More Money Needed In asking an additional $5,000,000 Tor flood relief work, the National Red Cross and Secretary Hoover hope that amount will bo sufficient. They don’t know ..because the flood will last another seven days and almost anything can happen before the waters finally pour into the Gulf of Mexico. Just how much money is needed to care for the 250,000—perhaps 300,000— refugees and for the rehabilitation work that will follow, not even the most experienced expert of the Red Cross can estimate accurately. This flood has upset all their calculations. The Red Cross has had twenty disasters this year without countings the Mississippi flood. Ten of these were floods, six tornadoes and three fires. Os these the wors£ Is the present flood, from the standpoint of work. A tornado is a matter of moments. It levels a community, kills or injures a certain number and does a certain amount cf damage. The cost can bo estimated and the amount of relief money soon raised. But a flood lasts for weeks and sometimes for months. Families must be cared for over a long period, running up a heavy expense in food, clothing and housing. Usually the Red Cross officials have been able to harfffie a flood without outside assistance, except to call upon the Army for tents, medical supplies, cots, bedding and such things. But this flood of the Mississippi river has exceeded all others. Not only have most of the government departments been forced to assist, but President Coolidge has had to place Secretary Hoover in active charge of the relief work. The disaster will be prolonged. Some of the refugees probably will not get back to their homes for months. When they do they will be in just as bad a plight as nqjv. ' Crop planting time will be passed. Their livestock will be gone. Their homes will be ruined and for nearly a year they will be on the Red Cross for assistance. Try to estimate what it costs to feed and clothe some quarter of a million persons for a month, and you will have some idea what the Red Cross is facing. Then try to estimate what is going to be necessary in the way of seeds, livestock, implements and other farming equipment to rehabilitate 600,000,000 acres of farm lands. Only when the flood waters have finally receded will the full extent of their damage be known. Ten million dollars may be enough and every one hopes thatit will be. But If it Isn’t the Red Cross will be forced to increase the quota again. And the country will be ready to respond. Britain Takes a Step Backward In recent times we have grown accustomed Jo looking to Great for progressive, not to say liberal, Ideas. At a time vhen we are harking back to blue laws and a reign of intolerance, Britain has been forging ahead fairly steadily in the direction of liberalism. Yesterday, however, iA the House of Commons a struggle was begun between the conservative government of Premier Stanley Baldwin and the labor and liberal groups over a bill which, at first seems so drastic that we are inclined to rub our eyes to see if we have read it aright. It is called the unions bill and unless all signs fail it is bound to split Britain wide open before it Is through. Labor is unanimous against it; liberal opinion is almost as uniformly opposed t.o it and even some of the conservative leaders beliave it too far. The bill aims to make general strikes impossible and in doing so threatens to make any kind of strike a precarious, if not an illegal, procedure. A sympathetic strike is illegal, under the bill, when it is designed or calculated to coerce the government, or “to intimidate the community or any substantial portion of the community.’’ Picketing is illegal when it is calculated to cause "reasonable apprehension of Injury.’’ And under that Is Included “apprehension of boycott or loss of any kind or of exposure to hatred, ridicule or contempt.” The political levy, or union dues, are not to be collected unless the worker hak first agreed in writing and according to a specified form. There are other contentious clauses in the bill, but these three are the ones over which a nation-wide storm is now raging. A law of this nature would virtually kill labor unions In Britain. In most instances strikes be so circumscribed by statute that they would be doomed to failure before declared. Court, left to interpret the vague clauses, of the measure, could and, of necessity, would become a law unto themselves. Labor in the United States knows what that means. Though not half so drastic as the English bill, American law has been so construed by ouV courts as to break the backbone of many a strike. SmalL wonder, then, that President Green of the A. F. of L. with other labor leaders the world ovef, has his eyes on Britain| Labor generally in England is opposed to a general strike and, after what happened last May, few believe there exists the slightest danger of another. Even conservative industrial magnates in Britain share this view and werp Jnclined to let well enough alone. But Premier Baldwin, to the surprise of many, seems to have allowed the hotter heads to prevail upon him. ** The bill will be worth many recruits to radicalism the world over. That is perhaps the saddest part of it. British critics say it will revive class war, as, of course, it will, particularly if the government makes a fight to put it through as it stands. That is the trouble with ulta-conservatism. Those afflicted by it have nightmares over communism and what not, but, by their silly extremes, they proceed to breed the very communists they fear. Life is a pendulum; from one extreme it swings to the other. Justice is a happy medium. Set tt pendulum there and tranquillity is the result. How few seem to know this.

