Demand Government Pave
Way to End IdIenesS

Organized labor and organ
lied business swung sharply to
the view that leadership on
the part of the Federal Gov
ernment is necessary to bring
this country back to normal
conditions.
William Randolph Hes rst, more
than a year ago, first made the
proposal that a $5,OCo,00O og0
bond issue be provided to initiate
a great program of public works,
thus providing employm ent for
many men on these projects, and
stimulating a return of business
activity.
Since that time events have
forced the public to a realization
that only this plan, or a similar
plan, can be effective. Within the
past few months the demand for
the initiation of a public pro-
gram has become almost over
whelming.

Robinson of Arkansas, Demo

WASHINGTON, Oct. SUR
! Joe Cronin, who came up from the
Sandlots of San Francisco to be
the outstanding major league
shortstop of recent years, was ap-
| pointed today to succeed the aging

the big Train" could do in four
years was to finish second in 1890.
In choosing Cronin Griffith pass
ed over the veteran Joe Judge, who
had been with the team for 10
years and was considered one of
the smartest first basemen in the
game.

1928. He played here in the last
few games of the 1923 season and

MIX FUND TO BE
CONTINUED BY
MOTHERS CLUB

Continuation of the supply OF
70 O'Clock milk to Harding school
children was decided upon at yes
terdays meeting of the Mothers
club which was held in the school
kindergarten room.
Last year the club instituted the
custom of sponsoring milk at 10
O'clock for all children desiring or
needing it, particular effort being
made TO see that undernourished
children were supplied. Milk was
secured at a nominal price and
those children whose parents could
afford it. paid for their milk, while
the club took care of those who
needed and were unable to pay
for it. Children taking milk made
such a satisfactory gain in weight
and health that the club will con-
tinue this project.
It was also decided to sponsor
and to aid in any way possible the
work of the Children's Clothes
closet.
During the business session Mrs.
w. j. Meagher was elected vice
president and Mrs. r. Landreth.
treasurer, TO fill vacancies in the
clubs offices. Committees for the
year were also appointed.

scented which consisted of a DEM

songs by Miss Laura Redden,
music supervisor, and Miss Edith
Eicke. school nurse and a talk by
Miss Eicke on the ways in which

Grand Hotel, the most spec
tacular picture of the year, with
one of the most notable casts ever
assembled for any entertainment
production, will come to United
Artists theatre tomorrow, showing
at popular prices for the first time
in this city. -
A sensation as a recent novel,
Grand Hotel has been even NOR
e so as a film-with a cast that in
cludes John anG Lionel Barrymore,
Greta Carlo, Joan Crawford, Wal
lace Berry, Lewis Stone and a
host of other screen luminaries.
Depicting short interlude in lives
of the inmates of European hotel,
the picture tells story packed full
of human interest and tells it in
highly interesting manner.
Phantom President, an ex-
tremely clever satire on modern
political methods, with George M
Cohan, the most famous stage Gel
ebrity playing a dual role, will be
shown for the last times tonight.
Claudette Colbert and Jimmie
"Schnozzle" Durante, share hon
orS with Cohan in this film.
Coming in the midst of pres
idential campaign, it is timely as
well as interesting, and is also
extremely humorous.
All the color and enthusiasm of
a national convention are present
and political rallies are conducted
in musical comedy style, something
new in politics, but highly amusing
to the audience.
Five battling murders in a Pull
man car on fast express, form
the background for BY Whose
Hand?", a mystery play which
shows tonight only at Fox Imper-
ial theatre, with Ben Lyon and
Barbara Weeks in the leading
roles, aided by a notable cast.
Trying to solve the guilty party
is something that will keep the
audience at high pitch, but the
tension is lightened by consider
able comedy.
More mystery is promised fol
Sunday when 10000 Witnesses"
the first football mystery murder
film, is to be shown. Johnny Mack
Brown, former University of Ala
bama star has the leading role
with Phillips Holmes, Dorothy Jor-
dan, Charles Ruggles and others
in the cast. The sensational death
of a famous gridiron star in front
of stadium full of people, is the
mystery that is to be solved anc
those who can guess the solution
are few and far between.
