The recent statements of vii
liam Allen White on the increased
welfare of citizens of this nation
are not without sound basis,
Mr.. White, recalling the old
Bryan, Roosevelt and Wilson days,
brings to mind the then constant
clamor for government that would
add to the we'll being of the
people. The popular theory then.
voiced by Bryan and taken up IN
turn by the two Presidents, was
that by improving the living con-
ditions and environment OF a
people you would also improve
the people themselves.
This improvement. so longed
for by ardent orators Of that era,
is now taking place. But, as Mr
White points out. the change is
really economic instead OF govern
mental. The improved living con-
ditions which are found in the
United States, to the amazement
of practically every European v1Sl.
tor to our shores, have come about
through the mass distribution OF
our industry'S products.
1t may be true that 30 per cent
of the nations wealth is owned
by a few. and the many own
only a small portion, but the fact
remains that our possessions are
the possessions of the many, Mr..
White says. The 80 per cent divi-

His views, which may easily be
misconstrued, are in large measure
right. The nations products are
absorbed by the public at large,
rich and poor, and do not go to
any restricted class in any large
degree.
While it is a debatable ques
ton whether the people-speak.
ing generally-have been i'm
proved. it is agreed by prominent
economists that by and large the
living standards and conditions
in the United States are higher
than ever before.
And doubtless life for many
thousands of Americans is easier
and happier because of less harsh
living conditions.
Estimates, of course, must al
ways be general and more or less
in the nature of SurmiSeS, rather
than authoritative statements.
Yet while we may have prohibi'
ton and gang warfare and un-
employment and other evils, a
panoramic view OF the nation
would show that fewer persons
are limited to the bare necessities
of life, and that more persons

PRUSSIA RULE
Hitler Aids Concentrate
Efforts in Germany.

By United Press
BERLIN, Dec. SHERMAN Fas-
cists, under leadership of Adolph
Hitler, have set political supremacy
in Prussia as the next objective in
their drive for control of the reich.
Prussia embraces two-thirds of
the German territory and the gov
eminent still is predominantly
Socialist. Just as the Socialists are
the largest of the parties represented
in the reichStag.
Otto Braun, regarded as one Of
the strongest leaders of the Socialist
party, is premier of Prussia and a
determined foe of the Fascists.
Within the last few days the
Hitlerites have concentrated their
efforts in the Prussian state, despite
the measures taken against them
by Braun.
They aided Alfred Hugerberg's
Nationalist party and the semi
military Steel Helmet League in
preparing a referendum for diSsolu-
ton of the Prussian diet and the
calling of new elections.
The plan requires the support of
100000 voters, Or one-f1fth of the
Prussian electorate, to achieve a
plebiscite on the question of disso-
luton.

necessary signatures could be OBJ

HOOVER LOOKS

Seriously Considering New

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. SO.-Pres-
ident Hoover seriously is considering
the proposal to place four to five
hundred million dollars in the
hands Of needy veterans, It was
learned today at the White House.
The President has called upon
Brigadier General Hines. ad-
ministrator of veterans affairs, and
Treasury Secretary Mellon TO fur

posed compromise as a new measure

The administration has been lined
up Solidly against the original

100000 veterans throughout the
country.
But loan compromise brought
forward by Senator Vandenberg
(Rep.. Mich) has met most of the
objections to the original scheme.
It will call for no additional out
lay Of government funds. It will not
necessitate an increase in taxes of
new bond issue.
1t would only divert money from
the treasury sinking fund to be
loaned to distressed veterans in
amounts approximately so per cent
of the total value Of their insurance

About 100000 veterans already

WICKERSHAM'S
DRY REPORT is
SET FOR JAN. 6
Prohibition Is Assured of
Becoming Live Issue
After Congress Recess.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Prohi-
bition is assured Of becoming a live
issue in congress soon after the re-
cess.
The long awaited report of the
Wickersham commission was prom
ised for Jan. 6, the day after con-
gress reconvenes, in word to Re-
publican leaders at the Capitol.
House vets planned a fight on
the additional 100000 for the
prohibition bureau which is to be
approved soon by the appropriations
committee.
Commission Is Meeting
The eleven members Of the
Wickersham commission resumed
their sessions here today, apparent
ly to put the finishing touches to
their report, but still noncommittal
as ever about their plans and with
out any public announcement about
the report.
There were strong indications the
commissions report would avoid any
controversial recommendations, such
as have been rumored for several
weeks, and would confne itself to
statement of its investigation,
perhaps with suggestions about
measures to improve enforcement
along lines recommended last ses-
sion.
This would meet approval from
drys, but would revive criticism
from vets. The whole prohibition
question is certain TO be opened for
debate by the commissions report.
Fight Doomed to Fail
The appropriations committee
plans to report to the house be-
tween Jan. 10 and 13 the joint JUS
tice, state, commerce and labor de-
partment appropriations bill which
contains the additional $4,000, 900
asked by Amos w. w. Woodcock,
prohibition director, to hire 500
more dry agents, among other
things.
The fight is doomed to fail. be-
cause of the strong dry majority,
but it promises to be a bitter one.
1t will represent the final move
of the vets at this session in a
campaign to keep their cause to
the forefront in anticipation Of in
creased strength in the new con-
gress.