* Why Not Join Us, John? Once again our British cousins are after us, hammer and tongs, to drag us into a war with China regardless. The London press, taking its cue from the foreign office, continues its veiled, but nevertheless unmistakable criticism, of our own policy, plainly sore because we refuse to join the British in crushing young China. Tho Shanghai press, notably the North China Daily News, leading British daily in the far east, frankly accuses tho United States of having “deserted its allies.” Why all this pother? Britain is amply able to wipe''China off the map any time she takes the notion. She’s licked China before and she can do it again. She took Hongkong by force, made China buy opium from India whether she wanted it or not, and generally has had her way out there for the better part of a century. Why should Britain hang back now, if she has a real cause for war, simply because the United States, not having cause for war, refuses to join her? The answer is simplicity itself. Britain knows in her heart she has no just cause for war on China and that her real desire Is to crush the spirit of Chinese nationalism, stop all progress and keep the country as it has been for centuries, the easy prey of stronger powers with schemes for despoiling her. Naturally Britain hesitates to embark alone upon any such cold blooded expedition. She wants company. She does not wish to Incur the everlasting hatred of the Chinese all by herself. Particularly does she want to drag us In, because she Is aware that up to the present our friendship for China has been traditional and the Chinese know it and like us for it. British tactics just now are scarcely a compliment to our intelligence. We have acted fully up to the standards of a proud natiop, conscious of United States rights in China and of its might to protect them strictly in keeping with our perfectly good code of national honor. We need no diplomatic Emily Posts now to tell us how to behave and it Is hardly flattering, to say the least, to have the British to do so on the theory, apparently, that we’ve been grossly insulted and don’t know it. This newspaper firmly believes in BritishAmerican friendship and co-operation. If it had a hobby that would it. To hold the close tie that exists between the English-speaking world is one of the most encouraging manifestations, internationally speaking, in the world today. We will even go so far as to say we consider that friendship a precious boon to mankind—providing, however, we use it as an aid to world peace, and not as a gigantic combination' for the exploitation of weaker peoples. “Deserting our allies,’’ indeed! It is a matter of pride that we have never allied ourselves with the exploiters of China, as long as we continue in our right mind, we never will. It is a custom of foreign countries—but, thank Heaven, not in ours—for the foreign office to call in the press and_give It the tone that government wishes it to take in international matters] Here, then, is where Ambassador Houghton, our representative in London, might do us and the British a good service. Unofficially and casually he might suggest to Downing street three-things: First, that Inspired propaganda criticising America and telling her what to do and what not to do in China is getting nowhere in this country. Second, that it is not helping the causd of Anglo-American frjendship very much and, third, speaking of cooperation, what’s the matter with John Bull cooperating with Uncle Sam to uplift and encourage China rather than Uncle Sam cooperating with John Bull to sit on her and hold her down? Things like that are done. And it’s real diplomacy, too. In fact, it is of its very essence because it makes for will and better understanding. Complicated Life It is Interesting to think how so much of our modern life has become extremely complicated without particularly increasing the complications in the daily life of the average man. For example: Yale University is planning a large scaje Investigation of the relations between chemistry and medicine. Research work of the most involved nature will be necessary; amazingly intricate work will be done by some of the best minds in the country. Yet you and I and the rest of us will not need to worry about It at all. When we have bad colds, for instance, we will go to the drugstore and buy what is offered us. It will cure us quicker than tho old remedies, because of this elaborated experimentation mentioned above; but the process of getting cured will be for us as simple as It ever was. Police in an Ohio town are forbidden to wear mustaches. Have to come right out and face the yeggs. The next best thing Jo coming from good stock is owning plenty of it. What we get out of the Chinese scrap doesn’t matter so long as we get out.

