special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. March 14-Having
made their first joint genuflection to
the public-for the most part, too, a new
puolic-Doug and Mary were wonder
ing today whether they registered an
other hit or "fizzled out"
The famous Fairbanks-Pickford COM
bination essayed speaking roles for the
nrst time since they entered the movies.
Ihey sat in tiny little room on the
sixth floor of Aeolian Hall. Wednesday
night and, in turn, talked in ordinary
tones into a microphone on a table be-
fore them at station WIZ. The in
Strument carried their voices to the
radio broadcasting mechanism and gave
1t to the silent audience.
Not even the Klieg lights of the movie
studios registered as they worked. There
We're no cheers when they were intro
duced-not even when the radio an
nounccr used the original term, Amer
lca's Sweetheart" when he referred to
Miss Pickford-and there was no ap-
plause when they finished. Their ap-
plauSe from movie audiences comes back
to them in the form OF checks. but
Doug and Mary will never know just
how good or how rotten their new
audience found them as puolic spsaker
Autograph Hounds BuSy.
Anyway, a crowd of autograph hounds
lined the sidewalk as they entered the
building, jammed into the elevator with
them and dogged their steps in the
building. Only u couple of husky Irish

bursting right into the broadcasting
room.
Mary was first on the program.
Whether Doug simply couldn't bear
up under 1T, or perhaps because he
didn't want to add to Mary's embar-
rassment--she choked every now and
then--he walked outside and talked to
the cops at the door. Mary talked to
the movie-Struck girls who might be
listening in, not figuring. perhaps,
that they were at the movies.
It's a long, uphill fight to success
and the equipment, don't go into 1t,
were some of her warning phrases.
But, she gave a note of encourage
ment, "if you believe in yourself
strongly enough, YOU can accomplish
| anything" she said.
Doug Loves Mary.
Doug spoke next. He might have
said, following the custom of after
dinner speakers. "for the first time in
my life l have the last word" but he
didn't. He let it be known just whose
sweetheart Mary is.
There are lots of subjects I'd like
to talk to you about" he began, but
| there's one thought interests you and
point Doug observed the amenities of
the speaking stage by pausing the
customary half minute before say
ing: THAT is-Mary." 1t seemed he
waited another second for cheers,
but none came.

ed to another subject. and, before he
had gotten back to Mary again. he
talked of athletics. his jumps, laugh
ter and half a dozen other things.
Evening star., 1924-03-14

Mary, meanwhile. sat over in another
corner of the room, reading the days
mail as their business representative
handed 1t to her. She didn't even pay
any attention to the nice things Doug
was saying about her.
Imaginary Jump.
''Now," said Fairbanks, pausing
again, did you see that jump? That
was about q fifteen-foot jump. Il did
1T by bringing my knees up to my
chest"
But for once Doug was kidding his
now public. He hadn't even moved
from his seat at the table before the
microphone.
Then the advocated bathroom laugh

laugh at when you get up, he advised,

how such a laugh would sound-a.

He finally managed, very neatly, to

WILL FoRD's FOLLOWING FOLLOW?

The announcement Of Henry Ford that he
would not run for President on any ticket against
Calvin Coolidge is one of the most important de-
velopments Of the residential situation. It means
that the movement that has been in progress to
induce him to enter the presidential race will ter
inmate and that political prognosticators will be
without favorite topic on which to speculate
There is not the slightest question but that Henry
Ford was favored for the Presidency by a large
number Of people throughout the country This
was manifested in many ways. Although he never
expressed desire for the nomination there de-
velopod widespread sentiment in favor of his
selection; and in some states it chrystalized into
organized action Definite announcement of his
determination not to be candidate will give i'm
petus to the candidacy of several other men who
are aspirants for this honor The sentiment which
developed in favor of the nomination of Mr.. Ford
is high compliment to him. 1t was based upon
the conviction of many that the genius that he has
shown in the development and management of
his private industry would find great opportunity
for service in the discharge of the duties of the
nation.
It be forgotten that the motor magnates sup
port may actually ALLEVIATE many who were friend
ly to Coolidge before he (Ford) spoke. There are
financial interests that view Ford with disfavor
The Jews have no occasion to align themselves
with him. There are many others who rate him
as joke in politics. In spite of which, it is a
reasonable assumption that he has helped Cool
idge, but he hasn't decided the next election

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN

A five-mile turn near Charleston,
S. c., was recently saved a death
record through the intelligent and
quick action OF, a Boy Scout.
When two automobiles collided on
the curve, one of the chauffeurs was
badly cut by a broken windshield. An
artery was severed. The man, half
fainting, begged earnestly for assist
ance from the fifty people who had
gathered, sympathetic but helpless to
save the ebbing life. At this critical
moment Scout James Percival Petit,
noticing the crowd, made his way to
the front to discover the trouble.
Seeing the injured mans predica-
ment, the boy Immediately started
work. Taking his neckerchief and a
stick, he made tourniquet This he
applied above the wound and stopped
the flow of blood Them with the aid
of an autoist, he took his patient to
the Roper Hospital. The whole thing
was done so quietly, states local re-
port, that Scout headquarters would
never have heard of the rescue had
not the following letter from a MEM
Der of the hospital staff reached the
Scout executive few days later:
"I wish to congratulate the Boy
Scouts on the efficient work done by
one of your members, thereby saving
the life of Gabe Green, who in an
automobile accident received a severe
lacerated wound of the left hand,
severing one of the large arteries.
The first-aid treatment and the ap-
pllcation OF a tourniquet was done
correctly and neatly and deserves
high praise"

TAX EXEMPTION FARCE MUST END

Will Congress adopt Secretary Melons pro
gram for tax reduction which includes reduction
in income tax and the doing away with taxex-
empt bonds?
The President and the people are in favor of
tax reduction The politicians, through their
blocks and parties in Congress, are pulling and
hauling to try to gain personal prestige through
delays and log rolling in the tax reduction pro-
gram.
A constitutional amendment to do away with
taX-eXempt securities passed the House OF Repre-
sentatives last winter but died at the expiration OF
Congress. 1t is now necessary to pass it again.
This all takes valuable time and shows the waste
and cost resulting where public officials play poll
tics instead Of expediting the business of the
nation.
At the present time it is estimated that the in
come from approximately $50 OO0,OOO,OOO in capital
invested in government tax-eXempt securities, es-
capeS all forms of taxation. The fact that Cities
counties states and nation can issue taX-eXempt
bonds drawing low rate of interest has caused
reckless increase in public debt and has furnished
taxation.
After an amendment to the United States con-
stitution is passed permitting the taxation of in
from future issues of public bonds 1t Will be
necessary for the legislatures Of the various states
to ratify the measure. For this reason, quick
action in Congress is essential in order that state
legislatures which are in session or which will be
in session in the near future may be able to act
on the measure and, if possible, put end to the
present obsolete system which is an invitation for
the reckless piling up of debt on one hand and law
full tax lodging on the other hand.
1t would seem as if Republicans, Democrats
and Progressives would be on common ground
when it comes to a measure Of this kind which
would assure in the future that every person
would pay his share of income tax. Also it would
assure that instead of private industry being
charged an interest premium in order to secure
money to maintain the payrolls and progress of
the nation, it would get money cheaper with re-
sulting reduced costs to consumers all down the
line.
The people want tax reduction. Here is
logical method to secure it by taxing future in
come which will be untaxed if allowed to hide it.

for Congress to cut out politics and get down to
business on this measure.
Promote in every way the interest of your
community for in that way you can best promote
your own interest. And do not overlook the fact
that the kind of town you live in is the kind Of
a town you help make the town you live in.
