Sea Hawk" it was a sure thing that
Sills soon would be a star. In the
"O'Malley" movie, Stills is cast as
New York policeman who is as
hard as nails. His superior officers
recognized his worth, and to make
him human" they make q traffic
cop out of O'Malley. There we see
what little feet does to hard and big
hands. In the softening of O'Malley
you see and feel the influence Of a
little crippled girl, played by the
Rowland child.
In the background you discover
the faces of crooks, bootleggers and
others that the police must deal with
while on duty. But standing out
in the story is the love theme which
concerns Stills and Dorothy Mackaill.
The traffic shots in New York are
the real article. I think that when
you leave the Circle this week that
most Of your love and understand
ing will be centered around Helen
Rowland.
1t is true that Stills is called upon
to do any great amount of heavy
work but the entire picture is fairly
satisfying entertainment, tho sort
that appeals to the entire family,
but it is not the kind that Sills
should star in.
I found some bad judgment in
showmanship used by Seymour
Simons' orchestra or rather by the
man who did the announcing and
attempted to sing. 1 sat near the
stage and it was difficult for me 10
understand what this man was try
ing to sing. HIS vocal efforts should
be eliminated for the best results.
There is no doubt that this man can
write the songs of the day but he
can't sing EN-. Just why he an
nounces the number when the cleo
trio board at the Circle does splendid
silent announcing, is beyond me.
Among the numbers played by the
orchestra are Sunrise" "Simon
Medley" Got No Time" Little
Red Headed Boy" Just A Drink"
and "Nola" in which a banjo player
shows that he is the real article.

unit cost of the different operations.
This reply was made in response to in
quiries as to how much philanthropy was in
volved in the company's shift from the twelve
hour day to the eight-hour day.
Though the company made an increasc4in
the hourly wage scale, and agreed to pay a
man who had been earning $12 for twelve
hour day, $40 for an eight-hour day. there will
be no increase in costs.
1t is not surprising that this result should
be obtained. In every industry where long
hours have been abandoned and the eight hour
schedule adopted, it has been found that men
are more productive in proportion toYthe time
applied to their work
The eight-hour day is both humane and
practical. That it is humane should be
enough to cause it's general adoption That it
is also practical-that it will even pay divi-
dends-leaves even its hard headed" oppon-
ents without sound of objection.

SCIENTISTS SIGHT. COMETS
AT GREAT DISTANCE AWAY

None of the three will approach
close enough TO the earth to be Wis
IDLE without the aid of a telescope.
Schain's comet is the most inter
esting. 1t is 4OO,O0O,OO miles away,
yet visible in the telescope.
Comets are not usually visible at
that distance. This means that
Schain's comet is a giant among
comets. Were it to approach closer
to the earth, it's tail would be Wis
ible as a great streak Of fire across
the sky.
When a comet is at a great dis
lance from the sun. it has no tail.
The closer it gets to the sun. the
larger the tail grows.
AS a result. astronomers believe
that the tail is composed of some
extremely thin gaseous matter which
is pushed out Of the head or nucleus
of the comet by the effect of the
suns rays upon it.
NEW reason for keeping a
liAI fashionably thin figure is

WI Americas direct financial
~ stake in the peace and
prosperity of foreign nations has
now reached the record figure Of
$50, 900, 100000, according to com
pilations Of the Department Of Com
merce.
This sum, which approximates
5000 for every man, woman and
child in the United States, is divided
almost equally between loans made
by private individuals and by the
United States Government.
While the Government is engaged
in attempts to collect the debts
owed it by foreign governments,
private investors are continuing to
lend great sums to Europe, to
Canada and South America, and to
the Orient and Australia.
In the first six months of 1925
the total of these private loans ex-
ceeded $3.50 100000, or so per cent
more than during the first half of
1924. Three-fourths of these new
loans went to foreign governments
and one-fourth to private Industries
located abroad A year ago nearly
all loans made by Americans to
foreign countries went direct to the
governments.

