CURTIS BILLS
HIS BUSINESS

TOPEKA, Kan, June 26.-The
amount paid for his suite in the
Mayflower Hotel is his own and
the hotels business and not the
affair of anyone else, Vice Presi-
dent Charles Curtis said yester-
day in reply to a telegram from
E. Hald EN- n julius, Girard
(Kan.) publisher.
Recently Haldeman-Julius ad-
dressed a telegram to the Vice
President in which he charged
that Mr.. Curtis was taking ad-
vantage of a low rate by reason
of his office and that he had
participated in a $100,O00,00
bond issue, from which he re.
ceived $3.50 day.
In his answer Mr.. Curtis de-
clared he knew nothing of any
bond issue and further asserted
that Haldeman-Julius was in
error when he said the Vice
President had blocked an investi-
CATION Of the supposed bond issue
by the Department of Justice.
Mr.. Curtis also said that in
the past Vice Presidents Of the
United States had been furnished
quarters free of charge, but that
he pays for his.

What we're believed to be gang

early today raked along Trinity

into the wall of University Club,

The mysterious feature about
the affair was that no one heard
the shots. One of the cars had
nine bullet holes in the body. The
other, parked on the opposite
side, had eight holes in the wind

Two slugs were found imbedded
in the wall of University Club,

bullets were found.

New York, Nov. 25.-In recent
weeks I have received q number o1
letters asking such questions as:
What are the outstanding attrac-
tions in New York at the moment?'
What events in music, the theatel
and the arts are people talking
about?" what outstanding topics
merit the Importance of discussion at
a woman'S club?"
So herewith I shall try to sum-
Marie the most discussed headliners
in various fields:
4 X X
Opera-"Schwanda," the Metropol-
itans annual novelty and the best
since "Coq dor" First presented In
Prague, adapted to the German and
presented at the Met in that tongue
Has been presented in 120 European
theaters, and is colorful fantasy
The music Is lighter than most Met
events present; has fine humor and
is imaginatively staged by Joseph
Urban; is lyric and modern. A def
mite innovation. The second feature
will be "Wozzek," the ultra modern
opera given in Philadelphia last year
by Leopold Stokowski.

ArtThey're talking most about q
young Frenchman named Marco
Mouillet. Joseph Drummer, of the
Drummer Galleries, noticed his work
in Paris last summer and brought
over show, made up largely Of bril-.
liantly colorful paintings executed II
the Egyptian desert. Mouillet, borr
of tradespeople, came out Of the wal
badly gassed and started painting. A
small gallery owner in Paris took hin
as protege. But no money was forth.

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association


Throughout the United States
school boards and commissions are
concerned with the problem Of proper
ventilation of schools.
The matter is important not only
from the health angle, but also as it
concerns economics and the ability
of the children to work satisfactorily.
The fact that bad air may have a
bad effect on human health and COM
fort has been recognized for more
than 1000 years.
1t was at first thought that the
only bad air was that which con-
tanned more carbon Uoxide than it
ought to and less oxygen than out
side air. The modern point of view
is that the chief purpose of ventila-
ton is to remove the excess Of heat
given off by the human body so as
to maintain an atmosphere that will
be comforta ble-cool but not too cold.
The final report Of the New York
Commission on Ventilation indicates
that the essential problem of ventila-
ton, except where the air contains
poisons or dust due'to imperfect COM
bustion or industrial processes are
concerned, IS physical and not a
chemical problem that affects the
skin more than it does the lungs.
X X X
To this, of course, must be added
the fact that the air tends to take
up odOrS from the human body when

and may thereby become so unpleas-
ant as to diminish appetite and even
produce nausea. Mechanical experts
have invented all sorts of devices to
ventilate rooms properly and the out
come Of all Of their experiments was
the development of fans for forcing
air into rooms.
Because scientists and experts In
hygiene began to demand 30 cubic
feet OF air per minute, the state of
New York in 1913 appointed COM
mission to investigate the problem of
ventilation. The studies include not
only tests made in the laboratory but
also additional tests carried on in
schools.
The commission now is convinced
that auditoriums holding 100 people
or more. large offices, workrooms and
industrial establishments where ex-
cessive heat or moisture or dust or
poisonous fumes are produced require
ian ventilation. In certain Workrooms
where outdoor noise or dust or odors
may make it inadvisable to keep the
windows open, fan ventilation may
be required. In most places, how
ever, window ventilation seems to be
entirely satisfactory and indeed is to
be preferred for school rooms.
It is recognized that occupied rooms
IN schools should have temperature
about 68 degrees Fahrenheit; corri-
dors, gynnasiums and shops should
have IS degrees Fahrenheit; swim
ming pools and adjacent rooms, IS
degrees Fahrenheit.

county families face joyless Thanks

There is need most pressing and

Reckless and inconsiderate drivers
should be punished. It would seem
that the time has arrived in this
state for the licensing of automobile
drivers. There should be an age limit
for drivers and no one should be al
lowed to operate car until examined
as to qualifications.
Other states have found that reg

Is a Great Medium

Granting the movie screen is q
great medium of amusement and ed
ucation, a steady fan will be par
doned the reflection that so much
finds its way to the silver sheet OF
a questionable and salacious nature.
Self-respecting newspapers are gov
erned by the fitness of news. Ono
great American newspaper prints
conspicuously near it's title line, "All
the News That's Fit to Print"
Producers of the movies and talk
les should be guided by the same fine
sense of the fitness Of things and
purge their programs of the often
sive. This can be done without max
ing the films dull or barren Of clean
humor and exceptional entertain
ment. The best patronized pictures
after all, as the box office receipts
will show, are the cleanest.
Public censorship of the screen or
the stage is to be deplored. The
American public, generally speaking
is opposed to a censorship of either
the legitimate stage or the screen by
self-appointed moralists. Better a
few raw" films now and then, rather
than to paralyze this form Of amuse
ment by the dullness and inadequacy
of official censors.
The Tribune frequently receives
letters from readers protesting agains,
suggestive films in which the pro-
ducers go out of their way to offend
and deliberately parade vulgarity OF
a most nauseating type. 1t Is such
lapses as this which bring the de-
mand for official censorship.
For the few films which disgust
