You get the idea, I am sure. First. I want you to meet anew hero and anew kind of one that children all over the country will love. When I was a lad my “heroes” were Jack of beanstalk fame, rabbits, dogs and the Alger boys. Now. the very small boys have a new hero in “Smoky,” by Wilhelm Schulz. And you never can guess who or what “Smoky” is. Well—temokv is a lively locomotive. I Well, that sounds pretty crazy. No. not at all. because ' Smoky' will take the very little boy as well as his very little sister a trip over Germany. Smoky slides down rails with “a swish and a roar” with his mouth closed grimly. Smoky talks to himself and he says: "I'll teach that cow to respect the rights of others.” And he growls to himself that he has used this track for years and vears and considers it his property and not the cows M M M So Smoky gave the cow "a good bump" but later on Smoky felt sorry because he hit the cow. Smoky was all worried and bothered over a broken axle and the axle made him “cross.' Smoky is a philosopher because he tells his little friends. “Anyway, rows as well as people should learn that engines are dangerous Engines can't always stop if they want to.' And Smoky has an eye because he looks at the rabbits, the deer and other animals as well as little children at play. And one time Smoky had to go to the hospital just like little boys and girls.

FAMED PASTOR WHO BATTLED TAMMANY DIES Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst Walks Off Porch in His Sleep. STILL MILITANT AT 91 Led Winning Fight Against Vice in New York 40 Years Ago. BY MARION F. COLLINS I nitcri Press Staff Correspondent ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Sept. 8.- - Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst. fighting preacher and reformer, who shocked the country in the 90s with blistering denunciations of vice and Tammany hall, was killed today while walking in his sieep. He walked out of his bedroom in the home of his nephew', Winthrop Parkhurst. and passed through an open window onto the roof of a porch, from which he fell to ‘the ground. Dr. Parkhurst was 91, feeble, but still possessing a sharp tongue. The oratory from his pulpit in the 90s broke Tammy halls grip on New York iCty, exposed a lirison between organized vice and politics, and launched a reform era that extended from one end of the country to the other. Starts Smash at Vice Parkhurst had a gift for phrase making. In the 90s. when it was fashionable to shudder at a public glimpse of a feminine ankle, he made the discreet precincts of his Mapison Square Presbyterian church reverberate with “this city is hell with the lid off.” Parkhurst came to New York, not a reformer, but a scholarly divine. Certain of his male parishioners confessed certain things to him. He gathered other bits of information by hearsay. One Sunday morning in 1892. he dropped his mild manner and shouted indignantly at his congregation: “There is not a form under which the devil disguises himself that so perplexes us in our efforts, or so bewilders us in the devising of our schemes, as the polluted harpies that, under the pretensp of governing this city, are feeding day and night on its quivering vitals. They are a lying, perjured, rum-soaked and libidinous lot.” Makes Good as Sleuth He promptly was summoned before the grand jury by the Tammany district attorney and forced to admit he had no evidence. Humiliated, he concealed his profession. and entered upon an investigation of the New York red light district. at that time something which would have put the barbary coast in its palmiest days, to shame. He came out of that investigation with evidence—2B4 affidavits, each descriptive of one house of illrepute. It shocked the town. The Lexow legislative committee was authorized. It heard 700 witnesses, its minutes filled 10.576 pages, mostly concerning astonishing official corruption. Tammany Leader Richard Crcker quit and at the next election an aroused public removed the Tammany administration from office. Falls Dead in Home Francis M. Davis, 53, of 1145 South Ewing street, fell dead today at his home. Dr J. A. Salb, deputy coroner, said death was due to natural cause.

Parachute Champion and Woman Missing on Lake * By lf itrd Pre ** CHICAGO. Sept. B—Coast guard patrol boats and several airplanes started over Lake Michigan at dawn today in a search for H. W. (Spud) Manning, premier parachute jumper, and two companions, one a woman, missing for more than forty hours on a flight here from South Bend, Ind. Manning and his companions were flying in an autogiro. Fear that the plane, bucking a stiff headwind, had exhausted its fuel supply and fallen into the lake was expressed by air-

