More Cash in the Banks lESOURCES of Indiana State banks and trust companies at the close of the year 1925 showed an increase during the year of $65,138,144.56—acc0rding to recent report of Thomas D. Barr, State bank commissioner. Total resources of the 851 financial institutions included in the report were $705,089,962.24. There is more money in Hoosier banks than ever—despite the bandits, the fake stock swindles, the depressed corn market, the world court, and the Florida boom. In three years resources of Hoosier State hanks hive increased $170,000,000. That sounds like the press agent’s dream of a movie queen’s salary. But it isn’t stage money. It represents the actual results of the thrift and increased prosperity of tloosier farms,- business and industry. Indiana hasn’t experienced any spectacular boom nor is it widely heralded as a land of promise like some other section of the country whither people' flock. It is just staying at home doing business at the old stand. Sometimes it seems that the lure of the muchadvertised distant sections, where glittering opportunities ripe for the plucking are reputed to hang on every hush, will depopulate the Hoosier State. Indianians flock to Florida, California, New York, Chicago and heaven, until one who stays at home may fear that he will soon be the sole survivor of a once teeming population. But he needn’t be alarmed. A State where tangible wealth is steadily increasing, whose hank resources increase $65,000,000 in a year, is a good State in which to live and do business. It won’t soon revert to the stage of an : uninhabited wilderness. A Chance for Two Men to Be Men A"™! CHANCE has been presented for David A. Reed to prove he is a man as well as a United States Senator, and for Andrew W. Mellon to prove he is a man, as well as Secretary of the Treasury. This is said in all seriousness and in the belief that both may be big enough to accept : the chance. On the floor of the Senate, Senator Reed ' referred to a young Washington attorney as a “discharged Government employe.” The official records disclose that the young man was not discharged from Government service, that : be resigned voluntarily—“without prejudice,” ; in the language of the record. Senator Reed ; is a lawyer and probably knows some of the | difficulties of a man just starting his career ; in that profession. It is harmful to him to be | labeled in So public a manner as a discharged employe. Reed will play the part of a man if he : will publicly apologize for his misstatement. Mellon’s opportunity grows out' of me j same incident. Senator Norris, discussing the necessity for | publicity concerning the operations of the in- | come tax bureau, made an erroneous statei ■ ment. He said that the Mellon National Bank, j the Union Trust Company and' the Union ! Savings Bank of Pittsburgh, had been allowed ! by a special ruling of the income tax bureau to I file a “consolidated return” for the year 1917. : So doing, as he understood it, they saved $91,000. Reed took- the floor, announced he was a director in all three companies, and argued convincingly that, under the law only a consoli- , dated return was right and proper. He probably was right arid Norris wrong. : This is the history of the case: The three banks first- filed a consolidated return and it was ac-

cepted by the tax bureau. Then the attorneys for the hanks discovered that $91,000 could be saved by filing separate returns instead of the one. The attorneys were Reed, Shaw, Smith & McClay of Pittsburgh—Senator Reed’s own firm! This firm succeeded, over the opposition of the young Washington lawyer referred to—he was then employed in the income tax bureau—in getting the bureau’s ruling reversed and permission granted to file separate returns. The young man in question argued in vain, though he used exactly the same argument that Senator Reed used later on the floor of the Senate. The Mellon National Bank, the Union Trust Company and the Union Savings Bank got their $91,000 hack. Now, Secretary Mellon’s attorney (Senator Reed) having proved, even though unwittingly, that Secretary Mellon’s banks gypped the Government out of $91,000 —right in Mellon’s own department—what should Secretary Mellon do? The law, if we are not mistaken, will permit Secretary Mellon to return that $91,000. In any case the treasury has what is called a “Conscience Fund,” which is constantly receiving moneys from persons who feel they have defrauded the Government and wish to make restitution. There is Secretary Mellon’s chance. And the beauty of it is that he can afford it financially. „ Outjingoing the Jingoes f a ]N American in the pay of Japan—one I 1 Frederick Moore, formerly of Tokio but now of Washington—is quoted in the Japan Advertiser as having made some amazing charges against this country. “Despite the work of the Washington conference,” he is reported as having said in a speech before a foreign missions gathering, “the American Navy in the past four years has carried qut the greatest naval program the world has ever, known. “America has spent more on naval armaments than all the rest of the sea powers combined • • * The American Navy is vastly larger * • * than that of any other nation in the world.” We sincerely trust Mr. Moore has been misquoted. Otherwise he is not only going out of his way to misrepresent his own country at a time when great harm might come of it, but he is misleading the public of Japan, the power that pays him his wages. The United States Naval Institute gives the following figures for naval vessels laid down or appropriated for since Feb. 6, 1922, date of the Washington Conference referred to by Mr. Moore: Battleships: United States, none; Britain, 2; Japan, none. Aircraft carriers; United States, 2; Britain, 2; Japan, 2. Light cruisers: United States, 2; Britain, 11; Japan, 12. Cruiser mine layers: United States, none; Britain, 1; Japan, 1. United States, none; Britain, 2; Japan, 35. Submarines: United States, 3; Britain, 3; Japan, 30. Gunboats: United States, 6; Britain, 4; Japan, 4.

