The Passing of General Wood

Home on leave, Maj Gen. Leonard Wood, COVER
nor general of the Philippine Islands, died in Boston
Sunday.
In many ways a great favorte of fortune, General
Wood died pretty much broken-hearted man.
Educated doctor but entering the Army step
by step through Indian and the war with Spain
the general to the position of chief of staff.
But when the World War came it was not he but
Gen. John j. Pershing officer much his junior
who was chosen to lead the American expeditionary
forces overseas
Much needless mystery has been thrown about this
historic incident But the facts to be that while
President Wilson held the general in high esteem
believed him unable to submit his judgment to his
superior in command. Controversy and conflict of
judgment in the fighting zone would have been fatal
This of course, was bitter disappointment to
General Wood But, be it said to his everlasting
credit, he remained at home and carried on" in
every way worthy of the Distinguished Service Medal
he received.
In 1920 he one of the leading candidates for
the Republican nomination His enthusiastic friends
led him to believe the nomination was virtually his
but again he to be disappointed. The nomination
went to Senator Harding.
Sent to the Philippines in 1921 on tour of in
vestgation, he subsequently named governor gen.
eral. He was already sick man and had undergone
an operation for recurrent brain tumor which, it
seems, later to end in his death. And from the
first weeks of his administration he faced an organ
lied native opposition which made his life anything
but pleasant.
For six years without let-up, without relief from
the heat of the tropics and without once returning
to the States the general stuck to his post dying
man, to all intents and purposes he refused to give
up until he had completed the job he set out to d.
If at last he was obliged to yield to his physical
infirmities fguratively he dies as he had always
wanted to die, with his boots on.
favorite of three Presidents Cleveland Mckinley
and Roosevelt distinguished governor general under
two more-Harding and Coolidge; colonel of the IA
nous Rough Riders" and organizer of Cuba; chief
of our general staff and leading candidate for the
presidency-here are honors indeed and enough for
any man.
But three great disappointments- being al
lowed to lead the A. E. F. in 1917, thecolapse of his
presidential hopes and the waning of his strength
before he had done what he wanted to do in the
Philippines three reverses no doubt somewhat
dimmed the real satisfaction which should have been
his at the end.
With his passing, however, there can be no doubt
that the Nation has lost of its most courageous
soldiers and loyal servitors.

Dear Editor: DR.. Herman G.
Morgan asserts that it is only "over-
flow or back water" that flows
through the old College Ave. and
Fifty-Fourth st. sewers. Perhaps
there is some truth in that state
ment, but would he try to say the
same thing about the Raymond st.
sewer, and the larger one Just north
of the Belt railroad?
Within only three blocks of the
main sewer, why'is it they are not
connected? DR.. Morgan also as
serts that, Reconstruction would
be expensive and it would have to
be worked out by the city depart
ments concerned" Well, why not?
That's exactly what they are getting
paid for, and if they are so in
capable of working out a problem
as simple as connecting a couple
OF sewers onto a main line. then it's
high time we were getting rid OF
"all concerned" including DR.. Nor

upon himself to close a place like
Mcclure Beach because it is insani-

should also take it upon himself to

the city, to correct said insanitary
conditions without further delay, as
he would a private individual.
If, in 1914, the Board of Health
saw fit to order that "all" sewage
should be disposed of by treatment,
it evidently meant "all" and not
part" The same order should be
enforced in 1927 and without con-
troversy.
1t would have been very clever
idea, to take the money that went
for green tile roofing and the best
brick obtainable. and bits of artis-
tic masonry, and used it to connect
all sewers properly in the begin

lice station. city hall or any others
that have ever seen, can be COM

been just as serviceable and would
have saved thousands of dollars Of
the taxpayers money.

for the ministry, but who still can't
shake off the call of the sea. BY
saving Bess Morgan, as played by
Pauline Starke, a notorious woman
of the Boston waterfront, from a
fate worse than death, he lays him.
self open to the infamities of the
bigoted religious people of the vii
lage.
This part'is hard to do because of
the feeling that has been aroused
lately upon the same subject. Han
son has a touch to the part that
causes no animosity toward him and
even puts you in the same frame of
mind and makes you agree with his
views.
The part of Pauline Starke as a
harlot of the Boston waterfront is
one that is not easy OF play. Her
acting is without reproach and the
scene in which she dies is not the
usual "Sobby" scene which is in so
much vogue in FINLAND. She makes
you feel that she has accomplished
her purpose in life. In this scene
also Hanson gives the best demon
stration of a man on the verge of
losing his mind that I ever saw. 1t
shows the turning point in his life.
Among other outstanding charac-
ter parts is that of the Captain,
played by Ernest Terrence. He is
the captain of certain ship and
consequently is hard-hearted and
hard-boiled. He tries to impress by
assuming a smirk and a religious
manner, while underneath he is as
ruthless as the worst pirate that
sailed the sea at that time. His
little ingenious devices for making
his men respect him and the con-
victs obey him would put some of
the InquiSition ideas to shame. Tor
renee plays his role in such a man
ner that you could see no one else
in the part.
AS the sweetheart Of Arson,
Marceline Day does not have much
of a role but she put her whole
heart into the part and does Won
ders with it. While she tries to
hate him she loves him, and in
the end she wins back his love.
On the stage is Paul Specht and
his orchestra, in a presentation of
his own invention, Rhythmic SYM
phonic Syncopation,P which he ex-
plains is a new form of musical
expression. Johnney Morris, the
singing drummer, and Lou Gala
brese, the trumpet playing banjoist,
are featured in the series of popular
numbers hat is presented. The