Law and Justice By Dexter M. Keezei A salesman left a vacuum cleaner at a over the protest of the housewife, who said that she did not want it. He said that he would come and take It away in a few months if she had not become too much attached to it to think of parting with it. He called in five months and demanded payment for the cleaner. The housewife pay. The salesman threatened to have her arrested unless she paid. She became so frightened that she was striken with apoplexy. She claimed the stroke was the direct result of the salesman’s threats, and sued the company employing him for damages. The company contended that It should not be held for pjhysical frailties which might develop during the course of dealings between its salesmen and prospective customers. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Court of New Jersey refused to allow the woman to collect damages on the ground that the salesman. In dealing with her, had no knowledge that she was anything but normal.

t.--,. nr 1 RACY x •* Says: Youth Has Played an Important Part in Every Generation.

By M. T. Tracy On Sunday Irving Lifschltz, a boy of 15, electrified 1,000 New York Communists by denouncing the school system, the Boy Scouts and the social order of this country. On the same day Uldine Utley, the 15-year-old child evangelist, held a meeting in Carnegie Hrfll, where thirty-five were converted. On the same day, also, Lonnie Dixon, an Arkansas lad of 16, confessed to murdering a 12-year-old girl and hiding her body In the belfry of the church of which his father Is janitor. Deeds of the Young One might reason from these episodes that youth has come to play a peculiarly important part in the politics, religion and crime of this generation.- ) The truth Is that youth has played an important part In those of every generation. By a clever ruse which frightened his mature counsellors and advisers, Richard II Smashed the Wat Tyler rebellion when he was only 14. \ Joan of Arc was commissioned by the King of Franco to take command of his army when she was less than 19. Alexander Hamilton made one of the greatest speeches of his career when he was only 17. Thomas Chatterton had, written “some of the best poetry of his day and committed suicide before he was 18. - Jesse James Outdone The second of the D’Autremont brothers has been arrested, <%id the Government is continuing Its relentless hunt for the third. These three brothers ai)c charged with holding up a Southern Pacific train at Siskiyou four years ago, shooting three trainmen and burning the fourth to death when they blew up the baggage car. They had made Jesse James and Ids outlaw gang their ideal. Molded by Models Youth runs to hero worship. In a majority of cases human fate is determined not by talent, bqt by some character the boy or girl selects as a model. If the D'Autremont brothers had become as infatuated with Abraham Lincoln as they did with Jesse James It is quite possible that they might have embarked on useful and successful careers. If Uldine Utley had been reared in a communist family, it is quite possible that she might be addressing communist meetings, while Irving Lifschltz might be holding revival services had he been brought up in a orthodox home. Circumstances Rule Circumstances play a tragic part in life, and some times they are so small and inconsequential that no onv notices th’irts A great poet once said that the height of realism would be attained when somebody wrote an epic about the fall of an empire that was caused by the wind of butterflies’ wings. We take years to acquire a certain amount of. knowledge, but the spark which determines whether it shall be used for good or evil is often planted so quickly or subtlely that no one suspects Us presence.

