ANOTHER LITTLE
SPEEDER WAR

- lORTY-FIVE motorists were
r arrested by Indianapolis po-
IL lice over the weekend for
speeding and other traffic viola
lions. 1t was the biggest week
end haul since last spring, when
a ruthless war against speeders
was on.
There was no sudden outbreak
OF lawlessness to account for the
sudden increase in arrests. Prob
ably drivers didn't step on the
accelerators any harder during
the week before or last month.
The motorists behaved normally,
but the police were supernormally
active. Hence a flock OF arrests.
The reason for the sudden fever
ish activity Of traffic officers was
the proclamation Of the chief scor-
ing them for neglecting their duty,
and the ultimatum he delivered to
them ito get the speeders or get
off the squad"
So they got 'em-forty-five OF
them.
Which proves that the police
can make even traffic violations
uncomfortable when especially
goaded into activity by the heavy
foot of authority and fear of los
ing their jobs.
But how much good is likley to
be accomplished by this latest
speeder war? In aicouple of weeks
1t will be forgotten and automo-
biles will whizz through the
streets as of yore. Law enforce
ment by sporadic outbursts, under
the Indictment of artificial stimula-
ton. gets nowhere in particular.
1t just jounces up and down.

act in a radio setting. Wise show
manship causes them to follow this
idea. Snodgrass plays the popular
songs of the day like many other
performers.
He doesn't try to be n comedian.
He doesn't say a word. He plays the
piano. The public expects him to
play "Three O'clock in the Morning"
his own arrangement Of this former
song hit, and he does.
Snodgrass leaves his audience
honestly wanting more of his kind
of melody. The radio public has
elected SnodgTass as a success and
vaudeville seems to have the same
verdict. He attempts nothing class
Zeal but plays the tunes that the
public demands.
Ben Ryan and Lee Harriet have
an eccentric bit of delicious non
sense. It is noisy but the Snowman
ship of the team really. makes It a
classic. They nearly come to blows,
should say that they do. They
know how to "sell' eccentric

MENDELSSOLN CHOIR
GIVES FALL CONCERT

Opening with an impressive and
beautiful rendition Of the National
Anthem, the Mendelssohn Choir
last night at Caleb Mills Hall gave
what appears to be one OF the most
ambitious and inspiring perform
ances Of their career.
In the "Omnipotence." by Shubert,
the choir sang as II the deep re-
ligious fervor Of the master had
been communicated TO them. They
gave this song all the beauty that
the composer had written into Il.
The Ave Maria, from "Otello'
sung in Italian by the women's
voices had that high spiritual quality
that only comes with the groupinc
Of many women. II had a lifting e.
feet entirely away from the heavy
and dramatic tone accompanying
chorus OF men.
one number that had proven e.
self worthy Of a repeat on request
was the Border Ballad the words
being those Of tho chorus Of an old
marching song by Sir Walter Scott
The male voices Of the choir carried
this number with all the lit and
swing one would imagine those old
Scottish warriors put into II them.
selves.
The high point OF the Choir's Of.
fering came though with the sing
ing Of the chorus 'Tu rs Petrus
from that magnificent composition Of
List. "C'hristus." II carries the
solemn beauty OF tho church
throughout the ages; n feeling is
there Of something deep and noble,
OF something that is everlasting.

soloist on the program. From his

III. The Threat to Mexico.
By William Philip Simms

Ell ASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Sec-
W| rotary Kellogg's sudden and
sizzling threat to Mexico last
June was not only the biggest mis-
take of his own bare eight months
in office. but was one of the most
serious diplomatic plumbers of the
decade.
Just when everybody thought all
was serene, the Kellogg note to Mex
leo burst upon the world like bolt
from the blue. Genuinely startled
the public of two nations sat up,
scarcely realizing what had hap
pened. Americans, the note said, in
effect, were being mistreated in Mex
leo and it would have to stop. Other
wise should revolutionists seek to
overthrow President Calles-and
there was already talk of such a
thing-why this country would let
them work their will.
Such was the Kellogg warning.
For years this country had patiently
tried to make Mexico and the rest
of Latin America look upon the
United States as their big brother.
Now the big brother role was
dropped in jiffy and in its place
was the big stick, naked and undis-
guised.
Like Ultimatum
Cracking like an ultimatum, the
Kellogg note stung all Mexico to
anger. President Gales at once
branded it as an insult and "a
threat to the sovereignty of Mexico
that she could not overlook" Nor
did she. Her reply, drafted by Gales
himself, fairly sizzled along the
wires between Mexico City and
Washington.
Furthermore delegations from the
Mexican Senate and Chamber of
Deputies, the army, the federation
of labor, and other popular organi'
cations, spontaneously waited upon
Gales to tell him they stood with
him to a man. All in all the incident
was probably without precedent in
all the peacetime dealings between
sovereign nations.
1t seemed an open invitation to
rebellion. IF de la Huerta Is not

Times are good, so we say, and we have IN

We think of comfortable conditions Immediate
ly about us as supporting our idea that pros

land speculation in Florida of hectic happen
ings in Wall Street, and of more millions than
ever before being wagered at the race tracks
as dramatizing the presence of prosperity
Yet here is letter from middle western
farming State:
AS you, perhaps, know, the price of
corn is now around so cents bushel and
with three-million- bushel crop which took
70 to 70 cents bushel to produce, the farm
err is again facing stark ruin. The whole stu
alton is back again to conditions prevailing
four years ago.
Banks are failing right and left. Farm
ers are going to the wall in droves. The
collapse is widespread and extremely alarm
ing. In one week six banks failed in one
congressional district.
'NThree weeks ago l received a letter
from my parents in the northeastern corner
of the State to the effect that the bank in
which they kept their money had gone to the
wall Last week my wife received letter
from her parents in the southwestern corner

which they had their money had closed its
doors That gives you an indication Of the
spread of the thing"

prosperous parts of the country to pause.
