The Indianapolis Times Golden Rule
Safety Club movie, Forward Pass"
is going over this week at the Lyric.
This entirely Indianapolis-made
movie, showing child life in this
city, and urging greater safety on
the streets for children, is getting
wonderful reception.
Hundreds of indianapolis parents
are seeing their children take part
in this movie. About thirty-f1ve
school children took leading roles
after making tests for the parts in
the ballroom Of the Lyric.
Hundreds of children took part
in the scenes of the football game
between the Bearcats and the Pan
theirs at the ball park. The game
was so up-to-date that it was broad
cast in make believe.
Many mothers took pride in sew

sons.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
KANSAS WET AS
EVER, CHARGES
NOTED WRITER
Liquor Laws Are FIouted
by Best People, Says
Jay House.

P,B Times Special
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-"Liquor
still flows in Topeka. Prohibition
never has been enforced in Kansas.
1t isn't enforced there now"
These are the salient charges
made by Jay E. House, twice mayor
of Topeka, now New York and
Philadelphia newspaper columnist,
in the magazine article whose sup
preston was urged recently by Gov
ernor Clyde M. Reed of Kansas in a
telegram to the editor of The North
American Review. The article APP
peared today in the November issue
of that monthly together with an
editorial note explaining that Gov
ernor Reed has been invited to write
for the magazine his own views of
the dry law enforcement situation in
his state.
Liquor in Homes
Mr.. House recently caused an Off
cial inquiry and ensuing controversy
when he stated publicly, after a trip
to Kansas, that he had been offered
liquols in the majority of homes he
visited while in Topeka.
Il take time here to explode the
great Kansas myth" he says in The
North American Review article.
"The myth is the one to the effect
that prohibitory laws are enforced
in Kansas. 1t has ben reiterated
and retold SO often that it has come
to have a general acceptance, par
ticularly in the urban sections of
the country. Prohibition never has
been enforced in Kansas. 1t isn't
enforced now. Drinking is as wide
spread and general there as it is
throughout the rest of the country"
Relates Experiences
The greater part of Mr.. Houses
article is devoted to his own expert
ence III attempting to enforce pro-
hibition as mayor of Topeka from
1915 to 1919 under the Kansas state
dry laws Although not a believer
in the efficacy of prohibitory laws,
he declares that he "set up what
was, perhaps, the most logged and
persistent local attempt to enforce
prohibition ever made in this coun-
try" removing obstructionists police

BRAND MAY BE
PREMIER AGAIN,
DESPITE DEFEAT
frances Political Wizard
Expected to Be Given
Leadership.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Siah Correspondent

PARIS. Oct. 23.-Although once
more ousted from the premiership.
Aristide BRAND. political wizard of
France, appeared today to be the
only man capable Of forming a gov
eminent that could conciliate the
conflicting party elements. which
brought about the fall of his
cabinet Tuesday.
Others will be invited to take the
helm, particularly those critics of
BRAND who caused his fail. But
not one Of these leaders definitely
is prepared to assume the re-
sponsibility of organizing a cabinet
that might function for any length
of time.
The present crisis is expected to
last from eight to ten days, but
when the bitterness of battle will
have subsidized. BRAND, according to
all present indications, again will be
offered the premiership.
President CASTOR Doumergue be-
gan conferences today with party
leaders in the hope of arriving at
speedy solution of the cabinet crisis.
Within a hour after the fall of the
government. Domergue had drafted
list of politically prominent per-
sons with whom he could consult
on the organization of new min
istry.
Edouard Daladier, president of the
radicals, who have the largest single
bloc in parliament, will be invited
TO form cabinet, but with the
radical congress at Rheims sched-
uled to begin Thursday, Daladier
almost is certain TO refuse.
Leaders who helped overthrow
BRAND in Tuesdays battle in the
chamber, the Centrist, Louis Marin,
and the Radical Socialist. Jean
Montigny, will be summoned to the
Elysee to discuss the situation with
Doumergue. Neither of these men
is expected to offer a solution.
If BRAND, who remains temporar-
iic at the head of the government
until The new cabinet is formed,
again accepts the premiership, he
undoubtedly will admit into his new
cabinet more members of the Radi-
cal and Radical-Socialist parties.

SCHEME

The most drastic campaign
against gambling activities
launched in the District in re-
cent years has been begun by
District Attorney Leo A. Ro-
yer, it was disclosed today
with the addressing of let
tiers to owners of premises
where gaming is permitted,
threatening them with prose-
cution as responsible parties.
Preparations for the campaign
began several months ago when
Rover called on the police depart.

list of premises used In violation
Of policy laws of the District.

Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of
police.
Maj. Pratt ordered all precinct
commanders to, require minimum
cash collateral of 800 or $500
real estate bond to obtain release
in all such cases in the future in
stead of SIS or $50.
1t was explained that numerous
persons arrested in the policy game
cases in the past have forfeited
collateral rather than stand trial.
In some instances the same in
dividuals have sacrificed the small
cash deposit repeatedly.
Rover, points out that the gam
bling laws OF the District provide
that the owner or agent of the
premises may be prosecuted as a
principal offender instead of an
accessory and may be given the
same penalties on conviction that
| might be imposed on actual violat

the owner to communicate with
