interest of better projection, /
hope to heaven the device is a
complete success when tried out

When William Faversham
opens here soon in his new play
"Her Friend, the King" you
may admire his erect figure and
the neat way his clothes fit him.
Part of the secret is he wears
corsets-and has for many
years.
George s. Kaufman, dramatic
editor of the New York Times,
who brings his new play June
Moon" to town next week, is
about the only active journalist
in the big city who has made a
success of playwriting. Bide
Dudley, of the New York World,
has had several flops; Willard
Keefe, of the New York Tele-
gram, failed last season. So
did Russell Grouse. The late
Alan Dale never could turn out
a hit. St. John Ervine, last
seasons London guest critic of
the World, has had better luck,
notably with "John Ferguson"
and now with new one.
Alexander Woollcott is making
his first try with a play which
Arthur Hopkins is getting ready
to produce and Louis Weitzen-
korn, former Sunday editor of
the World and at present editor
of McFadden's Graphic, enters
the list of aspiring dramatists.
The Weitzenkorn play is called
First Mortgage" and is sche-
duled for an out-of-town opening
within a fortnight.
At least a half a dozen ambi-
tious musicians are bidding for
the job of leading Keith's Thea
ter orchestra when the re-
decorated house opens it's doors
with pictures. One unscrupu-
lous fellow is boosting himself
by branding all his rivals as
rotten" and accordingly has
already been counted out of the
race.
The position of leader in the
theater orchestra is jealously
coveted. In a certain temple
of the motion picture in our
village the baton wielder dis
covered that the chap who was
tunneling to reach the conductors
desk was his own relative and
working in his orchestra. So he
gave him the air and all is now
peace.

management Of 1.-THE Front

words, the actors were told to
substitute the Philadelphia ver-
sion. This deodorized drama
merely eliminates the profanity
of the tag line which ends the
play and deletes a sentence or
two not intended for the parlor.
Fortunately the cast had re-
hearsed "The Front Page" for
the Philadelphia opening which
was cancelled, so the official
censoring caused little inconveni-
ence.
I Judge that New York did
not like "The Crooks Conven-
tion" much better than Wash
ington did, after reading the
first night notices. This is the
Arthur Somers Roche play which
opened at the Belasco last Oc-
tober and folded up after a

sisted in rehearsing with the

covered that Havelock Ellis, sex

the right to that title by using
it on one of his profound tones.
However the difficulty was set
tied by having Adolph Zukor
sign a fat check for the publish

Still if you go to Brentano's

NOLUMNISTS often have to con-

of pointing with pride. I wish to
call attention to the fact that in a
recent piece the statement was
made that America has become a
country in which governmental
power and prestige is wholly
dwarfed by the power Of great
fnanciers.
1t hardly can be said that the
stock market is a private enterprise
in which Washington has no con-

tried to stem a Wall street panic
by making public announcement of
the fact that in his opinion the
country was sound.
And when the President spoke
stocks wavered for a few hours and
then proceeded to drop 20 or 80
points, But when John D. Rookie
feller spoke for himself and his son
that was something else again.
The oil king did no more than say
that he and John D. Jr. were buy

In other words, the economic fate

within the grip of few men of

The Press and the Prosecutor

The jailing of three washington Times reporters
for refusing to act prosecuting witnesses IN con-
necon with their newspapers expose of booteggerS
raises the question of the reporters relationship TO
the public.
1t is a direct relationship. Nothing should stand
between the reporter and the public. The reporters
function, while not defined by law, definitely Is
public one and is so recognized by the public
Any time a grand jury or prosecutor seeks TO
make out of reporter a stool-pigeon or prose-
cutting witness he thereby steps between the reporter
and the public and the reporters influence is ended.
definite function of the press is to reveal condl-

An equally definite function of prosecutor or a

The Christmas Seals

Within a short time the annual sale of Christmas
seals by the National tuberculosis Association will

manage
The seals sell for a penny each; yet they provide
the sole support of the associations 1,40O affiliated
organizations all parts of the United States in their
fight against tuberculosis.
There isn't any reason why We should make an
extended plea for the support of this work. The
prevalence of tuberculosis is such major problem,
and the work done by these organizations is so vau-
able to the entire country that the seals ought to sell
themselves.
This editorial is just a reminder-when you get
ready to make up your Christmas packages, lay in a
good supply of these seals.

