My Aunty Flapper's caught
the craze to pattern after
youthful ways; she loves the
pirlish PAGES. Her painted
iowls defies the stage-besldes
her other camOufage, in various
other places. She never does a
thing by halves, an so displays
her fatted calves with native
erudition. She spends a
lot fer fancy hose-till every
skinny neighbor knows she
banters indiscretion! I couldn't
say her wealth of bust was
somethin' to excite disgust in
any whiskered artist. in fact |
wouldn't sign MY name to any
dope that carries blame to one
who looks her smartest. "This
world is all f1eetin' show
our transient natur' makes it so,
we're all averse to sorrow,
and, while we can't guess
Aunty's age, because of that-air
camouf1age- she may be gone
tomorrow! And while she trav-
els with a zip, ] reckon we
should let her rip, with girlX-
girly JUNCTION. My heirs
can't throw much dust at me, if |
prove good an pure as she, when

THE PALACE.

"Men." Po1a Negri's latest starring vehicle produced by Paramount, and which will be presented at the Palace on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, proves that story may be a great tragedy, yet end happily. Dimitri Buchowetzki, noted Europe,< author and director, came to this country for the express purpose of di recting the production with results that are proving most satisfactory to that vast picture loving portion of the theater going public.
 The picture dramatizes the heartless prosecutions which countless women suffer at the hands of the stronger measures which women sometimes adopt in their battle against life.
 "Cleo," the role which Po1a Negri creates in Men" is the cumulative effect of the many magnificent char acters the star ha splayed since she first flashed meteor-1ike, across the worlds dramatic sky.
 A waitress in a cheap restaurant of French seaport town, Cleo keeps watchful eye upon her father, a de crepit musical, who provides music for the guests. One night a hand some stranger attracts her attention, and for the first time the young girl experiences the emotion of love.
 The stranger bribes Francois, pen niless ancient who Is on intimate terms with Cleo's father, to persuade the girl to go to Paris. There she is promised a career as a dancer. By pre- arranged accident, the stranger appears on the same train by which Cleo and Francois go to Paris. The love interest in the stranger ripens in CleO's heart. In Paris the Wily Fran COis disappears, after receiving his money, leaving Cleo alone.
 Frightened Cleo accepts the strang- CTS offer to take her to his sisters home where she is introduced to an elderly roue but the sister Is not in evidence. The stranger dimes sumptu- ously, fills his pockets with cigars and disappears when the opportunity offers elaving Cleo with the old roue.
 The following morning, Cleo carry

LEARN TO ARBITRATE
 SAY BUSINESS MEN

New York, May 1O-Business men in this city are rggtibinrr IIIII in this city are urging arbitration as a substituet for law suits, as provided by state law passed four years ago. In ful1-page advertisement published in the local press the business men appeal to their associates to settle d1erences be- tween themselves and to cease booming involvd i'll costly legal procedure.
 No need to tell you that the justice we are getting i'll the legal determination of our business controversies IS deadly sloy; that the courts are congested; that the cost of litigation to us Ill money and wased time and prolonged anxieties and other evils is almost prohibtive"' the business men say. You know all this But all of you do not know that the re- medy is in your hands.
 Tt has been i'll your own hands for four years-ever since the legislature of this state i'll 1920 enacted the arbitra- ton law. Probably not 10 per cent. of our New York usibness men know of this law, of the power it gives them, of the practical benefits 1t puts within their easy reach
 "The fact is that under this law busi ness men can legally determine their con- troversies without delay, without the pu'.;;>,:.e... oI Q court trial, at a trif1ing cost, in simple proceeding free from legal technicalities. and before arbitra- tors selected by themselves"
 It is stated that the volume of busi ness before the arbitration tribunal is growing. The new arbitration law meets the requirements of justice ill vast ma jority of business controversies that hinge upon questions of fact.
 That is why the courts right up to the United States supreme court uphold the policy of arbitration the statement adds T

Box Board Industry

 The conference was called by Secre- tary of Labor Davis, who told these business men that legislation would outlaw the long work day if they do not act. The cabinet official read a letter from President Coolidge. who expressed the hove that you may find a method to abolish the. alternating week of 11hour and 13-hour shifts"

 Years elapse an dwe find the girl has become the most famous dancer in Paris. Her beauty and her brilliance are universally admired. Many men contend for her favors but she is known as the woman who takes all mad gives nothing.

