Moscow, March 16.-"How can
Americans keep themselves from fall
ing off the earth?" Daghestan man
asked of F. A. Colder of the American
relief administration. '"Their lands
are underneath ours. How can they
keep on them
Flies can walk upon the ceiling"
one grave elder replied. "The Ameri-
cans are very clever people. Like the
flies they have learned TO walk upside
down"
Mr.. Colder has just returned from
this most remote part of Russia where
he arranged to relieve 10000 children
in scattered $4,000 who are suffer
ing from famine in Dhghestan. They
are descendants of the Huns who 400
years ago swept from Asia into Eu-
rope. Mr.. Colder found them in their
isolated mountain homes one of the
most primitive of races with the
quaintest ideas of the outside world.
They believe that America being un.
derneath must be in absolute darkness.
Americans plough their fields with
lighted candles tied to the horns of
oxen they say. You reach America,
according to their notion. by descend
ing a little circular staircase, the en-
trance 10 which is controlled by the
ear in Moscow. They knew. however,
that the Americans were very good to
the poor and hungry and therefore
they had come to aid the people in
Daghestan. The old men asked Mr..
Colder 10 send message to the elders
in the United States thanking them
and expressing the hope that Ameri-
cans will never suffer as they them
selves are suffering.
In Daghestan every man is armed,
The favorite amusements are dancing,
fighting and stealing each others wives.
The authorities gave Mr.. Colder as a
guard a man, who in blood feud,
slew ten other in a village and shot his
own brother. This mountain land is
decimated by civil war. The people
first fought against all the Russians
and then some joined the Bolshcviki
in fighting against the White Rus

Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen's
magazine, official organ of the brother
hood.
In 1904, Mr.. Carter was elected gen.
eraJ secretary and treasurer of the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen.
Recognising his ability as a labor
union executive, William G. McAdoo,
then secretary of the treasury and di.
rector general Of the United States
railroad system. appointed Mr.. Carter
as director Of the division of labor in
the administration. He served as la.
Dor director from 1918 until 1920, in
addition to his duties as president Of
the brotherhood.
He later was succeeded as president
by ID. Il. Robertson and became man.

ITALIANS TO MEXICO
President Obregon Promises Every
Aid TO Immigrants.

The Italian consul general at Tam
pico has made arrangements with the
state government of Tamaulipas for
the arrival of about GOO Italian FAM
lilies comprising about 5000 persons
who have sailed from Italy and will
arrive shortly at Tampico to colonize
agricultural lands near Tampico.
President Obregon is quoted by Mex
leo City newspapers as stating that
Mexico will welcome all of the Italian
immigrants that desire to come TO
Mexico, and will afford them every IA
cility to establish homes.
Since the curtaiment Of italian
and Sicilian immigration to the United
States, the Italian government has
been very SOLICITORS to open a new

MITCHELL SHAKEN UP
Air Service Chief Leaps to Safety
as Plane "Flops" in Landing.

Mitchell Field, n. ", March 49,
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant
chief of the Army Air Service, was
badly shaken up late yesterday when
the landing year of plane in which
he had been flying, collapsed as he
landed.
The machine seemed TO STOP just
before il touched the ground. Cen
eral Mitchell cut the straps that bound
him 10 the pilot's seat and leaped TO
safety as il struck the rut. He rolled
over several times on the ground, but
arose unhurt.
The plane, new Dornier- Wright
monoplane, arrived a few days ago
from Switzerland, where it was built.
General Mitchell was completing q
half hour flight alone, when the mis-
hap occurred.
: The accident occurred at the end Of
day Of "circus flying" by officers
OF Mitchell Field, when several new
types of air craft we're tested. Gen
eral Mitchell opened the tests by fly
ing a Martin bomber, the largest
standard aircraft used by the army,
and later piloted new navy pursuit
plane.
p Lieutenant Barksdale piloted the
Curtis all-metol pursuit plane over a
measured Eilometer course at speed
Of I'LL mileg an hour. 1t was said
to be the fastest time ever made by
a fighting airplane although the pilot
headed into strong wind during his

New Ruling Brought About
by Abuse Of Party Line
Privileges by Women
Whose "Chats" Last an
Hour or More.
BY TOM GALLAGHER.

