between the Oklahoman, the Pom
ca City News, and the Kansas
City Journal, Arch came to The
indianapolis Times. That was in
1923 and he started on the copy
desk. Soon after he was shifted
to general assignments and his
work now consists in the main of
feature stories.
A RICH during his newspaper
"a career has been in one tight
spot after another. While in
Oklahoma, he dug up some infor-
nation on murder there and
published the facts in an attempt
to force the county attorney to
indict the person Arch believed
was guilty.
Irate. the county attorney or
dered Arch's arrest for contempt.
But Arch was covering an inter-
state commerce commission hear
ing in the federal court building
and while in the courtroom was
immune to arrest.
Arch wrote his stories on the
third floor of his newspapers five
story office building and had an
office boy rush the copy into the
editorial rooms. Then, each day,
he would sneak to the federal
building, enter through the judges
chambers and take his place in
the courtroom.
Sheriff's deputies stood outside
in the corridor, peeping through
the door, and cycling him, every
once in while holding war
council.
They couldn't arrest him in the
court room, for that was federal
government territory, and the
canny Mr.. Steinel didn't intend
to enter or leave by any other
means but the judges private
stairway.
With the county attorney biting
his fingernails, the paper finally
= turned Arch over to the county
attorney. The latter got Arch in
to his Office, locked the door and
then gave every evidence of
starting the third degree.

With Arch's attorney pounding
at the door, the attorney finally
unlocked the door.
He forced Arch in front of The
district judge. The district judge
heard the evidence. Finally lie
ruled.
There could be no contempt, he
said, because no court proceedings
were involved.

mayor as his part of the graft.
During a fight, Eddie is escorted
out of the city by the crooked
mayor. He is struck on the head
and imagines that he is an ancient
Roman.
Eddie discovers that the guards
Of the emperor were as tough as
some modern traffic cops. Then
for nearly an hour Eddie has one
adventure after another in old
Rome.
He always is getting into trouble
and getting out of it. One of the
funniest scenes in Roman
Scandals" is where Eddie teaches
the emperor how to shoot craps.
This scene is a comedy gem and
done in the best pop-eyed man
ner of Mr.. Cantor.
Of course, Eddie's hot bone
Shootin' fingers almost make the
emperor not only broke but a
fit subject for a nudist colony
The story becomes melodramatic
as we'll as burlesque when Eddie
is the royal food and wine tester
for the emperor, who fears that
his life is being endangered by q
plot. The old boy didn't know
that his royal wife was the one
who wanted him poisoned.

But suppose the Dillinger gang

Nobody will touch those dimes"
said Arch. They belong to the
kids"
And then there are the people
who read The Times just day or
so before Christmas.

Many Changes Taking Place

subject to no law, but their erratc and very
alert dislikeS
But it may have been noticed that many changes
taking place in the country at this time and it
would not Startle much to observe along with the
other changes that the citizen, including the
defendant has earned a right to speak and conduct
himself in a natural manner toward the court and
to resent insulting or bullying conduct from the
bench without any risk Of being thrown into Jail for
contempt of court.
1 have knowledge of judge complete with all
the customary powers of oppression who in the days
when he in private practice, put physician on
the stand to swear that his patient had not been
injured in accident, alleged but dying Of
tuberculosis. The physician ordered off the
stand by the presiding judge with mention of the
word perjury and the patient in dozen years since
that time has evinced no symptoms of tuberculosis
He has recovered from his injuries. II
it should befall this patient to appear before this
attorney, who is now judge himself, it should be
right, think, to allude to this incident and to
press belief in open court that his honor once
connived at something which impressed another
jurist as false testimony under oath.
But under the present circumstances, that would
be very foolish thing to say. The judge without
any necessity of going into the facts of the matter
which affect his fitness TO sit any bench, would
throw the subject into dirty Jail for long
time to teach him respect for judge who may de-
serve no respect.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

