It Seems to Me By Heywood Broun A YOUNG man on the New Yorker <all members of the staff except Harold Ross are very young) wrote a brief essay in which he said that 1933 would be remembered as the year in which a midget sat in Morgans lap. Nineteen-thirty-four is even younger than the young men of the New Yorker and yet already I would nominate it as the year in which a sea serpent was seen in Loch Ness. It isn't that the serpent in his. or her, own right seems to me particularly impressive. The last eye witness said no more than that

the monster was fifteen or twenty feet long, created quite a splash when he jumped into the lake and left a wash behind him. This is less than startling. I am five or six feet long myself. When I jump into a lake I believe there is quite a splash and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that I leave a wash behind me. The serpent is. from even the most emotional accounts, a minor monster. In his late escapade he dashed across the road and dived to the bottom of the loch merely because a young Scottish civil engineer came roaring toward him on a motorcycle. If this beast of the glen

proves to be an authentic antediluvian it still is manifest that he can t take life as it has been developed by creatures in the higher evolutionary brackets. a a a A Serpent and a Symbol BUT whether he exists in the flesh or merely in the minds of romantic clan, that old serpent has symbolic importance. It seems to me that he stands as a sign and a portent that in the year 1934 almost anything can happen. Nineteen-thirty-four was also the year in which Mark Sullivan saw the revolution. ‘ The public at the time.” he wrote in describing the insidious plans of the Roosevelt administration, ‘‘sees only the first step; experts foresee that the first step makes the second inevitable —and also the third and fourth and so on until tne revolution is complete.” I am less interested and impressed by this prediction of immediate upheaval than I am by Mr. Sulliva > suggestion that there exist experts in revolui.on who can foretell the coming storm by the pricking of their thumbs. I wish that Mark had set forth a list of the wise men who already can envisage the coming of the great day. In all logic Mr. Sullivan himself ought to be named as one of the men whose pores are sensitive to the coming storm. Upon numerous occasions within the last few weeks he has called attention to the machinations of Rexford Guy Tugwell and other members of the brain trust gang. , Yet in all friendliness I must confess that I challenge the seismographic efficiency of Sullivan. There is such a thing as an instrument's being too delicate for its own good or for the service of any other person The famous needle at Georgetown, w'hich leaps about in ecstasy at a slight commotion on the floor of the Pacific many thousand of miles away, w-ould still be less than a scientific instrument were it to make dots and dashes each time Jennie, the dancing elephant, stepped out on a vaudeville stage. a a a A Tendency to See Red MARK SULLIVAN, as a charter member of the Herbert Hoover medicine ball cabinet, learned. I am afraid, to see upheaval in everything. Behind each rock and bush and Democratic measure there crouched a red, in the suspicious eyes of President Hoover In the eyes of that stalwart chief executive the decline and fall of Andy Mellon was equivalent to cirrhosis of the Constitution. And I rather suspect that the great engineer was shocked and surprised when his own defeat failed to bring with it comet, northern lights and the rending of the temple veil asunder. . And so I think that Mark Sullivan is not qualified to be one of those experts in revolution whom he mentions. He is no more than a supersensitivo and nostalgic newspaper man. To him any piece of legislation which does not contain the name of Herbert Hoover blown in the bottle is in some way both Bolshevik and bootleg. (Copvright. 1934. bv The Times'

