TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Nov. 2s.-In-
diana women should not dress so
"~gsuzy." but should wear warmer cloth
ing, as one means Of saving the states
fuel supply. This advice is contained
in a statement prepared by a commit
tee Of women appointed at the recent
convention at Fort Wayne of. the Inoi-
ana Federation of Clubs. This commit
tee was appointed fer The purpose OF
Offering the cooperation of Indiana
club women with the state fue admin
istrator in his campaign TO reduce the
consumption Of coal. Members of the
committee are Mrs. Felix T. McWhirt-
er. Indianapolis: Mrs. Alvin Fellows
Bacon, Evansville; Mrs. Walter B. Bull
lett. New Albany; Mrs. John s. Pax
son. South Bend. and Mrs. A. E. Fauve.
Fort Wayne.
This committee has sent out an APP
peal TO all women of the state and to
the president OF every woman's club.
asking the women to enlist in the cam
paign for fuel conservation.
Thin and gauzy clothing expose wom-
en- to the cold, these women say, and
more heat is required to keep them
warm than if they wore good, warm
WOODEN clothing. This means that more
coal must be used to make more heat
to keep women warm. If they cease L
wear gauzy clothes it Will not be neces-
Sary to keep the furnace 50 hot.
The circular sent out by the wom-
Ems committed makes the following
recommendations for fuel conservation:
hat wood be used as a fuel wherever
possible.
That the heated rooms in every house
be reduced TO those necessary to rns
households needs.
That women dress warmer.
That electric lights he turned of
when not in use and that the maximum
use be made of the simmer" on the
gas range.
That clubs. churches and other or
CARNATIONS avoid the heating Of large
auditoriums when possible, by holding
meetings in private residences.
That those who can afford TO buy
high priced coal but it and thereby re-
lease the cheaper coal to families less
able TO buy.
That club women in each county CO.
operate with the fuel administrator
That club women urg the cause Of
fuel conservation through newspaper
interviews and articles.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Passing the buck - a good poker term, with which most Americans are familiar seems to be the only re- ply Seattle has made to the public and military demand that vice condi- tions there be abated. True, there have been meetings at which the sub ject has been discussed, but always there has been manifest a Let Bill do it" spirit a desire to shift re- sponsibility; to avoid acceptance of the onus of becoming known as Ire form" leader.
 Judge Hiram E. Hadley has put the work of cleaning house properly be- fore the constituted authorities. He was asked to head a citizens commit tee to be organized for the purpose of making the law effective and com polling public officials to do the work for which they are paid. He has de- clined to undertake the task, not be- cause in his opinion, there is no req son for such a commission. In his let ter of refusal, he pillories the men charged with law enforcement par ticularly the chief executive. He points out that Mayor Gill and his po- lice force have all the authority re- quired; that nothing remains to be done other than plain duty - and he urges that the machinery already pro- vided be set in motion with a view to cleaning up the city.
 Judge Hadleys decision was made known following a conference in his office of representatives of various church and civic bodies. The con clusions of this conference were that the mayor and no one else - pos sessed the power to proceed with the clean-up that it was legally impos- sible for MT. Gill to delegate that au- thority to anyone else.
 The inevitable has happened in Se- attle. A recalled mayor has been put back into office. He was busted for cause. His reelection. to him, and to the anti-reform element, was vindica; ton. The view was that the majority of the people wanted an open town and they got it. Now it has gotten away from them and liberty has be- come license. The worst element se- cured control - and it has run wild, so wild that it has we'll nigh killed the goose - and their golden eggs are about to be taken from them.
 Instead of being a beautifully clean city, Seattle has begun to degenerate, and it is on the down grade at a ter rife clip. No one - particularly those who feel the liberals" put them in of. flee - is left to apply the brakes. Se- attle is in the hands of the wreckers- moral and otherwise and there will be no stopping until they feel they have reached the limit and must seek other places to despoil.
