Bone Surgeons in Demand

The aftermath of the terrible
storm in Florida is large number
of major fracture cases which at the
time could receive but first aid and
pain alleviating attentions. There were
really small number of these in view

ever they aggregate 375 cases, includ-
ing two broken necks, ten broken
backs and seven skull fractures.
! Though temporary paralysis followed
in some cases all are expected to re-
cover and some of them normally.
Experts in bone surgery are now
holding clinics for X-ray and consult

pitfalls of the various cities where the
Red Gross is in charge. Only praise
of the highest kind is given the local
surgeons as this corrective work mus.

THE UBIQUITOUS BENITO

The Y. M C. A. boys voted that Henry Ford
and Benito Mussolini are the two greatest men ex-
tant.
That apparently appealed to Henry, for there's
no record of a move on his part to eclipse Benito.
But the Roman emperor is not of a mind to
share a throne with any one.
Already acknowledging himself the worlds
greatest statesman, general, admiral, editor, etc,
Mussolini is now going to be the worlds greatest
business man.
He has organized a special ministry Of corpora.
tons in his cabinet, and has taken the job himself.
Whether, after having settled Italy's business prob
lens. he will offer his services to the rest of the
world, he hasn't announced. He probably will.
In starting out on his new job Mussolini has one
thing to recommend him.
He is the head of the only country in the world
that agreed to pay its, war debt to another country.
then on the strength of that promise turned around
and borrowed 100000, 900 and made the first pay
ment Of $4,000, 900 on the war debt out Of The pro-
ceeds of the loan. That's what italy did with the
United States.
If Mussolini can carry on at that rate Ford
should withdraw, and tell the Y. M. c. A. to cast its
vote unanimously for the Big Bambino.

Artistic Murder2

Strange rumors are coming out
o. Russia. particularly since the ex.
pulsion of zinoviev and the death
of Dershlnsky. One hears of plots
and counterplots and there are
weird tales of secret poisoning, such
as would do credit to the Borgias.
Most of 1t is exaggeration, If not
sheer fancy. but there could hardly
be so much smoke without some
flyeI
~ There is no doubt that Dzershin-
sky delivered a terrific speech
against the red tape, and bureau
cracy, which he said were corrupting
Russia just before his death, be-
cause an e~xpurgated transcript of
it has been published in the Moscow
papers.
Standing for three hours before
the central executive committee of
the Communist party, he made such
a scathing attack on graft and in
efficiency as shook that body 10 its
very foundations.
He picked out the offending lead
ers and addressed them by name,
snubbing Leon Trotsky at one point,
telling a commissioner hat he would
be useless no matter how long he re-
manned in office. Scarcely had he
wiped the Precipitation from his
brow after this great effort when
heart failure gripped him as n re-
port has it. while he was artistically
murdered, according to another.

Democrats are trying to make votes in Novem-
Der by asserting President Coolidge's economy pro-
gram is mythical Appropriations for the fiscal year
which ended June 30 were sos. 900, 900 more than
for the year before, says the Democratic national
committee.
The session of Congress just adjourned provided
for expenditure of nearly half a billion more than
the preceding Congress, the committee adds.
Half a billion is a real increase. But is 1t real?
No, say the Republicans. The Democrats fail
to mention a tax reduction Of $500, 100000, the appli-
cation of $251,OOO, 600 of surplus revenues toward re.
tirement of the public debt, the retirement of some
$4OO,OOO,O0 in short term certificates without the is.
suance of new ones and a few other little things
like that.
The argument reminds one OF the financial gym.
nastics of Secretary Mellon, who told Congress the
League of Nations was paying it's war debt in full
and later turned around and said settlement of Italy's

their post'armistice obligations.

the truth. But where it is the voters will never
learn from the politicians.
Verify figures lie and politicians figure.

