Seventeen Vaudeville Acts
to Enliven Charity
Carnival.

How 10 crowd seventeen rollicking
acts Of vaudeville into two hours of
time is troubling promoters of the
Elks' Charity Midnight Frolic to be
held at the Empire Theater next
Tuesday night.
Swamped with offers from both pro-
feSsionals and amateurs to take part
in the frolic, those in charge Of the
event have eliminated all but the most
entertaining and fastest moving acts.
Arriving at a point where all acts
left were too good for any to be dis
carded, tentative program has been
announced.
BILL is EXTENSIVE.
The bill which. it is said, will make
up frolic worth Broadway prices,
includes the following acts:
Acts from the Majestic will be O
song and dance number by Mildred
Livingston and four members of her
comedy skit; the nut comedians,
Chain and Bronson; and black face
comedy sketch by Ned Haverly. Con-
tributions from tine Royal stage are an
act of comedy and songs by Mr.. and
Mrs. AL Pharr; songs and dances by
Bob Conn, who is considered one Of
the best soft shoe and buck and wing
dancers of the day soubrette songs by
Betty Corners, character songs by
Vic Mansfield, and a comedy skit by
Morris Perry and Eddie Haywood.
Local professionals who will take
part in the entertainment are lie.
Moyne Begley, jazz and Charleston
champion; Katherine Ford and LoI-
aine Tillinghast, Charleston winners
in recent contests; Mrs. Il. A. Tai
madge, soubrette singer; Jimmie Bas-
sett's orchestra; Jimmie's joys or
chcstra, and the Sun Dodgers Elks' or
chestra.
AMATEURS TO APPEAR.
Three acts planned by local anna
teurs are a comedy sketch by lido
Haarman, George G. Burke, Lloyd
Whitney and Newton Bassett, favor
ties of the Elks' lodge; musical and
song act by Miss Margaret billiard,
and Russian dance act by Laura and
Edward Keller.
The frolic this year, according to
Jack r. Burke, chairman in charge Of
arrangements, is being held in order
that the lodge can undertake larger
Christmas cheer program than ever
before.
No expenses will be attached to the
frolic and every cent taken in, he
said, will go towards placing a Christ
mas tree with presents in every or
phanage and other home for depend
ents in the city.
While the primary motive of the
frolic will be charity, he said, the
event will be well worth the price of
admission. Beginning at IL o'clock
next Tuesday night at the close of the
last picture show. the frolic will fur
nish two hours Of clean entertainment.

DETROIT. Mich, Dec. 19.-For the
remainder of the winter months all
attention in Detroit aviation circles
will be centered on the development
of aircraft motors. The airplane en-
CINE has Jagged far behind the struc-
tural design of modern aircraft. 1t
has been responsible for much Of the
danger and unreliability Of air travel.
The Liberty motor, of wartime vim
tage, has proved the stumbling block
in the road of rapid development
planned for the Ford Motor Com
pany's inter-plant air service. Where
fleet Of at least IS ships was planned
when the service began last April,
only ten are in service today. Their
records have been unbelievably good,
but imperfections in motors have him
dered the production of more planes
and has been mainly responsible for
such minor trouble and delay as has
thus far been encountered on the lines
between Detroit, Chicago and Cleve-
land.
Now comes announcement that Will
liam Il. Mayo, Ford's chief engineer,
and William Il. Stout, designer OF the
Ford Stout all metal monoplanes, have
put capital behind the project of War
rem s. Noble. q member OF the United
States navy's technical engineering
advisory staff. who has developed a
new air-cooled motor Of sturdy per-
Torrance, about 200 horsepower. The
Noble engine will soon be in produc--
ton, it is learned, and Will be used
in mines built by Ford next year.
The final removal Of the difficulties
surrounding the motor will sweep
away the last barrier to carrying OF
passengers in the Ford planes. it is
now generally understood. A passen-

TO get back to the subject OF arr

The Rickenbacker light air cooled
engine will be in production within q

son of Continental is hurrying plans
to announce manufacture Of a Euro
pean engine on which he controls the
patents, and which is said TO be highly
favored by Anthony Fokker, whose
future plans for locating in Detroit
are largely bound up with the activi-
ties of Judson and the Continental
company, it is understood.

Proposed Distribution Point
b to Save Money for
81 j. Truck Farmers.

!. A solution of many of the market
TROUBLES Of Texas truck farmers at an
annual saving to them of thousands Of
dollars, is now being worked out in
: Chicago, according to j. Austen Hun
ter. market news specialist in charge
sof the San Antonio bureau Of The
Texas Radio Market News Service.
= South Texas truck production and
! the development of raw lands of the
estate, Mr.. Hunter said. is making pos
. siblc the Chicago market center, a
81, 100000 project that promises 10
: develop into the greatest distribution
point Of its kind in the world.
The Chicago project. known rs the
South Water street market and CON
concentration yards, was inspected by
Mr.. Hunter last week while he was
attending q session of the National
Association Of Marketing Officials.
TEXAS BIG SHIPPER.
The proposition, Mr.. Hunter said,
promises to eliminate the one draw.
back that has stood in the way OF
Texas truck production, that of high
marketing costs.
The growth of Texas truck produc-
ton, which is one of the primary
causes behind the project, Mr.. Hunter
said. is illustrated by figures show
ing receipts at Chicago of car loads
of Texas vegetables and fruits.
Increase in car load receipts of
various truck products in 1924 over
1923 is as follows:
Wax and green beans, 1923, no .ar
load receipts, 1924, 8 cars beets. 1923,
"a cars, 1924, 131; carrots, 1923, Al