men here. Concern for the missing trio was increased when Captain MacDonald of the lake steamer Roosevelt docked here and reported he had sighted a large piece of fabric, appearing to be from an airplane, six miles out. With Manning were Carl Otto, an autogiro pilot, and Miss Majenta Gerard of Chicago. They were returning from a banquet given by Vincent Bendix in South Bend for pilots. The coast guard station at Michigan City reported sighting an autogiro flying toward Chicago over the lake at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. Manning left South Bend a half hour earlier. Captain Lon Yancey. trans-Atlantic flier and a friend of Manning, was expected to be one of the fliers starting this morning in the search. He said he understood there was sufficient fuel in Manning's plane for two hours' flying. Manning, it was reported, had planned to take a short

cut across the lake, instead of following the customary lake shore route. Fliers pointed out that if the plane descended into the water, it probably would have gone down immediately. Held aloft by revolving blades and virtually without wings, the erkft would have had no buoyancy, they explained.

MAE WEST BEGINS AS TROUPER AT 5

Long, Hard Struggle Waged to Reach Heights of ‘Diamond Lil’

This I* the second of throe stories on Mao Moat, tho buxom artress who Is restorinr; rurves to feminine favor. BY WILLIS THORNTON NFA Service Writer VIEW YORK. Sept. B—The girl who was to put the red light in the theater in place of the spotlight, and the hour-glass in the place of the stove-poker as a model for the female form divine, was destined for the theater as inevitably as a hot dog is destined for a bun. Mae West’s mother was a native Parisienne. She died a few years ago. Battling Jack West, the onetime lightweight prize nghter W'ho was her father, now r is a Long Island chiropractor. Mae grew up in Greenpoint in the far reaches of darkest Brooklyn. She was one of those kids that every neighborhood knows: She “had talent.” Mae w'on mast of the prizes at amateur theatrical affairs. Before she was 5 she was giving performances at church and club socials, doing impersonations of Eva Tanguay, Eddie Foy, George M. Cohan, and the popular idols of a day which Mae herself now says was not so 99 44-100 per cent pure as some like to suppose. She refers you to the Police Gazette for 1905. MUM 'T'HE kid was good, all agreed, and soon she went ahead. She got on as a child actress with Hal Clarendon's stock company at the Gotham theater in East New' York. She played child characters in the good old shows like “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” "The Moonshiner's Daughter” and "East Lynne.” She was the little daughter who implored “Father, dear father, come home with me now,” in “Ten Nights in a Bar Room.” She was the saccharine Lovey Mary in "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." As the golden-haired Little Eva of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” Mae was more than once wafted up to heaven on a piano wire. There was no hint that this innocent child one day would make an even greater success by going theatricality to hell in her own plays. However— Between the acts of the oldfashioned drama, there used to be little vaudeville acts called olios. Mae did her share of these w'hen the play did not call for a child part. She sang songs, and became what was known in those days as a “coon shouter.” Mae avers today that irl this pe-

City-Owned Utility Asks State to O. K. Rate Cut Public service commissioners today are pondering over the request of the famed municipally owned electric plant at Washington to cut its profits $20,000 annually and lower its kilowatt hour rate from 7 to 5 cents.

The request was laid before the commission Thursday afternoon by Mayor John W. McCarty of Washington. The mayor was Joined by J. P. Adkins, plant superintendent, and Fred Dobbyn, in relating the history of municipal ownership which has caused Washington to be cited throughout the nation. Rate reductions asked at this time would place lighting in line with cooking and avoid unfair use, Adkins explained. A hearing before the commission was made necessary by the city's request to increase the monthly minimum rate of 50 cents to sl. Domestic rates, however would be

Despite the fact that compliance at the plant with the NRA code has added $l2O monthly to the overhead and the new state law reqires a tax of SIO,OOO this year, the lower rates will provide ample return on the city’s investment, Adkins testified. The new rates would be the lowest charged anywhere in southern mdiana, he said. In 1932. the Washington plant earned an 11 per cent return on a property investment of $666,000 and stands free of testified. Its profit for the year was $72,000, after a 3 per cent allowance for depreciation had been made. Mayor McCarthy recounted that $40,000 annually had been transferred from the light plant account to the city general fund since 1930. He said that in 1933 nearly $90,000 would be transferred to pay costs of the city’s operation above the $6,275 sum allowed by the county tax adjustment board, which set the city tax levy at *ll cents. In 1930. the tax rate was $1.12, the mayor said. Plant profits have been used for unemployment relief. Mayor McCarty explained. Pay rolls were created through street and alley construction and the city now has a $150,000 public works program under way.

