Bank Accepts 1t
THE Young man nodded

The young man nodded.
"Yes," he said. "It's the only
chance I have. -"
Exactly three days later the
attorney sat before a gathering
of the bank officials. He had
been talking for fully half an
hour. Now he leaned back and
lit a cigarette.
"And there, gentlemen" he
asserted easily, sis the entire
storv. Because he was under
paid and because he couldn't
withstand temptation, that boy
stole $450.000. I tell you very
frankly that he has gone to
Europe and that there isn't a
chance that you will ever catch
him.
But if, by some great coin
cidence, you do catch him-then
what? The money is still gone
and all the jailS in the world
will not bring it back to you.
Consider my proposition care
fully and think that common
sense will show you its worth.
Give me a signed statement
that the boy will not be prose
cuted and I will have him turn
back $150,000 of the $450,0O0
that he stole. Before he left,
he told me that he still had
that sum in a vault. I know
that, with a convincing talk on
my part, can have him re-
turn it to you.
Easy to Make Money
"You see how very simple my
proposition really is, gentle
men? You have lost $450,00O.
BY a move that will mean moth
ing to you, you can cut that
loss to 100000. Surely there
can be no doubt as to which
is the best way to turn.
"T'm going back W my Of
flee. You can call me at your
leisure"
The following morning, the
attorney wirelessed his clients
boat and told him to return to
America from the next port.
q Then he looked at the $150,000
he had added to his hank &C.
count and he smiled happily.

yesterday afternoon at showing
of Broken Lullaby" the Ernst
Lubitsch picture starring Lionel
Barrymore, Nancy Carroll and

National Stock
Selects 3 Dramas

The three plays selected for the
National Players as the opening
trio are first, "a Church Mouse;
second, "On the Spot; third, "Un-
expected Husband" These three
plays, all of which were rated first
class Broadway productions and
eminent successes, have never been
seen in Washington. They will
have their first presentation here
under the auspices of the National
Theater Players.
"a Church Mouse" produced by
William A. Brady. in his Playhouse
in New York, is distinctively a
high-class comedy built around the
old "Cinderella" plot. 1t tells the
story of a beautiful little siren,
who comes to be the poor little
leftover, and the poor, miserable,
hungry church mouse gets to be
the gorgeous creature who capti-
Yates the hearts of three men.
"On the Spot" as it's name i'm
plies, is strictly a play of American
life, dealing with the most pro
nounced phase of modern exist
ence-racketS. It is, too, the work
of the master of thrillers, the late
Edgar Wallace.
Unexpected Husband" by Barry
Connors, who wrote 'The Patsy"
and Apple Sauce" just recently
closed long run at the Forty
eighth Street Theater in New
York. While one of the scenes
transpires in hotel bedroom, en-
phasis is placed on the fact that
there's not a blush in the three
acts of the play-it is a fun show,
and one of the best comedies pro
duced in years,

pected the result merely added to
the fashionable depression.
TOO True To Be Good" was at
it's very best when Beatrice Lille
as bogus nurse was rolling all
over the floor with Hope Williams,
her neurotic patient with the
measles. 1t was hilarious when
Hope Williams was jabbing her
paraSol into the ribs of Beatrice
Little as a gentle warning to be
ladylike. 1t was drolly comical
when Shaw's fanciful monster, the
Bacilli, was lampooning the medi-
cal profession. 1t was satirically
engaging when the Shagian Col
onel was being unmasked as an
inefficient military despot by the
tremendously capable Private
Meek. In other words "Too True
To BE GoSd" had sparkle and kick
when Shaw gave his actors some
thing to do and speeches which
could be transposed into action.
It was inclined to be dull, yes,
repetitious and tiresome, when
the playwright chose to be purely
pulpiteer.
Capable Guild Cast
Mr.. Shaw is we'll served by the
Guild cast. The most prominent
role and the choicest speeches fall
to the character "Mops," allotted
Hope Williams, whose beauty has
a masculine ruggedness but whose
thespian touch is sure and fasci-
mating. Beatrice Lille is sub
dued, getting but slim opportun-
ity for her gay fluttering and too
often being compelled to sit COM
placently by and express interest
while others spout the fat
speeches. To give Lady Peel the
full credit, she charmed her pub
lie whenever Mr.. Shaw's script
permitted it and respected faith

their moments of prominence; in
fact, Minna Phillips, Julius Evans

He tapped the desk. He
looked out of the windows. His
mind seemed a million miles
away. Suddenly he wheeled in
his chair.
Can you steal 100000

tion.

