Machine Age in the Hills" by
Malcolm Ross, pictures the plight
Of the soft coal mining industry as
an exaggerated example of the
troubles that have fallen on indus
try generally.
There was a tremendous boom, a
vast expansion of productive ca
pacity, great overproduction and
Walloping deflation.
AS a result, there are thousands
Of idle men, much red ink on the
ledgers, scores of mines that never
will be used again and a general
state Of chaos ana loss which calls
for a far-reaching program Of re-
Mobilization.
Ross deyotes himself chiefly to
the Blue Ridge mines. Here the
mountain whites had, Until a few
years ago, a civilization that had
not changed since the seventeenth
century.
Dhey we're poor, ignorant, and
isolated, but they were self-suf-
ficient, individualistic and, pre-
sumably, fairly contented.
Then it was learned that these
mountaineers had been living en- top
of some of the earth's richest coal
deposits.
Mines were dug, the old civiliza
ton was destroyed-an now that
the crash has come, the noun
taineers are left infinitely worse
than they were before.
Ross book is singularly dispas-
sionate and unprejudiced. He does
not especially blame the coal
operators; most of them, he finds,
are decent, enlightened men who
simply are up against a problem
too big for them.
He has Scant use for the liberals
who dabbled in affairs in Kentucky
year or so ago. He simply re-
marks that the entire industry must
be integrated, that surplus miners
must be transferred to other jobs

Shakespeare helps the actor even
in the most modern naturalistic
play. Read Hamlet's speech to the
players once more. I think of the
whole speech as the full definition
of the actors art. So far as that
was true before it was written, it
is true now. and will be for all time.
One might call it the perfect seed
which dropped into the mind of the
actor and cultivated, as all seeds
must be to grow, will shoot into the
light and flower always as histri-
onic art.
All great acting has never swerved
from these fundamental precepts
laid down by the Bard of Avon.
After lifetime of experiment, Stan
islaVsky, in his remarkable book,
My Life and Art" gets back at
the end to what one may call the
Shakesperean tradition.
1t is always desirable to play those
classics, like Hamlet" that enlarge
the vision, that are wholesome,
sound and beautiful, that reveal the
whole man, and that develops the
highest and subtlest resources of the
actor This establishes a place for
the great poet in the vital and for
Wardlooking life of today.
At the same time I also feel that
it is important to present beautiful
and poetic modern dramas like Ca
ponsacchi," which was written for
me by Arthur Goodrich.

Forty years ago last week, some
thing happened in literary circles
which affected not only Indianapolis
but the rest of the world in a
bizarre way.
IN this city, it was felt with a
sudden definite change in women
styles and manners. Overnight the
whole town was talking. The names
of the chief characters in a book
became household words.

nine then touring the country in

League on Vote Stand
New Law Will Not Slow Up

Judge Says.

Asserting that he does not think
the section of the new Indiana
voters registration law requiring
signatures of all voters in the poll
books at precincts would slow up
the voting. Fred c. Cause, former
supreme court judge and present
member of the state elections board,
declares himself in accord with the
present by the executive committee
of the indianapolis League of Wom-
en- Voters.
Mr.. Cause made this statement
to Mrs. Joseph j. Daniels, president
OF the league. and Mrs. Ralph E.
Carter, member of the board of
directors. Mr.. Cause long has been
in favor of an adequate voters
registration law, and did much work
in formulating the new statute.
The public statement issued by
the league last week pointed out
that signature Identification of the
voter, contrary to general belief,
would not slow up voting and neces-
state additional voting precincts.
Renewed interest in the act has
been aroused because of the recent
superior court decision mandating
the Marion county council to ap-
propriate money for the registration
of voters. The case now is before
the supreme court on appeal.

Of women voters in Indiana have
offered their members as deputy
registration officers to serve without

tration law, and the Marion council
appropriate the necessary money, a
similar offer will be made by the
indianapolis league" Mrs. Daniels
asserted.