Prosperity’s Power May day passed' quietly in the United States. The people of this country sought the /f)arks. You can attribute this to poise or patriotism, but not without giving prosperity some credit. * It was very different in England, where speakers addressed labor gatherings from two thousand platforms. There is just as much poise and patriotism in England as there is in this country, but there isn't as much prosperity. The trouble over there includes more than the Issues and doctrines that have recently made thefr appearance. It is rooted in an industrial and political system so hopelessly out of date that it fails to give average people the .opportunities which with modern life. Makeshift of Tories / The Tory government in England lias prepared a bill to outlaw general strikes and lockouts. While this bill has become a storm center of debate, and while it may lead to class conflict, it is but an Incident of the larger situation, an afterthought of the clashes that have already occurred, a makeshift measure by which it is hoped to stem tha tide of discontent. Wrong System Miss Ishbel MacDonald, daughter of the ex premier, MacDonald, speaking at Philadelphia on Sunday, said that England's educational system was largely responsible for the unrest. She said that English children were separated into two groups from the venr beginning, one representing thJ rich, aristocratic employing •class, and one the working class. She said that the children of these two groups Were trained and educated with consistent regard for the privileges and responsibilities of each. She might have gone farther and said that this educational system is but a logical outcome of the political and Industrial system, and that there is no hope of changing it or of solving the problem it Involves until England gets rid of her aristocracy, her entailed estates, her House of Lords, social distinctions the class consciousness that goes with them.

Stuart Walker Has Record Breaking Opening With ‘Road to Yesterday’ '■ "■ 1 By Walter 11. Hickman

Stars on the stage. Stars in the audience. Citizens of this city and State taking every inch of room at Keith's. Those are some of the facts regarding Stuart Walker's season at Keith’s which got sinder way last night in a record breaking fashion. As far as I personally know' about Walker's first nights in Indianapolis,

this producer and the “father” of the star system in stock ex--perienced his most successful first night in Indianapolis. On the stage in the cast of “The Road to Yesterday,” were such favorites as Judith Lowry, Larry Fletcher, Regina "Wallace, France Bendtsen, and Eugeno Towers. Among the new ones were were Ann Tonetti, who by her vivid

Gavin Gordon

work, clear pronunciation and splendid knowledge of the theater made herself a favorite here In one night's time, and Gavin Gordon, a leading man unknown here. Also present were Bertha Mann, Ethel Mulholland, Muriel Kirkland, Clark Twelvetrees, Willard Joray. Albert West and George Hubert. The-stars in the audience just looking on until next week were Elizabeth Petterson and George’' Gaul as well as others. Mr. Walker in a curtain talk referred to the stars on the stage as well as in the audience and stated that he and his company were here to please. The ovations on entrance were received by those who have been here in other seasons. Judith Lowry walked away with the biggest applause on her entrance, although Larry Fletcher came mighty near scoring as great a reception. Miss Wallace was beautifully received when she took a number of curtains at the close of the third act. Bendtsen was greeted like a favorite, and Eugene Powers by his masterful work won for himself that distinction which artistry should always receive. When one studies the cast of “The Road to Yesterday,” one is Impressed with Mr. Walker's sincerity when he states that his stock cast is peopled with stars. And before the season is over, some of his casts will remind one of “Trelawny of the Wells.” There may be some difference of opinion regarding the wisdom of opening with “The Road to Yesterday.” If this play was to be produced at all during a season of stock, then the opening week was the time. This play is what I call a “catch play,” because it is a period costume play within a modern play. The heroine dreams that she suddenly is living in the year 1603, or some kindred date. For two acts we the heroine praying for her hero td come and rescue her, just as they always do in novels and on the stage. There is some delicious modern burlesque in these scenes of yesterday. Don’t take this play too seriously,, because it is ancient fun within modern fun. I am sure, if you will look upon “The Road to Yesterday” as a delicious adventure in fun and' not as a costume play, you will have a jolly, good time. It is a heavy show, requiring lot of scenery, much lights and a mighty large cast. At least six people have good acting chances. I found nothing wrong with the cast or the casting. It is exactly what you would expect upon Broadway and on second thought in a few instances may'be Ijetter. Mr. Walker and George Somnes, director of the Indianapolis company for Walker, have given us a production which ranks right along with those expected and demanded during the legitimate season. It Is my thought that Stuart Walker and those associated with

