be used to start relief fund for the
families of French aviators killed in

to think seriously of his future plans.
Il want to devote some time to
study. l would like to become asso.

HENDERSON, n. c., August Il
R.-Concentrated efforts of textile
union leaders, taking a hand in the
strike of 500 employees of four Harriet
Cotton Mills in South Henderson to
induce the 600 workers in the North
Henderson factories to walk out in
sympathy, last night had borne no
appreciate fruit.
The striking workmen and women
appeared to be lending little attention
to efforts of textile union representa-
tives to organize them, and continued
their policy of watchful waiting. Mill
owners also were sitting tight on their
refusal to accede to the demands of
the striking operatives for a 12h per
cent raise.

here today in addressing the Uni

He advocated the creating of coun.
Gil for political education, which would
have it's headquarters in Washington
and be composed of men from both
parties.
'It should aim to keep the people
thinking, talking and reading about
political questions" he stated. 1T

Political parties, the speaker said,
serve useful purposes, which he out
lined as follows: To outline public
policies; to educate the voter as to
these policies; to formulate into law
proper policies and wisely administer
such laws in the interest of justice and
equity, and. as checks and balances
are most important among human
beings. a political party out of power
should exercise wisely the right of

engineers. Mr.. Allen said, while eco
nomic experts declare it to he of
greater Importance to the 43 .0o0,0
people of the Middle West than the
building of the Panama Canal.
Sponsoring the so-called 'interna-
tional plan" as opposed to an all
American route" Mr.. Allen pointed
out that this route had an advantage
OF 625 miles in trade with Europe, in
addition to the important supplement
of tremendous water power.
Power Would BE Profitable.
"The international engineers. whose
report is approved by Secretary
Hoover, estimate that the power de-
veloped as a by-product of building
the 33-mile-lock canal to eQualiZe the
rapids, will amount to over two mil
lion horsepower of hydroelectric ener-
gy," he said. This will belong in
equal parts to the United States and
Canada. It's sale will pay its share of
the construction cost of the improve
ment.
This would relieve the United
States and Canada of the necessity
of appropriating the money of the
taxpayers. The St. Lawrence project
would thus not interfere with any
other program of water transporta-
ton now seeking the aid of Con-
gress, since the construction of the
st. Lawrence Canal would lay no
burden on the taxpayer"
Other Route Difficult.
While the improvement of the St.
Lawrence route to permit the en-
trance of ocean vessels would involve
Improvement of only 33 miles around
y~ir nd
of the Welland Canal between Lake
Erie and Lake Ontario, the all
American route" offers more diff
culties, he said This latter route,
from Oswego on Lake Ontario, across
New York to the Hudson, would have
the disadvantage of 20 locks instead
of the nine on the st. Lawrence
proposal, and would be INSTRUCTED
by "a bridges instead of the eight
overhead structures on the st. Law
renee, he continued.
Mr.. Allen declared that New Eng
lands support had been given to the
international proposal on the basis of
cheaper transportation for the West
and cheaper power for New England.
This, he added, leaves New York as
the sole opponent of the plan.
Z THE physical effect Of the i'm
provement will be to make ports OF
the Great Lakes ocean ports. ne ue-
clared 1.-The economic effect will
be to lower transportation costs from
the surplus food-producing district
of the United States, giving better
returns to both producer and con-
sumner"
Lack of Understanding Blamed.
Charging that European nations
were manifesting i'll favor toward the
United States on account of war debt
collections, Mr.. Allen told the insti-
tute last night that this was based on
a lack Of understanding Of the "gener-
Gus attitude of this country"
people of France, England and
Germany know as little about what
we've really done as the people of the
United States" said Mr.. Allen. None
of them realize that we have reduced
the obligations of France to an
amount no greater than the sum ad-
vanced since the signing of the arnis-
tice, and that our reductions in Italy
and the smaller nations have
amounted to an even greater per-
centage."

hopes to be able to start the project
curing this coming summer.
Barr has number of the very

and complete arrangements witt

TWO FAMOUS INDIAN OPERA
STARS TO APPEAR JOINTLY
AT GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT

here should be one of the high lights
of the current season.
Os-ke- non-Ton, famous Mohawk,
sings songs about Indans-thcir own
songs about thier own doings, and
he takes you far, far away to the
days when the red man held sway
in the L. S. A., and hunted, and
made war, and made love. He shows
the life in the tribal camp the
squaw mother grooming to her wee
rapoose-the prayer to the Great
Spirit" the war incantations, the
feast of victory. Os-Ken-N -Non-Ton
is of the Mohawks, and all of his
forbears We're chieftains and many
Of them figure in the tales of Feni-
more Cooper.
1t has been no easy road to hoe
from an Indian camp to the concert
stage, but Os-Ke-Non-Ton is p
stole, if ever there was one. In
fact, he blesses this as his prime
heritage. 1t made it possible to
achieve in the face of abnormal diff
ficulties. When Os-Ke-Non-gon
started out, he couldn't even speak
English-he' had no money no
friends-no companions.
But this young princeton such
he is-did not disdain stepping
stones He worked at anything that
came to hand and for some years
this consisted of being an usher in
Carnegie hall, New York, where he
was known as Oscar. In this wise,
he combined his ampition with his
worl--he heard the best-and the
worst--and developed a sound mus
icianship which he carried over into
his own vocal studies, which were
being constantly pursued.
His first big success came in Lon
don in 1924, which Immediately re-
suited i'll giving him q tour of the
English provinces the following
year. Then in January, 1925, he
sang his way, before capacity
house at the Town Hall, TO an i'm
mediate New York success, which
will keep him stepping" all over the
country.

An unusual dramatic and operatic
performance is promised the people
Of Douglas tonight in the joint mp"
pearance here of Cherokee princess
Tsianina, and OsKe-N NonTon, fa-
nous baritone of the Mohawks. The
performance will be given at the
Grand theatre under the a lspices OF
the Douglas club, whose efforts have
been responsible for the bringing of
there two famous Indian stars to a
Douglas theatre.
Perhaps no other Indian woman Of
the present day has won quite the
outstanding position that this young
singer has She seems to have sung
with quite striking success pretty
much all over this country, to say
nothing of the larger cities abroad.
Approval and honors shower upon
her and she is honorary member OF
more clubs and orga nizations that
she can keep track of.
The National Camp Fire Girls have
elected her thus, an honor only
similarly accorded to two profes
sonal sisters, Pavlowa and CALI
Curc. She is one of the few women
in the world to have been made an
active member of the American
legion, which bespeaks a remarkable
war record. incidentally there are
some twelve music clubs named after
Tsianina.
