WORLD SHOULD SLASH TARIFFS, BAKER ASSERTS Urges International Action to Spur Prosperity and Peace. £)/ Scrippn-Hword Xetctpapcr AlUnr.ce WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass., July 31. —Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war, in an address before the Institute of Politics, suggested co-operation of all nations in reducing tariffs to foster better international relations and stimulate world presperity. H>! recalled that the United States “once had a tariff which provided for a gradual reduction to a maximum cf 20 per cent by annual horijon:a; reduction in all schedules containing, as originally enacted, a duty in excess of that amount.” “This seems to me,” he said, “to hold out a very practical suggestion. "An International conference cculd assume that the present status of the tariff legislation of each country represents its present policy relative to all other nations with which its sustains trade relations. All Cut at Once “Such a conference could recommend. for general adoption, legislation in all countries, making horizontal reductions in all schedules, to go Into effect simultaneously, at definite rates over periods of years, calculated to permit the effect of the reduction to be absorbed by domestic readjustment. “This would preserve the relative situation*in all countries. It would meet the national prejudice against unilateral economic disarmament. It could be done much more rapidly than by any other process because no country would be put in any changed relative relation to other countries, and all countries would know in advance the extent and rate of change and so be able to busy themselves to meet the changes as they went into effect. Hits Capitalistic System “The final advantage of this plan seems to me to lie In the fact that it doe's not subject the tariff policy cf any nation to international control which would run counter to the insuperable obstacles of that national feeling which has, in every country, always insisted that tariff making is a domestic question.” Baker pointed out that political Institutions can not be subjected to sudden and revolutionary change, nor can peoples tear themselves away from established policies. But, he said, “we can modify our political arrangements to facilitate our economic development.” “In like manner we can modify our economic systems and bring them more into harmony with the theories which in this new age our political institutions arc based. Our own capitalistic system obviously needs modification.” BRITISH MAY STAGE WASHINGTON’S VICTORY Yorktown Pageant Skips Surrender Scene; Sends It to England. By T'nltrd Press WASHINGTON, July 31.—That famous scene of Lord Cornwallis’ surrender to George Washington may bn reproduced by the British themselves. The commission arranging a pageant at Yorktown, Va., has been hesitant about including the scene, for fear of hurting English pride. Now the town of Washington, England, home of the first President’s ancestors, lias written the George Washington bicentennial commission here for suggestions for pageants depicting the life of Washington. The commission will forward a scenario including the Yorktown surrender. A deaf and dumb person who is fairly expert at finger language can speak about forty-three words a minute.

DEVOTES LIFE TO | ERRING CHILDREN

II 1

Mrs. Prey Is Only Mother Many Urchins Ever Have Known. BY SHELDON KEY A blazing summer sun shown today in the dusky interior of the house where this city's most sacrificing mother lives. She abides in a decrepit apartment building—and has devoted her life to other people’s children. She is Miss Susanna J. Pray, superintendent of Marion county detention home—the only mother many a homeless urchin of the city’s streets ever has known. Her serene gray eyes sparkle brightly as she declares; “I am happy because I have devoted my life to the city’s children.” Hundreds of the city’s erring children will testify that it is Mrs. Prey’s benign, old-fashioned influ-

NEW POLICY STARTS SATURDAY AT LYRIC

Stage Shows Will Be Discontinued Under New Plan With the Talking Screen the Chief Attraction. WITH stage shows definitely discontinued at the Lyric until further notice, anew fall picture policy has been announced by the Lyric management, effective this Saturday: The best products of-Fox, Warner Brothers, Universal and Columbia Pictures will be seen this next season at the Lyric. The first of these pictures, which will open Saturday, is “The Miracle Woman,” with Barbara Stanwyck. The week following the Lyric has announced its success in securing “Dirigible,” the long talked about picture that startled New York. A stage play by jufin Meehand and Robert Riskin supplied the plot

for “The Miracle Woman,” which revolves about a young girl who becomes embittered toward her fellow beings when her father, a minister, is deposed because he is getting too old to hold the interest of his congregation. He dies of heartbreak, and something in the girl dies too, for she lets go of her fine, splendid principles and joins forces with Hornsby, a trickster who says you aren’t a

ence that transforms detention headquarters into a home. Recently the postman left a letter for Mother Pray—typical of scores she receives from her children. It was from John and postmarked “U. S. Navy” . . . "Dear Mother,” it said, “I now am in the navy and am making a man of myself. ... I never shall forget you, and I still have the tiny Bible you gave me when I left. . . . The story of that Bible, and many others just like it, holds the secret of Mother Pray’s success with her children, she said. Every Inmate of the home is given one when they have learned the ten commandments, the beatitudes, the First and Twenty-third psalms. “I believe that if I can get them interested in such things, it will turn them from their wrongdoing and help them, when they leave me, she explained. “I’ve never forgotten the good, old Quaker training of my youth,” she said.

hypocrit if you admit it, and there is only one side to be on—the winning side. How a blind youth, through his blind faith and love for the girl brings about her regeneration and salvation, is the theme of the story. Barbara Stanwyck is seen as the girl whose conscience wins out. Davicl Manners is seen as the blind youth and Sam Hardy is the adventurer. t Frank Capra directed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WALES SHAKEN IN AUTO CRASH Drives Through Fence to Avoid Smashup. By United Pres* LONDON, July 31—The prince of Wales w r as recovering today from minor bruises and a severe shak-ing-up suffered when his motor car collided with another while going at high speed Thursday. The prince, driving his own powerful “Zeppelin type” machine, deliberately drove through a fence to avoid a more serious accident. He escaped with a bad shaking, but three women in the other car were hurt. Only the quick-thinking and courage of the prince prevented a more serious mishap, witnesses said. The prince had played golf and was leaving the Sunningdale course for his residence at Ft. Belvedere when the other car appeared suddenly in the path of his “Zeppelin” machine at a turn. The heir to the British throne stepped on the accelerator and his machine shot forward. The move lessened the force of the crash which otherwise might have been a head-on collision. The prince’s car shot across the road with a roar and crashed through a fence. The other machine was raked along the side, and swung against the fence. Nine-tenths of the population of India live in villages remote from political activities.