view of world finance indicates two

2. That the United States is with
out a rival in financing the needs of
both governments and industries, no
matter in what part of the world
they are located.
Just after the close of the World
War nearly all loans made by Amer
lean Investors abroad were guar
anteed by foreign governments, or
made to The governments themselves.
Americans would not take a chance

gether likely that private loans will
soon overtake loans to governments.
During the first half of 1925, while
American loans were making big
increases over the same period in
1924 foreign loans made by Great
Britain fell almost to zero. Except
for loans made to some of the Brit

The extent to which the United
States has replaced England as
world banker is further revealed by
Australias present negotiations for
a large loan in New York. Never
before has Australia attempted to
place it's bonds elsewhere than in
London, but now, owing to the in
ability of England to advance the
money, Australian bonds aggregat-
ing 500, 000 900 will be sold to pri-
vate investors in the United States.

The World Over
BY Chester H. Rowell

(T7HE spectacle is predicted in
the next Congress of the
IL Demtctats ut-Melloning
Mellon. Instead of cutting the
maximum suttax to 25 per cent,
as Mellon proposes, some Of the
Democratic leaders are talking of
half that.
The argument, according to cy-
nical Washington correspondents,
who never see any but votegetting
motives. is that last year the
Democrats tried the experiment
of joining with the insurgents. on
the Imposition that it was popu-
lar t lower the taxes on small in
comes and keep them UP on large
ones.
But, from the election, they con-
cluded that there was something
unpopular about their party. and
inferred that it must be this. So
now they may try the reverse
policy to see if that is any more
popular.
How would it be for somebody
to consider, not popularity, but
right? Fortunately, in financial
matters the right policy eventually
becomes the popular one.
It vindicates itself by its prac-
teal operation. Taxes may be too
low, as we'll as too high. Results
tell.
4" HE worst way to adjust
taxes is to try either to
~ "cinch the rich" or to bluff
the poor.
If you really succeed in cinch-
ing the rich, you usually injure
the poor, by lowering wages, rails
ing prices and increasing unem-
ployment.
More often you do not succeed,
but merely bluff the poor into
thinking that you have done. so.
The very tax that seems to favor
the poor is likely to be the one
which they pay themselves, most
burdensomely.

Bus Progress Stopped

fTl HE public service COMMISSION through It's
ruling on the motor bus situation, mas
stopped for the time being progress IN trans
portation in Indianapolis
The decision as a whole SINNERS down to
the proposition that existing transportation
lines bus and street car, shall continue to oper-
ate but that there shall be no additional bus
lines
The ruling has ben described as contain
inc elements Of both victory and defeat for
both the indianapolis Street Railway Company
and the Peoples Motor Coach Company. AS
matter of fact, the ruling was almost COM
plete victory for the street car company.
Both the car company and the motor
coach company asked permission to operate
additional bus lines, but it was obvious from
the beginning that the object of the car COM
nanv was merely to offer motor bus competi-
ton to the bus company The car company
probably is glad enough to be denied the right
to operate additional motor BUSES so long as
the bus company is denied the same privilege.
The. commission has taken the attitude
that citizen in given community is entitled
to transportation but not to choice OF trans
portation. IF there happens to be no bus line
in his neghborhood he must either ride street
car or buy fivver, regardless of the wish OF
the bus company to serve him with what might
be his favorite form Of transportation.
The reason for all this, the commission
says, is that it is attempting to avoid "ruinous
competition" Such "ruinous competition,
when it existed among some Indianapolis utili-
ties used to serve to keep rates down and serv-
ice up, but the commission does not recall this
fact As a matter of fact, the commission says
something entirely different
Competing bus service, the commission
says, borrowing an expression from the terrible
Darwin, would result in question of 'sur-
vival of the fttest" Evidently the commits
sion does not believe in evolution. We always
held the hereto opinion that progress is accom-

eve have passed the period when the pub
lie is required to stand back and pay expensive
overhead and all the bills of duplication of
service, while one utility is at the other s
throat trying to run it out of business, so that
it may have monopoly in that particular
field, says the commission.
By all MEANS gentlemen, let's don't let
anybody strive to obtain a monopoly. Let s
protect the monopolies already in existence.
Do you remember the days when one tele-
phone company was engaged in ''ruinous COM
