Try This in Your Furnace fTTIOW that the season of sniffles and chil|lN 1 blains has settled down upon the East, some serious thought is being given to the anthracite coal strike. Up to now it has been pretty much disregarded. But the miners have been idle ten weeks and those who seek to buy anthracite are feeling the effect. The public 's protest has been long delayed, but it is becoming earnest. And as the public cups its hands before its face and emits its howl, it turns toward W ashington. What’ll Washington do! “Government officials, even if they felt inclined to interfere in the present strike, feel that their hands are tied by a recent decision of Federal Judge McClintic of West Virginia, declaring the United Mine Workers of America to be an unlawful organization, it was learned yesterday.” This is the opening paragraph of a long article in the Washington Post, which speaks the Administration’s views on many matters. Further, the Post says: “Government authorities were loath to comment publicly on the effect of the decision, inasmuch as they have heretofore main- % tained a hands-off policy on the anthracite strike, but gave it as their private opinion that they would not want to run counter to the.decision in attempting the settlement of the dispute.” And further: “Governor Pinchot’s present activities to bring the anthracite operators and the miners together are considered by local commentaries as precarious in that he might be adjudged in contempt of court.” And there, it seems, you have the Administration’s attitude. If anthracite users can warm their shins on that, there’s nothing to complain about. Long after the anthracite strike started, a n Federal judge over in the bituminous district of West Virginia, where Federal judges have done many funny things in times of coal strikes, decides that the whole miners’ organization is unlawful. His ground is that it is a trust! He apparently doesn’t think so much of this idea himself, for it is buried away among a lot of “findings of fact” and is not in the. main body of his/ipinion. But alert sleuths in the Administration seem to have discovered it and upon it have based the Coolidge policy in dealing with the anthracite strike. How long this “finding” of this Federal judge will last remains to be seen. McClintic is the same judge who in 1922 enjoined striking miners from erecting tents in which to live on land they had leased. That injunction lasted o ply until the United States Circuit Court of Appeals could set it aside. Wait and See ouiu uepartment says the barring of UJ Countess Karolyi from the United States is a closed incident. So when her lawyer asked for information

— Weekly Book Review All May Get Acquainted With Characters in Operas

By Walter D. Hickman f [VL”irD you ever hear the story □ of “Philemon and Baucis” as I related in the opera of the ■ame name by Gounod? Charles Francois Gounod in 1860 wrote an opera about a contented old couple in the long ago who loved each other so devotedly, that Is In the old mythical days, that even Jupiter and Vulcan on a visit to earth were surprised that mortals could be so happy and kind. The Gods restored Philemon and -Baucis to their youth and put them in a palace instead of a humble hut. But even youth, when it returns in the winter time, demands recognition and the old couple, now youthful, realized that natural old age was better than beauty, youth and wealth. • Such stories have often been told In many forms of entertainment, but such stories yield easily to the operatic stage. To meet the demand of a large leading public for stories of the > iteras, J. B. Dippincott Company, has published “Stories From The < iperas” in one volume by Gladys Davidson. Here is the key to the stories of ■-fa* best "known operas. A Fine Thing The stories are so unfolded that "A can really visualize the opera seeing unfolded. The technical side of the score is not discussed, just he story. "Philemon and Bauds” Is Just one of the many operas related as stories -in this fine collection of operatic stories. * Since operatic music is found in nearly every home that has a phono- . raph and the radio reflects the oeauty of opera as produced in New Cork and Chicago, this book is most Welcome. Among the authors whose works, appear in “Stories From TV^ ' >peras” are Auher, Balfe, B.etho\ufn, ■' ! ni. Benedict. Bizet, Doniz*iti,

on the section of the law and grounds on which she, the wife of the former president of Hungary, was banned, the department would not even say 1 Which for sheer arrogance puts our country on a level with Darkest Russia under the Cz.ars. There is not an important country in Europe today but would welcome the lady—but what, in fact, does welcome her. A “closed incident?” Wait and sec. Says the Chicago Tribune, a pro-adminis-tration' paper: * ‘ Mr. Kellogg has stirred up a ruction that is destined to disturb the peace and quiet of the Coolidge administration.” And the Tribiyie, insofar as statement is concerned, is, in our humble opinion, everlastingly right. France and the Capital Levy fiTT! ANT people in this country seemed injlVll dined to consign France to the demnition bowwows; in other words, to communism, socialism and worse, because of her proposed capital levy. Don’t be so hasty. A capital levy may be a desperate remedy, all right enough, but it is ODe that many a conservative statesman has envisaged when face to face with a desperate situation. Conservative England faced it during the World War. She faced it after the World War. No less a conservative than the late Andrew Bonar Law, British Prime Minister, was at one time convinced that Great Britain would have to resort to it to get her out of the postwar financial hole she was in. And Lord Reading. another British conservative, agreed with him. Britain ultimately did not have to resort to the capital levy. But this was only because her splendid national discipline made possible an income tax that ranged as high as 75. per cent and that turned the trick. The statement is heard on all sides that the French pay virtually no taxes. This is far from the truth. Taxes absorb 20 per cent of the national income, which.is as heavy as the average burden borne by the British—considerably heavier when the relative wealth of the two nations is considered. And yet this is not enough. What then is to be done? Even if able to borrow, which she is not, France would only add to her burden’by doing so. Manifestly she must eall on all her citizens, upon those who have capital, or own property, to come to the rescue in one way or another, call it a capital levy or by # any other name you please, I’here is nothing communistic or socialistic about all hands manning the pumps when a ship has sprung a leak and threatens to founder. It is really the very essence of coi*servatism.

