Just Another Reason Any one who is as yet undecided on the advisability of adopting the city manager plan of government should attend the public meeting of the council on June 15 and see how government works at present. The council will, as a concession, permit citizens to discuss the question of whether the busses which carry many thousands of people each day shall be permitted to stop on the Circle. It was a councilman who advanced the idea that these busses should be driven from the Circle. So far as is known no man or woman who rides the busses objected to this as a terminal. Nor has any merchant whose place of business fronts on the Circle come forward to protest. But for some unknown reason, the councilman, with the support of others in that body, decided that the busses should be banished. When they had this happy thought, they stopped thinking and suggested no other terminal for these carriers. Just where the councilmen believed the busses should end their trips to the center of the city is another secret. This is just another of those incidents in city affairs which disgust the citizen. Apparently it means nothing to discommode several thousands of riders of the busses. If there is any real reason for this change, any protest on the part of the public, any argument for a better terminal elsewhere, the councilmen have failed to disclose them. The only interesting fact that has been made public in regard to the busses is that they are very profitable and well patronized, so profitable that the street railway company offered to pay a much larger sum for them than the public service commission is willing to permit it to pay. Traffic problems should be settled on a basis of common sense and business judgment. They will be when the people put into force the city manager plan and elect commissioners on the basis of character instead of picking councilmen for partisan purposes. It is time to stop annoying business, quit harassing the public and end petty attacks on legitimate enterprises. \ The city manager system ought to do it. At least it could not be more asinine than the present system as it is at present administered. One Moral—And Another Contrasting the differing destinies of the Lindberghs, father and son, Henry Ford's weekly, the Dearborn Independent, draws a moral. It is that the promising field of the future is not politics, but where men of action “do things, in earth or sea or air." ‘The Lindbergh family history to date seems almost to substantiate that view. The father chose politics as the field of his principal life endeavor. He died discredited and little sung because he fought so relentlessly for the type of progressive and liberal government which lie believed just. The son took to the mechanics of conquering the air and in his chosen field displayed the same type of courage that was his father's. Governments and peoples vie with each other to do him highest honor. The moral seems clear. Keep out of politics. There are no rewards for valor there. Consider the moral for a moment and then turn back the wheels of time just ten years. Stand on the western European battle front in the evening, and watch American boys sail their planes into the deepening dusk. Soon you see puffs of black smoke about them as the anti-aircraft guns try to bring them crashing to earth. And then there is a rattle of machine guns. They have encountered German planes, also in search of winged prey. And you see one plane or two, perhaps more, burst into flames, their pilots trapped inside. With that picture in mind remember that in those ghastly falling torches are American boys—or German boys—who cherished the same high ideals of courage now so conspicuously displayed by Charles Lindbergh. For Lindbergh the reward of courage is well won world honor. For them it was death by fire, a death . which came so often that a distraught country had no 'chance to pay individual homage. •Why did those boys die. There was generally no mechanical fault. Men had perfected machines, terrific death dealing machines, and men of action had set them moving. Those boys died, because there had been a colossal failure in the field of politics. Reason had been overcome. Brute machine force had been substituted. Charles Lindbergh’s father would gladly have died to prevent the sacrificing of millions of human lives in what he regarded as a “senseless war." He failed and died a sad and disillusioned man. Others after him may fail and see more American boys of the Lindbergh stamp wing their way to a .burning death. Particularly will this happen if men accept the idea that there is nothing to be gained in politics. In crises it is politics that control our lives. Who, mindful of what was happening ten years ago, can say that politics does not offer a supreme challenge to courage, a glorious opportunity.

The City Manager Plan — It’s Origin, Growth and Success

Staunton, Va., in 1908 originated the city manager idea. The ’’Lockport Proposal" to the New York\ Legislature in 1911 followed the Staunton plan with modifications. During the last fifteen years, 291 American cities and towns have changed their municipal charters and adopted the city manager form of government. In addition, seventythree places have had the plan by ordinance. The largest is Cleveland, Ohio, with a population of nearly 900,000. The next largest are Cincinnati, Kansas City, Dayton, Grand Rapids, Norfolk, Knoxville. The smallest is McCracken, Kansas, with a population of 371. J. The plan spreads fastest in regions which know most about it. year example, it was adopted in Day-

