The City Circus SEW SHANK again is considering an offer to go into vaudeville. He should accept it by all means. His particular ability seems to be along comedy lines. For instance, consider the present city administration. To one who doesn’t have to pay luxes to support it, the administration has been more or less of a “scream,” as our friends on the stage would say. In some respects, it has been what the vaudevillinn would call a “wow.” But Lew shouldn’t consider taking along a trained horse as he did in some of his other vaudeville acts. He has managed to get along for four years in the mayor’s office witlLut the assistance of a horse, thus indicating that the animal is not at all necessary to his act. Os course, he has been assisted by a few mules housed in a certain barn on the south side. But Lew should take along by all means his good friend, Bill Armitage. Things wouldn’t seem natural to Lew if Bill and possibly Roy Pope and Capt. John Zener were not standing somewhere in the wings. * Bill pould deal with the booking agents, who, Lew says, want a lot of his money, and Zener, with his experience in collecting campaign . funds from the police department, should make a good ticket seller. On second thought, it may be a mistake for Lew to go into vaudeville. He is too big a showman for that. He should go into the theat ’ical business on a larger scale, possibly in a tent. He could simply move the whole city administration, after Jan. 1, out of the city hall, .where it has been performing for four years, .an 1 put it in the tent Lew could be his own ballyhoo man on the .outside. Then he could go inside and paint up his face end ride one or two of the balky mules out of the mule barn. Zener could sell tickets and Roy Pope could drive stakes. Bill ArmiVtage should be a wonderful juggler, specializing, possibly, in card tricks. Otto Ray and the other rebellious councilmen could don tin armor, and, like Sancho Panza, mount city mules and joust with the members of the board of works for the edification of the public. They have been doing it more or less for the same purpose for months and should be in good trim. If the tent were big enough there might he staged a small-sized automobile race, featuring Bull Moose Walker in that city owned automobile No. 2. Come to think of it, though, Walker would do a lot better job as grand marshal of the street parade. Places undoubtedly could be found for all the other participant.* in our present municipal comedy. Undoubtedly iho show would be a couple of “wows.” No, Lew will be making a mistake if he goes into vaudeville. He has a circus ready made.

Weekly Book Review Sweet Writing of the Good Old Days Returns to Us

By Waiter D. Hick inn SLL monuments are not carved in stone, but they are monuments just the same. An author builds his own monument, maybe many of them. And the late Charles Major, the author of “Yolanda,” “Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall,” “When Knighthood Was in Flower” and Several others. Anew monument has just been discovered. It’s name is "Rosalie,” a story of England and Canada, nearly a century ago. ' But before this monument, “Rosalie” could be revealed to the world. It was necessary to call in another Vjy-ckman. * f Charles Major before his death had finished writing or drafting anew story. It was practically completed fait - needed touching up and a few changes before it could be published. '* Test Dalton, author and playwright of this city, wss called in and did the necessary work so the reading public could enjoy another Major story. ” Dalton, who is a most modest individual w r hen it comes to personal honor, did not even ask that his name be included along with that Os Charles Major. Dalton considers himself a “doctor” in this case, making changes for the better here and there, adding this and taking a wee hit of that aw r ay—and he has kept professionally silent. I do know that Dalton worked on Ihis last Major book with the one purpose of giving the reading world a chance to enjoy Major again. | * I know this to be the fact, because %*man Connected with certain interests with the Major estate asked me to recommend an author, who could help round out the story. I introduced Dalton and some wrecks

present to give the east its share of national parks. The great national parks, which all lie west of the Mississippi, were created out of public lands. There are no public lands in the east out. of which to create national parks. The .public lands of the west, if they had not been made into parks, would have a cash value to the government today. Therefore it is only fair that Government money be used to buy for the east the land needed to preserve what little remains of natural scenery in that part of the country, before it is lost forever. A commission named by the last Congress has recommended that two parks be created — the Shenandoah, in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, and the Great Smoky, in the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. Together, they would probably cost not much over $10,000,000. With a $300,000,000 surplus, the Administration ought to be able to include the purchase of these park lands in its budget, without the cost being noticed by the people of the country. But these great parks themselves lying '-lose to the thickly populated sections of the country, would certainly be noticed. From Here to the Horn p OR years advocates of closer Pan-Ameri- * can relations have dreamed of a New York to Buenos Aires railroad, but financial and engineering difficulties have always interfered. Now it appears that bn All-American highway leading from Indianapolis and all points in the l nited States to Buenos Aires, Rio Janeiro and other South American cities will come first. The good roads construction idea has seized the South American countries and they are anxious to duplicate ( the progress being made in the United States. The Pan-American Congress of Highways at Buenos Aires in October will he attended by an official delegation representing the United States Government and a large unofficial delegation representing automobile organizations and others interested in good roads. Connecting roads throughout the Central and South American republics will lead to better understanding and closer relations between the peoples of the Americas more than any other economic development. If proof is needed one needs only to watch the’ thousands of American automobiles daily crossing the line into Canada. The neighborliness on the northern border should some day be duplicated on the south. Write Your Own Editorial nFTj ENERAL LINCOLN C.