Flotow, Gounod, Halevy, Mascagni, Mozart, Nicolai, Offenbach, Puccini, Rossini, Strauss, Thomas, Verdi, Wagner and many others. This department has received many requests for such a book. Here it is: “Stories From The Operas" by Davidson, published by J. B. Lippincott Cos., Philadelphia. . Very Interesting Some novels demand instant at tention and such seems ito be the case with “Parade” by Emily Post. Fung & Wagnails Cos., New York, have issued the following statement: “New York society life has been a favorite background for novelists Cider By Hal Cochran The trees have grown the apples and the wind has shook ’em down. You find ’em, lookin’ tempting, ’njid the leaves upon the ground. Ya pick up jes’ the best ones till a basket’s got its fill.

Ya stand there kinda thirsty as ya watch the sizzlin’ foam. Then ya get yer jug o’ cider and ya hike yer way fer horns. Mother bakes a batch of doughnuts and she sets ’em out ta cool. It's always kinda hard to wait ta eat ’em, as a rule. At last ya shake some sugar, an’ va dress ’em nice an’ white, and. then ya get the thriller as ya nibble off a bite.

since the days of .Washington Irving who was ostracised for his intimate revelations and sarcasm at the expense of the social elect. But very few of the many writers who have dramatized the life of the blue-book-ers have been born to the purple themselves. "Emily Post, member of New York and Tuxedo society, has successfully effected this dual role having attained the coveted honor also of being the author of a best seller. Her celebrated book on etiquette has enjoyed the distinction of a place among the six leaders of non-fiction for nearly three years. “Mrs. Post’s latest volume, ‘Parade,’ which has just been published by Funk & Wagnalls, is an intimate portrayal of life in the •fashionable world and relates the rise of a little southern girl from a ‘nobody’ to a reigning society beauty. Several critics have charged that the heroine story is an improbable character but Mrs. Post states that already her friends have suggested eighteen different members of the njelropolitan elite as the inspiration for her portrayal. But she refuses to divulge the model for her study. “Mrs. Post was one of the famous Baltimore Beauties, which included the Danghome sisters, who com pletely captured New York with their charms in the days when “the Four Hundred” was only 400, and she knows as few do the intimate life of a society befljity.” What is the “quad” used .as a printing term? Quad means to quadrants so as to space out aline. A quadrant is a piece of type-metal lower than the face of the letters and is used In spacing between words and filling out blank lines. Quad Is the common abbreviation for quadrant.

Eighteenth St. Board of works members contend they have no money to pay inspectors for street improvements, of which they have halted projects amounting to over a million dbllars. City council members on the other hand, any they refused money for inspectors because they did not wish politicians to collect commissions.

- RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA

-By GAYLORD NELSON

ALIENS CAN’T BE HELD EPORTA TION of alien criminals. barring out of undesirable foreigners and sweeping up immigrants who have entered the United States Illegally, engage the attention of Federal officials, Congressmen, thinking citizens and passionate patriots. Representative Albert H. Hall, Eleventh Indiana District, has added hi svoice to the hue and cry. In a recent public address he advocated deportation of aliens who fail to obey the prohibition enforcement act. The bars put up by the new Immigration law. rigorously restricting the number admitted, meets general approval. Now Federal Judge Cant of Minnesota., rules that aliens entering the country illegally can’t be held or imprisoned for such acts. By the decision eighty-three prisoners serving terms in Leavenworth for illegal entry must lie released. What’s the use of deporting aliens if they can’t be kept out? What’s the use of a restrictive Immigration law if those who violate Its provisions can’t be held under lock and key in punishment? The Federal Government in handling the alien question, just fumbles futilely. Its right band makes one gesture and its left hand another. Immigration authorities kick undesirable aliens ofT the front steps only to have them crawl over the back fence from Mexico or Canada. The maiden aunts of the State Department won’t let a member of the British Parliament visit this home of the brave because he is a professed radical. And as a Federal judge says an alien who enters illegally can’t be imprisoned for it. Perhaps be can be slapped on the wrist—if the slapping is done In a humane manner devoid of passion. Our immigration law looks well on the book—but most of its teeth are Just scenery. Those that do function bite in the wrong spots. HOUSES " TOO WARM ■priß. HERMAN G. MORGAN, | J for the moment secretary* —.. of the city board of health, says that the usual winter heating of Indianapolis dwellings and offices—houses too hot and the air too dry—is injurious to health. Our ancestors, he points out, kept warm around open fireplaces with room temperatures from 50 to 60 degrees. He believes ,we might emulate them with profit. That Americans overheat their homes and offices in winter Is frequently charged by medical gentlemen and visiting foreigners, particularly Englishmen. But such complaints seem academic to us Indianapolis . apartfrient dweii-rs and householders who are trying to extract a few genial calories out of seme of the stuff that masquerades in our midst as coal. If we can stoke up our furnaces to give us something—even pneumonia—we are grateful. We are as unlikely to get our homes too warm with the stuff as we are to have sunstroke this Hoosler autumn. It Is true that our ancestors knew nothing of steam radiators and other devices for ameliorating winter interiors. And they survived in drafty, barn-like houses, at a. temperature that would congeal a thin blooded modem. They survived not because of open fireplaces and low temperatures, but in spite of them. In those days people sewed themselves up in winter garments of wool and fur, which were not removed, even momentarily, until late spring. A bath in winter was high treason. Perhaps they enjoyed robust health as a result. By the time of the first sprfng thaw they must also have radiated a robust aroma. No wonder we speak of the hard winters of the past. A crowd of i our ancestors packed into a single room where the temperature rose above the perspiration point would make any winter hard. —hard on the olfactory nerves. We moderns prefer our superheated. * kiln-dried chambers to such ccwditiona. We don’t mind

F. J. KUESTER, 2714 Barth Ave. Lights are out of the question, because the board of works spent all Its money for downtowp lights. However, W. P. Hargon, clerk of the street commissioner’s office will investigate the street repairs. DEAR MR. FIXIT: We wrote you concerning street lights on Berwyn fit. some time ago and you answered It was Impossible to get any. But it wasn’t impossible to get one at McKinley and Manker Sts. Why do you play favorites? MRS. H. LENNTN, * 822 Berwyn St. Every application is presented by Mr. Fixit with equal fervor. Sometimes it’s a question of luck, but the board says there’ll be no more. Although Mr. Fixit has only an academic Interest In girls, a correspondent, evidently opposed to modern ways of women, contributed the following: DEAR MR. FLJHT: Here is a little advice to girls. Oh. girls, you may put on your diamonds and laces, flounce up your dresses with trimmings so gay. You may rub on the paint, powder your faces. But you’ll never' catch a true man that sort of a way.

BIG BUSINESS A GOOD CITIZEN SIK United States Steel Corporation has given tHfe sum of $50,000 for new buildings for a Gary (Ind.) church and Salvation Army headquarters In that city, according to an announcement. Two weeks ago the same horrible example of big business made a gift of $75,000 toward a municipal gymnasiign and auditorium for the city of Gary. Besides donations for religious, social welfare and public enterprises the State Corporation pays 50 per cent of the taxes collected in Gary. Not only Is it the father of tffiat Hoosler city, but it is a glorified municipal Santa Claus. Big business may be soulless and predatory. It may deserve all the denunciatory epithets hurled at it by parlor pinks. Certainly in the good old days when gigantlo industrial combines were in -process of _ formation, and the wery word “trust” scared innocent citizens into convulsions, big business deserved its evil reputation. It was selfish, arrogant and oppressive. But in recent year the so-called trusts have become more or less human. They have learned mo r than their rabid, chronic dotractors. They may still be a menace to the country at large and observe the teachings of the "Sermon on the Mount” very sketchily. Nevertheless-to the community In which it is located big business Is a good neighbor, a mighty pleasant, generous fellow citizen. What ambitious city in the country wouldn't like to domicile Gary’s Santa Claus? A PRINCIPLE AT STAKE I UPDATED candidates for I) town offices in Knlghtsville 1 I—a small village in Clay County—have filed suit contesting the election of their successful rivals. They charge illegal ballots w-ere counted. Maybe there are real grounds for the contest—ho%vever it Is quite natural for aspirants to office who' find themselves also rans the morning after election to suspect foul play. The town offices in question only pay the incumbents $22 a year—seemingly not enough to law about. And usually the offices went begging. Only the absolute refusal of present officers who have held over fcuir year to serve longer made an election necessary. Following that refusal Republicans and Democrats got together and each party drafted two men for a ticket. Immediately a second ticket was put in the field In opposition- A real ballot battle was started. Now the candidates on the second ticket, defeated apparently at the polls for offices the town couldn’t give-away a year ago, have taken their fight to the courts. There’s logic for you. But of course it isn't the money; there’s a principle at stake. There always is a principle at Btake when a man is running for office. That principle Is usually personal pride that Is harrowed by defeat. Take it by and large the average man is a funny animal—particularly If his name is on a ballot, any ballot.

