FLAPPER IS BEST ‘MA’

She sßearing Healthy Crop ofKids

BY BERYL MILLER NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—They called her a flapper, with her short skirts, rouged lips and bobbed hair. They said she was blazing a jazz-mad path on the very edge of the eternal abyss. And now' look what she's doing—rearing the healthiest crop of babies since Cain and Abel wriggled their tiny toes in a sand pile just outside the Garden of Eden. In the ten years since those early days of the post-war period, when

She wears fewer clothes and maybe she smokes cigarets—but her babies are three times healthier than those of a generation a-go. moralists were everlastingly predicting a gloomy future for the younger generation, the flapper has grown into womanhood, married and had babies, just like others of her sex have been doing for centuries.

That this first crop of “flapper babies” is far healthier than that reared a generation ago by the modern girl's caustic critics is revealed in a study of mortality rates of millions of babies throughout the nation by the American Child Health Association. B B ft BABIES born to these modern young women ha v e three times the chance of survival as did youngsters born to the sterner mothers of a quarter century ago. In 1900, there were 19.8 deaths per 1.000 among children 1 to 4 years of age. while in 1925 the rate was only 6.2 per 1.000. And 162.2 of every 1.000 babies under 1 year old

T~h

She’s not the nid-fashioned type of mother, but she’s doing a swell job at rearing the kids—and health statistics prove it.

“The higher economic status of young people today is a vital factor in making healthier babies," Dr. Crumbine declared. “The modem mother may go in for cigarets, cocktails and gay life in this so-called jazz age, but, generally speaking, she is living better, has better recreation, is better informed on health subjects and is therefore rearing healthier babies, despite whatever other traits she may have acquired.” A 10 per cent increase in wages means a 10 per cent decrease, in mortality in many diseases, according to Dr. Crumbine. 808 “ r T''HE young woman of today is A better informed th4n her mother was on baby-care. The modern mother learns proper care of herself in the pre-natal period. She is able to have the best of care at child-birth. She gives her baby wholesome, pasteurized milk. She takes it to a doctor at regular intervals for examination, thereby presenting disease gaining a hold upon the child.” The mothers’ freedom of dress, short skirts, scant underclothes and penchant for fresh air and sunshine is reflected in her care of her children. “A scant generation ago,” Dr. Crumbine said, “many babies were virtually smothered in long dresses and kept in close, insanitary rooms. Today, they are being developed into robust youngsters by plenty of fresh air. wholesome milk, health-giving sunshine and proper clothes." ROBIN HERE AUG. 10 Refueling Exhibitions Will Be Given in City. The St. Louis Robin, world champion endurance plane, with Dale (Red> Jackson and Forest 1 Obie i O'Brine, will arrrive here Aug. 10 for a two-day stay.

Aug. 2.—Eight miners were killed in an explosion in a coal mine at Coureelles Les lines near here. Four others were overcome by gas but were revived. There were 160 miners in the mine at the time of the explosion, but all managed to escape except the eight whose bodies were later recovered.

8,178 CLAIMS PAIS FARMERS Refunds Given for Taxes on Gasoline. Indianians and tourists within the state's boundaries spent, approximately seven and three-quarters millions of dollars for gasoline in July, monthly reports in the state auditor's office indicated today. Refund claims paid to farmers for taxes paid on gasoline used for agricultural purposes totaled 8,178, the largest number in the history of the gasoline tax collecting department. according to Leland J. Fishback. collector. The July refunds amounted to $82,232.69. The previous high month was in June, 1928, when 7.930 refunds were made. July refunds in 1928 total 5.675, amounting to $38,914.76. Gasoline consumption in the state for the month just ended totaled 38,331,785 gallons, which, at an average price of 20.2 cents a gallon, costs motorists and other users $7,743,020.57, according to unofficial compilation. July consumption was second only to that of tire preceding month, when 39.279.683 gallons were used, netting, under •he 4-rent tax. the high collection total of $1,571,187.33. In -July the 4-cent tax netted SL--533,271.40, or a 47 per cent increase over the revenues obtained in July. 1928—51,036,781.67.

