A CIVIC .REVIVAL In this age of competition between cities, and there is real competition as industry and commerce is being reorganized on anew basis, the winners are those in whinji civic pride and faith runs highest. The drive at present under the slogan of Indianapolis First is a call to that pride and a challenge to that faith. Under that banner every man and woman who hope to work out careers of usefulness and happiness in this city should enlist with whole-hearted fervor. This is the time to keep in mind the many advantages which this city has, advantages of position and geography, of climate and resources, of public enterprises and facilities. ii is time to recall once again why it is more pleasant to live in this city than elsewhere and the for that belief. It is time to look beneath the surface and to know once more that here is the city which can and does offer opportunities to the purposeful and unfettered changes realize any ambition. That combined faith, expressed in a great central organization, gives the thing'called civic spirit. Let’s have it in the full measure of an oldfashiohed revival. / m NOT THAT JOB, PLEASE <# - The news that Mrs. Nicholas Longworth is about to be -made Republican national committee woman for the State of Ohio is disturbing. Somehow wo hate to see it happen. And this is not because we don’t like Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, but because we do. Eve. since she wriggled free from the society column and popped onto the first page of the newspapers, we’ve liked her. Back in the days when she made the White House too small to hold both herself and her father —remember, it was Roosevelt who caused the executive mansion to be enlarged—she took her place in our heart. Long before the coming of Mary Pickford, before, indeed, there were any movies to speak of, she was our movie queen. v And now she's going to be a national committee woman! / , „ Recent years have revealed a different Alice Longworth to the country. The harum-scarum tomboy having become a lively debutante; the debutante a budding woman seeking a mate from among millions of eager males; the happy bride, a settled hostess and housewife in Washington, there finally emerged the present Woman of Mystery, the unseen power iu national politics. Os course, there hasn’t been too much mystery about it. She hasn’t been hiding. Two out of three tourists who visit the Capitol have the privilege of seeing her. She spends more days in the gallery of the House and Senate than most any other woman. And while her activities do not consume much on the society page, her days are known to include an extraordinary succession of lunches, teas, dinners and suppers. These are friendly and informal affairs at which the events witnessed from the galleries are discussed —or, sometimes, arranged in advance. Alice already is in politics. Some declare that nobody but of official life, and only a few in, has more political influence than she. They talk of political intrigue and wires that are pulled. But to her intimate and remote admirers she is the same frank, impulsive, warm-hearted woman who finds life interesting and helps make it interesting for others —as for instance, by presenting the shaker of the House with a bouncing baby girl when the world was least expecting it. No, we hate to see it happen. There are a lot of women who could be Republican national committee woman. But there is only one who could be Alice Longworth.

JAZZ FOR THE FARMS Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas in a recent speech, declared that the only yay to keep young men on the farms is to make farming pay. To make farming pay, youth must be trained in scientific agriculture. I There is another side of the question, to, that cannot be overlooked—the eternal isolation of the farm and the loneliness a young person must suffer there. Young women and young men leave the farms seeking the companionship the city offers. • Along this line a very interesting experiment was tried out this fall at the southeast Missouri district fair, at Sikeston, Mo. Jazz, style show and dancing supplanted the usual displays of farm products, livestock-and poultry. All the old standby exhibits were eliminated. Thg swine building was converted into a big dance floor and a snappy orchestra was hired. The erstwhile poultry building housed radio exhibits. In the former agricultural building were displayed motor cars. A good deal of the money spent in former years on prized for exhibits went to swell the purses for horses racing at the fair. Instead of the canning and the needlework there was the style show for the ladies. Perhaps this looks like heresy, considering tire staid lines along which county fairs have been inevitably cast, but just think it over. The farmer spends twelve months gs the year with his corn, his hay, his cattle and hogs. Do you think he enjoys his off day going from building to building, staring at the same pigs he has had to face all year? Perhaps a little jazz is what the farm situation really needs. • JUST AN INDICATION Just how far Senator AVatson is driven in his present campaign and how great are his fears is shown by the Efforts made in his behalf to twist and distort the statements of the head of the Farm Bureau Federation. Through his spokesmen anrf press agents, the Senator implied that this organization had indorsed him and on farm questions. Every effort was made to give the impression that the indorsement was official and complete. It should be some (yarning to the public that the head of that organization found it necessary to issue a public statement repudiating any Such claims and announcing that he had given no such indorsement.

