Dunes Park [pH EVELOPMENT of Dunes Park along the IUI south short of Lake Michigan, made possiute by an Indiana tax levy and by generous gifts of Elbert H. Gary, president of the United States Steel Corporation, and Julius Rosenwald, president of the board of directors of Sears, Roebuck and Company, is an extremely worthwhile undertaking. Until comparatively few years ago, the south shore of Lake Michigan was an almost uninhabited wilderness. The land was entirely unproductive, so far as agriculture was concerned. Then came the United States Steel Corporation and developed the city of Gary, leading to the development of the entire Lake county region into a metropolitan district which before many years will exceed Indianapolis in population. It was then that the dunes began to be appreciated, for the reason that more people became acquainted with their beauty. Now Indiana is developing them into a great park, to contain 1,800 acres. This will be a wonderful outdoor beauty spot and recreational center, not only for the people of northern Indiana, but for thousands from Chicago, as well. The park is considerable distance from Indianapolis, but it will repay the trouble of a visit even from this distance.

Food for Children [q-|OME day every State in the Union will I 1 provide food for all the under-nourished children in all the schools, says Judge Henry Neil of Chicago. Neil has opened a campaign to this end. In many States, including Indiana, milk and other food is given under-nourished school children now, but as a rule money for this must be donated or the food must be sold at cost price to those who can afford to pay. A model bill authorizing authorities of the District of Columbia to buy food for undernourished children has been introduced in Congress. Whether or not it is passed at this session, Neil hopes the bill will be introduced in various State legislatures when they convene again and will enlist supporters in all parts of the country. Neil campaigned for years in behalf of mothers’ pension laws, which have now been adopted in a majority of States, not including Indiana.

A Book for Your Boy mF YOUR boy likes history he’ll be fascinated. If he thinks history is dull, he’ll change his mind. Buy him a copy of “Jefferson and Hamilton,” written by Claude G. Bowers, a Hoosier who lately has moved to New York. After you’ve read it—of course, you 11 read it first; just as you wear out his, new train of cars each Christmas before he gets a chance to play with it—your boy will have something to keep him happy for a good many winter evenings. The volume reads like a novel. It’s as exciting as Frank Merriwell and yet as well authenticated as a Department of Commerce report. It’s a story of living, breathing peoplei city dandies and buckskinned frontiersmen, fighting patriots and scheming nickel shavers, fine ladies and toilworn washerwomen—real men and women. We apt to think the citizens of Revolutionary days were different from ourselves and that their problems were different. One thing that Bowers’ book reveals is that railroads, automobiles, telephones, radio and the rest have not changed human nature. The same human forces were contending against one another 150 years ago that are contending now. The book throws a light not only on the generation of George Washington, but on the generation of Calvin Coolidge. You—and your boy, of course—should read it.

Are Women Equal? A r “—I RE women now men’s physical equals and independent of protective laws? Senator Hiram Johnson, backed by a large body of social workers, says “No.” He has introduced a constitutional amendment in Congress permitting States to pass minimum wage laws for women. The members of the Women’s Party say, “Yes.” They are out to fight the Johnson amendment or to amend it to include minimnm wages for men also. Their contention that women are now able to cope equally in industry is supported by their own amendment, introduced by Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas. This forbids States to pass any laws discriminating against the sexes. What do our women readers think on the subject ?

The Flemings make up some five-eighths of the population, living chiefly In Antwerp, Limburg and Brabant. The Walloons dwell chiefly In the - eglons of the Ardennes. How did the American Indians tan their furs? The methods used by the various tribes differed somewhat, principally in the chemicals used and the amount of labor given to the task. Among the plains tribes, with whom the art is still in constant practice and practically in accord with the ancient methods, the process of tanning consists of six principal stages, viz.: Fleshing, scraping, braining, stripping, graining and working.