later, Dalton was busy with the manuscript. The Macmillan Company, of New or k, has published “Rosalie” as one of its new $2 Action. Tragic Beauty There is lot of tragic beauty to “Rosalie,” a story of a worthy love affair of the old days In England as told by a doctor who was hounded and persecuted by the government. The man was Innocent of the charges, but he was doomed on the gallows. A beautiful girl aids him to escape on a sailing vessel bound for Canada. They are ship wrecked and the late novelist has worked out a story of charm and interest concerning the soul and the fate of Rosalie and the doctor. “Rosalie” maybe a little oldfashioned in style, but it moves with that careful charm of Major He was always able to work out an engaging romance with a romantic age us its background. And 1 believe it is this quality of "old fashlonedness” which will make it a book to be demanded by the reading public which enjoys romance before the days of the Aapper and the flapper sheik.

SCIENCE MAKES FARMING MUCH MORE PROFITABLE

By David Dietz SKA Scrrirt! Writer I p. I LAN’S are being’ made for the I I celebration at New Haven, L ii Conn., of the establishment of the first agricultural experiment station in America. The station was established just fifty years ago with an appropriation of not quite $3,000. Today, the experimental station has grown into a great national system with a total maintenance fund of $10,000,000 a year. Dr. E. W. Allen of the United States Department of Agriculture points out, however, that agriculture is a twenty-five billion dollar industry from which half the entire business of the country .and half the tonnage value of the arisfe. Dr. Allen points out further that from the fall of the Roman'empire until the close of the eighteenth century there were virtually no changes in agricultural methods. Today agriculture is on a scientific basis. Scientific research has produced improved qualities in foodstuffs and produced varieties which will grow under conditions which were formerly prohibitive. Com-growing, foig example. Is now possible 300 miles further north than it was once believed corn would grow. The study of soil composition has made it possible to increase the yield per acre by revealing the. type of fer-

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

A QUESTION OF PROPRIETY m. FRANK SMITH of Lafayette, member of the Lower House in the Indiana Legislature and an undertaker, recently contracted with the State Soldiers’ general, queried i,s to t * l '- i e s a i*ty t declared he saw noth,ngr wron S Ptllß’ indication that MSHm tii-ian offered to vgpa sell his services cheaper, the Nelson opinion seems sensible. i Lost week the State Examiner, in a letter to the trustees of the Indiana World War Memorial, demanded dismissal of the architects employed on that project. He charged them with specifying use in the building of a patented steel manufactured by a company in which they were financially interest ed. Such specification was intimated to be highly Improper. Quite a kettle of fish was spilled. The architects deny anything unethical in their action and an investigation is under way. There is no claim that other steel, equally suitable for the purpose, would cost less or would reduco the cost of the memorial project. Whoever furnishes the material used In the structure, the State suffers no real injury unless compelled to pay more than It should for the building. In dealing with a State where does good business end and impropriety begin? ALCOHOL AND ACCIDENTS E r ~~~"J LEVEN automobile accidents occurred in and around Indianapolis Sunday. Five of the drivers responsible were arrested, charged with drunkenness and operating an automobile under the influence of liquor. Sunday after Sunday there is a similar record. Week-end alcohol figures in a surprisingly large percentage of week-end traffic accidents. Alcohol in an automobile radiator Is harmle'ss; In the driver it is a menace. Prohibition perhaps is a failure. Neither the amendment, the Wright law, nor any army of enforcement officers treading ruthlessly on private rights have prevented earnest drinkers from getting stuff that jolts them from cellar to attic. It is a prolific source of graft, corruption, lawlessness and innumerable public evils and private disasters. But what would happen on our congested highways in this autotomobile age If the old style saProud of Him C. E. Scoggins Again Indiana has a right to be proud. The State is now proud of C. E.

