circular to the projects of the country
urging the workers to speed up pro-

The premier asked the projects to
call the attention Of the masses to the
grave danger threatening italy, which
was lacking in food, raw materials and

PLAN TO DIVERT
RAND SCHOOL AID
Attitude Of the Institution Fathsred
by Burlington People 10 Said to
be Cause Of This
Move.
FROM MRS. RAND's WILL
Money Has Supported Institution Ia
New York, Which ls Alleged to
BIO Un-Ameriean In Its
Teachings.

Keokuk people who IRE familiar
with the school and with the Rands
of Burlington will be interested In
the word that an attempt is being
made to divert the funds from the
Rand bequest which have been used
by the Rand School Of Social Science
in New York. The reason for the at.
tempt is the attitude Of the school
toward some of the problems of the
day, 1t is said.
A Burlington press dispatch pei
haps best tells the story of the at
tempt to change the bequest:
DR.. George d. Heron, writing
from Zurmatt, Switzerland, has asked
John j. F1emming. president OF the
Burlington Savings bank and trustee
for the estate Of Mrs. Caroline Rand.
formerly of Burlington, if there Is
anything that can be done to with
draw from the Rand School OF Social
Science, New York, the support CIV

pro-German and bolshevist attitude
OF the school. DR.. Heron also says
that were Mrs. Rand and her daugh-
ter, Carrie Rand, who became Mrs.

ing against the conduct Of the school
and denouncing the statement that
the war was a Capitalists war
which statement he declared to be
the .'doctrinaire of lunacy."
The bulk of the Rand estate is IN
Burlington and farm country sur
rounding. Under the terms of Mrs.
Rand's will. a certain percentage OF
the income derived from the estate
is to be turned yer to the Rand
School OF Social Science for its sup
port. Morris Hilquit, socialist candi-
date for a of New York, and
DR.. Heron are the trustees OF the
school. Mr.. Flemming said that
there is nothing for him to do but
continue turning over the money.

Permission TO change delivery
limits has been asked by the Ameri-
can Railway Express company in
memorandum TO the Iowa railroad
commission, and the interstate body.
Copies of the requests have been
forwarded to Keokuk. The present
limits for delivery are the corporate
limits of the city. The proposed
limits will include every factory, and
every paved street, and will take in
everything with the exception OF one
or two small stores in outlying dis
tricts, the express company claims in
its request
Special Agent e. M. Smith invest1-
gated conditions and conferred with
the local express company officials.
His report is that in including the
corporate limits the company does
mot have enough express business
to warrant the free collection and
delivery" In his recommendation
for changes, he writes "the proposed
limits include all paved streets and
all territory that is at all thickly
populated. 1t included every factory
in the city and all business houses,
except possibly me or two small
grocery stores in the outlying dis
tricts."
Certain territory wnere there IS
practically no express business would
be cut out, and there would be elm
mated some streets, which are prac-
tically impossible because they are
not macadamized, OF paved. There
is also said to be some Of the dis
tricts near the outskirts of town
where there is no business whatever,
and where the streets are low and
muddy certain times in the year.
The Iowa commission has written
to the Industrial association for its
views on the proposed change.
The letter explaining the request,
from the express company, shows
that in June the business done in
Keokuk amounted to something yer
1 100000.

1t often happens that in the TAX

"Ruling Passions" Depicts
All Human Emotions

In Ruling Passions, says Director
Schooner. "I have aimed to give the
public a clean and intellectual screen
entertainment. believe that art
should speak to the mind: that it is
to the mind alone that it should give
pleasure. II the entertainment seeks
to excite the senses, it ceases to be
an art and becomes a trade. 1t Is for
that reason that have tried to bring
into relief the human passions of hate
and love, revenge and mercy, as pas
sions of the soul and not as passions
of the body. It has also been my en-
deavor to describe the actions; that
is to say. have the characters ana
action of the plot unfold themselves
rather than have them explained
through titles"
Mr.. Schooner has carried this
through the entire thread of the story,
and his principal characters, as they
are played by Julia Dean and Edwin
Arden, are the pawns through which
he has brought to the screen one OF
the most delightful stories ever told.
