FAMOUS STORY AT THE
AUDITORIUM TOMORROW

Amongrel dog will show sometimes
yellow when cornered, even though he
may be housekeeping pet in a jew
eled collar and suede blanket.
Psychologists say that the same
rule often applies to mongrel man.
Money, education and social posi-
ton cannot completely wash away the
saffron stain. 1t will crop out.
Paul Potter, the athletic idol of
Yale, was a striking example of this
truism. He left college to earn his
living that he might marry Sylvia Cas-.
tie. When old man Castle wrecked
his bank and died in disgrace Potter
thought he was of too fine an old CO.
lonial stock to stand by the girl.
So she went alone to San Francisco.
and found work in restaurant. And
Potter, polished in slime of pseudo
responsibility, forgot the girl until he
became so badly involved with won.
en- that he sought her out as refuge.
What happened thereafter is wildly
depicted at the Auditorium Theatre
tomorrow in "a Little Brother of the
Rich" a Universal photodrama with
an all-star cast, featuring Frank Mayo,
j. Barney Sherry and Kathryn Adams.

THE CONTRAST

(By r. A. Ward.)
Birth is the entrance to a conscious
life,
It's path may lead to joy, or end in
strife.
Death ends the record of our pass
ing years,
That we are spending in this "vale
OF tears"
No choice of ours decides the time or
place
When begin or end life's earthly
race;
No voice is heard to tell us of the
doom
OF those who pass beyond the silent
tomb.
No wonder, then, that we should feel
thrill,
As we behold the dead, so calm and
still;
We should repress our doubts and
fears and gloom,
For light shines forth from Joseph's
borrowed tomb.
I am the Resurrection and the Life"
Should drive away our anxious fears
and strife,
He who gave to us life's fieeting
breath,
Revives our sleeping dust, though
cold in death.
Death is blessing in disguise,
To fit us for our home beyond the
skies.
Continued life, with sickness, grief
and pain,
Is worse than death, without a hope
Of gain.
Through its silent portals, earth's
millions flow,
Beholding glories, that we long to
know;
And only those who view the other
side,
Can realize the joys that will abide.
What mysteries there are in Life and
Death
From whence did we obtain our feet
breath!
What wondrous visions will our eyes
behold,
When we shall view the streets Of
shining gold?
The only answer-Gods unchanging
word,
Which gives US glimpses Of our great
| reward. @tf
II we ignore this glorious, heaven
sent light, =
Death may reveal to us an endless
night.

Today is Farmers Day, but there
's no evidence that anybody has been
aware Of it except that the banks
have been closed. Just what one does
on Farmers Day is not clear, and
the farmers seem to know less about

should say that every day is Farmers

The first is the necessity for the estab-

"Second-The development Of an op-

I'VE may predict with confidence that
The New York-TorontO route is destined
10 become one OF North Americas great
highways OF commerce. This would be
true II for no other reason than that
trade inevitably follows a trail which
has been safely opened by pioneers.
In response TO inquiries from vari-
Gus points along the New YOrk-TorontO
route, we recommend the immediate
expansion Of major landing fields at the
following points: New York city. Al
bany. Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buff
falO and Toronto.
The only accident which marred the
recent race occurred at Albany. where
the field was found to be entirely in
adequate, poorly placed and in no con-
dition TO handle even occasional ma
chimes.
The route between New York and
Toronto IS something over 500 miles in
length. We recommend the establish
ment OF three or four cardinal landing
fields. over such a route. In between,
nc distances from p to 30 miles apart.
there should be emergency landing

DRY Law Requires
ARMY OF SLEUTHS

WASHINGTON, sept. i2,-The Pro-
hibition Enforcement law, now in the
last stages OF enactment will fan like
a wet blanket on the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue. which is charged with carry
ing out It's provisions. Il Is estimated
by government "moonshine" hunters
that it will require three times as many
men as the measure provides for, and
at least siO0OOO00 annually to enforce
federal prohibition.
The bill provides. that "the Commits
sioner OF Internal Revenue and the At
torney General OF the United states are
respectively authorized TO appoint and
employ such assistants. experts. clerks
and other employees and TO purchase
such supplies and equipment as they
may deem necessary for the enforce
ment OF the provisions OF this act" For
this purpose s3,5OO,OOO is TO be apprO-
prialcd.

