BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

AS the first production of its
twentieth season, the Indianapolis
Civic theater, under the direction of
Frederick Burleigh, presented A
Church Mouse" in the Playhouse,
Saturday night.
The play itself is poorly construct
ed and weak except for the momen-
tary support of several scenes where
the lines are convincingly witty.
The f1inlsy plot is hung about the
shoulders of the chief character. a
Baron Thomas Won Ullrich, and the
heroine, Susie Sykes.
Upon the whimsical fancies of the
baron in the fairy princess-like i'm
agination of Susie, his secretary,
arise the two elements which form
the battle ground for the rather
puerile evolution of the play.
The two elements are love and
duty, or more commonly and posi-
bly,, more aptly. business and pleas
ure.
The Civic cast can not be blamed
for the faults of the play.
"a
the baron, was more than satisfac-
tory. He kept up the swift pace
required by the part, almost
throughout the entire play. The
swiftnesS of pace may have been
the reason for the Interpretation
seeming a bit monotonous.
Gwendolyn Schort did unusually
well for a f1rst-timer. Her char
acterization of the ambitions little
church mouse" who slipped into
the baron's Office and subsequently
into his heart, was, for the most
part, convincing. Her fault was in
making the secretary a bit too
STACEY and too heroic, faults which
might lead to a hurlesque-interpre-
tation of the part.
Kirby Whyte was good in the part
of the barons brother, Frank. He
played the role with an acceptable
amount of suavity and poise.

When redecorating the room,

coating to use.

DROP REPORTED
FOR JOBLESS

The total number of unem-
ployed workers in April, 1884,
was 1907, 900, according to an
estimate of the National Indus
trial Conference Board. This is
a decline of IA per cent from
the March total and 4O.1 per
cent, as compared with March,
1888, when unemployment was at
its highest point.
Unemployment in manufactur-
ing and mechanical industries
declined GIL per cent from the
peak of unemployment in this
group in March, 1888. From
March, 1888, to April. 1884, the
number of unemployed workers
in other groups decreased as fol-
lows: 54.8 per cent in trade,
29.7 per cent in domestic and
personal service, 14.S per cent in
the extraction of minerals, and
Ill per cent in transportation.
The following table shows the
number of unemployed workers
in the various industrial groups
in March. 1888, March, 1884, and
April, 1884.
Workers employed through the
Public Works Administration are
counted as employed. Emergency
workers employed under Govern
ment auspices, usually part time,
in lieu of direct unemployment
relief are counted as unemployed.

GRAIN ALCOHOL
PRICES CUT

Producers of grain alcohol used
largely in blending whisky have
reduced prices to 43 cents a proof
gallon. This compares with a
price of about so cents a gallon
previously and 60 cents in March.
There has been no formal pub
lished price for grain alcohol,
sales being generally matter of
contract.
Reduction in price has been
due to the decline in demand
for blending alcohol due to the
greater popularity Of low-priced
whisky. Producers are now turn
ing their grain alcohol plants
into whisky plants.

the dollar is worth. In some vague
way, the fact that the government
holds lot of metal is to reassure
MS.
The President thinks converti.
bility is unnecessary.
2. It is essentially a fiat theory
OF money. The President talks
about the monetary value" of
metal as though it were entirely
different from other value. The
whole scheme is just another
government "price-fixing" propo-
Sition.
The market value of silver IS
about As cents. But the Govern
ment with our resources is to
pay 641a cents for some, SO cents
for some more, and more later.
Then is is to call it all worth
$1.29.
One object seems to be to pay
US in cheap silver certificates,
which the Administration will
say are worth a dollar when in
reality they are worth only As
cents.
Already the SMART New
Dealers are buying silver at As
cents, which they will palm off
on us as dollars. When a gov.
ernment becomes insolvent, as
ours is, it is apt to resort to
monetary schemes like this.
3. ultimately" the scheme
means a further depreciation OF
our money. They are going to
give us overvalued silver certifi-
Gates. They are going to dilute
even the vague metallic base"
we now are alleged to have, by
mixing it with silver taken in at
a price" far above its actual
value.
You see, they won't give us
gold certificates. Why, then, put
out silver certificates? Th e
answer is plain-they want an
''adequate' currency, VIII c h
means a currency that will en-.
able them to get something for
nothing. In earlier times, the
monarchs just clipped or debased
the coins.
The whole message is most
diScouraging. The vague and
indefinite language is typical
of political juggling and insin-
cerity. 1t is a new political
"deal." IF we are going to
initiate and debase, in Heavens
name why not do it in a
Straightforward way?)
The message shows the same
Mns0und and shallow notions
ON money. The President still
imagines that our troubles are
largely monetary, and that they
can be cured by such things as
buying gold or doing something
for silver. He still favOrs a
managed currency" and rails
ing the price level, which he
now disguises by talking of
"mOre equitable level" of pur-
chasing power.
There is the same old patter
about a broader metallic base" !"
and "sound but adequate cur
rency," to which is now added
Fstable but equitable"
The President says we already
have abundant metallic reserves.
which is true. Why, then, add a
lot of silver?
He says we have a "maladjust-
ment" in our currency. But what
is it? How can the addition of
silver certificates correct any
maladjustment. if there be one?
He advocates a tax of so per
cent on speculative profits on sill
yer. Why allow any such profits?
If they are bad. take all. If they
are good, let them alone.
AS an economist, I consider
bimetallism and Symmetalism
both unsound and impracticable.
But If we must experiment" with
them, say, let's do lido it
openly, frankly, directly. and now.
The country is sick of uncer-
tainty, and this stalling, hedging,
and trimming will make it sicker.

each other. the woman going 50 far

abouts so that they could assassinate