him had their most brilliant and successful opening performance. As done by the Walker company, “The Road to Yesterday” is beautiful fun. At B'. F. Keith’s all week. "THE CRADLE SNATCHERS” IS A REAL COMEDY HIT When Charles Berkell told me that he purchased the Indianapolis stock rights to “The Cradle Snatchers,” one of the wildest examples of rapid fun which has ever adorned the j stage, I feared not only once but ' twice. My first fear was that this play would not yield to stock treatment. But I found out that I was wrong, dead wrong. They I feared that if the proper rapid comedy treatment was not given the “sassy,” smart and at times very pointed care, “Cradle Snatchers” would become the world's most terrible example of what a play should not be. Again, I found out at English’s that I was wrong to have such fear. There are two marvelous surprises this week at English’s. First, the way that Jean Oliver plays the role of Susan Martin with such dash, charm and wiseness which causes her to be the talk of the town, and second, the way that Mildred Hastings makes a funny ugly duckling (if ducklings ever approach middle age) out of the role of Ethel Drake, one of the cradle snatchers. Miss Oliver snapped Into a role with so much ease, and has never been so deliciously funny as she is In this play. This woman actually startled me nearly out of my seat Sunday night with her brilliant comedy work. And Miss .Hastings nearly drove me to tears of laughter by her wild work as a poor mamma who went wild at her own “petting” party. Bernice Marsolais has been given the role of Kitty Ladd, another one of the “snatchers” of the cradle boys. She "Was not quite at ease in the first act, but in the other two acts she gave a performance of the ability which one expects of her these days. It is a Job to cast three boys who become playmates to the three married women. Berkell brought Manard Brooks here this week to be Henry Winton. Milton Byron plays Jose Vallejo, as I would expect the ghost of Hamlet would play burlesque in a modern revue. In other words, Byron Is miscast this week. He overacts about all the time. He is supposed to be faking Spanish. Robert St. Clair is supposed to be a big Swede by the name of Oscar Nordholm. These three roles are mighty hard ones to fill for stock. They are type roles, pure, but, not simple. Others in the cast are Larry Sullivan. J. F. Marlow, Herbert Dobbins, Idabelle Arnold, Tom Pawley, Cyrilla Tulte, Dorothy Farley and Margaret Hamilton. It is the work of Miss Oliver and Miss Hastings which puts over Cradle Snatchers.” These two women are so funny and so satisfying this week that I want to find time to see “The Cradle Snatchers” again this week. “The Cradle Snatchers,” a story of how three married women hire themselves college boys to make love to ’em, Is the funniest play which has strusk this town in many a year. From a production standpoint, this show is right. Real sets. Probably the smartest and best comedy buy of the Baykell season. At English’s all week. ROY SMECK LEADS ALL AT THE LYRIC The first time that I became acquainted with Roy Smeck was on a Vitaphone presentation. He is present in person at the Lyric this week with his several string musical instruments and that funny harmonica. I do not say that vitaphone “made” Smeck, because he .Is one of those rare artists on thd banjo

and guitar who take his work seriously. At takes a real artist to get the tone and melody that Smeck gets out of his instruments. He

imitates two banjos while playing one. Fine work. He has a knockout version of “Yes, Sir, That's My Baby.” lie plays it like the melody would be played in foreign countries. While playing one instrument with his hands, this man finds time and space to play an harmonica. Smeck lias a splendid routine. He is a good showman.

