THE BALLET GIRL

The Ballet Girl" Who is she?
What is she?
What is the life Of these dainty
darlings of the state when they doff
their little haring skirts and tights
and pass through the stage door into
the every day world.
Always a fascinating subject, life
behind the scenes is revealed in a
more absorbing manner in this great
picture than ever before. The story
deals with the life of one of those
who must, to the public, ever wear
the mask of gayety and vivacity no
matter if the heart is breaking.
The story tells how Jennie. the
daughter Of once famous dancer,
turns to the stage impelled by the
instincts of inheritance; how she
finds false love and true; how she
meets and conquers the temptations
OF those who prey upon the weak and
defenceless and how. after knowing
great sorrow and suffering, she comes
ut last into her own share of life's
happiness.
1t is sympathetic and powerfully
appealing picture, beautifully played
by two noted stars. Alice Brady and
Holbrook Blinn, and a large cast of
film favorites.
The Ballet Girl and a Base Ball
Comedy will be presented at the
Lyric Theatre Friday April 9th.

FLOOD CONTROL BILL
Congressman Riley J. Wilson
Gives Distinctive Features
Of the Flood Control Bill.

MS III" dulIOI ILeS the eSpenul-
ture by the Federal Government Of
$40, 100000 estimated to cover a
period Of five years, for controlling
the floods en-. and the general i'm
provement Of the Mississippi River,
from the head of the passes to the
mouth of the Ohio River, $50, 000, 900
of which is estimated for leyees and
SIS, 10000 for bank revetment.
To the $50, 100000 provided by
the government for levee construc-
ton, the state and levee districts
constituting the local interests are to
add one-half of that amount Of
SIS, 100000. The local interests are
also to furnish the rights OF way.
and to provide for maintenance after
the levees are completed.
Bank revetment and channel inn
provement are to be carried on
exclusively by the Federal Govern
ment. The estimate for this purpose
during that period, as before stated
being SIS, 100000.
! The law provides for a survey of
the Atchafalaya, to determine the
cost of protecting its basin, either by
its enforcement from the Mississippi
River, or other means. This is
new and forward step of much i'm
portance. and my own opinion is that
this will result in the enforcement of
the Red and Atchafalaya Rivers from
the Mississippi River. A close study
of the question has convinced me
that majority of the engineers
who have studied this problem hold
the view that enforcement is the
proper thing to be done for the
solution Of this problem. This would
insure safety to the people in the
Atchafalaya Basin. as well as those
in the lower Tensas Basin, and along
the Red. Black, Ouachita and Little
Rivers, and all at very limited
expenditure. The amount of land
reclaimed and protected by the d.
vorcement would be more than
100000 acres and without any
interference with commerce, as the
route from points on the Red, Qua
chita Little and Tensas Rivers to New
Orleans is shorter down the Atcha-
falaya and through the Plaquemine
Locks than it is down the Mississippi.
There is a further provision for
excluding flood waters from the
upper limits of delta basins. This
provision should insure the protec-
! ton of the Tensas Basin from the
food waters Of the Mississippi that
now come through the incomplete
levee system at the mouth of the
Arkansas River. and also give pro-
lection to the western portion of the
Fifth Levee District.
1t is estimated by the engineers
that $45, 100000 spent under the
continuing contract system should
avail as much as $50, 900 spent
under the piece-meal system as pro-
vided in former River and Harbor
Bills.
Heretofore the local interest have
contributed on the average, 81 to SO
by the Federal Government, or ap-
proximately sol 900, 900 in all by the
local interest to $3O.OO0,0OO by the
Federal Government. Under this bill
the Federal Government will contri-
butte 81 for each 81 furnished by the
local interest.
The bill further provides the ma
chinery for an examination into all
other flood problems in the United
States.

Editor Industrial Worker
 Dear Sir:-May I ask space to make brief reference to MT. M. O. Solberg's statement in this morn- ing'S issue?
 By reason of MT. Solberg's pre- eminent position in the democratic council his observation extends further and penetrates to greater depth than those of ordinary De- 1nocrats and so it is that tom cod holes and submarines are quite within his range of vision. Since he gave us a birds eye view of de- mocratic antics many entertain the hope that he will in due time throw wide the portals of the party fold and permit the rays of Jeffer sonian sunlight to enter.
 MT. Solberg tries to convey the in- occupies the same low plane as that of the Dimond from Valdez. This is wholly misleading as the record will show. Donahoe's candidacy was not tainted with political intri- que nor despicable efforts to inti- midate or coerce democrats who were opposed to certain candidates. It was not hedged about by pledges or promises to henchmen of any faction nor were instructions re-

ceived from distant localities 'to put him through. MT. Donahoe,s can didacy was supported by democrats who could not eat the mess of crow offered by the opposition. His SUD- port was inspired as protest agains party qualification. MT. Sol- berg may not hark back to other days and thus may never suffer the bangs of political remorse and shame.
 The sponsor for the Dimond mo- imitation is the ardent and active supporter of a certain candidate for the bench. Tt is said" that his ambitious soul yearns for the quiet shelter of the Courthouse and that he has periodical visions of the grandeur of the Clerks Office. By a spasmodic flourish of the Big Stick he brought forth the Dimond from the Sky, and thus by his magic power made two endorsements where before there was but one. It may be that he is a rival politi- cian", but many consider his poli- tics of doubtful caliber.
 May I suggest to my venerable friend Solberg that the next time he visits a democratic oracle that he choose one can impart genuine democratic inspiration.
 Respectfully
 THOMAS M'GANN.

S3OO,OOO,O0O IN
 US. INCOME TAXES
 EXPECTED THIS YEAR
CBy Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. March l3.-Prcll- minary reports to the treasury de partment indicated the government will collect $3OO.OO0,0O0 in income taxes during the current fiscal year, or about two and one half times as much as during the preceding l2 months. Internal revenue receipts are expected to exceed $7OO.OOO.000. an in crease of nearly S200.000,000.
 The time for filing income returns expired March l. Most of the in crease is due to the higher rate of taxation. Collections actually made up to the present aggregate about S25. 100000 or S7.000.000 more than was collected this time last year The governments tax of munitions will net approximately S40.O00. .00G il is thought while for the few months of the fiscal year during which the former emergen- cy tax law was in effect the returns will approximate $25.O00.00O on mis cellaneous items affected by the tax
 From the ordinary sources of in ternal revenue-whiskey. beer. tobac- co and olemargarine-it is estimated the tax this year will approximate s350. 100000, the greatest total in the history of the department. The su- preme courts decision sustaining the Webb-KenyOn law will cause a diminu tion, it is assumed in the returns from whiskey and beer although thus far tho tav collected is considerably higher than last year A total of S357,- 900 900 has been collected from in- ternal revenue of all sorts from the beginning of the fiscal year up to the present time. This is approximately $250. 900. 900 more than last year.
