MAKING THE'SCANDAL NATIONAL Little men sometimes start big things. Senator Keyes o£ New Hampshire, chairman of the Audits and Control Committee of the Senate, a little man at the head of what is usually regarded as a little committee —you probably never heard of either the Senator or his committee—seems destined to find himself in the class of those precipitate big events. The full effect of the revelations concerning Pennsylvania’s three-million-doilar primary has not yet been felt. The country suffered something of a shock when the story was told and has been sympathetic with the Senate’s purpose to bar the doors of the primary's beneficiary, William S. Vare. The country was a bit flabbergasted when Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania, succeeded in filibustering to death a resolution that would have authorized Senator Jim Reed’s committee to complete its investigation of the Pennsylvania election. It was relieved when, dspite the failure of this resolution, Senator Jim Reed announced that his committee, under the law, could proceed with the job of counting the Pennsylvania ballots. Now Senator Keyes steps into the picture. Ho notifies the Senate sergeant-at-arms that he will not provide the necessary o. k. for the expenses incident to this count, notwithstanding the money is available. This may prove to be one incident necessary to make the country understand that powerful forces, perhaps the controlling forces, in the Republican pArty, have determined that the whole truth concerning Pennsylvania shall not be discovered. The picture heretofore has been that of the Mellon group in Pennsylvania spending unheard of sums to nominate George W. Pepper, only to be defeated by Yare's expenditure of equally unheard of sums. It has seemed only a family fight within the Republican party in one State, disgraceful enough, but only that. Now it appears to have become a national affair. William B. Wilson, courageous, clean, competent, undertook to coiitest against William S. Vare in the senatorial election. The count revealed, that in the State, outside Philadelphia, he had a majority of 5ff,000 over Vare. He challenged Vare’s majority of 250,000 inside the city and investigation thus far made has proved Vare's figures filled with fraud. He challenged the return from Pittsburgh and fraud already has been proved there. He now challenges the returns from Lackawanna, Delaware, Luzerne and Schuylkill counties, all of which have a large population. There is where Keyes stepped in. He tells the sergeant-at-arms he can not bring in the ballots from these four counties to be checked. Keyes’ action may delay the desired recount until next December; it probably can do no more than that. But he has succeeded, unwittingly, perhaps, in identifying the national Republican organization with the desperate effort to cover up the rottenness in Pennsylvanfa. This will be made clearer and clearer before the next national election. Keyes has added one more bundle of straw to the load that is likely to break the elephant’s hack. A STATUE FOR A HEROINE A group of highly interesting bits of sculpture has been on display in New York recently. It is made up of pieces offered in competition for a prize for the best portrayal of “The Pioneer Woman.” Amqng the lig ires submitted, as might be expected, are many diverse conceptions. One artist shows the pioneer woman as a lithe, sinewy girl in flowing draperies; another as a bent, haggard old woman, worn out by toil; another as a buxom, motherly sort of goddess, serene and untroubled. We don’t know which piece the judges will select. Probably, no matter which statue is selected, a lot of people will criticise it. Yet it is a good thing that the competition is being held; it serves to remind us of the debt that we owe to the pioneer women of America. Jhe fyoneer woman has been neglected in our histories. Hers is the epic that has been but poorly written, the tragedy that too often goes unsung. We have waxed eloquent about the bearded, twofisted metKWho crossed the great plains in the gold rush of ’49; about the brawny old adventurers who blazed the trail to Oregon and the northwest; about the gaunt woodsmen who opened up Kentucky and the rich Middle West in the days when Washington still lived. All of these men have been given their due. But when have we paused to consider that the American frontier was never a womanless frontier? The men whose axes cleared away the forests of Indiana and Ohio were doughty heroes, surely. But they had wives; arid these wives lived in bare cabins, bore and reared big families, cultivated gardens, made clothes and endured hunger, pain and danger without limit. The l:ng. trek acr..as tie. plains was heroic and magnificent, of course; but there were women in those covered wagons, as well as men, sharing the difficulties in even greater measure. The pioneer woman had all the worst of it, as a matter of fact. The thrills and savage joys of the adventure were not for her; plain drudgery, dreariness and a closely limited horizon were her lot. She gave birth to her children in a rude hut, usually without any medical attention; she got up and resumed her heavy daily duties a few days later, uncomplaining and persevering. She is not the romantic, heroic figure the male pioneer is. There is little of romance about a woman grown old and haggard at 35, with a bent back and stringy gray hair and a deep-lined, hopeless face. Yet she deserves the high tribute of a Nation, none the less. She, as much as the tall rifleman in buckskin leggings and broad-brimmed lift, gave us our West. If a prize statue will help remind 1 us of that fut it will be well. HOW TO GET A JURY The bothersome thing about women is that they have logical minds. Ruth Finney and Flora Orr, members of the Washington staff of this newspaper, watched the se-

