"You see," he explains, cts the tariff idea re-
versed Manufacturers aided by an import tariff
wall which collects premium all foreign factory
products brought in The farmers, under this plan
would be protected by an export wall which would
pay premium on all homegrown products shipped
out"
But where would the money come from to pay
this premium" asks one bewildered Senator.
"Out of the tariff revenue" says the professor.
"The tariff may be looked upon as a trust
fund to be used in any way that will best benefit
a whole"
But to give away several million dollars of tariff
revenue would mean that the Government must
source!
Not necessarily, suggests the professor. The
Government might merely lower tariff rates bit
The present rates too high to bring in maximum
revenue. An adjustment would easily increase the
total several million dollars and such an ad-
justment would be anything but misfortune to
American consumers.
81 estimate says the professor, that $780,
100000 paid premium exported farm products
each year would put at least $500 100000 in the
farmers pockets"

TOO MUCH STRAIN
ON THE PRISONER

Search for DR. y. b. Ross Of
Muncie, convicted lifer, who failed
to return 10 state prison at the OK

is being pushed vigorously. Pho
tographs and descriptions OF the
fugitive have been broadcast
The Times has received a letter
purporting To be from the missing
prisoner. poStmarked New Or
leans. II authentic, it. may indi-
cate that the fugitive is southwark
bound to some haven in South
America beyond the reach OF ex-
tradition.
Maybe he will be captured and
brought back to Michigan City to
serve out his sentence and may he
he will not. At any rate State Off
Gals are aroused over his disap-
pearance and If he isn't captured it
won't be through lack Of zeal and
diligence of the authorities in the
pursuit.
Without any reference 20 his
imposed upon him, or the refusal
Of the pardon board to extend his
parole or grant his clemency plea.
We don't blame the prisoner for
fleeing For the moment free. but
with "a life sentence facing him,
he took the natural course.
Under similar circumstances
most OF us would have done like
wise. Few oc us could play the
role Of Pythias.
No doubt the state officials who
let DIR. Ross out Of prison TO visit
his aged mother thought they were
doing n kindly, humanitarian act.
Were they? Granting a lifer a
thirty or sixty-day parole with the
expectation that ne will voluntar-
lily return to his cell when the time
is up is putting too much strain
on the prisoner. It's merely
tempting him to escape.

MUZZLING
THE DOGS

Stray dogs, savage dogs and
mad dogs" are causing Indian
apolis police much trouble. A half
dozen persons have been attacked
on the streets and bitten in the
past two days. And there are all
the elements in the situation for a
first-class war of determination on
all the dogs running at large.
Throughout the State there has
been an unusual number of at
tacks on persons by vicious dogs
in the past two or three weeks. AS
a result of which the State board
of health has recommended that
all dogs in the State be muzzled
or quarantined for a period Of
ninety days beginning April Is.
Perhaps that recommendation
and any real war on dogs may
seem unnecessary cruelty to ami
NAL lovers. But there are two
sides TO the dog question.
Up at Tomlinson Hall this week
was one side, the spring dog show
of the Hoosier Kennel Club. There

~7 HEY fought in the same regi-
ment of the Russian army
during the World War.
Sunday night they will play in the
same orchestra.
Both are now great conductors.
One, Vladimir Bakaleinikoff, is con-
ductor of the orchestra of the Mos
COW Art Theater Musical Studio; the
other, Constantin Bakaleinikoff, con-
ductor of the Circle Theater orches-
ira.
Vladimir is now on his first visit
as orchestral head of that wonderful
Russian organization. The Moscow
Art has been in Cincinnati all week
and Vladimir will drop off here Sun
day to conduct the Circle Orchestra
in honor of his brother and the Cir
Gle Theater at 1880 p. IN. Sunday.
The plan is for the orchestra to
play Poet and the Peasant" with
Vladimir conducting and with Con-
stantin yielding the orchestral desk
to his older brother. "Bak" will
play a cello solo with his brother
conducting.
When great conductors come to
this country they often appear as
guest conductors, and this will be
the first time that Vladimir has ac-
cepted the many offers as guest con-
ductor
This arrangement, OF course, is
suject to change If conditions would
make it impossible, but Vladimir as
sures their department that he will
be here Sunday. The Moscow Art
opens Monday in Chicago.
"Ball' and his older brother
separated in Russia eight years ago
and they met again last Monday for
the first time in Cincinnati. And it
was some greeting.
Vladimir in Constantine absence,
has married and so has Constantin.
And he (Vladimirl is crazy over
jazz" Constantin says. He wonders

On Holding Husbands

new decalog is given the world of women by
one Mrs Ruth Maurer, head of national chain of

husband.
The decaog is couched in ironic vein. What
the worthy lady wants to say with loud, firm voice
is really, For the love O. Mike and Pete if you
want to keep your man, don't do any Of this fool
stuff
Said fool stuff includes the use of soap and
hot water on the face instead of cleansing creams
which make the skin you love to touch, no face
powder, bleaches and poor hair dyes, exposure to
wind and air and sun.
This rules, if followed carefully, will cause any
woman to look fright and end up in the divorce
court" the lady summarizes her decalog.
There's nice social question tied up here One
of womsn's most ancient grievances is a deeprooted
belief that husband demands in wife those very
qualities which make her lose him and seek interest
elsewhere, but which. II defed by her, make her
lose him anyway.
In other words, wives, many of them, have al
ways believed that husband turned thumbs down
on a wife who beautifed herself and stopped to the
follies of cream and powder rouge but soaced him
self by looking upon somebody else's Wifes cheek
when it was red.