Tourist Business

Nothing proves this country's
prosperity more wildly than its
pleasure resorts.
The tourist trek has become a
serious business.
Something like a million go to
Maine each summer, and something
like another million go to Florida
and California each winter.
Every sizeable city has its amuse-
ment parks, its quiet outlying sub
urbs, and its far-fung communities
for those who cannot be absent for
long period, but feel they must get
out of town.
There is Coney Island for New
York, and another Coney Island for
Cincinnati there is a Belle Isle for
Detroit; a North Shore for Boston;
a Santa Monica and Long Beach
for Los Angeles.
Towering above all these, and
serving the country as a whole ra-
ther than particular localities, are
such famous watering places as Bar
Harbor, Atlantic City, Miami and
Colorado Springs.

daughter, until Tom blows into
town. He there discovers former
soldier buddy working in the trac-
tor plant. Tom drove a car trac-
tor during the World War, and it
didn't take him long to discover
several ailments of the tractor un-
der construction.
Tom falls into the traps OF those
who do not want the tractor to be
a success. Of course Tom falls in
love with the daughter of the factory
owner. And, as Alice Stoddard,
Mary Brian does some of the cuteSt
and prettiest work she has ever
given the screen.
Tom Roberts is a corking good
hero, who knows what ails tractors,
ana he has a good valuation of good
women. 1t is this natural homespun
characterization of Richard Dix that
gives the photoplay much of its
charm.
The big scene is when Tom drives
the tractor through heavy rain
storm while hauling load of dyna-
mite. The explosives were needed to
blast an opening in order to give re-
lief to dam. If the dam broke the
town would be flooded. So Tom be-
comes the village hero, the tractor
becomes a success and Alice Stoo-
dard decides to change her name to
Roberts.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 8.-This is
the season of weekend trips and va
cations, when most people are think
ing how they can spent few days
in the big outdoors, or at least give
the children an airing.
No doubt they ought to be paying
more attention to the serious things
of life-the Geneva conference, farm

they are not.
Their thoughts are centered on a
little recreation, if not little rest,

I took Sunday Off anyway, and
went from Toledo to Put-in-Bay,

along with three thousand other
people on the excursion steamer

good drenching from one of those
quick-fire storms that are common

JULY wEATHER-AND MURPHY

JULY WEATHER-AND MURPHY
July, 1927, has passed and the
American farmer is cheerful. Most
of the great staple crops of this con-
tinent are flourishing. Wheat will
be a bumper crop. Corn has made
rapid recovery from the effects Of
adverse conditions last spring. The
weather of the past month was in
no way exceptional or remarkable.
The unofficial prognosticator who
threatened us with devastating cold
waves in July took long shot. The
odds we're a hundred to one against
him, but he might have hit the
mark. Such things have happened.
There was the case Of Murphy.
In England, after the lapse Of
nearly century, they still talk Of
"Murphy's Winter" Daniel Murphy
published a weather Almanac" in
which among number of vague and
haphazard prophecies, he declared
that the lowest temperature of 1888
would be experienced on January 20.
This prediction was verified in the
fullest measure. January 20 was the
coolest day England had known for
generations. The prophet became
famous overnight. People flocked to
the booksellers to buy copies of his
almanac. The edition was soon ex-
hausted and this work actually
underwent more than fifty reprint
ings to satisfy public demand.
Meteorologists have since COM
pared the daily predictions in MUIR
phys almanac for 1888 with the
weather that prevailed day by day
during that year in London. The
announcements for 1877 DAYS we're
decidedly wrong. The others were
wholly or partly right, but were
mostly as indefinite and elastic as
almanac weather predictions are
wont to be. One lucky guess made
the author immortal, and, inciden-
tally rich.

Tom AIexander's Entry

Put-in-Bay is Toledos favorite
spot for daily excursions during the
summer beautiful island, not
spoiled by too much jazz, and rich
in those historical traditions that
intrigue the fancy.
Tom Alexander, who came there
to spend vacation thirty-seven
years ago, saw its possibilities; his
vision made clearer, no doubt, by
the attractive granddaughter of
John Brown.
He was an actor playing in stock
at the time. An artist trained in
the school of hard knocks, one of
those singular geniuses of the stage
