Perjury, Like Circumstan-
tiaI Evidence, Can Con-
vict the Innocent,
BY Nj. e. Tracy

1t is common enough to hear of
men wrongfully convicted through
circumstantial evidence. AS mat
ter of record. quite as many have
been wrongfully convicted through
perjury.
The case of Conley Dabney is one
in point
He was convicted of killing Mary
Vickery and sentenced to the Ken
lucky State reformatory for life.
Mary had been seen riding in his
taxi the night she disappeared. Some
what later a woman;s skeleton was
found in an abandoned mine shaft
and was identified as that of Mary
by her father.
What clinched the case, however,
and made a verdict of guilty newt
able. was the testimony of Marie
Jackson, who swore that she saw
Dabney strike the fatal blow and
drag Mary Vivkery's body to the hid
ing place.
Now Mary comes back to proclaim
that she was never dead at all, much
less murdered. And Dabney says
Marie Jackson lied his life away be-
cause he wouldn't leave his wife and
run away with her.

HE DOESN'T ENTIRELY AGREE
WITH MRS. GAIT
BY N. d. Cochran :

There is nothing surprising in the prediction of
Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait that women soon will be
wearing trousers. The natural folow-up would be
that men soon will be wearing skirts. 1t is merely
another indication that evolution is still evoluting
The tendency of the times appears to be for some
to become more masculine and some men to
become more feminine
1t won't be SO bad if, when female pants and male
skirts into style, the movement were confined to
the newcomer and the shenen, for dress then will
be informative. In Japan you can distinguish the
single, married and other women by the way they
wear their hair.
Mrs Gait calls attention to the fact that trousers
were feminine garment, while skirts were masculine
That Is true in China and the Chinese is the old
civilization earth, going way back Of the Greek
and Roman. So the prospective change has historic
background
But if the change is made and all
pants and all men wear skirts, there won't be much
pants have been an emblem of authority. Often you
heard the remark that in this that family the
wife the pants although in fact she really wore
skirts.
Women wearing the fgurative pants of authority
in the home is that it is something taken
for granted. So she might well put them on when
she goes downtown. But would like to see some
discrimination and have the feminine wear at
least the vestige of skirt for then when timid
male sees real hewoman coming along in pants he'll
know enough pick up his skirts and
Evidently present styles invented by man
being put in skirts that she couldn't run too
fast when the pursuing male took after her; and he
got rid of skirts and pants he could the more
easily overtake his prey.
Mrs Gait, however, has the wrong slant the
thing. She says the present trend of fashion is a
distraction in the intellectual advance of She
might well carry sandwich board bearing the
advertisement, See my legs! as to wear champagne
colored stockings" That's where Carrie is wrong
1t is the matter of pursuit. Skirts have not been
getting shorter for purposes of advertising publicity
In this industrial and unitarian age it became an
economic and matrimonial necessity. Men have been
gradually becoming feminine and timid women
have been becoming holder and more pursuitful The
shorter her skirts the faster she pursue and
to make the timd male easier prey his legs now
to be tangled up in skirts. We must remember that
control fashions and it will be well to ponder
the fact that she has purpose and means business
when she puts pants.

Why?

If it is at all right for Henry Ford
to make a billion by manufacturing
flivvers, why isn't it all right for
Aaron Sapiro to make a million or
cne-tenth of one per cent of that
amount, by organizing cooperative
farm movements?
The question has little bearing on
the Ford-Sapiro libel suit, now being
tried at Detroit, but it touches that
sense of value which is all important
to common justice. IL not to the kind
dished out in court.
Mr.. Sapiro says that he didn't
really make the million, though he
received it, as he had to divide with
assistants and pay Office expenses
But suppose we leave that out of
the picture, what then?
The man worked for fifteen years
on a great perplexing problem. He
devised the plan for farm market
ing organization, which, no matter
how poorly 1t may have worked in
some cases, has proved all right in
others. He developed something like
100 such organizations all told. At
one time he was handling the legal
affairs of no less than sixty with a
total membership of $4,000.
What is the proper recompense for
such services over such a period?
What would the average corpora
ton lawyer receive?