loon dispensing “hard likker” to all comers was brought to life and flourished on every corner as in the good old horse-and-buggy days? Fragments of accident victims and traffic would be strewn all over the landscape. Sunday motoring would be a precarious trip through a shambles. In the old saloon days an inebriate, after he got tired of singing “Sweet Adeline," clambered into a hack or buggy and ambled home. He didn't menace other traffic, for the horse was sober. It's different now. An automobile, unlike a horse, is only as sobej; as its driver. WHY WILD LIFE DISAPPEARS EORGE N. MANN FELD, superintendent, of the fish * and game division of the Indiana Department of Conservation, predicts that more than 15,000 nonresident hunting and fishing licenses will be sold in the State this year. Only approximately 14,000 were issued last year. In 1318, 3,867 nonresident licenses were sold. Since then the number has increased four-fold and during the same period, sale of resident hunting and fishing licenses has doubled. Good roads and more automobiles drew an increasing number of people to woods and lakes with guns and rods. Every Hoosier bluegill, bass, rabbit and game bird now has a job to escape the persistent sportsman and live to a ripe old age. Nature lovers, sportsmen and conservationists bemoan the vanishing of wild life from forest and stream. Fish hatcheries, game refuges and closed seasons have bcea established. They retard but fail to halt the extinction of wild life. The steady Increase 4n the number of hunting and fishing licenses sold tells the story. Expanding population and civilization is hard on nature. Neither the forest primeval nor its denizens, from the red Indian to the red squirrel, can stand the encroachments of the world-conquer-ing white man. Eventually they go. Comprehensive connerv ation measures may delay the departure. But probably in a generation or two the only thing a Hoosier can hunt with a shotgun will be a bank or craps game. “OBEY”IN THE MARRIAGE VOW ENDIANAPOLIS ministers are not much concerned over the fate of the word “obey" in the marriage ritual which has recently been the subject of sprightly discussion by Episcopal bishops. The majority of local preachers don't use the word. “Obey” might once have had deep significance—a powerful link in the chain binding the woman to her lordly male. But now it is only a sort of vermiform appendix—an atrophied survival —in the marriage ceremony. The modern bride who trips coolly and with utmost self-possession to the altar glibly utters the word. But naturally she doesn't really mean to obey the flustered, weakkneed thing at her side who doesn’t know what to do with his hands and feet and who stutters and gulps—except as convenient. Modern marriage customs, say anthropologists, can he traced hack to the time when wives were secured by barter or capture. The ring ceremony, in which the modern brute slips a ring on the finger of his chosen and leads her proudly from the church while her female relatives politely shed tears, is a pale descendant of the StoneAge practice where the masterful guy cracked his bride over the head with a club and dragged her off by her hair to his cave, while her sisters and aunts wailed. There were men in those days. Marriage is now conceded to be a partnership. The exact ritual by which it is solemnized may be of interest but not of vital Importance. A bishop or a justice of the peace may officiate. Mendelssohn or the Alabam Five may furnish the wedding march. The success or failure of a marriage depqhds on what comes after the ceremony.