Supply ships: United States, none; Britain, none v Japan, 1. Total : United States, 13; Britain, 25; Japan, 96. Such is the answer to Mr. Moore. It is truly tragic if making speeches of the tenor suggested constitutes his idea of what he is paid to do. Surely that is not what the Japanese Embassy either wants or expects of him. It knows as well as anybody that that sort of thing does not make for better understanding. To the contrary.

Cantor in Little Talk Tells Why Prince of Wales Is Very Democratic Fellow

By Walter D. Hickman SHE beam “am spilled" all over the table, and even the cover. Scandal will out In the very best of families. Am now trying to let you In on a royal secret. Do you know, now I ask you, why the Prince of Wales Is a democratic chap? Eddie Cantor, In a curtain speech which Is about as Important as the whole show In "Kid Boots,” lets It be known In public that he knows the Prince. He declares that he, one Eddie Cantor, was Invited to entertain the Prince at a house party It. New York because “the Prince wants the best." so says Eddie. And then Eddie declares that the Prince Is democratic because the Prince stole two of Eddie’s drinks. In other words, again a personality, unique In history of the stage, la before us. Like Jolson. the ourtain talk Is necessary and Is given. It Is like the play Itself. Not better than the whole show by a long shot, bn Important enough to he a part of the show. And while 'he curtain talk Is being made, Miss Ijoulse Brown, who took the place of the New York and part of the Chicago run, place of Mary Eaton, la oh the stage. Eddie admits that Miss Brown has been with the company only three weeks. And If this is done to focus attention upon merit. I might suggest that Miss Ethellnd Terry and Miss Jobyna Howland should be present when the sweet words are scattered. But Miss Terry and Miss Howland are probably handicapped by being with the show more than three weeks, many more of them. This is no reflection upon Miss Brown —she has that personality thing and ability which makes her an easy favor*lt will take time to develop it hut r.ie is there In a hundred Ways. And so is Miss Terry and Miss Howland. "Kids Boots" is an Eddie Cantor shoW although Florenz Zlegfeld presents the show and the star. Cantor is always Cantor and In his particular Held he is a leader. The Zlegfeld todch often is seen in lavish song pictures and many good looking people upon the stage. There Is beauty, melody, good dancing, several beautiful pictures and much of Eddie Cantor in this show. You buy tickets to see Eddie Cantor, not “Kid Boots.” But Zlegfeld has given the show an expensive background and much talent. The play or rather the story is built around the golf idea. Probably next season it will not be golf at all but Florida. You get seventeen holes in this show and they are all filled with melody or comedy. Cantor builds up his own stuff—it is always Cantor and he will not disappoint you. The show is clean and It Is honest. No art poses, but a real show for the whole family. Not a dull affair but a smart and big show, peopled with some real talent. I list, only myself, the talent leaders as follows: Eddie Cantor. Ethellnd Terry. Jobyna Howland. Louise Brown. Harland Dixon. Horton Spurr in an event at the eighth hole. And the elaborate and honest settings given each scene. Just like Jolson, "Kid Boots" depends upon the way the star works. Cantor Is working. He Is a big star. He Is working at English's. He takes no half way applause. He gives so much that an ovation must be given. It is only fair. "Kid Boots,” with Cantor. Miss Terry, Miss Howland, Miss Brown is a safe and delicious entertaining buy. At English's all week. -1- -I- -IFAMILIAR FACES ON VIEW AT THE LYRIC Two familiar faces are back at the Lyric for the week. They are A1 Lydell and William Mason, two men who have made the Civil War furnish them with a delightful dpmedy skit. Taking the parts of an old grand army veteran and that of an old sea captain of the period, they present the everlasting struggle of the army and naVy, even In retirement. Their dialogue Is full of smart and witty “cracks.” "Yqu Gotta Dance,” is the title

