Juvenile Dry
Detective Is
W. C. T. U. Guest
Mrs. Felix McWhirter Reads
Letter Warning Lad to
Avoid ‘Dumps.’
By JULLA HENDERSON.
At the last session of the W. C. T. U.
conference in the assembly room of the
Claypool Hotel yesterday Mrs. Felix T.
McWhirter Introduced Ralph Meyers, 411
West South street, and read a letter
which he had received in the morning
mail, j
This boy, she said, spent most of his
play time in the “dumps” near his home.
On several occasions the boys around this
locality had found “white mule” hidden
*n the dumps and Ralph Meyers had re
ported this condition to tbe W. C. T. U.
wc-kers. Asa threat from these unlaw-,
ful men, he received the following
letter: *
“Warning to you, young man, if
intend to live to be a cop, please stay
out of the dumps, there are several
awaiting you there at any hour.
(Signed) “THE BLACK HAND.”
Ralph showed through his cheerful
smile he was not afeuid and he probably
went back to play In the “dumps" after
he left the meeting.
The subject of immoral and abased pic
tures was discussed. It was told that
Mr. Hays had made the statement he
would make It possible for the film to
go from the producer upon the screen
before the public. Mrs. Elizabeth Stan
ley explained this would be the ruin of
ptetures. Mrs. Felix McWhirter made a
motion a committee be appointed to draft
a letter to Mr. Hays telling him of the
“drinking and women smoking acts” be
ing shown In plays that were supposed
to be for children. They were to ask for
clean >r and more uplifting pictures. This
motion was carried and the committee
was appointed. I
Mrs. C. J. Vayblnger. national vice j
president, spoke on “Americanization.” j
She urged each woman to find a foreign- j
born woman and teach her the ways and !
customs of America. The natural inclina- j
tion of womankind is to shun the less ;
fortunate. Mrs. Vtfyhinger explained we i
never would have clean politics as long j
as we shirked our part in educating thej
foreigner. The national organization of j
W. C. T. U. has compiled a correspond- j
ence class on “Americanization” and she j
asked each woman to write for this ;
course and study it, then to go out and
try to help the foreign born. Personnal
contact, Mrs. Vayblnger explained, has
been found the quickest and best method
of gaining the confidence of most foreign
women. She said Jesus told ns “to go
ye Into all the world and preach,” but
we of America did not, so the Lord
“dumped them here, and Instead' of ga
ing to them, we run from them.”
In Indiana alone there are 100.868 for
elgn born persons. The easiest avenue
to reach a person is through love,
speet begets love, therefore If we do the 1
things for which they will respect us.
soon we will have won their hearts and
they will strive to do as we do.

FRITZ KREISLER
PLAYS TO AID
VIENNA CAUSE
Famous Austrian Violinist
Uses Talent to Help
His Country.
WASHINGTON, March 9.—Fritz Krcls
ler did something unusual Tuesday when
he spoke with mtiElc and also with words
Asa result Vienna Is probably nearer to
being helped to her feet than any time
since the armistice.
The occasion was a meeting In favor of
extending the time for credit to Aus
tria, as embodied in a Joint resolution
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Lodge, Feb. 7.
Art came to the aid of politics as
Krelsler took over the first part of the
m ■•• ling. In addition,the occasion was
unusual, because both a Senator and his
wife played equally prominent parts.
Mrs. Medill McCormick presided, in
troducing the Austrian violinist as “The
great patriot and artist.” Then toward
the end Senator McCormick rushed up to
the platform. He had left the Senate for
half an hour or so to come and speak in
favor of the Austrian credit bill. He also
Introduced Col. W. B. Causey, formerly
of tbe 17th Engineers and more recently
American relief administration represent
ative. whom he had last seen iu the rail
r -art station in Vienna. •
FIDDLES BETWEEN
Ills SPEECHES.
Mr. Krelsler was generous with his
talent, announcing his selections, among
them his own “Caprice.” the popular
melody by Brigadier General Dawes,
Chainicade's Spanish Serenade and popu
lar refrain. He made several little
speeches In between, enjoining the huge
audience to remember the real purpose of
the meeting—support of the legislation
to aid Austria.
“Vienna has done a great deni in the
past to propagate civilization.” he
pleaded, “and she may agxin if you help

