WOMEN FOCUS ATTENTION ON CAPITOL HILL Leaders of Legislation Movements Are Optimistic, but Take No Chances. Special to Indiana Dally Times md Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE PREXEL. ■WASHINGTON, March 23.—What -with teur-power treaty In the Semite, the eolIler “bonus” bill in the House and apjroprlations for the various departments if the GoTernxnent under discussion at :hls time, attention Is centered on that md of Pennsylvania avenue dominated jy Capitol HllL Women Interested in legislation have >een most active in piloting through appropriations for the children's bureau tnd women in Industry bureau, both with :he Department of I.abor. Now they are jubilant, though a few lays ago they feared the Senate would ?ct down what the House had decided ipon. By “they” we mean Marlon Parkhurst, eglslative secretary of the League of Women Voters; Ethel M. Smith and Mrs. Ellis A. Tost, who have the same position ter the National Women's Trade Union League, and the W. C. T. U.. respectivey, and Lida Halford, director of national ieadquarters of the General Federation if Women's Clubs, to mention only four. It will be a surprise to the women back lome who probably think appropriations dip through Congress quite by themtelves. Perhaps they do In case of postifflces or seeds, but not for the women's mreau or the children’s bureau. fAY SEEM THAT WAp JUT IT IS NOT. Established as part of the Federal Govirnment thro b the arduous efforts of vcmen’s orga izatlons, it secures each ear’s appropr.atlons, to carry on their rork would be taken as a matter of nurse. But no. Even this year, In spite of a lOtieeable effort to be agreeable to the sew women voters, and to let them have heir way when it does not interfere rith things as they were, the above menioned women and others have been obIged to devote all their efforts during he past few weeks just to next year s ppropriations for the children’s and romen’s bureau. This seems a pity when here are so many other things to do. However, now this worry Is over. Apiropriations are fixed for next fiscal year, •eginning July L There won't be anyhlng more to do than to spend it and ome again next year for more. What Congress finally has done 13 to inrease the appropriations for the chllren’s bureau, $40,000; that is, instead f $271,040 for this year, they will have 311,040. The increase is to be spent for ivestigations and report on matters peralning to the welfare of children and hild life. Os course, all these reports dll be available to the women of the ountry. Millions of pamphlets are sent nt from the children's bureau every ear. TO FANCY SALARIES RE PAID. As for the women’s bureau, the lnrease is from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO, for ivestigations and reports as to condiions of women in Industry. No extravaance In salaries Is permitted, as they re fixed with the appropriation. Nothig over $5,000 even for the chief, and lost of them around $2,000, Is the tipnlation. That Is done not only from sense of economy, but because Confess likes to have as many posts as osslbie available In the Federal eervTherefore, the women who have been lobbying" with the Appropriations Comlittef of both House and Senate, then rith individual Senators when the bills ot to the floor, and then again with the onferen'e committee which has to iron nt the differences between the House nd Senate bills are pleased, and the fomen back home may rest assured that ie work of the ‘‘pet' bureaus of women dll go on next year. In addition to these appropriations the loney for the Sheppard-Towner bill, not lcluded in the budget, also has delanded attention. But that, too, has ame through with flying colors, and ongress has appropriated the full mo* nt called for the bill, both for the aiance of this year and for next fiscal ear.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger ompany.

Many Pupils Slackers in Drill With Tooth Brush School Nurses Find Less Than 50 Per Cent of Children Clean Teeth Daily .

