ASKS HELP OF WOMEN TO PUT BILL THROUGH Congressman Sees Interest of Suffragettes in Naturalization Act. Special to Indiana Dally Timas and Philadelphia Public Ledger. - Bv CONSTANCE lIREXF.L WASHINGTON, March 2a— “The women will have to help get this through,” said Representative Johnson of Washington to some friends the other day when he introduced his bill on which the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization of the House has been struggling for two years. >o wonder he thought of the women, because women's committees on American citizenship tn all women's organizations have teen agitating for many of tne provisions now contained In the bllL In brief, the bill alms "to provide a uniform rule of naturalization and to nmecd and codify the laws relating to the acquisition and loss of citizenship; to equalize the citizenship status of men and women; to establish a method for the registration of aliens fir their better guidance and protection; and for other purposes." Thus Is the purpose stated at the top of the bill, which is H. P-. 10S00, and which any one may obtain by writing to hla or her Representative m gr*s*OCTZJNE or NEW MEASURE. The bill contains ninety printed pages, but in big type, so it need sdare no one by Its length. In this brief outline we will only stress those points which have been topics of discussion in women's meetings and conventions for the past two or three years—that la, ever since the war brought to light the necessity of making applicants for citizenship learn English and of granting Independent citizenship to married women, for Instance. Those two provision j are contained tn the bill. Men or women In the future will have to speak, read and write the English language before final citizenship papers are granted- And i.he bill shows the way. The Bureau of Immigration In the Department of Labor Is to I.# changed to the Bureau of Citizenship, Wilder a director who is authorized: “To cooperate with the pnblle school authorities for the guidance and protection, and for promoting the well being, of the foreign born and of adult illiterate individuals by affording them full opportunity to attend citizenship classes of the public schools, to be conducted In public school buildings, . . . for the purpose of aiding such Individuals In avoiding embarrassment due to ignorance of American laws, customs and life, and of combating doctrines of government repugnant to the Constitution of the United States.” CITIZENSHIP OF WOMEN INTERESTS. Thera are pages and pages of well-thought-out details, Including renunciation of any “bolshevistic" theories before aliens may take the oath of cltlzensh'p, but the second provision of great ;st Interest to women Is her Independent cltlzeshlp. That Is. In the future, a woman once an American, shall remain an American, even though she marries a Frenchman, Englishman or other alien. On the other hand, no woman who la not an American citizen in her own right, ahall become one ly marriage to an American citizen, though she can herself qualify for citizenship and become one. The hill Is retroactive tn one respect. In sect.on 461, page 60 It gives the right to an American woman who has lost her citizenship through marriage to become a citizen almost Immediately. The bill clearly sets forth Just how to do It, but as It has not passed as yet, let no woman who has become an alien by marriage. Jump to the conclusion that her time has come. Fortunately for the women who became Americans by marriage, they may remain ruch, as the bill does not seem to be retroactive in that respect. CHILDREN BORN ON FOREIGN SOIL. Another interesting detail to American mothers, who have t Iways been so afraid of having their children born on foreign soli, section 504 ana page 65, “relating to birth in foreign countries,” provides, ; that an Individual born after the passage of this act outside of the United States or any of its possession ■, either parent ! being at the tine of such birth a citizen of the United States, Is a citizen of the : United State#.” The Introduction of this bill Into the i House Is sure to be hailed with Joy by : women's clubs and organizations who ! have given such deep study to making ! citizenship a responsibility. Not only to the new women voters, but to aliens and young people reaching their majority. Whether it can be passed this session, either In House or Senate, is undecided. For Important meeting of the executive board of the National Council for the Re- J dnctlon of Armaments (formerly For the Limitation of Armaments! has been postponed to Friday. More than a dozen of the most prominent women's organizations are affllilated and are waiting with interest the discussion at the meeting. The council has a campaign for the support of tha conference treaties, but is now launched In an effort to reduce Army and Navy forces from the figures of last year. Members of the executive board who have already telegraphed that they would be present at Friday's meeting are Miss Katherine Ludington of Lyme, Connecticut, New | England director of the League cf Women Voters, and Harold Evans, of Philadelphia, member of the Friends' disarmament council.—Copyright, 1902, by Public Ledger Company.

