OF WORKERS PARTY ATST.PAOLCONFAB Insurgent ConventiQn Delegates Admit Third Internationale Allegiance, By liOWELL MELLETT Times Slnff Correspondent ST. PAUL, Minn., June 17. —Senator La Foiiettes political wisdom seemed to be confirmed when the “Na tio na 1 Farmer- Labor-Progres-sive" convention opened Tuesday morning. The convention with which he refused to have any connection was found to contain among its accepted delegates a certain number who might properly have registered from Moscow. Led by \\ illiam Z. Foster, C. E. Reutherberg. Joseph Manley and C. A. Hathaway they frankly stated their alligiance to the third internationale, but were accept'ed notwithstanding. Directly, they represent the workers party, which is affiliated with the Russian communists organization.* The organization committee of the convention headed by William Mahoney, secretary of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor party, held that under the terms of the call for the convention the worker's party delegates could not be excluded. Fear Effect This decision was reached Regretfully by most pt the Farmer-Labor members of the organization com mittee. They fear the effect upon the progressive movement in their various States. There was some talk of allowing Foster et al to sit only as representing the trades unions of which they are members, but it finally was decided that this condition should not be enforced. So the communists, forming per- i haps one sixth of the total number of delegates, are ready to help decide the-course that shall be taken with\regard to the formation of a ‘third party.” Their desire is that a new national party incorporating I their own sh;ijl he born here before j the meeting adjourns. Most of the j Farmer-Labor delegates appear to j oppose this action. They want to see formed, instead, a national com mittee prepared to help State pro gressive movements wherever found. This committee would be authorized to indorse" La Follette for President if he announces his candidacy. It j might or might not indorse some [ other name in case Lie Follette does j not. Want ‘Third Party" The communists for the most part I have refrained from expressing any opposition to La Foflette’s name. It they can obtain the formation of a j “third party” they probably would ! not object to having La Follette j made the candidate. This is a mat- J ter of policy with them. Opposition ! to La Follette is hopeless here. What- j ever else Foster and his friends may | maneuver the farm delegates out of, they can t win them away from their | purpose to help La Follette’s race j in some fashion. Once in a while one of the com- I munists, smarting under the lashing j given by La Follette, expresses his j real feeling. Joseph Manley, son in- | law of Foster, gets mad and % ills La Follette a “Quitter" and other such pleasant names, but for the most part his companions succeed in living up to the pretension that La Fqtfette suits them perfectly. FIRE LADS’ PAY LOW Indianapolis Scale Under 52 Other Cities in Country. According to a survey of fifty-two cities, ranging from New York to Superior, Wis., a city of 40,000, In* dianapolis firemen are paid the lowest wages. Fourteen States are included in the survey. An organized movement to increase the pay of the city firemen and electrical workers has reached the city council. Mayor Shank has urged increase in police pay. Privates of the Indianapolis fire force receive $1,734 a year, compared to $2,500 for New York and $1,920 for Superior, Wis.

*Sl n occasional dost of DR. CALDWELL’S \ SYRUP PEPSIN B MsJi Kelps young girls fii

False Modesty THE young just assuming the responsibilities of a woman is very apt to be self-conscious of her physical functions, and in consequence neglect them. There is co time, however, when it is more important for her to look after them. Chief among her troubles is constipation-, and her suffering will be serious when she gets older if she does not regulate her bowels now. Mrs. Mary Kellar of 132 Benton St., Sisterville. W. Ya., was perplexed about her daughter until her own druggist told her they used Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at his house, and she did likewise. Miss Irene Mazierska of 90 Peter St., Buffalo, N. Y., is glad her attention was called to Syrup Pepsin. Safe for Young and Old Let mothers with growing daughters interest themselves in this matter and see that their

judgment is enforced. A rule followed by many is to take a spoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin once a week until the bowels function daily, and at such other times as there is headache, biliousness, sores and I

Atom's Actors Triumph in ‘ O'Brien Girl;' Good Revival Is Made of ‘Charley's Aunt'

