SOUTH BEND TO
FACE TAX WAR
Figures Submitted Are Far
Above $3.50 Limit.
BIZ Times Special

By Times Special
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. 49,
With three of the five tax units of
st. Joseph county presenting
budget estimates which already call
for 1920 tax levy a fight will be
waged before city council tonight
by advocates of economy to restrict
the budgets to the $3.50 maximum.
Last week the school board pre-
sented a budget which would call
for levy of $1,185, an 11-cent in
crease over the present rate. The
city budget to be submitted tonight
will call for an increase in the
levy from "a cents now in force to
8615 cents.
These two figures, added to the Is
cents state maximum make for
1920 rate, 70 cents more than
allowed by the new law.
The township and county budgets
have not been submitted and these
are expected to boost the tax rate
far Beyond the $274 in force this
year.
Tax reductionists, headed by
Frank j. Murray, have declared that
they will attend the county meeting
tonight. They announce that if the
spirit and the letter of the $3.50 law
are not obeyed, they will rebel
against further payment of taxes.

Drive to Abolish SlunS
Urged as Relief Project
Proposal Will Be Placed
Before R. F. C. as Worthy
for Funds.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Elim-
ination of slum areas in the ma
tons great cities will be urged by
many social and industrial groups
when the Reconstruction Finance
Corporations program of self
liquidating projects comes up for
definite action by the government
agency, it was learned today.
The department of commerce has
made surveys of so-called "blighted
areas" and is assembling informa-
ton on the most serious phases OF
the problem as they affect health,
morals, economics.
In many circles, it generally is
recognized that this sort of project,
both in providing direct employ
ment and in furnishing jobs in
building industries, will have a ire
mendous effect in ameliorating the
unemployment problem.
Present low building prices are
felt to justify a national movement
to clean up old tenements.
Facts submitted to the recent
economic conference by Clarence M.
Woolley of New York aroused ire
mendous interest in the subject.
Although, like the f1ve-day week,
not regarded as a complete solution
of the jobless question, it is pointed
out that expansion of building
through far flung razing of ancient
tenement houses will give great i'm
petus to business and industry.
Numerous projects in many great
cities, Woolley said, only are await
ing the day when sufficient credit
will be advanced. He cited New
York's Radio City, sponsored by
John D. Rockefeller Jr., as a typ
ical instance of useful and prof
liable construction of a somewhat
different type.
Contrary to the general impress
sion, the facts show that there is
dearth of decent, low-priced homes
for the white-collar worker and
laboring man.

Striking Illinois Coal
Miners Marking Time
Maintain Picket Lines and
Wait for Leaders to
Reach Decision.

~ hted Press
GILLESPIE, ILL.,, Aug. 29-Strik-
ing Illinois coal miners maintained
their picket lines around the pits
and marked time today while wait
ing for their leaders to reach a de-
cision on what next to do.
The policy committee of the thou
sands of miners on strike since the
wage scale was reduced from $6.10
to IS a day met here Sunday, but
deferred action on all matters until
Thursday
Leaders said they would summon
400 representatives of local unions
Thurday and vote on whether to
organize another protest march into
Franklin county, where some of the
lergest mines in the country are
being worked under the new scale.
More than eighteen thousand of
the men who marched into Frank
lin county last week were routed by
deputy Sheriffs in the battle of
Muddy river bridge. Several men
were wounded and man, of their
automobiles were wrecked in the
hasty retreat, after the deputies
fired upon them.
Picketing of mines at Taylorville
and in several other sections con-
tiued. Few miners braved the picket
lines, although there was no threat
of violence to those who did.
Word was sent to the policy COM
mittee that union miners in Ken
lucky, Indiana and Alabama would
send delegations, if a new march
was started.

LoophoIe in Prohibition Law
Gives Right, Asserts
Noted Lawyer.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-There
is one last possibility of a legal
loophole in the eighteenth amend
ment through which prohibition
might be as good as abolished with
out waiting for repeal.
That loophole, if it proves to be
such, will be as big as barn door.
There will be a tremendous national
uproar when and if an attempt Is
made to open it up.
At least three Governors of states
are considering the theory that
there is nothing in the prohibition
amendment which would prevent a
state from engaging in the man
ufacture, transportation and sale
of Intoxicating liquors within its
own borders.
If one of these Governors sud-
denly brings this proposition before
a legislature. perhaps urging action
on the ground of need for revenue
and the anticipated delay in the pro-
cess of repeal, the whole prohibition
situation is likely to be changed
overnight and its other phases
hurried until the new issue is fought
out.
John F. Finerty, a Washington
lawyer of high prestige, wrote the
brief developing the proposition at
the request of a middle western
Governor. Finerty used to be
counsel of the United States rail-
road administration.
In case his contention we're made
to stick, the vets surely would erect
monuments to him and drys would
hang him in effigy as often as they
foregathered.
His proposition is that the police
powers conferred on the federal
government in the amendment are
applicable against citizens of states,
but not against states themselves:
that a state has the power to go