Revealer of Antigonish Ghost Afflicted With ‘Hant’ in Jersey Home

NEW YORK, March 22.—Dr. Waiter Franklin Prince recently went to Canada to Investlga e ghosts. Today It was revealed that the ghosts are investigating Dr. Prince. Back from the snowbound wilds of Antigonish where he discovered the firesetting ghost of the MacDonald farm to be Mary Ellen MacDonald herself. Dr. Prince today told about a ghost of hla own, somewhere In New Jersey. The American Society for Psychic Research Investigator described the antics of his private spook, which for months has caused alarm and amusement In his New Jersey home. The whereabouts of the unearthly visitor's demonstrations GIRL SCOUTS DRIVE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE Campaign to Provide for Carrying on Work in Progress. Approximately $2,500 of the SIO,OOO besought this week by the campaign committee of the Girl Scouts, to carry on the work In Indianapolis was in the hands of the committee at the close of the second day of the drive last night and it was expected at noon today that when the total figured np tonight. It would show the workers ahead of their schedule. Mrs. Stuart Dean, chairman of the committee of twenty-five women who are conducting the drive, said today that more than a thousand dollars was obtained on the opening day of the drive and that yesterday's contributions and the sale of the Daddy Buttons had added another SI,SOO to this amount bringing the total to a little over $2,300. Responses to the letters sent out by the committee soliciting checks of $5 for the Girl Scout Daddy Buttons have been coming in to headquarters in a pleasing manner, and It is believed that many who Intend to send their checks and have neglected to do so will send them today. Tkeße buttons also are being sold by the different troops in the city. Troop No. 14, of which Mrs. Alice GruclU is captain, leading the other troops with a record of eighteen button sales. Capaln Cecelia Deubtg, who sold the first and second buttons to Governor Warren T. McCray and Mayor Shank, has added several more sales to her list.

Willie, the Flea, Should Pick On Someone His Own Size. , - • r ' By Arch Dale

MRS. HARRY LOWE, elded to furnish a schoolroom In the new school building, now under construction at the Indiana Masonic Home at Franklin. A dance will be given tomorrow evening at the Prather Masonic Temple, FortySecond street and College avenue, the proceeds to be used for the school fund. Mrs. Frank E. Kramer is chairman of the dance committee assisted by Mrs. Irwin Esterllne, Mrs. Ralph Swearingen, Mrs. Harry Lowe, Mrs. Jack 11. Rhodes, Mrs Clarence winchell, Mrs. Elmer Yocum and Mrs. Arthur Wilson. Mrs. John Watson will be In charge of the refreshments.

Dr. Prince declined to disclose, saying it would not Increase the value of the property if the facts were known. THIS GHOST ROCKS BEDS. Dr. Prince's ghost, from his statements, appears even more remarkable than that of Antigonish. It rocks beds, producing a sensation akin to seasickness in the or.-upler; it rar*. imitates a peg-legged man walking on the floor above the haunted bedroom and gives other unearthly demonstrations of its presence. Like the spook of Nora Beotia, Dr. Prince's private spirit is dependent upon a girl for Its communication with this world. Tbeodoela Prince, the scientist s daughter, is very psychic. “I have lived in the house whe-e this ghost Is demonstrating for three years," Dr. Frlnoe said. "It made known Its presence by raps which continued at times for months. “Visions of persons never known to my family or myself floated in tha air. Lately they were identified. DEFORMED MAN'S STEFS HEARD. "Footsteps of a man with one leg shorter than the other were beard walking above our heads. We learned that a man so deformed had died in that very house fifteen years before. "My daughter tells wonderful things with the aid of • crystal. She was able to describe furniture r a thi third floor of this house as It existed many years before we occupied it. "Recently, the ghostly rnppings have occurred in my office. Those are not heard by others than myself. They usually oecur In groups. "One phase of the unearthly phenomena at my New Jersey home was the violent shaking of my daughter's bed after she retired. This would keep up sometimes for half an hour. "When I occupied the bed the same thing occurred. It produced a feeling akin to seasickness." BLUEBERRY PIE. Two and one-haif cups of blueberries; two-thirds cup sugar; few grains salt; flour. Line a pit pan with rich paste. Wnsh end pick over the berries; drain, turn into pie tin, rouudlog them slightly; dredge with flour; sprinkle with sugar and salt; cover and bake forty-live minutes In a moderate oven. Two tablespoons of currant Juice added to the pie improves tbe flavor, particularly when huckleberries take the place of blueberries. WASHCLOTH frINT. If the washcloths nro constantly found on the floor because the small folk don’t take time to hang them up by the rather fuzzy loops of fabric found on them Invest In some small Ivory rings and sew one to each washcloth. They can be hung up easily then. UMBRELLAS. The past year has made a decided chsnge In the colors used for the manufacture of umbrellas. Black is scarcely used by the feminine contingent. Purple, green and periwinkle are the favorites. This is due to the fact that the same umbrella serves for both rain and sun. COLORS. Sealing wax red, vivid yellow and emerald green are three colors which are much In vogue this Reason. HEMSTITCHING. If yon are hemstitching linen It is a good idea to use the threads which have been pulled out of the linen. This Is especially wise if the linen is colored.

