= ANOTHER VOGUE

ITO the deadliness of the species add a
Il feminine complex which mere man can
not anticipate, define or control.
Observe the movement started by Mrs.
Lucy Cotton Thomas, lady who mows quite
a swath in New York social and civic affairs.
Mrs. Thomas publicly charges hairdressers
with artifciality, hypocrisy and extreme cost
illness, has shaved her head and announces as
a vogue the wearing of wigs of colors to har-
monte with ones gowns. Bald wives wigged
to match their costumes. 1t is vogue to be
squelched early, though it take the whole
United States standing army to do it.
Friends, husbands, fathers, particularly
husbands, consider we'll the possibilities Night
times you look from your bed across to the
one near by and there glows female ostrich
egg reposing upon the pillow thereof, The
bald mistress of the household buys dress of
blue and right in the depression, one gets a
blue-head companion for his bosom; or red
dress and one gets a f1ery-headed hslpmate;
or, greeny green being popular at this time,
one can picture oneself induging in social
functions with ones employer present to think
contumely things about one having green
haired wife: and, of course, with a checkered
costume jig-saw puzzle wig.
No possibility of such a vogue? HUH You
have another guess at the withersomeness of
the female complex The more aged and ex-
perienced readers of this readily will recall
not too remote period when the enormous,
outrageous pannier became pandemic with
the female of the species.
AS the writer recalls it, that monstrous
contraption hitched on behind the female
form divine went into the discard because no
woman, certainly no lady, could ride bicycle
harnessed so posteriorily. Happy the thought
that the popularity of the lowly bicycle is
being revived.

PRICE OF SELFISHNESS

THE desire to make financial killing is
u one of the most natural and understand
able Of all human emotions - especially in
times like these. Nevertheless, there are cases
in which it can be a disastrous thing.
The federal government recently prepared
to spend 100000 on a slum clearance pro-
gram in a large manufacturing city. 1t had
all its plans made; but now it may have to
abandon them altogether, because the owners
of the land involved are holding out for high
prices.
Owners have let this property deteriorate
for years." says one government official, land
in many instances have neither received any
income from it nor kept up taxes.
THE fact that owners have done nothing
would make it appear that they considered
the land worth exactly nothing but now so
many Of them want speculative prices that the
city will lose the expenditure of 100000 I'M
less right prices are found in other places"
1t would be hard to find clearer instance
of the runous price community can be forced
to pay for individual Selhshness.

We have taken The Times for
many years, and we like the way the

get better break.

"HuTah for Dillinger." I say the
same, although our bankers and
politicians don't agree with us.
Dtllinger is butting into their racket,
but with different method.
Dillinger, at least, is a man. He
goes out and gets what he wants,
and doesn't hide behind political
job as some of our politicians do

DIR. BUTLER ON PEACE

THOR the moment at least the war scares or
Il Asia and Europe seem to have passed. In
the Far East observers report that the danger
of a Russo-Japanese conflict has been post
poned: they add that American recognltlon
of Russia has been potent peace factor In
Europe there is increasing nationalist unrest
in most countries but Hitlers failure TO rope
Mussolni into close alliance has divided the
international forces of FasciSm sufficiently 10
minimize the threat of war this year
These brighter prospects, however, are SUI
perficiaI. The basic causes which produce wars
continue to exist. Unless there is enough
craftsmanship in the world to remove those
causes, eventual war is inevitable.
DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler i'm his foreword
to the annual report of the Carnegie EndoW-
ment for international Peace, appeals Tor eX-
tension of the Kellogg pact and other peace
machinery along the lines suggested by Pres
ident Roosevelt in his Wilson day address Dr.
Buffers warning is especially timely because
he stresses facts usually overlooked in the pop
ular opinion that peace can be based merely
on peaceful sentiment A nation may desire
peace. but if it refuses international co-opera-
tior and if its economic policies are destruc-
tive of the interests of others it will contribute
to the war forces.
The American cotton planter and wheat
grower. the French farmer, the Italian, the
German or the British manufacturer, to say
nothing of the agricuturists and industrial
lists of Belgium of Holland, Of Scandinavia, OF
Poland. of Czechoslovakia, of Austria, of Hun
gary or of the Balkan states, can not possibly
find markets for their products or quick and
adequate transportation thereto without that
international cooperation which will establish
a stable international monetary standard and
which will everywhere bring about sharp
reduction of tariff barriers and the removal
Of restrictive administrative trade regulation"
DR.. Butler reports.
THAT economic nationalism which is still
running riot and which is the greatest OBJ
stacle to the establishment Of prosperity ana
genuine peace has been at its height during
the past twelve months. If it now shows signs
of growing weaker it is because its huge cost
is beginning to be understood"
Though the Roosevelt administration is
making effort to revive the political machin-
erv of peace and disarmament, it can not
effectively help to stop the tariff war which
we started until congress passes the tariff law
requested by the President.

