DEMOCRATS TRY
TO KEEP INTACT
WOMAN RANKS
City Chairman, Instead of Re
plying to Miss Landers, Ap
parently Asks Support.
City leader* of the Democratic party—
that i* leaders of the male persuasion—
were join* their best today to keep the
feomes leaders from getting into a note
writing contest such as the Republicans
have been indulging in for several weeks
with disastrous results to party har
mony.
The efforts at pacification resulted from
the latest more of Miss Julia E. Landers,
chairman of the Seventh District Wom
en’s Club, who has rushed into print
with a column long attack upon Thomas
D. Meeketr, city chairman, because he has
refused to provide for a separate women's
organization and has placed Mrs. Grace
Jackson Bodenmiller, regarded unfavor
ably by Miss Landers, in the position of
women’s organizer at city headquarters.
Some success is attending the attempt
to quell the threatened verbal riot for
Mr. Meeker had very little to say in re
ply to Miss Landers’ onslaught.
"We want Miss Landers to work
with us,’’ was about all he had to say
for publication.
REAL VIEWS
IX PRIVATE.
It is understood, that Mr. Meeker has
much more to say in privfte, such as,
that he is through with Miss Landers,
that he gave her everything she asked for
until it got beyond his power to satisfy
her ever-growing desire for recognition,
that she is angered because Boyd M.
Ralston, nominee for mayor, would not
promise to appoint her a member of the
board of public works if he is elected,
and that she wanted entirely too much
money for her services.
This, it is said, is what Meeker is tell
ing Democratic leaders who came to him
today to see if something might be done
to keep Miss Landers from further pub
lic airing of her views. Some of the
leaders went away feeling the same way
Meeker does, it is said. Some privately
expressed a very wholesome fear that
even were the insurgent woman to be
placed now fresh dissatisfaction on her
part might develop before the election
in November.
NO SEPARATE
CREW OF WOMEN.
Mr. Meeker is making it plain that he
Intends to stand with Mr. Ralston in his
insistence that there shall be no separate
women's organization. Meeker points out
the troubles which both principal parties
had in Colorado as long as the law com
pelled men and women to'have separate
election machinery.
The controversy, however, is perturbing
Democratic leaders who have never been
enthusiastic about Meeker occupying the
chairmanship. Some of the saner chief
tians who were willing to pass over
Meeker’s intimacy with the Jewett crowd
just before the primary are expressing
the belief that if he cannot maintain
peace within his own party he should
make way for a chairman who can weid
the Democrats into a harmon'ous and
formidable organization.
It is pointed out that although Miss
Landers is the only Democrate of note

SACKS USED
AS CLOTHING
Incident of Armenian Need
Cited.
In its appeal for used clothing for
the orphans and destitute adult popula
tion of Armenia. Near East relief gives
this instance:
"Last winter when 50,000 men, women
and children were stripped of everything
by invading Turks and driven into freez
ing zero weather, they found nothing
that could be used to cover them except
20,000 flour sacks.”
“This ought to be sufficient argument
for bundle day,” said Stuart Walker of
the Stuart Walker stock company, who
is deeply sympathetic. “I am told that
the clothing cast aside by our people
would provide comfortable clothing for
every unclad one In the Near East.”
A warm bundle of clothing Is prom
ised by the Walker players. Indianapo
lis bundle day Is Tuesday, July 12.
Bundle day for the people of the Bible
lands has no connection with the Red
Cross campaign for central Europe, It Is
explained. Near East relief does not
share in this collection of clothing.
Here are some of the articles needed:
Coats, dresses, sweaters, skirts, blankets,
petticoats, overcoats, wool shirts, heavy
hoe, heavy wrappers, woolen gloves and
mittens, boots and shoes, felt slippers,
shopwrap garments, children’s clothes of
every sort, sheets for bandages.

direction of the State relief committee,
of which John H. Holliday is chairman.

25,000 More Doctors
WASHINGTON. .Tune 28—The United
States is short 25.000 physicians and ev

men to study medicine to avoid an acute

that the wives of the members of the in

INDIANA D-tJLY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 28,1921.
“Your Ship Comes in With a Rich Cargo” s
Then the Sail Game to Help Out Oars
on Merchant Boats
LM AN has ever been of an inventive turn of mind—ever seeking
P| IVI that which will make for faster progress or a saving of labor.
Thus from the primitive raft he progressed to the row boat
and then, evidently feeling that this method of transportation
mmH was too laborious, he found that by means of a piece of cloth
”
by means of the wind. This enabled him to move faster and with more
ease than by the use of sweeps alone.
As long ago as 6000 B. C. boats were made to move
by means of both oars and sails, but the latter were
of no avail against the wind. The first maritime car
riers of goods of whi there is any authentic record
were the. who dwelt on a narrow strip
of land on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean
and were founders of the great emporiums of Tyre
and Sidon. The product of western Asia flowed
through their hands. From carriers they became
merchants and to merchandise they added manu
facture.
As the Ship has come down to us as the symbol of
Commerce and Progress, so do these July Sales
typify the spirit of enterprise and stability of this
great store, from its lowly beginning back nearly
seven decades ago, to its present proud position in
Indiana retaildom. The products

Seas, come to this store and are

It makes it possible for you to have those things you

maintained the most cordial trade relations for
many years—and who have co-operated with us in

Two More Courtesy Days —
Wednesday and Thursday
In order to facilitate the handling of the immense vol
ume of business to be experienced on the opening day of
the sale and to permit our customers to make their selec
tions in a more leisurely manner than would be possible
after the sale starts, Wednesday and Thursday will be
COURTESY DAYS here.
On these days sale merchandise will be on display all
over the store and may be selected at the remarkably low
July Sale prices, being held for you until after the begin
ning of the sale. No goods so purchased will be delivered
before Friday, the opening day of the big thrift-event.

The Pettis Sale is an unusual commercial event
and one worthy of the best means of bringing it to
the attention of the public. Hence our use of so
much valuable newspaper space to bring home to
you the story of the wonderful savings of this great
sale.
This Sale will register action of the most pro
nounced sort—from the time the opening gong
sounds Friday morning at 8:30 o’clock until the sale
passes into history two weeks later, there will be
something doing here, every minute —something
which will mean more money in the pockets of our
customers on everything they buy, from the largest
to the smallest.
Make your plans now to share in the wonderful
economies of this great annual thrift-event —the
most notable occasion in 68 years of merchandising
in Indianapolis.
