Flight of Lift to Top of
Building.

Miss Christina Lunn. elevator operator
in the New York Nursery and Child's
Hospital, 151 West Sixty-first street,
was killed early last night when she
tried to jump to safety as the car start
ed up the shaft out Of control. She was
found unconscious at the bottom OF the
shaft and died on the operating table
half an hour later.
The young woman had been employed
as operator in the hospital for three
years and had u thorough knowledge
of the mechanism. How she lost control
is not known.
About 9 40 o'clock nurses on the first
floor heard 8 scream and then the thud
OF her body striking the floor at the
bottom OF the pit. DR.. Philip Decker
resident physician, and the engineer o.
the building were called. The door at
the bottom of the shaft was opened and
Miss Lunn, unconscious and dying, was
hurried to the operating room. Most OF
her injuries 1t was said, were internal
and death occurred while DR.. Decker
and another surgeon were preparing to
operate.
An inspection OF the shaft later
showed the elevator stalled at the top
or eighth floor At the fourth floor the
steer meSh screen ABOVE the door was
bulged out and this. together. with marks
on the edge OF the cars floor. told how
the operator lost her life. Apparently
she became frightened when the ele-
vator refused 10 stop, and waiting until
she was opposite the third floor, tried
to open the door and thus cut off the
current, This attempt failed and then
she slipped, being carried up against
the shaft to the point where the mesh
screen began. There her body wedged,
forced the bulge in the mesh and fell
back through the opening
Miss Lunn was 22 years old. She
lived with her mother at $50 West Sixty

PROBLEMS THAT ARE
 CONFRONTING THE
 FARMERS IN VALLEY
By MARVIN H. YOUNG

Who is benefited by the farmers dis tressed condition of today?
 All our lives we have been accus- toned to placing the blame for our failures on someone else. and in the case of low prices for farm products, we have said They, they" We are not sure just who we mean, and if we were privileged to shoot the one responsible for the trouble we possibly would hunt a long time before we fired the first shot.
 We say "the specu1ator" and the 'big money interests"
 Let us look at the present conditions of the cotton industry and locate the blame. Find the buyer who treated you right, sell. him your cotton if you can. You will find he is not in the market He is afraid of the present nr.ices and you can't sell him at any price.
 We'll sav the money interests are to blame Most of us have been ad- vanced more money than our credit would really justify on our uncertain business, so then it can't be the money interests.
 If this is true, then where is the trouble? We are told it is supply and demand, which we are willing to con- cede to a degree, but how many times do we recall when the excuse for low prices was an oversupply, but as soon as the bulk of the commodities is out of the hands of the producers the prices go up.
 The supply might, flor the time be- ing, be greater than ,he demand if we are forced to sell all crops in short period, thereby causing more to be dumped on the market than there is a healthy demand for.
 When we do, then comes the specu- lator and takes the. surplus off the market. We try to market a years supply of a certain commodity on g three months demand The demand might be curtailed by the lack oi transportation facilities, more being dumped on the market than could be moved and nobody willing to take the surplus and hold it except at low price.
 These are conditions that confron' us on all crops when we go to sell which make a very unsatisfactory business for the farmer. We ask whS is benefited by these conditions? Int 54, ,000, 900 persons who are dependen on direct profits from the soil in thu

 THE ELKS TONIGHT

Those perennial favorites, Mutt and Jeff, made famous by Gus Hill, will be seen at the Elks theater tonight and tomorrow, with popular matinee Sat urday. This seasons offering is en- titled Mutt and Jeff at the. Races, '' and it is said to be the best of the series offered heretofore. Three acts of riotous laughter, three hours of solid fun, music, revelry, surprises and mirth are promised.
 From all accounts, the new Hill pro auction, involving adventures, pranks, foibles and rollicldng powers of Bud Fishers famous cartoon creations, will be greatly enjoyed by the many lovers of this funny pair, whose grotesque characteristics and funny actions arc known to every man, woman and child in every nook and corner of the world.

United States we know are not bene- fitted. The merchants, doctors, bank CTS and all business people of the towns and cities dependent upon a sue cessful and profitable agricultural country cannot be benefited for their business goes down with the failure of the farmer.
 The banker can't collect. the mer- chant can't sell his goods, the doctors bills go unpaid, the lumberman keeps his lumber. the automobile dealer can't sell his cars, the implement man can't collect his accounts. the barbers' busi- ness drops off. Mechanics, carpenters and masons get out of work, and even the bootblacks' business goes down and everything goes to the bad in general all because the farmer can't sell his crops for g. profit.

 Every year Gus Hill, who took Mutt and Jeff from the comic pages of the daiIies, has surrounded them with something new to do. This season they are seen in a series of new ad- ventures which add glory to their fame as funsters who make life worth living and open the floodgates of in fectious laughter. A feature this year is the endless variety of pretty cos tunes which are used by the chorus to good effect in the different musical numbers with which the play abounds.

Lawrence and Wilma Stock walking about the streets, again Right at the present, though, they are confining themselves mostly to the theater put ting the finishing touches on Polly with a Past" the clever Belasco com edy in which they will appear at the Elks theater for the week starting Sunday
 Wilma Stock is such a favorite in Phoenix that the mere announcement of her name is sufficient to fill any theater, but when that name is coupled with such an attractive comedy as Polly With a Past there is a dou- ble appeal
 Polly With a Past is one of the most popular of modern comedies The humor is rich, interesting and spar kIng, the story immensely clever and the staging elaborate. The engage on Sunday afternoon and runs for the entire week.

Who DID IT


The Founder OF The Passionists"
None of the comparatively new
Roman Catholic orders has made
such rapid progress as that of the
Passionists. St. Paul of the Cross,
an Italian, founded it in 1920, and
after having been introduced in 1912
in England, it gained a firm foot
hold in the United States ten Years
later. Today it is one of the coun
try's most powerful religious organi-
cations.
The Passionists are particularly
devoted to the keeping in memory
of the Passion of Christ. Their full
name is the Congregation of Dis
calced Clerks of the Most Holy Cross
Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ"
but their more frequently heard
name is the "Barefooted Clerks of
the Most HOLY Cross"

WILL BAR CARNIVALS
Cumberland Acts To Prevent Them
From Showing There.

Cumberland, Md, Aug. 2.-Cum-
berland has been added to the list OIL
cities in the East that have placed
carnivals under the ban. The City
Council at its meeting yesterday, with
out a dissenting vote, passed an or
dInance forbidding the issuance OF
licenses in the future to such travel
ing organizations. Any organiza-
ton attempting to exhibit would be
subject TO a fine of from $500 to
$1,000 Il day.
There has been a general objec-
ton here to carnivals, it is said,
which, under an ordinance just re-
pealed, were limited to three a year.
Objection was based largely because
of gambling and lewd shows, which
it is asserted, accompanied some.
