| Capt. John f. Boyd. Ill North
First avenue is a consistent republi-
can. He has spent many years watch
ing the trend OF politics and admin
istrations. He has seen 1t from every
angle. Now, at the age of 80. he is
waiting expectantly to cast probab-
ly his last presidential ballot for
Harding and Coolidge. If he can be
granted continued health to do this
| last duty for his country he says he
will be entirely satisfied.
| Captain Boyd was born q demo-
crat. He became republican. Every
inherited instinct. his early training
| and environment all made a strong
appeal to him to be q democrat. His
first vote was for a democratic can
didate. but the circumstances were
such as to make this a foregone con-
clusion.
Of Distinguished Family. !
Captain Boyd. was born near Boyd

before he was horn, his father was

from 1851 to 1885, as speaker Of the

cast at the time his father was run

his father by giving him his only
democratic vote. His fathers death

The average person Is seldom defi-

disliking this or that particular room
The selection and arrangement OF
light fixtures Of room is one Of the
mosphere of rest and comfort. The
psychological fact that the effect OF
lighting q room produces different
moods In persons tinder It's influence
has become generally accepted and a
careful study should be made 81 the
architectural features and general
purpose Of each room in connection
with its lighting possibilities.
a. To Match Period Furniture.
The interest felt in the use OF good
period furniture is being reflected in
the design Of artistic lighting fix
lures. For use with the mission and
craftsman rooms the art glass, fin
ished in single. hues or with shaded
effects is appropriate. The glass
shades are made much more attrac-
tive in both material and designs
than ever before. The glass is Of
lighter weight and Of a more mild
color and finer texture. The new
shades show great variety Of pat
tern from the exuuisite1y rich and
elaborate to the most simple and
conventional outlines. The glass
shades with stamped patterns are in
expensive and artistically worked out.
The hand decorated. or those with
hand f1nishing, have unusual indi-
viduality and interest.
A scheme Of Jacobean or Chippen-
dale furnishings Is most effective
with lighting fixtures heavy in bulk
but with long graceful lines. Silver
Is particularly popular and Is made
In a great diversity Of patterns. The
silver in candle designs, both in
chandeliers and side lights is ex-
tensfvely shown.
Novelties In Fixtures.
The delicate metal work corre-
spends well with a Hepplewhite
room. These are particularly attrac-
tive with the quaint oriental figures

kerry makes refreshing and smar,
light fixtures to be used with wicker
and grass furnishings. Perhaps
among the most popular shades are
the hand decorated parchments. They
are made in any variety Of shapes
and sizes and are decorated with
classical conventional patterns, with
realistic floral. designs, charmingly
quaint scenes and whimsical, mys-
terious fancies which might almost
be called "futurtstic." These shades
may be obtained to correspond with
many periods and schemes.
The light fixtures should not only
be selected to match the furnishings
in color, texture and style, but the
lights should be arranged to the best
possible advantage Of the general; eff
feet of the room. The eye is attract
ed invariably by the brightest point
Of light and 1t is well to keep that
fact in mind when wishing to make
the most of a good point of a room
Or on the other hand to draw the at
tention away from unagreeable fea-
lures. 4fs
Lights Well Proportloned.
In large formal rooms Of the style
Of Louis, chandeliers, stately and
luxurious, SUSPENDED from the ceiling
make a good finish. The size and de-
gree Of decoration depends on the
size and scheme Of the room. The
more formal the room the more care
should be used in obtaining a correct
proportion. Nothing could make a
room look more grotesque and clumsy
than either too Insignificant lighting
or fixtures too large for the spaces.
In modern homes side lights and
lights placed in carefully selected
places often form an architectural
part Of the house. Side lights placed
on both sides of fireplace, dress
ing table, or q buff.t emphasize these
features and are pleasing when bal
anced with other lights In the room.
The principal idea Of comfort for
reading or sewing is given more con-
sideration than formerly. Lovely
floor lamps fill the requisite Of COM
fort and convenience and at the same
time afford splendid means of bal
ance for side lights.
The dining room dome Is little used
In the newer home plans. Taking its
place largely is the cluster Of silver
or metal candle fixtures. The COM
bination of silver and white clusters
are hung low over the table to CORE
spond with the silver and linen on
the table. The effect is very good.