If statistics gathered from two public schools in the better residential districts la Indianapolis are indicative of the condition in all school buildings the tooth brush is not very mudh thought of in Indianapolis homes. For, heed ye, you manufacturers of dental creams and molar mops, despite all that has been printed and said about the evils of moral uncleanliness, onl\ 189 among 850 school children lutervU ved by school nurses of the city health iepartment said they clean their t ;th dally. Two hundred thirty-four sed tooth brushes occasionally, twent’ nine had them but didn’t use them at . one used the brush every Sunday l <rnlng when she took a bath. No brus'ij were owned by 398. It was estimated of the 850 children 628 had defective teeth and only 311 of the 628 had teeth that could be restored. There were sixty in the 311 who should have extraetio- work done. IF FA RENTS WON’T, HEALTH OFFICIALS MUST. All of which means, since parents are not watching their children’s teeth, it Is np to the city health authorities to do it. Dr. Morgan said. There are two free dental clinic* operated In the city in cooperation with the Children's Aid Association. These can care for only from 5(0 to 600 a year, however. For children whose parents cannot afford to pay dentists' bills alone, several times this capacity Is required. The health department is considering rlans to enlarge the free clinic facilities. Dr. Morgan said. In order the field may be understood thoroughly a complete dental survey, along the lines conducted In the two picked schools, will be made before the end of the school year. “Apparently, many parents do not realise the direct relation of Infections of the mouth to many childhood diseases, as well as the effect this condition wouid have on the health In future years,’’ said the health secretary. “Pockets of Infection continually draining into the system are conducive to lowered body resistance and the development of disease iu almost any part of the body. When a child's teeth are properly taken care of it is not only a preventive measure for the present time.

Princess or Adventuress?

An expedition planned to reopen an abandoned mine in the interior of Mexico, is being sent out by Henry Jarnflyce, capitalist of New York. Richard Henry Gladney* young portrait painter, and cousin of Jarndyce, Joins the group for the sake of udventnre. Senora Trabajar, alleged princess, claims that the mine to be worked by the Jarpdyce Company reuUy 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 tho trip from New York to Vera Cruz exciting events take place. An .attempt is made to destroy the mining machinery on board tho vessel. Plots and intrigues are plentiful. Follow the story from here. CHAPTER X — Continued. He flung himself Into a chair like a very tired man and I sat on the edge of the bed and talked and talked. I told him everything, circumstantially and in detail. While I was talking he kept whistling softly between his teeth. “I have heard something of this before,” he said slowly. "Jarndyce knew something of It, but nothing of this Madame Trabajar, and Mora has thrown a little light on the subject from time to time. By the way, that gentry can be troublesome when they take tt into their heads Do you believe this woman Is actually a sun worshipers'/” ’’She talks their Jargon, and she looks remarkabley like that portrait In the Chapel of Saint Ynez.” “By George, come to think of It, she does. I remember that picture very well; and I was always wondering on the boat who It was she looked like. Boy, it looks to me like she's mighty near got you hooked. Do you want to marry her 7” “Do you?” Ho slapped his thigh and laughed heartily. “Your old questioning trick! No, I'm otherwise employed. So she asked you to use your Influence to win me over? Os course, yon know I work for Jarndyce. But, say, come to think of It, mightn't it be to Jarndyee's advantage if we took her in with us? Why couldn’t wo form a sort of partnership?” “And me marry her?” “Pardon me, I hadn't gone so far as to suggest that, Glad.” “But I have gone so far as to consider It seriously,” I said “I believe honestly that it would be to Henry Jarndyee's advantage if he should go halvers with her In the mine; that la, if she’s what she pretends she Is.” Prothro's blue-gray ayes grew cold. “Gladney,” he said, “you haven’t contemplated a further step, have you? You wouldn't turn ” “Listen, l’rothro; I'm not Nelson. And Pm Henry Jarndyee’s guest here, as much as if I were in his dining-room In New York. Do you think his plate would be safe with me in his house?” Troth™ laughed again, his big hearty laugh that was so good to hear. “But, Glad,” he tnused aloud, “if she'* all she pretends she is, she wouldn't go partners with Henfy Jarndyce nor any other millionaire In the world. There's no half-way course open to you. It's either marry her and desert us, or It's stick to us through and through, and risk your life In doing it. “I’ll stick to you,” I said. “The woman Is an adventuress, whatever else she Is, and her disgusting affair with Nelson is more than I can contemplate. You see, although poor and an artist, I still have some little shreds of self-respect.” “Then do thin,” said Prothro. “Go and nt least pretend to paint her. Put my proposition before her and temporize as long as poslsbla. Meanwhile we may have to fight these Aztec brigands any day.”

