IT IS to be hoped the Russian delegates at the Genoa conference will
not have to be paged.
THE GAS supply in Indianapolis, it seems, is trying to emulate Eu
gene Field's classic flannel shirt.
BY THE TIME Mary Landon Baker leaves Allister waiting at the
shurch a few more times the youth may begin to doubt her love.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL thought the Indianapolis newspaper
men were jurors. At any rate they were willing to hear him.
MAYOR SHANK evidently believes in an anti-nepotism platform. He
has told the city hall machine to place Brother Carlin’s name on the “black
list."
ATTORNEY GENERAL Daugherty, used to the secret diplomacy of
Washington, evidently did not like that open door conference with Judge
Anderson.
“SMALL-BORE politicians circulated bare lies against James E.
Watson in 1916,” declared Judge Arthur R. Robinson campaigning for Al- j
bert J. Beveridge. The judge should know, for he was one of Watson's
two opponents that year.
The Endocrine Mystery
The psycho-analysis craze threatens to be eclipsed by the wave of
curiosity about the endocrine glands, now sweeping the Nation. The
gland specialists put it like this: Near your windpipe is the thyroid glapd.
It works on the principle of a gas valve. By regulating the amount of
energy pioduced and consumed in your body, the thyroid controls your
speed of living—makes the human auto a racer or a creeper, physically,
mentally and emotionally.
The adrenal glands, attached to the kidneys, are the glands of combat.
They mobilize energy for emergencies, making you frightened or brave
during a crisis.
The pituitary gland, located in a cave in the skull, has for its chief
function the regulation of the growth of the skeleton and supporting tis
sues. Giants and dwarfs, say the scientists, are simply individuals with
over-active or sub-normal pituitary secretions. Less important endocrine
glands are the pineal, thymus, interstitial, pancreas and parathyroids.
Most mysterious parts of the body are the glands. Doctors are learn
ing about them rapidly. Tinkering with them, they produce astounding
changes in health, emotions and intellect. For instance, the type of
mental deficient known as a cretin was once supposed incurable. Now
cretinism is recognized as thyroid deficiency.
A cretin, fed thyroid extract from sheep, begins growing normally ;
and develops intelligence close to norm..!. If a cretin stops his thyroid
diet, mental and physical deterioration sets in almost overnight. Or, say
scientists, it is possible to take an erratic genius and pull him down to
normal by treating his glands. Extreme gland-fans picture the w> rid as
peopled by a mass of normal slaves ruled by individuals with abi ormal
glands.
Some gland specialists reach Haeckel’s conclusion, that the bf ay and
being are nothing but chemical machines. They see a vast at ount of
potential human thought imprisoned in a bottle of iodine, th' element
that is the very life of the thyroid.
Nevertheless, the glandsters are unable to prove that emotions and
intellect are merely expressions of glandular conditions instead of glandu
lar conditions being expressions of emotions and intellect. In the last
analysis, the controversy among glauisters is whether mind controls
matter or matter controls mind.
A New Tariff Bill
When the Senate Finance Committee disgorged the new tariff bill,
wb'.ch it had carefully nurtured for for many months, it revealed the
upper body holding a diametrically opposed view to that of the House on ■
the important question of valuations. The Senate committee wants the<
import duties based upon the foreign valuation of the goods, while the
House already has sanctioned the American valuation plan.
Two views so radieally different mean but one thing—endless debate
and conferences until the country is surfeited with rhetorical ebullitions
and finally the adoption ot a compromise measure.
There is one thing, however, both Houses seem to be agreed upon
and that is that the United States is in urgent need of an impregnable
tariff wall that will even eclipse the well remembered Payne-Aldrich bill.
And in espousing an ultra-high protection wall Republican leaders .ire
not forgetful of the fact the Payne-Aldrich measure proved an impediment
which the Taft Administration was unable to overcome with consequent
disastrous results in 1910.
The Senate committee, in framing the bill, has not been unmindful
of the influence of “blocs,” both within Oingress and without, and drafts
of the proposed measure show that about *
sumers’ “bloc” has been well taken care of.
Some sanguine prophets believe anew tariff law will be enacted be
fore July and admittedly it will require that long—as Congress moves—
to compose the diverging theories of the two Houses. But this is a cam
