’Agff.KHP ATITTORWITCH . WyIHILE poets hare snug.of sleep as nature's sweet restora|Wj five, and have-glorified its. utility, still we are often reminded'that there is a time and place for everything; and everything includes sleep. . /Undoubtedly there are times when so restless, sensitive and temperamental a soul as that of Charles G. Dawes, Vice President of. the Urited States and founder of the Minute Men of America, neer s the restorative/influence of profound slumber. ; And there is nothing in t£.e rules of the Senate prohibiting v Viee presidential sleep. So jt is not only legal but entirely conatitttticnal and proper for a Vice President to sleep his darned / head off whenever he feels like it. ; 'Therefore, when Vice President Dawes,©n the fateful afternoon of March 10, 1925, was stretched out on his soothing bed snoring to the band, |fr,'Dawes was entirely within his "rights. R# ' "T . Narvertheless it was a fateful snooze. For the wicked Senjr tors who had been cruelly. laShe<£ori inauguration day by the commanding general of the of’’America,' were only wide-awake but up and was knocking hi the vice presidential door, offering a chance to "cast a deciding vote that wojild landed Charles Beecher Warren in the President’s Cabinet fcs Attorney General —that chance that comes but seldom in ths life of an ornamental Vice--President. i> *'• jf' < Opportunity not only knockecE but frantic Republican Senators sent their handiest, Paulf Reverb dashing madly to the Dawes hotel to bring the dashing warrior to the rescue. . But alasl *\. -And also alack! Cruel Fate kicked old Hell and Maria in the slats and woke hi’.v> up too late. His wild dash to the Capitol in a taxi, that busted the traffic rules got him there after the portcullis had dropped and the Warren nominajtipii had gone to the senatorial ash can. We can not vouch for the truth of it, hut it is hinted all the same that when Jinral Dawek reached the Senate too late, Senators Jim Reed and* Tom Walsh were softly dieting the Melody in A Major, while Senators. Couzens and Ferris were humming 44 Michigan, My Michigan.” Then by unanimous consent, the sleepy Vice President wont back to his hotel to finish th&’ interrupted anooze. THE HOME COMPLETE SHOW ~ rrrnNE of the biggest annual shows held in Indianapolis will |U| open at the State Fairground April 6 and will continue through April 11. It is the annual home complete exposition. This exposition in previous years has attracted an enormous amount of attention and the business men who are backiiag it this year say the coming show will be more elaborate tha# ever. The home complete exposition is a getting together by Indianapolis industry and business of articles pertaining or useful to the home. It is a boost Indianapolis project, that deserves the support of all the people. It stimulates a desire to buy home products from home merchants. Exhibits already are being placed in the Manufacturers’ Building. ladihnapolis business is planning to show its wares. The show deserves support.

sturdy Carolina people. He drives them all to hate and to possible murder. # As he spreads his "hellflre,” Rufe the weakling becomes stronger and stronger until he taels that he is a fit subject to talk directly tD the Lord. *' Rufe Is one of those selfish and axrtually. sinful - characters- who believes that the highest spiritual power is on his side. He even plans murder and blows up a dam because he believes that voices from on. high, bids , him do it. Faced with creating one of the Strangest and most hated of charTcfcrs'evgr seen on the stage, Hamilton rises to the very v hfcights of the most powerful acting. ----He, actually becomes* a human storm - In- the second g'ct; when he kneels on' the floor and calls upon the Lord toi instruct him how to kill off the blasphemers fall imaginary enemies of Rufe). Hamilton, in this scene, rises very highest peak of dramatio artistry. He retains the natural weakness ofthe charatcer, but becomes strong in his weakness. One of the most powerful scenes I have ever seen on the stage. >' Wonderful Casit Frank Farley as Andy Lowry,’the .whisky drinkin’ roughneck of the mountains does a remarkable piece of sustained- characterization. He (Its into the dramatic picture and helps to move' It to a powerful climax. William W. Crimans, Frances Brandt and Walter Downing, mountain characters, have been chosen for their ability to create exacting types. Gladys Hurlbut as Jjide 'Effrwry, the indirect cause of Rufrt- many sins staged to the tune of camp meetfn’ hymns, holds the character ip its right spot. - .