The cashiers mouth opened
wide. He started to talk. He
stopped. He swallowed hard.
Then the words came:
II think so," he replied.
TN fact, I'm sure of it. No
body suspects me at the mo-
ment, and the entire organiza-
ton trusts me implicitly. can
take that much-and more
without any trouble. But why?"
The Broadway attorney, one
of the most famous characters
in courtroom history, waved a
hand.
Don't ask too many ques-
tions,' he returned. If you
want to put yourself in my
hands, you do exactly as I ad-
wise you. And 1 think 1 can get
you out of this.
There are three things you
will have to do. First, you will
take the $500, 900 at your earliest
opportunity and turn it over to
me. Secondly, you will sign a
statement that will dictate.
And last, you will leave for
South America on the first boat
after I have the money in my
hands.
Then, within three months,
you will be able to return to
America without the slightest
trouble. It may even be sooner
than that; it all depends, Of
course, on the way things go.
Do you want to go through
with it?"

Shaw Has His Say
A terrible looking monster
labeled the bacilli, sat up in bed
at the end of Act One and ad-
monished: "The play is virtually
over. But the characters will dis
cuss it at great length for two
acts more" This was literally the
truth, for at convenient times in
the ensuing acts Mr.. Shaw's pup
pets took the platform and pro-
ceeded to eXpound fixed opinions
on the League Of Nations, the
younger generation and it's barring
of souls, the damnable futility of
of war, the cupidity and avarice
Of the worlds rulers and whether

Something about a chronic invalid

health and adventure by sort

Shaw describes her, a character
who combines the morals of a
chambernaid, the instincts of a
thief and the manners of a
countess. Into the mountain re-
treat where they flee until the
ransom can be paid the jolly
kidnapers are pursued by the
British high command and this
gives the playwright his chance

WASHINGTON'S INTEREST
IN ALASKA

Spring calls thousands of men
to work in the fisheries of the
Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
Preparations for the pack are
quite as extensive as in the best
years of the past. Leaders in the
industry say that more than
100000 workers in al, will be
employed throughout the season.
It is at this time of the year,
too, that call should be coming
from the forests and the lumber
mills, which, in ordinary condi-
tons would give work to many
more thousands.
Right now is a good time to
take a look fore and aft. The
Alaska salmon run is expected
to be up to normal; the Puget
Sound run nearly So There is
no reason-unless the salmon
have one privately in mind
why the well-regulated fisheries
Of Alaska should not furnish
huge dependable supply every
season. The outlook on Puget
Sound, after this season, may
not be so good; the run here de-

Fifty Thousand Indian
Children In Public Schools
"Indian Leader"-Haskell Institute

1--WE have $4,000 part-Indian
children in the United States,"
says DR.. w. Carson Ryan Jr,
Director of Education for the
Indian Service, "who are in the
public schools and whom we
want to. help to stand on their
own feet and learn to get along
with their neighbors."
Indian education in the
United States has to deal with
two main groups of Indians,"
DR.. Ryan says, "a larger group
of comparatively little Indian
blood and culture, and a small
er group, mainly in the South
west, with really significant
survivals.
ITO many of us the first group
seems to have lost almost every
thing that is Indian, though
the ethnologist would probably
say that there is more survival
than appears at first sight. In
any case, this is group with
certain treaty and other rights
and long history of suppress
sion, both cultural and econ
omic, that has @about run it's
course. A rural situation here
exists not greatly unlike other
backward rural situations in
external appearances, but curl
ously complicated by racial
clements and the attitudes CT
whites. The Indians in this
group include the several thou
sand in Wisconsin, for example,
whom the Federal Government
long since let co. but who are
still far from adjusted to MOD
ern life, and the remnants of
tribes in Louisiana, never off,
cia.ly recognized by the Federal
Government, whose mixture in
cludes just enough Negro blood

Haskell Institute
Government has felt the best II
could do was to encourage rapid
ccmmingling with the rest IF
the population; hence, the pub
lie school attendance of $4,000
children of Indian blood this
year, more than half of all In
dian children attending any
school.
1T is true that Government
Indian boarding schools still
hold considerable number Of
Indian children, even in areas
where the public schools have
been willing to take them in. In
the public schools the Federal
Government has usually paid a
tuition rate for Indian children
who were wards and also for
q good many others whose ward
ship has become rather tenuous,
to say the least. This tuition
rate ordinarily amounts to about
half the cost of schooling and
has been paid on the theory
that the existence of untaxed
Indian land causes a reduction
in the tax resources available
for school purposes-a principle
that has been generally accept
ed by Congress and has worked
exceedingly well in some places.
Under this arrangement, which
exists in more than two thou
sand school districts, the Fed
eral Government has not at
tempted to any extent to fix
standards or dictate the kind or
quality of education, the result
being, of course, that the In
clan children take potluck with
ether Americans, suffering un-
der typical rural school condi-
tons a little more than their
