MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK,

HOLLYWOOD. Calf. May 80
(N.A.N.A).-T interchange between
stage and screen in Hollywood is one
of the most interesting angles Of the
village.
The same play which brought Kay
johnson to the legitimate here in the
movie center also brought Henry
ture-legitimate variety. Players like
the exchange of arts because it keeps
all facets of their talents in play
Henry Daniel, the lord ivor cream
OF serena blandish, the husband in Ina
Claire's first screen endeavor, The
Awful Truth"-the epitome of suave,
polished, restrained histricnism has
been co-starring with Kay Johnson.
Barrys Tomorrow and Tomorrow" Is
the chosen vehicle this time. And the
most interesting thing about this colony
is the enthusiastic patronage the movie
ties bring to the legitimate ventures.
Any evening at this play is Who's

Dorothy Mackailrs Hollywood friends
are guessing this time And that is
what Dorothy Mackaill, the mysterious,

intention of going back to Honolulu
comes her laughing denial that there

PLEA TO TROOPS
July %

ON July %, 1917, the executive
~ council of the all-Russia work
ingmen's and soldiers and peas
ants organizations issued a procla-
nation to the Russian troops, urg-
ing them to save the fatherland. B."
The proclamation read in part:
Fellow soldiers: One of our
armies has wavered, its regiments
have fled before the enemy. Who
is responsible for this humiliation?
The responsibility rests with those
who have spread discord in the
army and shaken its discipline, Nwith
those who at time Of danger, dis
obeyed the military commands and
wasted time in fruitless discussions
and disputes.
Enough of words. The time has
come to act without hesitation. We
have acknowledged the provisional
government. With the government
lies the salvation of the revolution.
We have acknowledged its unlin-
tied authority and unlimited power.
It's commands must be law.
Fellow soldiers: You are being
watched by those who work for Rus
STA and by the whole world. The
ruin of the Russian revolution spells
ruin for all. Summon up all your
manhood, your perseverance and
sense Of discipline and save the IA
therIand. ~

Jobs for the Disabled

Entirely aside from the humanitarian standpoint
there will be distinct financial gain for the federal
government and taxpayers-if the campaign of the
veterans administration and service organizations to
place disabled veterans in paying jobs is successful
Some 100000 veterans are receiving compensation
for war injuries. These men were in good health when
they entered service, Director Hines points out,
and many have been able to get satisfactory
Jobs since The situation obliges them to seek maxi
mum government help.
In the present era Of machine production there
many jobs which these disabled men can do as
well as any one and they have a right to job, a
right to live, and we them chance to make
good" says Hines. Work is the surest way Of a man
retaining his self-respect"
Some $4,000 of the disabled veterans are in hos
pals, and among these are many whose restoration
would be fastened if they were given work Other
wise they may return for permanent treatment.
The employment status of veterans drawing COM
pensation is being determined through missionaries
Where they unemployed, the information will be
turned over to the department of labor, which will
endeavor to find suitable work
Director Hines has asked employers to help these
men for whom the war has not ended. He should get
it in the fullest degree.

Give Him a Chance

citizen of Nappanee offers to give home to
the boy who sentenced to eight years in prison
for being rife slow in obeying order of Danish
ment from Princeton, Ind
Every social and humane reason suggests that
the proper authorities give the boy this chance.
If half the judge has said is true. and that is
probably fair estimate, then every social force of
Princeton as failed.
First the broken family failed. Then the schools
failed an orphanage failed and the very place he is
now confined failed. Certainly this judge failed
when he vent Russian and ordered exile.
The explanation of the judge leaves much to be
desired. He now says that he intended to order the
father of the boy to take him to some other county
But he could hardly have expected family to move
between afternoon and supper time and it because
the boy was found in Princeton few hours after
the unusual court proceeding that he was resenenced
to eight years in prison.
There is a division of opinion between the judge
and the state authorities the boys mentality and
his badness" These state authorities say that he
Is neither mental deficient really bad. He seems
to be victim of bad environment Possibly living
In a community that elects judges who believe they
have the power Of Punishment and exile may have
contributed to the unfortunate result

mean a wrecked life The boy ought to have chance

Try his hand where all the others have failed

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-When this earth
was created, the Creator had such
wonderful foresight to know that all
his souls here on earth would need
water, especially here in Indian
apolis, and I don't think it was his
intention that gentleman from
Philadelphia would come here and
gobble up this creation and then
sell it back to the people in gallon
lots.
I have wondered often who made
it possible for this Philadelphia
gentleman also to lay Watermains
in our streets and charge us for
them at a rate of something like
16 cents a lineal foot and also
charge the city a great many dollars
for each and every water plug put
in for fire protection. And it must
be remembered that these water
mains and fire plugs are put in only
where there are sufficient users to
guarantee the water company more
than a fair return on its investment.
Do the citizens of Indianapolis
really understand how this water
company really does charge them,
and how much, for every drop Of
water used, that it was Gods inten-
ton We should have?
I am under the impression that if
our citizens would give this matter
consideration and find out what we
were buying what already belongs
to us, they would, every one, be in
favor of sending the gentleman
back to Philadelphia and telling
him to stay there where he belongs.
I believe we could find some one
here in indianapolis who could run
our water supply that God gave us
without any dictation from outside
help.
Every one would be better of if
he would go to the Columbia Club
and pack up his $4,000 noise maker
and also take some of its member
ship with him who were responsible
for laws being passed that enabled
the city of Indianapolis water sup
ply to be in the hands Of some one
or a few men who don't even pay
their full quota Of taxes and take
millions Of dollars from our commu-
nifty.
If this man really did want to do
something, why did he not put
$4,000 in a fund to supply water
to those out of employment, and
to those who are sick and disabled,
especially the poor children who in
several instances have had their
water supply shut of by the water
company on account of our citizens
not being able to pay their water
bills.
How much longer are we citizens
going to be compelled to pay for
something that God has given US?