The next morning at daybreak I went with Prothro and Mora to inspect our machinery. That was the first opportunity T had to see it at close range,. There was a great centrifugal pump with two carloads of pining. There was a great dynamo arid several motors, a big WestInghouae engine, a giant winch and drum with a quantity of cable for lifting the buckets, a crusher, and about a dozen centrifugal washing pans; in fact, a complete gold mining outfit costing perhaps a cool half million dollars. There were some otpor cases, of what nature I did not inqnire. All this had been tied up and useless for days, and now this morning Prothro, with Ms permit from Mexico City, was anxious to begin to reload It at once to his narrow gauge road for Tleximal. The gang was ready and apparently wanting to go to work. Prothro spoke quietly to Bourke, who hail been appointed foreman, and Bourke stepped out snd called: 'Come on, boys, let's get reloadin’ this stuff.” Not a man budged from his place. “Come on up here, fellows, wo'U skid this engine across first.” Not a man moved In his tracks. Bourke looked at Prothro for Instruction, and Barnette, who had started up the street to go get some sleep, wheeled and walked back. “Men,” asked Prothroo, “what’s the matter?” “We've struck,” said a big fellow named Spinks. “Struck for what?” “Ten dollars a day, gold, and our equal snare in tha company’s takin’s at the mine.” I’rothro stepped fearlessly in among them. “Say look here,” he said. “You haven’t worked out your passage yet. You’ll work that out before you strike or I'll clap the last one of you In the chain gang.” ) “Just try it,” shouted Spinks, and Prothro landed him a blow to the point of the Jaw that sent him sprawling backward across a pile of scrap Iron. There was a rush. Six men made at Prothro from all directions. But Barnette Jumped In and engaged two of them. Bourke, In spite of his bad arm, took on two more, and Prothro looked after the other two. Mora drew a pistol and stood the other off, and I followed suit The battle among the ten men

lasted for some moments. There were panting and curses, and a world of ptyiishment for all. The curses were mostly directed at Battling Bourke. “Turncoat, traitor, wot made you sell out?” This was the burden of the villification flung at the ex-prizefighter. But after a time the seven' assailants drew off defeated —all save two, who were completely knocked out. All that were still on their legs drew oft and held a long consultation. “Why don't you let them go or lock them up and employ native labor to do the work ?” I asked Barnette. “That's the trouble,” he swore. “We’ve tried to hire native laborers; but there's evidently a boycott against us—Sifert and Serlano’s work.” “No, that woman’s,” I Instructed him. “She’s really what she claimed to be, or partly so—get Prothro to tell you—she's got a part of tho native population under her thumb.” ( “I’d like to break her neck,” said Bar. nette, panting. While we were speaking a stalwart bronze brute, who had stolen Idly smoking a cigarette during the fight, edged 'up to me. “What are you doing here?” he asked In Spanish. “I work for Jarndyce and Company of New York,” I said. “Well, you won’t work for them long unless you keep faith with the Princess Ynez Tchacalea,” he hissed truculently. At the moment I recognized him as one of the twenty, one of those who had refused to bow before me the day before. As he stalked off I followed after and touched him on the elbow. “Pardon me, senor,” I said. “I now recognize you. Know then that I am prepared tc keep faith with the Princess Yne* Tchacalea, that the representative of my cousin in New York, who Is rich enough to buy this province and strong enough to crush the beautiful princess, is sending me to her today for a conference with her and will offer to go Into an honorable partnership with her to develop the mine at Tleximal.” “The princess Tchacalea cannot stoop to form a partnership,” he growled, as he shambled on down the railroad yards. When I told Prothro a few minutes later about my passage of words with this sinner he said. “You’d better be on your P’s and Q's. We don’t care to lose a good man before we start. Don’t fall to keep your appointment with her this morning. I got your painting materia for you In Mexico City as I promised.’ And I hurried away from the railroad yards to get ready to keep my perilous appointment. CHAPTER XI. Have yon ever been at the breaking of a strike? It is a sordid business at best. Even when the striker is entlerly In the wrong with his demands, the strikebreaker, like the detective and the spy. Is looked upon as a sort of pariah. Certainly the strikebreakers Prothro and Barnette managed to employ In the colorful city of Gunanajuaro were a scurvy lot. They were for the most part the plug uglles of the town, Mexicans unattached to any hacienda or to any overload, men without any sort of religious or political faith. They worked for the hated “gringoes.” wherefore they were taboo for all self-respecting Mexicans In that city where American and English and German machinery Is equally despised, and where the only Ice In summer Is the snow-lee carried on tho back of a peon from the white mountain summits miles and miles away—a city, which, In spite of its many churches, Is still pagan at heart and will remain so for many genera*lons to come. We learned that the natives had names for us. Barnette was “the panther;” Prothro was “the demon of the railroad,” because ho had built the first railroad into the city; little Mora was “the apostate;’’ Battling Bourke was “el tore,” the bull, and I was—well, the name they called me by Is not translated into polite English—let us say, lady killer.