By WALTER D. HICKMAN 1 j. v j\ E have had our opportunity IVv "° su PP° rt Milton Aborn and I 1" his large musical comedy company at Keith’s for the past four weeks. The sad fact remains that Indianapolis has not bought tickets in sufficient numbers to warrant an allsummer’s run. * I have not been officially informed as yet that the musical comedy season is rearly over at Keith's, but ; f this is a fact, we are going to miss r he.se players when they leave town. The productions for musical stock have been excellent, but the failure has been that enough people have not supported this worth-while institution. After you see the Aborn production of George M. Cohan's “The O’Brien Girl" at Keith's this week, I am sure that you will agree with me on the artistic worth of this company. When I saw “The O’Brien Girl,” the audience heaped much deserved applause upon the singing of Loretta Sheridan and the dancing of Eleanor Edson. In the well-known canoe number, which was beautifully handled from a scenic' standpoint. Miss Sheridan was given the biggest ovation of the season. She has a beautiful voice and the role of the little stenographer who becomes a “society” girl for a few brief hours fits her ,talents. Miss Edson has a dancing role in this show and she has no trouble in getting more than the needed applause for honest encores. The chorus works better in this show because they are called upon to do much dancing. The cast is as follows: Mrs. Hope—A Pointer Virginia Kenny Alice O'Brien—A Girl. . Loretta Sheridan Joe Fox—An Ind’an Guide . . Erie Titus Laurence Patten—An Art Publisher. ~ William White Humphrey Drexel—His Partner ~ - • Joseph Monahan Mrs Drexel—-His Wife.... Edith Bradford rTlo’.sp Drexel—Their Daughter . - • * Eleanor Edson Larry Patten—Just Out of College... Charles Massinger Wilber Weathersby—General Manager for Patten A Drexel Lee Daly "The O’Brien Girl” is a dainty treat. _ N If you fail to visit Keith's this week you are passing up a grand and glorious opportunity to see and hear glorious entertainment. At Keith's afj week. ‘ *!• -I- -!- SOME THOUGHTS ON AN INTERESTING REVIVAL When a play, nearly thirty-five years of age, can make a modern j audience laugh many times I am about ready to admit that there must be something to it. Brandon Thomas wrote “Charley's Aunt." and it has been presented on the stage for nearly thirty-five years. This week the Murat Players is pre senting this old-time farce at the Murat." After you see this play you will know why it has existed all these j years. The laughs are there. It is a light play, at times approaching ; the burlesque'stage with tons of ho- ! kum. but the laughs are there. One of the secrets of this play is \ that it doesn't look Its age. Female i impersonation is quite an "art" nowdays with certain entertainers. And this impersonation idea is the backbone of the plot of “Charley's Aunt.” A young English nobleman plays the role of Charley’s aunt. Harold Vermilye plays the role of the “aunt” and he walks away with the show. This man has personality. He knows how to put a laugh over the footlights and this play gives him a good comedy chance. Vermilye plays the role in the right manner. He doesn't take his skirt wearing seriously. He is just in masquerade, jolly masquerade at that. Clever, mighty clever work, Vermilye. The work of Jessamine Newcombe as Donna Lucia D’Alvadores also stand out. She received an ovation when she entered. Richard Thornton also received applause when he first entered. This is proof that the audience is getting acquainted with the members of the company. The cast for “Charley’s Aunt” is as follows: Jack Chesney Claude Kimball Brassett Duncan Pen warden Charles Wykeham William E Watts Sir Francis Chesney.... Richard Thornton Lord iFancourt Babberley.Harold Vermilye Kitty Verdun Dana D.sboro Amy Spettigue Genevieve Addleman Donna Lucia D Alvadorez Jessamine Newcombe Ella Delahay > Julia Cobb Stephen Spettlgue Tom Williams At the Murat all week.

A dose can be given in these conditions to any member of the family however young or old as Syrup Pepsin is a simple compound of Egyptian senna with pepsin and pleasing aromatics, and perfectly safe. Public Recognizes Merit You will quickly see the difference between a mild laxative like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and castor oii, or rough cathartics and physics. Syrup Pepsin acts gently and does not gripe. Increased doses are not necessary. A bottle can be had at any drug store, and a spoonful costs less than a cent. It has been successfully used for thirty years and is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, over 10 million bottles having been sold in drug stores last year. Keep Syrup Pepsin in ■your medicine chest.

"THANK-U” I> A REAL AMERICAN MAD# COMEDY The Berkell Players are presenting at English's this week a real play, and one that Indianapolis has not had an opportunity to see befoul It is “Thaiik-IT,” written by Winched Smith and Thomas Cushing, and originally produced by John Golden. This combinations is well knc-n for giving the public worth white comedy successes, and they did not fail their reputation when they sponsored “Thank-U.” Charles Berkell, I hrector Eddy Waller and a large cast have none their part toward making the local production worthy of the material at hand. “Thank-U” is a play of characters, the real sort of rural characters that we have almost all known, and the kind that Winchell Smith has brought to life for us so often before The play do. Is with the hardships j of a country m.nister who is so un- | derpaid that he has to rely upon j donations to enable him to live —a j "Thank-U" man. In the end matters j are set right for this particular . clergyman, but while making you ; laugh, the play brings homo the fact that there are so many preachers in j the same situation for whom things have never been made right. There is a little love story running through the play that gives Jean Oliver a chance, as the pastor's j niece, to regenerate a dissipating i young millionaire, played by Wader. | These two do their work, as usual, in ! a careful, artistic manner. Alexan- j der Campbell does a good bit as the ‘ rich boy’s father. But the real honors for the week must go to the pastor and his vestrymen, real, honest characters, that carry the play. Particularly fine was Herbert Dobbins j as the struggling minister. The rest of the cast was quite sat- j isfactory and is given in full: Hannah Henrietta Floyd 1 Mis* Blodgett ... Mary Hill j The Rev. David Lee Herbert Dobbine Andy Beardsley I.arry Sullivan j Mrs. Jones Myrtle Stringer \ Gladys Jones Idabelle Arnold j Monte Jones Robert Fay i Diane Jean Oliverj Abner Norton . Oliver Hancock Dr Andrew Cobb. . .Wm. V. Hull Judge Hasbrouok . . . Fred Jenkins Morton Jones J. M. Golden The Vestrymen Kenneth Jamieson .Eddie Waller Cornelius Jamieson.. Alexander Campbell! Griggs . Krcil Jenkins; ''Thank-U” is the bid for the week I at English's.—(By Observer.) • ii DANCING ACT TOPS NEW AT LYRIC Harry Abrams' and company are heading the bid at the Lyric this' week with a first-rate dancing turn called “Shoe Echoes.” There are four dancers in the act and they present a little of most every kind of dancing and do them each wed.