ears, 1924, 26s.
MUCH LOSS OF TINE.
Congestion in the old market dis.
trict on State street in Chicago, and
widely scattered terminals, Mr.. Hun.
ter said, resulted in an untold loss Of
time in distributing Texas truck
through the Chicago clearing center.
In addition, he SAID, flVe or SIX hanu-
1ings were necessary at tremendous
cost before the products reached the
consumer.
This has been eliminated. he said,
IN the new concentrated market on
South Water street, and in the con-
'eentrated railroad yards being especi-
ally constructed for handling truck
and other produce.
Through the new water way to the
Atlantic across the lakes and down
the st. Lawrence river and with the
completion Of the proposed intercoast-
al and river waterway between Corpus
Christi and Chicago, Mr.. Hunter said,
the Chicago market center can be built
mp until it is the largest in the
world.
This. he said, will mean undreamed
Of prosperity for Texas growers who
will be called on to supply much of the
demand.

LOWER RENT
Possible in New York Un-
der New State Law

New York.-Apartments can be
built in this city to rent for SO
room and pay fair return on the
investment. This has been demon
strated by the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company in it's report on a
81 600, 900 housing experiment.
The company operated under a
state law passed three years ago
which permits life insurance COM
panies to purchase land and build
apartment houses to limited ex-
tent, provided rents to be charged
did not exceed So per month per room.
In its report on this venture the
company said it is usual with real
estate men, builders and investors to
allow something for vacancies and
loss of rent.
"The company made no such allow
ance, believing that the low rentals
and the desirability of the houses
would practically eliminate this item,"
the report said. "The results have
proved that the company was right
in this assumption, for there has been
lost only $406.54 from this cause.
"The company intends at the end
of each year to figure 6 per cent on
the then book values of the proper
ties, this amount to be used for in
come. Any amount that is earned
above 6 per cent is to be credited to
the cost of the properties, thereby
making a considerable reduction each
year. This will enable it to meet the
full taxes beginning in 1882 and still
maintain about the same ratio of re-
duction of COST"

STATE PRISONERS
WIN PAY INCREASE

Albany, N. Y.-Inmates of state
prisons in this state are on a new
working basis. Under a new law the
inmates are entitled to 70 per cent of
the net profits of the industries.
The wage scales have been fixed so
the gross earnings will range from 35
to 55 cents per day, depending on the
class Of work. The initial schedule
provides only for workers in the shops
and power house and repair men.
Out of their earnings the workers will
be required to pay for their mainte-
nance. Because Of their experimental
nature, the rates were purposely set
at low figure, it is said.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes reckessly. /.

Consider the Bryan and marvel at
the victory that can be won by a
down-and-outer. No man in America
has been more demolished than Mr..
Bryan, or SO frequently. He has been
beaten, but never gagged.
AS the Salvation Army says, "A
man may be down, but he's never
out" so it is with William Jennings
Bryan. He may be beaten, but he's
never off the front page for any great
length of time.
There's nothing quite like it in con-
temporary history.
Nowadays folks don't buy news
papers to find out what may be doing
in politics, or to see how hot it was
yesterday, or 10 learn the ball score.
Folks buy newspapers today to see
what Bryan is doing and what he
plans to do tomorrow and to whom he
is going to do it.
Surely Mr.. Bryan is the most prom,
| inent real estate salesman in America.
Whose picture was it that was pub
lished on the first page of the New
York Times when the Scopes trial
began? Was it the picture of Clar-
ence Darrow, or of the trial judge,
or the defendant?
No, senors y senoras, it was the
picture of the Hon. William Jennings
Bryan, if you please, of counsel for
the prosecution!
| That's a fair sample of Bryan's
news value as the newspapers see it.
An dthe newspapers see it that way
because they thin ktheir readers agree
wit hthem about it.
Now, Mr.. Bryan began great
many years ago to build up reputa-
tion as a battler for the people. He
made a political speech, coined a
striking phrase and leaped into prom
inence as "the silver-tonged orator OF
the Platte"
i Much of the time since then Mr.
Bryan has spent his time keeping his
reputation bright and shining, with
out doing anything much to justify
the reputation.
! During the democratic convention
in New York, Mr.. Bryan sent word to
Samuel Gompers that the party plat
form would be highly pleasing to Mr.
Gompers. Then he helped bring forth
one that was highly displeasing. Now
Mr.. Bryan is engaged in great bat.
tie to prove to the world that there is
no evolution, never has been any anG
never will be any, and that the worlc

and set up ready for housekeeping.
i Mr.. Bryan is seeking to prove thai
|science and evolution can not gel
along together and therefore science
must get out. All through a great
many years Mr.. Bryan has found il
impossible to understand that truth
like murder, win out; and that those
things and institutions that rest OF
sham ultimately will be uncovered ane
cast aside.
| Science is truth-proven truth anc
nothing else. If it isn't proven truth
