Coolidge on Freedom YY*| HEN President Coolidge’s thought is unVv hampered by the pressure of political diplomacy and he gives free rein to his fancy he shows a fondness for adventure in the realms of idealism. His address at the Norwegian centennial celebration in Minnesota was non-political and his mind seemed to be having a thoroughly good time. Result: An interesting address. This particular celebration commemorated he arrival of Norwegian immigrants in 1825, after the successful American revolution and the firm establishment of the United States as an independent nation. Having discoursed on the motives that had prompted earlier immigration to these shores from Europe, largely stimulated from the other side, the President came to the immigration encouraged from this side of the Atlantic after the establishment of our government. “From the time when their fast-develop-ing institutions of popular government, religious freedom and intellectual liberality had come to take definite and attractive forms,” says Mr. Coolidge, “the people of the colonies took anew interest in inducing their European relatives to follow them thither. They engaged in an inverted crusade, a conquest without invasion and without force. The new country offered not only material, opportunities, but possibilities of spiritual and intellectual emancipation which they ardently wished their friends on the other side to share. Citizenship in the new world meant something that it had not meant in the old.- It was seen that the new world offered something new. There was an increasing realization that many burdensome traditions and institutions had somehow been shed. Here, at last, THE INDIVIDUAL WAS LORD OF HIMSELF, MASTER OF HIS OWN DESTINY, KEEPER OF HIS OWN SOVEREIGNTY. HERE HE WAS FREE.” President Coolidge can devote himself to no greater crusade than to lead the fight to re-' store this country to the blissful condition he so eloquently describes as existing in 1825. A thoughtful survey of his country today, of the harmony, patriotism and idealism of all the people in 1917 and 1918 and the insidious attacks on freedom during the past few years of awful reaction, must convince him that he cannot say truthfully today that in the United

Hitch Up Your Horse to a Sleigh on This Hot Day

By Walter D. Hickman A r “"“”| S you read the head over my little word to you about ml books, you probably will argue the fact that I have been sunstruck or something’. Not at all. Have been sleighing through snow in Canada with Marla Chapdelaine and her father. We even crossed the Ice on the way home. Os course spring and summer came twice, and when that was over we went sellghing again. Had the hunch some months ago when I received from the MacMillan Company anew gift edition of Louis Hemon's “Maria Chapdelaine, ’’ a tale of the Lake St. John country. It is translated by W. H. Blake. An adult graduate who has an open mind on faith and the power of nature as well as the Divine One on the material and spiritual experience of people, this book will make a choice graduation gift. Here is a book that brings marked beauty to any home library. It breathes a coql refreshing breeze. For many pages you are buried in snow.

States in 1925 the “individual is lord of himself, master of his own destiny, keeper of his own sovereignty. Here he is free.” For probably at no time in the history of this country has bigotry and intolerance been more vigorously offensive, or religious freedom and intellectual liberty less secure than right now. Competitors Help One Another BRIGHT woman makes a success as a i lawyer, judge, bank president or Governor. Every one hears about her. That may be pleasing to her vanity, and when another woman lands in a similarly exalted position, the first lady may, for an instant, be a bit jealous of her title as “the only woman who.” Eventually, however, she comes to realize that it's rather nice to have company and that it is really easier to maintain her position when there’s another woman around doing the same sort of thing. You can always ride a little on the waves of another’s prosperity, if that other is in the same line of business as yourself. A successful novel arouses interest in reading and a second worth-while book finds readier sales. People hear news over the radio and buy newspapers to read the details, because their interest has been stimulated. Now along comes the United States Chamber of Commerce with a report on automobiles in the U. S. A. which it is going to read to the International Chamber of Commerce at Brussels on June 21. It says that the railroads of the country, once fearful that the motor truck would take the trimportation business away from them, now believe that it brings them just as much or more than it takes away. Motor trucks are particularly useful, the report says, for “minor or local distribution functions,” and as “feeders to the main railway truck lines.” Much territory hitherto unavailable to railway territory, in some cases not even under cultivation because there was no way of shipping what was raised, is now tied up to the shipping point. “Moreover,” says the report, “railroads have derived much new traffic from the direct movement of automobile parts, finished automobiles, petroleum and road materials.” When you get scared over competition, remember to look a little farther than your nose.

