MONROE DOCTRINE is
SCORED BY HOWARD
AnnuIIment Urged in Talk at
BuenOS Aires.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 27.-Ar-
gentine leaders, analyzing a sug-
gestion by Roy w. Howard chair
man of the board of the Scripps-
Howard newspapers. that the Mon
roe doctrine be annulled, found it
today significant of changing
American attitude toward South
America and New Deal" for the
western hemisphere.
In a speech to 800 guests at the
American Club, honoring the Amer
lean newspaper executives who were
passengers on the maiden trip of
the Brazilian Clipper, Mr.. Howard
urged the "debunking" of flowery
manifestations of goodwill among
the nations of the two Americas
unless these manifestations were
carried out in concrete activities.
Mr.. Howard praised President
RooSevelts foreign policy resulting
in withdrawal of United States ma
rines from Nicaragua and Haiti.
But after that" he said, lone
important task remains-to annul
the Monroe doctrine. This doctrine
was conceived in the highest Of ideals
and aimed at increasing the under
standing among American nations,
Actually it has become a barrier to
understanding.

and there is no excuse for it.
Yes, Miss Dietrich wears marvel
Gus costumes, but often the director
allows the effect to be lost before
backgrounds which make the actors
look like puppets. Miss Dietrich is
capable of better things than this,
but she has failed utterly in trying
to play the role of Catherine. Cath
crime might have been a lot OF
things, but she never was cheap
mentally.
Never have I encountered such
cheap conversation on the part of
the characters. Even Peters mis-
tress is made to refer to Empress
Elizabeth louise Dresser as an
"old bat"
Another sad report is that such
a good actress as Louise Dresser is
made to act so cheap and vulgar
that a burleques show of fifteen
years ago wouldn't stand for the
things she does in this picture.
The only saving grace from an
acting standpoint is the mad grand
duke of Sam Jaffe. Here is a hor-
rible character played masterfully
But even Jaffe is capable of greater
things.
Of course, this picture cost a
fortune but it is tiresome and dull
Josef Won Sternberg, in my opinion
has made a mess of this one.
Be your own Judge, as usual.

Wide Variation in Relief
Expenditures Revealed
Outdoor Relief Ranges
Widely in Various Coun-
ties, Report Shows.

A wide variation in the ratio of
relief expenditures in counties and
townships was reported today in a
study of Indiana public relief by
the Indiana state committee on
governmental economy.
The reports points out that forty
two years ago the expenditures in
Indiana counties for outdoor relief
ranged from At cents in Crawford
county to 84.1 cents per capita in
Warren county and that in 1888 the
comparative ranks remained ex-
actly the same.
The report cites that in a study
of LOIS townships that in 1881 seven
townships spent no money for out
door relief and that one township
spent as much as S6.75 per capita.
The average cost to taxpayers in
creased from s1.79 in 1881 to 1898 in
1882. Federal aid makes figures later
than 1882 incompatible, the report
states.
The range Of expenditures to the
number of persons receiving aid from
counties was found to be from S2.l9
to S2l92 a person relieved in 1921,
or a ratio of one to ten.
The report concludes with a state
ment. so apparent has been the
need for changes that within the
last two years a number of revisions
have been made on an emergency
basis. without legal changes and with
full knowledge that the present alb
normal setup is but a bridge to
something else"

The service was discontinued in

there IS a time for public dental
care It is now"
The greatest trouble comes to
children in the sixth year, he said.
At this period the first permanent
molars are susceptible to decay and
should receive treatment.
DR.. Morgan cOntended that de-
cayed teeth are the foundation for
maladies that come later in life,
such as rheumatism and heart

IF we can prevent more serious

garding fees for burials of paupers.
Increased prices for burials pro-
posed by undertakers brought a
threat from officials that they would
go outside the county for the serv-
ice. However, undertakers point out
that the cost in all likelihood would
be the same, as funeral directors of
Indiana in general are operating
under a code.
Formerly, the price for burial of
an adult was $50, and for a child
$40. A new schedule provides for

this role also is expertly handled.
Here is a fine and sincere actress
who knows how to make a character

"Hide-Out" is a fine date night

good theater of the make-believe
type which always is popular on the

Some of the comedy in this one

There are some human situations
