Salesmen for “Business Week,” a New York publication, have been working here for a week or so selling the weekly
at ten dollars a throw.
Their chief selling point here is a series of articles based
on Robert Lynd’s famous book “Middletown,” which depicts
sociological conditions in Muncie ten years ago.
We glanced over two of the magazine articles and offered | event, beating Mauri Rose, also of to bet a hundred dollars to a dime that Professor Lynd, who Dayton and Columbus, to the finish was given a chair on sociology in Columbia University as a ! line by 300 yards,
recognition of his great work, had no part whatever in pro-

As a matter of fact we think Professor Lynd should add another chapter to “Middletown,” offering as exhibit A the “Business Week” articles as indisputable proof that the. Ethiopian has not changed his skin nor the leopard his spots,.

Combining comedy, songs, dancing, music and decided novelty, Russ Ferris and his “Broadway Vanities” will*open a four-day engagement Sunday at the Star Theater, while on the screen Peggy Shannon will appear in ’ “Back Page” described as a most entertaining newspaper story. Featured in the cast of “Broad way Vanities” are in addition to Russ Ferris, Chuck Wilson, who will dish out a rich vein of comedy patter.

An Anecdote About the World War
Which is Supposed to
Be True.
Darby O’Malley and Lanty Mu!arkey were old friends and had bill j recently arrivea from the old counit ry when the World War broke out. They enlisted in the U. S. infantry, and it was not long after when they were on their way to France. On the trip over they discussed the possibility of being killed or wounded, and they finally agreed that if either of them was wounded, the other would carry the injured party to a safe place in

You may talk to the citizens of almost any nation and you will discover that few individuals are desirious of war Yet the : press of many countries are filled with “jingo conversation” and there ] is little doubt that the munitions ] interests are at the bottom of that^i
warlike talk.
About t-he best that the ordinary citizen can expect to receive is the worst of it, in case he goes to war; I and two or three generations of ; taxpayers are usually burdened by j payin for the arms and munitions used to wage that war. Of course, it would be a poor excuse of a man who would refuse to fight if our country were invaded, but wise citizens should carefuly analyze the motives of the gentlemen who call upon them, in the name of patriotism, to take up arms and go abroad to mix in for-
eign brawls.
You will usually discover that those super-sensitive patriots will be in their various offices puffing perfectoes and counting dividends, while you are doing the fighting. But they may come down to train to wave the flag and bid you Godspeed on your journey to the hell
at the front.

Workers, farmers, storekeepers, professional men, industrialists of all kinds, will smile happily on reading that. It means thousands of potential jobs, a vast jump in western purchasing power, a tremendous field for selling services and commodities of every kind and shape—from legal knowledge to groceries. And it likewise means revived lax income for government. The outlook for mining is better than it has bean for many years. That, in turn, considerably improves the outlook for recovery in general.

A melange of feminine pulchri-; tude will engross most of the scenes 1 in the picture which opens at the Rivoli Theater, Muncie, next Sunday, to continue through Tuesday.. This splendid array of feminine, beauty is under the laiiel of “Mur-', der at the Vanities.” When Earl Carroll went to the j west, coast to produce his show for photographic purposes, he took 11 of his girls from the New York j show. In addition to the presentation j of the famous feminine beauties,] the picture “Murder at the Vanities,” boasts of the appearance of! Victor McLaglen. Jack Oakie, Kitty Carlisle. Carl Brisson—a new British star—and Duke Ellington and] his widely known dance band. The appearance of Duke Ellington is his ; first in a feature length picture, and for many years he has been known as having the orchestra which ere- j ates ihe hottest rhythms. On the same program along with: this feature presentation, will he; seen another “Amos ‘n Andy” car-j toon. Those cartoons are 10 min : utes in length, with the voices of 1 the famous black-face radio come-j dians in the background.
