LOOKING OVER NEW

My critical opinion of the new

Walter Brewer is one of those in

OF his own in putting over his stories.
He is easily one of the hits of the
bill. Rey, Conway and Thomas,

a pleasing song and dance offering

Cincinnati s Story

If any politician tries to frighten you away from
the city manager movement, tell him the story of
Cincinnati
That story is printed today in the words of
Mayor Seasongood of that city.
That city once stood for all that bad in
city government. 1t bossridden. 1t paid trib-
ute to it's politicians. It's people knew that laws
were sold to privilege seekers. The people
plundered through gratis in contracts.
The name of it's boss became synonymous with
all that was bad in government
Today it stands redeemed 1t adopted the city
manager system. In year the people have been
saved millions of dollars in taxes. Once again, in
stead of hopeless and respondent attitude toward
public affairs it's citizens take intense and lively
interest.
The attention of the city is now turned to i'm
provements and growth, not upon trickery and plum
der Instead Of watching its officials to prevent
them from taking too much, the citizens try
to help them to accomplish something worth while
and to suggest constructive plans for the city.
BY driving partisanship out Of city politics, the
political parties have profted by becoming cleaner
and stronger They now represent their national
principles instead of small groups who intent on
using power for plumber and privilege.
The story of Cincinnati is the story of every city
which has taken party politics out of its city gov
eminent.
The people of this city will have chance on
June Fl to do what Cincinnati has done.
On that date the people will vote the ques
ton Of changing the present system which has pro-
duced little but evil for the city manager system,
which works.

Peril Alarming

The thought that man can be IN
sane enough to commit such crimes.
and yet not insane enough for any
one to suspect it, is the appalling
feature of this outrage.
1t leaves us practically without
hope of prevention. Science con-
tinues to tell us more and more
about diseases of the mind, but what
it fails to tell us is how to recognize
them beforehand.
Crime after crime is explained and
excused on the ground Of insanity,
but thus far we have made little
progress in detecting those peculiar
types of insanity which led to most
of the crimes. .s
1t is a staggering thought that a
quiet little community like that of
Bath, Mich, can live with a neigh
Dor who is planning its destruction,
without sending the least cause for
alarm.
How are communities and individ-
uals 70 guard themselves against
such peril?

The Hour for Neighbors
This is the hour for neighbors.

34 This is the hour for neghDors
The sympathy for those who suffered loss In
the tornado should be promptly converted into terms
of active aid for any who may be in need
There is thankfulness, we'll as surprise, that
the loss of life not greater. The havoc wrought
by the winds was such as to make miraculous the
escape Of the hundreds Of men, women and chill
dren in the devastated district.
There is nothing to be done in the way of pre-
venting occurrences "The winds bloweth where
they listeth" is scientific we'll as poetic. Man
can do nothing, apparently, when anger sweeps out
Of the skies.
This Nation was founded on a spirit Of neighbor
1iness 1t was built by men and women who had
spirit of friendship for each other 1t real history
is written in the unrecoxded acts of kindness and
aid in hours Of trouble.
Those who have felt loss need not shrink from
the thought that to receive help in such crisis
makes them objects Of charity.
In earlier days, when winds wiped out barns
or houses, there would be rallying of neighbors
to the stricken family, probably barn raising or
house raising, and sympathetic friends would aid
in the restoration of the house or barn. That was
the act of neighbors
That same spirit should now be translated into
a city wide movement to help those whose homes
have been wrecked or destroyed into replacing
them or restoring them
Many of those whose homes have gone may
need just such aid as their grandathers gave when
civilization rural, not citifed.
Some practical method Of reviving the old days
of the barn raising" should be worked out,
ment that will aid those who need the help Of
heighbors to receive that aid movement that will
give every one who wishes a chance to again be
neghborly.
Those merchants who have so promptly offered
to aid have taken the lead. They have sensed the
situation 1t is their expression of this mperishable
sentiment.
There is more good will in the world than we
suspect.
# Let's give it chance to operate.