Doris Roche

lie attempts no comedy. lie is there to give melody and he does just that. He is a positive hit this week at the Lyric. Reynolds and Donegan company present a skating act ballet lines. The women in the act look like classical dancers and they are classical upon the skates. .The act is filled with beauty. This act ranks very high. I do not appreciate the double meaning slang and actions of Joe Phillilpi! and company in “The Osteopath.” This sort of thing has been done in high priced revues, but I wish it would stay out of \*iudeville. Some real dancing ability is revealed in "Mignon Revue.” This act runs to melody and dance. Doris Roche works rapidly in making .costume chances for her song impressions. Pinto and Myers go in for eccentric comedy stuff. Moies complete the Dili. At the Lyric/nll week. \ JOE IS AT PALACE AXW ALL IS WELL \ Ever since seeing the movie, “It," in whicli Clara Bow demonstrated so well just what “It” was, we have been waiting for a chance to point to someone and say that he has “It.” And when we covered the Palace show for the first half, “It” was very much present in the person of Joe Termini. Joe does, not do the usual tiling, and that is the reason. To possess “It” one must do the unusual and keep on doing it. And to do the unusual, one must be letter perfect in the usual and keep away from the Uiirgs every one else does. First, Joe Termini, from the easy way lie handles melody on the different instruments lie plays, in our opinion is an artist in the classic sense of the word. Second, he appreciates the handicaps present in ! playing for the multitude of. tastes present in a vaudeville audience, and, third, lie chooses the one real way to win the hearts of any one who listens to him, he gives them comedy. Not the rough, boisterous kind wavers on point after point, but comedy taken from the tiling ail minds understand—music. And he does it in such a /'ay that not even the most ultra taste will take offense. So if you wish to see a real musician, a real comedian and a real showman, see Toe Termini at the Palace the first half of this week. Danny Murphy and company have a comedy number in which Mr. Murphy tries for laughs with a trick speech effect and manners. In the act are several girls who present dances of different types. Carr and Parr, two men, offer good dancing and good comedy work. Roth and Drake open with an aerial act in which the man does difficult things on a trapeze and mpe. Galetti and Kokin close with an unusual act in which we see a inontey who can play a melody on bells and one who can dance.’ The movie the first half is Zane

CVj£| k/J/Hihon. -CMtli L/ An Application of the Rule of Eleven in No Trumps,

The pointer for today is: With a No Trump contract and an eight led, Dummy holding ten-x-x and the closed hand King-Queen-x, Declarer may he sure that Dummy’s ten can win the first trick. When the opening lead against a No Trump is a small card, it is the leader’s fourth best; consequently he must have three higher cards in that suit. In this ease there are only three cards higher than the card led which are not in the Declarer’s two hands, so the Declarer can be positive that the ten will win the trick. This is merely another method of stating the Rule of Eleven, which is that a subtraction of the pips on the card led front eleven, shows the number of cards of the suit higher than the card led which are not in the hand of the leader. Yesterday the cards of the Dummy (Ts'orth) and Closed Hand (South) were given in the following deal:

1 asked my readers which card should be played from Dummy on trick 1. with the Eight of Clubs led, and why. The answer slip on which I hope you wrote your answer yesterday should read: On trick I, Dummy should play the Ten of Clubs because it will win the trick anil permit the Declarer to keep tlie King and Queen together, which insures another Club trick. If the card led had fijeen the Six, Declarer, subtracting six from eleven and finding the remainder to be five, would have known—as he could see in his two hands four of tho five Clubs higher than the Six —that the Third Hand must hold one card higher than tho Six: but lie wouM _not 1 have known which one of the four possible cards (Ace. Jack, Nine or Eightkit was. Even in that case, the Ten should be played from Ten-x, and from Ten-x-x; but the play from Ten-x-x would not the cinch that it would be with Lie Eight led. Now, let us suppose that West leads the Eight and Dummy wins the first trick with the Ten. What should happen next? Fill the answer slip, writing in pencil today; keep it and see my answer tomorrow.

An inquiry regarding the law governing planting of frees was received today by Mr. Fixit. The law only requires a permit to cut or trim trees outside of the property line, but allows the property owner to do as lie pleases within his own property line, according to Clarence Myers, park board secretary. Ttyc letter: Dear Mr. Fixit: Is there any law governing the distance from the property line a man must stay when he plants a tree in his back yard, fruit or shade. I mean his neighbors’ property line. K. V. S. Park authorities say no. Dear Mr. Fixit: We have lived at 124 E. Southern Ave. for six weeks and have had no garbage collection.