us with this legislation before it is too

| But he was mosr moving in his little
aside, when he announced the popular re
frain.
j “It is an old song of Viennn,” he
said, ‘'that is. of the Vienna which used
to be, and which may be again,” he add
ed as his bow pictured the Joy and
sparkle of Vienna, that was.
There was no collection ami no pledges
i were asked. The meeting >vas called
solely to arouse Interest in the legisla
tion now before the Senate Finance Com
mittee. A delegation of women called
on Senator McC'umber, chnlrtnau,
Wednej !ay, and. It is expected, hear
ings will be arranged within the next
few days.
WOMEN <TIMING
FROM W EST.
Miss Ildlen Todd of New York, for
merly of San Frnnclsco, announced flele
gatlons of women were preparing to
come from New York, Philadelphia and
Boston. She had received a telegram
from an enthusiast on the Pacific Coast,
I which rend: •
! “I never have wished I lived nenrer
! East before.”
lir. Joseph Redllch, Introduced as 1 a
former finance minister of imperial Aim
frla before the war, and now delivering
n series of lectures at Harvard, explain-d
the provisions of the bill. They also
were elitrldat-d in a paper by Edward
A. Filene of Boston, who was unable
to be present.
In brief,* the proposed legislation only
agrees to do what all tho countries of
Europe have agreed to do, namely, ex
tend the time of Austria's credit That
is, they are waiting for the United States
to he willing to forego her claims (for
reparations and foodstuffs) for twenty
five years, releasing Austria's assets so
she may raise a loan, stabilize her cur
rency. She then may purchase food and
raw mnteri’s from outside countries.
It was stated the allies had agreed to
this, but everything is being hung up,
pending action of Congress There will
tie little further delay If the plans of
those • sponsoring the meeting prevail.
The Women's International League ar
ranged the meeting, with the Friends'
Service Committee and tho American
Committee for Autsrlnn Relief cooperat
ing.—Copy right,'•l922, by Public Lodger

For Men Only
A well-known publisher was asked for
a list of sure “best sellers.” The first
two books he named were the Bible and
the cook book.
It is estimated that more homes In
America have the Bible than any other
took, and that next to the Bible they
have cook bonks. There are nearly
thirty million cook boobs in this country
ami the demand is increasing.
People may be entertained and they
should be ambsed; but they must eat.
Proof that the American woman is
really interested in the science of her
kitchen lies in the fact that substan
tial, practical cook books are, next to
the Word of God, the biggest sellers in
America. —From tho March Delineator.

WOMEN STILL
INTERESTED IN
4-POWER PACT
Official Bulletin Urges Mem
bers to Follow Fate
A
of Treaty.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
By CONSTANCE DREXEL.
WASHINGTON, Mari-h 9.—Are women
unmindful of the four-power pact which
Senator Lodge Is defending in the Sen
ate ? v
ThPy may not seem as Interested as
during the conference, but the fact is
at a recent meeting of the 'Women's
Joint Congressional Committee It was
decided to allow the National Council
for Reduction of Armaments (formerly
Limitation of Armaments) to speak for
its women’s organizations on this sub
ject through Its bulletin.
Under the heading, “Will this treaties
bo ratified?” tbe last number puts the
case for the women as follows:
“All of ns are watching the Senate
to see if it will nullify the work of the
conference or finish what has been begun
so well. Present Indications are the
treaties will alfr be ratified.
“The American people want the con
ference to succeed. A reservation inter
preting the four-power pact la likely at
this writing. The one proposed by Sen
ator Brandegee of Connecticut, declaring
the pact puts us under no legal or moral
obligation to ‘maintain the right' of the
powers concerned, and the consent of
Congress freely given, sjmll be necessary
Cos any decision to use force nnder the
pact, agrees fully with the accepted In
terpretation as enunciated l>y President
Harding.
“With or without- this reservation, the
four-power pact deserves support as a
part of the group of treaties which, as a
whole, guarantee peace in the Pacific for
the period of the naval holiday.
“Watch the papers and, if doubt arises
ns to the fate of any of them, let your
Senators know your interest In the Is
sue ”
I. T OF PACIFIC
I ACT RI LES ALL.
What the bulletin might hare added,
however, is the fact all the treaties rest
with the four-power pact. Those of us
closely In touch with the details know
that if the Senate fails to back that one
up. the Anglo-Japanese Alliance will
stand instead: and none of other treaties
of the conference—naval limitation and
holiday, submarine curb and poison gas
ban—can stand.
In addition to the efforts of the coun
cil through 11s widely distributed bul
letin, heads of women's organizations
are issuing recommendations to their
members to support.

