MINISTRIES At GRAND
REAL COLORED PEOPLE

For singing and dancing none can
excel the colored race, and it seems
the cream of the colored talent has
been brought into the Famous Georgia
minstrels, at least this company has
established itself as a top liner at
traction and is not thought of as a
"nigger show"-it being in the same
class as that of any white minstrel
unless it be that it is superior, and the
white people approaching the efforts
of these deserving people are very
liberal in their patronage.
So far this season, the reports veri-
fly the fact that five nights out a
week, hundreds are turned away from

They will be here at the Grand on

of contempt of court were entitled to

Another recent Supreme Court de-
cision worthy of praise was that hold
ing that a confession obtained by
third degree" methods should not
have been admitted as evidence ct
the trial Of a Chinaman convicted on
a murder charge.
The third degree" method of ex-
torting Confessions" should not be
tolerated for a moment in any civil
lized nation. It is unfair and cruel,
destructive of the accused persons
constitutional rights and there is not
the slightest cause for its employ
ment. It is on par with obtaining
confession by torture, which was sup
posed to have been abolished with the
passing of the Middle Ages.
If the Supreme Court decision hits
the "third degree" a deadly blow, the
decision will be a big forward step.
Every fair-minded person will hold
that it ends this barbarous method
of obtaining confession" from help

POOR EYESIGHT CAUSE OF
MANY AUTO ACCIDENTS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 3d.
Automobile accidents and their fright
full toll of life and linn are increasing
steadily at the rate of 1000 year.
A careful investigation of the motor
vehicle laws Of the various states re-
veals "unwarranted neglect" accord
ing to the eyesight Conservation
Council, which in a report just issued
from its national headquarters in New
York associates poor eyesight with
automobile accidents.
Unquestionably, good eyesight is a
prime requisite for all who drive
motor cars, and those with poor vision
are a menace, asserts the report, con-
tinuing;
A survey of the motor vehicle laws
of the various states shows that only
four states-Delaware, Minnesota,
Oregon and Pennsylvania-make stat
utory reference to the eyesight Of
operators, the provisions of these
state laws are merely more or less
vague statements that the eyesight Of
applicants must not be impaired or
defective.
Estate officials report that the eye
sight of applicants is tested in five
additional states, viz, Maryland, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio and
Rhode Island. Further investigation
Of the Interpretation and enforcement
Of the laws and the methods used
shows that the work generally is done
too hurriedly and carelessly to be eff
fective. Since the existance Of even
inefficient regulations applies TO only
nine states. the conclusion is reached
that proper attention Is not given to
the eyesight Of practically the entire
motor-driving population Of the Unit
ed States"

AUTO REPAIR MEN UNITE

A recent health test shows that out
of 100 auto mechanics but 30 were in
sound condition. The other 60 were
victims of carbon monoxide poisoning,
high blood pressure or stomach trouble
on account of the nature of their en-

These conditions have forced many

will be to improve working conditions.

BY The Way

The wise birds who say there is
no idealism in America have another
think coming.
There's plenty of idealism but it
needs something to bring it out.
That something was supplied by the
candidacy of Senator La Toilette,
Progressive candidate for President.
To attend one of the big meetings
addressed by Senator La Toilette was
a revelation of idealism that would
have COMPOUNDED the most hardened
cynic. On every side were men and
women of all political faiths, uniting
in a spontaneous tribute to the men
who represented in their eyes the
best in American political life.
The whole behavior of the crowds
the stirring demonstration made at
the appearance Of La Toilette on the
platform, the enthusiastic and long
continued applause at every telling
point which he made-all gave notice
that the people were moved by the
idealism that has always animated
mass meetings in behalf of better
things. The whole spirit of the meet
ing shows that the people had
caught a vision of better nation and
a better world and that lofty ideal
ism inspired their ardor for the Pro-
gressive cause.

