For thou Lord hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in thè works of thy hands. Psalms 92:4. “Papa” Ernestinoff TX praise of “Papa” Alexander Ernestinoff it JL/it should be said that he accomplished big xrimgs in a musical way for Indianapolis. For mfty years he labored in America and he made our country' a better place to live in through his musical efforts. And he lived to see his work appreciated in a measure. Little more than a week before his death, a concert was given as an expression of thè city’s appreciation of “Papa" Ernestinoff and thè things he had done for Indianapolis. He was too ili to attenutile concert, but he must have died happily in thè knowledge that he would be remembered affectionately by an appreeiative public. Woman's Field Today TIME orders great changes. Fifty years ago woman’s clubs used embroidery work, or at best a little sewing for thè foreign missions, as their excuse for being, and occupied their meetnigs gossiping about thè latest scandal. Now their motives for organizing need no excuse. The days when their homes or their neighbors homes were their only interest have gone forever for women. Their field of endeavor has broadened to include every sort of sincere work. Today Indianapolis will sqe thè incoming of hundreds of club women, representing philanthropic, literary, artistic, musical, civic, historical, dramatic, business, politicai, in fact every known woman's organization. They are coming to attend thè annual State convention of thè Indiana Federation of Woman’s Clubs', which opens its three-day session today. Hundreds of clubs are affiliated with thè federation so that thousands of women are members. They’ comprise a tremendous force in thè physical, intellectual and moral weifare of our State. Indianapolis weleomes this convention and will watch with interest thè plans it forinulates for thè coming year, knowing that thè stand it takes on thè questions of thè day will typify thè attitude of women in every city in thè State and will have a far-reaching iniluence in every corner of Indiana. War’s Brighter Side WAES, of qourse, are to be deplored. There is nothing to be said in their defense. Oecasionally, however, there occurs some incident which in a minor way' sheds a bright spot on an otherwise somber background. Such was thè incident of a meeting here Sunday of two men who had not been together since they served in thè Iìoer war twentv-two years ago. A blind veteran recognized thè voice of a buddy, although he had not heard thè voice in all that time. What else besides thè enduring together of thè hardships of war would result in such a friendship and such a memorv? Ungagged Kansas THE only thing that would impair free speech in Kansas is an epidemie of lockjaw. Governor Henry J. Alien of that State declared on his arrivai in Indianapolis.

A.—lt derived this name from thè fact that thè Virginia freestone of whlch it is built was painted white to conceal thè diseoloration caused by weather and smoke. The building was burned by thè British during thè war of 1812. Q. —What-was thè attitude of Great Brltain toward thè confederacv? A. —Accordine: to thè historian, Rhodes, "four-fifths of thè British house of lords and most of thè members of thè house of commons were favorable to thè confederacv and anxicus for its triumph.” Had it not bc-en for their ext,*eme camion they would have recognized thè independence of thè confederacy in 1862. But Federai victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg and thè adviee of Engllsh friends in thè States prevented this. However, both England and Franca proclaimed neutraiity and accepted thè confederates as “belligerents.” The British ministry, with indifference if not connivance, permitted rama and sh;ps to be built in British docks and swallowed them to escape under thè confederate flag. One of them was thè Alabama, built in Liverpool, by thè Biitish government. In 1872, Great Britain was requi red to pay a sum of $15.500.000 to cover thè damage wrought by thè confederate cruisers fitteed out in England. Q. —What is thè description of thè flag of thè Philippines? A.—lt has four colora—red. white. blue and gold. The blue is at thè top and thè red as at thè lower side. At thè staff end of thè flag is a large white triangle. Within thè triangle ere three stara of gold, one in each • orner. and a sun in thè center. The .vfcite triangle stands for "peaceful universa! brotherhood.” The three stara represent thè three groups of islands in thè Philippines, Luzon. Visayan and Mindanac. The sun in thè center of thè triangle symbolizes thè Orient. The eight rays of thè

