ON Child BILL
Senator Short Charges Bad

OF CHARITIES BOARD

Staf Correspondent.
STATE HOUSE. Dover, March 25.
Senator Short, who yesterday
morning had restored to the calendar
a bill relative to the placing out Of
children in this State from other
States, called the bill up for final
action yesterday afternoon.
The bill would require those plac-
ing out children to furnish a $4,000
bond and would protect the State
against sub-normal and feeble
minded children being placed in this
state. IL also carried an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 annually to carry out
the provisions OF the bill which
would be used largely in the employ
ment Of persons to visit and look
after the children and travelling OK
penses for such children.
When 1t came to reading the bill
II was learned that there was a sub
stitute to the bill cutting the appro-
priauon to $1,000. Senator Short
wanted to know where the substi-
tute came from. and said as intro
ducer OF the bill he knew nothing
OF IT and thought he should be in
formed when a substitute Is propos-
ed TO his bill It was brought out
that the substitute was made in the
revised statutes committee and that
IL was done because inquiry into the
matter convinced the committee
$4,000 was too much.
Miss Aida Armstrong, who repre-
sents the Childrens Bureau, which
bureau however receives no State
aid, was called on TO explain the bill
before the substitute was read. She
said she knew nothing Of the sub
stitute until she heard Il read but
remarked the $1,000 would be sat
isfactory to us"
Senator Shott remarked; Il ques-
ton the merit Of this bill now. Bad
faith has been shown by some one,
somewhere. II the first amount was
proper IL was wrong to reduce It,
and II $1,000 is enough It was wrong
TO ask for $1,000"
Miss Armstrong said she stated
that $1,000 would be satisfactory
because she knew how the Legisla-
tnre was trying to keep down appro-
priations. She said when $4,000 was
suggested It was expected that two
people would be employed to keep II
touch with the children placed out
in this State but that she had after.

JAZZ AND GRAND OPERA ARE RIVALS r KEITHS
Lyric Observes Ninth Btthdag-OLd FaUorte a Murat

Grand opera and jazz are having stiff
race at B. F. Keith's this week, where
Rae Samuels blues" the atmosphere
with jazz songs and Nine. Doree's opera
singers appear in scenes from famous
operas.
The last time saw Rae samuels, she
was at the ringside of the Dempsey
Carpenter hstic exhibition. She was
busy trying to influence her husband
that the Frenchman couldn't last very
long. Miss Samuels was right on that
hot July day and she was right last
night when she made an honest hit at
Keith's.
Miss Sam1els is known as "The Blue
Streak of Vaudeville and that properly
describes her. Her songs are naughty
but nice jazz Is her speciality and she
is a master at putting this kind OF en-
tertainment across. She retains her ia
nous chick song which is naughty
classic. Miss B. Walker Of Indianapolis
is pianist for Miss Samuels and she aids
in the success Of the star.
The other musical extreme Is the
grand opera offering of Nine. Doree and
her singers. 1t is so seldom that We get
any opera that these singers are more
than welcomed. This act deserves all the
praise heaped uron it last night by an
indianapolis audience. The hrst oherlhg
is the Venetian scene from 1.-The tales OF
Hoffman" and then follows the quartette
from "Rigoletto," "Ridi Paglfacci, aria
from la Traviata" and some old Ia
vorites. Here is an enjoyable act, splen-
didly presented. Not to be missed by
those who enjoy opera.
Remain in your seats for the last act
because the Dancing Kennedys hold this
spot on the bill. Here Is a danclngA act
with unususal beginning. Their special
ty is whirlwind dancing.
Personally I am getting tired OF the
sort Of entertainment offered by Edwin
George who attempts to do things that
have made some jugglers famous. bis
act IS similar to that OF an offering on

what the public wants. Miss Charlotte

tories and industrial plants Moreover, I
feel certain that In the future there will
be a large and growing demand for
dwellings especially the moderate priced
type.
When all our industries begin to get
back in operation, it will mean that the
great army Of workers must be housed
This win Of course bring about an even
greater demand for houses.
For these reasons l would advise any
one who is In building mood or is con-
tenlplating the erection of homes to get
to work at once. BY so doing it will be
possible for the home builder to have his
cement work completed before cold
weather sets in and the mill work can
then be put in place. In the past ten
years I have helped hundreds of per
sons who have wanted to build but did
not know just exactly how to go about
it. There are a few simple "don'ts" TO
be remembered and one OF the principal
ones IS that the advice of the man who
talks only cheapness of price should be
avoided. II you contract on price, price
is just about all you get"

DOROTHY SORRY
FOR HARSH WORDS
Apologies to Mary Garden
for accusation.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Dorothy JOrdOn,
erstwhile prima donna Of the Chicago
Opera Company, and now star in
vaudeville, is sorry she spoke harsh
words concerning Mary Garden. She
wishes the famous director of the Chi
cago Opera Company to forgive her.
Last January Miss Jardon left the
opera company here and charged her
departure was due to Mary Gardens
jealousy.
"Only this year" said Miss Jardon
in a statement today, ''I found out Mary
Garden had nothing. to do with the per
secution which drove me from the Chi
cago Opera Company: it was a clique
of foreigners who hated us Americans,
who were determined to drive us away
Now l want Miss Garden at least to re-
ceive my apologies"
Miss Jardon was taken from the vaude-
Vile stage by the late Cleofonte Cam
panini and became an opera star under
his direction. After leaving the Chicago
Opera Company she returned to vaude-
Vile.
