Star of Venus" at Rylandel
Tuesday Has All the
Graces

Venus de Milo, the marble classic
of the Louvre, has long been com
monty regarded as an example OF
perfection in feminine proportions,
Now American artists and SCENT
SITS assert that armless figure is
coarse and gross when compared
with the Figure of our girls in gen
eral, and Nyra Brown in particular.
Miss Brown, who by remarkable
coincidence, is starring in Geo. E.
Wintz's opulent extravaganza We
nus" is declared by such eminent
authorities as Howard Chandler
Christy. Charles Dana Gibson,
Coles Phillips, Dr. W. A. Evans and
Frederick Macmonnies to embody
all the graees of modern woman
kind.
That there is nothing remarkable
in the physical perfection of Miss
Brown is treated in an article in the
Medical Review, of which the fol
lowing is an excerpt:
Science we'll knows that it has
taken ages to attain the present per
lection in both the animal and We.
getable kingdoms. Man of. War is
not the result of chance but of many
centuries of studied breeding. The
aromatic Havana is not produced
from the rank weeds such as Sill
Raleigh brought to the Virgin Queer
Time and care are both requisites
1t is therefore not to be marveled

steal comedy star Of considerable
magnitude, we find a human body
that, according to all standard, is

disappearing as man she seeks
to hide herself in Africa where she
is thrown into maelstrom of ex-
ieitement, adventure and romance.
This briefly is the theme of "Pon-
jola," which is a coming attract
tion at the Rylander.
'Ponjola" is a vivid picturiza-,
ton of Cynthia Stockley's famous
masterpiece of South African gold
field life, which proved a sensation
in book form and promises to be no
! less of a sensation as screen
drama.
It tells the story of an English
noblewoman who is disguised as a
man, fights the curse of "Ponjola, :"
the soul-destroying drink of the
gold miners; fights for the man she
loves and willingly offers to sacri-
flee herself for the man by stand

commits.

Coal Miners Wages
Don't Affect Prices

Indianapolis-The anti-union claim
that organized miners wages are re-
sponsible for high coal prices is agair
proven untrue.
Miners wages in anti-union fields
have been reduced but these mines
are not operated more continuously
than union mines, nor are the anti
union coal owners reducing the mar
ket price of their commodity.
Reports to headquarters of the
United Mine Workers show that in
the anti-union fields of West Vir-
ginia and Somerset county, Pennsyl-
vania, wages are down to 1917 rates,
and in some instances below these
figures. One West Virginia concern
has cut wages to $2.88 a day for un-
derground men and $3.50 for work
above ground. Similar rates are paid
in the anti-union sections of Ken
lucky.
The United Mine Workers Journal
calls attention to the coal owners
claim that union wages prevent them
from marketing coal. This claim is a
trick. They have secured wage reduc-
tions, but they are not selling coal.
Government reports show that in the
anti-union fields of Somerset county
and in West Virginia production is no
greater than in the organized fields,
where living wage is demanded.

AFTER FALL
THREE TEAPOT DOME HEROES
ARE INDICTED
Federal Grand Jury Brings in Report
on Last Day 1t Could Legally
Deal With Oil Frauds

Washington-Albert B. Fall, one of
the foremost bosses in the Republican
party in the last presidential cam
paign, and secretary of the interior
during the first half of the Harding
administration, has at last been in
dicted, by a federal grand jury here,
for corrupt conspiracy with the Do
henys and Harry F. Sinclair to give
away the naval oil reserves.
Edward Doheny, jr., and Harry
Sinclair have likewise been indicted
as members of the conspiracy with
Fall. The indictments were returned
the last day upon which the grand
jury could legally deal with the oil
frauds.
The grand jury indicted Fall on
three counts: conspiracy with the Do
henys to give them, without competi-
tive bidding, the naval oil reserves in
California; conspiracy with Sinclair
to give the latter the Teapot Dome
naval oil lands in Wyoming, under
like illegal conditions; for his ac-
ceptance of a bribe from the Do
henys, amounting to 100000, to in
fluence his decision while acting as
secretary of the interior in disposing
of these naval oil reserves. The Do
henys are named in a fourth indict-
ment as having bribed Fall in this
instance.
The Teapot Dome deal with Sinclair
is described as enormously profit
able" in it's terms to Sinclair's Mann
moth Oil Corporation.
The delivery by young Doheny to
Fall of the famous suitcase filled with
81 900 bills is described in the third
indictment as conspiracy on part of
Fall "corruptly, secretly and surrep-
tiously to accept, from Edward l..
Doheny and Edward L. Doheny, jr.,
large sums of money as loans and
gifts whereby the United States was
to be deprived of the benefits of
competition and of an honest, unbias-
ed, impartial and unprejudiced serv-
ice"
The story of leases of the naval
oil reserves and of the letting of the
illegal and secret contracts for con-
struction of storage tanks at seaboard
by the Doheny and Sinclair COM
panies, is told in the indictment. 1t
sums up the disclosures made before
the Walsh committee, which disclos-
ures forced the Coolidge administra-
ton to dismiss Secretary of the Navy
Denby and forbid Atty. Gen. Daugh-
erty to have anything to do with the
prosecution of the conspirators.

ton association was informed by a
committee that has studied this sub
ject.
The report stated that although
there are 4,931,905 acknowledged
illiterates in America, the committee
is convinced there are more than
double this number who either were
overlooked in census taking or who
have concealed their illiteracy. The
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-07-18

report emphasized that more than
8 .0OO,OOO of the acknowledged litter
ates are native-born.
"Aside from a menace to govern
ment and handicap to citizenship" +"
the report said, "the effects of illit-
eracy on commerce and labor are
highly deleterious."
1t was asserted that illiteracy Of
parents is the chief barrier to school
attendance.