That was a deserved rebuke given
by the Natinal Education associa-
ton to the self-styled "Citizen Com
mittee to protect our homes and
children" that photographed an impu-
dent inquiry to the association, hint
ing strongly that the COMMITTEES"
suspected the association had no right
to pledge it's members to the support
of the child labor amendment.
The Educational association lost no
time in telling the committee" that
the vote to back the child labor amend
ment represented the associations en-
tire membership and that the "com-
mittee" should be ashamed to oppose
Federal protection Of children.
The action of the "Citizens com
mittee to Protect Our Homes and
Children" shows that the opponents
of the child labor amendment are wag-
ing a determined campaign to block
ratification of the amendment. This
campaign should but stir the friends
of the amendment to greater activity
in its behalf, especially in letting the
people know the source of the oppO-
sition to the amendment. Greedy and
shOrt-sighted manufacturers are be-
hind much of the opposition to Fed
eral protection Of the young. When
the people are made to realize this,
they will have little patience with such
camouflaged organizations as the Cit
zens Committee to protect our homes
and children"

Big Show To Play City. Ahead Of Regular
 Schedule

Ringing Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's combined circus is coming to Birmingham Thursday, October 30, for two performances beneath the world s biggest "big top" pitched at Smith park. An impression was abroad that the "big show 'as it is commonly referred to, was not to visit Birmingham this year, but the definite announcement can be made that it will exhibit here upon the above date. It was found neces- sary to make radical change in the routing, and it comes to Birmingham some time ahead of the date originally contemplated. Birmingham is in the big league class as far as the Ringllng- Barnum circus folk are concerned, and it would be unthinkable that the circus would come into the south and not ln- clude this city in it's routing.
 It will take four long trains totaling 100 double-length cars to bring the show here from Sheffield, where it ex- hibits Wednesday, October %, and 30 tents of varying size are needed to house the big affair. Each year, ac- cording to the circus man, this circus gets bigger and better and some day it is going to get so big that something s going to burst. This year is no ex- ception for the circus folk promise a whole flock of new stunts and features in addition to the time-honored attrac- tions without which the circus couldn' t keep house.
 For one thing, May Wirth, the sem sational Australian girl rider, and the entire Wirth family, temporarily un- faithful to the circus, have returned

in the world" This is the famous young gorilla, John Daniel, H.. the only living gorilla in captivity in the world and the third ever to be brought to this country. Now about four years old John is fooling all the scientists by re maining alive and well, and his career in this country is being watched with interest by scientists both here and abroad. John lords it over a display of natural history types confidently as serted to be the largest and most varied ever taken on tour, including an entire family of giraffes, attended by a flock of trained nurses; old Scaly. the only armored rhinoceros outside the jungles Tiny Toddles, an infant hippo" weigh. ing something less than ton, and scores of encaged animals.
 The herd of 40 elephants is headed by Old John, wisest of all the herd who flop an ear and wiggle trunk, and includes F baby elephants, shyest of all the performers, human or animal, with the circus. The parking problem as affecting the big bunch of pachy- derms carried by this circus is a tough. CT one than MT. Einstein's theory of relativity, and it keeps George Denman, head elephant trainer, Lusy in finding sleeping space for his charges when they tarry more than a day in town.
 Two advance advertising cars with scores of billposters and advertising ex- perts in charge of W. H., Horton, gen. eral agent, reached town last evening and the country for miles around is to- day being plastered with the announce ment of the coming of, the "big show despite erroneous announcements to the contrary.

to their first love and head constella- tion of 70 riders, among them the sisters Reiffenrach, from the Balkans. An other new feature includes A superbly schooled Russian stallions, known throughout Europe as thes Warsaw Horses" to be presented in tremen- dous horse number in which POO trained equines appear along with their Euro pean trainers. Mabel Stark, most in- trepid of women wild animal trainers, appears in wrestling bout with full grown Siberian trainer, and suffers not a bit by comparison with the best Euro pean trainers in the handling of big "cats." In the brilliance of huge arc lights the royal family of the circus world, many of them with names gen. erations old in the word of 'sawdust and spangles," will thrill and amuse the thousands who are always attracted to the performances given under the Ring ling and Barnum gonfalon.
 But it is in the circus ZOO that an attraction is presented that no less an authority than Dr. William T. Horna- day, head of the New York zoo, pro nounces "the greatest geological feature

