nival For the real social season of
New Orleans starts on Twelfth Night
twelve days after Christmas) and
comes to it's climax of a series of mag
nificent and costly balls with the night
of Mardi Gras when the Ball of Rex
and the Ball of Comus bring the win
ter season here to a full stop.
Mardi Gras in New Orleans That
is the phrase that has drawn millions
of Americans here year after year for
a century. They came to revel here
in the days when New Orleans could
be reached by the rest of America
only on river steamboats, and coasting
sailing vessels-unless you rode down
on horseback. They come today in de
luxe trains that have Shower baths
and BARRIERS and manicures and radio
as part of their standard equipment.
Within the life of those living today
they will be coming by airplane-
some already have done so.
Some Come for Day.
Scores of thousands only come for
the day of Mardi Gras. But hundreds
of others whose names have been in
the Social Register for generations,
come shortly after Christmas and are
guests at the most remarkable series
of balls in any social season anywhere
in the world.
The cost? 1t runs far into the mil
lions of dollars with every Carnival.
1t is nothing unusual for the wealthy
father of some debutante in New Or
leans to spend from $4,000 to $4,000
to launch his daughter upon her So
cial career. The frock Of one Carnival
queen, a girl of nineteen, daughter of
millionaire Louisianan, alone cost
$4,000 at a recent carnival. Nor is
that a rare and isolated instance.
Nearly twenty balls mark the Car
nival season that eliminates on Mardi
Gras. 1t is not unusual to have from
100000 to 100000 spent upon sin
gle ball. For every ball is planned a
year in advance, with special scenery
and decorations, with special costumes
for the members Of each Krewe. Many
of the older, more historic Krewes
have their costumes made in Paris by
costumers who from father to son for
generations have counted that New
Orleans patronage one of the greatest
assets of their business.

BY LAURENCE TODD,

WASHINGTON.-Without roll
call, after weeks of delay with oc-
casional debate, the Dill radio control
bill, in compromise form acceptable
to Herbert Hoover, passed the senate
and went to President Coolidge for
signature.
Provisions in the original senate
bill, stricken out in conference, re-
quired that all material broadcast at
the expense of any private interest be
SO declared by the announcer; also,
that with regard to broadcasting
statements by candidates for public
office the station permitting any can
didate to speak must grant equal
privileges to all candidates-that is,
be treated as a common carrier. II
further provided that, for political
talks "such license shall have no

hIngly and COurtly.
Every ball has it's king and queen
They eliminate in the Ball of Rex
And the King and Queen of Rex are
King and Queen of the Carnival. All
other monarchs of the season are sub
servient to them. But each queen is
surrounded by her court of Maids OF
Honor and each King is surrounded
by his court of Dukes.
Most gorgeous of all the balls is
the BAH of Comus which is given on
the same night-the night of Mardi
Gras-as the Ball of Rex. In full
panoply of royal state, that night
the King and Queen of Rex and
Comus with their courts interchange
visits.
To be King and Queen of Carnival
is the highest social honor New Or
leans man and debutante can receive.
it is costly honor. Any king of Car
nival, or Rex, as he is known, must
figure on accepting the honor that he
has kissed goodbye to from $4,000 to
$4,000.
But they make 1t all back, II they
are either real estate men with prop
erty up state, or out Of the bayou
swamps-or if they are hotel keepers
For the Mardi Gras is the grandest
advertising stunt that parasitic
American gang of town boomers ever
thought of. The crowds come from
far and near, the parades swirl thru
the streets, hundreds of floats on
which thousands of dollars have been
spent, costumed figures decked as
knights and ladies, Klansmen or burnt
cork minstrels, and recruited for fifty
cents a day from the slums, give col
or. and the real estate men and the
hotel keepers reap their golden har.
vest.
The Mardi Gras has its business
aspects-quite a few Of them. The
hundredth exhibition of ostentatious
display will break quite few fathers
Of debutantes, but for the poorer sec
tions of New Orleans it will mean q
little cheap labor, and for the men or
the make, it is the yearly fools fes-
tival, where the fool has a good time
and leaves his money with those pre-.
destined to separate him from it.

