If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in love; even as I have kept my father’s commandments, and abide in his love.— John 15:10. Passing of the Wicked Wiggle FLAPPERISM is going out. That is-becoming apparent to any observant person who saunters along Washington street. But we do not mean that the flapper is going. She always has been and will continue to be in our midst. However, the older girl—the neglected wallflower who never bared her knees to the breezes of the shopping district—is again to be sought. These two years have been lean years for that unclassified female between the age of 25 and 30. When flapperism first began to be knocked, and consequently known, she was puzzled what to do. The vast majority of her kind settled the problem by following the popular formula of tweeds and “roll your own.” But wearing flapper clothes and being a flapper were two different things, as she soon found out. She was bewildered by an unknown vocabulary—snake’s lij|>s, bee’s knees, darbs—and the like. If she went on parties she had to pet. If she didn’t pet she didn’t go. If she petted and went on parties, dancing parties, she had to have the flapper jag. But she didn’t have the pep. She didn’t have the energy simultaneously # to c\o the latest wicked wiggle, moan with the saxophone, keep the wriggley rhythm and string ’em along. So she started staying home evenings and going out occasionally to the movies with some unfortunate friend who hadn’t been able to make the kick. There are those who will tell you that the exit of flapperism from Indianapolis is due to the return of the long skirt. Up in Michigan they have even formed a club “to keep ’em short.’' But it is not a question of the length of the skirt, or the receding limb; it is a matter of decision that reaches forward and forces the flapper to the rear of the stage. The decision is given by seventeen authorities who declare that 32 is the age at which women reach the topnotch of the beauty scale; several of these deny that beauty exists at all in a woman under 25. And a canvass of recent novels discloses that 28 is the average age of the heroine today. D. 'W. Griffith, Morris Gest, Gutson Borglum, Augustus Thomas and Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., are among these authorities. The rest are prominent authors, painters, sculptors and play producers. So the flapper will flap back to her childhood position—of being seen and not so deafeninglv heard as she has been in our downtown business district. And the neglected, trampled on female woman will come again into her own. A New Art for Indiana (i T) IG-IGGY WIG-Y! How’s the curl in your tail this morning? L Shucks, a little too much to the southeast. Darn it, I’m a failure as an artist. Might as well give up and go into some other business.” This is what you’re likely to hear around the shack of a hog raiser either now or in the near future. For, according to Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, swine-growers are artists, “whose materials are not theVolors and brushes and canvas of the painter, but living flesh and blood, molded and shaped in conformity with the divine laws of heredity.” In Indiana, one of the largest hog-producing States, farms may soon be out of date and pig ateliers and liog studios the thing instead. And we are heartily in favor of it. May the day of glorification of pig-growing be hastened—when all farming, in fact, is put upon a plane with the other useful arts. “Working with unseen forces,” said Wallace to the National Swine Growers’ Association over at Peoria, “you finally produce in living form the ideal which your brain conceived. You give to the unborn animal the color and form and size, and shape of nose, and pitch of the ear, and curl of the tail, which satisfies your sense of the beautiful as well as of the useful.” Bootleg Boodlers REPEAL of, or amendment to, the prohibition law is becoming more difficult. This is due to the growth of the bootlegging interests. f Bootlegging is becoming an industry. It is becoming daily more organized and controlled. The profits of bootlegging are almost fabulous. Organized bootlegging is already a vested interest. Prohibition as a sentiment, a belief and a political force was strong before the bootlegging interest joined it. Prohibition plus bootlegging becomes almost invulnerable. We are not discussing its merits or demerits in this editorial. Prohibition may be a good or a bad thing. It might be a good or a bad thing to exempt beer and light wines. What we are trying to make clear is the fact that prohibition as a political and social fact is taking on a permanence owing to bootlegging which is perhaps unsuspected by many. Columns could be written and have been written about the extent to which bootlegging is practiced. Yet the story has not be*® half told. What must be borne in mind is the fact that howler lawless the practices may be, rum running and illicit distilling have become widespread, profitable businesses. In some sections now the law officers are in telephonic communication with the moonshiners, and in place of the old-time -theatrical raid in the mountains a telephone summons brings the moonshiner into town to pay his agreed fine. Communities are deriving revenue from the breaking of liquor laws. Smuggling is financed and controlled by more or less exclusive million-dollar rings. So we see the startling spectacle of the conscientious social reformer and the conscienceless outlaw joining hands to perpetuate a condition the chief feature of which is a recognized and permanent flouting of law and government.

PAYS BILL IN PENNIES Woman Sends 42,000 Coppers to Taxicab Company. GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 10.—A wealthy woman residing in a fashionable section of Greenwich moved to her winter home in New York City last week leaving a bill of $420 owing the Greenwich Cab Company for taxicab fares. A representative of the company had visited her estate

here on two occasions in an effort to collect the bill before she left, but was unsuccessful. Yesterday the wamon sent a taxicab from New York to the cab company’s office here with a large keg containing 42,000 one-cent pieces. With it she sent $1 to pay for the taxi that had made the two trips te her home here for the purpose of collecting the money, and her photograph, under which was written “O la la.”