HOOVER MAY USE TENT AS WHITEHOUSE President Considers Move to Fishing Preserve to Escape Heat. NEW ROAD PLANNED Radio and Better Highway Will Permit Longer Stays at Camp. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 Banking on continued fine weather. President Hoover cleared his desk this morn- j ing preparatory to beginning a week-end in the Shenandoah Na- j tional Park fishing preserve. Allan Hoover, younger son of the ! President, lias recovered sufficiently from a stomach disorder, which confined him to his bed all week, to joint the outing party today. The week-end will be devoted to ! recreation and rest. Postmaster-General and Mrs. | Walter Brown, and Attorney-Gen- ; eral Mitchell were the only members : of the cabinet circle invited to ac- j company the President. Other guests were Director Frank T. Hines of the veteran's bureau and Mrs. Hines; Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Richey and Lieutenant-Commander Joel T. Boone, White House physician. Radio Tower Ready The campers will find anew hill top observation tower on the highest point of the presidential pre- i serve. The new steel tower, about sixty feet high, is erected on a mountain peak 3.800 feet above sea level. While constructed primarily to afford a sweeping view of the picturesque Shenandoah valley, it will serve later as a radio broadcasting station, through which the chief executive may communicate with the capital. Special telephone lines already connect the camp with the White House switchboard, but the President plans to use the radio sending and receiving apparatus for longer communications. As soon as the new equipment is installed, the President probably will spend longer periods at the camp. Although White House officials were silent on the prospect.. there were indications today Presi- j dent Hoover plans to spend a week or more at the camp before the senate reconvenes. Aug. 19. May Hare Tent White House If the current heat wave is pro- i longed, the chief executive may ex- i periment with the plan of establishing a temporary White House j beneath the tented roofs and timber walls of big Rapidan retreat. Another step toward establishing a more permanent camp was seen j in the dispatch of a grop of army , engineers from Ft. Humphrey, Va., ; to supervise construction of a highspeed roadway up the mountain j side. This road would reduce the j automobile time between the camp ; and the White House about an j hour. The trip now requires a lit- I tie more than four hours and neces- j sitates a change from the White | House limousines to smaller cars at j the beginning of the present moun- ; tain trail. ASK FOR BONO ISSUE! . Irvington School Problem j Passed to Tax Board, The school board today decided to I pass the problem of what to do about the new Irvington high school j to the state tax board. Low bids ! received Thursday on the school totaled $753,613. while the board has appropriated only $600,000. The* building and grounds committee of the school board decided today to present two plans to the state tax board. Plan one asks for an additional bond issue of $200,000, and plan two calls for a transfer of $50,000 from the general fund, and cutting the cost of the building by eliminating the gymnasium.. The tax board may accept one of these proposals. In case both are rejected it will be necessary to advertise for new bids. - WORLD NEGROES MEET Eli United Preps KINGSTON. Jamaica. Aug. 2.

Maybe Alice Is Dumb; Maybe She Is a Poor Actress; Still She’s a Star

BY DAN THOMAS NEA Sfrrlre Writr Hollywood, cai., Aug. 2. —How does she do it? She can t act and she's dumber than all get out. Those, and a few more things even less complimentary, have been whispered arcund Hollywood about Alice White for thf last year. And when Hollywood folk start putting somebody on the pan they can be brutal. But while the knockers were thinking up new reports to circulate about Alice, this young actress was forging steadily ahead until now she is one of the biggest stars on the First National lot. For a while even the First National executives didn’t hand Alice very much. In tact, they' thought so little of her that they allowed her contract to expire about a year ago. Then the exhibitors set up such a howl for more Alice White pictures that she was brought back and given anew contract-at SIOO a week more than she had oeen getting. Alice even has been called high-hat. That, along with a number of other accusations, is untrue. Alice's only trouble is that she rose to stardom too rapidly. She felt that she should' assume the airs of a star but sty didn't know quite how to so about it. Then directors tried to drive her and she becam° stubborn, acquiring the reputation of being temperamental. If the truth were known, this blond actress at heart is still just a kid. And once you penetrate her film star pxterior. you see that kid. Until she came into pictures Alice never knew any of the

