THE WET PARADE COMPARES LIFE OF PRE-WAR ERA WITH
 THRILLS OF PRESENT DAY

Thrills of modern life, exciting happenings which appear daily in newspapers and the expressing ad- venture of a young man and wo- man who find the fight for love and happiness as hazardous as the most fantastic jungle adventure, form the plot details of the"The Wet Parade,' which will open Tuesday at the Dream Theatre, August 1.zz-=- 1.
 The story, based on Upton Sin clair's sensational novel, opens on an aristoeratic Southern plantation before the World War, depicting the tragedy of young girl whose father is driven to suicide as d result of his obsession by liquor. Because of this, the girl becomes an almost fanatic supporter of the cause of prohibition but as the succeeding years bring about first the 18th Amendment and then the modern era of bootlegging activi- ties, she finds herself the center of series of exciting happenings which rise to thrilling dramatic climax.
 HighMghts Of the plot include the herione's attempt to prevent her brother from repeating her fathers fatal error: the tragic murder of a nagging wife who tries to interfere with her hus- iband's post-prohibition drinking habits, the wreeking of gin mill" by government agents and spectacular nightclub raids. The settings which range from a beau Itiful Southern plantation to pie ituresque New York. street scenes of the period of the Wilson ad- administration and finally depict, the Luxurious drinking places of the current times are the most varied and colorful seen on the screen iI some time.

ROPER To CEASE
PROMOTIONS

Analysis Of Secretary Roper's
statement to the Advisory and
Planning Council, which began its
work this week at the Depart
ment Of Commerce, indicated to-
day that the Secretary's view is
that business should do more pro-
motion work for itself, and lean
less on the Federal Government.
He pointed out that it had been
necessary to cut the foreign per-
sonnel of the department to about
one-third it's former strength, and
raised the question whether the
money Of taxpayers should be de-
voted to making detailed studies
of foreign markets for some spe-
cialized American product.
It has also been necessary, he
said, to abandon special surveys
and Investigations of benefit to
particular industries. He men,
toned particularly the Louisville
grocery survey and the st. Louis
drug survey.
He suggested that the depart
ment engage in broad business
problems, vital among which, he
considered, was the possibility Of
effecting adjustments to prevent
violent periodic swings in income
and employment.

The quiltmaker of olden times

only by the desire to be eco
nomical. Her quilts were a
means OF Self-expression-they
were a proof of her proficiency
as q needlewoman-they were
a means of comparing her in
genuity with that of her neigh
bors. So, some unusually in
genuous needlewoman decided
to show her skill-not in max
ing an intricate block, but
rather in taking a simple block
and making a striking pattern
by an unusual arrangement of

of blocks. The Golden Stairs

Africans Oppose
Increase In Taxes

Acora, Gold Coast, West Africa, Mar
oh 10, (ANP) - That the proposed in
crease in taxes and the levying of in
come taxes would be intellectually
opposed was indicated in the reaction
to the governors message delivered
here last week, in which these ince-
ments were set forth.
Those opposing such measures de-
clare that the reason that the budget
can not be balanced in due directly
to the high salaries paid to European
officials and to the funds expended in
improvement in the segregated district
occupied by Europeans. To substanti-
ate their claims table of comparative
salaries of officials on the Gold Coast
and that of officials in Jamaica was
presented which shows that the local
officials received much larger salaries
If the governor desires to balance the
budget the opponents ever, the first
step should be to reduce the fabulous
salaries of the officials and curtial the
expenditures on improvements from
which the Natives do not benefit.

Whip Lawyer Who
Defends Negroes

Memphis, March 10th (ANP) Even
white southern lawyers who defend
Negroes in the courts run the risk of
censure and attack from the prejudiced
ordinary mine-run of common whites,
it was demonstrated here this week
when C. B. Upton, local white lawyer,
reported that he had been beaten at
Marion, Ark, because he defended a
colored man accused of robbery
The defendant was Harry Davis, who
was charged with robbery and assault
On Nolan Robertson, white.
Upton obtained continuance of the
case against his client
After he had stepped out of the court
room. Upton was set upon and knock
ed to the ground by friends and re-
latives of Robinson when he admitted
that he was Davis lawyer. The man
who knocked him down was Sam Rob
insOn. III rlairtif's brother.
After returning to Memphis, Upton
stated: Apparently some of those fell
ows over there lust don't think Ne
gro is entitled to his day in court and
resent a lawyer from Memphis going
over there to defend one"