Wylie and Hartman give their idea of married life and tell it with laughs. A really funny act. Antonio Rossitte scores with his vocalism He sings everything from Irish ballads to Italian popular songs. Hart’s Hollanders is an acrobatic troupe. Fagg and White offer black-face comedy. Kraft and Lamont offer some good dancing and some comfdy that Is not so good. Mark Galvan does tricks with a violin and guitar. The bill is opened by Max York and his pupils, an excellently trained group of tlogs. Movies complete the program. At the Lyric all week.—(By Observer.) -I- I- -ICAftRV VOUR OWN BENCH WHEN YOU GO COURTING Why not bring your own bench when you go cajling on date? Anyway, that is the idea advanced by Grey and Byron at the Palace the first half of the week. The woman of this team first appears -;s an east side New York flapper. Very modern is this flapper. Here is some delightful fun. The flapper invites her gentleman friend to call at her apartment. When this modern Romeo arrives he lands with his own bench. Then follows a conversation in a few words. It is probably the shortest proposal in number of words that has ever been staged. Here is a clever couple. The dancers in the final act, Maurice and Mae Humphrey, who appear with a six piece band, are made of the real dancing material. * They do a travesty or burlesque on the Apache and other rough-neck dances which is a choice bit; Their mechanical doll number is splendidly done. The band fills in the waits during the numerous costume changes of the dancers. The dancers are the real article. Madelyn Young and her serenaders sing old Southern songs in an original wajt- They have their own way in putting over songs which' makes this act different from the regular run of quartette acts. Saxton and Farrell have an act with a surprise finish. The deception holds up right to the end. Rather well done. The ‘‘Three Original Blanks,” the best juggling team I have ever seen, open the

Hu Tijnrs Sjiccial CHICAGO, Juno 17. would not I trade my farm, despite all the agricultural depressions which you hear ! about, and which I know about, for any business represented in this room today,” declared James It. j Howard, chairman of the /National 1 Transportation Institute, in an address before the Rotary Club of Chica go. ' Mr. Howard gave his reasons for believing that farming is the surest business in the United'; States to,siy. The present agricultural depression is an invitation to far sighted men to get into farming, or to invest in agriculture, lie asserted. - “If any of you are qualified financially and physically and mentally to run a farm, I unhesitatingly re ommend you to go hack to the soil. My reasons are briefly stated. Whenever any commodity is below c,W of production, huy. It will surely go higher. Whenever any commodity is above cost of production, sell, it will inevitably go lower. The products of the farm ar*, and have been for four years, below production costs. They must inevitably sooner or later go higher, else all history and economics belie themselves. "Whenever men and capital are rushing in large numbers and volumes toward any essential or non essential industry, beware—stay out; the industry will soon be overdone. Whenever men or capital are being subtracted from an industry, particularly aji essential Industry, get ; into it. Your efforts and capital j will not only be needed reward- j ed. The man who can stay or who | can go to the farm is hound sooner or later to strike pay dirt. “It is a good thing for every farmer occasionally to come to thg city. It would be as much worth w'hile if even* one -of you could get out on a farm for a couple of week'' every summer and on the plow ,r in the harvest field get some first hand and worthwhile information regarding American agriculture.” In Zululand the atmosphere is so clear that objects can be seen by starlight at a distance of seven milesi

No Tires Yet Rubber so made is not yet of sufficient quality, however, for auto tires. Not alone in the field of rubber products, though, is corn coining ! | into more extensive use. Govern- I \ ment chemists have perfected sev- j eral new processes for .making corn j sugar, leading to predictions the grain will soon become the leading crop of the world. Until recently there were only two general classes of sugars that could be made from corn, dextrose and glucose. But several months ago H. C.
