days. Debutants are vying with each oth-r to see who can collect the moat diamond bracelets. It seems to be the proper thing for one's fiance to present one with a flexible diamond wristlet and as so many of the resort engagements are being broken, it is a woebegc.e “debby” who can’t return home with enough bracelets to make a real life-sized Jingle. Some wit has dubbed them service stripes. Club Pays Tribute to Mrs. Henderson At the regular meeting of the Women's Research Clnb yesterday afternoon, a part of the time was devoted to a memorial service in honor of Mrs. Julia C. Henderson, who was a charter member of the organization. Mrs. Henderson, although her time was taken up with business, always was a faithful and untiring workaz, members declared.

EXPERTS TELL HOW TO MAKE IDEAL KITCHEN University of Wisconsin Offers Suggestions Useful to Housewives. To be efficient, a kitchen must be arranged so as to reduce the time of the worker, make the work less hard, eliminate waste and lower the cost of light, beat and cleaning according to home *vnnmic experts at the University of Wisconsin. They have found that the following thing? make'kitchen work easier: The kitchen should be the most sanitary room in the house, and the sun should enter at all hours of the day. Therefore It sould face the southeast or southwest. The size depends upon the nnmher who are to work in It. The number of doors should be reduced to two. if possible, because many doors make good arrangement and gmnping of euipment Impossible. Walls should be washable and of light color. Harwood floors are rather expensive, bnt a eheaper wood coverd with a good quality of linoleum is good. In the home already built at least six things should be considered: Gathering, preparing, cooking and serving food, washing dishes and cleaning away. Equipment for preparing meals should be together: that is. food mnst be brongh* in from outside taken to the work table, prepared and cooked on the stove nnd served from there into the dining room by means of a serving (table. The equipment for clearing away meals should be grouped together. Dishes should be taken directly to the sink, washed and then pnt away. This grouping saves time, steps and labor. A carefully placed kitchen may be ruined by poor selection of equipment and careless arrangement. Tho sink should be placed near a window or where there is plenty of light and preferably on an Inside wall. It should he as near the leebox as possible. Built-in cupboards are most satisfactory. A few shelves over the kitchen table, sink or near the stove are handy for holding utensials that are frequently used. The kitchen table should be non-ab-sorbent material easily ‘cleaned, such as zinc or enamel, and the table should be of such a height that stooping while standing will not be neces?ary. One rule is thirty-four and one-half Inches high for a person five feet tall. This applies to the sink, tables and the stove In the kitchen. A high stool for the housewife to sit upon while preparing certain food is good. FOR EMERGENCIES. Keep a crochet hook on your dressing table. It will be found exceedingly useful when a piece of tape or ribbon slips throug lts casing.

Women Rotarians Honor Memory of Julia C. Henderson The Woman's Rotary Club held the weekly luncheon at the Claypool Hotel yesterday afternoon. The following tribute to Mrs. Julia C. Heudersou was read: "Mrs. Julia C. Henderson, whose death last week made the first break in our threc-yeur-old circle, was a person whose memory we shall always hold dear. She was a well rounded woman, first of all, one who, to uso the Scriptural phrase, ‘looked well to the ways of her household,’ not only from a sense of duty, but because she loved her home, and next, a woman who performed her duties with ease and with efficiency. Unhas'.ing and unresting, she seemed never hurried, never worried, but when evening came her task was accomplished. Without flattery and without deceit, she made and held her friends. Her fine tolerant spirit never permitted her to antagonize by a difference of opinion. Mrs. Henderson was a woman who believed in the power of organization and the Rotary (Tub had no more loyal member. 'Let us ever keep her memory fresh.”

Hook by Jane Addams Deals With Women’s Ed arts for Peace “Bread and Pence" is the nnmo of anew book by .Tune Addams, recently declared in England and the continent as “the foremost woman of America," a recognition which Arthur P. Kellogg of the Survory declares “cauie as a surprise to those who had grown to think of her solely as the protagonist of that most popular of all causes.—peace in time of wnr.” Miss Addams’ article is running serially In the Survey and portrays the scruples and convictions “upon which are based the efforts for peaeo by a small group of women in the United States and of their connection with like-minded women of other countries.’’ It also outlines a plan for organizing internationally the growing and distribution of food “so that tho whole world may be fed.’’

