 ROAD CONVENTION
Expect Two Presidents At AL
 Buquerque Meet @

With railroads offering tourist rates to the joint good roads conventions in Albuquerque, N. M., May 26-31, ant national, state and municipal officialA signifying their intention of attending, enthusiasm continues to monut ahigher and higher over the coming festivities.
 While the home offices of the good road associations are in Birmingham, a branch office has been established permanently in Albuquerque, it was announced. One of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds of good roads boosters is predicted for the conyen- ton. ,e\
 President Coolidge has tentatively agreed to be present; while President Obregon of Mexico has also been ex- tended an invitation. Two cabinet members, acting Vice President Cum miRs, a number of state governors, United States senators, state highway commissioners and engineers and coun. ty road officials land contractors have accepted inyitations to attend the con. vention.

PASSION PLAYERS
 SHELTER APPEAL
Coolidge Shortens Audience When Politics Are Discussed

WASHINGTON, March 15.--In- lection of what White House officials described as political discussions"- Into a visit to the White House today of the o Oberammergau Passion Players caused President Coolidge to cut short his re- .ception testhem.
 The Passion Players were received by the President in his office just before the usual public group. After the play CTS, numbering about 15, had shaken hands with the President, they grouped themselves at one side of the office and Ludwig Nissen of New York, chairman of the American. reception committee, delivered short address which White House officials later said contained an appeal to the American government to interpose itself in the German situa: tion. This, 1t was added, offended the President, because of its violation of the international custom against presenta- tion of appeals by private citizens of one country or their unofficial spokes- men direct to the head of another gov ernment. IA
 President Coolidge in his response made no reference to political phases of Mir. Nisson's address, and merely bespoke welcome to the Passion Play CTS because of their fame as depictors of the life of Christ, and because of their model lives. q.
 At the conclusion of the response, Mir. Nissen turned to introduce Anton Lang, the "Christus" of the last three pas sion plays, who also had prepared an address, but the President ended the reception by asking that those waiting outside his office to shake hands with him be admitted.

Migratory Workers On Califor'
 mia Farms Will Be Guided In Travels

: SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 15.-.- (By the Associated Press. )-Migratory farm workers of California, an army numbering more than 125, 900, moving in desultory way from one harvest Ito another, are to be guided in their ramblings by cooperative farm la bor exchange, launched here by farm CTS of northern and central California.
 Organization of the farm labor ex- change is being perfected. Its chief purpose will be to stabilize labor and equalize. the supply in all counties.
 J. A. .Teagarden of Auburn, Cal, elected head of the exchange said the question of labor was perhaps the most important one facing the American farmer. The farmers themselves must solve this difficulty, he contended. The new organization plans to study the labor situation and fix a wage scale for farm hands. Through the activities of the exchange it is hoped that farmers will be kept from bidding against one another for labor. Thus, 1t is pointed out, farm workers will have more stable and permanent form of employ ment.
 -.sWe must have standard wages, said Dallas H. Gray, representative of one of the counties. HThe farmers cannot afford to be bidding against themselves. Justice must be done the working man and he must be kept from shifting con stantly about every time he hears a rumor of higher wages in another sec tion. easa
 s.We will have offices throughout the state and they will direct laborers as they are needed in the various districts. The exchange also will assist in keep ing workers constantly employed by knowing in advance the dates when harvesting begins in the different sec tions."
 It was said that fixing wage scale was not intended to force down the pay of farm labor below the cost of living, but rather was to prevent labor '.thefts." The exchange also will inves tigate and report on better housing and better working conditions for the farm employees. shx~~ M
 1t is the greatest cooperative effori ever launched by American farniers,' in the. belief of Mir. Teagarden.

Plans Put Under Way By Arm +. strong Perry

CHICAGO, March 15.-Consolida tion of the Lone Scouts of America with the Boy Scouts of America, where by the membership of the Boy Scouts will be increased from 600, GOO to 700,- 900 was begin here today.
 The merger was sanctioned recently by the executive board of the Boy Scouts at meeting at New York. and Armstrong Perry, former chief pioneer scout of the Boy Scouts, was commis- stoned to devise means of effecting the amalgamations.

 The Lone Scout movement, primarily designed for country boys was started in 1915 by W. D. Boyce of Chicago | who also was responsible for the start ing of the Boy Scouts in the United States because of good turn" done by a Boy Scout for him in London.

ssSeeing Things at Night
By HAYWOOD BROuN

author is just a shade too militantly moral. It seems to us that no enduring harm has come to the young man. His tragedy can hardly endure year, six months in fact, beyond the final curtain.
 Possibly the author knows that, too, but he does not speak of it. He is too sympathetic toward his hero to- abate one jot of the utter dignity of his emo ti0ns.
 Quite evidently Vadja is sophisticated person. Only a sophisticated person can write ,intelligently and emOtionally of disillusion. That is the theme of the play. George believes that the woman has giv- en herself to him for love. He finds that it was no more than a fitful, pas sionate prank. He watches her in agony at the end when she goes back to the city with her husband. She meant none of the things she said or, rather, she meant them only at the time. h. deed, she feels that he ought to have known that such VOWS and promises are never kept. He didn't know.
 The mood throughout is curious and appealing. To many the first act seemed no more than an exceedingly delft and clever risque story. Actually it is a good deal more than that. It is almost as if travelling man had told a tale to Anatole France, who later repeated the same apecdOte in his own fashion. True tenderness is. found only among the cynics. All things which are worth cry. ing about must be related by some one who smiles.
 Possibly as you declare in your dis cussion of Mister Pitt" writes William Allen White, the characterization of the woman who left good man to go with scoundrel-if one may call names to designate dramatic figures-does in- dicate that Miss Fale, who wrote Mis- ter Pitt knows more of Morals heart than Ibsen. She should know more. She lives in a wiser and brighter world than Ibsen's world. We know pretty we'll now that sex attraction does not follow what we loosely call moral lines. The good are no more likely to find mates than the bad. Love is called forth by certain temperamental, distinctions; not by ex- cellence of character. A man may be bad lot and have as many loving wives as the undertaken will take away-and happy ones. too. Or he may be good and yearn all his life for woman unless he finds one who is drawn to him by his temperament, which may be most attrac- tive or not, without reference to his in- tegrity. his kindness or the way he pays his debts.
 ''In Mister Pitt the heroine picks the hero not for a lover but for part ner in the painting and paperhanSinS business. and because she has to marry him to keep him a partner she kicks up the devils own row with his life and hers. When she meets a man whose temperament for Heaven knows just what it is) attracts her. behold she loves him, andFthat's all there is to it.
 "In this modern world we are all learning much. So a nice girl from Port age, Wis, appears with story as wise as Ibsen's."
