viii Rogers is an apostle Of glad tidings. the friend
of the dog in the ditch. the laugh-maker whose name
is a household word in America and an idol Of the
millions in the 48 American states. His Houston audi
ence rolled up $500 for the drouth relief fund. His
appearances thus far have netted s8500 at Houston;
$500 Az Austin: Ss353 al San angelo: S89ll at San
Antonio ss59e at Abilene; $3.50 at Dallas; $500 at
Port Arthur; s7035 al Beaumont, and Breckenridge.
a city OF 1900 inhabitants, contributed $500 to the
fund. Wichita Falls led all the rest. More than $40
600 was contributed by the people Of that city to the
drouth relief fund. Fort Worth and Waco swelled
the grand total to a magnificent figure.
Yes, a friend OF humanity is this ace Of optimism
who surrendered three weeks Of his valuable time 70
the cause Of the hungry and the down and outer. In
addition to this before he began his tour Of Texas
cities. his wife sent a check for $1,000 to be placed
where II would do the most good. VIII Rogers is a
Golden Rule democrat. More power 70 his voice and
may he live TO be as old as the Arab who passed his
10th milepost just the other day and was in quest
Of his 40th wife. Oklahoma should be proud Of its
distinguished son and the American Indians prouder
still Of the thousand per cent American who has not
only climbed Alpine heights Of fame and fortune but
has won the admiration Of the American people.

The Once Over
BATTLING THE U

There are 2.l24 ways in which children annoy their
parents. according to Dr. Mandel Sherman, Director Of
the Child Research Center OF Washington. The doctor
Is too conservative. ANY child that can't find more
than 2,l24 ways to annoy It's parents is hopelessly
backward.
The normal child would consider AHA far below
par for any course.
There are. as any parent will testify. at least twice
that many ways in which a child can annoy them be-
tween 7 and 10 a. m Sunday mornings when they
would like to sleep a little late.
What does Or. Sherman mean by saying there are
only 2,l24 ways? Is he a parent? And II SO. has he
ever sat home trying to read q book while Junior de-
cded to take an inventory OF his toys, Including the
cornet, punching bag and drum7

means for violating the injunction. Now. don't make
any noise. children. Daddy IS sick?
Has he ever tried to write a speech or a short sorry

the house BY bad weather?
Has he ever ridden on q long railroad trip with q

Has he ever faced the deadly barrage Of foolish
questions a child can think up on a train trip Of 300

Has he ever counted accurately the annoyances the
parents must endure on an automobile trip to the
shore with four or five kids in the back seat?

AS to the charge of commercial
ism made against the players and
the village, Mr.. Holmes explained
that in 1922, when the German mark
was at its lowest point of value, there
was no change made in the price of
adnittance to the play. This caused
the town to become nearly bankrupt.
Mr.. Holmes carried his audience
back through the years with him,
and presented the players Of long
ago in their different portrayals and
also as they were in everyday life.
Some are still taking part in the
play, he said, but in roles more suit
able to their ages.
During the second half Of his lee
ture Mr.. Holmes presented slides of
the tableaux and the moving scenes
of this great portrayal Of Christ's life
on earth. Here also were shown
scenes made years ago, together with
the changes in the art and archi-
lecture of the stage settings. The
