FORMER KAISER
PERHAPS LAUGHS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. Is
"The ex-Kaiser in Holland must en-
joy sitting back $nd laughing at the
manner in which the politicians of
America are treating the ex-service
men who smashed his formidable
military machine" DR.. Kate Waller
Barrett, national president of the
American Legion Auxiliary, said at a
recent meeting of the Indianapolis
Service Club.
DR.. Barrett urged a payment of
the country's debt to the World War
fighter before consideration of the
ship subsidy and other purely com
mercial measures before Congress.
'TIet America straighten itself out
and re-establish the true democracy
said Dr. Barrett. Democracy is the
spirit of God. Before we attempt
propagandiZe democracy abroad we
must be sure that it's spirit exists in
democracy at hme-with our chill
dren, our servants. We Americans
are fascinated by slogans, but often
times do not look for the truth be-
| hind the slogans, accepting their
statements as literally true without
investigation"
The American who fought over
seas is the best authority on inter-
national questions, the Auxiliary
leader stated, because he has come
| in contact with the people, them
selves, instead of the diplomats and
! politicians. During their period
abroad the American fighters learned
| to appreciate the many advantages of
America. according to DR.. Barrett.
| Declaring that within the next few
! years, the veterans of the World War
would be called upon to assume the
| leadership in this country, DR.. Bar
rett urged that ex-service men pre-
| pare themselves for their duties
which, she stated would be fulfilled
as they have never been by the pro
fessonal politicians.
DIR. Barrett and Miss Bess 3. Weth
erholt national secretary of the
| American Legion Auxiliary, were
among the first women guests of the
Indianapolis Service Club, which is
composed of ex-service representa-
tives of various professions and com
mercial organizations.

SCIENTIST FINDS RARE
BONES in BAD LANDS

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Fragment-
airy evidence OF unclassified prehis-
tor;c rodents and reptiles has been
found by Albert Thompson, paleont-
ologist, in the ranchlands of Ne
braska. where in former years re-
search workers have uncovered the
remains of mastodons, rhinoceroses,
giant camels. alligators, dwarf horses
and other queer beasts.
The bones OF the strange animals
were uncovered on a ranch in Sioux
county while Mr. Thompson, who is a
member of the archaeological re-
search staff of the American Museum
Of Natural History, was searching for
skeletons of three-toed dwarf horses.
Mr.. Thompson began the study of
paleontology while employed as a
cowboy in the Dakota Bad Lands
more than 30 years ago. He was
especially interested in the remains
OF the three-toed horse and other
types of beasts OF the same family.
In the interest of this work he
went to Nebraska early last sum-
mer. Aided by several students he
began digging in a channel bed that
appeared to be rich in bones of all
sorts. He found bits of the dwarf
horse, of the alligator and of other
animals, and then he came upon
pieces of skulls the character of
which was new to him.
He delved further in an effort to
uncover complete skeletons. His
student helpers returned to their
schools and he kept on alone, but
had no further success
Bad weather finally set in and Mr.
THOMPSON was compelled to abandon

Budget Of Sweden New
Promises Good Por6ts

STOCKHOLM. Dec. 2S.-The vari-
Gus departments of the Swedish gov
eminent are concerned just now with
the preparation of the 1923-24 budget
and SURPRISES are expected in many
directions, according to information
received by the Minister OF Finance
The customs service reports that
the duties on imports flor the next
fiscal year will total about $28,000,.
900, which is a slight increase over
the present year. The postal de-
partment, already profitable. will SO
continue, 1t is said, and show a sur.
plus Of about $1.600.00O. while the
department OF telegraphs is expected
to take in 100000 more than it ex.
ponds.
The state railways, with the excep-
ton of the ore-carrying roads, expect
a surplus OF about $8,S00,00O. This
figure will be cut, however, by the
deduction for the increase in wages
which will continue at a rate not now
determined for several months dur.
ing the next fiscal year. The state
railways which serve the iron mines
by carrying ore expect to realize
about per cent on the invested
capital.
A total of 100000 is expected
from the government monopoly in
tobacco. while $2,50O.0OO, it is be-
lieved. will be realized from the sale
by the state Of waterpower and cleo
tricity. Another $2.O00.0o0 is looked
for from the State Domains Depart.

OLD LONDON BUILDINGS
NEED CONSTANT CARE

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-A wood-bor
ing grub is threatening to destroy
many of the ancient architectural
wonders of London. The grub first
made its appearance in large mum
bers some 10 years ago, and had
done much damage to the wood sec.
tions of historic buildings before its
presence was discovered.
The insects already had eaten into
the roof supports of old Westminster
Hall, which dates from the time OF
King William Rufus, and royal
architects and engineers were at
once set to work to remove the de-
cayed parts and substitute iron work

Unite for Pure Food

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 28.-A hall
mark of purity and excellence on
goods for home consumption has
been established by the Swedish
National Housewives Association, ac-
cordng to Mrs. Agnes Ingelman,
president of the Association. Mrs.
Ingelman states that the Associa
ton for years has been working to
secure the best merchandise for the
homes, subjecting different products
offered to scientific purity and quail
ity tests. The Government Testing
Bureau, as well as the Domestic
Science School at Upsala, have now
placed themselves at the disposal of
the Association.
This guarantee mark on household
provisions, groceries, and supplies
will be granted only to those manu-
facturers whose goods pass the tests,
and on condition that they place this
mark on all their goods guaranteed
hereunder. Periodically the goods
are subjected to new tests to ascer-
tain whether the standard is being
kept up. In case the merchandise
proves to have deterioriated the
manufacturer is Immediately noti-
fed, and if he then fails to bring
the goods up to specifications his
right to use the guarantee mark of
the Association is cancelled, and the
fact that he has been deprived of
this privilege is published

The innate sense of coquetry of
Frenchwomen is at the base Of 1t,
no doubt, for this makes them real:
ize that. asa rule, the first thing
a man looks at when summing up
a woman is her ankles, and they
desire to show those off at their
best.
While skirts were SO short the
vamps of shoes were short, too,

skirts have been definitely length
ened, vamps have been heightened
also, to fit in with the new line
and the change is all for the bet.
ter. In place of the round. short
vamps. shoes are now made on a
slim last that forms a graceful line
and ends in a pointed toe. Al
though probably longer than the
short -vamped shoe, the cut of this
new model has been SO studied that
the foot actually looks much small
er than it does in its predecessor,
and even IL 1t did look longer, the
increased effect of elegance and
grace would certainly be consider
ed sufficient compensation. The
toe of the new form is not exces-
sively pointed, although there Is a
great difference between 1t and the
stubby toe.
Partisan bottiers have also de-
cided to call into force the old
fashioned fantasy of buckles. Their
shops are crowded with an alluring
display of buckles in every shape

indefinite scroll designs, there are
new ones which are delightful
