''wayward' presents the theme
= of q prosecuting mother-in-law,t the
part portrayed by Pauline Freder-
lex, who thinks her sons wife,
Nancy Carroll, Is quite unworthy
Of the affection OF her darling boy,
Richard Arlen, and certainly quite
beneath the social prominence and

would be fair to the girl-who was
pretty-and try to make her
worthy of her. new position, but
/. 1t was all terrible mistake.
This type Of dramatic story was
very popular In the old days. Au-
diences would develope a. vigorous
hatred for the contemplate ac-
tivities of the mother-in-law and
applaud vociferously the sweet
young wife, when in apt phrases
she COMPOUNDED her prosecutor and
proved herself to be a devoted wife
and perfect lady.
In "Wayward," modernized and
inspired by the sophistication and
present-day standards, Nancy Car
roll has a splendid vehicle for her
flashing, beauty and dashing spirit.
With Richard Arlen, who plays the
part Of the dutiful SON and dis
traught young husband, sre finds
herself in many dramatic situations

mother, who finally succeeds in
turning Arlen away from Nancy.

In the past the people had right to express their

the primary.
But this year, the men and women who are selected
as delegates to the national convention by the dele

their own judgment or preiudces and the people OF
Indiana will be limited TO choice between the two

voter to express his opinion and that expression OF

important bearing on the final outcome
The same thing is true of the candidates for

ON Understanding Women" should influence our
future thinking For Mrs. Beard contends that
women always have helped to make history but that
men, being the historians, gave no credit for it.
For proof of the truth of this statement we need
only search the histories studied in school and
those now being compiled.
Glance, if you please, at almost any book pur-
porting to be true tale of the World war. You will
find slight mention made of the part played by women
in this colossal event. No stress will be placed upon
the fact that because OF its demands millions of
women went forth from their homes into industry,
taking up work that before had been done only by
men.
Yet bear this in mind: This one occurrence will
have greater influence upon civilization and the
future of the than all the victories won or the
defeats suffered by generals upon the battle fields
TT makes little difference upon the individual citizen
whether Alsace-Lorraine is under the rule of
whether women cease to be interested in the home
and dislike the responsibilities of motherhood.
And you can't transplant one-thrd of the popu-
lstion of the globe from familiar environments and
set them at new tasks without getting some kind of
explosive reaction.
Even the gentlemen of the old school who spoke
so feellngly about wonen'S power being behind the
thrones of the world did not set this down in their