WOMAN'S PARTY IS IMM NATIONAL BODY Membership Does Not Interfere With Allegiance of Democrats or Republicans. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. “But what I want to know is, does joining the National Woman’s party interfere with allegience to any one of the existing parties to which a woman may belong?" This question I heard put to a representative of the woman’s party. ' I also heard the answer: “No. indeed, we are merely working for women’s interests. Being a member of the woman's party does not mean at all that you cannot continue to be a Democrat or a, Republican.” TSays Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, president of the National Woman’s party, i In an article entitled: “Women as Dictators.” “We mean to plant the Idea of independence In the mind of every woman. Our party will be a woman’s party and a woman’s party only. /It will have no members, no officers, no employes, who are not women. • • * Personally I think it would be far better for women to stay out of all parties j anti away from all elections if they | can find no other medium of expres- j sion than the existing decrepit man i ( dominated parties.

ANTI-FOREIGN FEELING IN CHINA MENACES RAILWAY SYSTEMS

By RAY G. MARSHALL United Press Staff Correspondent PEKIN, Oct. 10.—(By mail to United Press) —Anti-foreign feeling is growing again in China—not rapidly but steadily and noticeably. The (growth is being carefully watched by all foreign elements as well as by a number of Chinese who are convinced that China will shortly have to call on the foreigner for help. The antl-foreign campaign grew out of the so-called anti-Christian campaign last winter. That movement began while the Washington conference was in session. It subsided quickly when Chang Tso-lin soldiers menaced the northern cities, for about the only refuges open to the Chinese were the missionary compounds. It lias cropped out again.

OHIO HU OUTLINES PARTY'S POLITICAL DOPES Senator Pat Harrison Discloses Attitude on Moot Question at.lssue. By ROBERT J. BEXDER United -Vnr* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The begin I ning of the final dri\ e by the major j parties to win this year’s congressional elections finds the leaders of both parties frankly admitting a lack of outstanding Issues. From Ohio, where the elections are [ of prime interest because it Is Presi- j dent Harding's home State, comes the frank utterance of a Democrat on the basis of democratic hopes this year. In conversation with the writer re-! cently In Lima, Ohio, Vic Donahey, Democratic candidate for Governor j against Carmi Thompson, intimate I friend of President Harding, outlined i , the Democratic situation thus: | “There is a natural trend this year ! against the party in power. The j | Democratic party being the only out- j : let for votes of protest, will get hun- j i dreds of thousands of vojes cast for the Republican candidates in 1920.’’ Sums I'p Situation That, briefly, sums up the political: situation. The end of the primary elections finds some Republican can- j didates repudiating the acts of their , I party, while, at the same time, ntim- i hers of Democratic candidates are' seeking re-election on the basis of j •*4 -fSS- \ . ' SENATOR PAT ILVRRISON support of Republican acts, among j them the tariff bill. With Republicans j j as well as Democrats supporting and | denouncing the Administration on the i prime issues of the campaign such Is- | sues are nullified. Vic Donahey the Democratic guber-1 ; ntoorial candate, about whom parti-1 | cular centers because he is opposing a j personal friend of Harding -and if I elected, will be held up by his party | as a symbol of disapproval of tho pres- j ent White House tenant and all his | works, analyzes the situation In this way. Trend Towards Democrats. “The Democrats this year should realize that tho trend is In their favor | end make no effort to antagonize tho | republican voters who are anxious to cast a vote in repudiation of their i party's policies. If there is any issue I this year it is the Issue of economizing, as wo are asking the world to economize—go without unnecessary luxuries in government as individuals are going without to meet their bills during the readjustment. It Is tho issue raised to a national basis that prompts mo to ride In a flivver when I would prefer to buy a more expensive car. In the long run It is the issue which moans more or less taxes.’’ Senator Pat Harrison disclosed the party's attitude on the following Moot questions: 1. Immediate repeal of the Mc-Cumber-Fordney tariff act and enact j ment of such changes in the Underwood tariff act as changed conditions of the time warrant. 2. Legislation providing “Justice to the American Soldier” after veto of the bonus bill. 3. Establishment of an American Merchant Marine without the aid of a subsidy. 4. Elimination of “Newberryism," readjustment of taxes and establishment of closer International relationships and cooperation between the United States and the rest of the world. BUSYNESS By BERTOX BRALET YOU say you are “Awfully busy,” You look it, there isn't a doubt. You move at a pace that is dizzy. But what are you busy about? Just pause in your striving: and straining And cease, for a bit, to gyrate: And spend a few moments explaining What you have accomplished, to date I ' HOW much of your vira energetic Is wisely and sanely applied? How much is mere hustle frenetic? T leave it for you to decide. How much of this split-second hurry Is getting you honor or pelf. How much of it's bustle and flurry With which you are kidding yourself? IT’S seldom indeed that hard work kills; But many men get below par While running round swiftly in circles. Exclaiming how busy they are! How much of your strength is expended In mere wasteful effort, old scout? You say you are busy—that’s splendid. But what are you busy about? (Copyright, 1922.

