PUTTING "ft jyONTE CARLO and Alma Sanders, authors of TUT \/| “Tangerine,'’ to which Indianapolis is being ACROSS j.V 1 treated this week, have obtained the use of King Tut’s name for a show and already have written the music and lyrics. Foxy’manufacturers also are preparing to spring hundreds of King Tut fad articles on you and the rest of the public—the Tut-Ankh-Amen cigarette, “Tut pups" to bring good luck like the Billiken, Tut bracelets and anklets and what not? In Washington the patent office is getting ready for a deluge of applications from manufacturers who want to use Tut’s name on wares. Frederick Martin Burns, an Eastern promoter, as far back as Nov. 30, applied for Tut trade marks in fifteen different industries—bathing suits, music, clothing, dolls, umbrellas and so on. To sew up Tut’s name for fiction purposes Burns wrote all night finishing up a 6,000-word .story. “I don’t know anything about writing fiction." Burns says, “but 1 know how #to protect myself for my purposes by throwing in plenty of love, mystery and red-blooded material. ” Vincent Lopez is playing Tut music with his famous Hotel Pennsylvania orchestra, New York. He has sent a rush order to Egypt for copies of the sistrum. ringing and chiming instrument found in Tut’s tomb. Watch the jazz bands pick it up. It’s a great age we re living in. Study the impending Tut craze and you’ll learn about infectious emotions, the mob spirit and our instinct of imitation which links us with the monkey. LAST OF rrftHE passing of silver-tongued Buiirke CockTHE ran recalls that orators are all too few in ORATORS X Congress and that oratory is rapidly fading into a lost art. Master of rhetoric, possessor of a magnificently trained voice, Coekran was one of the supreme sophists of the generation. His oratory has made him a national figure in Democratic affairs for more than forty years. Coekran typified the very spirit of Tammany Hall, the old, unreconstructed, unregenerated, reactionary Tammany, and it is to be regretted that his talents were generally wasted on the wrong side. Yet he was a great orator, one of our country’s greatest, as even his opponents concede. INSANE A NEW YORK woman has her husband arrestBOOZE / \ ed and brought into court for failing to proBUYERS 11 vide for her properly. She tells the judge she has cheeked up and found that Friend Husband spends 40 per cent of his wages for bootleg booze. It’s still possible to buy liquor in any community for any one feeble-minded enough to pay the price. Ts the average customer of a bootlegger would spend an hour contemplating what he pays for this firewater and compare it with his salary or wages, it might occur to him that lie’s “not all there’’ mentally. Paying $lO to S2O a quart, or more, for whisky is insanity in the first degree. Any drunkard would have admitted it—before prohibition. PAYING widow of F. W. Woolworth had an inFOR come last year of $696,652. Most of it came THE WAR -ii from the 5-and 10-cent stores. This is revealed in a New York court —also the fact that income tax took $251,597. While this left Mrs. Woolworth $445,055 “to the good.” the size of her income tax shows that being rich is not quite as at tractive as it used to be. Also that the wealthy are digging down in their pockets to help pay for the war, the same as the family of small income which indirectly pays taxes when it buys things. The income tax is thei fairest and most sensible of all taxes.

Times Correspondent Says Real Story of Ruhr Is Tragedy of Extreme High Cost of Food Stuffs

By 808 DORMAN NEA Service Camera Correspondent. HERNE, Germany (Territory . of the Ruhr), March 7.Bernhard Riehl doesn’t know what it is all about- , Bernhard spent four years in the trenches. \ He didn’t know J| /"**'<. /***s. what that was about, either. He i '"v e ts only knew that the war ended 8 and that he was EL sa^e an< * ° ou '^ -/Tj return lo his wife and and ildren. DORMAN There were seven of those children then. There are nine now. Bernhard thought that with the war ended he could work and enjoy the simple pleasures that were his before a powerhungry monarch attempted to conquer a world. Hut—Germany didn't pay. Bernhard doesn't understand that, **it her. High finance is- out of hfs line. Plaster and mortar are all lie knows. Suddenly the blue uniforms ho knew so well six years ago were all around him. The French had occupied the Ruhr in order to make Germany pay, he was tolil. What that meant he didn't know. But ho did know this —that while ! as wages uunpi'd 290 per cent, everything he bought Jumped 300 to COO per cent. Today Bernhard gets 1,000 marks an hour and works forty-seven hours a week. His total pay for the week is 47.000 marks. Os this he must pay to the government 10 per cent, leaving him 42.300 marks a week to support his wife and nine children (about i-51 a v-'-ek, a.-cording to exchange rates at this writing). Here i Bernhard’s menu for the day for himself and family: BREAKFAST: Bread, margarine, chicory “coffee." LUNCH: I’ea soup or i<otnfo soup, or bnn soup and bread. DINNER: Potatoes, bread, Jam. There are millions of Bernhards In Germany. _ The upper classes live In luxury. The Bernhards—the masses of Germany—herder rinse on starvation.