If that statement means anything. It means that Watson was attempting to gain votes of farmers by misrepresentation and false pretenses. It means, If it be analyzed, that the Watson campaign is lagging and that its was necessary to resort to trickery of type to bolster up his cause in an endeavor to coax back into the fold the thousands have their own answers to his question, "Why Change?” The public announcement that the farm leader had made no indorsement of ,any candidate Is really an Indictment of Watson and the methods being used In his behalf. It indicts for unwarranted use of names and influence. It Indicts foi* an open attempt to mislead the voters. For a candidate who depends largely upon impressing the yoters with the thought, that he cannot . be defeated, Watson is certainly using some very heroic methods to gain votes. Only a Watson would dare, even In extremity, to court so public a repudiation. s TEACHING YOUTH TO LIVE A Cincinnati girl, 16, eloped with a 19-year-old boy the other day. The two were married, and came back to face the world together In all their jrouthful, helpless Ignorance. The girl's mother, while refusing to interfere with the match once it was accomplished, wa3 bitter against the public schools. If the schqols, she said, would devote less time to "eye and ear” stuff and more time to teaching children and young people how to live, her daughter would have realized that she wasn’t ready for marriage yet. Perhaps she's wrong in placing all the blame on the schools. It’s possible that parents, too, have a responsibility there. But her main point 1b correct. Our children aren’t being taught* how to live. To be sure, imparting that bit of information Is rather a large task. Perhaps there are very sets of us who really know how to live ourselves. But it's something that must be taught. You can always learn it by bitter experience, but that’s a hard way, and your life is apt to be just about over by the time you’ve learned. To learn how to liveh To learn, in the morning of life, hpw to tackle the world; how to bring reality to those shifting, sunlit visions that youth engenders; how to make life something rich and full and complete, Instead of letting It become a mere process of eating and sleeping and working and getting; to learn that life may be Joyous and exuberant instead of cramped and narrow—those are a few of the things for which youth is hungering. We all know that life was meant tJb be beautiful, free and brimming with zest. Yet somehow it so often fails to become any of those things. And the fault—nearly always—lies in the things that the older generation chooses to teach to the younger. We were sinned against, in our youth, and we in turn are sinning against our children. We don’t really mean to, and we try to teach them the test we can— But mostly we fall down on the Job. Maybe the remedy is simpler than it seerc3. Maybe—this is Just supposing, of course—maybe if we older ones really learned the meaning and Importance of words like freedom and tolerance and kindness and love— Our children would have a better chance to learn how to live. THE REAL QUESTION When the State administration heralds Its "cut” in taxes for the coming year, it may be well for the citizens to ask a few questions. How much less money is It proposed to raise and spend next year than has been raised and spent in the last year? Is it not true that the taxes, direct and indirect, will amount to approximately fifty millions of dollars for the year and is not this sum several times what was spent in ,any year under either Governor Marshall or Governor Ralston? Where has one dollar been saved? Is not the total tax burden the highest In the history of the State? What does economy mean, anyway? is it bunking the people witl* figures and sugar-coating the pill, or should It mean saving and better service? ' The. time to keep cool over coal situation Is past. We must warm up 1 6 it before long.

WHAT IS CHIVALRY ? By Mr. Walter Ferguson - What is -chivalry? The dictionary says it is "the usages and qualifications of chevaliers and knights.” AA’e have built up around this word a strange meaning, a meaning at which the recent Denver edict saying that men-, need not remove their hats in elevators when women are present, strikes a sad blow. In other words, reverence toward women ijy certain outward gestures of respect has been our idea of chivalry. A foolish idea. ' Chivalry itself, that quality of respect and protection to(vard women, is not dead, although more and more symbols are being abandoned forever. AVhen chivalry was rampant, the girls remained shut up in their stone castles working samplers or braiding up their locks or repeating their prayer*, waiting for the men to come home. And very often the men did not come, having been killed In some foolish knightly combat, The damsel of the chivalrous age could not get out and hunt a husband as the flapper of today Is privileged to do. And most of the mannerisms practiced by those Jcnights of old were only gestures after all, and represented nothing. If we are to believe rhyme and story, we must see that they had a fairly good time while off on their jaunts, with their lady' safely sealed up in her tower. Taking off hats in elevators is merely a gesture, and never in the world helped a girl to a square deal In life or love or politics. And how many women, think you, so behave and live that they merit this respectful custom from men? Are we the same mild-mannered lady like creatures, gentle in voice, modest in manner, kind to our inferiors, noble in character, pure in heart, as those maiden* of long ago were supposed to be? If not, then why should any man take off his hat for us? When it came to the test, we probably jvouldn’t trade off our modern square, just and decent American gentlemen for all the medieval knights who rode over the country, jousting and tilting and breaking a lance in between their other quite useless occupations. The really chivalrous gentleman of the twentieth century is he who will doff his prejudices instead of hie hat, |