TO STOP EVASION

THE fight to keep utility companies from

representatives. Representative Hatton Sum-

which, over his protest, reported a substitute
instead of the johnson BILL will lead the fight.
He will be doing utility companies service

proved the need for the proposal contained
in the Johnson bill if private ownership of
utilities is to hold its own against steadily in

Roosevelt and passed by the senate, would
take from corporations the right to choose

jan friday night when it was Suddenly dis
Covered That prisoner had escaped several
hours before the other inmates sat down for
the evening meal

county. He has added another unpleasant

nave prevented Joe Tragresser, deputy sheriff,
from entering the beer business Immediately.
Mr.. TragresSer was guarding the rear of
line OF ten prisoners en- route from criminal
court to the jail. That was Friday noon.
Mr.. Lay, apparently dissatisfied with his
position in life as a member of the chain
gang" is said to have squeezed his hand
through a handcuf and strolled away from the
very portals Of the county jail.
Later-much later-Friday afternoon, when
the inmates were ready for supper, it was dis
covered that Mr.. Lay was no longer a member
Of that jolly company. The reaction at the
Jail must have been very similar to the skipper
who discovers half of his passengers have
jumped overheard several hours before the
tragedy is discovered.
John Boyce, chief jailer in defense Of the
administration, offers this statement:
This is only the second prisoner to escape
since Sheriff Sumner took Office
Why, Mr. Boyce, should any prisoners es-
cape? Why, Sheriff Sumper, is it necessary
for you to be firing deputies because they are
not competent to perform their duties?
Don't you think officials of Marion county,
that the time has come when prevention of
incidents such as this would be much wiser
than the hurry and furry of executive dis
charge orders after the crime has been COM
mitted?
Sheriff Sumner is quoted as saying he knew
nothing about the incident until Saturday 1t
seems rather odd that the man who must bear
the blame for this situation is not informed
of the trouble that faces him until the damage
is twenty-four hours old.
Mr.. Tragresser said several days ago he
was going Unto the beer business Sheriff
Sumner discharged him and he now is in the
beer business.
It appears though, that the citizens OF Mar
ion county suffered before the beer business
gained.