Hard to Beat

Senator Reed did excellent work
in bringing to light the slush fund.
He would have done more had a Re-
publican controlled Senate not in
terfered.
As it is, his efforts may be
handicapped for lack of funds.
The sergeant-at-arms of the Senate
has just refused to go to Penn
sylvania for some ballots that are
wanted in connection with the VIII
son-Vare contest, because he was
afraid that he wouldn't be paid.
Senator Reed has given both
written and verbal instructions. In
addition, members of the committee
had agreed to advance the necessary
1000 The sergeant-at-arms how
ever, preferred to wait for legal adj
vice.
He wanted to consult lawyers,
he said, before proceeding on such
venture.
In this dilemma, the Reed COM
nittee hired a lawyer of its own, not
to counsel the sergeant-at-arms, but
to do his work, go to Pennsylvania,
get the ballots and bring them to
Washington.
The Republicans are trying to
hush the primary investigation. They
have had all they want of it. Reed
is a hard man to beat, however,
and when they dig a pit for him,
they are more than likely to fall into
it themselves.

HOW THE WORLDS HOPE OF
DISARMAMENT WAS KILLED

Today the League CT Nations disarmament par
ley tegins at Geneva But says the Paris Temps,
the United states has wrecked it before it starts.
President Coolidge. the French paper charges,
made its failure dou ly sure first by calling his own
naval limitation conference.-the only thing he cares
abou--then refusing to accept basis for discus
sion the preliminary studies prepared for the parey
beginning today.
Therefore, the Temps concludes, he has para
lyzed all effort to bring about universal disarma-
ment."
True, the effort ito bring about universal dis
armament" has been paralyzed but the blow that did
it was struck years ago. not just now. hand
full of Washington politicians paralyzed it back in
1919 and 1920.
Whether merely shortsghted or blindly partisan
it must be left for history to say. But whichever
it was their blindness destroyed the worlds faith in
mans most encouraging vision since the sinking
disciples saved 1900 years ago by the Man of
Galiee.
At the end of the great sort Of religious
frenzy took hold of mankind and peoples everywhere
prayed for peace they had prayed before.
Fresh up out of the valley of the shadow they stood
weak and eager, their upfted asking that they
and theirs be spared the like again.
At this juncture our American President ap-
peared among them with program for world peace
and disarmament. Joyfully the inhabitants of all
nations rallied about him suffering humanity will
about savior. The moment right for civiliza-
tion to take the greatest step in its hstorya step
which would go a long way toward Kidding it of
war.
But the step was never taken. Not in Europe
nor in Asia but here in America rose up small
band of people to doubt upon the idea. And so
misrepresented, so ridiculed and jeered at and
scoed at it that the poor, dazed, peace famshed
peoples did not know which way to turn or whom
to believe.
Bitter and resentful, they sullenly lapsed hack
into their old ways of fear and hate and suspicion.
The great moment had passed not to- return,
most likely, until the earth has it's bath in blood.
Today, like a disillusioned lover, the world
seems trying to forget its disappointment. And it
is forgetting The muck and mud the stencil of
the trenches, the hideous, blackened corpses lying
unbured among the barbed wire, and all the other
horrors of war; but dmly remembered. Instead
it is talking of its glories-as if there
we're such thing!
President Coolidge was right when he said If
the world wants disarmament it must first have
moral disarmament. The world was morally dis
armed back in 1920 but tragicaly enough we lacked
the craftsmanship In this country at that time to
give the necessary backing to the one American who
this most clearly.