of a dancing revue with some fine talent in it's makeup. Consists of three women and two men. Two of the girls put out good harmony and with one of the men are good dancers. A feature of the act Is the dancing of the team "Bob and Bobette,” who center their offering on acrobatic dancing. They do one dance, an apache thing, from anew angle. Along with their excellent interpretation of the dance they inject some good comedy Into It. Bays and Speck are a blackface team whose sly humor reaches out and makes one laugh. They have a keen way of telling a Joke. Roland Ardery and Company have a comedy sketch concerning a girl, her father and the boy she loves. The boy is not quite what the father would wish as a son-in-law and the fun is worked out from the father’s examination of the prospect. Kirby, Bryan and Mack have a good act with a rather lame start. After they get going however they put out some good harmony and fun. Their best bet is a burlesque done in the Spanish manner. Act numbers two men and a woman. The Stantiago Trio, two men and a woman, offer some Spanish dancing and some balancing feats of aklll. The woman dancer certainly has a fine assortment of man'illas. shawls or whatever they are called. Staley’s Mystic Garage closes the bill with music from all sort of things. They do f. quick change In which the whole- character of the stage is changed in a moment. At the Lyric all wiek. (By the Observer.) -I- -1- -I A LITTLE OF THIS AND VERY MUCH OF THAT The current hill at Keith’s may be summed up as follows. A little of this and very much of that. The "this" is represented by the Four Jansleys; the Hamiltons and

Fordyce; 'Margit Hegedus, and Mehlinger and Williams. Have always been Interested in the work of the Four Jansleys, rlsley experts. These men work with remarkable speed and each season show not only an Improvement In their old stunts, but they work out anew climax. The climax this week Is the

y jdglgripL

work of two of the M&rgit He god us youngest members on the feet of one of the men at thf* same time. Mighty good act. Margit Hegedus is a violinist who refuse* to yield to the demand for popular music. She plays good music well, but I maintain there should be a mixture of taste upon the vaudeville stage. The ooncert stage is different. Pearl ami Violet Hamilton are again present with Jessie Fordyce in "Playtime.” The blackface work of Miss Pearl Hamllton really carries the act to sucess. Also the grand opera Impression done by Jessie Fordyce Is splendid. Act pleases with ease. And In speakj®* of "this” on the bill, I want toe£o back to a memory of the heart. Sam Williams and Artie Mehlinger. The heart haa reference to Sam Williams. I cannot see this man unless the memory of a wonderful woman leaves Its final place. She knows that Sam is earning on—on and on to make the world a happier place. Mehlinger l and Williams in their own way today are carrying on an Idea. But I must remember the personality of other years with Sam Williams. The final message of that wonderful personality has not gone wrong. Mehlinger and Williams are a happy success. The “very much of that" will be listed as follows: Charles Withers and his experience with the dripping paste pot in a something called "Withers Op’ry." Have your own idea lbout this act today. To me It is not a laugh. To others it is awt w. Have the right to your own opinion. Olivette Haynes and Fred E. Beck suffer with material that Is not brilliant. My idea. Many others will not agree. Frldkin, Jr., and Rhoda, novelty

dancers, open to poor advantage, because they do not make clear just what is happening. But they do improve wonderfully before their final curtain. The movie is "Charley, My Boy.” At Keith’s all tveek. -I- 'l' ITHK OBSERVER APPRECIATES THE PRINCESS RADJAH To the melody of slow moving and sensuous oriental music, Princess Radjah at the Palace today and tomorrow, softly dances herself Into the appreciation of her audience. And then with her

metal castanets clinking In her fingers she breaks into some wild and vivid thing expressing the Are and temperament hidden under the calm exterior of old Egypt Unusual are two of the dances this woman does. The first Is an Interpretation by means of the dance, of the death of that beautiful and am-

Bobby Bernard bltlous queen of the Nile, Cleopattra. In a corner of the stage is a bust of Anthony, her former lover. Swiftly she dances in front of this shrine and then as the music grows ceeper anl fiercer she stops. Clutcha snake to her bresst she p-esses It firmly there where It’si poisonous fangs can bite deep Into the firm, white flesh. Throwing it from her she resumes her dance, only to finally fall dead before her Anthony. As the final dance of her act, the Princess does another very unusual thing. Placing a chair in the middle of the stage, she dances over to It, and, reaching down, picks It up in her teeth and dances with the chair held high over her head, holding It only by her teeth. She Is a very unusual woman and an entertainer of no ordinary ability. Bernard and Kellar are a man and woman with anew line of comedy in their act of the order of slapstick dialogue, if It may be called such. They take the parts of a man ahd his wife, whose matrimonial venture has ceased to be a pleasure ever since their wedding day. Are good funmakers. The Seven Collegians are seven men who try for the laughs by burlesquing the chorus girls of our modem revues. They have a prima donna, chorus and everything, but they’re all boys. O’Brien and Josephine, a man and woman, center their fun on the wise cracks and actions of a traveling man, who Is trying to get himself In good with the village belle. Also good fun. Dawson, Lanlgan and Covert are expert Interpreters of the tap dance In Its many and varied forms. Act numbers two men and one woman.