A STUDY OF WHAT SHOW>L\NSH3 P CAN DO she yalue of a novelty idea on the vaudeville stage Is always Increased when real showmanship Is applied. For some seasons, ' a woman calling herself “Reslsta"’,. has been on tour. Generally she has been handicapped by having, a poor announcer with her. This season she has jthe services of a woman who knows what to do In putting ithe act over. Resista is the woman who by some method is able to prevent men from lifting her from the floor. She arrived at fame by working out that one Idea. Now she has applied showmanship to the entire act, working It up to a climax of changing her weight ln midair. That is. good showmanship and keeps people who know of the theater talking and guessing. Act Is nicely mounted and well presented. A novelty. but carries a wallop with it because Resista and the, announcer use fine showmanship. Hamlin and Mack feature their act with an Impression of. a.darktown Inhabitant done as a shuffling dance while the woman 'playsr a -guitar. nod a harmonica time. .... •. Vernon is a ventrllcqulst who uses seven dummies Instead of one.. Some of his types are not. pleasant, especially the hair-llpped girt. This impression is ln mighty bad taste. Joseph Regan and Alberta Curtiss sing sentimental songs of lovs. They make good. Shean and Phillips, while singing their songs, have a 'college ydy about them which Is risfreshlng.

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA' By GAYLORD NELSON si

DELAWARE STREET WIDENING SHE board of public works Wednesday ordered the resurfacing and widening of N. Delaware St., and removal of the esplanades from the center of the thoroughfare will be benefited. Nelson Two months ago the board conducted a public hearing on the subject. Residents in the vicinity strenuously objected to removal of th% ornamentil grass plots. Their protests delayed, but could not stop the despoiling hand of public necessity. A bridge may be an artistic triumph and an engineering feat, but an economlo failure unless the street leading to it Is sufficiently wide to accomodate traffic. Bridges are to expedite trafflo not to beautify landscapes and adorn contractors. So with the completion of the Fall Creek bridge the character of Delaware Bt. changed. What before was just an easygoing residential street with a dead end became overnight a through thoroughfare. Ultimately every Inch of roadway must be utilized. The grass plots are beauty spots, cf sentimental and historic interest tq. the neighborhood, but logic demands their extinction. That’s one penalty a street suffers by being in a growing city. ' CREDIT UNION mHE Indianapolis branch of the National Association of Letter Carriers is organizing a credit union. It is a cooperative banking enterprise fbr the purpose of making short-time loans to members at low interest rates. There are a number of similar organizations in the city among department store employes and trade unions. They fIU a real need. Small borrowers with no collateral except moral character and jobs are frequently peeled to the quick by loan sharks. Credit unions are but one phase of the cooperative movement in this counttry. For a long time, though coperatlve enterprises flourished lr. England, they were shunned in this country. They were feared as a socialistic plague. Only in recent years—perhaps as a result of fruit-growers’ exchanges and producers’ cooperatives—has the idea spread. The success of banks established by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and other trado unions has stimulated the movement among workers. Rabid individualists may believe that each person should fend for himself, like a buccaneer preying or preyed upon acoording to his talent. But as people have learhed joint endeavor, civilization bas advanced. Credit unions and other cooperative enterprises may not cure all modem society’s ills, but the growing spirit of cooperation they Indicate will ultimately build i. better social structure.

INDIANAPOLIS HAS THE THIRST T u |HE . Indianapolis Water Company—according to the ___J annual report* Just filed with tho public service commie* sion—had a net' Income of 1544231.62 for 1924. A- 10 • per cent, dividend was paid on common stock. ’ . ; In view of this dividend and the recent rate increase, which Is expected to fatten Its annual ref* enue $117,000, the company ought to gurgle through 1028 in a pleasant frame of mind. Evidently there Is something In Indiana* polls water bestdes a spdttde. Without water n filthier 1 indlvid* uals nor cities can exhrti- Evert If spurned as a beverage people must fill automobile radiators with it. And cities must have It for memorial fountains and fir* protection. is So necessary is the fluid to oons* munity life and /health that In practically all cities the water systems are publicly owned and operated a a a matter of course. That is considered as. much a municipal function as providing a bonded debt. V Except In Indianapolis. A among the country's. importaST cities it depends for wa£er on * private corporation.. It can’t even apply a damp cloth, to itifc fevered brow without, swelling the divi* dends of private, monopoly. A private, monopoly may tovd the public, but Its first conoem Is profit. So it "constantly seeks higher rates.' Eventually Indians* > polls may pay dearly for dwnlnfi only its thirst. ? * , JUSTICES OF ’ !