■Weekly Book Review

Hemon has written in a brilliant, classical style. His picture of a great nothern winter is a word painting that win rank among the really fine things in modern literature. The chief character is Maria Chapdelaine, French Canadian—a girl of the great cold north in winter and a girl of the great warm north in summer. Maria knew nothing about flappers. She was devout n her faith and she felt as she watched the wonders of the church and of nature that some day a great joy would come into her life. She lived with her father, mother, brothers and a sister in one of those places which gazes out upon raw nature. Her father and her brothers were constantly fighting the unseen :i8 well as the visible forces of Nature. They had to plear land before it was plowed. Marla was not a simple minded young woman. She realized that evil existed in the world but knew that it would never enter her life. She knew that by being a good and

Ritchie for Maryland to take official part in the Defense Day te. t on July 4 is seen the politics of at. inside army fight which is now coming to a head. Some of the big boys in the War Department, General Pershing among them, are strong advocates of the “citizen army,” while others, backed by the sympathy of Secretary Weeks, are known as “old army men,’’ sharing the feeling of the National Guardsmen and the Regular Army for the Reserve Corps composed, they say, of a lot of officers and exceedingly few privates. The „ old army men say that in case of war the criticism in General Emery Upton's “army Bible” that our trouble has been dependence on raw militia and untrained volunteers would still hold good. In Secretary Weeks’ last annual report to the President, he pointed out that conducting the Citizens Military Training Camps in the summer time took the attention of 40,000 of the 63,000 enlisted men in the combat corps and of 5,000 of the less than 7,000 combat officers. Weeks said that instead of train ing citizens these officers and men should he training themselves. Defense-day is primarily a reserve corps proposition. On that day the reserve offipers justify their commissions. Itj mpst cases, so the unfriendly elerrient predicts, 'th .re will be about 780\>fficers marching with

devout girl that sweet romance would come to her. That is the beautiful tragedy of this story aa we see horrible tragedy wipe out all but the memory of this simple but beautiful romance. It seems that we all pay the price for our romance and our dreams. Hemon shows the beuaty of this dream and romance and then pictures the result, Just like a forest fire, when Fate steps in and kills the romance.

180 privates. They say the Regular Army will march in orderly fashion, likewise the aNtlonal Guardsmen but when the reserve officers give their commands, “squads east and west," their men will scatter to the four points of the compass. From the tone of Ritchie’s letter It looks as though the National Guardsmen at least were beginning to balk at participation in what they consider a rather untrained display. Ritchie, it is pointed out, has come to his decision after conferring with Adjt. Gen. Newton K. Reckord, who, besides being head of the Maryland National Guard, Is also national head of the guardsmen’s association. Governor’s Plnchot of Pennsylvania, Pierce of Oregon. Ferguson of Texas, McLeod of South Carolina, Hannett of New Mexico, Wimant of New Hampshire, Trapp of Oklahoma, Billtnga of Vermont, Brewster of Maine and Fuller of Massachusetts have telegraphed their intention to cooperate, which means ordering out the National Guard with pay. Governor John H. Trumbull of Connecticut takes exception to the day. saying the National Guardsmen and Regular Army men are planning a week-end holiday, inasmuch as July 4 falls on Saturday, and he doesn’t feel like depriving them of it. The War Department freely admits it is up against the July 4 idea, which prevails In big cities, where the Reserve Corps is also the strongest.