Primes* nr AUGUSTIN rniiLehh or w. breeden Adventuress r r~ ■ ~

An expedition planned to reopen an abandoned mine In the Interior of Mexico, Is being went out by Henry Jnrndyee, capitalist of New York. Richard Henry Gladney, young portrait painter, and cousin of Jarndyce, Joins the group for the sake of adventure. Senora Trabajur, alleged princess, claims that the mine to bo 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, Wliile making the trip from New York to Vera Cruz exciting events tuke place. An attempt is made lo destroy the mining machinery on board the vessel. Plots and intrigues are plentiful. Follow the story from here. CHAPTER Vlll—Continued. Then a gigantic fellow, who was evidently their chief or their medicine man, stepped forward and addressed her in the same tongue In which she had spoken. He looked at me from time to time as he spoke, and I thought at times made angry gestures toward me. I wondered if she had told them that I was her fiance and if he were objecting to me. I shouldn't have blamed him If he was objecting to me. Because I am only six feet tall—beside that giant a mere pigmy of a man. Moreover, outside my being a cousin to a Wall Street king, I could, of course, lay no claim to royal blood. After a time tbe big fellow ceased his palaver and retired to the semi-circle with the others. Then "Queen Ynez” addressed a few more words to them in their language, but without rising, and then bade me in Spanish to stand up. As I rose to my feet about half their number bowed down, but the big fellow and ell the rest remained standing and covered. I saw that here was difficulty, nd somehow felt rather thankful for It; because I didn’t care to go through a tribal marriage without being consulted, if that was what my queen was up to. But In an instant she leaped to her feet, and at that they all bowed as before. She spoke rapidly, and angrily, and in a moment the last man of them had backed and bowed from her presence, disappearing not by the door by which we had entered, but by a low passage to the left of the chamber, end the brilliant light snapped out, leaving the room dimly lighted as before. As soon ns they were gone Ynez was herself again, but still trembling from iom strange anger. She pulled me to her and kissed my lips and said; “Now what do you think of my pretenses to royal blood ?” "Undoubtedly you’re a queen," I said; “and furthermore, you have probably Just now saved my life. But I'd like to leave here now if you don't mind."

CHAPTER IX. “Wait,” *h* commanded, "I must shew you some of the wonders of my underground palace.” She led me about the room, showing me this or that banner or piece of beaded tapestry and explaining the meaning of the designs of each. Finally she pushed through tha great door by which her ("knights" had withdrawn and I was de- ! lighted to see a shaft ard bright day- ! light filtering tn. She led me forward to i great grilled opening, and from it we (booked down upon the colorful roofs of ;the city lelow. 1 “Escape from her# 1s impossible," she said with a laugh. "There is a sheer : drop of nearly two hundred feet from this window. You see I could keep you here a prisoner if I so desired." i "But you love me too much for that," I said. “And, besides, Frothro, who knows everything, would eventually guess my hiding place; and the Mexican government is against you and the church is against you, and my cousin, Henry Jarndyce, would use his gold against you and crush you utterly." She was Just a woman, for all her power among her sun worshipers, and at this threatening speech from mo. yielded and crept Into my arms to be petted. She had somehow grown more beautiful in iny sight, and I told her so. “How should you like to come here every day, and let me dress In the old barbaric garb of my sun worshiping ancestors and have you paint me?” she asked. "I should bs delighted," I declared. “Tt wonld mako the greatest of great paintings ” “You shall do so. Could you paint me in this light?" I stood her in the light of the window. "Yes, yes, I could paint you here,” 1 said. "The light is much better earlier in the day," she said. “You shall come every morning at 9. but we won't have to enter by the crypt. There is another entrance, as yon may have gnessed." Thirty mtnufes later, as we issued through the crumbling fire plnce at the back of the but of some ancient Mexican and stepped into the honest daylight of the street, I felt like a person coming from an exciting matinee into the bumdrum of street life. The whole thing seemed n mobient inter like a theatrical prrforinnncev And then the thonght struck me: Perhaps that was all It was after all. But one thing remained to give that theory the lie—that was her remarkable resemblance to tbe portrait of Saint Ynez in the church a’>ove. "Shall I keep your secret’” I asked, ns we parted before my hots.’ "No,” she said slowly. “I should rather you would tell Prothro who ami what I am and try to employ him To come in with you and me and help us develop our mine." In the lobby of the hotel I ran Into Reriano and Rifert. Both were very cordial. and this to my mind threw light upon Madame Trnbnjar’s new plans with I me. She had doubtless told them that she meant lo win me away from my friends. I began to have the utmost respect for the woman's intelligence, and began to wonder, also, if she were not actually In love with me. ns I feared I was beginning to be with her. With a grim smila I pictured ntysolf deserting Barnette and Prothro; pictured