time Is not far distant when flying
routes will literally be block-signaled
by the radio telegraph or the radio
telephone. Radio stations will be es-
tabllshed, not only at major control
pOiufs, but at emergency flying fields.
II will also make IL possible TO dis
patch airplanes for freight, passenger
or postal uses regularly. and we hope,
on schedule, much as trains are now
dispatched from the great passenger
terminals.
speaking from an engineering point
OF view, the New l0rk-TOronto race
demonstrated what manufacturers have
frequently claimed 10 be the case ;
namely, that the airplane, as such. be
cause OF its inherent strength, is prob
ably the safest vehicle in existence.
Most Of our difficulties at present come
either from means Of propulsion or
from embarrassment in landing fields" ."
Frank r. Russell, former president OF
the Manufacturers Aircraft Association,
I'm discussing the race. said:
"The race showed that certain things
must be done TO forward aviation. The
most important OF these Is something
which must be handled by the public
through the national or municipal gov
ernments. Landing fields must be estab-
lished, and established properly. and
the task OF getting adequate fields is a
public one.
THE recent race showed that 70 in
sure safe landing under all conditions
the fields must be large and free from
spectators. The 6OO-yard runway in at
least two directions and according to
prevailing winds required by govern
ment specifications is necessary.
THE time is ripe for a good roads
campaign for aircraft parallel to that
carried on for the automobile a few
years ago"

plan. fewer than 10 men can be added
to the regular revenue force already at
work in each State OF the Union. That
would mean an additional force OF 4sO

logger chasers for the nation.
IL is believed that It would require
more than that in New York city alone
to enforce the law effectively. Il IS es-
tlmated that 1900 additional field agents
would be nearer right than $50.
Commissioner Roper would not dis
cuss his plans. but 10 is understood that
on the day the President signs the Pro-
hibition bill a statement will be issued
from his bureau telling what efforts
will have TO be made TO enforce the

the $50,000,000 bond issue should
fail, he says, will be initiated
and good roads will be built um-
der its provisions.
The bill is Senate Bill No. 267,
Section 16, line 8, page Is of
the printed bill begins with the
following:
"Section 16. The commission
shall have authority to use the
convicts Of the state or Of any
county, with the permission Of
such country, in any highway
improvement work undertaken
in any county"
Organized labor has been fight
ing for years to prevent convict
labor from coming in competi-
ton with free labor. If there
were no other reason why or
ganized labor should be working
to its utmost to assure the sue
cess of the $50,000,000 bond is

other reasons), the provision OF

MONEY?

Oh April 3, before the board
Of governors Of The Oklahoma

he would choose such individuals
Of the highest type Of integrity
and business ability that the
very mention of their names
would be sufficient guaranty
to the people of the state OF the
proper expenditure of the $50,-
100000 dollar roads fund The
governor has mentioned the
names Of eighteen men and from
this list the road commission will
be selected These men are of the
|highest type Of citizenship in the
state and those who have slander-
ously intimated that graft is like
ly to creep into the administra-
ton Of the roads funds are by
this announcement silenced.
There are nine democrats and
nine republicans on the list.
This is a natural division, be
cause the commission must be
composed Of two democrats and
two republicans, with the gov
ernor as an additional member.
The democrats are as follows:

CONVICT LABOR ON ROADS.

Opponents to the $50,000OO0
bond issue by which a statewide
system of durable hard surfaced
roads is to be built in Oklahoma
have been setting up the claim
that the proposed constitutional
amendment does not protect or
ganized labor and that or
ganized labor will not be rccog-
nized when the work is to be
commenced. The State Fedora
tion of Labor has endorsed the
SO, 100000 bond issue and Ed
sar icnton, president of the state
federation, is one of the eigh-
teen men mentioned by Cover
nor Robertson as those from
whom he will appoint the com
mission which will supervise and
control the road work.
But it is not for these reasons
alone that members of organized
labor should take off their coats
and work for the success Of the
bond issue. II there were only
one reason for labor's active sup
port of the bonds that would be
sufficient. Opponents of the
bond issue offer as a substitute
program for building hard sur
faced roads and claim it can be
done without bond issue. Sen