Today’s Science - BY DAVID DIETZ —~

NOW is the best time of the year to get acquainted with two famous star clusters, if you do not know them already, the Pleiades and the Hvades. Both will be found in the constellation of Taurus the bull, which with mighty Orion constitutes the chief glory of the night skies of winter. Both are high in the skies these nights. Orion to the south. Taurus slightly higher in the sky and a little more to the east. In ancient mytnolog\, Orion is the mighty hunter who with upraised club rushes to meet the charging bull. Orion is quickly identified by the diagonal row of three stars which form the hunter’s belt, the three stars below which form his sword, and the bright star above the belt, Betelgeuse, which locates his shoulder. / . Five bright stars, arranged in ft letter V inclined to the left, compose the Hvades. The "V is easily found since it begins with a bright star. Aldebaran. the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus. The Hvades outline the face of the bull, Aldebaran constituting his right eye. The Pleiades will be found to the right of the Hvades and a little higher in the sky. They are located approximately in the bull's shouldei. Six fairly bright stars, huddled together in a circle about twice the diameter of the full moon, constitutes the Pleiades. Their arrangement is much like a miniature copy of the Big Dipper and for this reason the group is sometimes, although quite wrongly, called the Little Dipper. From earliest times, these two groups of stars, particularly the Pleiades, have held the attention of mankind They are still of the utmost inteiest to astronomers but for different reasons. Astronomers are interested in them because of the many important problems connected with the subject of star clusters. . No group of stars has excited such universal interest as have the Pleiades. This little sparkling, shimmering group of stars has exerted a fascination for the peoples of all lands and times. They played an important part in most of the primitive religious cults. mm* MARTHA EVANS MARTIN, well-known astronomical writer, says of them: The magic of their quivering misty light has always made a strong appeal to men of imagination. Minstrels and poets of the early days sang of their bewitchment and beauty, and many of the great poets from Homer and the author of Job down to Tennyson and the men of our own day have had their fancy livened by them and in one form or anothei have celebrated their sweetness and mystery and charm.” If you look closely at the* Pleiades, however, you will notice one or more f aint stars associated with them. Just how many you can see is a test of your sight. Some astronomers say it is also a test of your imagination and your ability to stick to the truth. At any rate, some persons say that they can see four or five such faint stars. A pair of opera glasses will reveal more and with a good pair of prism binoculars the number becomes still greater. A small telescope will reveal fifty or more stars in the group and a large elescope reveals several hundred. The telescope also reveals that the stars are Intertwined with a great amount of hazy, cloudy, nebulous material. Photographs of the region of the Pleiades taken with modern telescopes, reveal more than 2,000 stars in this region. The great majority of these, however, are merely the background of faint stars against which the cluster of the Pleiades themselves is seen. A

ThU 1* the twenty-sixth of The Indianapolis Times popular series of thirty articles about the members of its editor ial staff. Today’s article is about Lefty Lee. a a a a a a BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Times News Editor “T EFTY LEE" is not just a bowling editor who sits in a nice com--L / sortable seat and watches other people knock down ten-pins. Neither is “Lefty Lee” a fishing editor who merely listens to fishing tales told by other people. Mr. Lee Faust —yes, that’s his name—can knock down the ten-pins in his own right as well as anybody in Indianapolis and he can tell some pretty tall fish stories on his owm hook. ‘‘Lefty Lee,” in other words, is a gentleman who practices what he preaches. The picture accompanying this article was taken three w-eeks ago, just before Mr. Faust was taken to a local hospital and operated upon He was moved to his home Saturday and expects to be on his feet in ten days. And still he’s grieving. “Just think,” he wails to his friends over the telephone. “I can’t pick up a bowling ball for the rest of the season. It’s awful.”

You'd think the world had come to an end. But the other side of the story is Mrs. Faust’s smile of satisfaction, not only at her husband recovering rapidly, but at having him home. “You see,” she explains, “in the fall and winter, I’m a bowling and hunting widow, and in the summer a fishing widow. I have it all over those golf widows. They don’t know what having a sportsminded husband really is.” a a a T EE FAUST—he's 43 now—is not only a crack bowler, but a sportsman with a practical joking side. In 1929, just after the completion of the Pritchett alleys, Lefty made a visit to try out the hardwood. Jess Pritchett had left for the ball game at Washington park and Lefty warmed up by himself with a small crowd watching. He got his bearings and cut loose. He rolled a “300”—a perfect game—the first over Mr. Pritchett’s new alleys. “Where’s Jess?” asked Lefty* “At the ball park,” someone answered. So out to the ball park went Mr. Faust, beaming wisely. At the park he hunted out Mr. Pritchett. “Say, jess,” said Lefty. “You ought to put up a prize for a perfect score down at your alleys. All the boys would come in and take a crack at it. Why don’t you?” “Sure,” said Mr. Pritchett. “I’ve already thought of it. I'm going to give 525 and a gold medal to the first fellow who rolls a ‘300.’ ” “Swell,” beamed Lefty. “Pay me, Jess. I just hit that marie right on the nose!” a a a LEE FAUST was born in Indianapolis in October, 1891. He went to Sacred Heart school and sold newspapers for the old Indianapolis Sun, predecessor to The

The Theatrical World Alice in Wonderland ’ to Open Feb. 16 at Apollo BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