NToMEN have better chance of living through
w to ripe old age than have men
OF course the death rates among both men and
women in the last half century have decreased. so
that their expectancy of life at birth has risen until
now 1t is approximately SOS years for men and 6O4
for women.
The reason for this encouraging progress is the
significant change that has come about. during the
last fifty years in the diseases that affct mankind
and the causes of death
Since 1850 the number of persons more than so
years of in proportion to the total population Of
the United States has just about doubled.
What has effected such great changes in the
population has been practical disappearance Of
TYPHOID YER malaria. and smallpox as conditions
affecting considerable number of people.
THERE has not been much change in the NOR
IL tally from scarlet fever and measles, but We
have coed reason 10 believe that the application of
the newer knowledge that has developed particu-
larry in relation scarlet fever will result in real
improvement during the next twenty years.
AL over the world 1t has been noticed that the
number OF deaths from tuberculosis has declined At
the same time. the tendency to deaths from heart
disease has been upward and this particularly in
people in the older age groups.
Deaths from cancer also have seemed to rise cor
respondingly.
Massachusetts, has death rate records dating as
far back 1853. These show that the expectation
OF life at birth slowly in that state from 1889 to
1890. but since then the rise has been rapid
But the present expectancy of life at birth is
about the most that can be expected, unless new
conditions arise which are not now apparent
Indeed. the new conditions which may develop
might result in ofsettng of the gain that has
been made an example here being the increase in
deaths from heart disease among persons Of adj
vanced years.

TodaY's Science
. BY DAVID DIETZ -

VXTHEN George Bernard Shaw called Professor
w Albert Enstein a universe maker he summed
up in a phrase the reason for the great popularity
of the German scientist. From the days of the
caveman mankind has been trying to solve the
puzzle of the universe. The early mythologies
marked mans first attempt to understand his en-
vironment.
To ancient man, the universe a disconcerting
place. full of caprice And so, to explain the phe-
nomena that went around him, he peopled the
heavens with the gods and goddesses of Mt. Olym-
pus.
1t was another universe maker who wrote the
story of Genesis trying to account for the origin Of
the cosmos. More precisely, it two universe
makers for as every student of biblical literature
knows there are two stories of creation in Genesis.
The first one starts with the majestic opening
sentence of Genesis and to Chapter 2, Verse 4
where the second account begins 1t is the first ac-
which tells Of the creation of the world in six
days, but it is the second which has Eve being
ated from rib of Adam
1T is interesting to trace the steps in mans uni
yerse-making. From the start, he naturally
assumed that his earth was the center Of the uni
verse.
1t is possible to reconstruct the biblical idea Of
cosmogony from a reading Of Genesis. The earth
great fiat plain. The sky an actual vault
or ceiling over the earth
When it rained, it was because the windows Of
the sky had been opened, permitting the waters
which were above the armament to leak through.
Similar simple cosmogonies were developed by
other ancient peoples. The Greeks in the time OF
Homer, for example, not only imagined that the
earth was the center Of the universe, but that
Greece was the center of the earth.
The ancient Indians believed the earth was sup

Eddie Cantor Suffers the Life Undened Grocery Clerk and
Is Hero the Emperor in His Ne1D MoUe Roman Scandals

Cantor walk, or strut, as he sings,
this number.
The thing that I am going to
remember is the whirlwind finish
of the Roman scenes where Eddie
is forced to escape with the hero
and the heroine in a chariot.
From a mechanical standpoint,
this chariot scene is the funniest
and the most thrilling in which
Cantor has appeared. Slapstick
comedy is introduced, making this
scene a laugh sensation.
OF course Eddie comes out of
his dream, arrives back in his
home town, exposes the crooked
mayor and becomes a hero.
IN a torch song manner of de-
l. livery, Ruth Fitting puts over
a striking song, "No' More Love. :"
By overdeveloping this number,
the director is able to make the
sensational slave mart number
one of great exotic beauty, charm,
and even tragedy.
Her voice records splendidly,
and she fits well into ancient cos
tunes.
The cast which supports Cantor
includes Gloria Stuart, David
Manners, who makes a most noble
and grand looking Roman; Ed
ward Arnold, Verree TeasdaIe and
others.
This is Cantor's and the di-
rector's triumph which is a gift
toward grander and bigger movie
