—Let’s Go Fishing— DRIVE AGAINST POLLUTION WILL DRAW HUNTERS Mineral Oil Is Destructive to Fish and Fowls; Destroys Plants. BY LEFTY LEE Tlnn FUbinc Editor Hunters, especially duck hunters, should become interested actively in the fight that is being waged to stop pollution of the streams; and in fact the whole North American continent, as this condition is one of the chief reasons that the waterfowl, so plentiful a few years ago, now have become near extinct. Conservation officials of both the United States and Canada are becoming alarmed, and justly so, as the areas that formerly held millions of birds practically are rare this year. The More Game Birds in America, a foundation, just has issued a bulletin that covers this subject completely. Pollution of waters is exceedingly harmful to our shore birds, fish and their food food plants. Os the various polluting materials mineral oil is the most destructive, as it means sure death to the birds that become coated with it. Such birds are unable to fly and die from exposure or starvation. Floating on the surface of the water, or coating shores, oil renders the affected areas incapable of sustaining life, partly by contaminating food and partly by interfering with the supply of oxygen necessary for life. Small quantities of mineral oil n~e sufficient to destroy plants, numerous creatures and their eggs by mere contact. Mineral oil is not dilutable in water, on which it spreads to a thin slim until particles of dust or other polluting matter cause it to sink, thereby extending its harmful effects to fish, oysters, clams and other water foods. It also constitutes a serious fire hazard in rivers, harbors and small bodies of water. The complete story that is very interesting to all lovers of the outdoor sports, is too long to reproduce here, but the chief reason this evil continues is the lack of adequate laws, and their enforcement. That is the reason that pollution must be battled from the individual standpoint, as in this way only is there a remedy, and that is civil suits, that will make the pollution or streams more costly to the polluter than the building of plants that will render polluting material harmless. Several years ago tnis city was treated to the rare sight of watching a creek burn. Some boys were playing along Pleasant Run, and tossed some flaming matches in the creek that was oil-covered. The dense smoke from the Are that resulted forced people living in ’hat vicinity to call on the fire department to extinguish it. Here we have Pee Wee Van Horn’s new fish story. Van Horn hit the river near Broad Ripple early Monday and caught five nice crappie. When it came time to return home, Van Horn stopped fishing and proceeded to dress the fish so they would be ready for the skillet on his arrival- After finishing the second fish he looked for the first one cleaned, and thought that spooks were around, until he happened to look up and see a cat walking off with part of his breakfast. The Blinn-Mathews feud that has held the attention of the boys from the Bell Telephone Company must be settled in Indiana waters, as their trip to Canadian waters left the result, as to which one is best a draw, as the fish in that country were so thick that they would bite on any bait and at any time, according to Blinn, w’ho tells of a wonderful catch of great northern pike, wall eye pike and bass. The largest bass taken was a five-pound-er, that was landed by Blinn. Trolling was the favorite method, in this country, and the Hildebrand No. 2 spinner with a ball of red worms trailing, the favorite bait. Carl Roberts, a barber at 2115 West Washington street, spent a week along the Cumberland river, ten miles from Nashville, Tenn., and landed some of the big fish that live in the sunny south. Robert's prize was a twenty-six pound yellow cat. His total catch weighed seven-ty-five pounds, and consisted of catfish and buffalo. Bob Reagan Sr.. Bob McDuff and Harry Ryan found the crappie biting at Frank's lodge, at the mouth of the Monon and the Tippecanoe river, and returned with a dandy string, and in addition, had all the fish they wanted to eat during their stay. The black bass were not hitting so well, but they managed to land one of these beauties.

Charity Baseball Teams Go in for Skullduggery

City Hall and Courthouse Players Spying Cuts Down Practice. Grand jury’ investigation of the annual city hall-courthouse employes’ championship baseball game next Sunday loomed today, with each team charging the other with skullduggery. The charges and counter-charges reached a climax today with Johnny Noonan, city hall team manager, accusing the courthouse gang of plotting to kidnap him until after the game. “Sweety” Scanlon, courthouse manager, countered with the charge of “professionalism” against the city haliers, accusing Noonan of secretly employing Ownie Bush. Cincinnati Reds' manager, to coach his team. Noonan returned the compliment by charging he was informed Chuck Klein of the Athletics secretly is coaching the courthouse team. Neutral observers commented that each team was spending so much time trying to discover where the other team was holding its secret practice that neither has had an opportunity for practice yet. The encounter is to be held at Perry stadium. Proceeds from the ticket sale will be used to help defray expenses of the city hall-court-house employes’ soup kitchen. A process for extracting oil from soy beans, using alcohol as a solvent. has been perfected.

Rose Will Bring His New Revue to the Indiana Anita Page, Movie Player, Heads Cast of 1933 Edition of ‘Crazy Quilt’ Due Here Soon. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN BILLY ROSE, who earned his laurels as a successful theatrical producer last year when he produced "Crazy Quilt,” brings his new edition of that musical extravaganza to the Indiana theater stage for a week commencing Friday, Sept. 29. As it appears from all advance reports of Producer Rose's plans, he is making the first serious attempt of recent years, at least, to offer a revue, or musical extravaganza, as he seems to prefer to call it, of Broadway quality at really popular prices. And the prices should be popular, for they are what the theater charges for its regular picture and vaudeville bills.