Moscow Might Remember Waterloo Russia has come to the crossroads. Occupying a sixth of the earth’s area, with a population of 145,000,000, she has to run counter to the British empire with a quarter of the area and of the globe. One or the other must clap on the brakes or there will be a collision. Which means that Russia must do the braking. In all candor that is what Russia out to do, for her own sake as well as for the sake of the peace of Europe and the world. Russia has a right to have any kind of government she pleases. It makes little difference whether we like it or not. It is none of our business. But it is a poor rule that only works one way. If Russia is entitled to the kind of government she likes, Britain and the rest of the world are entitled to the kinds of governments they like. There can be little doubt that Russia has mixed in the affairs of the other nations far more than she should. She may not be doing such things officially, and it may be as she claims, that she has given up all idea of the world revolution as preached by the Bolshevists at the time the present regime came to power. But she has been doing so much talking already that she has half of the nations on earth scared stiff. It is nobody's fault but hers if these nations see a raw-head-and-bloody-bones lurking in every shadow. She started off by threatening to kindle a revolution in'every so-called capitalistic country in the world and some, Britain included, took, her at her word. Rightly or wrongly Britain regards Russia as a menace to her empire and - all history goes to show that when Britain thinks her empire is in peril she never stops until that peril is removed. Exactly 112 years ago this week Napoleon Bonaparte -found this out to his cost. Britain regarded him as a menace and though it took ten years and a European coalition to do it, she finally brought him to Waterloo. We confess we have no idea how she can go about doing it, but our advice to Russet is, if she docs not want to be taken for the specter Britain and certain other nations seem to take her for, she must come out from under her sheet. Buck Privates In Education West Point Military Academy's announcement that two soldiers from the ranks of the regular army had walked off with scholastic honors this year but parallels the experiences of many colleges and universities; the students from the ranks are most often found to have passed through the barrages of examinations with best records. At Harvard, Yale, and Princton, men from the public schools always show up better in their studies than men from the private schools. In spite of tutoring and exceptional opportunity, the man with the pampered education cannot, or at least does not, hold his own with the man from the more unpromising source who has had to dig for his knowledge. Why the buck privates always seem to do best is something to make the educational theorists ponder long and deeply. Time Turns Backward Critics of the sex that once petticoats have been worried about the young women Peeking careers, fearing that if the dear girls ever got a liking for careers they would abandon matrimony altogether. It was good tidings, therefore, when a senior in Swarthmore College wrote the other day that, given a choice between matrimony and a career, most of the girls would choose matrimony. A case to prove this assertion is presented by one Katherine Toy, a New York girl who won a traveling scholarship worth $1,500 a year. That prize would have enabled the young lady to see most of Europe. Did she accept it? She did not. The thing she chose instead was a husband and a career in a home. Just how the alarmists will explain this choice remains to be seen. Quakers, at a recent convention, decided to “pep" j up their meetings. It does seem as if they have been | rather quiet of late. Law and Justice by Dexter M. Keezer ' In selling a piece of land, a man asserted that it was free from a wild grass particularly damaging to crops. Later such grass was found on the land and the buyer sought to recover a part of the purchase price on this account. It was established that the seller had not known there was such grass. He claimed, on that account, that he should net be required to refund part of the purchase price. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Mississippi decided that the purchaser was entitled to an adjustment of the purchase price. It said that! the seller’s ignorance of the presence of the grass 'did not relieve him of the necessity of making an adjustment when such grass was found on the land.

adopted it. Likewise in Texas (twenty-three cities), California (eighteen cities), and in Virginia, where it now governs one-fifth of the population of the State including every city over 25,000 population except Richmond. 2. Numerous investigations not always friendly at the Start, have been made, and the reports have been invariably favorable. 3. Four out of every five new charters now follow the city manager plan. 4. The “Model Charter,” drafted for the National Municipal League by an eminent and well-informed committee including A. Lawrence Lowell, President of Harvard, is a city, manager charter.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRACY SAYS: The Public Mood Leaves Little Room to Discuss Anything Other Than' Lindbergh and His Exploits.