Indiana. In the struggle for control of Anita's fortune there is ammunition for socialists argument. The case well serves to point a moral and adorn a rale of unearned increment. What has. Anita, a tiny Swiss maid, ever done to entitle her to possession of $8,000,000? She irn’t a producer—hasn’t created a nickel of America’s real ( wealth. She may never live in America. There are boys peddling newspapers on the streets of Indianapolis who have contributed more to the upbuilding of this country already than probably Anita ever will. But because she happened to have a shrewd old great-grand-father. she has a sizeable American fortune. Instead of being brought up like a simple, unaffected daughter of a Swiss riding master, she must be brought up like $8,000,000, a source of contention for her estranged grandparents. Poor little Anita. STANDARD STYLES IN CLOTHES M r “—|RS. JOHN D. SHERMAN, president of the Federation of Women's Club, which Just concluded its biennial council meeting at West Baden (Ind.) favors a standardized dress for women. She believes it would be economy. “Women pay so much for their clothes, because merchants don’t know whether a style will last three months or a year,” she said. “Men's styles don't change so they get clothes much cheaper.” True, for the moment, man's garb seems standardized. Women dress to be seen while men dress not to be seen. But that is merely a temporary eclipse of the male. A few generations ago men dressed like intoxicated raint * and probably will do so a _in. Already he has Jumped off he reservation in the matter of ,ckwear and golf stockings. Purple ruffled pants, and individual styles may be just around the corner. Standardized women’s clothes is an iridescent dream. No two women could agree on a standard sty'e and no mere man could arbitrate the dispute and survive. . Perhaps a standard, long-lived style in feminine apparel would promote economy. However if economy is the important consideration why not discard clothing altogether and save a lot of money? One could still express Individuality in Inexpensive, sun-fast tattooing. The principal purpose of clothing is gratification of human vanity. That applies to both ifien and women. And vanity is gratified by wearing something Jstunning, different and individual. /

FLIRTING WITH DEATH IHANCE KINSLEY. Indianapolis automobile race driver, w-as killed Sunday when his car was wrecked on a dirt speedway near Hammond. He had raced on dirt tracks for ten years. Automobile racing at best is dangerous. An appallirtg number of ’ drivers have finished their careers, their cars and themselves by smashing through a fence. Most of the fatalities occur on the small dirt tracks that dot the country. There is more than speed and flirting with death in the Memorial day "classic on the Indianapolis brick speedway. It is a proving ground for testing new ideas in motor car construction. From it have come improvements in motor design of great importance to the automobile industry. Innovations incorporated in the construction and design of the shooting comets of the speedway bricks, and found good, are found in staid family busses a couple of years later. But the automobile races on small dirt tracks serve no such useful purpose. They merely gratify the spectator’s mania for speed and give him a thrill as the drivers flirt with death. They contribute no more to civilization than a Spanish bullfight or a Roman gladitorial show. As long as such rates are popular we'll have a hard time proving w-e are more humane and enlightened than the old broken-nose Roman. There is not much difference between a spectator who thrills to see an automobile race driver spatter his anatomy all over the back stretch and a spectator who cheers hoarsely at sight of a gladiator being hacked to pieces by a sword. LAX POLICE DISCIPLINE promulgated a stern edict v J against policemen smoking on duty. Officers violating this elementary rule of police discipline .will have their jobs snatched right out of their hands, he declared. A few days before the chief, in a special proclamation, forbid patrolmen to cover their beats in street cars. Street car patrolling has been banned under police rules for years. Not long before that a special order was issued to traffic policemen to pay strict attention to business and stop the practice of bantering one another while on duty. Such edicts following each other in rapid successsion indicate that discipline—the foundation of an efcient police force —in the Indianapolis police department is enforced by special edicts and spasms of activity. After a particularly flagrant act of banditry, or unusual splash of the crime wave, a clean-up order goes out. For twenty-four hours vagrants, drunks and crap-shooters are ruthlessly hunted. Then comes another flurry of major crime, another clean-up order, and another twenty-four-hour flurry of police activity. And so on. When the spasm is on officers are shifted hither and yon—and the crime wave continues to roll merrily. The past week-end there was such a shift of assignments. Sunday yeggmen blew a safe in a Ft. Wayne Ave. grocery in broad daylight and escaped with S2BO. Perhaps the department has Insufficient men. But lack of men is not entirely responsible for the lack of effectiveness of the Indianapolis police department. Ablebodied officers are assigned to inconsequential duties that could be performed by women or children. That and the spasmodic discipline and spasmodic clean-ups destroy the force’s efficiency.

