waned since Mr. Sunday left there, ac-

Mr.. Frank, Rev. Mr.. Sundays assist

Of the sports of that city.

State Inspectors Find Marshalltown
Concerns in Excellent Condition.
Messrs. Frank Bradley and Eward
w. Van Duyn, Of Des Moines, have
just completed a, thorough inspection
Of factory conditions in this city. MT.
Bradley is state inspector OF factories,
workshops and buildings. Mr.. Van
Duyn is commissioner Of the bureau
Of labor statistics. Their business has
to do primarily with the mechanical
status Of manufacturing plants. If there
is screw loose anywhere, or a defect
in any portion Of operating equipment,
or any portion Of an industrial plant
that is not fully provided with up-to-
date safe guards, these men are ex-
pected to detect the deficiencies and
correct them.
Messrs. Bradley and Van Duyn in
formed the Times-Republican that they
had found everything in exceptionally
good shape, particularly In the matter
Of factory equipment and sanitary con-
dttions of the city. They discovered
that the child labor law was not being
violated in any particular, condition
they warmly recommended and as
speaking well for the city. "A few rec
concentrations were made respecting
safeguards for some of the machinery
in local factories, but this is a require
ment that will easily be complied with.

BILLY" went to school in the first
grade in dive city's schools before he
got thru 1t, "said Mrs. Sunday. "Of
course he would get along much faster
if we could feel that we could be sep
arated from him and leave him in one
place, but we don't want to do that.
And besides, he is like other boys, he's
not overly anxious to go to school"

WALKER wHlTEslDE.
A Noted Actor to Visit the Odeon This


Week.
Mr.. Walker Whiteside who appears
at the Odeon Thursday night, April 30,
in Israel Zangwills great play 1.-The
Melting Pot" The play has scored a
most pronounced hit, in fact it is the
best play Of the season. Israel Fang
ideas regarding the Jewish problem,
and his solution for it.
In America the Jews and all other
people who find refuge here are in a
great crucible, "The Melting Pot"
where they are made into Americans.
The American is not yet, according to
ZangWill. He is coming and when he
comes what a man he will be! Nay,
not man, but superhuman. This is
the message and a much needed one in
these days of attempts of various ma
tionalities to cling to the old world and
it's differences, loves, hates, prejudices
and ideals.
| Intermarriage is only incidental. Yet
| it is the intermarriage in the play, the
| union between Jew and Gentle, which
stirred the fervent discussion in Jew
ish press and pulpit when the play was
message of the play is overlooked. The
fact Of the matter is "The Melting Pot
helps us to understand Zangwill. He is
not a nationalist. He could not con-
scientiously stay in the Zionist move
ment holding the opinions expressed
by David Quixano Nordau, the Zion
list complained that America saves
the man and kills the Jew" The DO
sition he occupies here draws him into
The Melting Pot" and America be-
comes his Zion. To Zangwill this is q
desirable thing.
AS you sit and watch the play can
you realize that its author is not an
American? Has he grasped the Amer
lean ideal? Does he not understand
the soul Of the immigrant who loves
America and worships her as the coun-
try Of man? Are there any immigrants
and particularly Jewish immigrants
who have not felt the way David does?
Has not everyone felt the things that
zangwill makes David say? Seats on
sale tomorrow at 10 a. NJ. Prices, 40
70, $1.00 and $3.50.

BOYS CHARM SNAKES

Lads Adopt Clever and Unique
Scheme to Slaughter ReptiIes-Lure
Them from the Holes With Violin
and Then Kill Then-Boys Capture
Twelve.
If you are boy and like to kill
snakes, get violin and club and go
to their haunts and get them. The plan
has been tried with success by two
West Main street boys. They have the
snake skins and witnesses to prove
their feat.
Armed with an old violin and clubs,
Hart, aged -, and John, aged 9, the
sons of Mr. and Mrs Walter S. Smith,
1903 West Main street, visited the
marshy land just north of Main and
west of Thirteenth street, which is not
far from their home.
Holding the, Violin over what they
thought was a snake hole they began
to scrape the instrument. The sound
it gave forth was not especially melo-
dious, but it had the desired result.
From out of the hole came a snake,
curious to see what was going on so
near at home. Another followed the
first. Both were killed. Then to 9TH
er holes the boys went, and the per-
Torrance was repeated. They kept this
up until they had killed twelve garter
snakes. Sometimes as high as three
came out of one hole. Two were two
and one-half feet long, and none was
shorter than eighteen inches.
The boys skinned the snakes and
have distributed them. Their girl
friends have benefited by the slaughter
and are wearing them for belts and
the boys find them suitable for neck
ties