GHOST REFUSES
TO PERFORM FOR
MAN OF SCIENCE
Frightened Family Asked to
Return to Farm and Call
Forth Spook.
HALIFAX, March 9.—A1l is earthly at
Antlgoulsh today. The occult manifesta
tions which resulted In a serious scien
tific expedition to tho MacDonald farm
have not been repeated for the benefit of
Dr. Franklin l'riuce, who Is leading the
Investigation. Asa result of the spook's
nonappearance, Dr. I’rlnco has Invited
the MacDonalds to come back to their
farm and, if possible, Induce the ghost
to perform. Tho cattle and horses which
were mysteriously shifted In their stalls
as part of the spook’s peregrinations,
have already been placed in position for
another performance.
Mrs. MacDonald, however, Is suffering
from a shock as a result of the ghost's
previous visits and it may prove difficult
to persuade her to return as bail for the
Investigators’ spook trap.
Tho ghost story Is beginning to lose
some of Its Interest for the good people
of Antlgonish. In'fact the ghost has
got the community's goat because of its
failure to perform for Dr. Prince. It Is
now believed the American Institute of
Scientific Research man will not succeed
In attracting the spook from its fourth

By CONSTANCE CORNWALL
The mystery connected with tho
robbery of the Richmond home Is
cleared away, when Lawrence Tilton
digs up the casket which he had been
led to believe contained the body of
Fifl, to find, instead, that he had
burled the Hardeaster jewels and the
treasure which he had tried to save
for Diana Richmond was still safe.
Further explanations of mysterious
happenings clarify the situation, and
Tilton comes to full understanding
with Diana. He sees the way open
toward tiie goal of Ills ambition to
•lake I>ia.na Ills wife. Follow the
narrative to Its conclusion.
CHAPTER Xl—Continued.
Then Larry told her. of hts suspicions
of Morell from the first and how he had
hinted them to Tom; and getting no
satisfaction from him he bad approached
her mother only to be called a wet
blanket, susplckous and uncharitable and
j every kind of hard name. Failing to
j arouse their doubts of Morell, Larry had
: started a secret investigation. His worst
gfears were realized. The man was ' a
fraud. Besides that was on Intimate
i terms with a Spanish woman, who no
doubt was the identical alleged widow
of the former Earl of Hardeaster. When'
he had brought his story up to date
Larry went minutely into the Incident of
the attempt to steal the Jewels, and the
methods by which he had frustrated the
plan. When he finished speaking Di sat
staring with with parted lips and blancb-
I ed cheeks.
Larry drew his chair closer to Di’s
: then he leaned forward and took her
hands in his. They were cold as ice.
j “Aren't you satisfied with what I did,
dear?” he asked, gazing fondly into the
face that was lovely even in gloom. But
for a second she made no answer.
“Larry,” she Bald at last in strained
tones, “you have given my Jewels to that
| villlan Morell.”
CHAPTER XII.
Tilton locked at her In utter amaze
ment. Her looks showed that she felt
wha tshe said was true.
“You don't understand," he said con
fidently. “Morell was bringing the
Jewels from your room, I tell you, and
1 substituted the boxes so that he got
Fill and I have buried tbe gems. Come
with ine and I'll dig them up and prove
, it to you.”
j ".Sit down. Larry,” she said distracted
ly, "and I'll tell you what has happened."
I “Won’t you wait until I get the box?”
he pleaded, becoming more perplexed at
her words and manner,
j “It Is a waste of time, Larry. You
have given my precious collection to
Morell, 1 ’ she repeated positively. -
I.arry was now thoroughly alarmed;
not on account of the Jewels because he
was sure that he had burled them, but
thought that the excitement had affected
Di's nerves, and temporarily unbalanced
he.- reason.
“What* makes you think that I gave
them to Morrell?” he asked intending to
humor her until he could dig up the box
and prove that he was right. "I thought
you had been looking from your mother's
window at the time of the attempted rob
bery and bad seen me change the boxes.
How else could you know about It?”
Di was quick to recognize the In
dulgence in Ms voice, and would have
resented It peremptorily, but she was
about to tell something that would make
him feel so badly it would be cruel to
add to his remorse.
: “i didn’t see anything from my moth
er's window, land 1 had no idea, until u