PUT this date in your date book —Paramount’s movie version of “Alice In Wonderland,” opens at the Apollo, Friday, Feb. 16. This answers hundreds of letters, personal inquiries, and telephone calls regarding the definite date of the opening of this really great picture. Members of Parent-Teacher associations of this city, civic leaders, the motion picture committee of the Indianapolis Branch of the American Association of University Women, the Film Indorsers and hundreds of individuals are interested in this movie. Several groups are urging parents to read “Alice in Wonderland’’ and “Through the Looking Glass” to their children if they are not familiar with it. This movement is not only citywide, but national. It is most encouraging when a great literary achievement of more than seventy years of success behind it, receives the voluntary support that “Alice in Wonderland” is receiving. Too many exceptional stage and screen productions have not been enjoyed by sufficient people. Public interest in the better and worth-while productions of stage and screen will make possible the continuance of such productions as “Alice in Wonderland.” m m m 'T'O encourage interest in “AlA ice.” the motion picture committee of the local branch of the American Association of University Women has issued the following statement: "The motion picture committee of the Indianapolis branch of the American Association of University Women, after previewing Paramount’s ‘Alice in Wonderland' at a preliminary showing at the Paramount office, has unanimously recommended this picture, without reservations, as a real contribution to cinema art that deserves a cordial reception in Indianapolis. “The screen adaptation of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece of nonsense presented great problems to match great possibilities. First of all. ‘Alice in Wonderlnad' and ’Through the Looking Glass’ had to be telescoped into one script. “The chief problem in presenting these two stories w T as to interrelate their incidents so cleverly that they would flow into each other smoothly. The selection of picturesque and significant phases from the large mass of material required care. “The absurdities have all been tucked into the screen version in a vivid, delightful way that satisfies. not only children, but also adults for whom the mysterious, fantastic charm of Alice’ nas always held a real significance. •Moreover the producers have been truthful, adding no fictitious details in an effort to heighten the appeal. “Artist John Tenniel’s familiar characters have been faithfully copied and the audience is both entertained and startled to hear the voices of the most popu^r

Times. He holds the record for the mast sales at the Speedway—over 30,000 papers in one day! And all The Times! He joined the navy and served a six-year hitch. He was trained at Newport News and was a member of the crew of the battleship Missouri, one of the ships in the fleet which sailed around the world under “Fighting Bob” Evans. While helping place the battleship North Dakota in shape for the cruise, an explosion occurred and Lee received minor injuries. He recovered in time to make the trip around the world. The cruise took two years and seven months. Lee was scarcely out of the navy when the World war broke out. He enlisted in the army and served nineteen months in France. His service in the navy and the army built him a powerful physique which he has maintained since by active participation in bowling, hunting and fishing. He was bowling over in Pennsylvania when Jimmy Smith, now the world’s champion bowler, was setting up pins. a a a TTIS own individual fame as a sportsman and his “nose for news” have made his bowling, hunting and fishing columns the top-notch presentations of those divisions in Indiana and few of the ardent devotees of those three sports fail to read The Times. In the summer time he makes contacts wdth every game warden in the state and once a week turns over his daily column to reports on the fishing sport from the game wardens. His sense of humor never deserts him and he can always be depended upon to put somebody on the griddle during the week for some prize fish tale. “Fishing,” says Lefty, “is a great sport and of course it’s hard not to exaggerate a little bit. I’m

Lange, chairman of the committee, ‘but if your children are not familiar with Alice and the Mad Hatter and the Duchess, by all means read the stories again with them and then take them to see the picture. It will seem to them that the characters have literally come to life out of the printed pages.’ ” mam In City Theaters Tomorrow will be an interesting day in local theaters as several important events will take place. The Palace will offer its third stage show, Cotton Club Revue with Mills Blue Rhythm band and George Dewey Washington. On the screen will be “Eskimo.” The Circle tomorrow will have the world premier of “Good Dame.” with Sylvia Sidney and Frederic March in the cast. The Lyric tomorrow will feature June Pursell, singer, in the stage show. Tomorrow the Indiana offers its second double feature bill, “Six of a Kind,” and “Miss Fane’s Baby Is Stolen.” Theaters today offer: “The Passing Parade,” on the stage, and “Madame Spy” on the screen at the Lyric; Lum and Abner on the stage and “Convention City” ' on the screen at the Circle: “Carolina,” at the Apollo; “Hips, Hips, Hooray,’” and “Eight Girls in a Boat,” at the Indiana; “Gallant Lady,” at the Palace, and burlesque at the Mutual and Colonial.

