with e. Z. Give got together and
decided to cast Heggie as Amos Pur-
die, j. 2. and give Chicago and New
York a chance to pass upon it.
According to Heggie, the role he
plays in this comedy is that of an
''old hypocrite" and Heggie is con-
sidered a great artist in bringing
''old men" to the stage. He was
a big success IN "Minick." a play
which did not reach Indianapolis.
Major Beth and Mr.. Heggie are
Of the opinion that there is an over
production Of plays in New York as
it is necessary with seventy and then
some theaters to give all theaters
good play"
Both men are OF the opinion that
New York as had lean season when
it comes to worth while things of
the theater.
AS usual with noted visitors. they
asked me regarding Booth Tardng-
ton and Meredith Nicholson.
1.-THE last time 1 saw Booth Tark-
ington was in New York while one
Of his interesting plays was being
presented" Major Beth said.
And so the star and the author
are hoping that the Indianapolis
verdict will be of such a decided de-
gree that it will predict success both
in Chicago and New York.
Heggie is Of the opinion that Chi
cago should be its own producing
center and not rely upon New York
for all of it's plays.
And so Indianapolis tonight will
have a real first night at English's
when THE Sport Of Kings" IS pre-
scented for a three-day engagement.
England already has declared this
comedy to be a success.

Women and the LazU

1.-THE fact that you are a woman is all that saves
you If you were man, would hang you"
That was the comment of an Illinois Judge as he
sent to prison cell woman who had killed her
husband.
The murder If there be gradations in this
crime, was most atrocious.
She wanted to get rid of the husband, who for
years had given to her all that he could earn.
He had been kind There was no record Of bru-
tality or of neglect.
But there was another man, and the husband
carried life insurance policy. She took the road
TO freedom and small wealth by giving poison 10 the
husband who trusted her.
Not mitigating circumstance, not reason for
mercy, not even an attempt to drag out the usual
plea for insanity.
1t was the brutal killing by selfish, savage crea-
ture who put her passion and desires above hui
man life.
But the law, administered by men, pauses
when it comes to the killing Of
Here is something for those feminists who pro-
claim this man-ruled world to think about. In the
demand for the equal Justice, the same rights
and responsibilities are women willing to forego,
not the mercy of men, but that attitude Of to-
ward woman which places her sacred plane
that all women, even the most degraded, never
beyond its influence?
Theoretically we should hang our women killers
with the same sternness that we put out of the
world men who take the lives Of Others
But through the centuries men have gained
ideal of women that will never permit this to be
done no matter how outrageous, may be her acts.
The love that is inspired at the knees of a
mother extends to all women, and with it a rever-
that is deeper than respect for those frgd
ideas Of right and justice and law
We may write equality into the law. But we
can not erase from our hearts and minds the idea
that there is a divinity about women, whose mother
hood links her with the eternal.
She may have all the rights she wishes guaran-

A Sermon for Today
Rev. John r. Gum
THE CRIME OF NEGLIGENCE

which we hear and read so much
these days.
Perhaps some may think negli-
gence does not deserve TO DO classedI
as a crime. But walt a moment. "If'
thou forbear to deliver them that
are drawn unto death. and those
that are ready to be slain what
does that amount to? II amounts 60
this, that he who neglects 10 save a
life, kills. Men are often tried and
condemned In our courts OF law ON
charges Of criminal negligence,
When we consider the fatalities that
result from negligence, It would
seem that IL deserves 10 be classed
as one OF tho most appalling Of
crimes. We talk about the crime OF
violence, but while violence has
slain It's thousands, negligence has
slain its tens OF thousands.
Think this matter through, not
only as It applies on the level OF
physical life, but on the higher level
OF moral, social and religious LIE,
and you will soon see that the most
important phase of Americas crime
problem Is that which has to do with
the crime OF negligence. While you
are thinking about II, do not forget
to think about it in relation to your
self. And do not overlook that last
solemn word Of the text: Doth not
he render to every man according
to his works?"

A general antiseptic bath may

finds 1t is hard to draw the line.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
IT have q great many friends

their parents are always present.
they play kissing games all tie
evening. Their parents do not
object. OF course. l join In the
games because l do not wish to
be wallflower.
after reading your articles,
I have been thinking about the
matter. l cannot see that it
does any harm to indulge In this
sort of pastime as long as 1t is
only in fun. But l do not be-
lieve in letting every young man
with whom / spend the evening,
take a kiss for his pay. These
kisses / consider should be kept
for The Only Man
las I'm going away soon,
these young people are giving
a party for me. expect the
usual games will be played and
/ expect to spend an enjoyable
evening playing them. But l am
afraid that two or three Of the
young men with whom l have
had dates. will ask for real
kiss before l go. This 1 do not
wish to give, as | do not wan to
throw away my kisses. But l do
not know how to avoid 1t, as l do
not want to hurt their feelings.
please advise me regarding
this matter. Your reply Will
also help other girls"
Since you approve OF kissing In
fun and all your friends know
you indulge in such kisses. why
don't you explain to the young
men who ask to give you a good
by kiss that you think too much
of them to give them a mree peck
or kiss in fun" but not enough
for a serious kiss. Tell them this
jolSingly.
think you will find 1t easier
to keep the subject of your kisses
straight in your own mind and
that of your friends, Polly, if you
do not indulge in kissing as a
means Of passing away the time.

During health this disinfection

formed with soap and warm
water. This removes with the
