YANKEE TOURIST FINDS EUROPEAN ■ TUIYELUKI Customs Changed, Writer Finds Self Bewildered in Maze of ‘Red Tape.' POLICE STATIONS BUSY Altered Travel Requirements Cause Frequent Visits to Embassies.

BY EDNA FERBER, Noted Short Story Wrtier, Author of “The Girls.” (Copyright, 1922, by United News.) CARLSBAD. July 24. The average respectable American family touring Europe for two or three months has actually spent more time In police stations this summer than Gyp the Elood ever did in his most sanguinary days. Also the tour, j ist’s bed-time conversation with the j rather harassed looking kimono who j ia washing out silk stockings in the j wash howl and pasting handkerchiefs j expertly on the mirror is pretty sure I to run after this fashion: "Now listen. Belle. I’ve got to go over to the Czecho-Slovakian consul's j first thing in the morning, because if i I don’t get there early, the place'll! so jammed I'l have to stick al! day. Carlsbad used to be in Bohemia, but now it's Czecho-Slovakian. and you have to have a separate visa. I’ll try’ to be back by Eleven, and you be here, won't you, so that we can j go over to the police and report that we're leaving tomorrow. “And. by’ the way’, you’d better tell Ed that he’s got to go to the police ! station some time tomorrow. lie’s ; been here twenty-four hours and next j thing he knows they’ll shoot him at) sunrise or something. Time was. But not now. Touristing for pleasure in this, the most j gorgeously’ interesting and terrible ! period of the world's history'- is a grim and racking business. To do it successfully you must have at least n fair working knowledge of -higher mathematics (including calculusi. of engineering, international law. foreign i exchange, world politics, geography, weather forecasting, dietetics and I plain and fancy* laundering. Everything in Europe, from Us to- i pography to Us soap, has changed, I not excluding its coffee, manners, forms of government, public vehicles, and attitude toward tourists. For that matter, even the tourist himself has changed. He used to be largely American—now he's Dutch j and Swedish and Russian in vast num- ! bers. He used to be> careful and pleasure seeking. Now he’s careworn, and busier than a prime minister. Legion Notes I Because it represents the defenders w oi right and justice, the American ! Legion was asked to lay the corner stone of the Eapillion (Neb.l courthouse, which will cost a half-million dollars. “There will he no adjournment of Congress until the soldiers compensation bill has been made a law. It will be taken up and disposed of under a special agreement as soon as the tariff bill is passed,” says a statement made by Senator McCumber of North Dakota, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, to Mrs. H. R. Smith of Whitman. Mass. Mrs. Smith, accompanied by scores of American Legionaires and twenty wounded veterans from the Walter Reed Hospital, carried a petition bearing a million sig natures to Congress, urging the passage of the Sill. More than 100,000 former soldiers •will attend the New York State Amercan Legion convention and soldier reunion to be held in Syracuse, accord- i lr.g to Theodore Roosevelt, assistant j secretary of the Navy* and chairman; of the convention and reunion com- i mittees. General Pershing, Admiral Sims and Admiral Wilson will be among the guests of h<jnor. The Pinedale (Wyo.) American Legon baseball team has its nine regu iars and three bench warmers from twelve different States of the Union. the team takes to the road it P'loes not travel in Pullmans, for the very good reason that Pinedale is 106 miles from the nearest railroad. A. H. O. Fokker, whose airplanes i were us* 1 extensively by the Germans j during the war. has come to America j and is now cooperating with the American naval designers, according to American Legion information. Experiments in which Fokker is taking an active part are being made at the j Government aviation station at Ana-i costia, D. C. The membership rolls of the London! post of the American Legion show that it has members in twenty-five countries, including ex-service men in, such places as Java, China, Egypt, Turkey and British East Africa. So many ex-service men in Ohio applied for compensation under the State law that the original appropriation fund was exhausted. In order all vet- j erans might receive the payments due them, the American Legion urged Governor Harry L. Davis to call a special session of the Legislature to enact the necessary legislation for ad- : •litional funds. "The former service men of Amer- j lea. represented by the American Le- ' giom have a deep regard in their hearts for France —for there exists between our two great republics the, strongest of all bonds, those between j men who have fought side by side j ..against a common enemy, and the f, -of your wonderful painting, 'Amer | ica.’ to the American Legion has j welded those bonds even stronger,” j ■wrote Hanford MarNJder. national j commander of the legion, in a letter of appreciation to Leon Reni-Mel, painter of the French picture which has just been presented by the French government to the American Legion, j The painting ia now on exhibition in an Indianapolis art institute and will j be placed at legion headquarters some uma tn the near future.