Considering all that has been said and written on the subject, it seems j hopeless- to suppose that anything new can be offered with regard to Lindbergh, his feat, or his reception. The public mood, however, leaves little room to discuss anything else. This young man has ' not only crowded all other news off the first page, but off the next three or four as well. To let the headline writers tell it, the Nation has “gone mad" over him. A sane review suggests that the American people realize perfectly what they are doing and glory in it New Kind of Hero Lindbergh is anew kind of hero, and it is quite proper that he should enjoy anew kind of triumph. It is consistent with American ideals, with the tendencies of modern education, and with principles i which science has unfolded that this country should pay tribute to a private citizen who triumphed in the , interest of human progress. The homecoming of Lindbergh I proves nothing more vividly than i that “peace has her victories no less i than war." | It is high time that the world, especially America, renewed its j acquaintance with that thought. His great adventure was made | possible by peace and culminated in a peaceful triumph, as is proved by I the message he brings back from j the people of Europe. ; More Than Feat There is more back of Lindbergh's reception than the feat ha performed. He did not captivate the civilized world by merely fling from New York to Paris. Astonishing as is tins achievement it fails to account for the unprecedented honors that have been conj ferred upon him. Tenth of Distinction I Not the Wrights, who first taught us to fly, nor Alcock and Brown, who first crossed the ocean, nor the Army aviators who circled the world, nor Byrd, who flew over the North Pole, enjoyed a tenth part of the praise and distinction that have ; come to Lindbergh. Each and every one of them took i his life in his hands, however, endured great hardships and established anew record. i More Than Flier Lindbergh appeals to the American people more than a man as a flier. He is the kind of a son all mothers want; the kind of a hero all boys dream of becoming; the ; kind of a citizen all republics hope 1 I to rear. The way he flew proves his skill, i but the way he conducts himself I in the face of such adulation proves I his character. ! America has the right to be proud 1 i of a flier who conquers the Atlantic ! alone, but she has a better right to i be proud of a man, who can keep j his hcad under such pressure : Let Us Not Forget While we are honoring Lindbergh ■ let us not forget that emulation is : the greatest compliment that can be paid. If we like his modesty let us be i modest and teach our children to be ! modest. If we like his independence, let us not only show a little of it ourselves, but more respect for in-i dependent men. I His Father Independent | Lindbergh’s father was an In- , ; dependent man, one of the clcarI headed few. who refused tc be blind to profiteering in the name of patriotism, but unhappily his independence drew resentment rather than applause. Many of those who are yelling themselves hoarse of the son could j find nothing but coarse epithets for J the sire, but the same virtue is to be noted in both. As part of the great celebration now going on, it is not proper to ask ourselves whether the son would have had the courage to tackle the New York-Paris flight singlehanded, if the father had lacked courage to face the majority alone. Quick to Applaud We are quick to applaud those' j whose bravery accomplishes things !we want accomplished and whose 1 independence takes the direction of j our wishes, but these virtues cannot. jbe confined within suph narrow j limits. ! If we really admire and believe in them, we must take the bitter i j with the sweet. It would soon kill' our courage in America if we only glorified such exhibitions of it as! conformed to our prejudices, and itj j would soon destroy independence if we only permitted those to speak who voiced our own peculiar senti- i ments. Temptations Met Lindbergh’s triumph especially in the way he has met the temptations of hero worship comes to us as a I ringing challenge to respect the in- j dividual who dares to be himself. If we fail to write that down as part of the celebration, we have the most valuable and most sadly needed lesson it contains.

Pretty Tillie Wore Four of 'Em, Two to Hold Up Her Stockings and Two More to Hold Up All the Traffic

BY \v ALTER D. HICKMAN Four garters, two of which exposed near her shoe tops to public gaze, adorned the limbs of Tillie, the Toiler. You probably have guessed it but I am trying to tell you about a fun-

ny movie comedy called. “Tillie The Toiler,” which was made from a comic cartoon into a movie. Tillie in the film edition is played by Marion Davies in a breezy and cute way. If Miss Davies acts this way in comedies then for goodness sak e s keep her in such vehicles. To me, in this movie, she was a big surprise. As the wise little flapper who took

|on all the innocence in the world just for business reasons, Miss Da- [ vies is a comedy delight After you see this comedy, I rather think you j will have this thought—" Thank i goodness the movie screen does not always reflect trouble." We arc needing more of these "Tillie" movies because the world is needing smiles in the amusement business these days. Rather think that Miss Davies was more than the right choice to bring Tillie to life on the screen. She flaps here and she flaps there, playing each scene with the correct comedy touch. Os course, this movie is blessed with some wise cracking subtitles,, but Miss Davies would get over the meaning even without them. And that is the test of comedy acting on the screen. She is surrounded with a good cast, including Matt Moore, Bert Roach, Claire McDowell. George Wawcett, George K. Arthur and others. The home life scenes of Tillie's parents ring as true as those which "Kcmpy" boasted upon the stage. The director of “Tillie the Toiler" did an excellent job in these home scenes. About as good as I have seen on the screen for many months. The director deserves credit for this. Not gding to tell you too much about this one, because I want you to laugh and have a great time seeing "Tillie" flapping here and flapping there. Mighty good fun is to be found in this comedy. Don’t miss it. The bill includes “Snookums Asleep," funny at times only; a Fox News Weekly showing Colonel Lindbergh at the London derby and music by the Apollo Merrymakers under the direction of Dick Kent. At the Apollo all week. ISHAM JONES IS BIG HIT ON THE CIRCLE BILL The fact is this—lsham Jones and his Brunswick recording orchestra received Sunday one of the biggest ovations, with the possible exception of that received some months ago by Paul Whiteman, that has ever been given an orchestra at the Circle. I have told you many times about Isham Jones and his work on the

