CTRCLING THE POLE

An American aviator has circled the north pole,
cnchng whatever claim this country may wish to
make upon the end of the earth and bringing new
honors to this country.
But the most important part OF TINS accom-
pshment is the impetus which it will give to avia-
ton and the use Of the airplane in transportation
This daring adventurer in the new science ac-
compshed in a few hours what other Adventures in
the mast have spent months in mere endeavor
The trip through the clouds took less than SIX
teen hours Ships and dogs used by other seekers
for the pole would have required more than that
number of days weeks.
It is we'll within the realms of possibilities tnat
before the girl baby yesterday reaches the age
of young womanhood, she will be giving hying parties
to the same pole during the summer season. taking
her friends there with the same nonchaance which
her mother exhibits on taking crowd IN her niVNer
to a neighboring lake.
The airplane is certain to be common means
Of TRANSFORMATION in the very near future and cities
which give it the greatest encouragement now VIII
be the ones to profit most
The safety of air travel has been demonstrated
for the past five years in European systems of trans
portaton.
It is possible to travel between the European
capitals in air at saving Of twothrds the time re-
CURED by steam or gasoline.
The number of wrecks has been less than those
of land transportation.
All that is lacking is the mental attitude Of men
and women who travel AS soon as planes become
common the fear that comes from the unusual
will be gone
Men have always feared new inventions. He
was first afraid to ride the horse he domestcated.
He was afraid of the locomotive when 1t came. The
automobile seemed to be an open invitation to sui
eide when it appeared The airplane still occupies
this unenviable reputation.
But continual demonstrations of the safety vii!
overcome that. The obvious advantage of saving in
time and Of added comfort will make it than
attractive
Indianapolis is making its start in securing an
air field that will attract these air lines which
certain to be in operation in the very future.
Perhaps even more effort can be spent proftably
to make this air center
The airplane will bring changes. The city which
guesses right and guesses FIRST will get its million
very quickly.

WE'RE WITH YOU, ENGLAND!

Were with you, England" is the headline over
an editorial in the Washington Post for Sunday The
editorial discusses the strike in Great Britain. Here
are some phrases from it.
"At all costs the general strike must be broken.
at is an assault upon the throne, the govern
ment and the people of Great Britain :"
"If the British strike should develop into a war
of violence the United States will have duty to
perform. There will be neutrality in such war
The United States Government should range itself
instantly alongside the British government and
should lend every possible assistance to it. :.
1.-THE attack popular government in England
is an attack on popular government in the United
States"
And more of the same.
At the outset of the British strike we discussed
the possibility of such strike in the United States
Our conclusion that such strike could not
occur. But we did not take into consideration the
presence among our citizens of any damphool of the
kind that inspired the Washington Post editorial.
ut is an assault upon the throne" says the
Mortified Post, and "if it should develop into
Of violence" country must go to and
the British throne!
This country, composed then mostly of English
people, kicked itself free from that British
throne $50 years ago. Can you picture our people
going to to save that throne? No, you can't.
But you picture general strike in America that
would make the present in England seem small,
in numbers at least, if any American government
were to attempt to engage this country In war for
such purpose 1t would not be a strike merely
of our organized labor
Were with you. England" says the paper The
American people say the thing but the England they
mean is the whole Of it, peasant and prince, en-
ployed and employer, all of the mass of people in
the tight little island who have got themselves into
such an Industrial fix that ordinary means cannot
tbapo he triro
ton for the starvation and suffering Of the workers
We'd like to a better solution found But even
though might think we had this to offer, we
would not offer it with powder and shot.
We don't think for minute that this strike
means the end of the British throne but if it should
we'll that's Engands business. 1t certainly is
none of ours.

Movie Verdict

CIRCLE"Thea Bat" is jolly
fine entertainment. It is a
real movie delight.
OHIO-Douglas MacLean is
called upon to do some air
stunts in That's My Baby"
APOLLO - "Moana" is a
screen novelty which should
not be passed up by anyone,
who wants delightful enter
tainment along natural ro-
mantle lines.
COLONIAL-"H a V o c" is
another attempt to bring war
to the screen as we'll as the
theory that woman can cause
as much trouble asswar if she
desires. It is too melodrmatic.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-05-10
SOUND FAIR ENOUGH

The British trades union council, The United
Press tells US, officially announced in it's Sunday
communique that it would call off the strike if the
government would order the mine to with
draw their lockout notices.
To us this sounds like a very fair offer The
coal miners, be it remembered are not out strike
They are out because locked out by And it
was this lockout that preciptaed the general strike
What the labor council seems to be Offering
therefore, is to meet the government half way. This
is chance for both sides to save their faces and
nayhap Britain from civil war.

one picture in the. last year. The cast
l. peopled with sufficient talent, but
the director probably became all
worked up with his job, so much
so that he overdid his attempts at
realism. I suppose that Havoc"
is just melodrama and at times it
is just that and nothing more. The
characters are always extreme be-
cause the situations probably keep
EN- from being natural.
The cast includes George O'Brien,
Madge Bellamy. Leslie Fenton,
Margaret Livingston, Walter Nc
Grail and David Butler.
am not condemning Havoc"
as a war picture, but the main
difficulty with the theme and the
method of handling lit is that the
picture does not ring true.
AS usual have your own idea
about this one. Have mine and I
can't be changed.

Fathers Help

Wee Dick came home from school
one day and sulked around the
house. He didn't usually acl that
way-as quiet as a mouse. Course
mother couldn't understand and,
when it got her goat. she asked him
what the matter was, and Dick
produced a note.
Twas just a line from teacher,
saying marks were way down low,
and Dicky wasn't learnin all the
things he oughta know. The young
ster's mind, so teacher said, was
much inclined to roam--hed hafta
start in catchin' up by takin' school
work home.
That night NOM called on father:
You have got to help your son. He
needs some one to- jack him up, to
get his problems done" SO dad and
Dick got busy, and they sailed into
the mass of problems Dick had
worked before, but simply failed 20
pass.
Ten problems soon were tackled
and the answers jotted down. Dad
made Dick think them easy-but
they really made him frown. It's
fun to make your youngster think
that, In his work, you're bright. Dick
took them off to school next day
and two Of them were right.