If he could convince some of our Federai officials it is impossible for them to bring about an epidemie of lockjaw in Kansas or any other State, he woidd have done thè said officials a Service. In Shpport of Govwnor Alien’s assertion eoncerning Kansas, it might be added that Mayor Shank is now speaking in that State. Multiple Listing ADECISION will be reached by thè Indianapo - lis Reai Estate Board tomorrow as to whether “multiple lifting” shall be adopted in Indianapolis. Over seventv-five cities in thè country alreadv have adopted thè seheme. Under ,this System property put up for sale is listed with every member of thè board. Service to thè buying and selling public is thè keynote of thè sy’stem. The persoti selling property has at his Service all thè realtors. The person buy'ing property’ can see thè listings of all agents by visiting one realtor. For thè roaltor thè svstem eliminates wasting tiiue with shoppers. Tlte Reai Estate Board is interested in stabilizing values and is continuously trying to improve Indianapolis. If tlte majority of Indianapolis realtors feci that multiple listing will aid in fioing those two things Indianapolis will tomorrow fall in line with thè cities alreadv using thè multiple listing svstem. Bonar Law TIIE reaction of Englishmen to thè change in thè British ministry indicates that Great Britain believes thè time has come to stop progressing in international affairs and to start conserving. That is why Lloyd George, thè jtrogressive. is making way for Bonar Law, thè conservative. In domestic matters, Lloyd George’s policies since thè war have been the policies of his conservative associates who have now broken with him. The coalition, in this respect, has spoken with a united voice, and Bonar Law has been among thè foreinost in thè chorus. But, in international negotiations, as eonducted lately, thè personalities and idiosynerasies of thè individuai negotiators have played more important parts than thè formai policies themselves. Lloyd George’s well-known characteristi s have gotten on thè nerves of thè French. It is doubtful whether certain French statesmen could now discuss even thè must innocent international matter with Lloyd George without instinctively wishing to take thè ópposite side. The fact that morally and logically Lloyd George has been right in his policies has but added to these statesmen’s grievances. It would seem they* have almost reached thè unreasoning pesition where they would rather he wrong than be with Lloyd George. Bonar Law has a different temperament. Ile is soft spoken and has a velvet glove over his iron hand. If thè French trv to argue with him, he is less likely to debate than to withdraw io England and invite Franco to show what she can do alone. This is not unattended with dan ger to Europe, but if it does not kill it nmy cure. So Bonar Law’s strength will be coneealed and France and Great Britain may become reconciled.

The design is said to have been conceived at a dinner given by United States Consul General Pratt at Singapore in honor of General Aguinaldo and his companions, at thè lnstance of Mr. Pratt’s display and lnterpretation of thè American flag. Q —When were thè north and south poles discovered? A.—The Peary expedltion reached thè north pole Aprii 6, 1909. Amundsen reached thè south pole Dee. 14, 1911. Q. —How long ago did thè custom of shaving originate? A.—lt is not certain when shaving originated, but certainly early primitive men invented knives Sharp enough to use frir thè purpose. Ther are many references to shaving in thè Bible, and thè Greeks, that is thè Spartans, were accustomed to thè use of thè razor; thè Romans were generally shaved. Q —Where is Aix-la-Chapelle and of what natlonality are its inhabitants? A. —It is situated in thè Uliine province of Prussia, dose to thè Dutch and Belgian frontier. The citizens are of German natlonality. Q. —When was Louvain, Belgium, destroycd? A. —The city and thè famous University of Louvain, with its priceless library, were sacked and burned by thè German armies in August. 1914, at thè outbreak of thè European war. Q. —Since man is endowed with thè gift of speech, if a man had been reared under such circumstances that he never heard spoken language, could he stili speak himself? A. —Man is endowed with thè gift of speech but if he never heard a language spoken, and since thè speaking of any language Is an acquisition and not a gift, he would not be capable of speaking any “language,” but through thè power of speech would produce siniply sounds of thè voice without any effort to fona anything beyond a sound.

TEAPOT DOME SCANDAL 11 ■ COITO LIGHT Friends of Fair Play in Congress Hope to Force Action on Oil Lease. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 —Of all tlie scandals of thè Harding Administration thus far, that involving thè lease of Teapot Dome naval oil reserves in Wyoming to thè Mammoth Oil Company bids fair to be thè most persistent. When, in thè middle of thè last session of Congress, thè investlgation of thè action of Secretary of thè Interior Albert Fall was commenced by Senators La Follette and Kendrick, it was thought all thè truth would come out at once. But something happened and, thè inquisition was sidetracked. Hope for Action Now friends of fair play in Congress and out are hoping that La Follette, with thè prestige of his tremendous election majority, will be abla to force action. The Teapot Dome, probably thè richest of all thè naval reserve oli flelds, having been leased to thè Sinclair Company by Secretary Fall, passed lnto thè control of thè Mammoth Oil Company, a subsidiary of thè Sinclair people. who are in tum subsidiariea of thè Standard. And In 300 daily newspapers of thè country appear great advertisements announcing that thè company has leased 9,320 acres, known as “naval petroleum reserva No. 3, in Wyoming.” 20,000-Barrel Wells The announcement States that wells flowing 10,000 to 20,000 barrels tha day are being brought In from a depth of 1,500 feet, that thè Salt Creek field, of which this is a part, is now capable of producing 150,000 barrels per day from existlng wells. A great pipe line is to be bullt and to Crown ail, a limited number of thè 2,005,000 shares is now being offered to thè public. These shares, of no par value, wera thrown on thè curb market of New York Mondar, Oct. 9. That sanie aftemoon thè shares which had opened ut 39 jumped to 43 and thè next day to 45. At 45 thè outstanding shares of this one. corporation, having merely a lease on Teapot Dome —they don’t own it. mind you—are worth on thè market thè not Inconsiderabie sum of J 90.000.000! There are those in Washington who intend to keep their eyes on Teapot Dome.