luxuries of life. Asa result, once she started tasting these luxuries, she wanted to go to the very top of the cinema pinacle so that everything she desired might be hers.

HOOSIER IS IN LINE FOR NOBEL PRIZE

Samuel 0. Levinson, Formerly of Noblesville, Is Praised by English Press. Lifelong devotion to the cause of world peace, culminating in the Briand-Kellogg treaties for the renunciation of war. may win the Nobel Peace Prize for a former Indianan. Salmon O. ljevinson. once a resident of Noblesville. now a Chicago attorney. Levinson, son of the late N. D. Levinson. Noblesville merchant for a half-century, and brother of Harry Levinson. Indianapolis hatter, is accredited as the first w’ho conceived the idea of outlawing war. who discovered leaders for the movement and w'ho supplied them with arguments and strategy, by which the outlawry of war finally was accomplished. Levinson is of the firm of Chicago lawyers. Levinson, Becker, Glenn & Frank. The Glenn of that firm is United States Senator Glenn of Illinois. With public honors going to Kellogg. Briand and former President Coolidge for their faith in negotiating the treaties, few know that it was the private citizen, Salmon O. Levinson, that gave the movement the big inspiration. Backed by English Press The Manchester Guardian, liberal English newspaper, international in its force, recently said of Levinson’s initiative: “His achievement Is what the American’s call a one-man achievement, that has crowned a one-man campaign. There is some confusion about the name of the treaty. “It is called the Kellogg pact, but the idea is not Mr. Kellogg's. It is called the Paris pact, but there are other Paris pacts. “It should be called the peace pact, for it is the only peace pact. “Truly, it is a prodigious one-man achievement and if the nobel prize is awarded to Mr. Levinson, it never will have had a worthier recipient.” The “Christian Century,” published in Chicago, a journal devoted to American Protestantism, in its issue of July 31, said that “Levinson. more than all others, official or unofficial, who have contributed to the outlawry of war, deserves our plaudits.” Advocated Outlawry in 1918 Levinson first attracted attention with a magazine article in 1918. presenting his thesis. He discovered, he wrote, that there was no law against war, but that it was supremely legal in international relationship. Levinson declared that war must be outlawed by universal treaty. For ten years Levinson worked

on his idea. One of Ills first great supporters was the late Senator Knox and later John Dewey, the philosopher. He won the support of Senator Borah, later to be chairman of the foreign relations committee of the senate. He created the American Committee of the Outlawry of War, and its messages went from its headquarters in Chicago, which were Levinson's law offices. Proposed U. S.-French Treaty Levinson hurried to Paris in April. 1927. when the French statesman, Briand, proposed a bi-lateral treaty for the outlawry of war between the United States and France, to present to him the thought that two nations could not make international law; that the proposed treaty would have to be not between France and the United States, but between all nations a view that was the American one. defended officially by Senator Borah and Secretary of State Kellogg.

URGES BRITISH SHIPS BE SUNK Borah Insists England Reduce Navy. Bv United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.—New pressure was being exerted today from this .side of the Atlantic on the-British-American naval limitation problem. Senator William E. Borah, chair*man of the senate foreign relations committee, has suggested Great Britain show genuine interest in disarmament actually by sinking some of ber ships, as the United States did after the Washington arms conference. “Great Britain now has fifty-nine modern cruisers built, or building—a tonnage of 375.000. We now have eighteen modern cruisers built, or building.” he said. “If Great Britain will sink some of her ships, it will not only save the taxpayer, but reduce the incentive to war. Huge armaments always are an incentive to war.” At the time of the Washington conference, the United States, with its tremendous battleship building program under way, was on the point of outstripping Great Britain. Now Great Britain is far ahead of the United States in cruisers. The United States has embarked upon a fifteen-cruiser program headed toward cruiser parity with Great Britain, but many in Washington take the view that money would be saved by both sides if the relative strength of the two powers were pegged at the present American strength.

