CONCENTRATION

The nation, it has been said by Harding and
Wilson and Coolidge and many other thoughtful
people, needs sort of religious awakening, new
grip the spiritual.
In the death of President Harding they gained
for few days united mind. All hearts were turn
ed from sordid selfseekng to the vision of what it
might mean for to give his life for his friends.
The few moments of reverent quiet spent by the
nation on a recent Friday afternoon all minds,
hearts and souls concentrated the great mystery
of the passing soul, in themselves purifica-
tion
During the war; buying public bonds was virtue.
Now it's vice.

Discussion of air disarmament
would be invaluable at this time if
civilians, both men and women, as
we'll as technical authorities, par
ticipate in conference, according to
Miss Julia c. Lathrop, humanitarian
and former head Of the childrens
bureau Of the Department Of Labor

stand for an international meeting to
reduce military air strength.
Miss Lathrop was recently listed as
one of the twelve most famous women
in America.
"a question so Immediately affect
ing civilians and -combatants can
not receive adequate treatment II
dealt with only by technical experts
In the production Of air equipment FOR
war purposes" Miss Lathrop wrote

Of war uses of air be determined save
by the agreement of civilians and SO
called non-combatants."

Legion Official Says Sept, IA

By United Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 11.-Com-

ulan to observe Sept. IA as a second
MAY day." Garland H. Powell, di-
rector of the American Legion's ma
tional Americanism commission, de
clared today in an address at the ma
tionaI convention of the Women s
Christian Temperance Union in Co
1umbus.
Powell said he had obtained infor-
nation that the day would be called
International Youth day and that it
will be carried into effect by fifty
communistic leagues in as many coun-
tries. The plans are to hold huge and
far-reaching demonstrations in each
country the world over. he said
American Legion posts and units
Of the auxiliary opposed the first May
day celebration this year by holding
counter meetings a few days in ad-
vance of Nav day" Powell said. He
stated further, This second May
day is really more dangerous than
the first observance. 1t is because a
special attempt will be made to appeal
TO the young persons. II these revolu-
tionary agitators are permitted to
work upon the minds of the ignorant
and the undeveloped mentality Of our
youth, there may me serious conse-
ouences. The radicals are trying TO
increase their numbers through un-
dermining our public institutions and
through this new method which they
have adopted of corrupting the youth
Of our land"

Why Concentrate Upon One
When You Can Have an Orchestra

George Lovett mas been appearing
before the American vaudeville public
for years in concentration acts.
He started out concentrating upon
a woman pianist and ends up this
season by concentrating upon an en-
tire orchestra.
Lovett walks through the audience
collecting pieces of paper upon which
are written the names Of musical
selections. The members of the or
chestra are blindfolded on the stage.
Lovett reads TO himself the name of
the selection written by a member of
the audience. He speaks not a word.
The blindfolded orchestra begins play
ing the selection. Never were they
wrong at any time while I was pres
ent.
Lovett is concentrating upon his
blindfoIded> musicians at the Palace
on the new bill.
Harry Jolson. a brother Of Al. is
present at the Palace. He is going
through the same routine which he
used last season on the big time He
found il rather hard sailing at first
at the Palace yesterday afternoon,
but ended with enough honest ap-
plause to please any performer.
Jack Little is pianist. He knows
how to play selections which will
make a vaudeville audience like them.

Why the restriction is announced I
will never know.

Al Hitler and the father" is an
other comedian by the name Of
Frank Harcourt.
"Runnin' Wild" is the second Ed
E. Daley burlesque show to be at the
Capitol this season. "Runnin' Wild"
lacks some of the needed essentials
which Lena Daley's 'Brevities Of
1928" possessed.
The wild show is not strong on
singing voices, yet it has an over
abundance of slapstick comedy. The
chorus is fairly strong on looks and
is we'll costumed. Harcourt ard Hill
lier in grotesque and regulation bur
lesque makeup contribute most of the
comedy. 1t is slapstick comedy but
unusually free of Objectionable ma
terial "Runnin' Wild" can be classed
as clean show, but with sufficient
pep to keep up interest.
Nalecitas leopards, a standard
vaudeville attraction. is the headline
fash of this show. Valecita puts four

a big act. The~leopards aid their
trainer in a musical number.
Hitower and Jones, two colored
dancers. walk away with the dance
honors of the show The dance much
better than they sing. Their dancing
stops the show. Hazard and Spell

The show IS running too long under
present condition. and little more
speed to some Of the scenes will bene-
fit the show as a whole. The weak
mesa of the show rests in its women
principals.

tinued the speaker, "that eastern capi-
talists were preparing to construct,
with the enormous financial aid they
would receive under this bill in the
event it became law, two passenger
liners eclipsing in size and speed any
thing the world has yet beheld; lin
ers 1000 feet long and of 10000 gross
tons each; liners that would make the
Majestic and the Leviathan look like
canal boats. 1t has been estimated
that these ships would get about
$4,000,000 year basic subsidy under
this bill, or twice that amount if the
board should so allow, the board hav-
ing the power to double the basic
grants.
"An expert of the shipping board
testified at the hearings that the Le-
viathan would get 100000 a year in
basic subsidy from the treasury under
this bill, and the subsidy could be
doubled if the board should so desire.
On the other hand, ordinary cargo
vessels, such as make up the bulk of
the present shipping board fleet and
such as carry most Of the worlds

would receive only a few thousand
dollars each per annum."