paign year and if the leaders feel that an agitated public is displaying too
much interest there are indications that an impasse can be reached thfit
will preclude a definite decision until after election.
Russia at Genoa
Premier Lloyd-George, speaking at the opening session of the Genoa
conference, laid down these conditions under which Russia will be ad
mitted to the international discussion:
“The first Is, when a country enters into contractual obligations with another
country or its nationals for Table recei ve*l. that contract can be repudiated
whenever the country changes its government without returning value. The
second is that no country can wage war on the institutions of another. The
third is that one nation shall not engage in aggressive operations against the
territory of another. The forfrth is that the nationals of one country shall be
entitled to impartial justice in the courts of another.”
Geo.-ge Chitcherin, the soviet representative, immediately accepted,
and thus for the first time since she deserted the allies at the crest of
the World War, Russia sat among her international neighbors in confer
ence.
Whether Russia, the impediment to a reconstructed Europe, will be
taken into the comity of nations depends entirely on the course she elects
to pursue. TLa vCaer nations are willing to receive her, but she must first
sabscrioe to amenities of civilized intercourse generally observed through
act the world.
There are indications radical Bolshevism is slowlv ebbing in B-vesia,
and if this is evidenced by the good faith of her delegates at Genoa and
subsequent adherence to the conditions imposed a step toward the eco
nomic rehabilitation not alone of Europe, but of the world, will have been
taken.
Flasks and Congressmen
Uncle Sam is certainly a beneficent taskmaster if, a Congressman
Blanton charges, it is true that whisky flasks were kept on sale in the
storeroom of the House of Representatives. Government has truly ap
proached the ideal when the individual desires of its lawmakers are sup
plied so conveniently.
Whether the charges are true or not the public, unfortunately, will
take little notice of them until they attract the attention of someone
more responsible than the Texas Represen#five, who has been denounced
on the floor of the House by his own colleagues as a “common liar.”
Nevertheless they are enough to warrant an investigation—not
one of the customary congressional probes that gets nowhere—but deep
enough to show whether or not governmental agencies have enabled Rep
resentatives to violate privileges extended them undfer the law.
From many accounts a flask of the hip pocket variety is a necessary
piece of personal equipment in Washington these daysVand those Con
gressmen who have availed themselves of the opportunity‘to obtain them
through their stationery allotment undoubtedly will be loath to join in the
hue and cry raised ■■■
WORLD’S LOVELI
Where the Jordan R\
BY WALTER D. lIICKMAN.
They told us in song last night at the
Murat that the loveliest girls in the
world are to be found where the Jordan
River flows through the campus of In
diana University, Then they produced
the proof.
This all happened in a delightfully en
tertaining sort of way last night at the
Murat Theater by students of the uni
versity during a presentation of “The
Jordan River Revue.” The proceeds go
to the Memorial Fund of the univer
sity.
The program explained the Jordan
River and the obj*ct of the Memorial
Fund as follows:
“The Jordan River, christened in
honor of David Starr Jordan, who was
president of Indiana University from
1883 to 1891, traverses the entire length
of the Indiana University campus,
trickling under the bleachers on Jordan
field en route. It assumes torrential
proportions during April showers and is
a mere momory in mid-August. The
Jordan River has been the scene of
countless freshmen duckings and forms
the background for a large portion of
Indiana University tradition and legend.
"It is to the land of the Jordan River
that Aileene Trevor flees in the first
scene of the R°vue, trailed by W. J.
Sideburns, world's greatest criminologist,
and his force of Six Super Sleuths. Their
gum shoe work leads the sleuths into the
world's byways and side streets before
the land where the real Jordan River
flows is discovered. The final scene of
the Revue brings the work of the detec
tives to a fruitful close on Jordan field,
close by the waters of the Jordan River,
at the close of the annual Indlana-Purdue
football contest.
"The Jordan River Revue was designed
primarily to add a few dollars to the
Indiana University Memorial Fund of at
least one million dollars. Its first pro
duction on the university campus netted
more than s*soo for the fund.