HOME BUILDERS LAUD VAN NUYS AND LUDLOW City Men Return From Trip to Urge Mortgage Money. Senator Frederick Van Nuys and Representative Louis Ludlow were lauded last night for their efforts to obtain mortgage money through national legislation, at a meeting of the Indianapolis Home Builders’ Association last night. The praise was voiced by three home builders who went to Washington last week to attend a public hearing on a plan to have $3,000,000,000 in currency issued to aid distressed home owners and to revive the house construction industry. They were Thomas E. Grinslade, president; A. H. M. Graves and William Low Rice. BEER TAXES INDICATE JANUARY SALES GAIN Receipts for Last Two Weeks $2,000 Above Earlier Returns.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. —Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director of the mint, arrived the other evening at the White House reception, dressed in shell pink satin. Blithely, she swept past the uniformed doorman with a party of friends. “Hey, there, lady! You’re one card short,” that official suddenly called out. “Oh, dear!!” gasped the glamorous Nellie. “I forgot my card.”

“Then you’ll have to sign in the book,” said the doorman. “But that’s Mrs. Ross,” friends protested. “I don’t care who she is,” insisted the doorman. “She’ll have to sign in the book.” So Nellie signed. a a u MRS.

his hands stuck in the pockets of his dinner jacket, uttering witticisms and laughing. Crowds surged after him, elbowing White House aids aside as they tried to catch some of the funny things he was saying. Alice Longworth, in slate blue velvet and wearing long gold earrings that looked like inverted candle extinguishers, came snaking across the hall. Gallantly, Will Rogers bent over and kissed her hand. Alice turned and looked over his shoulder at a group of newspaper women who were making notes. “There, press!” she exclaimed, laughing. Note—Secretary of State Hull was in hysterics over Will Rogers’ jokes. He hasn’t enjoyed a good laugh since he returned from Montevideo. Rogers brought up his wife, dressed in black velvet, and his attractive blond daughter, and introduced them to the secretary, Then the foursome enjoyed a laugh together. General hugh Johnson was among those present, accompanied by Mrs. Johnson and his assistant, Miss Frances Robinson. Robbie was wearing silver brocade and she and the general stood chatting nonchalantly together—a conspicuous pair in the center of a room full of ogling guests. Benevolent governor PAUL PEARSON of the Virgin islands moved serenely among the crowds in the red room. “I think I should have worn my full dress uniform for this occasion,” he remarked to a friend. “I didn’t know you had a full dress uniform, Governor,” said the other in surprise. “Oh, yes,” replied his excellency. “Its a white evening dress suit—the kind that Mark Twain used to wear.’

Entered as Seeond-Cla** Matter at Fostofflce. Indianapolis

Fair Enough By Westbrook Pegler ONE matter which must affect the thoughts of the man who puts in his twelve hours a day, or night, slamming a hack through the New York traffic for less than S2O a week to keep his family going, is his constant proximity to people who stand from SI,OOO to SIOO,OOO on the hoof, counting jewels and furs, and who are able to frivol away on one meal, with wine, enough money to keep his wife and kids in quarters, rations and clothing for a

week or even a month. The waiters who are out on strike against some of the Park avenue hotels would not be human if they did not toy with the same idea now and again as they serve the caviar, rlthough the waiter would seem to me to have a much better time of it, when he works, than the man who drives a hack. The waiter works indoors where the management, as a matter of business, maintains a pleasant temperature, and there is no way to prevent his seeing the cut flowers on the tables, put there for the delectation of the customers, or hearing the music, provided at great expense, for the same purpose.

