YANKEE COMFORT STRIKES ENGLISH WOMANNOVELIST ‘I Was Not Prepared for Such Diffused Wealth,' Says Miss West. By RUBY WEIL A vibrant, very feminine young woman stretched out her foot in a comfortable house-slipper, tried to smooth her stubborn bobbed hair, and discussed literature, America, politics, people, and—shampoos, all with equal intelligence and humor. She was Miss Rebecca West, English novelist, author of "The Judge” and “The Return of the Soldier,” resting in her room at the Severin, after a long trip from Minneapolis. Miss West will speak at 8:15 tonight before the Contemporary Club at the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter Hall of the D. A. R., 824 N. Pennsylvania St. Her subject is "A Woman's View of Life’s Problems.” Breath-Taking Visit After three weeks in America, Miss West is catching her breath and taking stock. "Your extraordinary comfort strikes me,” she said. "I was not prepared for such diffused wealth.” "I want to stay in America a year—if I can afford it. It costs an awful lot, you know. I shall stop lecturing in about three weeks, and just wander about the country.” Miss West will leave Indianapolis Friday morning for St. Louis. She spent six days in Chicago and intends to return. She met Meredith Nicholson there. Booth “Delightful” Miss West spoke of Booth Tarkington as "delightful.” and said she treasures a copy of his "Seventeen.” Turning to politics, she said: “Lloyd George is almost certain to become premier again. His compromise with Asquith surprised me. I suppose Asquith saw it was the only way he could save himself. "The labor party would not have Lloyd George, because he compromises. Labor leaders are afraid of compromises.”

MAYOR AMONG 20 OFFICIALS CITED IN STATE CHARGES Valparaiso, Porter County Men Included in Board's Report. - Charges against more than a score of Porter county and Valparaiso off! eials, involving more than $24,000 are alleged in a report of field examiners of the State board of accounts, made public today. A $12,630.71 charge is made against the Indiana Asphalt Company with which the county had a contract. The , report held the contract Illegal. Exminers found the company made a 4.961.45 profit.

GARAGE ON CIRCLE IS HALTED BY OFFICIALS Permission for construction of a sixstory commercial garage on the Circle must be given by the courts over protests of the city plan commission and the board of works, it was indicated today. Charles Coffin, president of the ix>ard of works, said the Test heirs who were planning the garage would he denied permission to cut the sidewalk for a motor entrance to a garage on the present site of the Bates Hotel. At the same time, the city building commissions ordered the building permit cancelled. A petition signed by adjacent property owners and addressed to the works board, building commissioner and city plan commission points out that the proposed garage would congest traffic, endanger public safety and would not be in keeping with the dignity of business surrounding the Monument.
