Lesson in Floods

Floods in five States, with millions
Of property loss and thousands of
people made homeless, serve to re-
veal river improvements as less fool
ish and eXtravagant than some
people would have you believe.
For lack of such improvements
more has been lost in the past few
days than the Government has been
asked to spend during the entire
year.
There is kind of national defense
that has little to do with guns and
battle fleets, but it is just as essential
to the life and welfare of the people.
If it is a duty of Government to
offer protection against human
enemies, why isn't a duty to offer
protection against natural enemies?
We would permit no nation to de-
stroy life and property the way the
Mississippi and other rivers have
without going to war about 1t.
If England, or Japan, or Mexico
had done the damage that has been
suffered by the people of Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and
Arkansas we would be mobilizing our
armies and calling for volunteers,
and we would spare no weapons I'M
til we had brought the thing to a
halt.
Why is it not just as great an
achievement to conquer a river as a
nation?

Naughty eyes on the stage helped
to make Anna Held one of its nifty
leaders.
Naughty eyes and blonde hair
help to make Miss Edith Clifford the
Anna Held OF today.
Some months before the death of
Miss Held talked with her in her
room at hotel in an Indiana city
while she was making a final tour.
She told me at that time that her
so-called naughty eyes" was really
her stage personality. Those eyes
made or rather helped her to sue
cess.
Edith Clifford does not have to ad-
vertise her eyes because she talks"
with them during all of her song
numbers.
Naughty those eyes can be and yet
they can become mellow and sympa-
thetic while she Is singing a ballad
about a little white house.
The late Miss Held could not make
her eyes behave. but Miss Clifford al
ways has them under control.
The other night 1 went back stage
to see Miss Clifford at Keith's. Nearly
all the naughtiness was taken out
of them because she was getting
ready to go to her hosel.
Must tell you that this summer l

his wife. FRITZ Ridgeway and Betty
Compson.' she told me. THE for
mer Circle conductor is now in

Miss Clifford told me that she is
repeating a couple of songs at
Keith's this week because she just
started to use them a week before
she was last here.
Songs. the kind 1 use are hard
to get" she told me. And it takes
lot of time to get ones ersonality
into the number"
1t is this continued working at
number which has made Miss Cliff
ford one of the real leaders on the
stage today.
She has naughty eyes and she
uses them in her nifty songs. But
Edith Clifford is a thinker. She
knows her public and above all she
knows that a quiet handling of a
song is better than all the jazz and
blues shouting in the world.
Miss Clifford remains at Keith's
all week.

oOtbaII and Money

1t is estimated that 5000. 900 per-
sons paid S2O.oO0OOO to see high
school and college football games
this year.
Whether you regard the sport as
essential, you are forced to admit
that it has become the best paying
feature of higher education I'm this
country
BY no other activity do American
students collect such a vast amount
of money for the schools they at
tend.
Who supposes that commercialism
can be kept out of such a gigantic
enterprise? The fact that players re-
ceive no stated salaries is of small
consequence compared to the ordi-
nary every day methods OF advertls-
ing and craftsmanship by which the
game is boosted.
The question of whether football
is healthy from a physical stand
point has long since been super
seeded by the question of whether it
is healthy from an economic stand.
point.
