HARDING PLANNING
SWEEPING CHANGES
Studying Plan to Reorganize Many
Departments and Bureaus

St. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 24.-As
President-elect Harding completes
formation of his cabinet he is giving
increasing attention to the first big
administrative task he will under
take as president-the reorganza-
ton of the executive machinery of
the government.
1t is known that Mr.. Harding has
in mind sweeping changes in many
of the governments departments
and bureau, and that he expects to
enlist in the work of reorganizing
some of the ablest administrators
he can find. He is understood to
have told some of his advisors that
he regards the chairmanship of the
reorganization commission as a post
virtually. on a par with a cabinet
portfolio. Congress already has Gre
ated committee to work out plan
for simplification of the executive
branch with a view to preventing
duplication of work and cutting
down the government payroll. 1t is
expected that this committee will
work in close cooperation with the
reorganization agency to be ap-
pointed by Mr.. Harding, though the
latter body will be able to give it's
undivided attention to the task and
to make more exhaustive study of
conditions than would be under
taken by members of congress.
Some mention of the reorganization
project is expected in Mr.. Harding's
inaugural address and it is possible
that some enabling legislation may
be requested of the special session
of congress that is to meet in April.
The first six months of the new ad-
ministration probably will see the
preliminary study well under way,
thought it may be much longer be-
fore definite recommendations can
be formulated.
One of the biggest innovations TO
be proposed will be the establish
ment of separate department of
public welfare, for which Mr.. Hard
ing outlined his plans in a general
way during the campaign.
A division of industrial research is
to be builded up, possibly taking
over some of the present functions
of the bureau of foreign and domes-
tic commerce, to make a compara-
tive study of prices and industrial
conditions throughout the world. It
is believed it will be possible on the
other hand to abolish entirely some
of the existing subdivisions of the
executive departments or at least to
combine them with other agencies
now duplicating a large part of their !
work.

THE SCHOOL PLAY
The Entertainment Given by Children
OF the Graded School at Opera
House Friday Night Was
Splendid Success-Neat
Sum Realized

The entertainment given at the
Opera House Friday night by the ch'l-
aren of the Graded School was sue
sess from every point of view. Eael
teacher had her grade well trained
for its part. All the fond parents, in
terested aunts and uncles and friends
were on hand to see the show and put
up fifty cents cheerfully to do it.
Every child looked it's best and took
its part with an enthusiasm which
could not be surpassed.
Every seat in the house was taken
long before the performance was to
eegin and friends stood patiently for
two hours to see the children act.
In the Tom Thumb wedding the
parts were taken by children of the
first grades, the boys looking hand
some in their dress suits and the girls
lovely in their long dresses, shower
bouquets and high head dress. Sarah
NcItfer made a lovely little bride,
while Albert Gillian, the groom look
ed just like he was getting married.
Claude Harrison, who sang 81 Love
You Truly" proved himself capable
of taking Caruso's place.
In Bonny Bell the principle parts
were taken by Mona Tutt, Susan Min
shall, Mable Bradley, Martha Calvert,
James Fulp, Jr. and Sam Shiver, Jr.
The princes looked very princely,
Susan, Martha and Mable looked very
grown-up in their long frocks, while
Mona TUFTS lovely voice charmed the
entire audience. In the fairy scene
the little folks wore bright colored
dresses, tinsel gauze wings and 'tinsel
ornaments. Charlotte Reese made a
graceful fairy queen.
There is a great-future before the
little Swetenburg girl, Mary Louise
Benton and young "Buddie' Nc
Cuen, the all star cast in the Bobby
Shaftoe scene. \.
The Betsy Ross pantomine was
most attractive scene, Betsy as acted
by little Ann Smith being we'll done,
while Roy Gilleland, as George Wash
ington proved himself young man
Of fine voice and splendid appear
ance. He was ably supported by Will
liam Henry Hill and William Nickles.
The flag drill with which the enter
tainment closed, by members of the
seventh grade, was fine feature.
The girls were dressed in colonial
costumes with face patches and pow
dered hair while the boys wore wigs,
lace collars and slippers with buckles.
They sung "My Country Tis of Thee"
and the flag was let down as a drop
curtain behind the drill. . This drill
vas arranged by Miss Lown and Miss
Hill and was a credit to them.
$241 was taken in at the door. The
proceeds will be used for the benefit
of the school.

Tariff Bill is
abandoned as
Session Ends
Peace and Tax Revision Only
TIOO of Tasks Congress
Completes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The etra
session Of Congress will complete only
two of the major tasks in its program as
announced by President Harding, 1t now
appears.
These are peace and tax revision. With
about twenty working days of the PRES
ent session remaining strong pressure
will have to be put behind the tax bill In
order to have a conference report APP
proved by both houses, but leaders are
determined to do this.
Permanent tariff legislation has been
definitely abandoned at this session. The
outlook is dark for enactment of the rail-
road funding bill and the measure for re-
funding the foreign debt at this session.
Passage Of the compromise bill by the
Senate Is expected today, just one week
behind the time Bxed by Republican lead
ers for its final enactment. Republican
insurgents were ready to hold 1t up II
the compromise provisions demanded by
the agriculture bloc are modified in con-
ference.
Operating under q ten-minute speech
limit the Republican leaders expect to
make short work of the simmons Walsh
Mcclellan proposals for payment OF the
soldier bonus from interest on the Tor
eign debts. With the tax bill disposed
of, Senate leaders have agreed to give the
anti-beer bill the right of way. Drys are
determined to invoke the gag rule II
necessary to Jam it through. Vets are
prepared to resist to the end and long
fight is in prospect
President Harding wishes the railroad
refunding bill passed at this session ana
Republican leaders may be forced to
withdraw the beer bill.

REDCROSS WILL
OPEN DRIVEO
ARMISTICE DAY
Campaign for New Members
Will Be Started Friday by
Indianapolis Chapter.

Announcement was made today that
plans are being perfected for the annual
Red Cross roll call or membership cam
paign by the Indianapolis chapter OF
the American Red Cross to be officially
opened on Armistice day. Nearly $4,000
members were enrolled in the campaign
last year and it is hoped by tho CAM
paign managers that far greater mum
Der will be enrolled in this years can-
paign.
According to the announcement the city
will be divided into i've general divi-
sions with a campaign manager in charge
Of each division. The mile square" In
the downtown district will be one division
and the other divisions will be the north
south, east and west. sides. Workers will
be named for each ward and precinct In
the city and booths also will be estab-
nshed in the mile square" district.
Mrs. Wolf Sussman will be the cam
paign manager in the mile square divi'
sion," it was announced today. Mrs.
Sussman already has opened headquarters
in the Christ Church parish house on
Monument Circle and Meridian street.
The chief appeal in the campaign Will
be the work the Red Cross has done and
is now doing for ex-service men and
their dependents who are In need. This
work is not being duplicated by the
Government or any other agency and
thousands of former service men are re-
ceiving aid.
William Fortune. president Of the In
dianapolis chapter OF tho Red Cross Is
sued a statement concerning the COM
ing membership campaign in which he
pointed out that Armistice Day, when
the campaign will be officially opened
throughout the United States, also Is be-
coming universally recognized as REQ
Cross Day.
What more appropriate time could
there be for substantial expression OF
the helpful spirit of the American peo-
ple7" Mr.. Fortune said.
I'm preparing for another Of the annual
Red Cross membership campaigns, men
and women active In Red Cross Work
throughout America rely on the public
to understand that every Red Cross APP
peal is born Of necessity" Mr.. Fortune
said. 1.-THE work Is so important that
the efforts Of the organization must be
continued.
During the last two years the demand

BEST MEANS TO
PREVENT WARS
Representative Kahn, How
ever, Hopes for Success of
Harding Arms COnfab.

Advocating preparedness as the best
means Of preserving peace but at the
same time urging HIS hearers to pray for
the success of the conference on the liml-
tation of ornaments, julius Kahn OF Call
fornia. chairman Of the Committee on
Military Affairs in the National House OF
Representatives, addressed meeting IN
the tenple Of the Indianapolis Hebrew
congregation last night.
81 do not like war any more than any
body else but I do know the one way
this country can continue IN peace Is
TO be prepared for any emergency that
NAV confront the American people, he
said. Therein lies our strength. II the
rest of the world finds out we have ade-
ouate defenses they Will let US alone for
all time. Nations are like highwaymen
every nation is trying to get the best
there is for itself and citizens. am
not fooling myself I quit doing that
long time ago. We were actually IN
the war only about six months and II
took US thirteen months Of the nineteen
months Of the state Of war to get ready.
Mr.. Kahn then went on to tell OF the
cost of war and declared that Is why
he wished to prevent war II he could
He said there Is no fear Of trouble with
Japan since Japan has seen what the
United States could do in war.
In the beginning OF his talk Mr.. Kahn
referred to Henry Ford and his attack
upon the Jews and asked Ills audience
to pay no attention to him.
Rabbi Morris NJ Feuerlicht denounced
Mr.. Ford as an "opulent ignoramus who
tried to impugn the patriotism Of the
Jews as a class"

for Red Cross assistance in dealing With
the former service men has not dimin-
ished, and in the absehce Of other re-
lief agencies or governmental depart
ments to undertake what the Red Cross
is doing, it is probable that much OF
the effort of the Red Gloss for several
years to come must be devoted to the
task Of meeting the relief problems among
former soldiers and their dependents.
During the last year the Red Cross
has expended for this purpose nearly
double the amount derived by the chap
ter from memberships. To properly car
ry on this benevolent work among the
service men the Red Cross needs the
generous assistance Of all.
eve appeal not only for memberships
in the campaign which starts in a few
days, but for the active cooperation of
workers to assist in making the cam
paign a success"
Persons who are now members Of the
chapter must renew in order to hold
their membership In the organization for
another year. As usual, memberships
are sold for 81.

NATIONAL TXPENSES
STAGGERING.

people, who have to meet the nations
staggering bill Of expenditure-win I'M
derstand Just one thing about the arma-
ment conference. They will understand
the results that Will ensue from cutting
down our naval and military appropria-
lions II the American delegation
goes into the conference uncom-
promisIngIy determined to achieve
such purpose, the people Will
feel they have been genuinely represented.
II such a result is unattainable7-if other
nations insist upon continuing the race In
armaments-America VIII at least have
exposed where the guilt lies. In my own
judgment, it is the competition in arma-
ment that breeds war. History, If I am
not mistaken, will say that 1t was pri-
marily rivalry in naval armament that
produced the World War. If the breed
ing cause Of war, therefore, is to be per-
petuated, America will know that its
duty is, and it will not faH 20 do it."
Senator Borah, like most weli-informed
persons in Washington, has heard of two
major propositions to which it ia under
stood the United States will lend Its sup
port at the conference One is the sta
bilizatiOn" OF China under some system
of information cooperation, and the ex-
tension Of some sort Of security to France
against German aggression other than
the AnglO-American treaty which the
United States Senate ignored.
NO ONE EXPECTS
FRANCE TO DISARM.
1.-THE country wouldn't go along with
the administration" said Senator Borah,
Gin incalculable commitments either in
China or France. As to the Far East,
I do not think it either within our
province orswithin our capacity to pre-
vent the logical expansion Of Japan. We
might as well have attempted a hundred
years ago to arrest the growth Of the
British empire. AS to France, she should
never have been invited to attend the
Washington conference. Nobody can ex
pect France to disarm unless security
TO take the place Of her land ornaments
can be offered her. Everybody knows
that no such security ever can or will
be offered by the United States in treaty
form; and France will hardly be salts
fed with a tOwn-meeting resolution pre-
tending to guarantee her national safety.
Italy is in the same position. The pO-
tentiaI cause Of another world war is to
be found in naval competition. The
Washington conference, therefore. should
have been confined to that subject. If we
can check naval building among the three
principal sea powers even for as brief an
interval as five years. the interval can be
employed IN stabilizing conditions in the
Far East and elsewhere, with some prac-
teal promise Of averting war which,
in my opinion, otherwise will ensue,
sooner or later, as inevitably as time
itself 1t is because the plain American
people are filed with anxious thoughts
of this kind that they hope and pray
their delegation at the Washington con-
ference will face the real issue-limitatio
Of naval srmament-face II manfully and
not be misled into irrelevent and transit
tory successes in other directions."-

FUEL

Sixty-three wholesalers and one hundred and
forty-three retailers are required to keep the
people of Indianapolis supplied with fuel.
Through the services of these dealers nearly
100000 tons of coal and COKE with retail value
of over three and half million dollars, are
dumped into indianapolis coal bins each year.
Nearly 5000 freight cars are required to trans
port this fuel from miras in Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Pennsylvania.
In addition $4,000 tons of coke are pro-
duced by the Citizens Gas Company of Indian
apolis each year. $4,000 tons of coal are re-
quired for this purpose. Some of this coke is
consumed in Indianapolis but much of it is
shipped to other cities.