He may have an occasional souse or naturalborn whiner to deal with and such occasions no doubt impose a great strain on his self-respect as his manhood prompts him to rip off his apron and let one fly and damn the consequences. But on the whole the waiter works under orderly and polite conditions and, in any discussion of his wages, it must always be kept in mind that waiters are very secretive and rarely tell any one how much they make, including tips. tt n tt The Tipoff on Tips T NEVER quite believed the old Sunday supplement stories which asked me to believe that New York waiters in first class places not only got no pay but actually bought their appointments for as much as SI,OOO payable to the management or the captain in weekly installments, and still were able to get wealthy on their tips alone. But I am sure that they get much bigger tips than the hackmen because the hackman’s standard tip is about a dime for a short haul, whereas any man who left a dime for a waiter in the Waldorf, the Fark Lane, or any such place, would be a ball player, and a ball player wouldn’t frequent such hotels. The United States internal revenue once cupped an ear to the story that waiters made adult sums of money and sent some agents around to the old Waldorf Astoria to see if there was any taxable income which was not being reported according to law. The waiters with the best pasts were called into a room, one at a time, and questioned, but the best the revenue agents could get out of them was that some days they made a little money, some days more and, on very good days, quite a lot. But as to whether their tips amounted to $2 a day or $5 or $25 the waiters would only say “sometimes” and the inquiry was a total loss to the United States treasury. Even so, I can understand that a waiter, serving caviai at $2.25 a spoonful, followed by English sole in casserole with grapes, at $2.25 a copy, and the small tenderloin at $2.25, and so forth, not forgetting one or more quarts of wine at $lO, might fall to thinking that if things are like that with some people in these days then things ought to be at least a little better with him. a a a It's Different With Taxi Drivers TIUT the extremes meet when a hack driven by a -LJ man who has to keep grinding twelve hours a day in heavy traffic, harassed by necessity and traffic cops, picks up a job which has just laid down for dinner as much as the driver can hope to make in a week, and carries it a few blocks to collect 35 cents on his meter and maybe a dime and rarely a quarter over the top. He is out among the weather which may be neighboring zero and he may have a bad cold getting along toward bronchitis or pneumonia. The hackman does not live in a garden apartment and the conditions at home, on S2O a week or less, are likely to be such that the glint of diamonds and the sight of mink and sable in the back of his cab, will set him to wondering and feeling very sorry for his wife and children and himself. I don not need tell that the people who send their money in by the hunk in New York, even though they spend it on pleasure and selfishness, at least are keeping money in action and that that is a better way to do than to tie it up in ribbon and lock it in a box. But I am dealing with a reality of life in the spendingest city on earth and the hackman would be very dumb if he didn’t see the contrast between himself and the people in the back seat, both nicely awash and wine, who are going to give him maybe as much as the price of two bottles of milk if he drives very carefully. It is a good thing that the miners and steel workers, when they have their strikes, have them out in mean, bleak surroundings where the best the menu offers at the elite coffee pot is T-bone steak, 25 cents. They are rough, impulsive people and they might get very rough and impulsive if they were in the position of the New York hackman. (CoDvrleht. 1934. bv United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

ONE of the mysteries relating to your health is the operation of the gall bladder. This organ lies on the lower surface of the liver, on the right side of your body. It -contains bile or gall, which comes to it from the liver, and it distributes this material into the intestines. Apparently, various substances are taken out of the gall bladder by the blood, including water, some calcium, bile salts, and pigments. Bacteria may get from the gall bladder into the blood or from the blood into the gall bladder. Dye substances have been discovered which, when injected into the body, get into the gall bladder and permit the taking of X-ray pictures which show the presence of stones. m u n WHEN the bile comes from the liver, it is concentrated by the gall bladder, the water and some of the salts being absorbed. At various intervals the gall bladder contracts and empties its contents into a tube, and through this tube into the intestines. During these contractions of the gall bladder, any stones that are present may be observed to move. Obviously, the contraction of the gall bladder might cause a stone to move into the tube. If, then, the stone can not pass through, great pain results, sometimes with secondary inflammation and infection, leading eventually to operation on the gall bladder. If the material collects in tho gall bladder and can not get out, great pressure within the gall bladder occurs, and this also causes severe pain. a u a THE taking of certain food substances, and indeed various emotional factors, at times may cause evacuation of the gall bladder. This is particularly the case when taking fats. When fats are given by mouth or by tube directly into the bowel, the gall bladder is evacuated. This is peculiarly a function of the fat rather than of the oil, since olive oil will produce this reaction, but liquid petrolatum or mineral oil will not. Surgical operation has established the fact thal it is possible to get along without a gall bladder, and in many instances this operation has been dona for the relief of inflammation, the presence of stones, or similar causes.
