DON'T MISS FEATURE
AT OHIO THIS WEEK

When the name Of James Cruise is
on a movie. the film patron has a
substantial reason to believe that
the director has done a careful job
Cruze directed 1.-THE Covered
Wagon" and his lates. release is
1.-The Goose Hangs High"
1t is a story OF an American fam
lily with a fiapper. young sheik, a
grandmother who is very old-fash-
Toned. a modern mother and father
who builds a real home.
You will meet two real youngsters
in it. that is youthful actors-Con-
stance Bennett. who acts a great
deal like Ruth Gordon did in
Clarence" and Seventeen" and
Edward Pell Jr.. a lad who is there.
These two young people do not
have to act. They know the spirit
and thoughts Of the young folk to-
day. Both do a great deal OF flap
ping, but when the shouting is over
they still are the real goods.
The thing I like about the charac-
ters in this American Main st. home
is that they are real. They seem
to do the things that real people do
in the real American home. A flap
per is not menace. II is simply
a term which characterizes the ac-
tons Of young people who have in
dependence and a whole lot of per-
sonality.
The Goose Hangs High" was a
success on the stage with Mrs.
Thomas Whiffen as Granny" who
thought all young people were going

released him with a dollar fine and
a lecture.
Which penalty is more likely to
promote highway safety and re-
duce accidents--revocati of H.
cense or a dollar lecture?
Loss of license hurts the victim.
1t removes him from the highways
as effectually as a year in prison.
Perhaps it seems severe in a case
where there was neither death nor
dismemberment.
However. the number of auto
mobile accidents falls or rises with
the rigor' or laxity with which
driving laws are enforced. Street
accidents are most numerous when
the police war against speeders
smolders.
intoxicated drivers are admitted
ly dangerous and cause many ac-
cidents. With them reprimands
and exaction of total abstinence
pledges are ineffective. Revoca-
ton OF license curbs them. A
thirsty offender can't backslide
from that.

fair with Bobby Austin. played by
Ben Lyon Bobby was only a clerk
In an English office and just how
this juvenile could be Of such i'm
portance in the society world is be-
yond me. To my way Of thinking,
this basic idea makes the story un.
convincing and weak. But Lady
Hutton decided that she was going
to prevent Bobby marrying a girl
Of his own age. She decided to
force him to be a cheaat at cards.
She succeeds but, of course, is dis
covered. 1t is then that Anna @.
Nilsson does some wonderful but I'M
great acting when she grows old
and ugly right before your very
eyes. A splendid piece of work In
an ordinary story. When she is
old and ugly, she learns that her
husband loves her more than ever.
Happy ending.
take it that the story is ultra
English but the director has placed
American types in the roles and
this destroys the needed English at
mosphere. Ben Lyon is rightly cast
as he plays the role of an American
chap.
Miss Nilsson is easyto conceive as
an English lady Of fashion, but her
companions are not. There is some
had casting in this movie.

straight to the devil. But Granny
is a rel sort after all.
Where there is a fiapper and a
sheik in a home you will be sure to
find a ukelele and lot Of fox trotting
and many wise remarks. The young
sheik in this story even discusses
sex and the influence OF the home
upon the ideals Of the youth today.
They make 1t difficult for Granny to
keep pace with their strange lingo
as "the cats tonsils" and such jazzy
remarks, but Grandma sails pretty
fast, even in her old day. She has
her doubts about the true meaning
OF certain remarks, but she has her
own vocabulary also.
Here is good American family
life story which rings true. The
types are not overdrawn, but ring
true. Here is a picture that the
whole family may attend with
pleasure.

