PARENTS GIVE BLOOD
TO SAVE 10 BABIES

BALTIMORE, Sept 21.-Twelve
mothers and fathers and one MEM
Der Of the Johns Hopkins Hospital
staff have given their blood in three
days in an effort TO save the lives
of thirteen babies.
Eleven of the babies were less
than year old and the others were
under two years. Twelve rallied,
but one was so weak that even
TRANSMISSION failed.
There has never been time
when il has been necessary to make
so many blood transfusions. in the
children's department within so
short a period" said Doctor Win
ford II. Smith, the director of the
hospital.
Most Of the cases have been
those of children brought down

'sOliyer Twist" Mr.. Mckinney
plays every character in the play,
slipping with marvellous dexterity
from one character to another.
His change of character is no less
remarkable than his change of
costume, and all five roles are
played in praiseworthy manner.
A most enjoyable feature of the
bill is the burlesqune on McGiv-
ney's sketch. This farce was
played by actors on the regular
bill. who united to present the
most hilarious bit of the evening.
Nanny Besser and Dorothy Bal
four made a big hit with "Oh,
Henry" a foolish little skit. that
won through chiefly because of
its utter nonsense. Christy and
Nelson, who slide, slither and
tumble about, and Theodore and
Swanson, bar performers, provide
the acrobatics> of the evening.
Both acts are up to standard.
Sampson and Douglas appear with
a skit that hasn't a lot to recon-
mend it. It could be speeded up
in lots of spots.
j. G. Mack and Company offer
Mother Goose" a snappy little
musical revue which has all the
earmarks of hit. The costumes
were nifty, the dancing and sing
ing up to par, and the whole
presentation well rounded. Mr..
Mack does a nice bit of work as
Mother Goose. The silhouette ef
feet at the end of the piece adds
a delightful touch to the act.
The film is "In the Name of
Love-" well-directed picture
that brings to the screen the
lovely Greta Nissen in Nthe role of
a French peasant girl whose head
is turned by the acquisition of
sudden wealth in such a manner
that she snubs her former lover
and becomes an Al snob. 1t all
ends happily, of course. Ricardo
Cortez, Wallace Berry and Raw
mond Hatton were adequate in
the roles assigned to them.
The Earle News. overture, ETC.,
complete the evenings operations.

MAN DELCARES FLAATHEAD
 INDIANS MAY LOSE LANDS

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27 (P)- A curious tangle whic happarently was unraveled when Congress passed an act declaring Harry Leon Beau chaine to be Flathead Indian and therefore entitled to the emoluments of member of that Montana tribe, has developed into a new snarl with the decision of the Interior DeDpart- ment that Beauchaine is not Flat head
 Obtaining the right to inclusion in the final Flathead rolls, Beauchaine won a share of the tribal income and tract of land. Later, however, the department said it learned that he not only was son of a white man, but only was a son of white man, but that he already was enrolled as a member of the Occur d'Alene Indian tribe of Idaho.
 Interior department counsel now recommends that Beauchaines name be stricken from the Flathead rolls, and that Congress be asked to deny him share of the Flathead funds as we'll as to cancel the land patents granted to him.

MOVIE QUEENS FAIL GET ROLES
 THEY DESIRE

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 2S (P)- One of the greatest problems with which motion picture directors have to contend is casting in suitable parts the feminine stars of filmdom. Many of the actresses have beauty and per sonality adaptable to many roles, while others film we'll only in certain parts. The directors problem is made the more difficult because of the desire of the majority of the act resses to enact roles contrary in the directors opinion, to their personali- ties. Sometimes it becomes necessary to use compulsion to select the play CTS needed.
 A director noted these requests for parts contrary to those he had select ed. One actress wanted to play the part of a girl in tattered garments, the heroine of romantic poverty Her assignment necessitated fourteen or more changes of elaborate apparel.
 A second who desired the role of vampire was cast in the part of an amiable wife, while one who had as- pired to be sweet housewife charac- ter was forced to act the part of fascinating and beautifully gowned heroine.
 One who had visions of making the masculine heart flutter became an unsophisticated flapper, while a star whose aim was the farm girls role. with all the simple calico features, received a vampire assignment.
 Perhaps the greatest disappoint- ment of all was suffered by a young actress who desired to be screened as dashing heroine of thrill epic. h. stead she took care of baby and darn ed her husbands socks.

BANKS RECEIVER ACCUSES HART
 OF GRAPHING

TACOMA, Wn., May 28 (P)-F. B. Haskell, jr., Tacoma banker and re ceiver for the Scandinavian American Bank, filed in the Superior court to- day a two hundred page history of the receivership which began January 15, 1921.
 The document contained one affi- davit by Haskell and one by Guy E. Kelly, of Tacoma, former Republican National Committeeman, and former attorney for the Bank
 Kelly in his affidavit said" Governor Hart told him in Kelly's office at Ia coma: You boys have got to come through" Hart said The was an old man and was going out of office and would not have any income. Our fees would be large and more than was needed for ourselves, and We would have to divide with him. He directed me to see MT. Haskell, the receiver, about the matter"
 Haskell in his affidavit related conversation with the former govern or in his office at Olympia, when Has kell, Hart and Kelly were present, and reiterated the charges of Kelly. The affidavit declared that Hart stated. T don't expect any part of your fees, but expect to make the fees large enough so you boys can give me sum that will give me something to live on after I retire"
 Kelly and Haskell in December asked for s115,O0O fees, but State su- perrisor of Banking disallowed their claim, and Judge Card sustained the supervisor, who said the fees were out of all proportion to any services which could be rendered.

 Neglecting Alaska, the lowest rate of insanity in the U. s. is found in Arkansas. Unjust critics may say there is nothing there to go crazy over but they can't beat her record which is S3.1. Her closest contend. CT for the honors is Alabama with a rate of 95.3
 The United States, taken as
 whole has an insane population
 of 232,68o, and rate of 22o.1
 per 100000.
 The estimated population of Alas. ka, native and white, is about 60 OOO. Suppose Alaska did have an insane rate as great or greater than the rest of the country. That means that six-tenths or 763.S persons would have to go insane yearly. In round numbers, 460 patients would have to visit Morningside. To accomplish this one patient would have to arrive there every weekday and three ev- cry Sunday, and every passenger boat touching Alaska would have to transport at least one patient out side every trip throughout the year. And last but not least, two more in- stitutions equal in size to the pres ent Morningside would have to be constructed to take care of these pa- tients.