| moment ago, that you knew anything
1 about Morrell's attempt to rob me," she
I said, speaking quickly and emphatically,
i Then she related the Incident In her
loom after dinner when she had gone to
make tbe final preparations for Fifi's
interment. She explained minutely
about the first box being too small, and
the bringing of-the larger one, and the
transfer of the jexvols from one box to
the other. She described her action of
absently allowing tbe glittering stone3
tc slitter through her tiugers. Fancying
that she Jieard rain, she had looked up
smlthyily and had seen a man. gazing In
tently through the window at the gems,
he had failed to notice that she had ob
served him.
“I knew the moment I recognized Mor
ell’s face that his trip to Boston was a
ruse, and that be had cotne to steal my
treasure. A wave of fear .almost over
! rame me, but fortunately It was quickly
succeeded by a feeling of intense hatred
at the outrage, and I was determined to
: outwit him,” she added. “So I rang
; for Helen and pretended to feel chilly,
j She put a shawl around me. while I told
j her In the calmest voice I could cotu
! mand, to close the windows and draw
the curtnlns.
“The moment she had left the room I
rushed to the wardrobe and changed the
j boxes, putting the one containing
■ on the shelf and tho one with the jewels
I took to you to bury. Now do you see
that when you changed the boxes on the
veranda you gave that wretch the Jew-*
els?” There was no mistaking the sig
nificance of her words.
“My God, you are right. I’ve bppn an
accursed fool," Larry said, starting from
his seat again. “There’s no time to lose."
He snatched up his hat and rushed out
of the room.
“Where are you going?" DI cried wild
ly, running swiftly over the lawn after
him.
“To overtake Tom,” the lawyer called
back.
He was already In the ear when DI
came panting up to the garage.
"You'll never catch up with
Larry. Besides you are not sure where
Tom will take Morrell. If he Is well
enough be will want to get as far away
as possible; at least telephone and find
out whether they have arrived at Bright-
Held Hospital.”
Larry was on his mettle and he didn’t
intend to let anything Interfere with his
pursuit of the treacherous Spaniard. His
teeth were set, and his eyes flashed iu a
way that Inspired confidence in his
■Utility to checkmate his enemy in the
end.
“I'H ride until I overtake them. If 1
have to travel all night,” he said grimly.
"Go in the bouse, Di; you’ll catch cold
standing out here.” He leaned over and
kissed her upturned face.
“I’m coming, too,” she declared, and
starter to get In the car.
“There’s the telephone,” Larry said
hastily, springing out of the car. Di had
heard it, too, and the next minute they
were both running back to the house.
Tilton grabbed t„e receiver and lis
tened in tense silence for tha fraction of
a minute.
“Hello, hello!” he called Impatiently.
DI stood motionless, watching him with
wide expectant eyes.
“What was it?” she asked when Larry
finally threw the receiver back Into the
,hook.
“It was Tom,” Larry grumbled. “He
! just said he was starting home and
|bo here in twenty minutes. He rang off
: abruptly without giving me a chance to
| ask anything.”
j “Didn't he tell you anything else?”
Di asked disappointedly.
I “Not another word. Now I suppose I’ll
| have to stay until ha comes,” he said re
signedly.
Di watched him In silence while he
took several strides across the room.
After a second or two he stopped and
looked seurchingiy at the dry-eyed girl,
who was struggling bravely to conceal
her distress.
“YVby don'f you cry or scold,” he said
bitterly. “Any other woman would have
been drowned In tears at such a loss.”
Larry didn’t know that although DI
might weep on his shoulder at the death
of a pet dog, the loss of priceless Jewels
could leave her tearless, if by such cour
nge she could lessen his remorse. But
the old Adam was so strong in him just
then that instead of attributing any
such high motive to the woman he
loved so dearly, the old feeling of Jeal
ousy, that he had hoped never to ex
perience again, took possession of him.
i "DI," he said, nnd hesitated as she met
his glance with wide confiding eyes.
"Don't worry so much, Larry; we shall
be Just as happy without the gems," she
said with wonderful fortitude,
j "Not If I know that rascal has them.”
he muttered to himself. Aloud, he said:
“YVas It to shield Morell that you re

harshly in his own ears.