A Woman’s Viewpoint

A Book to Read By Mrs. Walter Ferguson EHE American Bible is to distribute seven million Bibles In 1926. What a boon to fretful humanity if all could be read with Intelligence. The Bible, for every man, holds hidden treasures and no heart, however cold, can read therein each day without comfort and sustenance of spirit. Within its pages there la Intellectual food for all. The sweetest romances, the greatest truths, the most colossal dramas, tho direst tragedies. There is prose more moving and rhythmical than any poem; language that is like music, and phrases that echo from the page like perfect harmonies in words. There may be found cynicism, rebellion, satire, complaint, philosophy, mystery, prophecy, hope. There you may lea. n how to live, how to love, and how to die. Take up your neglected Bible and comprehend the riches It brings, to you. No matter what your belief, you cannot fall to sense the magnificent simplicity of those words which read: “And God said, let there be you cannot fail to be moved by the clear-cut tales of the ancient Hebrews and their jealous tribal God; you cannot fail to see that those ten commandments thundered down by Moses to the wandering children of Israel are fit rules to govern any life. Scan, too, the story of the brave Esther, more interesting and colorful than any modem novel; the tale of Ruth, sweetest of all the Jewish legends; the stupendous outcries of Job; the exquisite poetry of the Psalms; the most beautiful love lyrics of any language; the Song of Solomon; the wailings of Israel; the doleful lamentations of Jeremiah, and that most wonderful book of them all —Ezekiel And how shall pen fittingly describe the simplicity, the loveliness, the utter perfection of the four gospels, story of the noblest man who ever trod the earth, whose short thirty years of existence have Influenced all men and all events that came after him, whose admonitions breathe that love and forbearance which we know Is never of this earth, that divlnest creature, Jesus of Nazareth? Surely, for saint or sinner, for credulous or doubting, for Illiterate or learned. His Book of Life is still the greatest biography of them all.

3 RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA

By GAYLORD NELSON

WHO YOUNG PEOPLE M-— tARION County Juvenile court officers were appealed to Saturday by a 15-year-old Indianapolis gird for protection against her father. She is afraid to go home. She ran away from home a oouple of nights before because of her father’s harshness. He will not let her go with other young fplks or have “dates.” “He won’t even let me have an Intimate girl friend,” she declared. The father, when reporting his daughter’s disappearance said she had no Intimate friends with whom she might be staying. “I don’t allow her to have dates or go with the young folks to any extent,” he explained virtuously. “They are all too wild nowadays.” Theoretically he is, perhaps right. His strictness can be defended on the ground that hp has his daughter’s welfare at heart and desires to shelter her from a rowdy world and pitfalls during her Impressionable years. And certainly some present day boys and girls are wild, according to rumors. But practically he made a mess pt It. Repression Instead of turning his daughter into a plaster saint made her fly the coop. Young people naturally crave the friendship and companionship of those of their own age. To deny them such proper and natural associations Is guaranteed to make the tamest young people wild. RAILROADING AT A LOSS | p SHIPPERS along the line of I u I ***• Central Indiana RallL—.J road have asked assistance of the State Chamber of Commerce to prevent abandonment of this railroad, as proposed by the owners In a petition to the Interstate Commerce Commlsslo. For fifty years the Central Indiana Railroad, which strays loosely over the Hoosier landscape from Muncle to Waveland Junction, has been operated at a loss. It has dragged dejectedly from bankruptcy to bankruptcy. Three years ago passenger service was discontinued and the line became exclusively a freight carrier. Still It lost money. Doubtless If the owners tore up the tracks and quit It would impose hardship on the towns and shippers along the route without other transportation facilities. But If the railroad is a losing venture why shouldn’t It be abandoned? Would any of the protesting shippers continue to operate their own businesses, for the sake of public convenience, !f they lost money year after year? How would they like to be regulated by Federal authorities that could compel them to continue operations at a loss? That’s the power the Interstate Commerce Commission has over railroads—they can’t even die without permission. Try operat lng an unprofitable branch line railroad l( you want to keep from growing old. publicityTmT DISEASE TXTY-ONE cases of smallpox wepe reported in Inl—i dlana last week —according to the State board of health. Five were In cities and flfty-stx In the rural sections of the State. The newspaper carried the report as any other Item of news of Interest to, and affecting, Hoosiers. No one got excited. But in Tampa, Fla.. In which city thirty-nine cases of smallpox are reported, city boosters and luncheon clubs oppose aiky publicity on the number of smallpox cases In the city and call upon the newspapers to suppress any news of the situation. It might be bad for business, they arguf. Bo the city health officer has to resort to printed circulars to apprise people of the facts and combat further spread of the disease. The smallpox situation in Tampa is perhaps serious, but not alarming. Naturally with population Increasing more rapidly than sanitary facilities, and with an Influx of all sorts of people from all parts of the country the city Is certain to experience an increase in communicable diseases. The facts may frighten a few timid souls, who might otherwise visit Tampa, but can’t permanently injure the development of the city. Why should hypersensitive city boosters object to their publication? In a threatened epidemic wild, unsubstantiated rumors do more harm than actual, authoritative facts publicly given out. No outbreak or disease was ever successfully controlled by a “sh! sh!” policy.

