nome" "As strong as I am. She
can throw me. Rocking did II"
Invents SwayOscope
Mrs. Meyer, a woman Of about
fifteen stone, smiled affably and
took up a wrestling stance in the
middle Of the floor, inviting your
correspondent to a friendly grapple,
which he declined modeStly.
Then DR.. Meyer brought out his
rockometer-SwayoScope, an inven-
ton which counts rocks for rocking
champions.
Next came the Meyer four-in-two
vitanin suit Of clothes. 1t weighs,
altogether, eighteen ounces. 1t con-
sists of a coat and a pair of trol-
sers, but the coat, when buttoned,
has enough shirt and enough vest
attached to make the garment COM
plete. The pants have ventilators
down the sides.
"Dr. Meyer next fetched out his
Meyer combination banjo-saxo-
phone. He played a tune on 1t,
rocking back and forth as he blew
and strummed.

I still think that his magic crys-
tai, the floating of ball in air, is
one Of the finest managed bits to be
seen on the stage today.
Roltare Eggleston, although man
ager Of English's, is a real magician
himself, and he told me that the
prettiest trick Is when ThurSton
causes a box four times as long as
another box to enter another.
ThurSton found time last night
from the stage to compliment the
new management on the beautiful
way the theater has been redecor-
ated.
II have always loved this theater
because 1t was so intimate" Thurs
ton said. 1T makes one feel that he
Is just In a parlor having his magic
at home"
He spoke OF the days in 1894 when
he and Eggleston were doing tricks
In the south.
1--WE had a trunk and one duck
then" Thurston said.
Thurston's program is a long one
this time. 1t is conveniently d.
vded in three parts, with his daugh-
ter Jane, having about fifty times
more to do this year than last.
She does a bunch Of tricks this
season and she Is doing them well
The entire act is dressed better than
ever and think his assistants on
the stage are better than usual.
1t certainly was a great sight to
see English's crowded to absolute
capacity last night. And it re-
mained for ThurSton to do 1t.
Because crippled children will be
his special guests Wednesday matt
nee and because seats are selling in
such large numbers for the rest OF
the week. a special matinee will be
given Thursday afternoon, Lincolns

POOR RELIEF
BILL PASSED
House Gives Commissioners
Power to Aid.

Poor relief legislation passed the
Indiana house with a flourish,
Monday, members voting $40 for
the Bates bill authorizing county
commissioners to borrow money
against township poor funds and
making the measure applicable only
to Marion county.
In its original form, the measure
affected all counties Of the state,
but appeared likely to meet stiff
opposition, because several repre-
sentatives objected to the "unlim-
tied power given the commits
Sioners."
Representative Oran w. Cromer
(Rep., Delaware) was the only dis
senter to the amendment, asserting
Muncie as well as Indianapolis is
in need Of poor relief.
The bill provides that county
commissioners may borrow money
at 6 per cent, payable the year fol-
lowing issuance, and that township
trustees and advisory boards may
make levieS necessary to repay the
loans.

ROME, Feb. 1o.-The new italian
penal code, which goes into force
next July, will support with the
power of the state many of the pro-
nouncements on matrimonial and
sex questions made by Pope Plus
in the recent encyclical ON mar
rage.
Birth control propaganda, whether
in the form of books, pamphlets
or lectures, is prohibited under the
new code. The sale Of contracep-
lives technically Is forbidden.
The puniShments against marital
mid ely not only are maintained,
but increased in rigor.

they stop the show.
Another good act Is the Kanazawa
troupe. They do their regulation
foot stunts Splendidly. Their act
appears modern, even in dress. And
the drop-it Is beauty.
McCormicks Fiddlers land on the
stage probably because they are
radio hits. On the stage their act
Is no longer novelty. 1t lacks
punch and novelty. Maybe I have
seen so many acts Of this nature.

; BEFORE STATE
ROAD PROBERS
Director Will Be Asked to
Explain Failure to Get
U. S. Aid.

Director John j. Brown Of the
staOe highway commission has been
summoned TO appear before the SEN
ate highway investigation commit
zee this afternoon TO explain failure
70 collect $500 900 in federal aid
While the department went into debt
some $2,500,O00.
In addition to this the senators
are planning to quiz Brown regard
ing the policies surrounding his ap-
potntment as state highway director
and the part Governor Harry G.
Leslie played in it.
Protest Over Opponent
Brown was put into the position
after the ousting Of former Director
John D. Williams. He had beer
chairman Of the Indiana state TAI
board, but at the time Of his ap-
pointment was acting as secretary
70 Leslie.
When the appointment was made
a storm Of protest arose regarding
Browns alleged lack Of qualification;
for the position. Long brewing, this
storm broke with the introduction
IN the senate of the resolution by
Senator Charles L. Strey (Rep.
Kosciusko and Wabash) to inYesti-
gate the department.
Predict Bills Passage
This has been followed by a bill,
introduced jointly by Senators Strey
and Anderson Ketchum Dem.,
Bartholomew, Decatur. Union and
Franklin), chief inQuisitor Of the
senate probe committee, to abolish
the Brown dictatorship and the
present commission and substitute
a bipartisan. four-man, full time
commission, appointed by the Gov
'ernor with senate approval.
Authors Of the bill confidently
predict its passage. Impetus will be
given the measure by testimony be-
fore the committee showing the fed
eraI aid collection failure at a time
when the funds were needed sorely
for drought and unemployment re-
lief, they declare.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Dr. Alex
ander Meyer, the reckless chair
rocking champion OF the world,
sometimes called the rocker of ages,
undulated on a davenport in his
Bronx apartment today and un-
leashed an imprisoned plea for Of
fetal recognition of his pastime,
which he says is destined to un-
horse baseball as our national sport.
The day is not far of, said the
inventor Of the Meyer reversible
jiffy bow tie, when Yale rockers will
pit their rhythm against the rockers
from Harvard, when people at par
ties will sit and sway rather than
gulp cocktails.
