Times PRAISE
OF RED PLAY
|RKS CHAILLAUx
Surprised Legion Official
Tells RotarianS in
Address.

Homer L. ChaillauX, American
Legion Americanism director, IS
distressed that The Indianapolis
Times published a favora bic review
Of Waiting for Lefty" a play pre-
sented here Sunday.
Branding the drama as the latest
Communist play Mr.. Chaillaux
told the Rotary Club yesterday aft
ernon, I was surprised that The
Times glorified this Communist
play"
He told his audience that many
people unknowingly harbor the
continuation of the Communist pro-
gram by attendance at such plays.
In his speech, which Legion
publicity writer limited would be an
expose of I'M mericanism in Indi-
ana, Mr.. Chaillaux revealed that
Waiting for Lefty appeared in IT
dianapolis, that there were 40 OBJ
jectors to bill outlawing the Com
munist party in Indiana and that
5000 Communists voted in Indiana
at the last election.
DenOunces Tom Mooney
Among other things proving
that Indiana was infested with
those who turn to an alien, god
less government" were that John
Mooney, brother of the imprisoned
Tom Mooney, spoke here, that the
International Labor Defense is or
gained here and that the National
Student League, an avowed nom
political society, has a chapter at
De Paw University.
Mr.. Chaillaux was greatly alarmed
that Communism was corrupting
the youth. He explained that he
had attended the American Youth
Congress, a non partisan body, with
a press badge and had borrowed"
from the chairmans brief case the
minutes of the meeting.
He also declared and proved with
exhibits that he had borrowed other
material from a University of Chi
cago bulletin board and from Com
munist headquarters in Washing
ton.
Mr.. ChaillauX dismissed the Tom
Mooney defense committee as "a
Communist racket" and denounced
Mooney.
Scores Radical Speakers
Mr.. Chaillaux urged that the
public take action to prevent rad
ical speakers appearing here and to
push passage of laws restricting i'm
migration.
The speaker, who said his father
was a Frenchman, declared that a
large section of the foreign-born &C
cept the advantages of the United
States without taking over the re-
sponsibilities OF citizenship.
When Mr.. Chaillaux attempted
to disguise himself and circulate
through a Communist library in
New York he was recognized by
clerk whom he termed "a lousy little
Communist girl"
She told him, Mr.. ChaillauX said,
that he was one of the rs most
hated men in the United States. He
told the Rotarians he thought this
an honor.

ber Of men without hesitation, yet de-
cline to use violence against woman.
Thus even the most vicious of criminals
invariably can find friends to testify to
their "moral character" and it is con-
fidentiy sfi1rmed that, as Robert Louis
Stevenson is supposed to have said:
There is so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it ill behooves any of us
To find fault with the rest of us.
Seriously, the problem Of civilization
appears to be that Of governing the
ethical line. Where 1t is adjusted in
consonance with social principle society
has saints; where it depends upon tenn
persmental whim society has sinners.
The thing to be desired is a wish in the
heart Of the individual to stay within
the straight and narrow path which does
not lead to trouble.

A Warning to Coaches.

When a. father shoots high school
foot ball coach and then turns his gun
on himself because his SON has been
dropped from the team there can be no
doubt that sport has become highly
important feature of education. At least
from the parental viewpoint. In this
case, which is just reported from Louisi-
ana, the incident which led 10 the
tragedy occurred last year. The boy
was excused" from further duty with
the foot ball squad because of an alleged
breach of training rules-Which covers
multitude of sins, but usually means
indiscreet indulgence in stimulating
beverages. 1t would appear that the
affront to the family honor rankled in
the fathers mind for more than year.
Some student of psychology should in
Vestigate this case to determine, IL pos
sibIe, whether the real grievance of the
parent was the inSinuation against the
students behavior or his deprivation of
a chance to shine on the gridiron. Ger
tain it is that in many American homes
today the fact that the family's repre-
sentative in the school and collegiate
life is a member of the foot ball squad
is the source of the greatest possible
satisfaction, compared with which the
taking of honors at graduation is of
little consequence. Photographs Of

Proper Drainage Needed
on Constitution Avenue
on L

To he Editor of The Star:
If the authorities want to make some
work and blow in some money they might
consider putting gutter alongside the
sidewalks between Fourteenth and Sew
enteenth on Constitution avenue, where
one should have been dug when the side
walk was laid.
For many years this section boasted
the worst sidewalk in the city and that
is saying something. Recently new
walk was laid with no way of draining
off rain water which ran on from ada
cent property, which would have been
a violation of law had it been private
property, and the condition further
aggravated by making the parking a bit
higher.
Recently hundreds OF loads of dirt have
been put on the adjacent squares to the
south so that there are now three blocks
aggregating some 20 acres draining across
the sidewalks. In light rain there is
plenty of mud and water to wade through.
In a moderate rain the stretch is i'm
pasSable to the thousands who travel
it daily, unless boots are worn. And the
taxpayers paid plenty of money to get
this bum engineering construction.