CoOvright, by The San Antonio Light.
Boston. Mass. March i6.-Visiting
on the telephone must stop. That is
the edict OF the New England tele
phone companies and it has been given
the official sanction of William II.
b O'Brien. chief of telephone and tele-
graph division of the Massachusetts
Public Utilities Commission.
The telephone companies are de-
termined that what they term "use-
less" conversation must be limited to
five minutes and in pursuance to that,
they have issued a ruling TO party line
subscribers that no call shall be long
er than that. To make the ruling
..doubly effective. it was mailed out
with the monthly bills. Discontinue
ance OF the service is the penalty for
l-refusal to comply. The action was
the answer to hundreds of complaints
: from party line patrons that they have
s4-been forced to park" themselves and
!. wait for half hours and even hours in
.ssome cases TO get important calls
--through while giddy women chat.
Women Talk Too Long.
'-s- These complaints are borne out by
THE files of the telephone company
: which reveal that women are the chief
offenders in the so-called, useless"
conversation while business men are
the chief complainants against the de-
lay in service. When a man calls his
home. he snorts few monosyllables
and hangs up, telephone experts say,
but when n woman calls one of her
female friends. she talks about every
thing from King Tut and his. day to
his influence on the modern styles.
The latest dress must be described
on the phone from bodice TO sequins,
the party of the afternoon must be de-
tailed at great length with the latest
shocking scandal of the community
losing none of its salacious details by
the re-telling; newcomers in the
neighborhood must be discussed at
length as to previous condition of So
cial standing as to behavior and given
either the sanction or rejection of the
set" A woman, telephone company
research men have learned, talks about
everything she can think of, including

Fat That Shows
Soon Disappears

Prominent fat that comes and stays
where it is not needed is a burden,
hindrance to activity, curb upon
pleasure. You can take off the fat
where it shows by taking after each
meal and at bedtime, one Marmola
Prescription Tablet. These little tab
let's are as effective and harmless as
the famous prescription from which
they take their name. Buy and try
a case today. All druggists the world
over sell them at one dollar for case
or you can order them direct from the
Marmola Co., 1912 Woodward Av.,
Detroit, Mich. You can thus say
goodbye to dieting, exercise and fat.

What kind Of an audience are we?
That was my thought the other aft
ernoon when Dave Harris, a vaudeville
actor of unlimited ability, after being
given a splendid ovation at the Pal
ace theater, admitted he couldn't un-
derstand the applause.
81 can't understand it," he admit
ted from the stage during the ova-
ton. They tell me Indianapolis is a
hard audience"
That seems to be the impression that
is going around in some theatrical
circles. But Dave Harris knows diff
ferently.
Some time ago Frances Kennedy
discussed with me the attitude OF the
Indianapolis audience.
Indianapolis is no different than
any other large city" she told me.
Your audiences ARE not hard boiled
but they demand honest and capable
work upon the part of the performer.
If one has ability and material, that
performer need not fear the verdict
Of an Indianapolis audience.
Harris, by experiencing the sensa-
ton of stopping a show on his own
merits has learned the lesson voiced
by Miss Kennedy. To my way of
thinking, an audience need not be
moved to violent applause to express
it's true meaning.
Il T.
l have seen audiences at English s
giving only silent approval to the
work Of Robert 3. Mantell, and yet
Mantell. from a box-office standpoint.
is the most successful classical actor
who has visited Indianapolis in many
years. His local audience does not
applaud madly, but patronize his eff
forts.
And yet Harris will ask me: How
can a variety entertainer know that
he has made good unless an audience
shows its APPROVAL"
He probably will also remark that
I recorded in my review Of his work
the fact that he stopped" the show
and that my only method Of judging
that was the amount of applause
given him by a large audience.

but I cannot agree with the gossip
