MATRIMONIAL ARGUMENT
English Scientist Says, Don't Marry
Below Self
BU United Press


LONDON, Oct. Modern demo-
cratic ideals conflict with proven re-
suits of English peerage heredity. ac-
cording to Thurkill Cooke, noted an
thropologist, in a recent address.
"Peerage is never benefited by
marriage with lower classes" he de-
clared. Families which spring from
socially homogeneous classes tend to
show a greater preponderance of no.
BILE endowments than families sub
jected to social and psychic stresses,
particularly those stresses arising
from the intermarriage with inferior
stocks.
Natural distinction and sound
heritage are not improved by the in
PRODUCTION of elements which are not
in accord with @ naturally rational
family. Intermarriage of the peerage
class with inferior stock heralds the
decadence or rich ancestral strains.
Family distinction of a stable
order is a product of show growth
and is seldom won by sudden eleva-
ton. which usually brings a loss of
adaptive equilibrium and frequent
reversion to the common ancestral
level"

PRETTY FACE OF
hindu GIRL LURES
RAJAHS TO FILMS

LONDON, Oct. because the
Dew has charmed London high
brow movie audiences for solid six
months, thus establishing a rec
ord-five rich and powerful Indian
princes are going into the movie
game in their own country.
It's alost as romantic a story as
anything that any Hollywood scena-
rio writer ever thought out. 1t be-
gins with DR.. Niranjan Pal, highly
educated Hindu of the Brahmin
caste, who got degrees in Calcutta
and London universities.
His diplomas proclaimed him a
medical man, but Pal preferred liter
allure and the theater and the films.
He wrote a reverent and beautiful
film scenario called 1.-THE Light of
ASIA" dealing with the romantic
story Of Buddha
Then he went back to India to
produce it ina new way. He would
have no artificial light, no fake
scenery, no greased-up faces.
He enlisted the aid Of several ed
ucated Hindus, most of whom we're
lawyers and doctors. They were not
professional actors, but they knew
something about the life Of their own
people. The scenes were taken in
brilliant sunlight. Where a scene
was to occur in a palace, 1t was
really taken in one.
Little Seeta Devi, beautiful daugh-
ter Of a Brahmin family, was chosen
for the part of the heroine.
When the film was finished. DR..
Pal tried to get it shown in India.
He found all the leading movie
houses tied up for American films.
To get a chance to show in Calcutta
and Bombay be had to pay the own
ers Of several houses sums which
totaled $4,000.
Pal went to various Indian princes
and tried to get them to put up
money to produce Indian films by
Indian actors and to be shown in
Indian as well as European houses.
&c get a reputation" they all
told him YEARLY. "Show IS that
Europe can be interested in Indian
films"
Pal came back to London and
found all the houses practically
closed against him. So he rented a
nall himself. The picture has been
going strong ever since.
He sent man to New York to
look for an opening. Nothing doing
But now bigger things are opening
out for Pal. The Indian princes
have been convinced by his success
in London. So the Maharajah Of
Alwar, the Maharajah OF Patiala, the
Maharajah of Bikanir, the Ma
haraJah Of Jaipur and the Agha
Khan have associated themselves in
a $5,000,000 scheme to produce films
and build movie houses.
Their highnesses,' said Pal, "are
not in this thing for profit, nor to
fight the American film industry
But they want to make an opening
for Indian films in their own coun.
try. They contemplate building 300
movie houses.

CHICAGO MURDER
DOCKET CLEANUP.
HOPE OF JUDGE
State Asks Death for IL De.
PENDANTS on Trial in
October.
BD Times special

Bu Times Special
CHICAGO, Oct. IAN earnest and
spectacular attempt to clear the
amazing Chicago crime docket for
the first time in more than ten
years has been inaugurated by Will
liam J. Lindsay, new chief justice
of the Criminal Court.
Judge Lindsay has selected Octo-
Der as murder month" and during
that thirty-one days he proposes to
dispose of all the big murder trials
that have cluttered the records of
the court through endless months of
delays and postponements.
Is Experiment
The plan is an experiment in swift
justice and Lindsay admits that it
may not work: But he is determined
to try and the city is watching his
moves with eager approval.
Soon after taking the office of chief
justice, a position in which he prob
ably comes in contact with more
killers than any other man in the
country, Lindsay found that the
Criminal Court docket had not been
clear of murder cases since 1915. He
then drew up what he called a muir
der calendar" and ordered that all
trials for murder and acts Of violence
be placed ahead.
Judge Lindsay's clerk reported
that an even dozen important MUIR
der cases were pending. The judge
then ordered all Of them set for Oc-
tober and notified the defense attor-
neys that he would grant no contin-
uances except in cases where real
emergencies made them necessary.
Six Judges
Six judges, including the chief JUS
tice, will be brought to the criminal
bench to hear the murder trials and
the score or more of assault cases.
The prospect of the courts &C.
tually catching up with the crime
wave in this manner has caused
stir in the underworld, which ha
long considered the Criminal Court
to be little more than a tool Of the
skillful defense attorneys who win
delays for their clients through tne
technicalities Of the law. Judge
Lindsay believes the psychological
effect of his plan will go a long way
toward reducing crime.
Salts to Trial
One of the most importan trials Of
the murder month" series will be
that of Joseph Salts, notorious
gangster, and his two accomplices.
Frank Concil and John Oberto, for
the killing of John Foley, south side
beer baron" In this case +he
State will demand the death pen
atty for all three defendants.
Others for whom hanging will be
asked include former Detective
Thomas Christianson, accused of
numbering a roadhouse proprietor;