Tracy ■ ■ ■■■■-■ Human Cussedness Is Worse Than Nature's Wrath,

By M. E. Tracy " This has been a year of storm and disaster. The Spring broke with floods in southern Europe. Greece and Italy have suffered frojn earthquake. There has been # a cholera epidemic In China, * and cyclones have struck Japan. An American town has been wiped out by -tidal wave. The Gulf of Mexico has given birth to more than its usual flock of hurricanes. There have been torrential rains in the midwest. Florida is the last of half a dozen places to have been swept by high wind. What is back of all the disturbance? Certainly. In these days of science, we cannot put it aside as meaningless or unexplainable. Too much has been learned for anyone to suppose that nature does not move according to law. The weather offers much room for study and achievement. Even If wo can't hope to control it, we may get to a point where we can tell what !t will do next, and that would be of great advantage. Meanwhile, there is another aspect of the situation to remember. Storms, in all taelr fury, take no such toll of life and property as hitman carelessness and cussedness. More people were murdered in the United States last month than died 'n the Florida storm and that goes for every month. More people were killed by autos, too, or committed •uiclda. + -I- + 23 Accidents a Minute According to the recent survey made by a New York hospital, accidents occur in this country at the rate of twenty-three a minute, or more than 33,000 a day. One out of every nine persons meets with some kind of an accident each year, and mostly the accidents ace avoidable. One out of every ten deaths Is caused by accident or violence. If the weather offers room for study and achievement, so do our own shortcomings. Turn where you will, and the greatest problem for man to solve is himself. Ohio has devised a most impressive method for calling attention to auto accidents. Wherever a death occurs a white cross is placed by the roadside. It would surprise you how many there are and how- they make you think. Pittsburgh paints a white cross on the pavement, and beside It, the number that lost their lives. SuCfi symbols stick In the mind. •I* + -IEducation Afloat Speed, mobility—they are what makes this age great, even tTTbugh they cause most of the trouble. You wonder why education hasn’t taken more advantage of them, why the college and university should stand still when everything else moves. . , A big liner has Just left New York for a trip around the world, with 600 students on board. They will travel and' study at the same time, learning more, and learning it better, because of what they see. Why isn’t it an excellent idea? If geography and kindred subjects can be taught In the real, why cling to the textbook? Why Isn’t the big, modern ship an excellent scat of higher education? + + -IMexican Speed v Six hombres are hanging to trees beside the Cuernavaca road, and seven more haVe been shot. You egn’t say the Calles government has been either slow or unsuccessful in punishing the bandit gang that murdered Jacob Rosenthal. The one regret is' that It did not ransom him first and do the executing afterward, but that was a blunder of Impulse rather than Intent. This Is one Instance where Mex-' ico has not only tried to do the right thing, but has done It. Bandits, even the boldest of them, Will think twice before they kidnnp another American on the Cuernavaca road. ' -|. -|- -|. Buying Freedom Germany has offered France $500,000,000 to liberate the Sarre, Eupen and other territory which she and Belgium still occupy. France needs cash to stabilize the franc, and is Inclined to accept. Ultimate success of .the venture depends on Wall Street, because Germany must borrow the money before she can turn it over, and Wall Street is the only place it can be had. The basic Idea is to borrow on securities of the German railroads $125,000,000 Immediately and the rest as needed. Brland and Stresemann hatched the scheme at Geneva, while attending the League of Nations. H is supposed that AV6.il Street has already been sounded, but with what results has not been announced. Continuance of negotiations, however, suggests that Wall Street was not entirely sold. - Meanwhile, Poincare, once more premier of France, was the man who entered the Sarre with trumpets blaring and flags flying. If he can stabilize the franc by selling out, the maneuver will not have proved so ridiculous as it once seemed. What is Clarena? A village in Switzerland, In the Cqnton of Vaud, three and one half miles southeast of Vevey, charmingly situated near the eastern extremity of Lake Geneva. The place has been Immortalized as the scene gs Rousseau’s “Novelle Helolse.” How can one stop hair from falling out?

Polly and Oz Have Big Time DisHing Up Fun On Variety Bill at the Lyric

By Walter D. Hickman In vaudeville it isn’t so much the material that counts but rather the way It is dished and served. One realizes that after seeing Polly and Oz, two eccentric entertainers who are well known in vaudeville. They have a lot of Individual material which could be done by others

The fact is they have a little eccentric novelty* revue of their own and they get speeding along so merrily that members of other acts take pleasure in helping them along with the fun. This idea is not new to vaudeville but it is the way that these artfsts servo the

WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW Rubbing Literary Elbows With New Yorkers •