TO his home in Rome. The clever
Don Juan was not a bit confused
when three of the fair ones arrived
at the same time. He had a line Of
convincing applesauce for all OF
them. And did they fall for it?
They certainly did.
1t seems to me that you must con-
slider Don Juan" a smart comedy
instead of a tragedy of the heart.
Here you see the best OF the heart
breakers at work actually carrying
on his work Don Juan loved for
the purpose of carrying out the in
struction of his dead father. But
one day he met the lovely and good
Adriana Bella Varnese. played by
Mary Astor in the Warner Bros
production of don Juan" He saved
her noble father from being poisoned
by the Borgia, the all powerful lot in
Rome in that early day.
For his award, Don Juan forced
his way into Adriana's bed chamber,
but discovered that he had at last
encountered one woman who would
not be tempted by his love making.
Don Juan then begs her to teach
him to be a real man. He was handi-
capped in his lessons because the
jealous and powerful Lucretia Bor-
gia, played by Estelle Taylor dn a
most magnificent Characterization.
was determined to make Don Juan
her own property.
Then don Juan" as a movie be-
comes melodrama in the full sense of
the word You will be thrilled when
Don Juan fights to the death the
husband of he pretty Adriana. Here
is as thrilling a fight scene as has
ever been. placed upon the screen.
Barrymore is magnificent at all
time, but in the duel scene he be-
comes a regular Douglas Fairbanks
when it comes to jumping, fighting
and jumping some more. OF course,
Adriana never gave her heart to her
husband because it was a plot of the
Borgia and she had to save her father
from death.
After many fights and a horror
chamber scene, Don Juan rescues
the beautiful Adriana and together
on the same horse they ride to Spain
and happiness.
Don Juan" is romantic fun, pro-
duced in most elaborate style. 1t is
both clever and wise in many pas
sages. Here is some nifty fun as
well as good melodrama.
John Barrymore brings as much
artistry of characterization to the
two roles that he plays in Don
Juan" as he does on the legitimate
stage. Here is as fine a dashing and
romantic Characteristic as you will
ever want to see. You probably will
agree with me that in Don Juan"
you have Barrymore at his very best.
Never have 1 seen so many beauti-
full women in one movie. Mary Astor
is just too lovely for words. Estelle
Taylor makes Lucretia Borgia a
lovely but fierce female demon. Here
is great work.
Some and probably many will say
that here is the perfect romance. 1t
will hold your interest from the very
beginning when you see Barrymore
as the father of Don Juan and then
as Don himself grown to manhood.
From a scenic standpoint, Don
Juan" is a symphony of color and
beauty. In spite of the rain yester-

CHESTER CONKLN
STEALS" A PICTURE

With a comic serious regard for
personal purity, Chester Conklin has
succeeded in making one of the fin
est farces we have ever seen out of
"A Kiss in a Taxi" with Bebe Dan
iels, at the Apollo this week.
So completely does Conklin take
this picture away from Bebe that
it seems as If the brilliant Miss Dan
iels was one of the supporting cast
fer Conklins play of humor.
As is usual with pictures lately,
the scene Of action is laid in Paris.

particular day. This always ended
in a scrap. and as for ourselves. left
no impression whatever.
Chester Conklin is cast as the sec
rotary Of the Society of Arts, and
he makes it his boast that his only
weakness is wine. and he will not
drink even his weakness except at
home, for fear that women might
take advantage of him on the
streets. And when he gets into the
wine cellar his weakness gets full
play.
Conklin doesn't get into the pic
ture until late. but he makes every
foot of film count. His thrilling Jag
is the funniest stage drunk we have
ever seen. It should be immortalized,
it is so correct in all the details.

Fall of Shanghai

When Shanghai falls, will it be a
victory for Bolshevism, as some be-
lieve, or merely change of rule?
Russia has certainly profited by
the stupidity of western nations.
For years South China begged Lon
don. Paris and Washington for rec
cgnition, but only to be turned down.
She accepted aid and advice from
Russia when no one else was left.
Much has been made by the presence
of Borodin and other Bolshevist lead
ers among the Cantonese. They
were there to help the Russian cause,
of course, but how much Roadway
have they made?
South China has been glad to buy
arms from them, but has she ac-
cepted their political ideals.
