FOR SUPPORT
“Regimented” Propaganda Is
Modern Idea.
by Vance Wynn
BEBBSSUni
“So Perish Ail Traitors ’
ultra unic
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Established Order Bolstered
by Intellectuals.
No conscientious student of tot-
ters has been inclined to rake too
seriously the alarm that has boon
:et» over the future of literature in
Russia s proletarian state: After ail,
It was only a natural part of the rev-
olution that tl»e intellectuals should
have been regimented” lor propa-
ganda purposes.
History Shows that it is the part
of the intellectuals during stability
to support the established order and
when that order becomes insupport-
able to express, in varying ways, the
intellectual ferment that' precedes all
fundamental shifts in political pow-
er Thus the writers In Russia long
ago became revolutionary propagan-
dists. And when the revolution came
they extolled the new regime more
blatantly, but not less effectively,
than the writers In a capitalistic
state bend their art toward support
of the homely virtues whence cap-
italism draws Its strength.
Writers know this. Somerset
Maugham, in the preface to “East
and West,” takes pains to inform his
readers that the editor of the maga-
zine where his stories mostly ap-
peared never told him what to write
or what not to write. If it were
not at least suspected that writers
are ‘‘regimented” under whatever
political system, such declarations
of Independence would be superflu-
ous. But there are degrees of regi-
mentation, as of everything else.
During « revolution the subtle con-
cealment of propaganda under «
layer of art disappears and the
skilled writer becomes as unscrupu-
lous as any hack publicity agent.
That is what happened in Russia,
when, in the phrase of Max East-
man. the artists were put in uniform.
The Russian revolution is now an
accomplished fact. The need for ob-
vious propaganda lessens. The die-
hards may still believe that there is
an unlimited distinction between true
proletarian writers and bourgeois in-
tellectuals. But Karl Rndek. one of
Communism’s most powerful think-
ers. realizes that undiluted propa-
ganda may eventually defeat its own
ends. At a congress of all-Soviet
writers in Moscow, Radek said that
the bars must be let. down and that
the oid theory of “he who is not
with us is against us” would no
longer rule In the arts.
And so it may soon be that the
writers of Russia will lay aside their
uniforms and the Russian artists in
multi will find new means for expres-
sion. Out. of the chaos of revolution
may appear the needed security
which is the basis of all art. At the
same time it may he well to specu-
late on the theory that the reason
why literature has so lagged In the
years of America is because of
its “regimentation” under such ban-
ners as Puritanism and Materialism.
The growing determination of our
writers to work under different
standards and to talk openly of the
place of propaganda in art is ns sig-
nificant as Rade.k’s movement in the
opposite direction.—Washington Post.
Sea Collisions Minimized
Tlie danger of collisions at sea on
foggy nights can now be minimized

cathode ray device which Is oper-
ated by the radio signals sent out by
other ships every twenty seconds.

Why
Lipid Laxatives
Bad in Favor
Phe public is fast returning to the use
>f liquid laxatives. People have
earned that the right dose of a
iroperiy prepared liquid laxative will
)ring a more natural movement with-
mt any discomfort at the time, or
tfier.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
aried to suit the needs of the in-
lividual. The action can thus be
egulated. A child is easily given the
igbt dose. And mild liquid laxatives
lo not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
enna is a natural laxative. It does
ot drain the system like the cathar-
ics that leave you so thirsty. Dr.
Tidwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
jxative which relies on senna for its
jxative action. It gently helps the
verage person’s constipated bowels
ntil nature restores their regularity.
You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s
yrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready

#T'HE two young men who registered
A at tiie Southern hotel, in St. Louis,
many years ago. were well dressed
and looked prosperous.
Also they seemed to he devoted
friends.
Charles A. Broiler and Walter I,.
Maxwell were tile names they in-
scribed on the hook, and it later de-
veloped that they were Englishmen,
having come from Liverpool to Boston
and thence to St. Louis.
At all events they were inseparable
companions, and their mutual devotion
attracted the attention of the other
guests of the house.
Maxwell left the hotel first, sayiii”
that his friend intended staying a few
days longer.
Also he suggested that he had some
work to do in his room and did not
want to be disturbed.
That was all very well, hut when
I relief failed to make his appearance
after two days the management of the
house thought it was time to invest!-
gate. .
There was no response to the fcnn~k
un nis room door and it had to be
forced,
There was a trunk in the corner of
the apartment.
It was opened anri in it was found
the dead body of Charles A. Preller.
His mustache had been removed,
probably to change his appearance,
and on his clothing was pinned a sheet
of paper on which was written:
“So perish all traitors to the great
cause.”
The first and most natural move on
the part of the detectives was to try
and find the former companion of the
dead man.
There was no special reason tui sus-
pecting that he had killed the friend
to whom he seemed so devoted, but
there was every reason for supposing
that he might throw some tight on the
tragedy.
Did the two men belong to some se-
cret society?
Were they being pursued bv aveng-
ers? -
It was not easy to get on the track
of Maxwell, but it was eventually
learned that he had gone to San Fran-
cisco.
The chief of police of that city
worked in unison vvith the chief of
police of St. Louis.
In a few days he was able to report
that a man who looked very much like
the description of Maxwell had been
seen in the smoking room of the Pal-
ace hotel.
Inquiry showed that this man had
registered as T. C. IVAuger, of Paris.
He talked with a French accent, al-
though one day, in answering a ques-
tion suddenly asked by another guest,
he spoke perfect English.
Just when the police were planning
to place him under arrest he left San
Francisco for New Zealand.
He was captured there, but resisted
extradition.
He seemed to have plenty of money
and legal advice, hut eventually the
papers we're signed by President Cleve-
land and i.he suspect was brought back
to St. Louis.
For up to tlie time there was no
convincing legal proof that he bad
killed Preller.
He denied the charge vehemently
and defied the authorities.
But the police got to work and in
the course of time they proved a num-
ber of things.
First it, was shown that the hand-
writing on the note which was pinned
to the clothing of the corpse in the
trunk was that of Maxwell.
It corresponded exactly with the sig- j
nature lie had placed on the hotel reg- I
ister.
That demolished .the theory that
Preller had been the victim of the ven-
geance of some secret society. Ir was
simply an Ingenious idea of Maxwell
to send the police on a false scent.
Secondly, they proved that Maxwell
had gone to a barber shop after leav-
ing the Southern hotel and had his
beard taken off. and that after it had
been done he turned to the barber and
said:
“Do you think any one would recog-
nize me now?”
Thirdly, they proved that he had
purchased the trunk in which the body
was found.
They produced the porter who had
carried it to his room, and they had
evidence that he displayed a big roll
of fcundred-dollar hills shortly after
leaving the hotel.
This furnished the motive for the
crime—tlie cold-blooded, calculated rob-
bery of the man who had been his
generous friend.
At the trial iie was confronted by
the druggist from whom lie had pur-
chased tlie chloroform which he had
used to overcome Preller before mur-
dering him.
There were no mitigating circum-
stances whatever, and the jury ren-
dered a verdict of murder in the first
degree.

