liant function of the little season was
the jewels of Empire ball, which took
place at the Park Lane Hotel Wednes-
day. Its chief feature was q pageant OF
living jewels, In which go OF the most
beautiful women in society took part.
They not only wore the jewels they were
impersonating' but their dresses: mad

The outstanding figure of the pageant
was Miss Gertrude Lawrence. who. as a
black psarl, wore q gown of pearl
tinted velvet, with dozen magnificent
silver fox skins adorning the draperies.

PARIS, December Premier Tar
deus call for a real working, financial

and the United States, made in q
Thanksgiving day address before the
American Club, has aroused nationwide
interest.
1t is observed that while French
statesmen of other days have sought

as circumstances suggested, Premier
Tardieu appears to have thrown his
force. particularly in working out what
might be called a non-political agree
ment, with the American Republic.
Friends of Tardieu pictured him as
not having any great interest at pres

he deems that France and the United
States have before them the more press

ills and the necessity of putting on their
feet nations which are being crushed by
disturbances, economic laws and by over
production of raw materials.
Tardieu welcomes the exercise Of
American political influence in Europe
because he is convinced it Is disinter-
estedly beneficial.

Terre Haute, TT. Wayne and Ev-

although in each city there was still
reported a surplus of unemployed

It is significant, however, that
overtime schedules have not been
reported from the state for a year.
while production schedules were
increased and slight gains in en-
ployment occurred in several indus
tries says the Indianapolis survey,
Operations in a number of plants
and factories were still restricted
and considerable part time employ
ment prevailed. The demand for
skilled mechanics increased. EN-
ployment in the hosiery mills con-
tinued on a fairly satisfactory ba-
sis
No change was reported in the
great steel plants of the Gary
region, but automobile factories
throughout the state we're speedec
up in answer to the normal sea
sonal demand for new models.
Overtime schedules were operative
in the flour milling, metal producti
and automobile accessory plants O.

showed a marked improvement over
conditions reported in August a11c

production. FIT. Wayne also reported
night forces in several hosiery mills
Indiana conditions generally were
in line with reports for the coun-

seasonal squirt was widely fell

was not quickened quite as much al

Warning to Indiana university
officials against possible Republican
reprisals on the university appro-

Mutt curbs his Democratic, campaign
activities was said today to- have
been the subject of a conference
between Governor Harry G. Leslie
and Secretary John CGavens of the
university at Bloomington earlier in

McNutt launched a broadside
against the Republicans over the
radio Wednesday night and Leslie,
returning to his Office at the state
house today, denied that he was
interested in the matter.
He said that he did talk over the
university budget with Cravens, as
he intends to do with other state
institution officials. McNutt was
mot officially" mentioned, the Gov
ernor declared.
Cravens Takes Similar Stand
Cravens had previously taken a
similar stand. Asked by The Times
whether Leslie had talked about
McNutt's activities in the campaign
and warned of its effect on the uni
versity budget, he declared:
I'VE talked only casually about
such things"
McNutt is dean of the Indiana
law school. Leslie was said to have
pointed out that this was a full
time job and he should stick to it.
"Of course that's true, but it
wasn't my business at that con-
ference with Cravens," he told The
Times today.

That McNutt intends no curtail-

came apparent when he told The
Times today:
I'm not giving. up my rights as
an American citizen and don't in

singularly free from political in
reference and not the slightest
pressure has been exerted upon me
from that source. One is still a cit

of citizenship.

Governor has commented on my