Princess or Adventuress?

An expedition planned to reopen an abandoned mine in the interior of Mexico, is being sent out by Henry Jarndyee, capitalist of New York. Richard Henry Gladney, yonng portrait painter, and cousin of Jarndyee, Joins the .{roup for the sake of adventure. Hen ora Trabajar, alleged princess, claims that the mine to be worked by the .Jarndyee 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 (he trip from New York to Vera Cruz exciting events take place. Ah attempt is made to destroy the mining machinery on board the vessel. Blots and intrigues are plentiful. Follow the story from here. CHAPTER Vlll-Continued. “You walk with a prouder step here in this old sanctuary,” I remarked. “Why is that?” “it was built by my forefathers,” she said. “This is the Church of Saint Ynez Tchaealca del Guanajuato.” “And?” I interrogated. “And I am her great-grandnlecs three removes. Look at this portrait.” We were standing before a wonderful oil painting of a most beautiful lady, haughty, with languorous eyes, and a voluptuous mouth, but with some sort of strange reserve written upon the features. The picture looked hauntingiy familiar. “Now look at me.” Ynez Echaealca struck a pose identical with the pose of the picture. The resemblance was startling. An artist sees below the surface, beyond merely accumulating resemblances. The beautiful woman before met was actually most remarkably like the portrait. “Are we alike?” she asked. “Most remarkably so,” I whispered, with a certain awe. “She was a saint of the church,” she murmured. "But, her nephew, my great-great-grandfather, who made the mine at Tieximal what it was in the old days, went back to the worship of the Alontezuinas und become a high priest In the sun temple of Tieximal. Since that day there are two factions ia tho family; and only the Catholic faction Is recognized by the Mexican government. Tho other branch lends a sort of underground existence here and at Tieximal. , "And to which faction do you belong?" "T am of the faith of the old sun worshipers; anathematized for nearly -00 years, we are still very strong in numbers and ia power. I am an empress and a queen among Alontezumaa of live provinces. My dream is a dream of restoration. You spoke an hour ago sneeringly as if I worked for Sifert and Sc-rlano. They work for me. I have been unlucky in my choice of employes. Had I succeeded In employing you and Fro thro and Barnette before yon went to Jarndyee, perhaps my dreams would come true.” She spoke with such fire of enthusiasm that I was convinced In spite of myself. Still I pretended the greatest akeptlcism. , ... And Is this your proof positive. Queen Ynez Tthacnlea?” 1 asked mockingly. . , , . • Let ns go into the crypt; it Is quieter there ’* she said ca sisal! y. We descended n long and broad flight of marble stairs Into the stale air of the crypt. In the gloom of the place she pointed to this statue and that, naming them by name and clnimlng kin with most. Wo were entirely alone In the crypt. Presently she brought me to a *inlt, before a reclining marble statue of ti knight with bis feet resting upon the neck of a reclining hound. "Don Manrlque del Para," she Instructed "a brother of my groat great grandfather, orthodox through and through: otherwise lie would not bo resting here. It is his heirs who have sold our property to Henry Jarndyee. He had no more right to Tieximal than you have, but for the anathema of the church which confiscated our property and gave it to him.” She looked cautiously at the marble stair? above where a shaft of white daylight fell upon them, nnd then placing her small white hands against the head of the statue began to push with all her might. I stepped beside her and began to push also. To my utter surprise the whole statue, plinth and all, slowly turned as upon a pivot, revealing a dark grave below. “Flash your light down and descend,” she whispered. “Be quick!” I obeyed. A narrow set of steps revealed themselves and I quickly descended, with her close after me. A moment later the thing swung hack into place above our heads. lain frank to say that T felt dismayed. Here was more adventure than I had bargained for. We were alone In total darkness except for the light of my tiny flash lamp. “Dost thou love mo?" she asked, falling into the thee and thou of endearing discourse. “She alms to take me In completely, that is plain,” I thought. “I love you, carlssima regina,” I said aloud and turned about to meet the lips that were upheld to mine. “Dost thou promise to marry me if I prove myself the queen I am?” “I promise,” I said, and we sealed the promise with a long embrace. At that moment I was moro than half in love with her, adventuress though she might be. A long moment Inter she took tho light from my hand and flashed it along a dark and narrow passageway. Grinning skulls, ranged in rows upon shelves cut out of solid rock, greeted my sight; mummified cadavers stood in every niche and angle of the passage. We were in a veritable Mexican catacomb. I had read of such places and seen a flashlight photograph of one such, but if. gave me a creepy feeling to find myself alone in one with this adventuress. 1 was greatly Intrigued and could not realize that this was the Widow Trabajar of the steamship. Wo proceeded along tho passageway for more than a hundred feet, I should

