Home comfort and artistic rela-

are not only necessary but can be

Harmony is the keynote in light

colonial interiors must of necessity
have colonial lighting fixtures OF

be in keeping with the type of house.

Goldstein's have been manufacture

Many Indianapolis homes have been
fitted with made-to-order fixtures by
Goldstein's.

Thirty-eight ships of pre-steam-
boat days engaged in a terrific battle
on the high seas and a "land ad-
miraI' directing both attackers and
defenders by the ultra-modern me-
dunn of radio!
This is the paradoxical situation
presented to radio and movie fans in
the filming OF the coming movie
feature, "Old Ironsides."
It's the solution to one OF the most
lpuzzling problems directors have had
to face in the presentation OF so
vast an undertaking. 1t has saved
many hours of fruitless work, 1t has
avoided yelling and shouting Oh
directors, and it has saved every one
of the thirty-eight sailing vessels
except one, from being dashed on
the rocks.
This spectacle was witnessed re-
Gently off the isthmus of Santa
Catalina Island.
Big Area to Direct
~Old Ironsides" is a story of the
Yankee victory over the Tripolitan
pirates in 1904. Th.rty-eight sailing
yes sells, men-o'-war and privateers
were assembled for the big battle
scene in the small harbor of Santa
Catalina
On hillside Of the isthmus James
Cruze. veteran film director, was
admiral of both Yankees and pi-
rates. He directed both sides OF the
battle between the Tiipolitan fort,
corsairs and sloops and the Yankee
frigates and gunboats-a layout ex-
tending over an area Of six square
miles.
This couldn't have been done by
any other method than by radio,
what with the large area and the in
tervening sea making it so difficult
for direct contact.
Never Raised His Voice
For this purpose II. II. Harrod,
chief electrical engineer OF the
company filming the picture. built a
portable broadcasting station and
twenty-four receivers.
The xbxoadcaster he put on the
isthmus for Cruces use. The re-
ceivers he distributed among tug
boats and others with the feet, on
docks of the harbor and in the main
camp on the isthmus.
All Cruze had to do was speak
into his microphone and his in
structions were received and am
plified at the same time over the en-
tire battle areal
He got his responses by means OF
whistles from the tugs and semar
phores from the warships.
At the same time his men on
land were watching the battle close
ly with strong field glasses. By
these, boats drifting toward the rocks
or shoals were spotted and imme-
diately warned by radio to keep off.
Thus the American gunboat Vir-
gfnia, with hundreds of men on
board, was saved from calamity
with only twelve inches to. spare.
Only one ship was lost a small
corsair, dashed to pieces against
giant bolder. The sixteen men aboard
were saved.

about their discipline the Germans

Let us suppose, further, that Leipart

mains that, under the high patronage
of the Amsterdam international, the
All China Federation of Labour
Unions is going to get interest from
the British Workers together with
whom it is in the one International;
as is usually done IN all proper bank
ing operations. S s
lpUT If the matter Is to be regarded
- from such financial standpoint
what does the international exist for?
Maybe to do away with haphazard
methods in financial and banking OPP
erations and TO establish uniformity
in the matter of rates OF interest?
Such It seems are the functions OF an
international. Apparently that is the
ideal International in the opinion Of
the General Council, that is deserving
of proper respect because it does not
interfere in Britains internal affairs,
and if 1t does then only to extract the
same rate of interest from the pockets
of the British workers that is regard
ed as correct in good society"
d ELATIONS like that between the
~ International and its sections,
and the sections OF the same interna-
tional, are more like the relations
that exist between brokers and
members of the Stock Exchange;
though in this case they go one better
by quoting class solidarity, of all
things! Right to the last half percent
TT goes without saying we could
1 never rise to such heights of sol
idarity. That is why the General
Council representatives are so upset
at the behavior of the Soviet CCTU
and are protesting against our tactics.
The Council prefers solidarity a la
Amsterdam to solidarity as Moscow
sees it. Well, that is its lookout;
but>we do not doubt that the broad
working masses of Britain will put the
true value on the words of the Am
sterdam and Berlin money-changers
and will understand from this practi-
cal example the difference between
Moscow and Amsterdam.