A Billion Dollar Tip to the Allies

To World War allies who money:
If you really would like to get out of paying your
war debts to the United States, have them ma
terialy ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS very respectfully sug-
gest change Of tone.
Don't try to make it appear that we swindled
You see, the $12000,00000O you owe us repre-
sents money everyday American citizens scraped
gether to lend you to carry which neither
they nor their Government, had any hand in bring
ing on.
Through no fault of theirs you became involved
in Your very existence in the balance
And you dead broke. You had to have money
and supplies surrender to the Kaiser. We let
you have both and, be it said in favor at time
when it obvious that only miracle could save
you.
In short the American people not only made
real sacrifices and very real risks in lending
yeu that money, but they did so imbued by the
highest ideals and out Of the very fullness of their
hearts!
Thus today, they keenly resent the constantly
recurring insinuations, not to say direct charges
that we took advantage Of you and cheated you
and that because of these things, you, our former
allies, owe us nothing but contempt.
Oh, yes we had conscienceless profteers
In this country just as you had in yours No doubt
as you say, big profits were made on the materials
they sold you But your agents did the pur-
chasing and approved of every dollars worth of
stuff bought.
Blame your agents, IL you like, and our prof.
siteers, but don't keep saying disobging things of
the American people who came to your rescue in
your hour of need.
Francois Marshall, former premier and finance
minister of France, now prominent Paris banker.
has come out with another book of why the allies
should not pay the United States In it's arraign-
ment Of our country it is typical of new and fast
growing European library which already would lack
room on fve-yard, not to mention a fve.foot book
shelf
M Marshars Sthesis is Lets Arbitrate the
Debts He would submit the question to a Franco
American board, the League of Nations World Court
or the Vatican. And his is the usual argument:
THE money France borrowed was spent in this
country where unconscionable profits were extorted
The whole thing being bit shady, why should
France pay"
We submit the allies are on the wrong track
Ihere is not fairer minded individual in the world
than the American and he's so sentimental he'd
give the shirt off mis- back But you're tacklng the
wrong person if you try to get 1t by demands abuse
or threats to take it.

very much in their light if they think thew can

Smith Worries DryS

The Anti-Saloon League is OBJ
viously worried over Governor
Smiths campaign for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination. Its
chief cource of worry appears to be
in the South. where many leaders
are reported to be taking more
favorable attitude toward his candi-
dacy, not because they have changed
their minds with regard to prohibit
ton, but because they want the
Democratic party to win regardless
of who is nominated, and feel that he
offers the best hope.
Though supposed to be nonpar-
tisan, the Anti-Saloon League never
has been, and never will be.
Since it's organization, 1t has in
jected itself into every campaign and
every party convention where it
could gain a foothold. .
Believing that President Coolidge
will be renominated and that he will
come out uneqtivocally for enforce
ment of all prohibition laws, the
Anti-Saloon League is chiefly inter
ested in the Democratic party, par
ticularly in preventing the nomina-
ton of Governor Smith.
The loss of William G. McAdoo has
left 1t without a champion irA the
Democratic campaign, and its pres
ent concern is to find some one who
can and viii take his place.

Paving the Doctor

4 In this day of tonss and adenoids, paying the
doctor has become one of the greatest problems in
the life Of the average salaried man.
The American Medical Association has recog-
nzed the burden that the wage-earner has to bear
and its president, DR.. Jabez North Jackson of Kan
sas City, has just issued appeal for endowment
of hospitals for what he calls the great middle class
Doctors have three kinds of enthusiastically,
very rich and those who pay their fees on the in
stallment plan
The charity patients receive medical attention
Free it being considered humanitarian for the nedi-
cal men to volunteer their services to public and
charity institutions
The wealthy clients pay fees in keeping with
their incomes, thus making up to the physician
for the time and expense Of caring for his free pa
tients.
Those who pay on the instalment plan are the
wage earners, too proud to accept free medical at
tention, who go into debt and pinch themselves to
meet the doctors bills as well the bills of the
hospitals and the
Hospital fees have become so great that only
rich man can afford to pay them. The poor man Is
protected because philanthropiss have endowed in
situations to provide him with the proper care and
attention during illness.
Only the saaried wage Garner has been neglect
ed and he must go to the rich mans hospital, pay
the rich mans rates and saddle himself with debt
In order to get relief.
Not only this whenever he pays taxes he is
paying for the medical upkeep of the poor, for
part of this money is used in keeping up hospitals
clinics and other public health institutions
Whether you call him wage Garner, or a mid
die man, he does need help and we are glad to see
that the American Medical Association is starting
movement for those who aren't rich or poor enough
to afford to get sick.

