RHIVR ///->*ATAS is not yet done with Europe!” TO THE This warning from Lloyd George glows WABASH " Rke a P iilar fife-in thè sky as thè London cables teli us thè coni'erence of allied premiers has broken down over thè question of German reparations. There ean be no doubt that Europe today faces thè gravest danger sinee thè armistiee > . Postponement of thè London eonterence until Jan. 2, at Paris, merely prevented immediate disas* r, like thè opiate thè doctor administers to a patient already in *. >nvulsion. “America and Britain, standing together, alone ean avert thè catastrophe,” says thè former British premier in thè first. of a series of articles he will write for thè Indianapolis Times. Just before he left America for home, Georges Clemenceau. too, over and over again. repeated thè warning that onlv America ean save Europe from another war, and that if there is another war, we will be in it. Speaking against one another, accusing one another, theso two wartime premiers of Britain and France emphaticallv agree on at least two things: One, that only America ean prevent war, and thè other, that unless she does, she will be drawn in. “It is a far crv from thè Rhine to thè Mississippi,” says Lloyd George, “but theVe are now graves not far from thè Rhine wlurein lies thè dust of men who less than a year ago carne from thè banks of thè Mississippi.” With equal trnth he might have said thè Wabash. What a chance for reai courage and reai statesmanship ! President Roosevelt, in 1905, took thè initiative in stoppine thè Russian-Japanese war, which affected us not in thè least. Ile did it for thè sake of world peace to which we are committed. Europe today is on thè verge of a cataclvsm so far outdoing thè Russian-Japanese war in horror that no comparison ckn be offered. And all concerned .are holding out their hands beseechinp thè United States to save them. Tet Washington refuses to lift its little fìnger in aid. V What a chance to step in. take thè initiative in a constructivc peace program, sa te thè world and ourselves from undreampt-of terrors, and at thè same time win thè love, admiration and leu 1ership of all mankind! * But that takes courage. And there seems to be none in Washington. • * PUT ON T ITII number of motor car accideuts MORE iA / mounting appallingly, it is only naturai BRAKES Y Y that thè country at large should be des* perately interested in measures for thè eonservation of lise. Armored safetv zones, as suggested by Coroner Robinson, would help materially in reducing thè number of accidents. Progress and thè increasing premium put upon speed deraand that some method of controlling cars at higher rates of speed be put into efiect. One such method is thè use of four-wheel brakes, which reduce thè space required to stop approximatelv one-half and obviate thè possibilitv of skidding. Several makes of cars are now equipped with them, but they are cars out of thè reach of thè average buyer. Possibly in thè near future all cars will be required to be so equipped, or travel at greatly reduced speed. The cost is not excessive, and thè safety afforded more than worth it. AND WE, ERMAX prices by thè end of thè year will be TOO. TALK | at least 2,000 times higher than before thè INFLATION \J war. If we had thè same situation : A suit of ctothes that cost $25 before thè war would now be selling for $50.000. An4 a house that used to rent for S4O would now bring thè landlord SBO.OOO a month. It’d be great sport, spending so much money—for a short time. But how would you like thè job of trving to make your income rise as fast as cost of living, using German financial arithmetie?

A woman may buy a lamp shade or a stew pan with discretlon and an eye to economy but when .it Comes to buying hats Bhe throws economy to thè winds. Her one question in buying a hat is, “Is it becoming?” and in getting a hat that is becoming she will, if need be, use thè old preserving kettle another season and forego a vacuum cleaner. Women buy hats for all kinds of reasons. I know one lonelv rfch woman who buys two or three hats a week just because she loves to bear thè salesgiyls teli her how lovely she looks. By CLARA KL'MMER.

MARY ROCHESTER By MARY ROCHESTER, Assistant in Adjustments Department at a Big New York Store. Women spend money Judiciously. Though our department yearly handles thousands of claims thè percentage of unreasonable adjustments caused by women repentlng of their purchases is extremely sm all. It is impossible' to balance thè purchasing ability of women against that of men because thè things \jjpmen buy are fragile. The style of their clothing, for lnstance. changes constantly. Men have not so much leeway—their chances for dissatisfaction are less. But women do know how to spend money!

Opposition also Comes from Representatives and Senatore, largely from thè West and South, regardless of their party afflliations, who are bitter against Governor Harding, claiming that his policy of defiation has bAught near-ruin to thè farmers of thè West and thè cotton planters of thè South. This opposition teli thè President that Governor Harding's defiation policy has been cornpletely in accord with that of International bankers in Wall Street. , Up to this time Secretary Mellon, because of his great influence with thè President in financial matterà, haa been able to prevent thè appointment of any other person.
