LONGINGS

Henry Ford, one of the worlds richest men, finds
his greatest Joy in simple little old inn, gray with
age messy with time, in the hills of Massachusetts
Few pictures of the maker of pigmy have
been taken in late months that did not find him in
the inn Sitting in inge nook surrounded by
warming pans, blowers and all the insignia OF ire
sides past walking over silent paths about the inn,
or eating simple fare from checkclothed table.
Henry Fords return to the life simple is no
strange thing Listen to the talk of any group of
rich men unchng at their club on guinea breast and
mushrooms, smoking dollar cigars
"Tve got nv eye on a simple little place in the
country" says one.
I'm trying to buy back the old farm, swimming
hole n everything" says another.
What do we get out Of this sort of life any
way?" says the third. did you ever wade creek
when you were kid and pick apples in an orchard"'
Now that spring is here, Sunday after Sunday
steady pilgrimage of cars, rich, glisening, high
powered flying cars glide on to the common Mecca
the country.
Rich man, potentate, Mogul, fly on in an aura
of dust and gasoline to find that symbol of happiness
the country the simple life, world where apple
blossoms fall like coral from fresh-leaved trees
where sun and moon and stars shine cleaner, where
lust on into the land where things not what
they are.
The farmer laughs. What do these folk know
of his life-of its grueling toll. It's rsings, groggy
with sleep, into dark morning, its days round of
toll and more toll to wrest living from the soil,
little timo little thought for blossom and bird,
and moon.
Just the old story of the quest eternal for hap
piness in the lot do not Just the cid story
of regret for the thing that the realization when
the old swimming hole days over, that after all
they were the only days. Then they were days Of
longing for the big city and the world outside"
But now-the President of the United States and
his wife will summer in tiny, little simple cottage
hugging the slopes of the Adirondacks above Lake
Placid.
That is the summum bonum Of the greatest man
in the landthe straying from the white portals of
the most famous house in the land into a simple
little cot
And the jewellers of the mountain and lake look
with envy upon man who comes from great white
house in great city.

"The prohibition question will, never be settled
until its solution is based real expression of
the will Of the people,"
This is from a very significant interview with
Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania.
II you are interested in the prohibition ques-

you thinking.
Senator Reed is young man. He Is classed as
a dry. He is a regular Republican He is a stanch
supporter of President Coolidge and the Administra-

may not He tell which way the wind is blow

New Events on
the Stage

Bits and Hits OF Broadway at the
Palace today and tomorrow, IS an
act that in every way lives up to It's
name. It IS a series Of numbers
that are exact replcas OF the kind
one sees in the modern musical
show. Featured are song and dance
specialties.
A novel idea in costumes IS
worked out in having all the different
parts Of the costumes made so they
can be taken off separately. The
girls come out in some very good
| looking gowns and as the act gets
started the costumes start to fall
The outstanding numbers Of the
act were the speciality dancing OF
one Of the men. especially the tap
dancing, and some speciality mum.
bers by several Of the girls. The
five women do not dance very well
in ensemble. but are quite all right
in solo numbers of their own.
SAKE and Ia Pierre are a man
and woman of the type that after
you see them you will not remem-
Der quite so clearly what they did
but will have a positive recollec-
ton that you liked them. Such is the
pleasant effect of personalities. The
man Is at his best in several songs
and the woman is charming whether
she IS doing a song or a dance.
Joseph Regain and Alberta Curliss
conflne their efforts to song and are
pleasing entertainers. The man has
an excellent tenor and the woman
fine contralto voice. Featured are
songs liked by the ballad singers of
today and Of several years ago. The
voices Of these two blend in a per
feet manner when singing a mum
Der together.
Gordon and Day are a man and
woman who contribute most Of the
fun to the bill. The man assumes
an old slapstick character and for
many minutes gets much humor
out Of a bicycle. The woman is a

Sloan estimates the new type OF
construction is almost Is per cent
cheaper than the old type and that
the saving in taxes to the assessed
property owners will amount to
from $50 TO $40 a front foot.
In addition, Sloan says, such a
street presents a uniform and at
tractive appearance.
The central gutter, formed by
what amounts to a three-inch drop
in a thirty-foot street, serves as a
line of demarcation for opposite
bound traffic, thus eliminating acct
dents.
The plan is not easily applicable
to streets having car lines and has
been tried out in Chicago In an ex-
perimental manner with such great
success in a crowded market center
that now twenty-five miles Of the
new type construction is being con-
templated.

BIZ NEA Serv{ce
CHICAGO, May 2s.-Because a
youth was rolled by the sight OF
young mothers trying to jostle their
baby buggies over high curbings
and determined that some day he
would remedy the situation, Chicago
is to adopt q new type of concave
thoroughfare.
John J. Sloan. president Of the
board Of local improvements, is chief
advocate Of the plan and, incidental
ly, IS the Same young man Of years
ago.
Sloan's streets will be dish-shaped.
That IS. both sides will slope toward
the center and there Will be no curb
ings.
Instead OF cutters and catch
basins along either side as is the
common practice. there will be a
common gutter directly in the mid
die.
This new manner Of construction.

THE GREAT LEADER

Now all you folks who smiled when the Motto
Magnificent machine called Senator Jim Watson a
great leader" get down on your marrow bones and
apologize.
Let no say again that Watson does not
lead
If you want the proof, look at what happened in
the Senate when that body was faced with the duty
of voting to probe corruption of elections
The resolution affected the greatest right you
have-the right to vote.
For. most patiently. if your vote is nullifed by
crookedness and corruption and purchase, you have
no vote.
If money debauches the election machinery then
your boosted right to a ballot becomes a farce
and joke.
No, didn't that Watson led the fight
to expose and investigate corruption.
The resolution came from Senator of a rather
different record Jim Reed of Missouri who had
denounced any assault upon your rights as a voter
and who demanded that the Senate protect and de.
fend that right.
Did Watson hesitate in such crisis?
He did not.
He proved himself the leader that he IS
Watson, say the dispatches, led the rush to
the cloakroom, where he would not be compelled to
vote either for against probe of this corruption
He was the first to lead in the retreat, the rush
to cover the stampede for safety.
True, not many followed him.
There was Robinson from this State There were
five others who followed Watson in his great exodus
But Watson led.
There may be some who lament The fact that
Indiana has no Senators who vote on questions which
involve honesty of elections and the sacredness Of
the ballot
But they should have learned by this time that
that is too much TO expect as long as wisconsin
reigns in this State.
They may take solace from the fact that when
1t comes to lodging and retreat, Indiana furnishes
the leader.
Perhaps it is better to lead the cowardly and the
timid than not to lead at all.
Fifty years ago in Knockers would have
felt just as silly does now
These are the days we will wish for in a few
months
man in Chicago bit policeman on the nose.

the field was patented by Wheat
stone and Coole in 1S45. A drum
wound armature in which the con-
ductors are wound on the outside OF
an iron cylinder or drum was in
troduced by Werner Slemens IN
about the middle Of the last century.
About the same time or a little later
a type Of armature constructed in an
entirely different fashion was in
troduced by Gramme. Since 1880
| the greatest development has been
in the direction Of improving details
of design and of mechanical con-
struction.
