GOOD WILL RACE , STILL MYSTERY TO SCHOOL BOARD Report of Superintendent Graff Fails to Classify All Activities, Good will in the Good Will campaign conducted recently in the public I schools did not extend to the school board. Uncertainty as to just what happened in the campaign was as great today in the mind of Adolph Emhardt, member of the board, as it wsa a month ago when he first demanded that E. U. Graff, superintendent of schools, investigate the affair. After wrangling for more than thirty minutes Monday night over the report of the superintendent the board adjourned without taking definite action on it. Graff Reports. Graff reported that he had found no instances of intentional violation of rules, that there was misunderstand- j ing on the part of some school princl- ; pals of certain matters, and consider- i able confusion regarding the rules ex- j isted. He thought the rules should j be clarified and recommended that a ] be named to revise them, j " The recommendation was approved and Graff, R. O. Johnson, business di- j rector, and Frank B. Ross, attorney for the board, were named as a com- j mittee to undertake the work. “Unless 1 am dense I don’t know any more about these activities than I did before,” Emhardt said. “I don't know whether cakes, paper and tickets were sold. I wanted information as to details of the activities. I cannot understand why there Is so much secrecy about all these activities.” Charles E. Barry', board member, termed the use of the word “whitewash” as an insult to the superintendent. W. D. Allison, board member, said he had heard nothing of any violation of hoard rules. # “You were in California all winter and couldn't hear of it,” Emhardt answered. Laborers’ Pay Increased Laborers employed on school work will be paid 40 cents an hour in the future instead of 30 cents, the olu rate, as a result of a recommendation by George H.

‘Commandments’ Movie Stirs Up Discussion

By JACK JUNGMEYER Hollywood, cai., May 9. Cecil B. De Mtlle's film version of the Ten Commandments, now being starred, promises to stir wide controversial reaction among churchmen and laity. Already reams of comment and question have piled up about the scenario which De Mille and his script writer, Jeanie McPherson, have evolved from the Injunctions of Exodus. “Just what are you going to do to the Decalogue?”l asked “C. F.” who at the moment was eating graham crackers and milk at a cafeteria counetr. "I’m going to show,” he said, “that the Commandments are precisely as applicable and as valid in our modem business office and drawing-room, our parks, pews, studios and boudoirs, as they were when the stone tablets crashed in wrath at the feet of the Golden Calf revelers. "I will seek to show in a dramatic story that they' have their authority, not as an occult pronouncement, but because they’ are the epitome of common human experience, the ethics of the ages. Producer Has Daring Idea Back of Move “I want to smash home the fact that It isn’t a nebulous hell which punishes the violator, but that he gets it in the neck right here. You can’t break the Ten Commandments. They break you. “That’s the theme of the picture. It is to be handled reverently’, but not from the narrow religious angle. I should have considered it a fruitless undertaking If I hadn’t been sure that the rb-calogue could be expounded with all Its modem implications In a human story of universal appeal. “It can’t be done Insipidly. The Ten Commandments are strong meat and I shall present them as strong meat. Used as a mere ritual, they have too often been served as thin soup, lacking nourishment for moral growth. “The high lights of the Book of Exodus will be presented just as they are written, from the burning busn to the Red Sea. This wUUserve 8 * sort of a prologue from which the modern story proceeds, cutting back to the picturesque and herplc epoch of Moses and Ramesls II from time j to time, to preserve the parallel. “Practically all the other command- ! ments are rotoed in the seventh Covi etousness Is at the bottom of most i moral dereliction —the predatory self- | Ishness which man undertook to curb | when he abdicated his Individualism lln favor of social being. Theft. Cor- ! rosive hatred. Adultery’. ManslaughI ter. How Will De Mille Handle Seventh Commandment? “Speculation has (’entered mostly on j how I’ll handle the seventh commandj ment.

