COLLE6E HEADS ELECT WILKINS AS PRESIDENT Oberlin Chief Selected at Close of National Meeting in City Today. Literature is at one of its lowest cbbe. It suffers from an orgy of Indiscrimination Future greatness of American letters rests in the schools and colleges. The book business is its worst enemy. These terse comments with the .n Junction to hammer classical books into the mental taste of citizens were made by Joseph Wharton Llppincott, president of the J. B. Llppincott Publishing Company, at the closing session of the Association of American Colleges today in the Claypool. With the conclusion of the twoday meeting. Dr. Ernest H. Wilkins, nresident of Oberlin college, was -'lected president of the association. Urges Manuscript Tests Other officers are: J. P. Mitchell, registrar of Stanford university, vice-president; Dr. Robert L. Kelly, New York City, executive secretary, and William Mather Lewis, president of Lafayette college, treasurer. In Lippincott's address he recited the book publishing flood that struck the nation a few years ago. “The average life of a book grew shorter and shorter. The publisher met it with hand-to-mouth buying without regard for the relative value of the publication. The public got what it clamored for but, naturally, was disappointed in quality,” he said. "If every manuscript, before publication, was subject to a test of whether it was worthy to be placed on the shelf of a college library, there would be better books and less titles. Dr. Bryan Is Speaker. “The book trade alone can not make a book-reading nation. It is the work of the colleges,” he concluded. Dr. William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana university, in a talk on “Vocational and Nonvocationa) Training In the College of Liberal Arts,” urged that professional and preprofessional studies be postponed until after graduation and that general college courses be taken during the undergraduate years. Frederick Woodward, vice-presi-dent of the University of Chicago, and Marion E. Park, president of Bryn Mawr college, also spoke. New members named on the association’s executive committee were Dean Luther P. Eisenhart, Princeton university; Dean Herbert E. Hawkes, Columbia university; James L. McConaghy, president of Wesleyan university, and Rector James H. Ryan of the Catholic university of America. asksTstate aid delay Indiana Senate Suggests Congress Hear Views Before Acting. Federal aid to states, in various forms, is appreciated, but states should have some voice in the matter, the state senate believes. Tire senate Thursday adopted a concurrent resolution introduced by Senator J. Francis Lochard (Dem., Dearborn, Jennings and Ripley), asking congress to defer any action on pending bills “designed to make financial grants in aid to the several states” until state legislatures may appoint committees to confer with appropriate congressional committees.

REAL PRISON LIFE IS FOUND IN MOVIE “The Criminal Code” Does Not Make Pollyanna Characters Out of the Men Behind Iron Bars. THE many crime commissions attempting to curb the present epidemic of lawlessness in the United States are attacking the problem from two distinct angles. They are first attempting to do away with vicious sbeial conditions which establish breeding places for criminals. And they are trying to give convicts a motive for good behavior while in prison and the hope of some future happiness when they are released. “The Criminal Code,” coming to the Apollo, Saturday, presents a picture of the breaking and mending of a youthful convict’s soul. Love transforms a desperate, nerve-shattered boy who stares in dumb misery

at his surroundings with a mind that is almost blank. He dares to hope—he sees a glimmer of possible happy days to come—and from this moment he is a changed man. “The Criminal Code” is from the play of the same name which was a famous Broadway hit and prize wanner. It is said to be an absorbing romance with a distinctly original slant. Walter Huston, w r ho plays the stellar role, is a veteran of many motion picture successes. He is supported by Phillips