Famous Composers Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky I C jAVAGE gayety and profound melancholy, strange I | varied -rhythms and a ta&te for strong color—all these national traits of the Russian people are represented 1 in the music of Tschaikovsky, Russia’s greatest composer. The son of a mining engineer, he was born in the iron mining town of Votkinsk, in the Ural Mountains, in 1840, just at the time when Russian musicians were working to establish a national music. Although he first studied law, , he was always an enthusiastic lover of music, and at 21 he began the serious study of that art in the conservatory of mUsic at St. Petersburg Five years later he was graduated with honors and appointed professor of harmony in the Moscow conservatory. His operas produced during the next ten years were unsuccessful, and his orchestral compositions were received with indifference Tschaikovsky’s fame as a composer came late in life and was due mainly to his orchestral music. His ballets, “Sleeping Beauty,” and “The Nut-Cracker” and hi* “Pathetic Symphony” are, in foreign lands, the best known of his compositions. The “Dance of the Flues” is from the “Nut-Cracker” ballet. Note—Ffcts about a famous composer whose work Is being studied In the schools will be printed in The Times each day. It Is suggested that these articles be preserved by pupils for their muslo scrapbooks.

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON—

RAISING FUNDS TO DRAW INDUSTRIES SERRE HAUTE boosters and civic leaders have adopted a plan for a mllllon-doUar Industrial foundation —a corporation—to aid In financing new industries and Industrial expansion in that city. Shares in the corporation will be sold to cltlsens generally, according to their means and interest. Thus Terre Haute actually starts to do what Indianapolis has only talked about and threatened from time to time. It Is beginning a regular, comprehensive, wellfinanced campaign to attract new industries and stimulate the city’s industrial growth. More than six months ago Sol Meyer, of the Meyer-Klser Bank, proposed a mllllon-doUar fund to be used In promoting Indlana.polls industrially. He offered to contribute $25,000 to such an enterprise. Followed a week of energetlo and enthusiasts discussion of the plan by civic organizations and representative citizens. Then the world serleß, a snappy murder, or some other subject came along and attracted attention. The Industrial promotion plan was pushed Into the background and forgotten. Nothing was done. Irately Homer McKee has again pricked the city booster spirit into activity by a couple of speeches and his mllllon-population-club scheme. He suggests a real program for pushing Indianapolis forward. Will It ever get beyond the conversational stage or will it gradually subside like other booster plans that have been proposed? Indianapolis haa the makings of a great city. But It can’t he made so by merely talking abouv If, TARDY REWARD OF A HERO rpriENATOR ARTHUR ROBIU I INSON has introduced a I- ■ I bill into Congress to restore the rank of Captain to Sergt. Samuel Woodflll, who was bom In Jefferson County, Indiana, served for many years in the regular Army and was one of the conspicuous heroes of the World War. Asa nation we love our heroes, intend to reward them suitably and all that, but we are so forgetful. When Sergeant Woodflll, who served in France with the A. E. F. ns captain, returned to this country he was accalimed as one of our greatest heroes. General Pershing publicly so designated him because of his gallant attack and single-handed capture at a German machine gun nest. He was given all sorts of medals and applause. Then, the war over, his wartime commission as captain was taken from him and he returned to the regular Army as a sergeant and soon retired on a "sergeant’s pay after thirty years’ service in the Army. Senator Robinson’s bill, if passed, will be tardy recognition of one who wrote a bright page in his country’s history. Even then Sergeant Woodflll will find that his reputation as ft hero and fighter doesn't pay very big. j From the standpoint of profit he made a mistake fighting in France. If he had stayed at home and fought with padded gloves, like Jack Dempsey, he might now be a great hero , in the movies, and financially Independent.

spent for cosmetics and tobaoco in 1922 exceeded by liO per cent the total endowment of all colleges and universities In the United States." "A nation sufficiently wealthy to afford such expenditures is sufficiently wealthy to see that the present system of education Is supported and expanded,” he added. Well, Isn’t our present system of education being supported and expanded as necessary? No other country spends such great sums, public and private, for education as America, and no other country has such a complete system of free publio schools. Colleges and universities—Utate Institutions and privately endowed —are maintained In the United States on a scale unknown elsewhere at any period in the world s history. We have a score of universities larger and better equipped than Oxford and Cambridge—the two greatest English educational Institutions. Very few who want college educations need forego them because of any lack of college facilities. All of which proves that there is a real Interest In providing an adequate system of education In this country—and there Is no atg| surance that. If we spent twice much on the system. It would be twice as good. We may spend more on cosmetics and tobacco than on education; more on movies than on churches; more for chewing gum than for hospitals. That doesn’t prove that we think only of our appetites and pleasures. It proves that the United States is an immensely rich nation not that it starves and neglects its schools, churches and hospltala
