IT'S to bc u comedy, a good

characters, and all that. It's to
be q small town romance, and by
the time the spectator gets done
seeing it, he'll want to leave the
big city right away, and get back
where folks is just folks"
There are to be no custard
pies or anything like that-no
rough stuff. Just slight air OF
siap-dash and a tone of good
natured hokum.
"Main Street" was straight

Black Nurses Good as

Rio De Janeiro, March 12-The
effect of cough syrup is the same
whether administered by a white

inspector Of tuberculosis in dis
missing a negro nurse in favor
of white women.
In Brazil, the minister declar-
ed, all colors are equal in the

as capable nurse for tubercu-

iculing spirit which the book has
or whether it should be a humor-
out view.
I'VE decided that We would
tighten the spirit of the book
somewhat because the screen is
more obvious and a less subtle
medium than the printed page,
and instances in the book which
were softened by pages of des-
cription would naturally be far
too harsh for the screen, and put
the characters in an entirely
different light from that intend
ed by the author"
On learning of this major opera
ton on Main Street" well
known feature writer went out

find out exactly what was going
on. He encountered J. L. Warner,
one of the eight Warner Broth

L. said, rolling his cigar to the

we stuck in. We've improved on

that was all he needed. Joe done

The romantic looking Monte

the work imposed on him by the
Gods himself.

Mayfield Flares Back
At His Texas Traducers

aSnlnglOn, Mafcn lZ.-SeH-
ator-elect Earle B. Mayfeld, of
Texas, today has been out a
statement here declaring Gin
famous and basolutely false" the
election contest charges filed re-
Gently with the Senate by George
f. b. Peddy, the Republican-In-
for Senator defeated by Mr.. May
field last November.
Mr.. Peddy had charged that
Senator-elect Mayfeld belonged
to the Ku Klux Khan and had
entered q conspiracy with its
members by which his election
was fraudulent. The statement
today of Mr.. Mayfeld declared
Mr. Peddy's election contest "a
continuation of campaign of
misrepresentation and abuse"
The protest filed is false from
beginning to end" said Mr.. May
field, "it is but continuation of
campaign of Misrepresentation
and abuse on the part of my
political opponent to iniure me
personally and to lessen the pos
ibility Of my carrying out my
pledge to serve the people and
no special interest during my
term of office.
Every alleged fact in the pro-
test, with reference to me, was
threshed out in every Court in
Texas before the election, and was
we'll known to the voters Of our
State when they went to the polls
in the general election on Novem-
Der T, and ! was elected by ma
jority of 10000 votes. spent
less than $1,000 in the general
mittee of my opponent in a sworn
election, while the campaign COM
statement filed with our Secre-
tary of State admitted having
spent over $4,000 to defeat me" "
THE charge that | intimated
the oil industry of Texas is ridi-
culous. Besides, the charge is a
reflection upon the character of
my associates upon the Railroad
Commission, who participated
with me in every decision touch
ing that industry. Why, two of
the most prominent oil men of
Texas swore to having contribut-
ed $4,000 each to Mr.. Peddy's
campaign and the good Lord only
knows how much more.
"The protest not only contains
wholesale Indictment of our At
torney General, Secretary of State
election officials and 100000 voters
charging them with fraud and
wrongful practices, but it goes
the limit and charges the Texas
Courts with corruption. | de-
nounce as infamous and as alb
solutely false these charges made
against the honesty and integrity
of my people by those who
would traduce the fair name of
Texas in order to further their
political ambitions and selfish for
tunes, even though | were not
their target.
Everybody in Texas knows we
had an honest election, except the
lawyers and the $5-per-day men
who are hired to contest my seat
in the Senate. In the end their eff
forts will amount to nothing. The
voice of the people will be re-
spected."

Election Causes
Trouble

GILLETTE. wyo. April 11.-Grest
dissatisfaction has been expressed here
ut the recent reelection of C. C.
Foley as superintendent of the city
schools. 1t is understood that a petit
ton for his removal is being cIrcu-
lated, and in any event a lively school
district squabble looms near.
Foley is accused OF high-handed pro
ceedings in his conduct of the school
administration. His open criticisms
OF high school teachers IN the pres
ence of the students are said to have
caused all but two of them to decide
not to teach in the school another
year.
The superintendent's say
that many necessities are lacking in
the schools as a result OF his an.
nounced policy OF economy on which
he was reelected; hat no teachers
meetings have been called since last
October and that a serious lack OF CO.
ordination among the teaching staff
exists in consequences; that Mrs. Foley
was given a position in the high
school. displacing n better-qualified
teacher; that his consistent opposition
to the athletic coach is unJustified,
ana hat several highly qualified
teachers were fired last fall just be-
fore the opening of school.
