O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all thè earth! Balancing Things —he Loyal Order of Americans, organization trying to counteract thè Ku-Klux Klan, grows rapidly. Quite naturai, bv thè law of cause and effect. Every action has an equal and'contrary reaction. And an organization-for always brings into existence an organization-against. Just a question of time until they cancel each other. It is possible .that thè Loyal Order of Americans will become more powerful than thè Ku-Klux Klan. Maybe It will blot thè klaq out of existence. Then would come a thfrd' organization, to counteract thè Loyal Order of Americaifs? Nature has a shrewd way of keeping everything balanced, in thè long run. A politicai party comes into power witli opposition crushed, thè field. to itself. But things soon change. Opposition sprouts up. grows until it wrests control from thè old leaders. Democrats and Republicans follow each other in an eternai cycle, though thè r.ames thè parties change as tne centuries slip by. Nature ioves a certain normal. She insista on it. Aliene ver humanijjy gets either above or below that normal, nature starts evening things—restoring bf.lance, equilibrium. The cycle of destruetion and restoration of baiance is what keeps men, collectively, busy from cradle to grave. This naturai law seeros harsh to thè visionaries. It seèms equally harsh to thè conservatives. The law of baiance works inexorably in all human lives. When you get too happy and contented. move cautiousjy, for thè chances are that you are “riding tor a fall.” And when you are down in thè niouth and everything goes wrong, keep heart, for nature soon will restore thè baiance and bring happiness, thè reaction from misery. The sharpest razor dulls itself in shaving, and has to be 6harpened again. is lise. Finger-Printing All of Us IN nino out of ten cases.'the guilt of criminals is definitelv estabiished by finger-prints. So claims James F. Bishop, addressing a convention of Identification experts. Impre3sions are now being taken of cows’ noses for Identification purposes to replace thè old-fasliioned branding methods. Insurance companies admit they have been done out of thousands of dollars on insured cattle because there was no means of accurately determining whether a dead or lnjured animai was thè one insured. In thè next few years you’ll hear and read a lot : about thè advisability of finger-printing everybody in America. It Is thè only forra of Identification that cannot be forged or mistaken. And there should be no more objection to having finger-prints on file with thè government, than giving your name to thè census taker. Finger-prints defend more peoplq than they convict. Papas in Society MILLIONS of girl3 sigli enviously. Abby, daughter of John D. Rockt-feller Jr., is “formally introduced to society" in New York. A rich debutante is always pursued by fortune hunters. Miss Abby, being thè richest society girl in America, will have to decide thè perplexing problem, “Does he love me for myself alone or for my money? Why envy her? On thè night bis daughter is introduced to society John D. Jr. is scheduled to attend thè dedication reception of a chureh. He refuses: “Wall, that’s too bad. We are going to have company a:'thè house this evening and I can i come." No matte? how rich or how poor, “thè old man” in America rarely takes “society” seriously. It’s a woman’s game and he usuailv has to be dragged out. We 11 gamble that Papa Rockefeller wound up in a corner, talking oil. Our Shrinking Streets VT yIDEST Street in thè world is Stuart Street, in BalrV laret, Australia. It’s from 200 to 264 feet wùde. How come? James Oddie, pioneer, recalls. He says that in thè old days traffic was by drays with as many as 24 bullocks to a “team,” and roads had to be made wide to enable thè driver to tura. A man who moved from Indianapolis to an Eastern city a score of years ago, returned thè other day for a brief visit. “1 have always carried in my mind thè j

Glemenceau’s Valet Fulfills Stage Idea Americans Have of Typical Frenchman

By NORRIS QUIXN XEA Service Staff Writer EX ROUTE WITH CLEMENCEAU, Dee. 1. —Two things are indispensable to Georges Clemenceau—his gloves and his valet. The gloves are black ones and thè former premier ahvays wears them, even when he's eating—at least when he’s eating alone in his private car “Bethlehem,” lent him by Schwab. The valet is Monsieur Albert Boulìn who speaks but one language, French, and on but one subject, Clemenceau. Boulin is what thè stage has taught Americane to regard as a typical Frenchman. He has dark brown curly hair and a little brown mustache that curves upward at thè tips. He always wears a vest of lighter sha.de than his coat and trousers resplendent in row of glass-like buttons. And he carries a bright green handkerchief in his upper coat pocket. He bows often. He takes oif his hat snappily whenever voq speak to him—or upon any other pretext. “Oui, oul, le premier,” saysì Boulin, “I go all around thè world With him —sweet France (ah.’). thè yest of Europe, India, and now Amèrique. “Here I am so confused. I worry •C.. Diable! In New York I get lost. 3 Jtry to. flnd thè premier and his

idea that Indianapolis had wide streets," he remarked, “but it doesn’t seem so any mro.e High buildings and parked autos have changed thè appearance oL thè city wonderfully.” American cities now are discovering that they laid their streets out too narrow. Partly responsible for i traffic congestion, like a small hall in a crowded hotel. There should be a tip in this for Indianapolis city 1 planners when it comes to cutting new thoroughfares or to those who lay out new subdivisions. It is conceivable that a century or two from now thè/city of Indianapolis may occupy most of Marion County.

