pilot told him how far away from
earth we were.
1T is all so beautiful up here"
he said, "but tell me, I can see
nothing ahead. Suppose another
ship would appear suddenly and
strike us?"
Arnett only smiled when re-
marked that Death" should know
the answer.
Appropriate for Death
And when we started down from
that dizzy height, Death was told
that we were flying blind"
And that is very appropriate for
Death" Woods smiled as he lighted
another cigaret.
For forty-f1ve minutes Woods told
me how he makes up for Death in
the play, how lights playing upon a
certain makeup sent special from
New York gives Death the strange,
pale appearance.
And when we landed safe and
sound, Woods said: Death GER
tainly had a most pleasant after
neon of his holiday"
The actor tossed off his black
and sinister attire and became the
Donald Woods, just a citizen.

LIllS week.
Death" is not a pleasant sub
ject, but Woods finds the difficult
ties of the part merely little prob
lens. He is letter perfect in his
lines, understands the powerful
standings and above all he looks the
part.
Here is a dramatic characterize
ton which helps to make Death
Takes a Holiday" one of the ten
best plays of the season produced in
New York.
In considering the set, the han
ding of the lights as we'll as the
acting of the entire cast, Death
Takes a Holiday" is a masterpiece
in the hands Of tha Casey company.
If you want to see really great
dramatic acting, if you want to
meet up with strange and an ex-
citing experience on the stage, then
by all means see what Donald
Woods does to the part of Death.
Death Takes a Holiday" should
make theatrical history at English's.
1t should definitely give the Casey
company that power which will put
them over the top.
Here is a tremendous play, done
in a tremendously powerful way
from the second it starts until it
ends. About this time you will dis
cover that I am wild over the merits
of this performance.
There are several other splendid
performances. Especially the work
of Will Lloyd as Duke Lambert.
Here is polished and smart work.
This man is a wonder.
Frances Dale as Grazia, who loves
and understands Death, gives a
sweet, impressive and a smart per-
Torrance.
Walter Davis makes good i'm
preston as the soldier, who often
has faced death.
Others in the cast are Kathryn
Van Esse, Freddie Sherman, Jane
Wheatley, Dick Elliott (gets the
laughs and the play needs lighter
moments), Edna Severy, Edward
Fitzgerald, Lulie Simmons and Jack
Mabry.
I know of no better dramatic buy
ever given us in stock at these
prices than Death Takes Hol-
iday."
Now at English's.

COUzENS' STAND
FORCING REPLY
ON WAGE CUTS
C. of C. May Outline Its
Position in Answer to
Senator's Urgings.
By United Press

By United Press
ATLANTIC CITY, April 28.-The
multimillionaire, Senator James
Couzens (Rep., Mich), who once
was a wage-earner mechanic. is
likely to prove a potent influence
by proxy in the United States
Chamber Of Commerce convention
here beginning Wednesday, because
of his persistent demand that the
convention go on record on the
controversial issue of wage cuts.
President William Butterworth of
the Chamber declined to discuss
Couzens' open letter to him, in
which the Michigan senator argued
against reducing wages at this time
on both humane and economic
grounds, and asked that the matter
be taken up by the business group.
Neither would julius Barnes, in
dustrial leader and close friend of
President Hoover, comment on part
of the Couzens epistle to the con-
vention referring to him. The Mich
igan senator took sharp issue with
a recent statement of Barnes, sug-
costing that wages be cut and
spread out to cover unemployed
ranks.
Capital should not pass upon the
wage Garner the burden of taking
care of those out Of work, Couzens
said in effect
Whether the Couzens' policies,
embodied in two lengthy pronounce
ments, can remain unanswered is
rather doubtful, and the wage cut
question may be forced into the
sessions before they end Friday
night.

WOODS RETIRES;
HINT AT BREAK
WITH PRESIDENT
Relief Proposals Believed
to Have Met With
Hoover Rebuff.

BIZ United Prsss
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Imme-
diately following withdrawal Mon
day CT Colonel Arthur Woods and
six other officers of the Presidents
emergency committee for employ
ment, reports we're current that the
retirement Of Woods and his asso-
ciates was the result Of disagree
ment with Mr.. Hoover on unemploy-
ment relief methods.
According to White House an
nouncement. Woods will go abroad
to study employment insurance
and labor conditions, and Will return
later to resume his duties, Woods
himself SAID thai would depend
upon conditions" 1t was learned he
had given up his house in Washing
ton
According to reports in well-in-
formed quarters, the retirements
we're due to refusal of the Presi-
dent to approve relief measures
recommended by Woods, and in
volving federal expenditures Of
about three billions of dollars.
These we're said to include:
/. A federal appropriation of
about $500 100000 for highway i'm
provement, to provide work for 340,-
900 men.
2. Bringing up to date the re-
forestation program Of the depart
ment of agriculture, adopted nine
years ago, to cost about $70,000,000.
3. Repairing army housing facili-
ties at a cost of about S40,000,000
exclusive of new construction.
4. Distribution of garden seed,
either free or as small loans, to
unemployed miners and others.
5. The Wagner employment ex-
change bill, vetoed by the President.
The reforestation project was
said to have been rejected on the
ground that it would be politically
inadvisable for the administration
to reveal how far behind the depart
ment Of agriculture had fallen in its
program. The army barracks repair
proposal was reported to have been
turned down for like reasons.