think I am safe in saying that these two are giving this week an example of conving characterization, the kind that an audience will always remember. These two actually carry much of the fun burden of the second act. It is in this act also that Milton Byron, Martha Morton and Bob Fay give a glimpse into* broad burlesque fun that is immense. Mighty fine work. Byron is giving convincing work this week. He becomes the character that he creates. Edythe Elliott has a role that demands smart gowns and smart talk. She delivers both. Larry Sullivan has lost himself in the part of Alfred Honeycutt, an English lawyer. Sullivan sinks his

Lot of Scotch for Half Dollar

A' P ““"ITLANTIC CITY. June 9. Five hundred cases of Scotch v_J for half a dollar! You can get ’em from a rumrunner off the Jersey coast. That is, provided your half-dollar is half of a dollar bill which mates with the other half In the hands of a rumrunning ship captain. You're in the bootlegging business. You want 600 cases. You go to a "big boy" who's managing the liquor smuggling from the shore. He cuts or tears a dollar bill in two and gives you half. Your part of the mutilated greeback Is handed to the rum-running captain when your motor boat slips out from the coast to the rum fleet. If it fits the half in the captain's possession, sent to him by the “big boy” on shore, you get your 600 cases. This is one device they’re using now in the great ganie of eluding the prohibition law and quenching the national thirst. The idea is to do away with any exchange of money on board rum-runners. Too many rum-runners have been held up by hijackers; it's better to have no profits on board. No Suffering The dry navy’s blockade hasn’t made Atlantis City suffer from a drought. You can buy all you want at almost any cabaret —not to speak of other places. But the quality isn’t as good as it was before the dry navy got busy. Capt. Randolps Ridgley, commander of the Cape May and Atlantic City bases, Coast Guard rum fleet, estimates that since the Coast Guard laid down its barrage along the coast, 90 per cent of Atlantic City’s booze is the home-grown kind. So It isn’t very suprising that Atlantic City's share of the dyy Navy is the least welcome of summer via* itors here. Captain Ridgley, though he’s secretive about a lot of things admits that Atlantic City doesn’t like the dry fleet. Anchored In Inlet Eleven blocks back from the Boardwalk you’ll find it, anchored in the inlet. One good-sized boat, headquarters for Captain Ridgley. Ten or a dozen battleship grey, specially built.

own personality into the character of the play. Convidnging work. Idabelle Arnold has a chance to do a bit of burleeque in the first act and straight character work during the remainder of the play. As usual up to the high standard expected of her. Cast includes Bob Fay, Tommy Evans, Robert St. Clair and William V. Hull. From a scenic standpoint, this show is splendid. “So This Is London,” is a mighty fine amusement buy in the hands of the Berkell Player®. At English's all week. -I- •!- •!• A CHANCE TO STUDY PERSONALITY AND ABILITY Some people have the knack of being born entertainers. Such was probably the case of Raymond Wilbert, hoop manipulator and an expert with the golf club. The thlng3 that this man does at the Lyric this week have been done many times before, but he brings to each stunt his personality and showmanship of a fine order. His personality makes it possible for him to get chummy with his audience. He has sufficient showmanship to dress up each one of his stunts in anew dress. Everything he does seem fresh and new. His fooling with a watch, a golf stick and a golf ball is good fun in the hands of this man. He knows how to get applause. He is a real showman. Nat Nazarro some years ago discovered two colored boys by the name of Buck, a crack jazz piano player, and Bubbles, a chap with long dancing legs. Nnsarro acts ae a sort of cause for all the boys do, but Buck and Bubbles make the act. You must give a fellow credit for framing an act that draws people into the theater and pleases them on a hot day. “Fashion Follies" give a woman a

