Drama Hash t Improved,
Says Veteran Stage Hand

advanced to the position of a master
stage carpenter. II worked in a fac
tory all day and shifted scenery half
the night. 1t was hard work but it
was interesting. I've always loved
the stage. couldn't act, so pro-
vided the background"
Do you remember when Ben
Hur" was the last word in colossal
presentation, with twelve horses in
thrilling race on the old stage at
EngliSh's? Shilling remembers.
He helped "hang" the show and
declares that the bay horse in the
unit production at the Indiana thea
ter last week is one of the original
"Ben-Hur" horses with a thirty-year
stage career to its credit.
Those horses knew their cue as
well as any actor in the show" says
Shilling.
Lure of Stage Calls
1.-THE biggest thing Indianapolis
stage hands ever tackled was to
freeze a large cake of ice on the
stage for a skating scene in Fred
Stones "Jack-O-Lantern." We tore
up the stage after a Friday evening
performance. installed the ice plant
in the basement gave a Saturday
matinee of "Tiger Rose" on tenn
porary stage erected over the freez-
ing ice, and the skating scene ran
only six minutes!"
Shilling can quote at length from
many plays with which he was con-
nected. He knows the lines that
cued the backstage effects, and he
admits that the call of the foot
lights is stronger than the lure of
the ledger.
I'D like to be back among the
braces and lash lines. The stage
is like printers ink. If you once
get it into your blood, there's no
help for YOU"

HOOVER MAPS
DRIVE TO WIN
EASTERN AREA
Prosperity Will Be Main
Battle Cry to Offset
Wet Pull.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Herbert
Hoover and his campaign directors
had mapped out today an intensive
drive to win the East, which will
go ahead with increasing momen-
tum until Nov. 6.
Prosperity" will be its keynote.
This slogan will take the place of
the full dinner pail" campaign cry
of the Mckinley days. The pros
perity" appeal will be stressed heav-
lily, in an effort to Offset the pro-
hibitlon modification appeal of Al
fred E. Smith, which admittedly re-
ceives sympathetic ear in the East.
Republican Strategists realize the
strength of wet" sentiment. But
their platform and their candidate
are dry. So they will soft pedal"
the issue.
The Republican candidate will be
the central figure in the eastern
campaign, with his invasion of these
two strongholds in the next two
weeks for speeches in the arena at
Boston next Monday night, and his
Madison Square speech in New York
the following Monday night.
The campaign will open on a big
scale tonight, with the radio speech
of Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion from here over a national hook
up. He will deliver an address on
Republican Accomplishments
Mellon is expected to speak again
later. Another Republican big
gun" in the eastern campaign viii
be former Secretary of State Charles
Evans Hughes, who will make sew
eral addresses.
Toward the end of the campaign,
President Coolidge is expected to
enter the field, at the dramatic mo-
ment.

BIKE THEFTS
GROW TO HUGE
SCALE IN CITY
403 Cycles Stolen Here to
Date This Year; Ring
Is Suspected.
GREAT INCREASE NOTED
Scores of Machines Torn
Down, Rebuilt, Sold as
'Hot Cars
GREAT INCREASE NOTED

indianapolis has learned a lot
about "hot" cars and automobile
theft rings in the last month, to
the sorrow of several dozen OF its
residents.
But little is heard of "hot" bicy-
cles, although 403 bicycles have been
stolen here so far this year.
One hundred fiftyAseven stolen
bicycles have been recovered by po-
lice and claimed by their owners
and eighty stolen bicycles are stored
at police headquarters.
The increase in bicycle theftS Is
shown by the fact that during the
entire year of 1927 only lat bicycles
were recovered and claimed by the
owners.
Suspect Theft Ring
Although some policemen believe
an interstate bicycle theft ring is at
work here and in neighboring cities,
stealing bicycles by the truck load
and selling them in other cities,
police department officials believe
unorganized gangs of boys are re-
SponSible.
Youths to II steal most of the
wheels here, declared Major Lewis
johnson, although many Of them
are sold to older fences" Each
time a gang is rounded up twelve to
twenty machines are recovered, he
said.
The ''bike' theft business is a sort
of kindergarten crime and the more
serious business of auto thievery,
according to Johnson.
= The method of disposing of stolen
wheels also is similar to that used
in the auto theft game. Bicycles
are torn up and the parts from
many wheels reaSSembled to make a
hot" bicycle. Handlebars may come
from one bicycle, frame from an
other, sprocket from a third, tires
from a fourth, and so on.
Difficult to Identify
This is one of the difficulties
owners have in identifying wheels
recovered by police. And the owner
of a stolen bike gets only that part
of the recovered bicycle he can
identify. If only the saddle is from
his bicycle, that is all he gets.
Expert burglars are among the
users Of the stolen bicycles, accord
ing to police.
Many a clever burglar in recent
years has confessed when caught
that he used a stolen wheel for
transportation. A bicycle is a less
noticeable means of making a get
away" these days than an auto.
The bUrglar-cy can park his
"bike" in the alley in the rear of
his scene of operations with little
danger Of it getting the eye of
neighbors or police night riding
squads.
When his job is done, he can
speed away through the alleys with
out drawing much attention.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE
IN victorious Yankees, having
finished with their world series
and political amenities, made
plans today for a transforming
tour by which they may add to
the small fortunes they won by
playing in the world series.
The world series activities for
the Yankees ended with two vic
tories over the Cardinals of st.
Louis in New York and two more
in st. Louis.
The political activities ended
with a most colorful visit 10
Governor Alfred E. Smith at his
hotel headquarters Wednesday
night.
1t was a typical greeting be-
tween Smith and the most famous
of the Yankees, Babe Ruth. The
Governor was without collar and
tie when Ruth knocked at his
door.
'By gosh, you're the champion
Of them all" the Governor said,
grasping Ruth by the hand.
mo I amt, you are" the slugger
remarked.
The Governor invited Ruth in,
and following close after the Yam
kee hero were Col. Jacob Rupert,
owner of the victorious team;
Miller Higgins, the manager;
Benny Bengough, the catcher, and
several other players. They were
introduced to the members of the
Governors family while the
Democratic presidential candidate
put on his collar.
"By GOSH" the Governor paused
to remark, ri wish the kids were
hollering for me the way they
boiler for you. I'd be sure to be
elected"
Ruth came back with:
Everybody, young and old, is
hollering for you. and you will be. 4"
The Governor told the Babe
about a man in Altoona, Pa, who
had invoked the blue laws against
radio broadcasting about the Sun
day game.
I'D like to get a look at that
bird" Smith said. HE must be
a hot tamale for fair. Well, what
are you going to do now-take a
vacstion?"
Eyes, for one day." Ruth said.
"Then we're going transforming!
you know-one-night stands"
"Yes, I know" Smith said,
thinking about his present cam
paign tour. I'm going barnstorm-
ing myself, only instead of hitting
the ball I'll be hitting the candi-
date"
After the Governor had affixed
his tie, pictures were taken of the
group.