Os course, we have seen musical tabloids or condensed versions of the big Broadway and road show musical hits, but heretofore they have not made their appearance in such form until they had traveled-far and no longer were profitable at socalled “legitimate” theater prices. Now along comes the youthful Rose with an all new edition of “Crazy Quilt,” built to run an hour or more along with a feature picture. And probably his best recommendation is the staff of experts in the metropolitan production field that he has gathered around him to create and stage his revue. John Murray Anderson cf “Greenwich Village Follies” fame, and more recently producer of stage shows at the new Radio City music hall in New York, was signed to stage the entire production. Clark Robinson, who was Roxy’s “right hand” technical man for years, was commissioned to design anew set of scenery; Colden Weld, the well-known theatrical costume designer was called in on that end and Chester Hale was engaged to stage the dance ensembles. With this set-up as a technical staff Billy Rose sent to Hollywood for Anita Page to head his cast. -She is one of the few younger stars who never hopped about the country in personal appearance tours. For comedy Rose signed Smith and Dale, original members of the Avon Comedy Four. He engaged Charie King, Broadway musical comedy star, to introduce a trio of the producer’s own latest sorgs and got Ann Pennington, of Ziegfeld Follies fame, to lead the dancing numbers. Last year it will be remembered that Rose wrote into his show such musical hits as “I Found a Million-Dollar Baby in a Five and Ten Cent Store,” “Cheerful Little Earful" and “Would You Like to Take a Walk.” This year his three new songs are “I Want to Be Loved.” “The Wiggle of the World” and “If You Believed in Me.” On the surface it looks like a real Broadway hook-up. It would have i been difficult to gather for one full

length show so many elements of successful showmanship. Rose has spent the whole summer getting his people and show together and seems to have gone about it in the same familiar manner that brought success and fame to Florenz Ziegfeld. The same show, it played in “legitimate” theaters, would have to sell for at least $3 a seat. The huge capacities of the de luxe picture theater plus the regular schedule of several shows a day makes possible a patronage of several times the size of that which could crowd into the regular “road show” theaters. Hence a theatrical producer can get as much money for his attraction in the large picture theaters and the public is the winner. With these facts in mind. Billy Rose seems to have embarked on a popular course, and if he lives up to his loudly heralded claims he might easily start the so-called “new era in show business.” At least we will have an opportunity of judging his initial efforts in that direction when he brings the first of his projected series to the Indiana stage for a week. Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Doctor Bull” at the Apollo, “The Little Giant” at Keith’s, “Another Language” at the Ambassador, “Tarzan, The Fearless” at the Circle, Three Diamond Boys on the stage and “This Day and Age” on the screen at the Indiana, "Penthouse” at the Palace and burlesque at the Mutual and Colonial. Neighborhood theaters today offer: “Gigolettes of Paris” at the Tuxedo; “Whoopee” at the Uptown; “The Past of Mary Holmes" at the Tacoma; “Bed of Roses” at the St. Clair; “Emergency Call” at the Oriental; “Ex-Lady” at the Strand; “Red Haired Alibi” at the Garfield; “Emergency Call” at the Parker; “Heroes for Sale” at the Irving; “Hold Your Man” at the Emerson; "Supernatural” at the Garrick; “The King Murder” at the Stratford; “Double Harness" at the Hamilton; “Return of Casey Jones” at the Belmont; “Melody Cruise" at the Princess; “Adorable” at the Daisy; “Broadway Mad" at the Rex; "Melody Cruise" at the Sanders, and, “Warrior's Husband” at the Fountain Square.

—Dietz on Science — GROUP PRACTICE OF MEDICINE IS MODERN TREND Advantages Are Claimed in Co-Ordination of Medical Skill. BY DAVID DIETZ Scripps-Howard Science Editor Group activity or “organization” by medical men themselves constitutes the greatest step which has been made so far to provide increased medical care at lower costs. This is the opinion of Dr. Willard C. Stoner, director of the medical division of St. Luke's hospital of Cleveland, who set forth his view at the annual meeting of the American Protestant Hospital Association this week in Milwaukee. This results in conservation of the time of the medical practitioner, the maximum use of medical facilities, and provides service on such financial terms that patients are encouraged to obtain care in the early stages of illness, reducing the number of difficult cases. Dr Stoner believes. Points Ont Objection “To procure such a. form of operation in its ideal state, several doctors of various types, general practitioners as well as specialists, form a group placing all their knowledge and skill at the disposal of the other members of the group in handling any one patient," he says. "Each member benefits by the findings of his fellows and the patient is assured of adequate, complete care. “The chief objections to this form of practice are lack of personal responsibility, a depersonalizing of medicine, a tendency to treat the human organism as a sack of salt, a tendency to divorce the mind from the body, and commercialism. “The most successful groups are affiliated with hospitals, making it possible for the same group to be responsible for the patient in home, in office, or in hospital to avoid unnecessary passing around of the case, which tends to increase both cost and time wasted. Confusion Is Reduced Group practice of medicine, in the opinion of Dr. Stoner, succeeds in reducing a type of confusion which now is prevalent and which is described in the following terms in the “Report on the Costs of Medical Care.” “The fact, that medical care now can be obtained through an increasing variety of practitioners and agencies tends to create a lack of continuity in the medical care of the individual. During the course of a j single year, he may receive from several different specialists services which are not co-ordinated by a family physician. “If he goes to a hospital, he may pass under the care of a physician who was not previously acquainted with his case, and on his discharge from the hospital, the information concerning his hospital diagnosis and treatment may not be available for the physician or clinic which becomes responsible for his subsedent care,” Dr. Stoner says.
