DORALDINA, THE DANCER STARRING IN PICTURE Doraldina, known far and wide for her daring interpretations of unfamiliar Hawaiian dnnees, is the star in “Passion Fruit", the Metro production which conies us the feature attraction tu the Mecca Theater, tomorrow. This wonderful creature who was so idolized and popular on the stage with her hula dances, brings to the screen both a superb gift for acting and a marvelous dancing ability. Not only that, but she introduces into the picture many strange dances of the South Sea Islands never hitherto seen. One is a religious dance, called "Dance of the White God", a weird, original movement used by the superstitious natives as part of their ritual. John Ince directed this adaptation from the original story by Carey Wilson. 'file supporting cast includes such striking figures as Edward Earle, Stuart Holmes, Sidney Bracey, Florence Turner and William H. Bainbridge. Tile scenario was written by Edward Lowe, Jr., and photography is by Rudolph Bergquist. The special art interiors and efforts were executed by John Hughes.

FUNDS FOR THE RILEY STATE MEMORIAL Indianapolis, April 17.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —From all parts of Indiana offers for assistance have come in the campaign to raise sufficient money to provide a permanent endowment for the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Hospital for Children This is to be a state institution, open for the free treatment of afflicted children from any. county in the state. Letters already received memorail hospital committee tell of the willingness of Mr. Riley’s admirers to serve in this campaign in any capacity. Some of them have asked permission to help raise money while others have sent their contributions directly to the committee. Because of the enthusiastic statewide response to the appeal in the behalf of Indiana's unfortunate children a state committee is being chosen to take charge of the organized solocitation of funds. Announcement of the make up of this committee, the county chairmen and other members, will be made within the next few days. It has been decided that Marion County shall raise $700,000, or one-fourth of the total sought. Tentative quotas have been agreed upon for the other Counties in the state. The quota for Adams County is $12,000. While large contributions will be welcomed, as they will tend to shorten the endowment campaign, the committee will be grateful for any sum. no matter how small. Members of the committee hope to make the endowment fund representative of all the people of the state. The pennies of the schol children, the dimes of little boys who have recited Riley's poems and the dollars of those who are unable to give more, will—when multiplied by the entire population of Indiana—raise a large sum. The appeal. as voiced by Secretary of Labor Davis who spoke at the Indianapolis meeting last Thursday, is for the donors to honor themselves as well as the memory of Riley when they give in! the name of humanity.

WE MUST KEEP IN TUNE Editor Democrat: One of our fluent metropolitan newspaper correspondents who writes entertainingly on current events has developed quite a talent for writing along the lines of religion «nd science. One of his literary harpoons read like this "C. G. McKenzie, from the theological seminary, is told by Presbyterian authorities in Jersey City that he can not be a preacher because he admits that he does not know exactly where hell is, or just what happens there. That will please W. J. Bryan. He can tell you that it is directly under foot, with Darwin, Huxley, Haeckel and Walace sitting in the middle of it. Satan personally managing the fire that burns beneath them. Kepler, Copernicus, Newton and Gratileo are burning forever, nearby and the lamentations never to end are musical to believers." Now the above would not be so bad if the above harpoon would hit Bryan or fall at his feet but millions read the papers that are already prejudiced and they surely can not get one square inch of truth out of this paragraph upon which to base a single fact. There are just two forces working in the universe. Constructive and destructive. We can not be controlled by both at the same time. Man is a free moral agent and has the will power to choose between these two forces. They are known by their fruit. No rational man objects to proven scientific truths. How can a scientist prove from whence a single blade of grass derives its vitality? How can a psychologist tel! from whence the brain derives a single thought? The dynamo just generates eleci tricity. It does not manufacture it. . How does the scientific man know that the entire universe is not filled . with thought waves just like it is ' with sound waves or electrical cur- ' rents. The sound wave and electrical waves are -recorded by instru- ? ments that are in tune with them. r So are thought waves and spiritual r currents. If we do not get these waves it is because we are not in i tune. A beautiful illustration of this could have been seen a few days ago when your own mind recorded a . thought that came to you from somewhere in reference to this orphan’s home. When you made this known you found that the air of the town was surcharged with the thought of “Let little children come unto Me for such is the Kingdom of Heaven.’’’ The thought is divine, and that is the reason why that you could see so many banners of the different churches, lodges and secret orders standing side by side under the devine impulse of the moment. This spirit will stay in the community if the people work with it. No better work can be one for this community than that of following up as your paper is now suggesting. If you publish the construction sentiment of your readers it will add momentum to this cause. Go down to Fort Wayne and you will find three large religious hos--1 itals, that are using science to further their cause. This is right. The Christian religion can use science but science can not explain spirit. The dog can wag the tail, but the tail has neither the brain nor the power to wag the dog. W. J. ARCHBOLD.

Democrat)—Thirty thousand inhabit- i ants of Monastic and vicinity are re- ' poreted homeles today as a result of the terrific explosion of a munitions train, which caused the death of hundreds of soldiers and many children. The explosion was at first reported has having occured at Salonika. Later dispatches from Belgrade showed it took! place along the railroad running into Monastic.