Have you noticed movie wedding reports always i say—again? Oliver Mape of Los Angeles fell off an 84-foot uiff and walked away, but it is a very bad habit. !n London, a man and woman were married twioe thè same day. The strange pari is they married each other both times. Airplanes make it possible to a dress in Paris and wear it in London before thè style changes.

But, Dieu, thè premier he already has retired. And witnouf thè aid of Alberti Ah, monsieur, quel desastre!” Then Albert jumps up and rune to thè window of thè private car and looks nervously outside. He does that every five minutes. Why? He doesn’t know. Then Albert pulls from his pocket a straight-stemmed briar pipe, cranis it full of tobaceo and starts pufting nervously. The pipe goes out every two minutes but Albert lights lt a gain. Master a Hero "Oui, I have heard ‘no master ls a hero to his valet.’ But le premier, he is different. He is my greatest hero. He is a reai tiger. "Yes, I sometimes leave my bed at S in thè morning to help him dress. But what cares Albert. “Le premier he is full of la sympathie. He —” Albert rushes to thè window again and looks up and down thè railway yards. “I remember once an elderly widow was looking for a pension. Her son he was killed in thè war. She went to one Government bureau, to another bureau. Everywhere they tura her away. "Le premier he hear* of it. He calla her to him. He gets her pension.

here? Why. thè charged water! Some times ’’ But Albert has heard a noise in thè other end jf thè car and he has nereously rushed forward to learn Us cause. The little valet is as great a hero to his master as his master is to him. That has been especially true since Clemenceau soli a prey to fever in India two years ago and Albert nursed him back to health with thè tenderness of a wonian. Clemenceau has granted his valet’s wish to hear all his speeches and sometimes he permits Albert to sit on thè platform tbough thè valet understands not one word of thè speeches which, of course, are delivered in Eng listi.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Stage Star, Disguised, Is Given Same Reception as Neophyte Seeking Job.

(In Blx storie Josephine Vari de Grift has told her experiences in sechine a stage job in New York, posine as a giri from thè Middle West. Today, to conclude thè series, Madgo Kennedy, stage and film star, show* that theatriea! agende do not even recognize reai talent when it is masked under old ctothes.) By MADGE KENNEDY Film and Stage Favorite NEW YORK, Dee. I.—Every ycar hundreds of giris write to me. The glst of their letters is nearly always thè same: “I’ve got a Job out heie, but l’m not happy. I've always been crazy about thè stage and I know I could act if I only got thè chance. Please, Miss Kennedy, help me to get on thè stage.” Over and over I have had to teli these giris thè same thing: “If you have a job, stick to it. The stage isn't what you think it is. There are thousands of giris like you. The one thing avvaiting most of them is disillusionment.” Have I known what I was talking about? I always thought so. And now. aster an experiment I made at thè request of NEA Sei-vice. I am sure of it. * I got into a blue serge dress. a coat three seasons old, put on a soft sporta hat and. forgetting I was Madge Kennedy for thewtvhile, I made a tour of thè theatrical offices and meekly pleaded for a Job. How Madge Fared This is what happened: Three office boys informed me that their superiora were absoluiely inàccessible. An equal number of nice, kind hearted girla said they were sor ry but there wasn’t a thing doing thè casts for So-hnd-So’s ehows were all fllled and he wouldn't be doing anssrtilng more until aster Christmas Over At thè People's Vaudeville Agency a number of men were standing about. They looked important and I vaguely hoped that one 6C them might. be a manager or something and would notice me. They did. but lt was with absolule lndlfference. Timidly I made my plea to thè elderly woman behind thè desk. But lt scema I had come to thè wrong office —they werfe doing no casting there \ I tralled up to thè office of Pauline j Boyle. It was a very severe person 1 indeed who was presiding over thè desk. "No." she said stemly, “there is ! nothing—nothing at all." I looked at her appealinglv. 1 let ! her have thè full benefit of my face, but in thè look which she returned j to me there was not thè slightest 1 flicker of recognition. So —this was it. I was Madge j Kennedy whom certain little giris out in thè West regarded as a succesa on thè stage and screen. But Madge Kennedy, without her name, without make-up, without pretty rlothes—that was another mattar. She might have talent hnt lt would take many weary weeks of trailing from office to office before she would be given a chance to show lt. Recognized by Steno Altogether I went to some eight or ten agencies, avoidlrg only one or two where I was certain to he recognized, and not a soul knew me—no one, save a little stenographer in an office that had nothing to do with theatrical agencies. The feeling that had come over me was not one of thankfulness that thè little masquerade was over, that T ready had a and was protected nrid cared for.

I.—Hardboiled politicians in both parties are stili studying thè e’ection retums. Those who thought that thè populatlon of thè United State was made up of Republicans and Democrats thought at flrst thè Democratic party had won a tremendous victory. Now they wonder. If thè Republicans beat thè Democrats to it in thè rush for progressive leadership, it may turn out to have been a Republican victory. At flrst, thè New York and New Jersey Democratic victories loomed up big. There was talk of Al Smith for president, and Edwards for Democratic senatorial leadership. Some enthusiasts predicted a Nation wide wetness in 1924, with prohibltion thè big issue. Reàults eisewhere don't suppori that sìze-up of thè situatlon. So far Republicans have thè Jump on Democrats in thè grab for progressive leadership. Leadership is thè Democratic party’s toughest problem.