lection of a jury to hear the contempt case against Harry F. Sinclair, the big oil and boodle man. The proceeding outraged theii; common sense. “Elimination from a jury of every man who ha3 ever read any news concerning the oil scandal, news which has occupied newspaper space fpr four years now,” Miss Finney writes, “leaves vitally important decisions to the judgment of men obviously unfit. Certainly no prejudiced or strongly opinioned man should sit as juror. But it is just as certain that no man not intelligent enough or interested enough to know wliat such cases are about should do so either.” Miss Orr was led, by ts hat slie witnessed, to offer a suggestion. “We need anew monastical order,” she writes us. “In some secluded mountain retreat, far from all contact with human affairs, men would be taken into this brotherhood, after passing a sever© intelligence test. They would study Shakespeare, perhaps, and classical literature, ethics, jurisprudence, and the Bible. “But they would take a vow never, never, never to read a newspaper. “They would come forth from their training to serve the world as professional jurors. “They would be, in all the world, the only literate, thinking human beings, free from the taint of newspaper reading. There are no such persons now.” ABOUT POLICEMEN It was just a little one-paragraph story in the paper the other day. you missed it entirely. It told about a policeman in an Eastern city who roused the inmates of a burning tenement, called the fire department and then ftcriflcsd his own life in trying to rescue a cripple who could not save Himself. Little items like that aren’t unusual. Such things happen in every city. We all have our grievances at policemen, now and then. But it doesn’t hurt to remember that the policeman must' always be ready to risk his life in our service. Every now and then he takes one risk too many—and loses. % Keep that in mind the next time you start expressing yourself about the bluecoats. A DRAMATIC CAREER W. E. Woodward, one of the biographers who wrote anew life of Washington during the past yeai\ is going to tackle U. S. Grant next. “Grant,” says Woodward, “was one of the most ✓ dramatic of our heroes. At the age of 38 he was an obscure and beaten man, sitting silently in a country store. His opportunities were all apparently behind him. “Who would have dreamed, at the beginning of the Civil War, that this seedy, discouraged failure was to become leader of the Union armies and President foi two terms?” s We don’t know whether Woodward is going to make Grant's biography “human” in the •'ray he tried to make that of Washington. But we agree with him that he has an unusually interesting subject.