The North Pole has a fairly moderate
climate compared to this tiny village of
log hutS in little valley surrounded by
high mountains. There, during the Win
ter of 1888, record low of -899 F. was
recorded. The mean January tempera-
ture for four years has been -683 F..
whereas the mean for VerkhoyanSk is
only about -60
During the Summer months the mean
temperature for the two villages is almost
exactly the same, about 40 degrees above
zero F. The Winter difference. it is
claimed in the report, probably is due
to the fact that there is no break through
which the colo air can escape in the rim
of high mountains surrounding Oimekon.
The extremely low temperatures at
the earth'S cold pole are due to the fact
that during the Winter masses of cold
air settle in the mountain basins. There
is reversal of ordinary conditions. On
the mountain tops it is much warmer
than in the valleys.
*
One day last August a farmer living
near New Haven made an excited call
TO the Yale biological laboratory.
All the fish in a shallow, spring fed
pond on his land were jumping out of
the water or leaping on the rocky shore
to perish. Before the day was over every
fish in the pond was dead. More than
100000 of them were floating on the
surface.
Thus was brought to the attention of
biologists strange and rare phenomenon.
There was no trace of poison in the
water, but analysis showed that it was
entirely devoid of oxygen. The fish
couldn't breathe. How the pond water
suddenly lost its oxygen is a mystery,
but a plausible explanation is offered
in this weeks issue of Science.
1t followed day of heavy rain and
a sudden drop in temperature. Great
quantities of decayed vegetable matter
had been washed into the pond, at no
place more than feet deep. This, in
some way, had absorbed all the oxygen
from the water.

Civilizing Savages.

Premier Mussolini probably never
heard of Thomas Belt, but it might serve
excellent purpose if he were to consult
his book, 1.-The Naturalist in Nicaragua"
published in 1874, and still worthy of
careful reading for the light it throws
upon problems which have not ceased
to trouble mankind
The author was practical man, an
engineer by profession, who spent most
of the forty-five years of his brief career
touring the world in the interests of
science. He Travelled in the British Isles,
Russia, Siberia and the Kirghiz Steppes
as we'll as in North, South and Central
America, and everywhere he went he
recorded his impressions and expert
ences In clear, concise and compelling
English. Those who enjoyed his ac-
quaintance found him "an accurate and
intelligent observer, possessed Of the
valuable faculty of wonder at whatever
is new or strange or beautiful in nature
and the equally valuable habit OF seek
ing reason for all he saw"
But some of the conditions he discov-
cred in Nicaragua were anything but
beautiful" and he dipped his pen in
acid when he essayed to write of them.
I'm destroying the ancient monarchies
of Mexico and Central America" he says,
the Spaniards inflicted an irreparable
injury on the Indian race. The

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

"GuSto" is good word.
AS meaning the sest, enjoyment with
which something Is done, 1t applies to
reading as well as living.
A sudden violent rush Of wind-a burst
of rain, fire, smoke, sound or passion
such is a gust, ordinarily.
These words as allied to gush, a sud-
den, copious stream, often used as q
figure Of speech to indicate effusiveness
or even sentimental affectation.
The good word "gusto" as applied to
reading indicates a certain vividness of
Imagination with which the reader goes
through book.

imaginative work.

This reading vividress is sort of
physical attraction, as far as mentality
can be called such.
1t is something, alas, which many
readers lose in middle age or later years.
Others, like Moses, never lose this ma
tural force, but read their entire lives
as if each new book were the first in
what was to be a long reading ex-
perience.
One has but to recall childhoods vivid
days to understand the difference in
reading attitude which may endanger
the later reading life.
That this Is a life separate in itself
and not always hitched up to the every
day is easily seen. 1t is one of the
privileges of reading that this may be so.
Just as not every one can visit far
lands and climb the highest mountains,
so few persons are able to tie their actual
life to their reading life in every detail.
One of the joys of reading is that it sell
dom can be done. Books, in other words.
offer even the most intelligent more
than he knows. They bring to the most
adventurous more adventure than he can
encompass. They give the brave more
bravery, the good more righteousness,
the alert more alertneSS.
No man can be so spry as TO have been
every place that the writers OF books
have been.
1t is one of the distinct pleasures Of
the reading life to find each season some
totally new writer of vivid quality. with
an absolutely new and different ap-
proach to life.

The Ethical Line.

Careful students of human behavior
ethical line in the makeup of indi-
vidualS. Psychologists are trained to
observe its effects, but they have not yet
reached any agreement concerning its
basic nature. A kind of pattern of action,
it never may be comprehended perfectly.
Yet the routines of conduct which it
manifests may be catalogued with
approximate accuracy.
For example, consider the case of
James Gardini and Felix Mayeski. They
were arrested at Spring Valley, Ill, and
held in the local calaboose awaiting trial.
Days came and went. Then, at last,
they were hailed into court. Before
Mayor-Judge Tonelli they admitted their
misdemeanor. But their plea of guilty
was accompanied by one for mercy on
the ground that, had they wished, they
might have escaped from the lookup
and thus avoided punishment. The