Class Solidarity a la Amsterdam

/ A INFLOW, what Is the particular
"A brand of class solidarity the Gen
eral Council regards so favorably I?
Glass solidarity to the Amsterdamers
is to have resolution OF sympathy a.
dopted when strike is declared, then
resolution sat on, and a beginning
made with helping the strikers only
after they are at the last gasp, for
unless they have been starved into
it they will never realize all the
charms Of Amsterdam class solidarity.
When once the strikers have come
to the limit of their resources, have
lost everything they have, and their
wives and children are starving, an
appearance must be. made on the
scene, another resolution passed, more
support promised and the question
again deferred for another month.
| OHOULD the strikers prove stubborn
~ and 1t is not known for what reas-
ons they still keep on striking, yet an
other resolution must be taken, one
fourth of farthing for every striker

to all the money in, the funds of the

verse to providing those in need with
loan If required
But to give that loan a real business
like look, to make 1t look like solid
deal, instead of smelling like Mus
covite intermeddling in others affairs,
( a certain percentage has to be paid on
the money offered. OF course, a
whacking good percentage must be
tried for, seeing that loans are not
granted just for the fun of the thing,
at least not at the rate of interest that
it could have been got at from a bour-
geois bank.
THAT is exactly how the Amsterdam
l. International and the Miners In
ternatiOnal have been acting during
the whole of the British miners strike.
When the TUG General Council-the
same that refused to accept the RED"
gold-applied to the Amsterdam In
ternational for financial assistance the
latter agreed to arrange a-loan at Az
percent, although 1t hadn't lifted a
finger throughout the strike to help

(Seeretary Of the Red International Of
Labor Unlons.)
WE folks In Soviet Russia have
w what is plainly distorted con-
cepton of class solidarity-At any
rate what the British Trade Union
Congress General Council delegation
said at the last meeting in Berlin of
the Anglo-Russian Committee amount
ed to that. The Soviet Central Coun-
Gil of Trade Unions delegations pro-
posal for organizing joint assistance
for the miners out on strike was pick
ed to shreds on the pretext that it was
tantamount to interfering in Britain's
domestic matters. SO the effort to
extend aid in time to the strike is put
down as mere interference.
Well, what about refusing to help?
Isn't that interfering in the struggle,
only the wrong way about? If the
help we are extending is strengthen
ing the forces and militancy of the
miners, then a refusal to give that
help is surely Strengthening the enc
mics of the working class. Taking
that for granted, then both giving
help and refusing help means inter-
fering in Britain's domestic affairs,
with the difference that in one case
the interference is in the interests of
our class, and in the other in the in
terests of the foe of our class.
CEEING, however, we have rather
- twisted notions on what class sol
idarity is and are poking our noses
into other peoples business, accord
ing to the competent views of both
the Right and so-called Left Leaders
on the General Council, there is moth
ing else for it but to follow the exam
pie of those whose actions don't draw
any objections of that sort from the
Council
To Judge by the fact that up to now
the General Council and its leading
lights have kept silence and rather
favorably than otherwise regarded the
tactics of the Amsterdam and Miners
Tnternationals during the strike, the
leaders of the Trade Union Congress
are seemingly in agreement with the
policy of their International
That means we must ascertain ex-
actly what that policy" is if we are
to understand "class solidarity a la
Amsterdam"

Noted viennese Biologist, Unsunq at
Home, Kills Self.
VIENNA, - The body of DR.. Paul
Kammerer, noted Viennese biologist,
who in recent years had toured Amer
lea twice, was found today on Schnee-
berg mount near Vienna, where he
had committed suicide with a re-
volver. The cause is believed to have
been depression due to the fact that,
unhonored in his beloved home city,
Vienna, he was forced to gain a liveli-
hood elsewhere.
l heard DR.. ,Kammerer lecture at
Sinai Temple about two years ago,
and considered him most remark
able expert scientist. It was a red
letter day in my life. He promulgated
a theory of heredity which directly
opposed the August WeiSmann school
of thought, and hence was very un-
welcome to orthodox science. The late
Luther Burbank agreed with him
thoroughly, having discovered the
truth Of this viewpoint in his work as
a wizard of plant life. Also Caspar
Redheld, of Chicago, has worked out
the proposition from another angle.
Scientists sneered and were intolerant
of his views for years, and thus liter
ally bounded him to death.
Nevertheless many recognized him
as one of the greatest, II not the great
est biologist of present day Europe.
His contention and the theory he
proved was that acquired character
istics are inherited" This the old
school of biologists decidedly deny
Christian bigots hurried the death OF
Burbank, the medical trust prosecuted
DR.. Albert Abrams, of electronic dag
nosis fame, and helped greatly to
