Alice Lake yesterday was screened

out the length of this engrossing

the staunch young husband. a baby
boy and a pair OF scheming ad-
venturers. The authors have been
| sufficiently adroit to strip their tale
of all its artificialities and make
[, the climax of the story dependent
upon a wholly human and genu-
inely convincing demonstration of
mother love and deep-seated human
| nature.
The Shippers Scheme" is an in

Another of those sudden and ter

Cured last week, this time in Tulsa,
Okla. Before the state troops that
We're called to assist the police had
restored order at least thirty per-
sons had been killed, hundreds had
been wounded and the negro quarter
of the city was in ashes. More than
5000 negroes were rendered home
less and the property damage was es-
timated to be in excess of a million
and a half dollars.
AS so often is the case, the riots
were due to an attack on a white girl
by a negro. The offender was arrest
ed and then someone started the ru-
NOR that he was to be lynched. Sew
eral hundred armed blacks gathered
about the courthouse and Jail, and one
of them was killed by a police officer.
That started the fighting, and within
a few hours the city had become an
armed camp. Both whites and blacks
looted the stores for guns, and the
negroes entrenched themselves in
their quarter. An army of whites
soon began the invasion Of that region
and, driving back the blacks, set fire
to the buildings as they advanced.
Men, women and children were shot
down mercilessly as they fed from
their burning homes. Three local
units of the Oklahoma National Guard
were ordered out by the governor, and
they, with the help of the police and
members of the American Legion, at
last succeeded in controlling the sit
uation. They were able to protect
the business and railroad districts
from further destruction, but the
"black belt" was a smoking ruin.

many hours. The Germans renewed
the attacks and the fighting has been

Chancellor Wirth apparently is de-
ternined to force Germany to fulfill
her obligations to the allies. In a
speech before the reichstag he set
forth the economic rules and policies
through which, he believes, the Ger
man nation can pay its debts and yet
maintain economic stability and in
dependence. He intends not only to
keep up with the payments as they
fall due, but to keep ahead of them.
"The sums to be paid in repara-
tions," he declared, "can be extract
ed only by creating an economic bal
ance. We must increase our produc-
tion and reduce our expenses to the
utmost in our manufactures. We
must limit all imports, especially luxu-
ries, as far as possible through customs
tax measure. To this end we should
have sovereignty over our customs
borders.
Agriculture must be brought to it's
highest capacity, systematically. AMI
mails must be replaced by motors, saw
ing fodder. Acreage must be increased.
and the cultivation of swamps and
deserts must be undertaken at the
earliest moment, thus providing work
for those out of employment The
sword has been broken. We must
work"
The chancellor foreshadowed a high
er corporation tax, bourse tax, an
inheritance tax, landed property tax
and a tax on certain securities, in ad-
dition to an increase in direct taxes
Before the congress Of the Com
munist party in Moscow Premier
Lenin laid his economic program,
which was supported by Minister Of
Agriculture Milfutin and approved by
the gathering. The policy as outlined
includes:
1. Collection from the peasants of q
fixed amount of grain by a system Of
tax In kind, estimated by Miliutin to
amount to about one-third of the crop.
The other two-thirds of the crop is to.
remain at the disposal of the peasant
for grading through the newly restored
co-operatives, whose power is to be ex-
tended.
2. Retention In the hands Of the
state of the largest industries and
means of transportation, particularly
the leather, salt and textile industries.
These latter are turning out manu-
factured goods now most needed by
the peasants. They are to be speeded
up in order to satisfy the peasants
needs, and the workmen are to be en-
couraged by bonus system and other
inducements which will increase pro-
duction. Supervision is to be under
the trade unions, who will fix the rates
Of pay instead of the government as
heretofore.
3. Encouragement of small and me-
dium co-operatives and private indus
tries. Factories will be leased to these
smaller industries, and even financial
assistance will be given. The trades
unions will fix wages

PARKING BY WIRELESS

We want the HolbrooE

 "there's nothing new under
 the sun" to read this. We
 want him to see how easy ii
 is to be mistaken.
 The Department of Agri-
 culture has just announced that it proposes to use wire less telegra phy to help the farmers of this country carry on their work. And to that end q daily market gram service is going to be available to every farmer who will install a simple wireless receiving set at 9 cost of about $50. The post office department will send weather reports, market re- ports, storm warnings and other valuable information broadcast to wireless sta tions which it will establish.
 Then it will be, Tn turn, flashed to every farmer who has a radio receiving outfit.
 But whether you are a farmer or not, this news reaches into your everyday life, because it suggests some of the startling changes that may soon be brought about by wireless. The time may not be far off when a business man will have a wireless receiving apparatus in his office, keeping him posted on trade events and market changes almost the very instant they occur, Whether he is in a city, a town, or a thousand miles from either. The time may ! come, within your lifetime, 1 when every housewife will | will receive daily, through ] wireless telephones, such things as food prices, wealth CT forecasts, or even fashion tips. You can bet there are 3 lot of new things under the sun--and there are going to be a lot more.