FLAMING YOUTH IN AFRICA Did you think that "flaming youth” is a product of modern America solely? Then think again. Youth also flames in darkest Africa. The Presbyterian board of foreign ipissions'reports that evangelistic work in the older’ fields of the West Africa mission is becoming increasingly difficult. In the old days the boys and girls stayed at home and obeyed the tribal laws.' Now, however, they go chasing off to 6ther tribes while still in their ’teens, and the dusky elders do not know how to handle them. Apparently this "revolt of youth” is going on in the jungle as well as In the United States. ENGLAND NEEDN’T SNEER The barbers, it is announced, will seek hereafter to be known as “chirotonsors,” Instead of as barbers. The new name lends class, it seems, and elevates the profession no end. We’re willing, if the rest are. And somehow we don’t quite care for tho supercilious sneers that certain English writers have made at the American habit of adopting high-sounding titles for very commonplace trades. For at least we in America don’t confer knighthood on soap manufacturers and tea merchants and stock brokers. And that, dear reader, is an old established custom in dignified England. WHERE THE BABIES COME FROM \ 1 •—By Gilson Gardner 1 If cities depended on city-born babies to perpetuate their populations, they would every year show a decline. • If industrial centers, trading and manufacturing, were not replenished by rural-born babies, they would show every year a decreasing population. Not efven the increases of immigration would prevent this decline. Cities and manufacturing centers d6 not breed enough humans to perpetuate themselves. This is true today and has been so for the past hundred years of United States history. 1 * ’in spite of less sanitary conditions In rural and small town regions, and the consequent increase in death rates there, the rural population shows a birth rate (the proportion of children between 1 and 5 yehrs of age to women between .16 and. 45). nearly a third greater than the population of the cities. In other words, whatever the causes may be. the cities and industrial centers are the consumers of population and enemies to children. Cities and industrial centers grow by drawing on the humans who are bred and raised on the farms and in the country villages. These are a few of .the startling facts discovered by P. K. Whelpton and set out in a learned report just made to the E- W. Scripps Foundation for Research in Population Problems, with headquarters ut Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. Incidentally. Mr. Whelpton reports that .In 1820, #°ut pf every iOO of the country’s population twentyone were engaged in manufacturing. In 1920, sixtyfive in each 100 were so engaged. In ISO 9 for every Sioo worth of agricultural products raised, there were 810 worth of manufactures, while in 1919, for every SJOO worth of agricultural products raised, ?12t worth of manufactures were produced. In. 1790 only 3.3 per cent of the people dwelt in cities or towns of more than 8,000 inhabitants. Now more than half are city dwellers. ,

Tracy Struggle to Save Frick Illustrative o£ Human Kindness,

By .>l. E. Tracy The case of Alfred Frick is anomalous from more than one standpoint. If the doctors have found anew malady, the rest of us liavo found anew example of human kindness. Creeping paralysis becomes almost a thing of beauty beneath the pressure of these sixty faithful hands. . Science was powerless without the aid of friendship. It is reassuring to know that friendship* met the test. Behind the rhythmic movement of each hapd on Frick's helpless . chest 'there Was a thought. Can there bo doubt that thought played Its part? . A struggle with death, such as has been passing, calls upon the mind os well as the body. The will to live is often a determining factor. ■y . - * Mentality Molds Mental attitudes go far in shaping human destiny, whether from a mass or Individual standpoint. Fanatics often succeed where more intellectual but 'less persistent men fail. This has always been understood in a vague sort of way, but until recent times little effort bad been made to study or understand It. Quacks founded phychology just aa they founded chemistryIt is a curious fact that most of our science originated in playing with mysterious forces to scare and bewilder Ignorant people. Superstitions Many of the superstitions which originated during the quack age of science still remain. Quite a few people still look on hypnotism as Evidencing one man’s power over another, still believe that exposure to it weakens the will, and that it can be employed to make a good man commit murder. If hypnotism can be practiced over the radio we shill have proved that personal contact is not a necessary factor. That makes the experiment which was tried out in Massachusetts last Wednesday night more than worth while.