‘Student Prince’ Is Mighty Fine Show; Royal Welsh Choir Lives Up to Record

"The Student Prince," an operetta by Dorothy Donellv an Sigmund Romberg, appearing at English's this week, deserves to be classed among the best productions of its kind in recent years. It’s male chorus is one that hould be long .-emem bored. The theme of the operetta lends Itself well tp unusually brilliant song effects. It has to Edo with a German prince of the sixties, who has been kept a virtual prisoner in the palace until he Is tyenty years old. Then he where he becomes one of the singing, dringing roistering students, on an equal footing with Heldleberg he meets Kathie, a Young waitress, and immediately falls In love with her. Os course, this was highly Improper for a prince and heir apparent to the throne. During the happiest months of his life he is summoned back to the capital to mount the throne and make a royal marriage. Halfrud Young appears In the leading role Prince Karl Frariz and In this part he displays considerable of both singing and acting ability. Jocleta Howe won the hearts of the audience as the little waitress, Kathie. Robert Greig Is funny in a comedy part and William Tucke” fills well the role of the elderly school master and companion of the princeScenlcally, "The Student Prince” Is exceptional. The royal palace scene at the opening of the third act is almost breath-taking In Its splendor. But mors than the acting and the scenic effects, Is "The Student Prince" notable for its singing. Particularly pleasing are the “Drinking Song.” and the “Students’ Serenade,” sung by the big male chorus.—F. F. B. I- I- -ITBUNKING IN TERMS OF FINE UHOIR MUSIC E. F. Albee is a real lover of the beauty as found in music and in the arts. Over the Kelth-Albee circuit, Mr. Albee from time to time brings to this couhtry groups of artists, who have distinct class appeal on the concert stage. When these same artists are presented in vaudeville, It Is often found that their appeal Is general Instead of being limited to certain classes of theater patrons. That is true this week at the local Keith house, where the Royal Mountain as Chorus or choir from England is headlining the bill. You will find great music in the way these men sing “March of the Men of Harlech,” “Old Black Joe,” "Fop j You yllone,” "Mothe) McCree,* and the tantalizing “Blue Danube Waltz.” Here are real voices. They use no showmanship. They Just sing as men would sing. There is so much natural charm about these men that i they do not have to resort to the-1 atrieal tricks or effects. They just sing, but goodness how they sing. Such attractions elevate the vaudeville stage. Here Is a real treat. Joe Weston and Grace Ellne have some very poor eccentric material. They should study themselves and get material which fits them. Bert Fitzgibbon and Brother Lew are back with their daffy dill stuff. Bert Is as daffy dill as ever. This j man, I think, created this brand of j entertainment. When you study this j man you will find definite eccentric ! artistry. The Wilton Sisters still are sisters > In their appearance on the stage, all lovely, smiling and nice. They have developed a certain routine which gets over. . They have some good novelty numbers. Probably the best j all-round program they have ever given vaudeville. They have worked for their success and they deserve it. George Yeoman and Lizzie have a radio novelty in "Information,” or

Short farces are given by the company that last only a minute or two. but which are packed full of laughs. Mona Ray, a diminutive member of the act, also comes out and sings and dances. Leo Beers and his piano, and that wonderful, self-assured air of his, in a very quiet way gets many laughs out of his audience. He sings little songs each wftliin an aVnusing surprise ending. Follls and Le Roy make their chief hit with several eccentric dances in which they show to advantage. Their act is made up of singing and dancing that has a rather well done bowery effect. Oliver and Olp set their act in a country railroad station, the girl Is the operator and the man takes the part of a drunk that has been thrown off his train.

Just try and figure all the things that they do. Arturo Bernardi is a whole company alone. By means of rapid changes of costume and makeup he stages two complete little comedy, playing each character himself. Then by means of transparent drapes he shows the audience how it is done. With the aid of two assistants, who are behind the drapes his costumes are changed completely In time so short it Is incredible. Stepping down Into the pit Bar* nardi takes his makeup with him and proceeds to direct the orchestra as the old masters would have done while playing their own pieces. The Cain Sister’s with the aid of a piano and a banjo “uke” put out some feet tickling jazz. One of the girls also does tho Charleston in a way that makes a hit. Marion and Jerry Ross have a little sketch of a young fellow, who has taken a strange girl home from a dance and who tries to beg a kiss from her. Humorous. Howard and Ross in their act have featured the banjo and the man makes it do some very Interesting things.