W DRAMA III
Breaking Chains Ap-
peals to Workers
To Make Tour

This remarkable Russian film, now
being shown for the first time in
America after a sensational run in
European countries, is received with
great satisfaction and appreciation
by all who have the good fortune to
see it.
Thousands who have seen the film
the first time have been deeply i'm
pressed with the tale it tells. In
Chicago, where Breaking Chains"
was shown in December last, over
two thousand people were turned
away the first night.
Breaking Chains" is story that
speaks Of history in the making.
While it has its plot with its heroes,
villains, lovers and fighters, it also
portrays the development of a new
order of society, besides giving a
realistic glimpse of the days of the
barricades during the revolution. The
film is a real story Of life, full of ac-
tion, drama and reconstruction. 1t
fires the imagination and brings hope
to the enslaved.

Another Arbitration
Scheme to Injure the
Building Trades Men

CLEVELAND. - Charles Smith,
business agent of the building
trades council of Cleveland, has a
new arbitration plan. In a long,
dreary article in the Cleveland Citi-
zen of Feb. II he elucidates his plan,
on the basis of a proposed agree
ment.
Not New.
There is nothing novel about the
plan, for it is a counterpart of the
U. S. Governments plan for set
tling railroad disputes, but is some
what simplified. According to Smith,
Board of Adjustment or Media
tion," consisting of a certain num-
ber of members appointed by the
General Contractors Association and
like number appointed by the
Building Trades Councils, will deal
with each issue arising. Should a
dispute arise, meeting of the board
would have to be called within 4S
hours.
"Three days shall be given the
board in which to find and render a
decision, unless further time is de-
cided or agreed on. Pending and
awaiting the decision of the board,
work on the job in question shall
continue"
Boss Does Anything.
"Any action taken by the Building
Trades Council in protection of the
right granted by the Building Trades
Department of the A. f. of L. shall
not be deemed a violation or give
cause for the voiding of this agree
ment. Amy steps the General Con-
tractors Association may Judge ne
cessary to take to cover and safe
guard the interests of its members
shall not be deemed violation or
give cause for the voiding of this
agreement"
In explanation Of this agreement,
it is stated by Smith that the en-
ployers can decide on a permanent
body of men for their side, if they
please. AS far as the workers are
concerned, if, for instance, the car
penters get into dispute with the con-
tractors, then the members Of the
board on the workers side will con-
sist of carpenters altogether
Thinks Will Bring Peace.
"But the best Of Smiths argument
is the following: at would do away
with all these sprints to courts af-
ter writs and injunctions, paying fer
high-priced attorneys who are will
ing to work both ends against the
middle for the proper fee, and il
would also do away with these 'pri-
vate dicks who infest the labor
movement, and who turn in reports
filled with hes that do their em.
ployers no good whatever"
The whole plan is kind of modi.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23.-Amer-
ica's maddest, merriest frolic and
revel dawns again as old New Orle-
ans sets the stage for her one hun
dreth Mardi Gras.
Straight down the line of the years
for century the South's greatest
city that itself is more than two CEN
turies old, has staged that carnival
amid scenes of lavish splendor unique
in the new world. And the hundredth
Mardi Gras will be the greatest Of
them all.
Other American cities have their
festivals. But nowhere in America
is there anything approaching the
carnival that every year sees a city
Of more than half a million souls shut
its doors and turn loose for day of
revelry-the only day in all the year
when masking is permitted in Louisi-
ana by law from sunrise to sunset.
City Care Forgot"
That day New Orleans becomes
what those who know her best and
love her best have always called her
The City That Care Forgot. That
day millionaire banker, in mask and
costume, revels on the streets in a
throng that holds the bootblack as
well--that holds men and women, boys
and girls, from every walk of life.
There is nothing like it anywhere
in the Western Hemisphere. For
there is something about the spirit of
Mardi Gras in New Orleans that
sweeps off their feet those who are
not natives, just as it sweeps from
their feet those whose families for
generations have been born, have
lived, and have died here.
Mardi Gras itself-Fat Tuesday
the day before Ash Wednesday--the
day when men bid farewell to fleshly
things at the dawn of Lent's forty
days of prayer and fasting-that day
comes on March l in 1927.
What It's About.
The very word Carnival tells the
story. 1t comes from the Latin, Carne