Emotions Rule It is unfortunate that some of our deeper mental attitudes are founded on more emotions. That, more than anything else makes for irritational thinking. Millions of people hate a thing for no better reason Jhan they fear it, while other millions glorify it for no better reason than that it conforms to their pet traditions. Germany made war because she was scared and suspicious. The United SUtes Is revolutionizing its foreign po icy for precisely the same reason. Russian bolshevism has become a bugaboo with us, just as British imperialism became a bugaboo with Germany. Consistent? Secretary Kellogg trembles at the thought of Russia exporting revolutionary literature, but views with, equanimity the idea of this country exporting arms to Mexican malcontents. Which would cause a neighboring nation more harm, pamphlets or rifles? I just can’t reconcile the idea of refusing to let a Russian woman pass through this country, because of the damage her conversation might do, with that of selling bombs and artillery to the Mexican revolutionists for the profit that there is in it. Lose by Blunders Our domestic policy has been shaped on a similar illogical pursuit of emotion. First, we worked up a belief that whisky was the root of all evil; then we prohibited it. Other nations are capitalizing our blunders. , German, French and English are gaining prestige in Latin America because of the unreasonable course we have pursued, while Russia is winning the prestige we formerly helcf In South China. To cap the climax, Ontario Is about to enact a law whereby thirsty Americans can satisfy themselves and pay a large proportion of “her running expenses. The United States of America is coming to cut a rather ridiculous figure in the family of nacldns. it is mainly due to her infatuation for ism’s. r - ■ ’ , Since 1914 this country has been guided by nothing so distinctly as a, sequence of scares, fads and. fetishes. We started out thanking God that we were not in the war, then we decided to save 1 the world for democracy, thSn were pudiated the League of/Nations, and now we are lined up with the reactiorfaries on about every issue in sight. When did Walace Reid die? Jan. 18, 1923. How many foreign bom children of American veterans of the World War have been’ admitted to the United States? Since July 1, 1926, 361 foreign born children of World War veterans have been admitted. Prior to that date they were treated as aliens and were not counted separately. Is there a national law affecting the acquisition of land in the United States by Japanese? There is no Federal law. In Arizona. California, Delaware. Idaho, Louisiana, Oregon and Washington they are prohibited by State laws to own or acquire land.' In some States they can acquire lands the same as native Americans and in others they can acquire land only on certain conditions and with some restrictions. It is entirely a matter of State law.

Oh, Dear! What an Intimate Knockout Harry Richman Is While Singing Hits

By Walter D. Hickman Now very confidentially, I ask you in all sincerity, “Ain’t She Sweet?” You will believe that this cutie is mighty sweet when you hear Harry Richman, comedian, sing this intimate comedy number on anew Brunswick record. This comedy number. “Ain’t She Sweet,” gives Richman a grand chance to become chummy. To a crooning melody that makes you want to whist!-, Richman tells you “very confidentially” to look down the street and see the mass of feminine loveliness, that gal of his. She' must have Harry wild and he admits, because she is the girl that keeps him awake at nights thinking about her. Os course that is very confidential. This number, as put over by Richman, has a red ,hot ending when he sighs. “Oh, Dear.” Here is a knockout comedy number. On the other side you will hear Richman singing *“Muddy Water.” This number seems, from an arrangement standpoint, to be a hit, but Ido not care for the lyrics. The melody has a Southern swing to it which is pleasing. While speaking of “Muddy Water,” the best orchestral version I have reviewed so far is done on a Brunswick by Bon Bcrnie and his Hotel Roosevelt orchestra. Here is good syncopation. On the other side. “Hello, Swanee, Hello.” Also popular. DANCE HITS I have just been playing a number of records that Okeh sent me for review. This firm is putting out some mighty tantalizing dance records recently. The Araby Garden Orchestra makes quite a pretty and catchy thing out of “Half A Moon Is Better Than No Moon 1 .” Hero is a good number. Those who hav e requested a pleasing version of ".lust A Bird's Eye View of My Old Kefftueky Home,” will do well to hear this orchestra play it on an Okeh. In answer to a question concerning one of the hits from Fred Stone’s new show, “Criss-Cross.” I now have “You Will, Won’t You?” from this

show on an Okeh, played by Mike Markel’s orchestra with a vocal chorus by Lem Cleg. Good. On other side, “Never Without Y’ou.” Sam Lamin has made a peach of a record out of Irving Berlin's new song, “Blue Skies.” The lyrics of this number breathe joy and hope, probably the reason for it being an instant hit on publication. Lamin has a corking good orchestra and his arrangement of “Blue Skies” in certain parts gives it an oriental flavor. On the other side, “Yankee Rose,” quite military in movement as it opens with drums. SOME BURLESQUE Dale Wimbrow and his Rubeville Tuners have issued on Columbia two hurlesque numbers, “It Takes A Good Woman To Keep A Good Man At Home.” and “Country Bred and Country Fed.” The two titles indicate clearly the standard of the lyrics.