We kept Just seven workers of our old lot: and strange as It may seem, the seven men we kept were the seven that had made the attack and had been whipped that first morning. The others we sent through the political Influence of Mora to work out the price of their passage on a Government railroad in Zacatecas. I went that first morning and met the princess at the old Mexcian's, where wo did a disappearing act into her underground palace, but no sooner had I began to complain that the light was bad. I told her I could never hope to reproduce In that light the little flecks of gold In her deep-brown, liquid eyes, the faint half flush that died along her throat, the dove-toned shadow beneath her chin. Before I was half through, with the first sketch, 1 threw down my brushes in despair; and I ended by making her agree to let me come to her residence every day to paint her Instead of to that place. She also agreed to come to a conference and meet Prothro and Mora and me. but nothing carne of our tentatively offered partnership. It was Just as Prothro bad said, she scorned a partnership with anybody, and, I think, actually convinced Prothro that she was what she claimed to be. I must state frankly that she gained in dignity in the eyes of all of ue during these Interviews. Had it not been for her manner of conducting herself on board the ship and the lnnaie baseness of character that she had revealed there, I should have been more than pleased to have taken her back to New York and laid her claims before my cousin, and who knows, but that I might have gone still farther. Her house —rented or not, I cannot say —was a dignified old place of adobe and stucco, with an interior filled with art objects and luxurious hangings and rugs, and the finest of furniture. Besides, the lesser domestics she kept there an old duenna, deaf as a hitching post and ugly as only an old Mexican can be, and a Japanese butler of the fawning, shifty, self-important sort. She gave me one of her servants for a valet, gave me a suite of rooms and a latch key, so that I had the entree to at least a part of her house at any hour of the day or night To Be Continued.

Her pantry was not yet in the condition of “reserve” that she had always kept it at Mayfield because since she had arrived in Indianapolis she had never had a sufficient surplus in her food acocunt to really stock it up with the things she believed should be kept permanently on hand, but she decided to begin today and use up her food surplus each week no matter hod little it was on things to be put on the reserve shelf iu the pantry. Helen really didn’t need anew dress according to her mother's strict idea of economy, and to get her anew one for Easter seemad like encouraging the child in the extravagant notions about clothes that she seemed to posses to an alarming degree. But Henry had said rather casually this morning in a tone that sounded very like his sister Belle's; “Mary I hope you and the children will get some new clothes for Easter. It seems like a good investment to me to be rather well dressed since we have come as strangers to Indianapolis, and if we want our neighbors to think well of us, I don't believe you ought to appear shabby at church on Easter Sunday.” “Shabby I” excaimed Mrs. Hooper. “I don't know how you can say anything like that Henry.” ‘•Why no member of your family was ever shabby.” “I don't mean that.” Henry said hastily, “I know very well Mary that you always look to me as If your clothes had been bought only yesterday and I’ve never seen a child that I thought was better dressed than Helen, but as a matter of ttet I know It Is a long time since anything to wear has been bought except for Roger and me and I suppose other people will notice It if I don't.”