say, and came to a great oaken, nailstudded door. “When It swings open,” she whispered, “follow me and keep your eyes always on the ground if you value your life. I will turn to the left. Do not look up and do not look about you till we are seated.” Tho door swung slowly open as she snapped out the light. As we passed through I was aware that the air was less stale and was aware of other presences. Well, I should have something to tell if I ever got back to New York. That was worth something. Following her with downcast eyes I was presently aware that she was mounting wide marble stairs. The light in the place was a queer sort of phosphorescent light, not brilliant, but illuminating enough to show me what was about my feet. “Pass behind me and take the seat to my left," she said when we had reached a sort of platform. I sank down and found myself upon soft cushions which exhaled the odor of grave-clothes. Just as I sat. down a brilliant light sprang up, and such a sight as I saw. Two gigantic mummies guarded the doorway by which we had entered. ’Two more stood sentinel to left and right of the platform we had mounted. For the rest, there was In that rich underground hall with its rare hangings and trophies and its rich rugs, perhaps twenty warriors armed with spears. They were all large men and all dressed alike In crimson leather tunics trimmed in gold and with helmets of beaten gold upon their heads. •At Cloudcroft, New Mexico, a photographer showed m a photograph of just such a passageway and ossuary as I have described above. —Tho Author. - “Whatever else she is,” I mused cynically, “she certainly commands a fine lot of movie properties.” She rose to her feet, and every man In tho presence passed his spear to his left hand, removed his helmet with a swingling gesture with his right and bent nearly double with a deep bow, bringing his helmet so low that it almost touched the crimson carpet on which they stood. And they remained In this position as long as she remained standing. She had not told me what to do when she rose, nnd so I rose, too, but kept my eye 9 downcast. Then she spoke, and in the queerest language I had ever heard. It was full of htirsh staccato consonants and unlike any Latinized tongue I had ever heard. She spoke at some length, and when she finished and sat down, they all arose once more nnd replaced their helmets and their spears to their right hands. (To Be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. f By DAVID CORY. i Brian O'Lln had no breeches to wear. So be bought him a sheepskin and made him a pair. AVlth the fleshy side out and the woolly side in; “Ah, ha, this Is warm'" said Brian O'Lln. Brian O’Ltn and his wife and wife's mother, They all went over the bridge together: The bridge broke nnd they all fell in ; "Mischief take all!” quoth Brian O'Lin. But this was not the only thing that happened. Puss Junior and his Good Gray Horse were also thrown into the river. It took the Good Gray Horse some time to swim to land, for he had sprained >his left leg, and, to the dismay of his small owner, he was obliged to limp along the road nnd finally to halt altogether. “You had better come to our bouse,” said Brian O'Lin: “we will feed and bed your horse and give you some warm clothing. lam almost frozen myself with this pesky wetting.” When the Good Gray norse was made comfortable Puss Junior went inside the house and put on a warm coat which Mrs. O'Lin bad got out for hiqi. Os course, the whole family had to put on dry clothing, after which they sat around the fire and talked. "It will take some time to dry your breeches,” said Puss. “The woolly side is just soaked.” “I remember the sheep It came from,” said Mr. O’Lln. “It was a big ram that was killed In a fight with another. So I skinned him and made myself a pair of breeches. They are very nice in the Wlrter.” "So yon lost a fine sheep, but gained a pair of breches.” laughed Puss. “I remember how Little Bo Teep nearly lost her sheep. You 6ee, I helped her find them. It was one of my earliest adventures.” “Tell us. my good Sir Fujs Junior,” exclaimed Mrs. O'Lln. “I think It was little Jenny Wren who first showed me their tails hanging on a tree. Then Bo Peep came along, crying bitterly. So I offered her my aid.” said Puss, stretching out his toes before the fire nnd curling his mustache like a regular story-telßr. “After awhile we came across them, quietly feeding in a meadow. I had taken down the woolly tails and stuffed them in my pocket, so when wo found her sheep. Bo Peep and I pinned them on again. You see they looked so queer without them, and then, too, you remember what It says in Mother Goose: “ ‘Leave them alone, and they'll come home, Bringing their tails behind them.'“And they couldn’t have done that If we hadn't pinned them on.” And in the next story you shall hear whnt happened after that.—Copyright, 1922.