SOvIETS DOING
ABOUT FACE ON
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Reforms Aimed at Fuller
Mental Development of
Individual.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press stan Correspondent

MOSCOW, Aug. 29.-The Soviet
government has admitted failure Of
radical classroom methods. adopted
under the Communist regime, and
has turned back to the "old-fash-
Toned school teacher in a drastic
move to improve instruction of Rus
sia's youth.
Faced with the necessity of raising
millions of Russians from illiteracy
if the Communist experiment is to
be successful, the central commit
tee of the party Sunday issued an
order for. an aboutface in school
methods
Later the order may be extended
to bring about an even more COM
plete reorganization of the univer-
sity and other institutions of higher
learning.
The order changed the subject
matter and teaching methods in
elementary and middle schools
throughout the Soviet Union.
Henceforth, methods will be more
conservative and direct control Of
classrooms will be restored to the
school teacher
That bane of school children-ex-
aminations-alSo was revived. and
the order provided that they should
be. given frequently.
Examinations will be the basis Of
determining the extent to which the
pupil has progressed.
Emphasis will be placed on basic
subjects and general knowledge, in
Guiding history, geography, litera-
ture, etc.
Significantly, the reform is aimed
at fuller development of the in
dividual pupil in contrast to the
former idea of developing collec-
tive groups-a move in line with
the recent government policy of
greater freedom for individuality.
There also will be less time de-
voted to Communist propaganda.

BLUE EYES BEST IN FILM
They Photograph Better Than Broom
BY DAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 2e.-The
L i blues" have til
No, it's not songs I'm speaking
about. Today's discussion deals
solely with eyes-and very famous
eyes, too
I have discovered that blue-eyed
actresses are in the vast majority
in the film colony-outnumbering
their brown-eyed sisters about six
to one.
OF course, there's reason, just
as there's a reason for everything.
Blue eyes photograph better than
brown ones. At least they are
nnore expressive as far as the cam
era is concerned.
Consequently, other things being
equal, the blue-eyed girls get the
breaks down in this corner Of our
nation.
There is only one time when
brown eyes have an edge on the
blue, according % Cecil B. De Mile,
who has been directing pictures for
a sufficient length of time that he
should know whereof he speaks.
That time is when the girl must
register rage. For some reason the
dark orbs are far better suited for
this sort of temperament.
GETTING back to the investiga-
VI ton. here are the girls I found
among the more successful actresses
who possess blue eyes:
Greta Carlo, Marlene Dietrich,
Norma Shearer, Tallulah Bankhead, \
Karen Morley, Miriam Hopkins,
Marion Davies, Carole Lombard,
Nancy Carroll, Juliette Compton,
Frances Dee, Virginia Bruce, Sylvia
Sidney, Gloria Swanson, Lilyan
Tashman, Adrienne Ames, Billie
Dove Anita Page, Thelma Todd,
Dorothy Wilson, Constance and
Joan Bennett, Loretta Young and
Fay Wray.
Naturally the fact that blue eyes
are out in front doesn't keep the
dark orbs out of the running. Far
from it.
A few of our most successful act
resses wouldn't trade their brown
eyes for blue ones in a thousand
years.
THOSE who are proud Of their
i brown eyes are Claudette Col
bert. Joan Crawford, Sally Eilers,
Janet Gaynor Clara Bow, Irene
Dunno, and Lupe Velez.
Guess they are sufficient proof
that brown eyes aren't exactly a
handicap, regardless of what direc-
tors and cameramen have to say
about their Photographic qualities
or limitations
Then there are those who are
sort of on the fence, so to speak
Among them are Mary Pickford,
Ruth Chatterton and Wynne Glib
son.
And there's Colleen Moore, who is
privileged to put herself in either |
class she desires. One Of her eyes |
is blue, the other brown. But they |
photograph the same.