By Waller D. Hickman It’s nice to take a Jaunt out of lown and It 1* Just as nice to get back. Found time while I was in New ork to rub literary elbows, so to speak, with many people. And so I found out Just what they are reading and talking about. By actual contact in making callS, I discovered these books to be in arm s length of many people, Including stars of the stage: "Nigger Heaven,’’ by Carl Aan Verhten, published by Knopf. Jack Osterman, one of the stars of A Night in Paris," a Shubert revue, had just completed this one. He intends to stArt Dreiser's "An American Tragedy.” They sure are talking about this Van Vechten. "Smoky” by Will James. Published by Scribner’s. This book is getting a great play in the windows of the book shops in New York. It is a story of a cow-pony. It looks successful. "The Splendid Rascal,” a yarn of pirate life by George Challis and "The Book That Nobody Knows.” by Barton aro demanding much attention. Especially the Barton book. Both are Indianapolis publications of the Bobbs Merrill Company. Both of these books are in real demand. T was told. New York is going in

Maurice Caracas and Edythe Barker are dangers who are assisted by the Club Seville Orchestra. This act needs remodeling. It hasn't enough speed and dash. As It now stands it is Just another act when with Its present talent It could demand much attention. You know it Is all In serving an act that counts. \ Keefer and Alberts center their act around golf. A clever Idea is worked out Jean Barnes and Harry Hills in a comedy skit, “Getting a Ticket.” They use a movie showing a man getting arrested for speeding and then the two take up the action of the movie ip person.

As In every branch of the profession it takes personality to really get the best out of a popular melody or ballad. AVhen it comes to the highly specialized "sister songs” it takes personality, and

Have my copy of this one and will tell you about it soon.' And of course Galsworthy’s "The Silver Spoon.” a Scribner publicai tion, is a best seller. And will be | for months. Have told you about jmy impression of this one. This hook is considered “very smart” by j New Yorkers. AA'lth “Beau Geste” as a movie ! selling out for every performance at theCrlterion.it is not surprising that Perclval C. Wren's latest novel, "Beau Sabreur,’’ is one of the biggest and best sellers in the East. Also found that "The Man They Hanged.” a novel based on the life of Captain Kidd by Robert AV. Chambers, published by D. Appleton and Company, has,a good chance of being popular. The title as well as the Importance of the author argues well for its future success. And pirate yarns are popular this season. I found no literary indigestion in New York. People now days are reading just about what they want. They enjoy to talk the books they have read with their friends. Found many people reading new books

John Murray, proprietor, told police five Negroes entered shortly before closing time, and, lining the patrons up against the wall, relieved them of money and valuables totaling $738.

on. It makes or breaks them. The Darlings do all their numbers together, and in this way bring out the charm of the big featurg of their act, that they are twins. Are a clever pair of girls and are equally as good in their dance as well as song numbers. Bob Capron and company have a comedy sketch "Sealing with three girls ■who have great desires to be movie queens. An insurance agent happens into the house and the name of his company is the same as that of a well-known photoplay company. The girls are unknowingly signed up for insurance policies and much comedy is worked out from this fact. "The Test" Btarts out in a mysterious and creepy way, with all the characters using only one word in their conversation —“yes.” Just when we are expecting the murder to be pulled off, the act changes to a jazz orchestra, and we are fooled again. Have several song and dance specialties besides the orchestra features. Creedon and Davis are an eccentric couple who have plenty of comedy in their act. Is a little slow at times, but there are enough humorous spots to make It entertaining. Roode and Francis, a man and woman, open the bill with an interesting exhibition of work on a slack wire. The man is skilled in this kind of work. At the Palace today and tomorrow. (By J. T.

while they lunched. Even on the busses I found several people reading "The Book ITobody Knows’’ and discussing It with a companion. The experience of reading a book becomes richer when one "talks" it with somebody. Reading should not always be merely for a pastime. Reading becomes valuable when the book becomes sort of mental electricity. Or In other words —Increased mental activity. Have thought at times that It would be a good idea to have for rent “Literary Friends,” who could discuss books with anyone who desired such an experience. There isn't a day that passes unless one or more of my friends "talk hooks” to me. Itr that way I find that I increase my enjoyment of life's adventure.

A Tragedy

A book-publishing house and not a book in it! That is the sad condition in which the Bobbs-Merrill Company found itself recently. They are moving from one building to another and already the smaller portables have gone. Including the editorial library. The other day the head proofreader wanted a copy of “Miss Tiverton Goes Out,” that anonymous novel which AAMlliam Lyon Phelps placed at the head of his best-books-for-the-year list. It was necessary that she have the book, but she couldn’t find a copy of it 4n the whole place. Asa matter of fact there wasn’t a book in the building! Somebody’s sure to say something about the cabman walking to work, or-the cobbler going barefoot, but we’ve beaten them to it. A hurried trip to Beach's Bookshop just around the corner brought forth the coveted copy of “Miss Tiverton Goes Out.”