Effort to reduce rates in 1927 was checkmated by the commission, the mayor asserted. Adkins said that only three months since the plant has operated have revenues declined. January was the only month this year when decrease was noted. Since then an increase has been registered monthly, despite depression, he said. “The cheaper rates are the more electricity people use,” he pointed out. “We look to have our revenues restored within three months after this decrease by reason of increased consumption.

Cops ‘Kiss and Make Up’ Everything’s Explained in Failure of State Police to Be in on Bank Holdup. MIKE and Matt have kissed and made up.

Captain Matt Leach of the state police did not hear of the robbery until he “read it in the p&pers.” This long-distance method of notification and a resultant account in The Times resulted in Police Chief Mike Morrissey calling A1 Feeney. Matt's boss and safety director, to iron out the difficulty. It was found after a checkup that Chief Mike Morrissey thought that “Cap” Matt surely would hear of the robbery over state police radio.

Balloon Pilots Missing; Rangers Launch Search By In itsrJ Prrux CHICAGO. Sept. B.—Rangers of southeastern Canada joined with American officials today in a search for four airmen missing in two balloons which left here Saturday in the Gordon Bennett races.

The balloons, unreported since they sailed away from Curtiss-Wright-Reynolds airport with five other contestants, were believed to have drifted to the northeast. Prevailing winds at the start of the race probably would have carried them north in the province of Quebec, contest officials said. Secretary of State Cordell Hull was understood to have asked Warren D. Robbins, American minister to Canada, to ask provincial authorities to join in the search. Forest rangers, it was reported here, were ordered to scout isolated sections of the province for word of the balloons. Flying in the two missing craft were Ward T. Van Orman, piloting the Goodyear IX, and Captain Francizek Hynek and Lieutenant Zbiginew Burzynski in the Polish entry. Frank A. Trotter was accompanying Van Orman, one of the United States’ outstanding balloonists. Three times Van Orman has won the Bennett trophy. The Polish fliers likewise are veteran airmen. They participated in the 1932 race held in Switzerland. The Polish consul’s office here asked race officials to begin a search for them.

But Chief Mike did not know that the state police had moved from the third floor of the statehouse to the basement, and that the state's radio was not attached to the proper current for snatching robbery reports from the air. So Feeney today absolved Chief Mike of playing "holdout’ ’on the city's pet bank robbery with the remark that “it'll never happen again”—meaning the failure to receive the robbery call—not another bank robbery.

She helped several of her vaudeville accompanists to make good among them were Harry Richman, whom she persuaded to change his name from Reichman, and Jack Smith, “the Whispering Baritone.” m a BUT the shimmy soon failed to shock a theater world that was turning smoothie, and Mae West went on to higher things. She appeared only now' and then in some musical show', but the itch to write that broke oht all through her youth in a remarkable ability to “ad lib” lines under all circumstances, now broke out in a play of her own. It was called, with the delicate restraint that has marked Maes w'hole career, “Sex." Some people thought “Sex” was funny, some thought it vulgar, mast of the critics called it garbage, and practically everybody agreed that it was a terrible play. But for eleven months Daly’s theater was jammed with people who went to find out about, “Sex." Mae West's first play was a sensation. Then suddenly somebody discovered that "Sex" was immoral. The police pounced on Daly's theater, and bundled the luscious Mae into the Black Maria for the trip to court. Despite fervent pleas of her lawyers that "Sex” was no more obscene than "Hamlet” and was really something like “A Tale of Two Cities,” a jury awarded Mae ten days on Welfare island and SIO,OOO worth of priceless publicity. a a VISITING royalty seldom got more attention than Mae West got during her brief sojourn in the “gow” at Welfare island. Interviews, pictures, magazine articles on her experiences, "color” for new plays, and a swell time were had by all, especially by Mae. When the ten days were up, the author-produeer-star was full of new plays and plans. Purified by this ordeal of punishment for her histrionic sins, Mae West w r as ready to go on to the triumph that was to make “Diamond Lil” a national heroine and Lil's regal figure a beacon of hope alike for the declining corset industry and the woman who never could stay on a diet. NEXT Anew feminine ideal appears, and what Mae West thinks it will mean to women.
