tion week Sunday with an appeal from
their pulpitS to their congregations to

the front of street cars and many
other means of urging every house
holder and business man to look after
his premises for any condition which

and attics are looked upon by fire de-
partment officials as one of the most
potent causes of fire, and the commit
tee points out that this is a hazard
which every resident can help elm
mate.
The more than $4,000 public school
children, as we'll as the thousands in
private and parochial schools, will be
enlisted to aid in the campaign. Pam
phlets will be distributed to the
school children to be taken home to

SENATE ELECTION
ST|RS WISCONSIN
Voters Tomorrow to Decide
Between La Toilette and
Coolidge Supporter.
By the Associated Press

MILWAUKEE, Wis, September 2s
tion tomorrow will name a successor
to the late Senator Robert NJ. La. Fol-
lette. They will decide whether to
send to the Senate Robert NJ. La Fol-
lette, jr., to follow in the footsteps of
his father, or to elect Edward F. Dith-
mar, anti-La Toilette Republican, who
announced that he will support the
policies of President Coolidge. Three
other candidates also are in the race.
With the time for voting less than
"a hours away, the principal candi-
dates continued to outline their pol
icies. Young La Toilette, who won
the Republican nomination, addressed
a meeting in his home town of Madi-
son. Dithmar, Republican, running
as an Independent, was in the western
part Of the State to make several ad-
dresses.
The campaigns of three other can
didates-John NJ. Work. Socialist; w.
G. Bruce, Democrat, running as an in
dependent, and George Bauman, So
st-Labor-ended Saturday night.
La FoIlette's Special Plea.
In the election issues young Bob La
Toilette has specialized on the phrase,
II shall continue the work started by
Robert Marion La Toilette" He has
generally indorsed in full the platform
of the 1924 Cleveland La Toilette
Wheeler party convention. The So
cialists, however, who supported this
third party movement in 1924 are
openly accusing young La Toilette OF
repudiating that part Of the platform
relating to the congressional curbing
of power of the Supreme Court and
Government ownership of utilities.
The issue has been placed before the
voters by the Republican nominee as
between "man who will stand behind
the President and one who will fol-
low in the footsteps of Fighting Bob
La Toilette of Wisconsin,.
Dithmar has placed the same issue
before the voters as La Toilette. He
is stanchly behind President Coolidge
and his administration, and in favor
of the administrations principles OF
economy, pointing out that it is his
desire to apply the principles Of the
Coolidge administration to the State
administration of Wisconsin if elected.
Work has attacked La Toilette on
the grounds that he is not holding. to
his pledge to follow his fathers lead.
He maintains that the honest thing
for La Toilette to do is to denounce
his fathers plans and principles, in
view of the fact that he has foregone
the third party and is running as
Republican.
Bruce Uses the Mails.
Bruce, whose campaign has been
confined to mail appeal to the voters,
because "it seems so useless for
Democrat to run for any office in Wis
consin as an independent has held
before the voters his determination to
work for the development and COM
pletion of the Great Lakes waterway
project.
Bauman has not put any issues be-
fore the voters.
The contest waged in 1924 for and

them. He picked a chorus of 100
children and engaged r. L. Harlow
of Filenes, who has written and di-
rected many musical comedies. to
train them.
Today the chorus contains 100 chill
dren, all between the ages of and
II years, representing 10 nationalities
Every Saturday afternoon there is a
musical intefmission, during which
the children rise and sing many songs
under the direction of Mr.. Harlow
This musical period is always closed
with the singing of America the
Beautiful
A special rehearsal room adjoining
the theater was constructed, where
the children are permitted to go any
time during the week and rehearse
with Miss Frise, organist at the the
ater. Regular rehearsals are held
every Saturday morning by Mr.. Har-
low. Only children who possess mu-
sical talent and desire training with
all their hearts belong to the chorus,
There Is a waiting list Of over a hun
dred
Important as this musical citizen
ship training is, however, the story
would be incomplete without the back
ground against which it is set, the
unique basis on which the theater is
conducted.
Any crippled child, any .deformed
child, any deaf or dumb child GOWNS
the theater," to quote Mr.. Dimick.
They need never purchase a ticket,
and may always walk in past the gate
man; but under two conditions-every
boy must remove his hat before the
gateman will admit him, and no chill
dren are admitted under any circum-
stances before school is out in the
afternoon.
The radio program, in addition to
selections by the entire chorus, will
consist of solos, duets, trio and sextet
numbers

Tango Is Danced
By British Queen
At Servants Ball
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, September 2S.-If one
can believe the gossip that comes
down to Mayfair from Balmoral
Castle, the royal residence in Scot
land, where the King and Queen
have been spending the Summer,
Queen Mary recently danced the
FRENCH tango with one of her head
servants at the annual servants
ball, with which their majesties en-
tertain their Scottish servants and
tenants each September.
In former years the Queen has
confined her dancing to the digni-
fed waltzes. 1t was only recently
that for the first time she conde-
scended to take up the fox trot,
and now comes the story that she
can do the tango, and, in fact, has
done it.
Tickets to the servants ball at
Balmoraf Castle are greatly sought
after, even by the aristocrats who
go to Scotland every Autumn, but
few of them are ever allowed to
join in the festivities in which roy
atty rubs shoulders with "gillies,''
chambermaids, Wallets and milkmen.