RalStOn Is HOnOred

Washington, May 1O-Prior to his de- parture for California, Jackson H. Rals- ton, for years counsel for the American Federation of Labor was rendered a din- ner by more than 300 friends. President Gonpers spoke for labor. Those present included representatives of every walk of life many of whom have opposed Mr. Ralston's economic and political views, but who now testied to his unselhshness and his ability.
 He is considered an authority on questions involving human liberty taxa tion and international law. He estab- lished his name in the latter field in the pious fund cases before The Hague tri- bunal and in the Venezuela claims.
 His first case before the United States supreme court as a youth. was for the right of jury trial in police court Last week he probably made his last appear. ance before that court in pleading for a jury trial in contempt cases.

PARTISANSHIP HURTS DEMOCRACY'S CAUSE

Springfield, Mass, May 1O.-Blind partisanship was brandde as "the curse of democracy" by Governor Sweet of Colorado in all address to a conference of church men i'll this city.
 "Corruption at Washington" he de clared, ,""was caused by blind ac ceptance of the will of the majority imposed by false leaders,"
 "A group of courageous, intrepid senators who would not swear ale glance to the majority in their own party made possible the exposure,' he said. Majority rule is a spacious cry when the government is being plum dered by a corrupt majority.
 Party leaders, both republican and democratic, stand bound and dumb before the fetish of party regularity. We need to read and think more in dependent1y. More and more the in dependent voter without party bias holds the balance of power i'll this country
 Governor Sweet declared the cleo ton of good men IS not enough. Their efforts are often made futile by cor rupt business influences which will not permit honesty in government. Special privilege wants the vast gov ernment resources of coal and timber lands, water power and oil, the governor asserted.
 Again and again we have been told that individual initiative and freedom are fundamental to democracy" he said. ''I agree, but democracy does not demand that few shall survive while the many perish; that initiative shall be stimulated in the lives of our captains of industry while this spirit Is being crushed out of the soul of the workers.
 The fundamental cause of the failure of democracy today is the un- just, unworthy and wicked practices of organized wealth. America will be able to serve as democracy, not through material development, desir- able as 1t may be, but through broth erhood expressed in the processes of our economic life"

Interest and Taxes
 Eat Farm Products

Washington, May 10.-Four- -sev- enths, or nearly one-half of the total farm income of this country IS taken to pay taxes and interest on mort gages and debts, according to a re- gages and debts, according to a re- port made by the house committee on agriculture.
 The committee favors the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill, designed to create $2OO,OOO,OOO government cor poration that will buy and sell ex- portable farm products whenever a special emergency Is declared.
 The committee drew a gloomy pie lure of the agricultural situation. It was stated that one-half as many banks faield between 1920 and 1923 as during the whole period from 1902 to 1923.
 One-quarter of the farm owners in the corn and wheat belts are bank rupt and more than 1,120,000 farmers and hired men deserted the farm i'll 1922 to seek industrial employment.
 Above all, the report states, the purchasing value of farm products is less than half what it was before the war.

Eastland Victims
 Lose Damage Suit

Chicago, May 10-A jury has ex- onerated the city of Chicago from all blame in connection with the over turning of the steamer Eastland in the Chicago river July g, 1915, when SIP lives were lost. The suit was a test case. If the city had been found negligent, damage suits aggregating possibly $10,000,O00 would be vled.
 The East1and was built for the freight packet trade across Lake Mich igan and was considered a seaworthy vessel To fit her 10 rthe passenger service cabins were built on her upper deck. This made her top heavy. Or ganized workers employed in the i've font called attention to the dan ge of the new Eastland.
 While tied to the dock and cowded witrh excursionists on that fateful July morning, the vessel rolled over and amid indescribable scenes more than 800 men, women and children lost their lifes.
 Every attempt to collect damages from the vessels owners has failed In refusing to order the extradition of siq defendants in 1916, Federal Judge Sessions of Grand Rapids, Mich. ruled that the defendants could not be blamed as the Eastland was considered" safe by owners, man. agers and navigators

SECRET TAX RETURNS REJECTED
 BY THE SENATE
STr, !. KnOWitt

Washington, May 10-The adminis tration erceived the hardest jolt since it came into power when the senate voted for full publicity of tax returns. The majority party attempted to pla- cate a popular demand for this public ity by presenting a carefully drawn provision in the Mellon bill that would allow inspection of tax details only by authorized congressional committees. The senate rejected this proposal and publicity.
 By practically the same vote the senate adopted another provision which will give public access to all income tax payments and the subse quent decisions on such pleas.
 Under the present law, nothing is more sacredly guarded than income tax returns and refunds of taxes. The latter is increasing by leaps and bounds and now runs into the mil lions of dollars on the word of treas ury officials. The proceedings are con- sidered as a confidential matter be- tween treasury officials and the tax claimant.
 This addition in the Mellon tax bifl brings anguish to the old guard. Every effort will be made to recon sider these two votes which permit popular enlightenment on large in comes.