REGULAR RODEO .
 FOR NEXT WEEK
Bijou Has Wild West Act On Monday
 Bill

Record crowds. the like of which have never been seen at Loew's BlJou, are expected to be on hand at every per formance next week, beginning Monday afternoon for the triple feature Dill, and especially for the first appearance on any vaudeville stage of Mammoth Rodeo. Cheyenne Days," which will be the vaudeville headliner all week
 This Rodeo. which comes here direct from Madison Square Garden, New York, is made up of five real cowDoys, a COW girl, four horses, mule and a steer, and all of these Will take vigorous part in the act of roplng. steer throwing, clearinghouse riding and oth- CT feats usually only seen with the very largest of Wild West circus out fits.
 Something sensational is also in store next week at Loew's for movie fans, when the super Metro-Goldwyn feature "Wine of Youth" presenting a story of free love and marriage will be the screen offering, presented by an "all star" cast.
 But there are also three vaudeville feature acts, such as the playlet Come Into The Kitchen" presented by the Noel lr0VerS ana irene OouRlhS Colh pany, also the comedy skit Do You Follow Me-" enacted by Anna Marston and Monocle Manley. Adding to the general diversity of the bill are such acts as the musical instrumental offer ing including the accordion of the Roletta Boys, and the laugh provoking Rubes, Jack and Reta La Pearl, ''The Indiana Folks"
 Just two more days remain this week for admirers of Tom Mix to see him in his latest photoplay "The Trouble Shooter" with his trick horse Tony" on the screen at Loew's Bijou, and lovers of diversified vaudeville also have just seven more chances to see such acts as the headliner Fred La Reine, cleo trical wizard and his company in their novelty of ''shocks," as well as George Lane and Byrd Byron in the comedy skit "On A Side Street." There is also the feature act of Mile. Nina and com pany, An Artistic Revelation" and rounding out the bill are such features as the perch balancing of the Four Arleys and Arch Stanley, the Mono pedic Marvel"

At The Lyric

A well rounded bill, with not real slow act, such criticism of the Lyrics week-and show would perhaps just about tell the story. Two real head liners, comedy skit, clever little minstrel act and an unusual ball jug gling opening act, with the screen fea- lures comp0sed a very nice weekend program.
 Perhaps the unusual features offered by Montana cowboy banjoist at- tracted and held the fancy of the au- dience as much as any of the acts on the bill. Montana, in addition to some really fine and talented concert work with his banjo, gave a number in which the impression left was as if two in struments instead of one had been play ing. This artist is a real attraction at the Lyric.
 Medley and Duprey vie with Mon tana for leading honors, in a nOnchal- ant little offering of nonsense and song, entitled Peanuts" A very nice looking young woman, with clever, tuneful partner always go over big, and Medley and Duprey have just that to offer.
 Charles Horn and Company offer a skit, "The Automobile Broker" with a surprise climax that leaves a nice taste in One's mouth. Of course, the young lovers won out over paternal ob- jections, and the skit moved merrily onward to its close amid the clustering of the father, "The Automobile Broker"
 The Lela White entertainers offer a snappy little minstrel number, com bining comedy with song. Major White and Bob Blake, end men, get away with some good jokes, while Miss Amy Tom kinson has Wyoming Lullaby" to of- fer. Billy Tempest has a surprise rem dition of Somebody's Wrong" in a blues special.
 The Alexander brothers, ably sec onded by Evelyn, offer varied sug- gestions for the use of tennis balls. Among other things-including team juggling and bouncing-one of the Alexanders can exhibtit surprising abil- ity to make the balls hop and skip at his command. Just a matter of "En- glish," you understand. Pathe News and Topics of the Day compose the screen offering.