Madame Sophie Tucker ought TO
know, because she is just back from
Paris.
In song. Sophie tells you that when
the French go down the street and
say "this for you and this for me-
that fifty million Frenchmen can't
be wrong"
And also she declares that in viva
la France you will find much ro-
nance and you will find policemen
with embroidery on their pants" and
that fifty million Frenchmen can't
be wrong"
Am trying to tell YOU about the
first record that I have ever discov-
cred Sophie Tucker making. The
number is Fifty Million Frenchmen
Can't Be Wrong" and it is on the
Okeh. -.
1t is this jaunty burlesque stuff
done in her best shouting manner
that I like her best. At times on
the stage she attempts to become a
sort of "sobsister Ted Lewis" but
It is nifty travesty that she exce,s.
Her musical background for this
number is furnished by Milf Mole's
Molers with Ted Shapiro at the
piano. Sophie's voice records like a
wind storm, meaning that her voice
takes to the record like a duck to
water.
Fifty Million Frenchmen' is a
nifty which will give you a great
laugh. 1t has a sort of military
swing to it which has fox trot ten
denotes or a trot complex.
On the other side, Sophie becomes
emotionally blue and sings zone
Sweet Letter From Home"
Another Riot
Columbia has turned out the fun
niest talking record with a piano
background that l have ever heard.
They were wise in securing Moran
and Mack, two blackface comics, for
this knockout record. 3

Problem Too Big

The feelings of all good citizens
regarding the Mississippi flood are
much alike. The disaster is gen.
orally recognized as national. and
the prevention of it as a national
problem. AS Roosevelt points out,
the task Of controlling the gigantic
water system is beyond the power of
the States affected, the communities
and private institutions.
We are not only confronted with a
great misfortune that demands i'm
mediate relief. but with a menace to
prosperity which cannot be checked.
This country cannot ignore the
prospect of having 100000 people
made homeless and a rich area
larger than the State of Maine desc
lated every few years, yet that is the
unacceptable consequence of neglect
ing flood control.

The pointer for today is:
If POSSIBLE LEAD tow ARD
TENACES.
Yesterdays Hand

The bidding should be: South one
No Trump. which would obtain the
contract. The play to the first trick
should be: West, six of Diamonds
North Dummy, Ace Of Diamonds
East, Three of Diamonds; South
CLOSED Hand, Queen OF Diamonds.
The point to be noted is the play
Of the Ace Of Diamonds from Dunn.
my. 1t is essential TO put Dummy =
the lead as frequently as possib34
during the play of this hand so an
to lead toward the double tenaces In
the Closed Hand. While the play of
the Ace of Diamonds is from Dummy
on trick makes the Queen falling
on it from Closed Hand seem a sacri.
flee, it really is not so as Declarer
takes three Diamond tricks in any
event; and it is better to win the
first Diamond trick in Dummy
rather than in Closed Hand. To win
first in Closed Hand and then con.
tinue Diamonds so that Dummy can
win, would help to establish the ad-
versaries' suit and would work badly
If the finesse went wrong.
Today's Problem
In the following deal, look at the
hand Of each player and determine
what you think he should bid in his
turn; in that way you will decide
what the final contract should be.
Then decide what four cards should
be played on the first trick and fill
in pencil on the enswer slip given
below.

Roosevelt Wants Meet

Franklin d. Roosevelt urges
President Coolidge to call a confer
ence Of congressional leaders with
a view to bringing about a special
session of Congress to consider the
problem of Mississippi flood control.
II note" he says, that many
people, irrespective Of party. are
urging the immediate calling of
Congress to meet the terrible disaster
in the Mississippi valley. 1t seems
to me the duty of all good citizens
to make plain their feeling on this
matter.