o.
wouldn't 1t do your heart good to see a big head
line about some sane and simple and loving woman
who had done her duty. by her husband and children
ana had kept her heart and her kitchen clean?
Instead we are obliged to read of Miss Dale, who
has been crowned Ankle and Leg Queen. whatever
that is. Or we scan the tale of the latest marriage of
some famous divorce, or look at pictures Of some
dancing girls toes, or are presented with the views of
a man who, deserted his wife and then writes Of mod.
ern marriage.
This is one of the reasons why American women
are running wild. You have to do 1t to get any notice
The woman who does her simple duty and rocks the
cradle may rule the world, but she never gets her pic
ture in the paper.
Those mothers who pioneered into this country
and broke the wilderness with their husbands, very
likely did not have ankles N inches around. They
needed stronger support than that to carry them
through their long journeys and to stand over their
washtubs and rock their wooden cradles.
Tt looks as If we paid too much attention to crime
and laziness. If you murder your husband you have
public eye and on the stage as If you had only STAYED
at home and sewed his buttons on.
Joyce Hawley makes herself conspicuous in Earl
Carroll's bathtub and knocks down a vaudeville con.
tract which enables her to buy a huge automobile
and break the speed laws. The 17year-old farm queen
of the Nation who has produced foodstuffs sits quietly
ewing under a tree, and feeds her pigs with probably
not $40 a month for SPENDING money.
The woman who marries one husband and STAYS
with him lives out her life in quietude; she who mar.
ries half a dozen gets her pictures in all the met
ropohtan dailes. And yet we all know that the first
woman's accomplishment is far harder and greater
than that os the second.
What's the matter with the American mind?

NANA u a
when / saw 1.-The
Swan" some weeks ago in Cincinnati,
1 urged in this department that Mr..
Walker bring this gigantic bit of de-
lightfuI mental food to Indianapolis.
He has done 1t with even a better
cast than the Ohio production
boosted. The reason being what we
have George Gaul. Mckay Morris
and Ann Davis in the three of the
five important leads. Cincinnati had
Morris and Miss Davis. In some re-
spects. It seems to me that the
magnetic touch OF George Somnes as
we'll as Walker has touched up some
Of the little scenic items in better
shape than in Cincinnati. 1 say
frankly that in The Swan" we have
all the majestic fun that a great
author may inject into a play written
in these days and we ali so have
the artistry Of a producer and a cast
which reflects credit upon all. Stage
history is being made this week at
Keith's while The Swan" is being
given such a magnificent p%resenta-
ton.
Molnar has constructed a play in
which nearly all Of the many lead.
ing characters stand out as prorni-
rent ones. The assembled cast
catches the fine spirit of
which Molnar has given both the
plot and the characters.
Here are the outstanding factors
in Walkers production of THE
Swan
l. The scenic grandeur of the sec
ond and third acts. The banquet
scene in the third act is as grand
and as elaborate as anything n
may hope to see on the stage today.
2: The magniicently reserved, but
natural, performance given by Ann
Davis as Alexandra, the Swan. Here
is quiet and yet beautiful acting of
a most difficult role.
3. The work of George Gaul as the
tutor, a slave who is freed for a few
minutes with royalty when he falls
in love with the Swan. who was
about to be given to a prince as a
future queen. Again we have the
Gaul voice of golden romantic beau
ty. longing, hope and defeat.
4. The perfect performance of Nc
Kay Morris as Prince Albert. who
is so precious TO his royal family
that his slumber is guarded and
who is awakened after a nap by the
gentle but musical coughing Of an
attendant of soldierly rank.
5. The perfect work of Margaret
Douglass as Princess Beatrice, the
mother of the Swan. who decided
that her daughter should be a queen.
The Princess staged a fine plot and
a great fainting stunt-it worked.
Her swan came mighty near to
shore, but swan away with a
prince. AS perfect Characterization
as one could dream of.

A Disappointed Husband

The Baron and Baroness Royce
Garrett made a suicide pact.
She leaped from the eighteenth
story window of a Miami Hotel. while
he bought a piece Of Irvine and went
to the woods for the purpose Of
hanging himself.
At the coroner's inquest he de-
clared he was disappointed, because
his wife did not wait to die with
him.

people can saiways find, a way of
blaming it on other people.