ecretary of the Hoosier Motor Club, led the procession of cars that made the trip around the trail in her Cole Aero Eight, the pilot car for the initial tour' on the day of it's dedication.
 The average city motorist uses his car as a utiltarian transportation medium on week days. On Sunday short pleas ure trips out into the open usually are planned In most cities 1t has been left to the individual motorist to explore the countryside on his own account.
 It was MT. Noblett's belief that motor car owners would appreciate the estab- lishment of a community trail which would make it possible for even the ''tenderkoot' motorist to enjoy the best that his neighborhood has to offer Tn the way of scenery.
 The new Indianapolis motorway leads through scenes of rustic beauty and pro- vides hundreds of ideal spots for pie nickers and campers.
 The trail is in the form of a rough oo- long, boxing in the suburbs, and may be entered by way of any of the main streets leading out of the heart of the city in all directions. 1t is a trail oi wonderfully fine roads and is appre- ciated by Indianapolis motorists and visitors probably to a greater degree than any other trip out of Indianapolis
 The Dandy Trail points the way ts other communities in the matter of pro- viding an ideal tour for motorists.

IRISH HOME RULE BILL
BECOMES LAW TO-DAY
Effective Date Under Control
of Government.
BIZ the Associated Press.


LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE possibility of a
conflict between the House of Lord and
the House of Commons over the Irish
Home Rule bill has been averted. The
amendments Of the measure made by
the Lower House were amicably dis
cussed in the Upper Chamber to-day.
and all were disposed Of in a MANNER
that will permit the measure becoming
a law tomorrow.
At the opening of the debate Baron
Birkenhead. the Lord Chancellor, inti-
mated that an agreement might be
reached on most of the amendments TO
the measure, but that the Government
would insist on retaining control of THE
appointed day" when the bill should be-
come operative. Baron Birkenhead said
that the Government was strongly of tho
opinion that owing to the rapidly chang
ing conditions in Ireland the "appointe
day might come within a few months,
that the decision of victory was being
90 clearly determined on the side of Law
and order 1t would then be possible to
hold elections in Ireland without fear OF
intimidation.
On this assurance the Marquis Of
Salisbury withdrew his amendment max
ing the appointed day dependent on tho
resolutions of both Houses Of Parlia-
ment. The other amendments Of the
House of Commons were agreed to. The
only changes in them were that the Irish
Council should not be elected by proper
tional representation. and also that In
stead of the Irish Chancellor, as sug-
gested by the House OF Lords, being
president Of the Council, the Lord Lieu
tenant should retain the right OF nom-
mating the president of the Council.

CORK FIRES HALTED
IRISH TRUCE FARLEY
Negotiations Had Been Under
Way for a Week, Rumors

AMNESTY DEMANDED
By the Associated Press.


DUBLIN. Dec. t7.-Out of the crop
of rumors circulating in Dublin to-day
regarding a renewal of efforts toward
peace between England and the Sim
Fem organization. there emerged an in
teresting report that the military au-
thorities in Ireland actually began
negotiations last week for a conference
to arrange q truce.
According to this report which 10
accepted as true by those In close
touch with these developments, the
overtures came from the Republicans,
and one meeting was held to consider
the preliminaries. Then came the Cork
fires, which are said to have SO in
censed the Republicans that they broke
off the discussions. Intermediates now
are trying to induce them to again
meet with the military authorities.
It is understood the principal initial
condition the Republicans will seek to
impose is amnesty for all members OF
the Irish Republican army. including
the men which the Government has
been endeavoring without success to
capture.
The work Of the chief Intermediates
Archbishop Clune of Perth. western Aus
tralia. and Bishop Fogarty Of Killaloe
is proceeding with the utmost secrecy. and
It is not considered likely that either Will
consent to make a statement to the press
until the negotiations are we'll advanced
There is intense interest in the move
ments OF Eamon de Valera. and in some
quarters 1t is believed not improbable
that he soon will arrive in Ireland.
Two Inonasteries were raided by the
military and police to-day. They arrest
ed two priests, one of them. Father Dom

ence MacSwiney. The other priest was