The Peking-Sulyuan railroad is practically out of operation because officials and employes alike have declared the road to be independent of the government. The action was antiforeign. An American company last year sold the road 600 freight cars, but when time came for delivery, the road had no money. The Americans proposed that a special accountant be named to keep a record of the American cars, and that the road pay for the cars out of their earnings. A cry at once arose. “The Americans are trying to steal our railroad,” said the employes. “Down with the foreigners.’ The employes en masse called on the minister of communications, threatening him with a general strike if he yielded to the Americans.

American Legion Will Demand Removal of Brig. Gen. C.E.Sawyer as Hospital Head

By XEA Service SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 10.—Washington State delegates to the national American Legion convention in New Orleans will center their principal efforts on seeking removal of Brig. Gen. C. E.

Deiay Is Protested The delegation will also protest against the delay in providing hospitalization for disabled veterans as contemplated In the Langley bill —for which delay General Sawyer is blamed —and urging the general to “step , aside and permit the Nation to care for its wounded heroes."

American Methods and Customs Now Established in Argentine

It is evident in every class economic penetration, cultural penetration, legal, industrial in methods, in customs, in everything, even to the vices. In the economic order of the republic many great banking institutions and many important American firms are definitely established. Five or six years ago there was not a single branch of an American bank here, and very few firms were allAmerican. All the newspapers now carry large ads of products of the United States. The merchants talk of American commercial methods, and when they want to tell an employe to accelerate his activities, they advise him to he more "Yankee,” to think rapidly and work quickly, to lose no time.

The Chinese want to do their own teaching In English, French and German and in sciences. On the streets and quite frequently In business, the foreigner feels the growth of anti-foreign sentiment.

AMERICA WILL IE REPRESENTED ATLEAGUEMEET J* Spokesmen of Labor Will Attend International Conference at Genoa. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—When the 1 League of Nations assembles over at Geneva toward the end of this month, America will be there, after all. Not in the regular way, by diplomats in high top hats, but by spokesmen of those who carry lunch pails to work with them. The most direct connection between this aloof country and the League of Nations will be the representatives of labor at the International Labor Confeernce, a branch of the League of Nations. ! Although the United States refused j to enter the league, several representaI tives of American labor will partici- | pate In the deliberations of the Labor I Conference. I Perhaps the most direct represent- \ ative is Ernest Greenwood. American | representative of the International Labor Office, with headquarters in | Washington. Before he left for Ge- ! neva, Greenwood spent much time I with Samuel Gompers, outlining the ! position of organized American labor ;on questions pending before the i league. i Royal Meeker, formerly in the Department of Labor here, Is an American representative employed permanently at the Intemationai Labor Office in Genex-a. The United States Chamber of Com--1 merce regards the coming conference of sufficient importance to send a special representative to watch the labor | end of it. It is a curious coincidence that while the “unofficial observer” of the American State Department must avoid any display of his activities or purposes at Geneva, and work from up a side street, as it were, the American labor representatives can walk right up to the front door and have ; their say. HYSTERICS By DR. R. B. BISBOP W W rsTERICS some- •;? times is applied to mere tantrums, or B B “cutting-up.” This. H however, should TANARUS, H not be confused 1 with genuine hysi terics. One may be M punished properly for a fit of temper, but no one should be punished in any way for hysterics. Crude measures, such as a dash of cold water in the face, will have no effect on hysteria. Hysteria generally is brought on by emotional excitement or overwork, (specially nervous or mental work. Some idea controls the body for the time being. In a great many cases, the controlling idea is one that was implanted on the subconscious n-ind in early life by some fright or otnor unpleasant emotional experience. ’Che experience has been forgotten, yet the impression remains. Certain circumstances bring up this suppressed idea and give it temporary control over the mind, though the patient is unaware of it. A person suffering from hysterics appear very melodramatic. In many cases there is downright delirium. A physician sometimes may trace this repressed idea and show the sufferer its'influence, restoring complete self control. Sometimes hysterics stimulates the epileptic fit, though the hysterical woman will not bite her tongue or rail so as to hurt herself. More likely she j will, fall in a graceful attitude and | should not receive sympathy from : friends. That only aggravates it. Bet- ! ter to show no concern at all. Rest works wonders in most cases. In others. the hygienic life will lead to a cure. UNUSUAL FOLK By XEA Service SAN RAFAEL, Cal., Oct 10.—The West has chosen a millionaire's son to set an example for neckless drivers and speeders.