records, but yesterday was the first time that I have ever heard Jones and his orchestra in person. Jones, who is a composer as well as a good pianist, has an orchestra which is fortified against failure by having many individual artists in his organization. When an orchestra ' is made up of good individual players, you can be sure that the orchestra

'.&&£/• <<fr ’

Billie Dove

will be a well balanced crowd of players. This is true with the Jones orchestra. It was during a "specialty" number in which the individual members had a chance to strut their musical talents, that the audience became demonstrative to that point which proved that the

orchestra had more than made good. Jones in a medley plays some ; of his own hits, such as “Spain,” “It Had to Be You.” "The One I Love," and others. There is no wild noise in this orchestra. They are melody and they give just that. The numi ber about “The Cat," is a snappy comedy affair. Am sure that Jones and his men will be the talk of the town this week. The movie feature is “The Tender Hour." I did not find it as tenj der as the title. Billie Dove as Marcia Kane is •sold" by a money-mad father to a Russian duke. Marcia \ really loves Wally Mackenzie, played by Ben Lyon. And you will probably ask the same question as I did, | “Why not?" The duke treated Marcia some- ' thing awful and Marcia was none , too tender to the duke. I guess the only tender moments in the whole movie was when Marcia was stagI ing a love scene with Wally. Nearly forgot to tell you. but the duke is played by Montague Love, i "The Tender Hour", is European melodrama all dressed up in fine j clothes and some which are not so fine. The comedy is furnished by i Buddy Past, T. Roy Barnes and i George Kosor.aros. The Circle has what we call si I "scoop" In newspaper work—movies ] showing Colonel Lindbergh arriving at Washington Satuday. News sure does travel fast in movie form these days. ; Other movies complete the bill, j At the Circle all week. Ol'R HEROINE JUST HAD TO BE LOVED 1 They could have called “The Whirlwind of Youth” by the title of 1 “Just Another Kiss” and the movie i would have been just as well named. | The kiss seems to have come back 1 suddenly as one of tire chief “busi-

ness" stunts in the movies. Never have I seen so much kissing of various designs since the days when the sheik movie was a fad. Donald Keith kisses maiden alter maiden in this movie, and it isn’t a comedy, cither. Donald specialized in the “kiss ’em and leave ’em” sort of a smack, until he planted one upon

Lois Moran

the lips of Lois Moran, a good and pu’-c little heroine. That one kiss upon a high cliff overlooking the ocean had such a different flavor than Donald was accustomed to that he decided right then and there that he had been playing the wrong game. I suppose a kiss has a flavor just as an ail-day-sucker has. Our heroine had the moral kiss of love and our would-be hero knows that much about life. It took a World War to make a real man out of the character played by Keith. The scenes depicted in this movie surely are not too unpleasant. V Our hero finds time not only to kiss our heroine, but even to marry her'before a baitle. Pretty kind movie writer was the author who attempted to make a film out of “The Whirlwinf of Youth. ’ Miss Moran does her best to make her kissing convincing and Keith does his best to make one believe

Movie Verdict CIRCLE—Isham Jones and his orchestra are the real hits on this bill. Here is an orchestra which is an orchestra. “The Tender Hour,” a movie, is not so tender as its title. APOLLO—Marion Davies is the cutest thing ever in "Tillie the Toiler.” This comedy is a delight. OHlO—Kisses of various designs and flavor are to be found in “The Whirlwind of Youth.” COLONIAL —Buster Keaton has a good comedy chance in “The General." Good entertainment.

LEWIS STONE TO ATTEND OPENING OF THE INDIANA Have just been told that Lewis Stone, movie star in First National Pictures, will be here for the opening of the Indiana Theater on next Saturday. He will leave the Pacific Coast Studio in time to be here for the formal opening.

He will bb the personal guest of Robert Lie ber while here. Other theaters today offer: Elliott Nugent in “The Poor Nut" at Keith’s; “Sure Fire" at English’s; Joe Rea and his California Nighthawks Revue at the Lyric; Forbes, Prout and company at the Palace and "The Broncho Twister” at the Isis. “The General" with Buster Keaton in the chief comedy role gi“es the comedian a real chance to tc funny. An interesting comedy by a man who knows how to be funny. On view at the Colonial all week. (BY OBSERVER) Please give the names of five Chineses actors in the moives?