LOOKING OVER NEW EVENTS AT THE PALACE For the first time in months we had the pleasure of listening to an act containing an orchestra, which did not bore us to tears. Meaning the act of Joe Bennett and Rose Wynn, at the Palace the last half, Bennett opens the act with an eccentric line of vocal clowning and attempts to put on a drama. With the help of Miss Wynn they succeed In getting started on nothing at all, which is funny although it may not sound so. The orchestra is Introduced after this, and their offering consists of several numbers, well done, of present popular selections. Miss Wynn leads off with a solo dance in which she displays much that is pleasing to look at. featuring splits and back-bends. Bennett offers an amusing dance, and the two of them pair up for a dance finale

that is as clever as it is good looking. They do a tap dance in costumes. Mcßae and Mott capitalize a peculiar twist the man gives to his speech and have worked out a good line of comedy. Spencer and Williams seemingly decide that the audience must laugh, and these two make them do so. They have a good fund of wise cracks and they use them plentifully. Murry and Wright, an act with two women and three men, have a short comeay sketch concerning a' young girl who has come back to the village after being in New York. The comedy is the best part of this act. and given the aid of a charming looking girl, the act goes over all right. Booth and Nina open with the girl playing several numbers on a banjo and the man featuring a trick I wherein he climbs a flight of steps i on a bicycle and then Jumps off. ' Some comedy is present. “The Truthful Sex” is the photo- J play feature this week. Included is a news reel and comedy. At the Palace today and tomorrow, i (By the Observer.) Indianapolis theaters today offer: i Thurston, magician, at English’s: Terry and Her Baby Grands at i Keith's: Janet Childs at the Lyric;' Vitaphone at the Circle: vaudeville at the Palace; "Patricia” at the Murat; “Tell It to the Marines” at the Apollo; “Heaven on Earth” at the Ohio; 1 Set Free” at the Isis; "Pals In Paradise” at the Uptown; “Sin Cargo" at the Rltz, and burlesque at the Mutual.

Work Double by Partner After Business Pass Is Business,

By Milton (’. Work Tlie Pointer for Today Is: A business puss shows great strength, and a subsequent ilouhl • made by the partner is a business double/* In these days the number of Bu *• ness Passes mode by the partners of lnformatory doublers of one No Trump, is steadily on the incrciise. More and more is it appreciated th.i. heavy penalties nro obtainable |.; passing rt double of one No Trump with strength, when facing a do pendablo doubler. The L’.ucdne.'s I Pnss transforms an Informntoi > double into a business double. Hm-li a pass (of a double of one No Trump, should never be made without at least three, and better still four, high cards divided between two suliat least. When the Business Pass Is made -and the No Trumper, sandwiched between two strong adversaries nnd with a partner who ran be of little or no assistance, attempts to rescue himself from his awkward situation by bidding $ suit, a repented double by the originnl doubler is business, in spite of the fact that his partner line not bid or doubled. The Bus, ness Pass is par excellence a strength-shower end any double is business when made by the partner of a player who has made a Bust ness Pass. For example: South one No Trump. West double. North pass. East pass (the Business Pass). South two Diamonds, West double. The first double by West was tnfornmtory, but the second was distinctly business and Indicated that West was prepared to set South's Diamonds severely. South probably has jumped from the frying pan Into the fire, and for East to treat West's second double as lnformatory and take It out would be most unfortunate—for East and West, but sweetly welcome to North and South. T once saw a case in which a Dealer (South), with: Sp: A-x-x Ht: A-x-x Dt: A-J* x-x C’l: x x bid one No Trump. After West’s lnformatory double hnd been business-passed (if I may coin a new r term) by East, South tried to esespo via *he two-Diamond route. West doubled n. second lime and the result was 480 for the douhle, which East properly read as business. (Copyright John F. Dille Oo> •ffcUmrfeElp of iff Daily lynien Prepared by Rev.