LYRIC PRESENTS
TOM BROWN

Tom Brown and the Six Brown
Brothers top the bill at the Lyric
this week with an act that has long
been a favorite to theater fans.
Brown Is putting on great show.
I honestly can say I enjoyed his act
better this time than ever before.
I doubt whether any one can ap-
proach his way of Glowing about
on a saxcphone.
We have got to hand it to him for
his great showmanship and ability
to keep an act alive to the ex-
tent it is like good literature that
can be read and re-read. We never
tire seeing Brown and his act.
Mike Ames, formerly a college
boy, is among the best of the fe-
male impersonators that T have
seen. He has a way of wearing
feminine clothes that is right up to
snuff. Whitley, little white and
brown dog, is a remarkably we'll
trained dog. Whitley can pull off q
fake drunk better than some hui
mans that have seen. Ed Ford
presents Whitley. Sidney Page, as
sisted by two girls, puts on a comedy
act with some dancing that is very
pleasing entertainment. Barton and
Young, singing comedians, might be
funny to a lot Of people, but their
act appeared rather silly and not
much accomplished to me. A bar
act opened the bill.
The feature picture this week is
Part Time Wife," with Edmund
Lowe and Leila Hyams. Here is a
comedy on married life that is real

because of the presence of Tommy

marital troubles of married couple

Models Of All Inventions to
Be Put in RemodeIed Fine
Arts Building for Public
to See and Operate.
BnNEA Serrice

BIZ NEA Service
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-An elabo-
rate Industrial museum which will
contain working models Of almost
every kind of industrial and me-
chanical construction ever devised.
and which will permit the visitor to
step up and examine the exhibits to
his hearts content, is being assem-
bled in Chicago now in preparation
for the Worlds Fair in 1888,
1t will be known as the Museum
of Science and Industry, and is be-
ing made possible through a gift of
$4,000,O00 by Julius Rosenwald. The
great Fine Arts building in Jack
son park, a relic of the great fair
of 1893, is being remodeled to house
it. There will be more than nine
miles of exhibits with upward Of
$4,000 specimens.
In as many cases as possible the
exhibits will be lifesized Where
this is impossible, working MOD
els will be constructed. The i'm
portant thing, however, is that none
of them will be hidden in glass
case. The spectator will be free to
pull all the levers and push all the
buttons he sees.
Prepare Road History
AS far as possible, the sponsors
of the museum hope to show the
development of modern America by
means of successive models which
will trace the various steps in the
emergence of the things illustrated.
For example. one exhibit will
show how the modern paved street
has developed The visitor will first
walk along an ordinary jungle path,
such as the cavemen trod thousands
of years ago.
Then he will step out on an ex-
act reproduction Of one of the ia
nous old Roman roads. After that
he will go along one of the muddy,
bumpy roads of the middle ages.
full Of pools of water and broken
bits of paving stone.
Sleeping Cars Progress
This, in turn, will lead him to
one of the earliest paved or gray
eled roads, and finally he will
come out on bit of modern high
way, with manholes, car tracks,
street lamps and the like, and with
a model cross section beside him
showing how subways. pipe lines
and such are carried Beneath the
street
Or suppose the spectator wants
to trace the development of the
sleeping car.
First he will be ushered into a
crude box, will feel the car sway
beneath him just as the ancient
railroad coaches used to sway over
their primitive roadbeds and will
see just how his grandfather slept
when he went travelling.
Run Mechanically
Next, he will go into naother car,
slightly more modern. but with The
chief advantage consisting in rough
hunks along the walls.
From this he will pass into mod
el of the first real sleeping car with
lights, bedclothing and a semblance
Of comfort; and after this he will
be ushered into a modern Pullman.
This exhibit will be highly elabo-
rate; the motion of the cars and
the noise of their wheels will be sim
ulated mechanically, and a glance
out of the window will show bits of
scenery flying past.
If the visitor is curious about
ships he can have lot of fun. He
can step up to a big tank, push
button and see a f1fteen-foot model

for Failure to Provide Cars.
BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Repa-
rations were denied the Alexander
King Stone Company of Indiana
by the interstate commerce COM
mission for damages alleged due to
failure of the Chicago, indianapolis
& Louisville railroad to provide
cars for loading stone at the COM
pany's quarry at Stinesville, Ind.
The decision was supplemental to
one issued previously in which the
commission found that the roads
action was unduly prejudicial, I'M
lust and unreasonable. In declin-
ing to award damages. the commits
sion concluded that while some
stone might have been marketed if
cars had been provided, the cost
of such service would have been
improbable.