Prothro's implacable wrath and my swift trip back to New York by the route Nelson had taken. I was thankful to Nelson at that moment for showing me what a despicable cur a man could become under the hands of an attractive scheming woman, and also for showing me Just what a desperate adventuress this "Princess Tchacalca" was. But I made myself very easy with Sifert and his colleague and meanwhile took the opportunity to study the faces of the two. I was convinced that two greater scoundrels never lived, and that neither would stop even at murder to accomplish his purpose. I sat in my room for two hours talking with them, and so far did I make them believe that I was at outs with Prothro and Barnette, that they revealed to me much of the inwardness of their schemes. “Here's the situation at the TJeximal mine,’’ said Sifert. “Two branches of the same family claim it, an orthodox branch coming down from' old Don Enrique del Para and a bunch of sun worshipers coming down from Don Carlos del Xieximal, who was kicked out of his property by the church and the Mexican government for heresy, although he's tha man that first opened up the mine. This Mrs. Trabajar Is honestly descended from old Don Carlos; I got that from Henry Jarndyce himself—he knows what he's up against. Now, Gladney, I want to tell you, if you want to make yourself as rich as your cousin and richer, all you've got to do Is to marry this woman and go in with us to develop the mine.” “With what resources could we develop It?’’ “With borrowed money. You could borrow money, and so could the Princess. But before we can begin to operate we must discourage and dishearten Prothro and his gang." “They're disheartened now,” I said. “They can't*set up without those blueprints, and they can’t get thele machinery off the cars. They're up against It.” “I know they are,” put in Seriano. "They could be bought off now—at least Barnette could. I could buy Barnette for ten thousand. Prothro would be harder to deal with. He's a hard nut to crack, as you Yankees say." We talked on for a long time and sifert finally let me know that Madame Trabajar had given me an exhibition of her royalty; though how she had communicated that fact to him I cannot guess. I felt like a poor mutt In the toils of a gang of desperate adventurers and began to wonder If I would ever emerge with a whole skin. "So you are goi.ig there every day to paint her picture?” he said. Lucky dog; but that's the way with you stalwart) young fellows. Seriano or I might have tried for that, but she had met the wives of both of us before we were sabe to who and what she was. I'd give a million dollars to be la your shoes, ycung man.” “And I'd give a considerable to be out of them right now,” was my mental comment.

