Confederacy, under the direction Of
Mrs. Carlton Tslley, will present a

in Washington, will write the script
for the show and the songs and jokes
will be both national and localized.
Besides, on the day Of the roundup,
there will be programs of speech
making and a general celebration in
preparation for the 1886 campaign.
After all is over, the donkey banks
will be returned to their former graz
ing fields ready to catch stray penny

Mrs. James H. Wolfe, chairman Of
the women's division of the National
Democratic Committee has sent out
a bid for jokes and stories for the
end man. 1t looks as though the
ladies were trying to get ahead of

Senators, Beware!
1886 Is Leap Year.
There is something terribly fascinat-
ing about leap year and the poSSibili-
ties outweigh the risks in the long
run. With dancing men so scarce
in the Capital and the blaSe youths
who wish to appear satiated with
balls and parties remaining on the
stag line, the loss of so eligible a
bachelor as Senator Tydings of Mary
| land will be felt. But take heart, for
there are as good fish in the sea as
ever were caught, and that charming
Georgia cracker, Senator Russell;
Senator Joseph Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania, Senator Rush Holt of West
/ Virginia, and lesser fry in the Lower
House, are still possibilities.

Speaking of night clubs: Regula-

were very different from those under
discussion at this time for the locali-

licenses to KEEP public houses were

Is q question whether this was for
Ahe purpose of exercising sort of

PennSY Files Protest

The Pennsylvania Railroad Today
served notice on state and Fed
eral highway authorities that it did
not see Why it should be obliged to
share IN the cost of future grade
crossing elimination work.
The railroad management takes
the position that since thousands
more motor vehicles than trains use
these crossings daily the cost Of
doing away with these traffic haz-
ards is one which should be borne
entirely by the automobile owners
through state and Federal taxation.
James D. Adams, State Highway
Commission chairman. said the rail-
roads pronOunCement would nave
little If any effect on the present
100000 crossing elimination pro-
gram being carried out by the COM
mission with approximately $1,000
600 Of Federal relief funds ear
marked for the work in Indiana.
Under our state law the cost of
the crossing elimination has been
shared by the state and the railroad
on a $3.50 basis, Mr.. Adams said.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-08-06

Since we have been using Federal
Work-relief grants for the projects,
however, the state has assumed the
entire cost except for the designing
of underpasses, which is done by the
road"
Mr. Adams pointed out that even
under the state law many railroads
we're unable to provide their share
of the cost because of their poor
financial condition, and the state
was obliged to finance the entire
project or take no action whatever
He said, however, that he was not
certain he could agree with the rail-
roads statement as a declaration of
future policy since, if the railroads
were to show pronounced finan-
cial improvement they would be able
to bear their share of the work.

ARLISS MAKES
FUTILE TYPE
OF IRON DUKE

Mr.. GEORGE ARL1ss' most re-
A'A cent impersonation Of George
Arliss. Q valuable historical document
entitled 1.-THE Iron Duke" Is carrying
forward the traditions of the. foreign
cinema and British cricket this week
at the ,Bel&sco Theater, where the
epCchal events Of the Hundred Days
unfold coyly before the cameras eye.
Unlike most of the ArliSs excur-
sions into celluloid, THE Iron Duke"
lacks even the faintest note of con-
vtction in its central character. The
pageantry Of Q frenetic era overshad-
ovs every cute mannerism Of the Great
Magoo Of historical films, and 1t is
only occasionally that the greatest
military hero of the last century
(every one forgot Napoleon or called
MIN names when he succeeded too
welD shines forth more impressively
than the balls, battles and interna-
tional chickering's in which he ID In
volved.
Because Of the tremendous import
Of its background, however, THE Iron
Duke" possesses an inherent dignity
OF which 1t cannot be robbed, not
even by the scriptwriter's idea that
wellington was a sentimental old flirt,
wont to make cracks about "the sport
ing thing" in the midst Of bloody
battles, and withal the little white
sister Of charity in European politics.
The great assemblies Of generals,
emperors and other bedizened gentle
men it depicts are very handsome and
solemn to behold, and the Battle of
Waterloo-which must have been
darned confusing for everybody con-
cerned II it approximated the screen
version-no doubt Is something you'd
rather not miss.
More interesting than the celluloid
duke. the war, and all the unbottled
Bourbons rolled into one, Is O neat
little Highland fling performed at the
Duchess Of Richmond's ball on the
eve OF the big tussle. You'd never
imagine there could be such chocolate
soldier goings-on just before q few
thousand men went out to get them
selves blown to bits, but no doubt
there were. what with the bagpipes
hooting and the shakoes shaking and
all that. Makes q grand scene, that
f1inging. Such an amusing way to
prepare to die.