Mrs. Hooper laughed. “I hope yon are not going to have city notions, too, i Henry; that sounded almost like a speech from Bella A well-dressed woman doesn’t mean one that Is always buying clothes.” “Well it seems to me as if I hear nothing from the men in our office*, .but what their wives' clothes cost. One fellow that I like very much is always paying bills for something his wife has Just bought to wear. And of course,” he added lamely, “I wouldn't want you to seem different when you meet these people at church or anywhere. It was different somehow In Mayfield where we had known every one for years.” “It wasn't one bit different Henry,” exclaimed Mrs. Hooper, and there vras definite annoyance in her tone, “and I Intend ot establish here In Indianapolis the same reputatoin for being well dressed that I had In Mayfield and I shall continue In my same old way to buy new clothes as seldom as possible and to wear them as long as possible and still look quite as well as a lot of women who spend ttjelr whole time opening band boxes.” “I suppose you know best, Mary,” said Henry slowly, “but I believe new clothes are considered essential for Easter in a place like Indianapolis and I hope you’ll at least get anew hat.” “And if I don’t get anew dress for Easter I'll Just naturally die,” said Helen mournfully folding up her paper napkins which Mrs. Hooper clings to for breakfast. “Every girl I know Is having one and mine will look like rags next to them I know.” “Oh, very well,” said Mrs. Hooper resignedly. “I'll get the material for a ne.t dress for you today Helen and anew hat and shoes. Then I'll buy anew hat for myself, but further than that there will b*e no clothes bought until later In the season. I haven't learned to shop in Indianapolis yet and I’m not going to be hurried into buying a lot of things I don't want.” The menus for the three meals on Friday are: BREAKFAST.

And all tho dogs in the town Shall have a little bit.” Oh, dear me! This is what was golnff to happen to the little girl who had told on her brothers. And all the little dogs were standing around wagging their tails as Puss Junior passed by. It was a wonder that the dogs didn't rush out and bark at him, but they were so anxious to get a piece of the little girl's tongue that they didn’t notice him at all. Perhaps a cat with boots and spurs, a hat and plume and a Irusty sword didn't look like an ordinary cat to them. And neither was ou- little traveller. You see, these little boys had gone into an alley to play marbles on their way to school, and then the little girl had told her father how they had missed their lessons. “And Jimmy Jones won all tfca marbles, and there was a fight! And the teacher kept them In after school!” “Oh, me, oh, my?” cried Puss Junior, “please don’t slit her tongue!” “But why did you tell tales on you* brother?” asked her father. “Oh, please don't silt her tongue,” cried Puss Junior, again. “That's what they did in Goose time!” “That must have been very, very long ago in the ‘dark ages,’ for I've never heard of it except in ‘Mother Goose!’ ” answered Puss, laying hold of his sword. “Well, it’s only a rhyme!” laughed her father, picking up his little girl and hugging her. “Come on, Sir Cat follow me. You are quite a Knight of tha Round Table. If a fair lady be in distress, you are her champion!” And pretty soon all three came to aj little house where Fuss was invited to come in and play. There was a nice swing under an old apple tree, and soon he was swinging as high as the little girl could push him. All of a suden, ha Jumped out up among the branches and hung on to a limb, Just like a trapeze performer. “I once was with a circus,” cried Puss. And then he slid down the rope and turned a somersault on the ground. And just then the little boys came in the gate and how they did laugh 1 And Jimmy gave Puss all the marble* which he had won, and his father, who had been sitting on the porch watching the fun, gave a dollar. After that, they all went In for lunch and Puss didn’t start out on his Journey until lata in the afternoom—Copyrlght, 1222, (To Be