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.
By DAVID CORY".
Fuss Junior and Tom Thumb enjoyed
their supper at Crusoe Castle better than
any meal Castle better than any meal
they ever had. “Even when I visited the
Man in the Moon, the cheese wasn't ns
good ns this,” said Puss.
“Glad you like It," said Mr. Crusoe,
“I inade it myself from goat’s tuilk. 1
have some fine goats, let me tell you. I
made me this coat from an old Nanny
goat. Do you wonder how Crusoe could
do so?”
“Well, I suppose there are no tailors
on the Cruso Island,” said Tom Thumb.
“I’ve never met any,” replied Mr.
Crusoe with a laugh. 'T've never met
anybody so far except goats and kids,
parrots nnd monkeys, ducks and drakes,
snakes and lizzards."
“Y\ here did you get Snoozer and Caro
mel and Caroline?" asked l'uss.
“They came off the ship with me when
it was wrecked,” said Mr. Crusoe. “That
is, I brought them off the next dny when
I went out on the raft to the wreck. And
they've been with me ever since.”
“Oh, by the way,” Puss Junior sud
denly exclaimed, “Is Friday here?"
“Oh, yes,” cried Tom Thumb, “Where
Is Friday?"
Mr. Crusoe got up and walked over to
a tall pole and looked over carefully the
notches cut Into the wood. "Let mo
think,” he said. "Today Is Thursday.
Yes, that’s right; Friday will ba hera to
morrow.’'
"You’ve made a mistake, Mr. Crusoe,”
said Puss with a laugh.
“Have I?” he replied, looking over his
wooden calendar carefully a second time.
“I don’t mean the day,” said Puss. “I
menn*your man Friday.”
“Oh, you mean my black man Fri
day.” said Mr. Crusoe. "Oh, I gave him
a holiday. He'll bo here tomorrow.”
“I’m very anxious to see him," said
Tom Thumb.
“He'll be surprised when he sees yon,
too,” said Mr. Cruso_e, with a grin. "He's i
never seen a white man but me,”
By this time it was quite dark, so Mr. i
Crusoe lighted some very nice home- ;
made candles and struck them here and
there in the cave. They gnve a very soft
light. The waves on the beach murmured
gently, and pretty soon Snoozer was
snoring and Caromel and Caroline were
fast asleep on an old sack in a corner.
“Let us turn In,” said Mr. Crusoe, '
showing'Puss and Tom a very comforta
ble hammock. In a short time every- J
body was sound asleep and snoring j
away in Crusoe Cave. And in the next j
story you shall hear what happened after |
that.—Copyright, 1922, David Cory.

The Hoopers Tell
How Five Live on
a Limited Income
[The Hoopers, an average American
t'aiii y of five, will tell the readers
; of the Dally Times how the many
present-day problems of the home