Old Straw Hats Are Good to Make Pretty Baskets G "Jk -CY| ’*’• *’* fi ° 9

By DAST BF.AHD. National Scout Commissioner. One of the prettiest of baskets is Fig. 1 and It is very easy to make. In most families some member has a discarded wide-brimmed straw hat which you can t transform into an attractive basket. Reeds, willow or rattan, are all good materials for handles, soak three lengths of rattan, or whatever you intend using, until softened, and easy to bend. Have the rattan long BEARD. enough to form a high braided handle and admit of the loose rattan at each end of the braided rattan at the handle proper being woven in across each side of the brim and down into and across the crown. The hat must also be sufficiently I damp to allow the handle to cross it and to prevent the straw from break- I ing. Tie the three lengths of the rattan j | together where the braided handle i begins and braid the straw, again

maintain our Navy on the same relative footing with England and Japan. Wat riling Flans of Japan Naval officials are watching with interest the naval plans In Japan as a result of her expressed intention of building additional cruisers, submarines and destroyers. While there is/ no disposition to question the sincerity of Japan, there are certain phases on this pokey that should have a direct bearing on our future plans. America Out of Running I In the matter of cruisers the Amerilean Navy is out of the running in competition with England and Japan, I having none now and only ten building, while Japan lias seventeen built or contracted for and England forty--1 five. Even under her modified program, as outlined recently by Baron Kato, Japan will have a submarine ratio jwith us as of four to five instead of ; the proposed conference ratio of three to five. In addition she will have the advantage of mo-e modern boats of unknown tonnage, some of them presumably of larger size than ours.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“Enter, the Flapper”

Begrin today this modern Romance of wild youth dancing through passion's flame. BY ZOE BECKLEY. Os course, nowadays the ClovenHoofed Breeder of Mischief doesn't have to hunt us. Our fast generation hunts him. But if Old Harry were still on liis old-fashioned hunt, he would pick just such a night as this, with Peggy Dean’s mind wandering from her examination-cram to the telephone. Deep June, warm and languid, with an enormous, lazy moon flooding the world with blue-silver, brooded temptation to every one indoors. Fourteen stories below, along Riverside drive, sounded musically the call of

gliding motor cars. The dark Hudson was set with jewel lights of river craft. From a smart restaurant, not far off, perched in its green park upon a knoll, whispers of dance music drifted to Peggy's senses. But under her piquantly tipped nose Gummet's Geometry demanded that she give it her entire mind. If she didn't tomorrow's exams for her senior class would fare badly. But how easy it would be to turn the evening from a bore to something happy and tingling! Mother was off to a dance at the Yacht Club with her brother and his wife, with whom the Deans lived. Peg's dad was dead. The only person left In the big apartment were two maids and Winnie, her cousin. Win, deep in her Geom, was cramming for the same examination. Small, quiet and homey was Winnie —like a wren against oriole Peggy.: Winnie wore sensible clot hes. Peggy j wore sporty ones. Winnie yawned for ; bed at half-past 10, at about which, time Peggy yearned for Jazz. Win's J latest expression was years old. Peg j had already discarded "llnale-hopper,' ] I “neckor" and “cake eater” as six : ] months old. and whiskery. Winnie choked on tobacco-smoke, j