CHAPTER X. I was dragged from the midst of weirdest dreams that night by the big fist of ; Prothro banging on my door and his \ hearty voice bidding me get up. “Come in,” I said to him, “there are several things I must teil yon at once.” (To Be Continued.) PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. f - 1 By DAVID CORT. J The next morning Puss Junior found that hts good gray horse was too lame to proceed upon the Journey, so he left him In care of Brian O'Lln, who promised to cure his leg and feed him well until such time as he should recover, '“in the meantime, my good Sir Cat, I see of no way except to walk, as far as you are (Concerned." “The'e two legs of mine,” cried Pnss, "have carried me many a mile heretofore; I don’t think they will fall me now,” and he bravely started off on his journey, after thanking the O'l.ins for their hospitality. He had gone but a little way when he saw two blackbirds. So he commenced to sing this old Mother Goose ditty: "There were two blackbirds Pat upon a hill, The one named Jill, T.ie other named Jill, Flv away .Tack! Fly away Jill! Come again. Jack! Come again, Jill!” And then, would yffn believe it, they flew away, hut pretty soon they came back to sit on a rail by the roadside. It was about noontime, so Puss took out of his pocket a big raspberry jam sandwich and commenced hts lunch. "Come and pick up the crumbs,” said Puss, "and I will tell you about a little boy and girl named Jack and Jill." So the two blackbirds hopped down and ate the crumbs, listening all the time to Puss Junior. “.Tack and Jill went np the hill to fetch a pail of water," he commenced, “and I was with them. But, oh, dear me! Just ns they started to go down the hill Jack tripped and fell down and crushed his hat, and Jill —well, she came tumbling after. And I got all spattered, and one of my shoes was haif-filled with water.* And after Puss hail enten the jam sandwich and the blackbirds picked tip the last crumb, he got up and stretched hts legs, and the blackbirds stretched their ; wings and flew off, singing merrily: "Careless .Tack and careless Jill, To let the pall of water spill!” Although we are but little birds. We’ve listened carefully to your words. And if we're asked a pail to fill We'll not be like your Jack and Jill!" ; I And in tbe next story you shall hear i what happened after that.—Copyright, ■ 1922. To Be Continued.

Follow them dally in an interesting review of their heyne life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.J WEDNESDAY. After the mending, which was really the most important thing to be done in the evenings until it was out of the way for the week had been disposed of, Mrs. Hooper took out her cars and file and prepared to work on the records she was making of her household equipment together with all the data relating to the Hooper family and its belongings that ohe considered necessary to have at hand |at all times for reference. She had fini ished her address file and the cards on ■ which she kept all facts concerning the health of each member of the family, and i now as she spread out her papers on the ! table Henry pulled up his chair to see . what she intended to do next. “I thought you were going to read the ! newspaper to me as I worked,’ said Mrs. Hooper. "I want very much to hear ; the latest news from Ireland and South ; Africa.” “Ob, I’ll tell you what's happening i later,” answered Mr. nooper. "I'd much | rather talk about the entries you are ; making on those cards. You'd think this humble home was a manufacturing plant j from all the cards you are making out i on us.” “But Henry,” protested Mrs. Hooper, “you have no idea how much Important data there is connected with every well managed hourfe, that really ought to be kept track of in a systematic way, and having it arranged properly assures a woman hours of time saved and does away with a tremendous amount of wear and tear on her nerves.” “What department of records are you beginning now?” asked Henry. “I call this the House Records,” answered Mrs. Hooper writing the two words on the tab card that would separate It from her medical record. “Yes," itgnarked Henry vaguely, “that sounds as if It might include every* thing.” “Just about,” answered Mrs. Hoopes smiling, "aiwl I shall begin it with a set of cards on ‘family sizes.’ ’’ “And waht may that be pray?” In* quired Henry. “Well,” began Mrs. Hooper as she wrote Henry’s name on top of one of tha blank cards, “most women waste a great deal of time trying to remember what size socks or shirts or collars their hus* bands wear. They are always getting them wrong and having to waste more time taking them back and trying to change them. And i*ve actually seen women In Mayfield miss perfectly good bargain sales because they didn’t know the sizes of any of their family's wearing apparel and they didn’t trust themselves to guess.” While she was talking Mrs. Hooper had written on the card a list of all the things Mr. Hooper wore, and proceeded to put the sizes after each. ‘‘You can tell me the size of your hat and your shirt without any trouble Henry, I suppose,” she remarked, “but I don’t imagine yon know the size of your socks or your gloves off hand do you?” Henry acknowledged that he didn’t. "But I have to know the sizes of every* thing my whole family wears if I am to do all their shopping, so you see how necessary it is to have tt all correctly recorded instead of trying to carry it around In my head.” “But I should think you'd want to J keep it in a note book in your bag you could refer to it when you shopped,” commented Henry. ‘‘Ob, a note book In your bag Is always all cluttered up with everything,” objected Mrs. nooper, “and new ones have to be made out every. bo often when it wears out or gets lost. With this plan I refer to my file on Thursdays, when I make out the shopping list for the week and put down the sizes against the articles I Intend to buy, or I take the cards out anil slip them Into my img I go and have them to refer to if I run on any bargains.” The menus for the three meals on Thursday are:
