"sMALL TALK" IS IMPORTANT
Well Worth CuItIvatlng by Those to
Whom Its Possession Has
Been Denied.

The man who Is a failure at small
talk never quite hears what the girl
he is talking to has to say. He Is
trying TO think what he Is going to say
next, so of course he cannot fall to
misunderstood what the girl he is talk
Ing to says. He Is needless, abstract
ed, worried and hns a way Of listening
to the conversation of others rather
than to those at hand.
The girl whom men regard as
good talker is always ready with
laugh, and the girl who laughs well is
always popular. One can excuse the
girl who giggles IL she glggles In a
way that makes others merry and
seems to tell those with whom she
talks that they are entertaining her
immensely, that their stories are dell
clously funny-though they may be
very stupld-and that on the whole
she is enjoying herself and her COM
panions enormously.
GLOW should man start the con-
versation at a dancer" Is a frequent
query. There are 1000 ways and al
most any way Is good way provid-
ing 1t Is prompt and whole minutes of
agonizing silence do not slip before
anything is said. Little personal re-
marks that are not impertinent are
sure to win girls attention.
II was impatient for this dance"

dressed In old rose, whom he has met
for the first time that night. because

likes to wear"
The man who never seems to know
what to say to woman would say
something like this: II knew / had

there are so many girls In pink here,
and they all look alike to me so | was

Until the Stadium Is Built

THOR the second consecutive year Butler Col
L Iege has football team that makes Indian
apolis feel proud. Yes we can put it even
stronger than that-a football team that the city
has gone wild about. =
Last Saturday, when Butler won from Wa
bash, several thousand persons bought seats at
Irwin field and when they arrived at the playing
ground found that they had difficulty in finding
a place to stand and see much Of the contest.
Because of the rush of spectators DESTROYS of
witnessing the battle the ticket sale was stopped
and several hundred persons were refused admit
tance at the gate. Many Of these went around
and climbed the fence and added their presence
to the already overcrowded field. These would
have paid the gate fee, but, being denied that
privilege availed themselves Of the only other
opportunity of seeing the game.
Now Butler Colleges football team, by win
ming its present place in the hearts of IndianapO
lis folk, has become the football team Of all In
dianapolis 1t is only fair to the thousands who
have become Butler fans this year that they be
permitted to attend Butler games. Irwin field, as
was demonstrated last Saturday, will not accom-
nodate all who want to see Buffers big games.
There is one playing field where much larger
crowd could be accommodated-Wash
Park-and this ground should be made available
for Butler football at a nominal cost. It viii seat
1900 persons, and all of them can see the game.
The added expense incident to the use OF
Washington Park should be taken care of by the
added paid attendance-the crowd that goes IN
Irwin field over the fence would help pay it.
Notre Dame is coming here to play Butler two
weeks from next Saturday The game likely will
interest more people than the Wabash tilt. Why
not make it easy for all the spectators possible to
see this worth while battle?

Republic Movement Strong in
Ancient Nation to Abolish
Monarchy.

LONDON, Nov. 1 UNITED Press).-
VIII Greece be the next Republic?
The movement to abolish 'monarchs
and princes was never so strong
among the Greeks as it is today.
Centuries before Christ, the ancient
Greek cities adopted the republican
form Of government and were prob
ably the first communities to
recognize the justice Of popular con-
troll
When the eighteenth century opened
there was only one republic in Europe,
the tiny Helvetic League. which gov
/ erned Switzerland. When the nine
| teenth century came, France had be-
} come a republic. There were also
several other smaller limitations Of
the French Commune, which did not
survive their infancy.
At the beginning Of the twentieth
century. France and Switzerland alone
retained republican governments. The
war brought about a startling trans
formation
Within the short space Of two years,
thirteen new republics were added to
the worries Of the old world diplomats.
They are: Germany, Russia Austria
Czecho- Slovakia, Poland, Esthonia,
Latvia, Ldthuania, Hungary, Portugal.
Ukraine Albania and Finland, be-
sides France and Switzerland
The actual number of separate re-
pubHcs is greater than this inasmuch
as Baden, Bavaria and other German
states are republics, though still
Tart of the German republic.
Few Of these nations are at present
economically or politically powerful,
but their potential influence on Europe
Is tremendous.
They spread out over approximately
seven-minutes of the total area Of Eur
ope. and their combined populations
are moro than two and one-half times
that Of the United States.
With the exception of Great Britain
and Italy there are no great powers
in Europe with monarchial govern
nents.

He had skipped lightly in the bright sunshine
all through the long summer days. Scarce a
thought of the coming chill winter entered his
giddy head. He was having the time of his young
life. And if worse came to worst, his industrious
neighbor, the ant, was thrifty and had wealth

he would borrow, or beg.
And so when Novembers cold slowed up his
hopping legs the grasshopper called at the ants

pail during the autumn days has made it more