SMOOT DRAFTS PLAN TO HALT HIKE IN SUGAR New Tariff Sliding Scale Is Given Out by Head of Senate Committee. HOUSE FIGURES CUT Expels Agree That Utah Senator Has Effected Best Compromise. BY PAUL MALLON I'nitfd Pre.s Staff Corrupandent WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. ThS I Smoot, sliding scale, using th e pres- ! ent sugar tariff duty as a basic rats to maintain refined sugar at 6 cents a pound in New York, was announced today by its author, Chairman Reed Smoot of the senate finance committee. Smoot contended the scale virtually would wipe out the house duty and return the sugar rate al- : most to the existing law. j At 6 cents a pound. Smoot would I fix the Cuban duty at. 1.76 cents j and the world rate at 2.20 cents ' a pound, the same rates as now are ! in force, as compared with 2.4 cents | and 3 cents, which would be set by the house bill. While Smoot was making public his. sliding scale, protest against; action of the committee in “boosting agricultural tariff rates and lowering industrial schedules” was made before the committee today by Senator G. H. Moses (Rep.. N. H.'. Resentment in East “A growing feeling of resentment is felt throughout the east, over what is understood to be the committee's actions," Moses said. "That is. boosting the duties on agricultural products, the things we have to buy and eat. and taking the duties off those things we must sell to buy things to eat.” When sugar goes below 6 cents a pound. Smoot gradually would increase his duty until it would reach 2.16 cents for Cuba and 2.70 cents for the world, when the price was 5.5 cents: 2.4 Cuba and 3 cents world at 5.2 cents a pound. This maximum 3-cent rate, which was adopted by the house would apply only in case sugar should drop to 5.2 cents or below. The Cuban differential would make the 2.4 rate applicable to Cuban imports • when the price drops helow 5.2 I cents. Smoot's scale would lover the duty to 1.36 cents for Cuba and 1.70 cents for the world when the price reached 6.5 cents: .96 cent for Cuba and 1.2 rents for the world when ! the price reaches 7 cent', and .8 centand 1 cent, world when the price reaches 7.5 cents. Apply to Refined Crad r s The prices apply to refined sugar in the New York market, and are figured on all grades. In no case would the duty be lower than 1 cent nor higher than .3 cents and in all cases Cuba would receive the 20 per cent differential. Figured on the present New York I sugar rate which Smoot, understood | to be 5.75. the scale would impose Ia 2.35 world tariff rate, which would | be .65 lower than the flat 3-eent, rate on the house bill and 1.5 above the I present law. Experts agree that ; Smoot's scale appears to be a perfect I compromise between the present law ! and the house bill, its rate being [ theoretically and generally about 50 j per cent above the present law’ and ! 50 per cent lower than the house bill. The scale has been submitted by Smoot to the Republican members of his committee. w r ho are studying it. One day, next Wednesday, will be devoted to public hearings upon it. Scale Is Announced The scale as announced by Smoot follows: Net ca.sh refined price per 100 weight,, average three months: New York basis World duty In cents in cents 7.5 1 7.4 1 7.3 1 1.7 1 7.1 1.1 . 1.2 6.9 1.3 6.6 1.4 6.7 1.5 66 1.6 6.5 1.7 6.4 1.8 6.3 1.9 6.2 2 $15,000 BAIL GIVEN FOR GASTONIA WOMEN Cash Is Taken From American Fund in Strike Case.