THURSDAY.
j With the idea in mind that she would
j concentrate on getting tbe kitchen prop
erly equipped for working oti Saturday,
Mrs. Hooper had made out bar shopping
list for today, xvitb particular attention
| to the things that she had not yet pur
chased for that room, and which she
considered very necessary equipment.
With the furniture she had bought, tha
gas range, au enameled kitdhen table,
a small pine table, a high stool, one
kitchen chair and linoleum for the floor.
She had bought onlj- the cooking uten
sils that she absolutely needed, and these
last few weeks had been particularly
| trying, because she was managing with-
I out many things that she had always
i had to use in preparing her meals and
in doing kitchen work. In order to
avoid the confusing appearance that some
!,kiteheus have when you come into them,
because all the sauce pans and dishes
are of a great many different colors, shs
had decided to have all her pots and
pans of gray agate, all her common cook
i ing china of blue "and her mixing bowls
jof yellow. This gave a bright, cheerful
I look in the kitchen without confusion.
| One of the first acts of settling the
; kitchen would be to putting the various
j cooking utensils In groups In places
about the kitchen where they would al
ways be under her hand. The old plan
! putting all the pots and pans in a
| closet and all the kitchen knives and
j forks and spoons and small tools
used for preparing food In a* drawer and
all the mixing bowls on a high pantry
i shelf, Mrs. Hooper has long abandoned,
j and had learned to put the utensils used
| for the same purpose together in groups
and In proper relation to the stove or
j sink or table. In order to get these In
j place on Saturday while she had Roger
| and Henry to put up shelves and hooks,
I s lte was anxious to assemble as many
I things as possible In spite of the fact
I that she hated to spend so much money
, all at once. She had already put over
! a hundred dollars Info the kitchen and
j there "as still a long list of little things.
| costing but a small sutn alone, but
; amounting up when so many of them
had to besought. She still needed and
j must buy* today a clock, a bread box,
I a knife sharpener, an Ice pick and
; shaver, a glass butter Jar, cheap dishe3
| for putting food away in the ice box,
■ a large tray, a dish drainer, dish mops
i and pot brush, a plate shaper, sink
j strainer, soap shaker, a wire*faucet soap
i dish, sink brush and scoop, mesh pot
j fags, a pancake turner, skewers, a lemon
| squeezer, a kitchen scissors, half a dozen
custard cups, a large kitchen knife, a
I small kitchen knife, an egg beater and
cream whip combined, two mixing bowls
• Dbe had one) a flour dredger, an enamel
j funnel and a meat chopper. With the
Scouting utonsiais she had already bought
' nnd the few things she had brought
from Mayfield, this would equip her
kitchen very completely. On her list
she did not forget to put the several izes
of tin pans and handles out of which
: she and Helen were to make dish covers
that when finished would look like and
servo the purpose of the silver plated
ones they had sgen in use in the Pull-
I man dining cars on their trip from
1 Mayfield to Indianapolis.
i- Ihe marketing for the week was about
j as usual, though with the beginning of
j Lent, Mrs. Hooper planned to' have more
' s l> dishes and cut down on her meat
! allowance. YVlth the Mayfield canned
. vegetables nnd fruits unpacked and la
I P la ce on their shelves she had used more
| of them tlian of the fresh fruit and
j vegetables that were In the market and
| were very tempting. There were plenty
j of Kod looking apples at the little
: neighborhood market and she “bought
| quite a supply.
Tho menus for the three meals of
Friday are: •
BREAKFAST
Baked Apples and Cereal
Poached Eggs on Toast

RHUBARB SAUSE.
Wash and out rhubarb In one-lneh
piecos without peeling. Put In a sauce
pan ami sprinkle generously with sugar;
; add sufficient water to prevent rhubarb
from scorching. As rhubarb contains a
large percentage of water it nedes but
little added when cooking. Cover and
simmer until tender. If boiling water is
poured over the rhubarb before cooking
and allowed to stand five minutes, then
; drained, less sugar will be required. If
i baked In a shallow earthen pudding
dish, closely covered, it will retriin ita
rich pink color.
| ORANGES ALA HOLLAND HOUSE.
: Select fine, large Juicy oranges: chill,
[and pare the desired number with a
sharp knife, taking rare to remove all
the white bitter principle. Cut reach
orange in quarters beginning at the stem
end. Remove the core by cutting a
piece off the sharp edge of each quarter.
Arrange five quarters cut side down on
each chilled fruit plate, radiating from
a pyramid of powdered sugar placed In
the center of each plate. This pyramid
may be made by packing sifted confec
tioners’ sugar in a pony glass, then in
verting the same on the center of each
fruit plat: tap the glass gently, then re
move it, nnd the sugar will form a com
plete cast of the glass.

wear a radiophonette. All you need is a
dozen- or so pearls and a mind of scien

strings of pearls fashioned after the ears

wear. Usually four strands go over tha
head, connecting with round clusters,
which hang over the ears. Os course, if
the style strikes you favorably, you may
use diamonds, rubles or any other prec

pearls will do nicely. 4