Not” series and “Crying for Caroline” are included on the program, 000 MARIE AND POLLY ARE TOGETHER AGAIN The easiest job ever offered extra players in Hollywood came to a group of 200, used in “Chuck” Riesner’s new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, “Reducing,” co-starring Marie Dressier and Polly Moran, which will be shown at the Palace for one week, Starting Saturday. Usually the lot of the extra is not easy. In costume pictures such as “The Great Meadow,” period of 1776, he has to be fitted to costumes, wear wigs and put on an elaborate makeup which takes a long time to prepare. In Cecil B. De Mine’s “Madam Satan” scores of extras made jumps in parachutes from a falling Zeppelin. In John Gilbert’s “Way 'or a Sailor,” being soaked to the skin in a rainstorm was just part of the day's work. In “Reducing,” however, the extras didn't have to put on makeup or queer clothes. They were ordered to ‘come just as you are” and all to “come just as you are” and all was to walk around and laugh at the antics of Marie Dressier and Polly Moran. Just think of getting paid for that! They were used to simulate a crowd in the Grand Central station, New York, massing around the exit to one of the passenger tunnels, as Marie, with family, arrives to visit her sister, the successful beauty parlor owner, ‘Madam Pauline Rochay.” Marie's two boys get into mischief immediately and in extricating them from trouble their mother nearly causes a riot. “Reducing” boasts a strong supporting cast, including Anita Page, Lucien Littlefield, William (Buster) Collier Jr., Sally Eilers and William Bakewell. Other films comprising the balance of the program will include a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer colortone revue, “The Snappy Caballero,” the Hearts Metrotone News Pictorial, a Flip the Frog cartoon novelty and a curiosity subject. 0 0 0 Indianapolis theaters today offer: Benny Rubin at the Indiana, “The Widow from Chicago” at the Ohio, “The Bat Whispers” at the Palace, “The Man Who Came Back” at the Apollo, “Mothers Cry” at the Circle, Salt and Peanuts at the Lyric, movies at the Colonial, and burlesque at the Mutual.

In Legislature 50 Years Ago

By United Press A BILL designed to prohibit railroad trains from traveling at a rate greater than twentyfive miles an hour was introduced in the 1881 legislative session by Representative Johnson of Jefferson county. The bill was numbered 121 of the session and entitled “An act to prevent railroad accidents.” It provided that “at no time trains run at a speed greater than twenty-five miles an hour, or more than four miles an hour when approaching crossings, and shall come to a complete stop for a few seconds at all -crossings.” Some lawmakers received the bill with favor because they believed it would lessen the danger to horse-drawn vehicles at crossings, but it never became a statute.

STREY DRAFTS DILL FOR NEW HIGHWAYSETUP Wedeking Defense Weak, Says Senator; Wants Board" Abolished. Senator Charles L. Strey (Rep., Kosciusko and Wabash) is preparing to reply to Chairman Albert J. Wedeking’s defense of the state highway department today by Introducing next week a bill to abolish the present commission entirely and create a new setup with four fulltime commissioners to be paid $6,000 a year and to be nominated by the Governor with senate approval. Wedeking issued a statement defending the commission’s failure to collect federal aid by showing that in years gone by this also happened. The statement came from Lafayette where the commission chairman Is attending the Purdue university roads school. This failure to collect the funds is to be investigated by a committee of the senate provided for by a resolution adopted unanimously Thursday and headed by Senator Strey. The committee will hold its first meeting Monday, ’Strey announced. “Wedeking’s defense is pretty weak,” Strey commented this morning. “It doesn't deny that the commission failed to collect $3,500,000

in federal aid at a time when the money was sorely needed for drought and unemployment relief, "Nor does it explain that the commission, while letting this money lie idle at Washington, borrowed sl,600,000, although they had $22,000,000 a year to spend, the greatest sum in commission history." One of the points Strey says his committee will inquire into is whether it is not a fact that the commission had more contracts let a year ago last October than would have been necessary to collect all federal aid.

Hemorrhoids How to End Painful Pile* Without Salves or Cutting Thousands of Pile sufferers have learned that quick and permanent relief can only be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves or ointments remove the cause. v Bad circulation of the blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The veins are flabby, the bowel walk weak—the parts almost dead. To end Piles an internal medicine must be used to stimulate the circulation and strengthen the affected parts. Dr. J. S.' Leonhardt was the first to discover a real Internal Pile remedy. He called his prescription HEM-ROID. and prescribed it for 1,000 patients with the marvelous record of success in 060 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEM-ROID from their own druggist with a rigid money-back guarantee. Dr. Leonhardt’s prescription has a wonderful record of success right in this city and Hook Drug Stores invite every Pile sufljerer to try HEM-ROID and guarantees to refund the purchase price if it does not end all Pile misery. —Advertisement.