THE H0RSESHOERS'
CONVENTION

ri HE Master Horseshoers of
Indiana will hold their
~ twenty-sixth annual con-
vention at Auburn tomorrow. The
meeting won't excite public inter
est; it is only an unpretentious
gathering of a minor craft.
7 After the business session, dele
gates will be taken for an aItomo-
bile ride. What an incongruity!
Like a brewmasters' convention
adjourning for an ice cream social.
A generation ago. horseshoers
were Important personages. The
village smithy bulked large in
song. story and community life,
and it's artisan-proprietor was the
town authority on metallurgy and
metal working.
Barefooted village urchins paused
at the shop door entranced by the
anvl's slang, the shooting sparks
and the acrid smell OF sizzling
equine hoofs. Many boys Of that
period wavered between black
smithing and Indian scouting as a
life work.
Now all is changed. The village
blacksmith shop has been relegat-
ed to obscurity. Tire shops. filing
stations and garages elbow 1t into
alleys. Mechanically inclined
urchins tinker with radio or steal
automobiles.
Many people will be surprised to
know there are enough horse
shoers extant to hold a conven-
ton.
But though the grandeur that
was Rome and the glory that was
Greece has departed from the
trade. and youth no longer wor-
ships at his shrine. the horseshoer
still f1ourishes. He will continue
in a minor key until the horse
lays down his burden.

PARTNERSHIP
OR JOB

7RS. CLARA HENNINGER,
IM wife OF a prominent farmer
0 near Logansport. in suing
for divorce demands $4,000 pay for
work on the farm during twelve
years Of married life.
She claims she not only kept up
her household duties. but had to
work in the fields practically
every day.
Doubtless she earned wages. but
IL she collects. it will establish a
dangerous precedent. A farmer
won't dare marry to save cost Of a
hired man.
Multitudes OF wives have worked
themselves into the grave with
out getting a dime in real money.
The wife's status-according to
the old conception-was that OF
chattel. like horse or other do
nestle animal.
Perhaps that is the right idea,
but il has received a black eve In
recent years. AuNdilCtu NhiiANOAS

ings with just claims to remunera-
ton for labor.
OF course few wives are

salary of $4,000 a year. She would

Average farms afford $40O-a-month

Perhaps matrimony will never
be ideally commercialized. How
ever wives have ceased to be
chattels and husbands. with in
creasing frequency, who fail to
take wives into partnership have
to pay them by the Job.

NO MEAN POLITICS

Ia. John Zener s D0D-Laueu HuSn
TOINE of the most necessary parts of the
MI equipment of politician is what is
known as poker face The politician, to be
successful, must be good at the great game
If bluffng
John Zener, ex-police captain, Mayor
Shanks handy man-of-all-work and more or
less useful adjunct to the Lemcke campaign,
attempted to put up bluff in connection with
the movement for the city manager form CT
government and failed.
Zener decided when the city manager
movement was started that the best way to
block such beneficial change in city govern
ment was to circulate commission petitions
So the policemen and fremen were called to-
gether and given commission petitions and told
to go out and get signatures. They went.
Otherwise they would not have been right po-
Iitically and would have been subject to pun
shment
A short time later Zener, largely with the
able assistance of Bill Armtage's and Ralph
Lemcke's favorite newspaper, broadcast the
fact that some $1,000 signatures had been OBJ
tanned to the commission petition.
Meanwhile, Lew Shank was changing his
mind on the average of twice day as to where
he stood on the form of government for Indian
apolis.
But Zener's petition was not filed. 1t was
carried around to a safe deposit box and there
left under lock and key.
''Now, announced Zener, as he shook
down another city employe for a campaign
contribution, elf anyone dares file city man
ager petition shall file my commission petition
and thus muddy up the waters so that Mayor
Shank's favorite candidate or someone else
can be elected mayor.
But Zener didn't have good poker face.
He couldn't conceal the fact that he was hold
ing/only four-card flush, which, as any poker
player knows, is worse than nothing
The ex-police captain wasn't good at
bluffing. In fact, he finally has admitted the
fact that he doesn' have bona-fde commits
sion petition. Instead of 81 900 names, he adj
mits he has 10000 or less. At least 10000
names are necessary
So the commission petition ceases to be
factor in the Indianapolis political situation
for the reason that there isn't any commission
petition.
Indianapolis citizens interested in good
government have been working to call Zener's
bluff and would have called it in short time
if he had not admitted he was blufing
Zener's admission puts Indianapolis just
one step further toward city manager govern
ment. The manager petition-which, unlike

What were the circumstances
connected with the drowning Of

In 1915, Lord Kitchener accepted
heavy responsibilities in connection
