CARLETON GUY, director
OF dramatics in the city recre-
. alton department. is ready to
receive applications in the dramatic
class to be started soon.
There should be plenty Of appli-
cants.
For acting of some sort is one Of
the favorite indulgences Of the hui
man race. And some members of
1t are pretty rotten actors. But all
Of us do lot OF acting. and, through
out life, more or less play a part
Pretense is our middle name.
This histrionic talent seldom
finds expression on the stage or
screen-although many have nursed
secret ambitions at some time to
knock EN- cold on Broadway or
start a conagration in Hollywood.
Who ended up by punching a
clock.
But most OF us are content to do
our pretending right along with our
daily business. We know, however,
that, given the chance. we could star
as Macbeth, Falstaff or Juliet. Or all
three.
And, IL one feels an uncomfortable
desire to act on the stage, the dra-
matte class offers a safe outlet for
the emotion.

WOMEN MAY
DECIDE THE
PRESIDENCY
Percentage of Feminine
Votes Expected to
Increase.
Ttmes Waahtnoton Rnrean.

E-7ASHINGTON, Oct. ST h e
.IWI next presidential election may
G be decided by million and a
half women who have never before
voted for a President.
In 1920, somewhere around 43 per
cent OF the women entitled TO vote
cast ballots. This year there has
been a heavy registration OF women
in all parts of the country, and
there is every indication that wom-
en- are going TO go in large numbers
to the polls.
There are 23,994.580 native and
naturalized white women OF voting
ago in the country. Their vote in
the 1920 election amounted to 81 per
cent of the total vote cast. This
year it will probably go up TO some
thing like as per cent of the total
yOte cast.
Registration Separate
The figures are from a survey and
analysis of the woman vote com
piled by Simon Nlchelet. Washing
ton attorney.
Many cities and States have sep
arate registration for men and
women and other election officials
have checked up by noting first
names on registration lists.
Western women, 1t was discovered.
are more interested in voting than
are fasteners. Mountain States
had the largest percentage of WON
an voters, and Pacific States the
next. Middle Atlantic States had the
poorest record.
As an indication of what may be
expected this year, the following fig.

Percentage Grows
In 1920. Vermont women cast only
30 per cent Of the Vermont vote.
Their registration now has increased
to AZ per cent of the total registra-

In the Los Angeles primaries this
year As per cent OF the city voters

TT ATURDAY marks TIA hectic
beginning of the frenzied end
of the 1924 baseball season.
Then starts the worlds series be-
tween the New York Giants and the
Washington Senator'S
Riots, murders, and national poll
tics will have only a pallid interest
for the time being. The. spotlight
belongs to baseball.
And it is well.
For baseball is our national sport
IN a real sense. Not from the num-
Der of men actually engaging in it,
but from the universal interest
aroused, and the closeness with
which it is followed by the public.
IN this country it is watched,
known and talked more than any
other sport.
The hold it has is real, and Will
continue, with all classes, so long
as baseball remains the clean,
square sport it is.
It is fashionable for some lofty
minds to sneer at this hold Of base
ball on the American public. But
it is easy to sneer at anything if one
is a good sneerer and tries hard.
And the event in Washington to-
morrow afternoon will be followed
by many people in indianapolis with
an interest and intentness they
wouldn't bestow on a presidential
campaign or the Leopold-Loeb trial
Many would rather have a bleach
er seat and see Walter Johnson
pitch in a world series game than
to have a box seat at the battle of
the Marine.
And they are right

BASIC IA W
MAN-MADE,
SAYS QUICK
Declares Lawyers Mold
Provisions to Benefit
Interests.
By HERBERT QUICK

By HERBERI QUICK
E-J HO is there that believes this
IWi plea by Coolidge, Dawes and
Davis for the Constitution as
the guaranty of freedom, has any
thing in it for the freedom of the
common man?
1t is a man-made Constitution. And
it provides for courts which are not
elective. It's provisions which are
so lauded as safeguards Of liberty
are all the time nodded and bent and
altered by these courts manned by
mere men who have been nearly all
hold office for life.
Freedom of Interests
Any thinker can see that under
such conditions the freedom which
must be protected will be the free
dom of the great interests; and that
the freedom of the common man is
to the same extent taken from him.
And that is just what has been
happening for decades.
Mr.. Dawes had to order out his
Minute Men" to re-elect Judge Hol-
dom in Illinois who had handed
down that decision which let Dawes
bank escape from the penalties of
helping William Lorimer fleece the
people who put their money in the
Lorimer bank.
q Dawes, Davis and Coolidge do not
want elective judges.
They prefer the sort Of judge that
Daugherty put on the Federal
bench who issued that fearful in
junction against the railroad strlk-
ers.
These men prefer court decisions
handed down by men serving for life
rather than by judges who are
forced to go back to the people for
reelection. In other words, they
prefer a judicial oligarchy rather
than a democracy.
In a recent book Hilliare Belloc,
an able British writer, says that the
Americans worship the Constitution.
Why Not Criticise?
II so, it is a very portentious
tHlHg- W men any COnlIoiHlB part
Of any government becomes an OBJ
ject of worship, it ceases to be u
thing which can be criticised.
This election will prove to what
extent we worship the Constitution.
And just to the extent which we
worship it or any other part of our
Government, we have ceased to be
free. No other people in the world
would for a single year endure n
system OF courts which could not
be changed by their votes. or which
dared TO stand permanently in the
way Of the will OF the people in their
Congress assembled.

Auto Speed King Wrecked Car to Save It From
 Going Into Crowd

Altoona, Pa, Sept. 2.-Joe Boyer, Speed king of the automobile world, went to his death on the ltoona speedway yesterday a hero, it be- camee known today when the last words of the pilot were disclosed by the doctors who amputated his crushed legs.
 Examination of the wrecked rac- ing machine showed that blowout caused the accident, and veteran racing men said 1t was a little short of miraculous that the car, speeding at 125 miles an hour. did not run down the bowl and crash into the hundreds of spectators massed in the infeld. This speculation brought out the true story-the fact that Boyer sacrificed himself to save others.
 "I'm glad I saved them" the driver told those who carried him into the hospital, He was fully conscious and nodded his head as friends told the story of how Joe was pinned in his wrecked machine as 1t hung from the upper guard rail of the track.
 The body will be shipped to his hime at Detroit late today. Mrs. Boyer, on an automobile tour, was informed of the accident yesterday at London, Ont. She started for Altoona immediately, but when word of her husbands death reached her at Buffalo, she went di- rect to Detroit,