NO SUBSTITUTE FOR MARRIAGE M r—— 4.RRIAGE Is still popular In Marion County, according I—J to the annual report of the county board of health. In 1925 there were 4,459 such unions—£.n Increase of 714 over the previous year. That ought to quiet the nerves of some perturbed sociologists who claim, the marriage Institution Is on its last legs and the social order is going to pot In consequence. Every once in a While some advanced socialist, who thinks he is thinking, discovers that matrimony Is a survival of the Dark Agea, ft ball and chain performance stifling the soul and Individual development. He advocates the substitution of some sort of free love scheme. The latest of these free love schemes—April Farm in Pennsylvania—founded by young Mr. Goriazul, who broke Into the head-

lines several years ago by refusing a legacy of SBOO,OOO, has Just struck a snag. April Farm, where twelve adults and three children now live In promiscuous bliss Is described by its promoter as an “experiment in social science.” Pennsylvania State authorities call it “a free love oolony” and ask the courts to refuse It a charter on 'moral grounds. So probably this experiment is on the way to ashcan almost before it Is begun, like all of those of similar purpose in the past. Os course the connubial yoke Is galling to us pure, free spirits. But there Is really no satisfactory substitute for matrimony with Its stable, eduring family relationship unless Burbank can arrange to grow children on trfees.

The SAFETY VALVE It Blows When the Pressars Is Too Great. ■ By The Stoker

Andrew Mellon Is apparently about to get his. Congress and the New York World have started to deflate htn tires. Also Lynn Haines. In the latter’s forthcoming book, "Your Servants in the Senate, etc.,’’ Haines has a chapter on Mellon as the "Master Mind.” It Is full of authoritative citation and bears evidence of thorough research. Among other things Haines concludes: “There are three crucial facts, then, which appear to be absolutely beyond dispute: “First, that Mr. Mellon holds the office of Secretary Treasury In violation of law: “Second, that he is undoubtedly the outstanding world wide exponent of modern industrialism, having practiced every device that monopolies may employ for purely profit purposes: and "Third, that his official positions are such as to constitute a supergovernmental influence which can be utilized to Advance his own enterprises and those of the industrial class to which he belongs, at the expense of the public welfarg,” • • • It la odd that Cal Cbolidge should be quoted with approval by Clarence Darrow, but so he is In the Scopes appeal brief and we are glad to note it even If Judd Weillver did write the Omaha speech from which the quotes are taken.

Concerning Mme. Carreras

By Walter D. Hickman POWERFUL piano Is Mme. Maria Carreras' chief attrii. J bute, a carefully controlled but a powerful piano. I carried away from the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon the impression that I had come in contact With a pianist who challenges attention throughout her entire concert. It was during the Chopin suite that the artist seemed to command that attention which reacts only to great and powerful artistry. We all seemed to have the feeling that during the playing of Chopin's “Fantasy, F minor, Op. 49” that a powerful piano was being presented. It became so towering In Its pure musical strength t noticed that most members of the audience were leading forward to watch the hands which created such powerful piano. When I go to a concert, I like to approach It as a guest and not in the spirit of knowing It aIL I have never placed myself In that false position. When I find great beauty and a something happens—then I know the worth of the artist I see Or hear. Mme. Carreras possesses that intellectual power of interpretation as well as “exhibition" which* gives her a commanding position on the concert stage. I know she play a beautiful pls.no, and In so doing she brought increased beauty and appreciation to Chopin as well as Beethoven. Gentle beauty, rapid at times, was revealed In her playing of Chopin’s "Nocturne.” Mme. Maria Carrermc was presented Sunday afternoon In concert by the Indianapolis Maennerohor.