Times Readers Voice Views

To The Editor: Since the letter published in the Indianapolis Times by Attorney General A. L. Gillion advising the proper use of whiskey when prescribed by attending physicians in referring to the wife of Governor Jackson and his own three children in critical illness, there has been much discussion in our papers, especially in the Times; and it now appears evident that public opinion is with the Attorney General and justifies his action as (vise and humane. But I notice as an exception that one doctor decidedly opposes the use of whisky, brandy, wine or alcohol in all cases of sickness, and refers to the Ninth Revision of the United States Pharmacopoeia to sustain his position along with others who do not know that the last Pharmacopoeia replaces whiskey and brandy. It is true that the Ninth Decennial Convention at Washington, D. C., May 10, 1910, discarded whiskey, brandy and wine, but retained alcohol in the Pharmacopoeia. This was in the Ninth Revision and became official September 1. 1916. But thereafter the Tenth Pharmacopoeial Convention assembled at Washington, D. c.. May 11. 1920. and adopted the Tenth Revision replacing whisky and brandy for medical use. This revision became official from January 1, 1926. Thus It will appear that these preparations—whiskey and brandy—after ten years are again recognized by the United States Pharmacopoeia with special directions that these remedies “Must have been stored in wood containers for a period of not less than four years," plainly showing that the eminent doctors, chemists and pharmacists as members of the Pharmacopoeial Convention clearly knew that these preparations were greatly improved by proper age. . * It may be well to recall that during the past ten years when epidemics occurred in New York and other large cities, the laws were suspended in order that whisky, brandy and wine could be used by physicians in prescribing and dispensing these remedies. The Eighteenth Amendment was j adopted by a vote of the people and | if it were enforced in its true intent; and real meaning, then there would be but little oppositioh to it by the people in general; but the Bone-dry Law of Indiana virtually nullifies the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act, which allow the use

AUCTION BRIDGE by MILTON C. WOItK Original Rid of Two Is Informatory and Frequently Advantageous.

The pointer for today is: With Ace-King-Quccn and Three Others, an Original Bid of Two Is Informatory and Frequently Advantageous. Saturday’s North Hand (Score, Love-All) A K-J.3 S? J-2 O K-Q-10-4 * K-9-6-3 My answers and reasons follow: No. 17—South pass. West pass; North should bid two Clubs. North’s hand docs not justify the -expectation of game in Clubs and not in No Trump; but it may be that South has passed with sufficient strength to make the combined hands produce a No Trump game and not a Club game. One stopper in the adverse suit probably would be needed to do this. It therefore is not advisable to make a preempting bid, but it is advisable to announce the strength of the Club suit accurately by the conventional two-bid. No/18—South one No Trump, West pass; North should bid three Clubs. • To bid two Clubs would be most deceptive as that woulcy indicate Club weakness. To pass with a worthless singleton might be dangerous, and there may be game at Clubs and not at No Trump. The bid of three Clubs, showing great strength in that suit and great assistance for No Trump, gives the partner the opportunity to bid three No Trumps if he have the other suits all protected; If not, to try for the game at Clubs. No. 19—South one Spade, West pass; North should pass. With normal support for Spades the best bid for tire combined hands is more apt to be reached by passing than by falsely denying Spades with a Club bid. The Clubs can be bid soundly on the next round after once passing, as that would not be a denial and such bid should be made if the opportunity for it arise. No. 20—South one heart. West pass; North should bid one No Trump. A close case between a No Trump and two Clubs, but the Club bid would not indicate the Diamond strength and might stand; there may be a game at No Trump and not at Clubs. Os course the Species are dangerous for No Trump; but with three cards of that suit in hand, the risk is worth taking.

Mr. Fixit Side Street and Alley Repairs Needed.

Letters to Mr. Fixit today indicated there is a need for repair of side streets and alleys with gravel or cinders. Street Commissioner Georg® Woodward announced that it is impossible to keep the streets in proper condition this year because of inadequate funds in the 1927 budget. Woodward Is trying to care for the worst places in the city and hopes to put streets in better condition next year with an additional appropriation. Complaints received by Mr. Fixit which will be Investigated are: Alley south of E. Raymond St., between Raymond and Tabor Sts.; Cornell Ave. from Sixty-First to Sixty-Second Sts.; and rear of 1613 S. Dawson St. The street department will grade and repair the streets and alleys if investigation shows conditions warrant action.