Vir0inia's Election

John Garland Pollard, a Democrat, has been elected
Governor of Virginia.
His victory is nationally significant, because it is
the first indication of the trend of political sent1-
ment in the south since the national elections a
year ago. when five traditionally Democratic states
went Republican.
Dr. William Moseey Brown Polard's Republican
opponent was supported not only by his own aroused
and hopeful party but by Democrats opposed to the
Smith -Raskob influence.
The Republicans hoped to place Virginia perma-
nently in the Republican column. The anti-Smith
Democrats hoped to demonstrate to the Democratic
party that Virginia and perhaps other states would
be permanently lost unless the Raskob influence were
removed.
The vote also might be interpreted as rebuke

AkeIey

TINE Belgian government recog-
Il nized the merit of Akeley's pro-
posal and the Pare National Albert
was established. In November, 1925,
Akeley returned to the newly Gre
ated park, accompanied by his wife
and DR.. j. M. Derscheid, the Bel
g:an zoologist.
Their visit was to survey the new
park and make recommendations
for the establishment of a station
from which scientific researches
could be carried on. 1t was during
this expedition that Akeley died and
he was buried in the heart Of the
gorilla sanctuary which he, the
worlds chief authority upon the
subject of the gorilla, had planned.
Mrs. Akeley and DR.. Derscheld
reported the findings Of the expedi-
ton to King Albert in 1928 and in
June, 1923, the king issued a decree
Increasing the size of the park to
100000 acres and laying down plans
for it's administration.
The decree prohibits, under severe
penalties, the killing or capture of
any wild animal within the park.
This applies to animals considered
dangerous as we'll as others.
The decree also prohibits the de-
struction of trees or wild plants or
any changes in the aspect of the
landscape.
Belgian colonial officers will police
the park and no one will be allowed
to enter it without special permit.

Questions and AnS0v7~S

What is the difference between
winter and spring wheat? Which
0f them makes the largest crop in
The United States?
Winter wheat is sown in the fall,
remains in the ground all winter and
s harvested in the summer. The
grain is generally poor in gluten,
but rich in starch and is used largely
for pastry flour. Spring wheat is
sown in the spring and is harvested
in the summer, about the same time
as the winter wheat. Standard f1ourS
are mixture of spring and winter
wheat. The United States produces
more winter than spring wheat.
When was Conway castle in Wales
built?
Situated on a rock rising above
the town Of Conway and the river,
1t is one of the most beautiful ruins
in Wales. It was one Of six castles

Touch of Irony
III OCKEFELLER's kindly couns

I'd OCKEFELLER'S kindly counsel
IN to the masses that now there
had come a safe time to buy had in
it just a touch of irony. A man who
has lost both legs may not precisely
welcome the birthday gift of a BIZ
cycle. John D. forgot one important
point when he advised his fellow
citizens to purchase sound Securi-
ties. He forgot to say with what.
1t seems to me that we worship a
false god and that modern indus
trial efficiency is highly overrated.
1 think that the name of this false
god is Competition.
Henry Ford is a master mind and
like other master minds he has re-
duced the processes of production
to an exact science. But the matter
of distribution is still a free-for-a all
with no guarantee whatever against
calms and hurricanes.
The farmer who grows bumper
crop of wheat is apt to find that by
his very skill and industry he has
Impoverished himself. Unless food
stuffs are burned in the public
square the poor fellow has bank
rupted himself by success.
And in the same way failure lies
ahead of the man who finds 700
much oil or makes too many autos
or mines an excess amount of cop
per.
Surely our economic system must
stand somewhat this side of perfec-
ton if it involves more or less
regular cycle of gluts and stomach
aches.
The argument against any form
of government ownership appears
to be that such management is in
efficient. This seems a knockdown
blow to all who foresee at some fu-
ture time the emergence of the su-
per state.

Youth Grows Too Fast

THE idea of preventing crime
Il through the right kind Of ed
ucation for young folks, becomes
irhpotent without the right kind of
example on the part of their elders,
and that example depends more
definitely on an attitude toward
things in general than on lip music
with regard to things in particular.
n
The italian minister of justice,
Alfredo Rocco, says that precocity
has much to do with the de-
linquency of modern youth. The
thought is worth considering.
Present day life thrusts itself on
young people.
They can not help growing wise
in a material sense.
We profess to wonder why they
should see so much, yet how can
they help it, with the lights turned
on?
The sophistication of youth, as we
fippantly describe it, calls for more
careful deliberation and patience on
the part of older people.
Never in human history did
parents, teachers, and persons of
prominence face a greater re-
sponsibility, because the same
systematized publicity that enables
youth to see shows every detail of
their conduct in bold relief.
Children not only are watching
us grown-ups as never before, but
are taking far less for granted.