Nose TWeaking

TINE young man who carried on
4 the talk was pleasant-faced
and good talker. And yet before
he was done I had an enormously
strong impulse to walk over to the
machine from which he spoke and
tweak his nose.
But I remembered that the last
time I created a disturbance at a
street meeting I came away with a
black eye.
The provocation was of the same
sort as it had been on similar &C
casion. I resented an ignorant judg-
ment passed publicly on a man I
knew.
The young Christian in the car
undertook to read extracts from the
last letter of Ralph Barton and to
hold Ralph Barton up before the
crowd as a typical Broadway waster,
whose suicide was the inevitable re-
suit of idleness and dissipation.
Now, I don't pretend to know the
causes which led Barton to kill HIM
self. I doubt that he did. The let
ter which he left was, after all, only
an effort to grope for explanations.
1t might almost be a generaliza-
ton covering a good many cases

against the sentences have been nationwide. An

But the circumstances under which these eight Ne

Politics Hurts Here

NEAYBE that's a way out for the
1Y1 legislative investigation of
New York City, which appears to
have been baked by a stubborn ex-
house doctor, who was made a
couple of millions during the last
eight years by getting permits from
the board of standards, and won't
tell If, or with whom, he split some
of the cash.
This ex-horse doctor, or veteri-
marian, if you prefer, is a Dem
ocrat, Of course, while the legisla-
tive committee, though containing
Democrats, is ruled by Republican
majority.
AS might be expected, with 1882
so close at hand, and Democratic
chances so bright, the issue has be-
come political, rather than legal
with Democratic committeeman
backing DR.. Doyle in his refusal to
answer questions.
That is one big defect in party in
vestigations and party responsibility.

when he says:
1T must have been the aim of the Communist
agitators deliberately to muddle the matter and stir
up trouble. 1t is desperate and vain effort to win
the so-called Negro proetariat' to the Communist
party. They misunderstood the situation and the
psychology of the American Negro and of the south
I am not here opposing Communism as an eco
nonlic philosophy I am opposing it as means of
defending those eight Negro boys in the south It
would be the best means in the world for hanging
them or getting them mobbed"
OF course, it the aim of the Communist agi-
tators to stir up trouble And they are likely to meet
with some success wherever human beings are con-
scious Of wrongs that the government persistently
ignores. 1t would be too much to expect these Ala
bama Negroes, and ALL to turn deaf ear to the
Establishments of Communism.
Study these Alabama troubles. Find out what the
Negro meetings are for before turning Sherifs and
posses loose on them. If grounds for protest are
legitimate, those GROUNDS become less legitimate
the obligation of government to find a remedy be-
comes no less imperative merely because protest be-
comes dsorderly.
Above all, break away from the theory that in
these United States even wrong becomes right when
Communism points finger at it and speaks to those
who suffer by it.

The Defcit-Again

The fiscal year scarcely has begun. but the treas
ury already is worrying about how large deficit will
be incurred for 1882
The year began with the government 900
in the hole, and there was some qualification that
the amount did not exceed a billion as had been
feared
1t took only two weeks of the new year, however
for the billion mark to be passed Expenditures ex-
ceeded receipts by $14o0OO,OOO, bringing the total
deficit to s1o43ooO0OO.
The treasury estimated last December that this
years operations would leave surplus of $31 Oooo oo
But this hope has been officially abandoned. Books
will not balance, If the expected business i'm
prcvement materializes and the demand for economy
results in reduced expenditures.
The problem is to curtail expenditures and even
tually-but not just before an election-to find new
sources Of revenue.

IT SEEMS TO ME BY HE EES37S

A YOUNG man was delivering a

just outside the George M. Co
han theater the other afternoon. 1
joined the group to find out the ma
ture Of the message. Anybody who
has ever done street-corner meet
ings will always be interested in
what the other fellow has to say.
It soon was evident that this was
not a political, but a religious,
discussion. It seems to me an eX-

talked to street corner groups.
The spirit of such casualness ap-
peals to me more than set rituals

Pass Buck to Women

GOVERNOR WILLIAM H. CAL
NJ falfa Bid MURRAY of Okla
homa has much better idea Of
how to settle an irritating dispute.
He would let the women attend to it.
But, perhaps, you haven't read
about the threatened bridge war
between Oklahoma and Texas. II
not, hasten to correct the oversight
by all means. It's a grand illus
tration of how state rights and fed
eral rights, public business and pri-
vate business, toll bridges and free
bridges, can get all mixed up.
Governor Sterling of Texas says
the free bridges over the Red river
can not be opened, though COM
pleted, not only because of an
agreement with toll bridge compa-
MES, but because the latter have
obtained a federal injunction to
that effect.
Governor Murray of Oklahoma
says the free bridges shall be opened,
regardless Of agreements or injurc-
tons.
Governor Sterling has posted
Texas Rangers to stop traffic at the
Texas end Of the free bridges, and
Governor Murray has ordered traf-
fic blocked at the Oklahoma end of
the toll bridges.
Having produced this stalemate,
Governor Murray suggests that the
women come to the rescue of both
commonwealths, his theory being
that, no matter what the women
did, chivalrous peace officers would
let them 20 ahead.