ers, standing by for order® or calls. And finally, fast motor boats which do picket duty at coast inlets, et cetera, and outspeed the fast rum runners. Captain Ridgley presides over a business-like looking office on board ship, telephone, radio, et cetera, keeping him in communication with Washington, New York, et cetera. His office might be in the Navy or War Department buildings, from it® appearance. And his Job is just as business-like. It's ail a game, he says. The rumrunners are trying to do their stuff; the dry Navy's trying to stop them. There's no animosity on the part of the Coast Guard—nor on that of moot of the rum runners and bootleggers. If they get through with a load of liquor—well, they’re in luck, that’s all. If they get caught—well, it's all in the game. Kindly Advice By Hal Cochrane Sometimes a fellow should stop and think twice before he haphazardly hands out advice, but nevertheless I’m Inclined to suggest some ways for hot weather that seem to be best. We grownups, of course, ought to know, as a rule, the sensible things things that will keep us cool. It's wee little kiddles who don’t understand: it's up to their parents to lend them a hand. Through kindly suggestion a child can be made to play In a spot that Is sheltered by ®hade. Explain just how dearly he’ll pay for his fun if he recklessly swelters and runs In the sun. At the momlngtim# lay out the coolest of clothes and make the child walk, not run where he goes. The greens from the garden are things he should eat and it’s best that you make him go easy on meat. A cool bath at night proves a wonderful treat and aids a child's slumber in site of the heat. Why. shucks, every parent’s been through It, and hence, I merely suggest you use good common sense.

chance to create some smart gowns In full view of the audience on live models. Some dancing and musical numbers are included In the routine. Iceland and St. Clair, as the act is announced, Is an eccentrlo affair, with some loud talk, pointless at time®. Not my Idea of good fun. Clifford and Kramer go in for some eccentric fun along Swede lines. Kibble and Kane have some harmless but amusing chatter and devices in "The Love Salesman.” Thjs act has the human attributes which get over. 1 Fantlno Sisters and company have an aerial revue which is well done. They work fast and do many stunts* Mighty good. The bill includes movie®. At the Lyrio all week. -I- -i- -i- rTHE OBSERVER SI RE LIKES j CLAUDE AND MARION Ul “Ain’t it warm?” That is the way Marlon, of Claude and Marion, is greeting her audiences at the Palace the first half of the week. And then she proceeds to make them forget how hot it really is. I not only forgot the heat but lost a headache while watching this act. One could not ask for much more than that. Os course, there is a great deal of Marion to get warm. She adirilts that her husband might not have the best wife in the world, but he has the most. Friend husband is different. As she puts ’t, "Too small

"Quicksand." It deals with the theory most every one would be tempted to steal $150,000 if they found It lying around loose. But nobody does. The play ’ is Just so-so entertainment. Th* acting of the company is much improved. Ben Lntighlin Is In the cast. “Childhood Days" is a mixture of good dancing, fair singing and the atrocious comedy found in “school. , room acts.” The hoofing and the speed of this act lift It above most’ of this type. The Wyoming Duo open the show. Their turn consists of rope spinning, whip cracking, singing and a bit of dancing. The roping Is best, boO\ the man and woman being experts with the spinning lasso. “The Man Without a Conscience" Is the movie feature. At the Palace today and Wednesday <JBy Observer.) • e • Other theaters today offer: “Chlckle*’ at the Circle; "The Crowded Hour” at the ApoUo; "Grounds For Divorce” at t|ts; Ohio; "The Bandit Tamer" at tW* Isis; "I’ll Show You The Town," at the Colonial and outdoor amutements at Broad Ripple Park.

Stage Verdict Palace—Claude and Marlon are a comedy autldote for hot , weather. An interesting bill as | a whole. English’s—The Berkell Players in “So This Is London” is giving a mighty good perform* ance of this success. A splendid entertainment buy. Lyric—Three acts stand out on this bill—Raymond Wilbert (splendid): Nazarro with Buck and Bubbles, and Fantlno Sisters and company.