I thorized and backed to the limit by
1 alumni and former students of the uni
j versity, will provide money for the
| erection of three memorial buildings on
j the Indiana campus at Bloomington.
They will be dedicated to the memory of
Hoosier soldiers who have fallen in the
wars of the Nation.
“A Union building, a dormitory for
women and an athletic stadium will be
erecced from the funds collected during
the memorial campaign. Each building
is designed to eliminate the most press
ing needs confronting the university at
the present time and to provide for at
least twenty-five years of future develop
ment.
! "The Memorial Fund campaign passed
through its first phase with the drive
among the members of the undergraduate
body early in March. Following a two
months’ educational and publicity cam
paign and a monster mass meeting ad
dressed by Governor Warren T. McCray
and student '•leaders, solicitation teams
composed of men and women students
took the field and obtained pledges total
ing $413,000 within thirty hours from the
active student body. Noble C. Butler of
Indianapolis, and Miss Elizabeth John
’ ston of Bloomington, directed the eam
; pus campaign. Preparations for carrying
j the project to the alumni are now being
formulated.”
I The play is in three acts and numerous

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.
By DAVID COPT.
“Heigh-Ho!" cried little Puss Junior,
merrily starting out one fine morning on
his Journey of adventure. And, by and
by, after a while, he came to a wood.
“Sylvia, sweet as morning air,
Do not drive me to despair;
Long have I sighed In vain.
Now I am come again.
Will you be mine or no, no-a no—
Will you be mine or no?”
sang n sweet voice.
There knelt Simple Simon before
Sylvia, who frowned and said;
'Simon, pray, leave off your suit.
For of your courting you'll bear no
fruit;
I would rather give a crown
Than be married to a clown.
Go for a booby, go, go a go—
Go for a booby, go.”
Then Simple Simon tnmed sorrowfully
away and he was so sad that he walked
with his heal downcast and so almost
ran Into Pus Junior.
“Cheer up. Simon,” eried Puss. "Love
is blind, so I'll pardon your running
Into me!”
“Ha, ha:" laughed Sylvia, "you are a
bright little eat!”
“Let me tell you both a story,” said
Puss Junior.
"Tell one of your adventures,” said
Sylvia, seating herself on a fallen tree.
“Well, I'll tell you about the man who
scratched out both his eyes, the Bramble-
Bush Man, you know. It was the day
I rode home on my good gray horse
with the farmer's daughter so rosy and
fair. We stopped at his house to ask him
where my father lived.
“You see, It was the time I was hunt
ing for my dear father. Everybody
called the man a wise man. so I thought
he could tell me. But he couldn’t. In
fact, he said ho considered himself a
very foolish man ever to have Jumped In
to the bramhle hush, and scratched out
both his eyes, and that it was a wonder
ho had had enough sense to jump Into
another hush and scratch them in again.
Now tho moral of this little story to
you. my dear Simon, Is this:
"You have fallen In love with Sylvia;
you have Jumped into a bramble bush
of love nnd scratched out both your
eyes, for Sylvia does not love yon; nnd
If one Is not loved In return, love Is
certainly a bramble bush.
"Now. tny advice to you Is to fall in
love with another girl nnd get back your
eyes!" And then Puss Junior stood up
and twisted his mustache, and after
that he bowed very low and continued
on his way. But I don't know to this
day whether Simple Simon took Puss
Junior’s advtco or not.—Copyright, 1922.
This concludes "Puss In Boots, Jr.,” in
the Times.

APRIL 12,1922.
Radio, the new national pastime which
already numbers Its disciples by the hun*
dreds of thousands, is stimulating Im
mensely the popular Interest In elec
tricity. Itself an electrical manifestation,
it requires certain electrical equipment,
and In some cases this equipment is
arousing radio enthusiasts to the unique
value of electricity to the human race,
especially to home dwellers.
Undoubtedly the opening of eyes, so to
speak, begins through the necessity of
charging the storage batteries used In
radio sets. These batteries have to be
re-charged frequently, and if the radio
operator was compelled to take the bat
tery each time to a battery service sta
tion it would mean considerible trouble,
expense and time.
Hence the popu’arity among radio folk
of gas-filled rectifiers for charging these
batteries. And if the radio amateur is
also an automobile ow the rectifier
has for him a double usefulness, since
it will re-charge the starting and lighting
battery in his car as well as the radio
battery of his receiving set. To many
radio folk this gives a big importance to
the function of electricity in the home —
a function that is many sided.
Rectifiers originally devised for other
uses are now finding new application
in the radio field.

Washington Briefs
WASHINGTON, April 12—First hand
information about Russia from an au
thoritative observer will be in possession
of the United States Government just
about the time the Genoa conference gets
into its stride. Up-to-the-minute facts ob
tained after roundly a month in Russia
are being brought to Washington by
James P. Goodrich, formerly Governor of
Indiana. He is expeeted to reach this
country about April 20. Mr. Goodrich
went to Russia on behalf of the Hoover
Relief organization, for the purpose of
ascertaining definite and detailed knowl
edge as to what further requirements the
organization must be prepared to meet.
It is the former Indiana executive’s sec :
ond trip to Sovletland. During the so
journ just completed, Mr. Goodrich visit
ed Petrograd, Moscow and other im
portant centers of population and had
opportunity of discussing the situation
with the principal wielders of Red
power.
Probably when he visited Russia in
1915 and 1916 as a war correspondent,
Richard Washburn Child had no inkling
that six years later his acquaintance
with conditions there would stand him
in valuable stead as an American "ob
server" at a great European conference.
Ambassador Child's impressions and ex
periences in war-time Russia were later
embodied in a book the title of which
suggests his special fitness for the task
he now is fulfilling at Genoa. The vol
ume was called “Potential Itußsia.”
Senator Borah's desk is piled up today
with incriminating evidence that Semen
off, the Cossack chieftain, is nn unfit
person to remain on American soil. Let
ters and telegrams from American offi
cers, claiming first-hand knowledge of
Semenoff’s unspeakable inhumanities in
Siberia are so categorical that Senator
Borah has summoned his accusers to ap
pear before the Senate committee on labor
and education on Wednesday. If the ac
cusations are substantiated, it is Senator
Borah's Intention to insist that Semenoff
be deported at the earliest possible mo
ment.

Inch long, which he swallowed many
years ago, was found sticking between
his ribs and extracted by a surgeon.