Simple in Theme Is ‘His People’ but So Human It Is One of World’s Wonders

By Walter D. Hickman LTHOUGH it has Just a simI i\| pie little theme of home life, l- tJ “His People” Is so human, true and magnificent in Its realism that It becomes one of the ten wonders of the movie world. Am not crazy when I tell you now that if I was asked to make a list of the ten ’movies that 1 like best I would inkraut In the list. tude of genuine follower whor. lie truns up against. if|jßS such a picture Am going to make a plea, If George Lewis you have any faith in my idea of what Is great entertainment, then find time to see ”Hls People.” So there will be no misunderstanding when you get Into the Colonial this week —“His People” Is a story of Jewish, Irish and New York Grotto life as it exists. “Hig People” is to the screen just as “Abie's Irish Rose’’ is to he legitimate stage. Some critics branded “Abie’s” an awful mess, but it is I NOW the only play on Broadway that Is In the fourth continuous year lof a run. “Abie” was human entertainment, and that was the basic [ reason of its great success. And for | the same reason “His People” Is just as great a success on the screen. "His People" is a comedy of life, snatched out of the little room where a Jewish family, headed by Rabbi Moisha Cominsky (played by Dudolph Schildkraut), actually lives. Across the tenement alley lives an Irish family, presided over by Mrs. Shannon (played by Kate Price). You will howl with joy when Sammy Cominsky, a newsboy with a boxing tendency, calls his father "Pop.’’ The old man cries out In despair, “Why should I live to be called “Pop?” But "Pop” he was to Sammy, the roughneck representative of the family, but the real I article. Sammy never passed up a | comer scrap and he wasn’t too proud to fight for money, a good clean scrap. For being a “fight boxer,” Sammy Is considered a family disgrace. And so old Moisha turns his love to the eldest son, Morris, one of those book-worm persons who cheats, lies and even disowns his old father and mother. It is Sammy who knocks the “devil” out of Morris and makes him realize the glorious meaning of home. Sammy stages a prize fight In “His People,” which is *ueh a fight I that this one scene should make this picture the talk of the town, The fight Is a. corker, the best ever put Into a photoplay, because It Is a necessary part 6t the dramatic and human action of the story. Now let me, please, go to the cast. You will meet a continental actor, Rudolph Schildkraut He has played over 400 roles on the stage, but this Is his first movie role. Schildkraut does as great acting and as human as Emil Jannings did in “The Last Laugh.” You will agree that Jannings hit the highwater mark laat season by his work In “The Last Laught” and now Schildkraut becomes the dramatic comic and realistic sensation of the current season. He Is never out of character even when he Is making you howl with laughter—especially when "soaks” his fur overcoat to get a dress suit for Morris, .the apple of his eye, and when he Is forced to take medicine. Moisha Cominsky is a living being*. Here is great and powerful acting if It ever existed “Delicious” ■ s the word to tie used regarding

THE VERY IDEA!

Laughter SHE funny side of life, it seems, slips by a lot of folk. They never got the benefit of any bloomin' joke. The little things that tickle one, and oft provoke a smile, are just the things that, after all, make living worth the while. I have a lot of sympathy for men who cannot grin. They lose the fun most people get' by letting sunshine In. Their facial lines, Instead of up, are always turning down. But this would change if they would let a smile replace their frown. A hearty welcome always awaits the man who’s full of cheer. The world at large will greet him ’cause It’s mighty glad he’s here. He spreads the sort of spirit that can make the world look bright. He thinks a lough’s a tonio and he always finds he’s right. Come on, you sombre people who are dull and sad of face, produce a smile and knock the frown and sourness out of place. You’ve only got. to try a bit: it’s soft to make the grads. Step out and throw a laughter fit and Join the joy parade. * • • After all, it’s foolish to lose your temper 'cause you can’t expect anyone to rush around trying to help you find ife • • • THEY DOVT MEAN ANYTHING "No Smoking Allowed.” “This Entrance for Emploves Only."

Kate Price as Mrs. Shahnon. George Lewis makes Sammy Cominsky (grown up) a real lad with a true heart and with a mean pair of battling fists. Splendid. Rosa Rosanova as Rosie Cominsky, the mother of Sammy and Morris, reveals marvelous realistic touches. The entire cast Is magntflclent. It is a Universal-Jewell picture.

Rudy, in this Instance, was so chilled by the foolish old Empress, who attempted to act lilte a flapper, that he rushed out of the palace. The Czarina then ordered that Rudy be considered a deserter (that is the character he plays. Can’t spell the Russian name) and that the penalty be death. Os course, our hero turns bandit to avenge the death of his Russian dad who lost his estate to a Russian villain. Rudy falls in love with the daughter of the villain. Nearly for'gut to tell you that Rudy must take a disguise, so he become a bold bad bandit by the name of "The Eagle.” And as such he meets the daughter of the bold bad man who robbed his own dad. But Cupid softens many an oath of vengeance and does so in this case. Vllma Banky, a promising new person to the screen, is the lady who exchanges those hot and lingering kisses wtth Valentino. “The Eagle” Is the right kind of a vehicle for Valentino. Not a powerful story, but the thing that one expects and Is willing to pay to see Valentino appear in on the screen. And If you own a nice sense of humor, you will howl at, not with, Louise Dresser, as the naughty Czarina. It Is to laugh smartly when Louise os the Czarina stages her bedroom scene.
