EUROPE AND
INDIANA

Indiana, with an export trade
of $64,772,6OS, ranked eighteenth
among the States in the value of
products shipped to foreign mar
kets in 1925, reports the veracious
Department of Commerce. The
previous year the Hoosier State
stood twenty-first.
Automobiles, meats and packing
house products. agricultural i'm
plements and steel products were
the principal items sent from Indi-
ana to foreign markets.
The export business is a real
factor in the prosperity of Hoos-
iers. And with our neighboring
States. The total shipped abroad
from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Michigan last year reached the
stately sum of $3.50, 100000.
We Middle Westerners assume
that we are far from tidewater,
world ports, the hurly-burly Of
world markets and world politics.
What goes on in Euro)e doesn't
greatly excite US. MIssolini may
strut his Caesar stuff. The franc
may sink to nothing. The British
Isles may be tied up with a
strike. Revolution may stalk. We
are only mildly interested.
But our fancied isolation IS an
optical Illusion. Europe is as close
to us, though we are in the Mid
die West, as our pocketbooks.
Our corn-fed statesmen who are
opposed to having anything to do
with Europe, who argue that
America should stay at home and
mind her own business, are talk
ing without thinking. An impor-
tant share of our business is with
Europe. There are our best Gus.
toners.

passes them Curtis evidently had his orders
from somewhere Otherwise it is hard to imagine
him marring his record floor leader by leading
the Republican regulars astray
On the other side of the chamber the nominal
leader is Senator Robinson of Arkansas. He has
been in the Senate long time and he knows the
rules Yet he sat and meekly mumbed his assent
to their violation in this What dictated Robin
sons course in this instance heaven only knows,
but it is in line with his ,inmistakable capacity for
getting on the wrong side of issues in which the
peoples interests involved "a curious attribute
in one who has hope Of drawing a presidential nomi-
nation out Of the next Democratic national
tion.)
Anyhow, the thing was done The Senators hav-
ing hand in 1t may see this new precedent turned
against themselves in due course. But the fact now
is that the Senate as a whole has the power COM
bines offer for Muscle Shoals in its hands to handle.
No committee will sif its essentials out for inspec-
ton. The Senators must do that for themselves.
It will be interesting to watch them attempt it.

WHAT rs SUCCESSFUL
MARRIAGE?

A university professor explains at length that a

riage. The list of things which work prevent bliss

How glibly talk about happy marriage. Is there
actually such thing? What is happiness?
We should ask ourselves questions like this before
we set about trying to wrest gifts from the gods.
Happiness is such relative The prolonged rap
ture, which thus name cannot long be endured
by men and women We suffer misery'-nany of
us, indeed, derive certain delight soul thrill from
being sad-but few humans constructed as to
stand continued happiness
Let us say, them that what hope for in mar
riage is not happiness much ,contentment and
congenial companionshp. Our bissful moments, no
matter who we are, very But it is possible
for us to obtain from matrimony something sweet
pleasant and comfortable. Dare hope for much
more in any relationship in this world?
We talk too much about happy marriage and not
enough about helpful marriage, good marriage.
1t is the nature of us all be seeking happi-
ness-this is our perpetual mortal quest But after
all, 1t can be found only within hearts We
may marry true love still find naught but
utter misery
Marriage cannot be perfect. At least not

be fine and beautiful relationship more splendid
than any other.
1t will never be this, however, so long as each Of
us goes seeking only his her individual qualification

Will marriage be as fine as it meant to be-
1t is what you bring to it, not what you get from

INDIANA is WELL
REPRESENTED AT PALACE

In Brown County Versus Broad
way at the Palace today and to-
morrow, the two different extremes
in musical tastes are brought to-
gether and are told to fight it out
in a musical manner. Those quaint
old tunes such as Turkey in the
Straw" Pop Goes the Weasel"
and others of their kind are played
by the Brown County Fiddlers
against the modern syncopated
melodies put out by the small or
chestra across the stage from them.
May be classed as having q rather
narrow appreciation Of music, but
personally am not Wild over either
type.
Each Of the groups numbered
three people, two vlollns and a
guitar in the Brown County group
and a drum, accordion and saxo-
phone in the Broadway orchestra
Charles Lines completes the make
up of the act and inJects his per-
sonality into the different numbers
done. besides singing one or two
songs himself. Without Lines the
act would seem rather dry.
Sailor Boy is the name Of an act
that has many tuneful songs in it
and several people who can sing
them. We are given a glimpse Of q
couple Of sailor lads, at the opening
Of the act, who are about to receive
their discharge from the Navy. One
Of them is worrying about his sweet
heart In the south, so the two of
them decide TO go south and see
what they can do about 1t.
We are then taken down into
Dixie and with the aid OF two women
and the two boys are given many
good songs and q pleasing little love
story.
Cook and ROsevere are r. man and
woman with a clever and amusing
act I'm which there are some good
songs and fun. The man is looking
for a girl, the ideal type, and his
novel way of finding her gives the
act a clever little twist. This pair
have good voices when singing to-
gether and should do more songs in
this manner.
Stuart and Lash are a couple Of
men whose line runs to some, at
times, really humorous slapsticl1
comedy. They have some songs and
good ending feature for their act.
The Wilson Audrey Trio open the
bill with some athletic feats and a
burlesque wrestling match that IS
funny.
Bill includes a photopIay, 1.-THE
Plastic Age" with Clara Bow and
a news reel.

ago, more than fourteen Of his play
ers have become stars on Broadway.
Clinging TO his same high standard
and with an artistry which seems
even brighter and more sure than
ever, Walker gave to Indianapolis
last night u comedy production
which one would expect to see In
New York. The production was one
of beauty, and as usual the lights
were perfectly handled. a Stuart
Walker production means just that
"a perfect production.
In considering the players France
Bendtsen really walks away with
the show. lie has a fiat" part and
he has sufficient artistry and the
needed touch to make the part o
great comedy Characterization. The
value of his work rests in the fact
that he makes the part Of the I'm
possible and silly dreamer, Cousin
Henry, actually seem like a living
character.
Mona Kingsley is endowed with
great beauty and n sure comedy
touch. She handles her lighter
scenes with as much ease as she
does her emotional ones. I believe
we have IN Miss Kingsley one Of
those promising leaders OF the stage
tomorrow.
George Meeker works along the
matinee idol lines. He has that ap-
pearauce and yet he rings true IN
his scenes. He works with ease and
sincere understanding OF complete
light comedy characterization.
Judith Lowry has a mother role
in "White Collars" and q mother
role IS to this splendid personality
of the stage what water Is to a
duck. This artist last night made
us cry and laugh at viii. No wonder
she IS tremendous favorite hero.
Mr.. Bowker has a father role and
as such he Is always at home.
Regina Stanfel In the last act did
piece OF emotional work which
carried the entire act. The others
were we'll cast.
AS far as the story Of white Col
lars" is concerned, Will say that It
is a comedy handling Of the aver
age American home attitude toward
wealth until It comes into the family.
The show is built along comedy lines
but there is lot OF thought IN many
of tho situations. It has been clev-
erly written, although the ending is
one Of those completely happy
things.
Mr.. Walker was given a splendid
ovation when he came on the stage
after the second act. He told Of his
longing to return TO Indianapolis
and promised us George Gaul. Eliza
beth Patterson. Peggy Wood and
the others in tho near future,