BRITISH BUDGET
AROUSES WRATH.
OF CAR OWNERS
SnoWden Levies Additional
AGENT Tax on
Gasoline.
BY KEITH JONES
United Press stan Correspondent

LONDON, April 28.-The voices
of Britain's propertied classes and
Of many of her 100000 automobile
owners were raised today in protest
against the budget presented to the
house Of commons by Philip Snow
den, chancellor Of the exchequer.
Motorists were particularly Wig
orous in opposition to SnoWden's ac-
ton in imposing a further tax OF
two pence a cents a gallon on
gasoline, affecting what was de-
scribed as already being the most
heavily taxed unitarian trade in
Britain.
1t was estimated that the add
tional tax, bringing the total to six
pence a gallon, coupled with the
existing tax of one pound (S4.8D
horsepower, would make the aver
age tax on an automobile more than
500 annually. The gasoline tax is
effective today.
Land Owners Are Indignant
The land owners also were indig-
nant because Of the new tax on land
"a tax of one penny in the pound
on capital value of land-and thus
the antagonism between the prop
ertied classes and the Labor party
appeared to be intensified.
The Conservative party was ex-
pected to fight the proposal, but it
was generally believed the Liberals
would support Snowden, since David
Lloyd George attempted to intro
duce such a measure in 1920.
The fact that the land tax was
introduced into the budget prevents
the house of lords, which is the
stronghold Of the large land owners,
from interfering, as the peers are
not empowered to reject financial
measures.
Lure for Liberals
Many followers of Lloyd George
were describing the Labor cabinets
budget as a lure for support Of the
Liberals.
Snowden also was considered to
have made strong point when he
announced that he never would be
party to a revenue tariff which
was "a method of relieving the we'll
TODD at the expense Of the poor
and constitutes an attack on wages"

Death Takes a Holiday
Riding Plane OUer City
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

Death flew over Indianapolis in
an airplane.
He was pleasure bent and not on
business as he scared over the
city, at times as high as 5000 feet.
admit that I had a rather
strange feeling when 1 climbed into
the four scatter cabin plane Of Dick
Arnett at the municipal airport
and took my place by the side Of
Death"
He" was clad in the black robes
and black hood of his Office as Ar
nett warmed up the motor for one
of the weirdest Joy rides on record.
The face Of Death" was not
sinister on this trip, because under
meath the blackhocd smiled the
kindly and intelligent face of DON
aid Woods, leading man of the
Arthur Casey company at Englishs.
First Air Jaunt
This may not be the first ride
for Death, but it is the first air
jaunt for Donald Woods" the actor
told me, as Arnett lifted the big
ship into the clouds.
I then became the reporter and
took out my pad and interviewed
Death way up in the clouds. This
week at English's, Woods is wear
ing the same black garment and
hood as he plays the character of
Death, in Death Takes Holiday"
I will admit that once or twice
I had a rather creepy feeling about
the black attired fellow at my side
and wondered if Fate might play
freak trick on us way up in the
clouds.
Arnett guided the plane near the
ball park where a game was going
on
He Enjoys Ride
We'll, my boss Cmeaning Arthur
Casey, is there in the park seeing
the game" Death" told me. How
small, how very small, human be-
ings look down there.
People miss a lot by not seeing
the world from a plane" he told
me.
When the instruments registered
more than 1000 feet, we discovered
that the sun was shining on the
clouds.
At 5000 feet, Death" had
rather strange feeling when the

avenues there is a terrible bump in
front of the Kentucky restaurant.
Also the car track is so bad that
one has to drive almost to the OPP
posite side of the street to pass this
intersection. Will you please turn
this over to- the proper authori-
ties? H. M.
City Engineer A. H. More advises that
the street railway company plans to i'm
prove its tracks at this point this year.
The bump in the street is being investi-
gated by the street repair department.
Mr.. Fixit-There is no alley back
of Gray street, between Newton and
Meredith streets. When it rains
we have to pick our way through
the vacant lots so as not to get
stuck. We would like very much to
have few cinders. S. S.
The city has no right to trespass on
private property with cinders. nor has
it any right to spend city money to i'm
prove private property. according to
Street Commissioner Wilbur Winship.
However. a blank petition asking for
opening Of an alley in this location is
being mailed to you and may result in
action permitting the placing Of cinders
later.
Mr.. FIxit-Nowland avenue be-
tween Drexel and Bosart is unim-
proved, just cinders. The natural
flow of water is west but two houses
ct the corner have cinder drive
ways, blocking the cutters and caus-
ing the water to run in my base
ment. A CITIZEN.
Grading Of the street will be required
to remedy this situation. Street Commits
sioner Wilbur Winship has been advised
by inspectors, This will be taken care
Of when grading work is begun for the
year, probably the middle Of May.
Dear Mr.. Fixit-There is vacant
lot at Thirty-sixth street and
Northwestern avenue with bushes
and small trees bending over the
sidewalk, making it difficult to walk
along the sidewalk. It looks very
bad as well as being hindrance to
pedestrians.

This was referred to A. C. saIIee
park board superintendent, who ordered
an investigation to determine name and
address of the owner. who will be mott
fed to trim the bushes and trees.
Mr., Fixit-De Quincy street from
Twenty first street north to the
railroad, about one block, is nothing
but holes from one end to the other.
If you could only get it graded and
some cinders or gravel on it we
would appreciate it. MRS. E. D.
Grading work will not be started IN
til the middle of May, but Street Com
missioner w. n. Winship said he would
try to get cinders or gravel on the street
within a week or ten days.