And the Old Door Would Not Stay Closed; Variety Stage Houses Some Good Acts

I By Walter D. Hickman | | INAL program of the Berkell IH I season at English’s for L_J "What’s Your Wife Doing?" should include this as an actor: — The Door Which * Could Not Close Itself. There are some wild goings on in this play by Herbert H. Winslow and Emil Nyitray and things became so wild that even a door couldn't stay closed. And still funnier than that, the door had to stay closed because Larry Sullivan all dolled up like an a = C(l grandpa BPr ' stone had to craw 1 H' vfjxw through a kicked L S jjjj door that would : jg JH the door open and the I ,anel out, SulI llvan and Stone l| crawled through the open panel as • \ skS ,he door stayed n\ \ : v serenely open. NearV i ' ly passed out when i ■ § ltlis happened, but • ■ even this crazy old door is so in keepMilton Byron ing with the spirit of the piece that everybody howled with Joy. If William Hull fixes that door so it will stay closed, I will feel like "murdering" him mentally. Oh, this is some door and Sullivan and Stono know how to crawl through an open door. Was greatly interested in the work of James F. Stone as the half-baked husband who wanted to get his wife compromised so he could get a divorce and then marry her all over again just because his silly old but wealthy uncle did like the bride. Stone fits in nicely with the demands of the character. He knows how to "shade” a laugh and he is a “hound" on business. He just doesn't stand around until he has something to say, but he is always in the harness, always working. I wish that this man had been here all summer. He would have been the rage of the company. Am basing that on the theory that he could keep up the pace that he is going this week. The cast is as follows: Gerald Warner Milton Brnm 1 Hooter May Wilson A Poli.-eman William V. Hull Edith Somers Idabello Arnold Burr Shrewsbury ' Tommy Evans •Indue Somers A). Campbell Christopher 9kinner Tames F. Stone Beatrice Skinner Edythe Elliott Mrs. Lyman Webster Alice Do Lane Bellamy Sheppard Al. C. Wilson Samuel Skinner Larry Sullivan A Detective Al. Leane "What’s Your Wife Doing?" is not much of a play, strictly speaking, but it is just the sort of a play that gives a successful stock company a great farewell. It’s a laugh and that’s what is needed on farewell week at English’s. The actors are having a lot of fun this week and so is the audience. •I- -I* -ISPEAKING OF A GOOD ECCENTRIC COMEDIAN Am going to make a prediction— One of these fine days we will read that Mcßae, comedian of Mcßae and Mott, is the featured comedian of a big revue. Good comedians are few and far between. Look at the legitimate stage. Very limited. Burlesque recently has given the revue stage several of its comedy leaders. Mcßae is a comedian who works along approved burlesque lines. Hi.‘j funny getup, his trick talk, his | ability to create anew musical sound, as he does in the final number, and above all his ability along with Miss Mott to introduce his songs in anew way. In their offering you will find music. Here is a team that is one of the best comedy- bets I have seen on the stage in several years. What • this man could and would do to a big revue! He is certainly "cleaning up” at the Lyric this week. Want to call attention to Sid Hall and his orchestra. Hall impersonates noted orchestra conductors, Whiteman, Ted Lewis, Lopez and the others. He has a finely trained bunch of men with him. Easily the best orchestra that this house has had this season. An easy winner—class and everything.

Allen Is the whole works with the Reno Sisters and Allen. lie plays the violin and does a corking English impersonation. As to dancing, the Reno Sisters as just so so. Lou Miller and Alice Bradford present “Skin Deep,” which is supposed to be comedy and romance in a beauty parlor. Olive and Mack engage in wise conversation and some melody in “Lobby Laughs.” At the Lyric all week. -I- -I- -IGIVTNG CREDIT WHERE IT IS CERTAINLY DI E Sometimes a personality flashes out with so much beauty and charm that everything is forgotten.

A little \ hoked up, but It gets over. Then iiiksH into rne morc JBUm songs, popular and sentimental. In-R-ae Leo terest centers upon Leary and the way he handles his personality and his ability at song. He has a good voice and aids It with some wise showmanship. A mighty, mighty good example of what brains, talent and personality will do. Jack Allen and Alice Terrell attempt to introduce their orchestra in anew way. They succeed. The music is good, but more concerted action, not so much of a “dead”

All letters are confidential.—Editor. Can you give directions for painting on silk? The principal object to be obtained In preparing the fabric is to take care that the stuff does not become brittle from painting upon it and this is prevented by using the colors as flat as possible, so that the material does not strike in the fabric too much. In order to stop the colors from coming through on the other side, a size made from four parts of gelatine and ten parts of water, with from ten to twenty drops of glycerine added to each quarter pint of the galatine and water solution should be put on the outlines of the design. The size should be dry to the touch before painting is b£gun. Tube colors in oil are best suited for the purpose and several applications are required to bring out the effect properly. The colors must be as free from oil as possible, especially on the first coat. To make the colors less oily, extract some of the oil from the color by placing it on blotting paper for a short time. Use brushes or pencils with bristles as short as possible and trim these to suit. For large surfaces it is best to draw as much of the oil from the colors as possible and add to the color a little heavy painter’s varnish and enough turpentine to make it flow freely from brush or pencil. For sizing silk that is not exposed to dampness, one part of white of egg and two parts water will answer very well. In their natural or wild State in what kind of houses or nests do large apes live?