Hooper had retired last night she had finally consented to abide l y 'her hi r band’s decision that Roger take the job that had been offered him on Saturday. Air. Hooper's employer, Arr. Allen, tne brother of the man who had been so friendly toward them in Alayfield had sent for him and asked him if be would like to turn his Saturday's during the summer to good account. “I've been trying to tell you all week mother and you wouldn’t listen to a word about it,” lioger reminded her. “I hope you’ve changed your mind about letting me do it.” “Your father is In favor of having yon go to work.” answered Airs. Hooper in a slightly non-commiital tone, “and I think we ought to be guided by what he thinks is right.” "It isn’t quite that Mary,” said Henry quietly, deciding to put the matter In the proper light before his son and not make it seem like an arbitrary decision in the fact of Airs. Hooper's opposition. “Roger Is quite old enough to learn the value of money because he has earned it and when this opportunity has come for him to use some of his spare hours for a cash return there is no reason In the world why he shouldn’t take It.” “Except that mother doesn’t like tne idea of my working at all -until I've finished school,” said Roger trying as be always did to save his mother’s feelings when theings were going against her, “and I can see she hasn’t changed her mind she's only giving in to us.” “But you haven’t told me yet Just what Air. Allen wants you to do,” broke in Airs. Hooper, wishing- the discussion to end, now that there was no doubt as to their decision about Roger accepting the Jot'. “Well, he has bought anew place Just out of towa—several acres, I think,” answered Roger, “and thtere Is a little house already on it. He is planning to build a larger one later in the spring, but right away he wants a lot of things done about straightening up, and hoeing and raking and piling and burning rub- | blsh. So he wants me to go out there early every Saturday morning and he will join me right after lunch, so I'll put In a whole day.” “I can't imagine any more satifactory work than that for the spring aad summer,” said Air. Hooper enthusiastically. “I shouldn’t have liked it so well if Mr. Allen had given you an indoor Job in the office.” “And he will pay you JS a day for the work?” asked Airs, Hooper. “And my carfare,” said Reger laughing, “don’t forget that.” “Isn't that something grand,” said Helen enviously, reaching for another piece of buttered toast and being rebuked by her mother for Dot having asked Roger to pass it. “I wonder if I couldn’t find a job, too." “Helen!” exclaimed her mother In a scandalized tone; “whoever heard of Ruch a thing. A little girl like you talking about Jobs.” “Besides those grand girls she knows might not speak to her if she went to work,” remarked her father laughing. “That’s so, they might not,” said Helen Instantly sobered. “I never thought of that, did you, Roger?” “There you are being snobbish again Helen in spite of all I've said,” warned Airs. Hooper as they rose from the table. “It Is perfectly honorable for every one to work. You want to always remember that.” “In spite of that last warning to Hel- | en,” said Airs. Hooper as his wife walked ;to the front door with him, “I wonder if your opposition to letting Roger go to work isn't based on what you think they would say in Mayfield if they heard Roger had been forced to lend a helping hand toward the family income.” The menus for the three meals on Wednesday are: BREAKFAST Apple Sauce Cereal Hot Cakes Svrup Coffee LUNCHEON Baked Stuffed Onions Creamed Potatoes Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding Coca DINNER Vegetable Soup Stuffed Baked Haddock Deviled Beefs Hashed Brown Potatoes Apple Pie LENTEN SALAD.