LITHUANIAN DEF|ES.
LEAGUE COUNCIL
Former Premier AngriIy Pro-
tests Decision Relating to
Status of MemeI Territory.
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA, September 2S.-Shouting
defiance of the League of Nations
council, NJ. Galvanauskas, former
Lithuanian premier, and now Minis
ter to Great Britain, stamped angrily
out of the meeting room today dur
ing discussion Of the convention de-
filming the status of the Memel terri
tory drawn up by Norman H. Davis,
former American Undersecretary of
State.
The Lithuanian minister's action
was inspired by the councils decision
regarding complaints sent to the
league from minorities under Lithuan-
ian rule. The council instructed the
secretary general to transmit copies
of such complaints to all the council
members, leaving them free to call the
matter to the council attention if the
complaints appeared to warrant such
action.
Denounces Procedure.
1T is none of the secretary gen.
erals business to forward such infor-
nation at the leagues expense, -
shouted M. Galvanauskas. you have
all got foreign ministers and other
diplomatic agents to inform you.
When protests reach you why don't
you take them up with us first and
give us chance to investigator"
NJ. Boncour of France, presiding,
tried to calm the agitated Lithuanian.
Lord Cecil offered to draft a SUBJ
text so worded as not to hurt
Lithuania susceptibilities, and M. Hy-
man of Belgium proffered his services
in like capacity, but, not waiting the
result of~their collaboration, M. Gal
floor and made his stormy exit.
The Memel territory, with a popu-
lation of 100000, was detached from
Germany by the Versailles treaty and
placed under the control of the
ed over to Lithuania in February,
1928, subject to certain conditions
intended to regulate the use of the
port by both Lithuania and Poland.
Issue Settled i'm 1924.
Difficulties between Poland and
Lithuania over the administration of
the territory were settled in March,
1924, when the league council ratified
convention prepared by a neutral
committee headed by Norman H.
Davis.
At that time M. Galvanauskas de-
clared before the council that
Lithuania's acceptance of the terms
involved a great sacrifice, but that
she accepted them gladly because she
wanted to support the league, which
he termed IAN organism which is
now inseparable from the mainte-
nance of peace

Glacial Signs in South.
From the Detroit News.


Glacial boulders and pebbles found
in the blue grass region of northern
Kentucky recently show that the
great ice sheets once extended to that
region and that much more of the
Ohio Valley was glaciated than scien-
lists heretofore have believed, accord
ing to w. r. Jillson, State geologist
of Kentucky.
Jillson tells of the discovery of
erratic igneous and metamorphic
pebbles Of early glacial origin jim
northeastern Kentucky. These peb-
bles were found at elevations of from
720 feet on the Big Sandy River to
$50 feet on the North Fork of Licking
River. This, he holds, supports the
hypothesis Of Pleistocene glacial
ponding in a part of Kentucky which
had been regarded as south of the
southernmost advance of the glaciers.
The pebbles weighed from a few
ounces to three pounds and We're of
granite. gneiss and quartzite, none of
them having the slightest resemblance
to Indian artifacts or any indication
Of artificial ware or use, but all being
round, smooth, semi-polished, true
glacial type, Jillson says.

London Prohibits
Banjo in Open Air
And Taxi Whistle
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 2S.-Lon-
don is the least noisy of the
worlds great cities, and seemingly
it intends to remain so. A hall
porter was fined 10 shillings re-
Gently for whjstling for a taxi.
Only a few days before an ardent
swain, moved to music by one of
those clear moonlit nights that so
seldom come to London, was
hauled into the captivity Of the
police for twanging his banjo in
the open air. Neighbors had
complained that the sounds vio-
lated the accustomed quietude of
their evening.
The law prohibiting citizens to
whistle for taXicabs was enacted
during the war as part of the de-
fense of the realm act, known as
Dora" Other similar means
taken to help win the war included
making it illegal to sell cigarets
or cigars after s pm, or choco-
lates after 9. These measures are
still enforced and nobody seems
greatly to mind. Occasionally,
however, there arise complaints
that the Briton has lost his
boasted liberty
Though he cannot whistle for a
taxi he is still permitted to in
dulge in what the continent con-
siders one of the most extensive
customs of the Englishman-he
can still whistle in his bath.

BOSTON, September %. Darn

c. w. Dimick. president of the Lam
caster Theater, his hands behind his

his countenance, paced the aisles of
the playhouse costing detracted
glances toward the balcony
But the bubbub persisted, Hey,
Skinny" came raucous shout from
one corner. "Aw, sit down and let
the rest of us see somethin'," came a
high pitched reply from another. And
squabbles by the ensemble.
1t was the kids afternoon at the
motion picture theater and President
Dimick's afternoon of headaches.
Darn those kids, I'll have to find
something to keep them quiet"
That was five years ago. And Pres
ident Dimick did find a way to
keep them quiet. AS a direct result, a
sextet and a chorus of SO children
will make their initial bow to the ra-
dio audience in an unusual program
which will attract young and adult
to Westinghouse station WBZ Thurs
day evening. October 8.
The children's chorus, known as
the Lancaster Theater Chorus, began
when Mr.. Dimick had slides of popu-
lar songs flashed upon the screen and
requested all the children in the
house to rise and sing aloud, because
he had noticed that they became
noisy after they had been seated
about an hour. The idea was highly
successful. After singing for about 10
minutes, the children were satisfied
to remain quiet-their restlessness
had vanished. Mr.. Dimick continued
the plan for several Saturday after
moons, and noticing that the voices
of many of the children were excep-
tionalIy good, he decided to develop