any gigg.ing. Folks will go away sobered by it, or I miss the punch. “It may very well be that the censors will disagree with me as to whether the Bible as it Is written, and must be logically translated to modern application, Is fit for public presentation. I shall be curious to see which one. If any, of the commandments censorship may tag as unfit. “You know the revel about the golden calf was no censorship party! “Tens of thousands of young Americans are going through adolescence into the stern and tempting problems of life without even having read the seventh commandment, much less comprehending It. How then shall they obey it who do not understand the inexorable punishment of its violation? “I hope my' picture will show with full dramatic force how Inevitably the ten commandments will break those who seek to break them. That is my purpose, and I hope no partisanship will mar the chance for such undertaking.” •I- -I- -I* Eddie Foy to Be at- Palace Thursday The famous Eddie Foy and the Younger Foys will top the bill a.t the Paiace starting I'hursday.

LOS ANGELES JAIL BREAK FRUSTRATED Messages Between Desperate Prisoners Intercepted, Bu United Pres * LOS ANGELES. May 9.-—A plot whereby Herbert Wilson, alleged manufacturer of the Wall Street bomb, “Little Phil” Alquln, International desperado and other prisoners were to shoot their way out of the Los Angeles county jail, has been discovered and frustrated. (The plot was unearthed with discovery of Jail messages which were passed between “Tuffy” Reid, a mur-

der suspect, and Wilson. According to the prisoners plans, revolvers were to be smuggled in and the three men were to fight their way to Liberty. One of the messages was: “Are you willing to kill about four turnkeys if they stand In vour way?” The answer was: ”1 will kill them all if they don’t io as I say.” Y. M. C. A. BUYS ANNEX ADJOINING MAIN BUILDING The Y. M. C. A. has bought from the Flanner & Buchanan Realty Company a four story brick building adjoining the Y’s main building. Consideration was about $350,000.

THE Standard Oil Company (Indiana) stands before the public squarely on its merits as an organization of service. In directing the affairs of this Company, the management is animated by ideals of justice, fairnesrand equity to employee, consumer, competitor, stockholder and the general public. 9 Because it insists that the rights of all should be safeguarded, the Company has prospered and has taken its place as a leader in an essential industry. To achieve commercial sjccess, profits are necessary. Profits can come only through liberal patronage of the buying public. This public will not patronize an organization whose methods are unfair or unjust. Continued prosperity comes only to the Company which renders a superior service and sells honest mer* chandise at an honest price. To every fair-minded observer it must be obvious that 1 ndreds of thousands of people are patronizing the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and are doing so because they have found by experience that the service rendered by this Company is reliable and that the goods it sells are uniform and dependable, and that its prices are consistently fair. Figures recently published by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce show that one-third of the automobile registrations are concentrated in the ten states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) —yet, the price of gasoline in this territory compares favorably with that in any si miliar section in the world. This low scale of prices is attributed to the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). By its ever increasiegpatronage the public places the stamp of its approval upon the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana.) The acknowledged efficiency of this Company is due to the unfaltering loyalty of its 27,000 employers; to the high ideals of service which the management has inaugurated and insists upon maintaining; to the unequalled facilities which this Company has provided for carrying on the business. The loyalty of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employee is based upon the knowledge that this Company recognizes the rights of the worker to Bteady employment at good wages; to a liberal annuity plan; to protection against accident, and to opportunity to invest in. the Company’s business on favorable terms. Because of this efficiency, recognized and approved by the public, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to pay to the stockholders a fair return on the capital invested, and to build up a sufficient reserve to enable it to expand its business to keep pace with the public need.

BUSINESS MEN URGED TO GET INTO POLITICS Business men are needed in politics to assist in curbing radical tendencies. State Senator Arthur R. Baxter said at the Rotary Club luncheon Tuesday. “The voters are anxious to have business men run for office,” Baxter said. “My own experience demonstrated that to me beyond a doubt. There were fifteen candidates for State Senator whan I waa one, ana there is no question in my mind that the five selected were the best men in the whole bunch. Four of them were business men.”
