BRITAIN FACED BY OWN FARM AIO PROBLEM Tax Cut and Lower Freight Rates Proposed to Ease Situation. Farm re.ief one of the major questions of American life lodav has its counterpart In t'ne nations of Europe. To ascertain what other powers are doln to meet farmers' problems, the united Press asked it 6 European bureaus to report the status of tnc agricultural question in their countries. The first article, bearing on the British situation. is presented herewith. LONDON. Feb. 14.—British farmers, like many of their American brethren, are anxious to have tariff aid or so-called “safeguarding measures” to protect, them in an unfavorable agricultural situation. The government is disinclined to apply the safeguarding measures which have been used to help some industries, but is working now upon a plan to reduce the farmer's handicaps and fienefit the ultimate consumer simultaneously. 48-Hour Week Handicap As matters stand today, the government is considering passing legislation to exempt farmers from certain taxes and to reduce freight rates. This would be accomplished through the new “de-rating bill.” Many here view British agricultural troubles as traceable to the fact that farm labor works fortyeight hours weekly, with Saturday afternoons and Sundays off. Production costs are thus increased, with the result that the housewife buys much imported produce, w r hich is cheaper. The government contends the safeguarding measures would put prices up and might bring general discontent. On the other hand, the government realizes that farmers are legally compelled to employ the forty-eight-hour week, with overtime for Saturday afternoons or Sundays, thereby requiring a larger outlay for labor than before the war. The so-called arable farmer—the tiller of the soil—is at a disadvantage as compared with the sheep raisers. Taxes Would Be Cut To reconcile the public demand for lower prices and at the same ♦ime alleviate the farmer’s predicament, it is proposed to pass legislation which would exempt farmers from paying local taxation on farm buildings and lands. The same bill provides for a reduction in freight rates, which would react to reduce farmer’s overhead. Other measures planned cover Improved marketing facilities and labelling of all foreign produce as such. SHERIFFS FORMER AID FACES THEFT CHARGE Trial ot tiansom M.

O’NEILL IS CHIEF TOPIC ON RIALTO Broadway Is Anxious to See What Kind of Hit ‘lnterlude’ Author Will Have With ‘Dynamo.’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN N r E’.V YORK, Feb. 14.—Broadway just now seems to be talking of three things and they are varied. The first is the opening of Eugene O’Neill's “Dynamo.” He is the man who gave the world “The Strange Interlude." Every time O’Neill brings a play to life on the stage, this old street is quite interested because O'Neill has passed the freak stage and has become the leading play writer of today. The second most discussed thing on Broadway as regards the theater i the success of Eva Le Gallienne and her Civic Repertory theater in the third season.

And the third is a one-person how. Ruth Draper in her characterizations. One is lucky to get eats for $2.85 for this one-cast show. It is remai'.cable to think that one woman has so much artistry that she can draw capacity houses for six nights a week. Since I have been in New York, T have seen many shows. Have had time for nothing else but the theater. I have seen the following shows for you: Eddie Cantor is “Whoopee.” Eva Le Gallienne and Nazimova in “The Cherry Orchard.” Claiborne Foster in “Gypsy.” Frank Mclntyre in “Boom Boom.” “Wings Over Europe,” a Theatre Guild production. “The Perfect Alibi,” the Milne mystery play. Ethel Barrymore in "The Kingdom of God.” Walter Wolfe in “The Red Robe.” Frank Fay topping the bill at the Palace. Ruth Gordon in “Serena Blandish.” The benefit for the Catholic Actors of America, the many artists included Will Rogers, Alice Brady, Bert Lytell, Bertram Peacock and Blanche Ring, as well as Charles Winninger. Lenore Ulric in “Mima.” That is quite a let of shopping to do in seven days’ time in New York. You ask me what I like best. Here is my answer —The best individual performance goes to Ethel Barrymore in “The Kingdom of God.” The most interesting play so far is the Theatre Guild production of “Wings Over Europe.” The best all-round performance goes to Nazimova in "The Cherry Orchard.” To strike personal note, I will tell you that I have seen Emil Seidel. He was master of ceremonies at the Palace in Indianapolis when they had a master. He left there to come to New York and today he is in charge of the Movietone music for Metro-Goldwin-Meyer. He is in demand fer piano work in the homes of the very rich who bring the theater into their own ballrooms and libraries. Seidel has made good. You know I have often told you that Seidel knows his piano. Another Indianapolis man has made good in New York. I am speaking of Wallace Richards, former Indianapolis newspaper man who is now associated with Oliver Saylor and has charge of the press work for Morris Gest and the Civic theater. Richards majors in art galleri' and the like. He has made good. And there are others from Indianapolis who hold commanding positions. Many players who arc well remembered in Indianapolis for their work in the Stuart Walker organization have leading roles in Broadway shows. On view at Indianapolis theaters today: “Bellamy Trial," at Loew"s Palace; “My Man,” at Apollo; “Abie's Irish Rose,” at Circle; George Jessel at Indiana; vaudeville at the Lyric; “Trial of Mary Dugan at English’s, and burlesque at the Mutual.

Sets Style This lovely New York girl, now appearing in George White’s famous “Scandals” has plenty of personality. Not only has she won Broadway’s admiration by the cleverness of her acting and dancing, but she has literally “set the style” for Fifth Avenue by the way she dresses her hair. “Girls in my position must do everything to keep their appearance pleasing,” says Miss Manners. “But I lead such a busy life that I can only use the simplest methods. I know I have discovered the easiest way of cioing my hair. It’s so popular now here in New York. It keeps my hair so easily manageable that I can dress it any way I want and it stays in place wonderfully. All I do is put a little Danderine on my brush every time I use it. My hair was dull and wiry before I started using Danderine. Now it’s so bright and sparkling and so soft and fluffy that every one compliments me. Danderine soothes my scalp and keeps away all traces of dandruff. It keeps my hair and scalp so clean, I don’t need to shampoo half as often as I used to.” Danderine quickly removes that oily film from the hair; brings out its natural color; makes it fairly sparkle. It keeps your hair soft and easily manageable while you’re letting it grow to the new length. It helps stop dandruff. It is delightfully frangranced: isn’t oily; doesn’t show. All drug stores have the generous 35c bottles. Over five million used a year.—Advertisement.