TEACHERS OF GENIUS

rr~t5E news that the man who taught Colonel
Il Lindbergh how to fly was dying pennl-
less, in the Cook county hospital at Chicago
embassies the odd way life has of submerg-
ing the instructors of the great.
This man. Ira Bifle, was for years one OF
the army's greatest teachers. He showed scores
Of vouths how to manipulate the "Jennles" OF
war days.
He gave Lindbergh his lessons, as Lind
bergh himself says in his book, We Al one
time he had fortune estimated at $1OOoou.
And finally he landed in a county hospital,
broke, nearly blind, dying in obscurity' his
identity discovered only by chance. The only
relieving circumstance is that Lindbergh and
others of his former pupils have contributed
to brighten his last days somewhat
It makes one wonder, somehow, just what
happens to all the other teachers who have
taken young genius in hand and showed it
how to operate the tools of genius chosen
profession.
Back of every great man, if you look far
enough, there is a teacher-sonewhere. Genius
makes it's own rules and finds its own way,
but before it starts it must find some one who
can touch off the spark, some one who en-
ables it to use the capabilities with which
God has gifted it.
These teachers don't become famous. Most
of the time we never even hear of them
except when, like Ira Bif1e, they call our at
tention to fate's irony by dying in poverty.
But we should like to know more about them.
What unknown and long forgotten British
army officer, for instance, first showed that
young stripping, George Washington, the in
tricacies of military life, taught him how to
handle men, and thus started him on the
pathway that brought him to leadership OF
the Revolutionary armies?
What instructor in English first showed
ardent young Edgar Allan Poe that words
properly chosen and properly fitted together
can make poetry of rare beauty
What teacher fired the minds of Mime
sofas Mayo brothers so that they got a
glimpse of the kingdom that awaited conquer
ing in the field of medicine? What high
school mathematician helped steer Albert
Einstein into his destined career? Who first
showed Henry Ford that fiddling around with
machines can be an absorbing and fruitful
calling?
We lack the answers, of course, in most
cases. But these teachers, unsung and for
gotten, deserve a bigger share of the worlds
applause than they ever get.

JAZZ MUSIC AND
THE PART IT PLAYS

BY Jimmy Cafouros
Sometimes it occurs to one what a
rapid development there has been in
jazz music.
Recall nine or ten years ago
the jazz orchestras of that day. A
tenor banjo, a bit of a cornet and
plenty of trombone with all the
slides incidental to it. a merciless
drumming, tynpanic defamation
of cymbals and triangle and chimes
and dull thuds.
The only instrument that can be
recalled to have given a fair quota
Of satisfaction was the piano.
The music often placed one in a
dilemma, and he had one deuce Of a
time trying to discern between what
was melody and what was almost
melody.
But time changes things. Jazz is
here and it is rooted firmly. Jazz
most lucidly and accurately marks
the tempo of the public spirit. One
who wishes to pSychoanalyze (what-
ever that Isl the public, needs only
to study the music of the period.
At any rate, there are alternat-
ing cycles of sophistication and sim
plification, saXOphone RACES, piano
cyclones, crooner cataclysms and
boop-a-doop days. Remember
Stormy Weather" and Moonlight
Saving Time" They mark an era
during which time the public is en-
raptured of these melodies and their
countless satellites.
The public never would have APP
preciated the very recent highly
sophisticated and intricately synco-
pated rhythms and turns of melody
were it not for all that went before.
Today we call the orchestra a
band. 1t gives more or less COM
pact, solid effect. The addition of
the tuba, the "civilizing" of the saxo-
phone, the high, sweet notes of a
steel guitar, sometimes an oboe for
remote effects. the pointing up" of
the violin have made the modern
band get into any person who is
human.
Feet start tapping, eyes start
dancing and the nunt for a partner
is the climax.

composed of much sterner stuff.
AS evidence, the dispensing Of po-
litical patronage is supplemented by
the handling of the state beer rack

2 and 4 per centers, etc.
Indiana has been a notorious and
fertile field for "mine-run" Gov
errors during recent years-offhand
we recall McCray, Jackson and now
McNutt.
1t is indeed disappointing to those
of us who were told that McNutt
would be a Hoosier Moses-that he
had everything it took to lead us
out of the depths of political incom-
potency, What a left-handed lead
we have had!
In my opinion McNutt has be-
come punch drunk" with authority
and dizzy from the dreams of his
political aspirations. It is rumored
that he has high hopes of being our
President-some day-maybe.
This hallucination may be the
propelling influence for his flying
hither and thither seeking out
school teachers conventions to
charm with his platform manner.

mdiana's comedy of errors has
become another tragedy as the lat

Instead of placing the entire