OUI'I S are the foremost, message for
^ fall. The keynote to the suit mode
is sounded in two words, variety and
labric. Which is to say that every
tyi»e of suit or ensemble is represented
that fancy may picture with emphasis*
placed on the handsomeness and nov-
elty of the materials employed.
ihe new suit and tailored ensembles
are that varied they include styles in
every mood and tempo*featuring coats,,
and jackets all the way from seven-
eighth to waistlength. As to silhou-
ette they go from one extreme to an-
other, from loose swagger styles to the
n< *R and trim flared front basques
which Schiaparelli creates so success-
fully, to which add all the variations
between that key to individual pref-
erence. As to modish suit skirts they
are straight and narrow, often slit at
the hemline.
Speaking of materials, the tailored
ensembles In the picture tell a story
of high-style, quality-kind fabrics most
eloquently. For street, campus or gen-
eral daytime wear throughout autumn,
these plalded and checked taiileurs are
correct and smart to the Nth degree.
So far as their rich vibrant color
schemes are concerned they blend into
the autumn landscape superbly.
Each of these models is fashioned
of a soft-textured lightweight rabbit,
woolen fabric, which while it looks the
part of luxury is in reality quite mod-
erately priced. The fine fur woven in-
to these suitings gives extra warmth
for chilly days, which together with
their attractive appearance make these
weaves of pronounced appeal to fash-
ion-wise seekers of superior materials.
At the right, in the picture, one of
the new monotone shadow plaids In
carioca red is used on the diagonal
for the skirt of the one-piece frock and
on vertical lines for the three-quarter
coat. The bias sleeves correspond to
the skirt treatment. A full scarf of
brown velveteen lined with crepe in the
red shade of the suit together with a
belt in the same brown velvet lends
smart contrast.
At the left, a coat cut with mannish
lapels is made of a broken-checked rab
bit woolen in old gold and brown, the
same topping a gown of the identical
material. The frock has a high turn
down collar and a knotted tie of self-
fabric. The rather wide belt is in
brown leather with large decorative
buckle.
One of the interesting highlights In
the street and sports realm is what is
referred to as the “purpose” suit. The
idea is to assemble all of the same ma-
terial, a jacket suit plus a full-length
topcoat sometimes adding a fourth
piece, perhaps one of the new jacket
blouses or a shirtwaist effect with but-
tons down the front. Herein is con-
stituted an entire wardrobe for day-
time wear.
A vogue which is much in evidence
this fall is the gay novelty-plaided or
checked skirt which is worn with a
dark solid colored top. The brown and
yellow check which fashions the cos-
tume to the left would make up strik-
ingly in one of the very new narrow,
slim and slit-at-the-hemline skirts. Top
this with a swanky brown velveteen or
corduroy jacket-blouse (newer than a
tuck-in) and this twosome will rank
among the smartest of the season.

MODISTES TAKE TO
SCHOOLGIRL STYLES
“ That simple little shirtwaist dress”
may appear this season in anything
from satin to sequins.
The knowing designers have discov-
ered that it’s highly amusing to pre-
sent innocent, schoolgirlish styles ir
the most sophisticated and luxurious
fabrics.
And women have discovered that
their vampire voltage goes, up at least
100 per cent when they wear seem-
ingly ingenuous frocks in wicked ma-
terials.
It’s the old principle of the exces-
sively feminine girl who knows that
her dimpled charms are heightened to
the masculine eye by severely tailored
lines. She is completely aware that
her attempt at mannish clothes merely
makes the obtuse male chuckle.
Satin With Feather Capes
Will Be Worn This Autumn
i o rrevent Dental 1 rouble
Teeth Preservation Most Important Matter, With Con
niunities as Well as Individuals; Example of
What Has Been Accomplished.
■Ly DR, J. M. WISAN, Chairman,
Council on Mouth Hygiene, New
Jersey State Dental Society.
A report emanating from the White
House conference on child health
held last year, includes the following
statement.: “Dental disease is pre-
ventable. It is our duty to prevent
it.” A broad statement but never-
theless one that is consistent with
the facts.
As individuals, we can eat the
proper foods, keep our mouths clean,
and obtain necessary dental care. In
this way, we can not only prevent
many dental defects, but also pre-
vent whatever defects do present
themselves from developing into
pathological or diseased conditions.
As communities, we can disseminate
information that .will help our chil-
dren grow up with healthy mouths.
We can teach adults how to care
for their teeth and their children’s
teeth. Also, the communities can
provide dental treatment for iHdi-
gent's.
Many people fear that dental dis-
ease cannot be prevented. Most
dental authorities, however, take tlie
position that at least 90 per cent of
our dental troubles can be prevented.
Giving children adequate dietaries,
which should include a quart of milk
a day per child, vegetables, unsweet-
ened fruits, will help to provide the
elements to build sound teeth. At-
tention to the teeth every three
months is necessary if we are to pro-
tect the child’s teeth. All irregulari-
ties should be remedied. Children
should he taught tlie value of keep-
ing their mouths clean. The reader
may say that this is pure theory, yet
whenever these practices have been
made a habit with children, we find
them growing up with all teeth pres-
ent and in* a healthy state.
I am familiar with a group of
children in a rural town, Clark town-
ship, New Jersey, where an inten-
sive dental health program has been
fallowed for the last five years. Dur-
ing the first year of the program It
was necessary to extract 124 per-
manent tdeth among the 312 chil-
dren in attendance in that school.
This year, it was only necessary to
extract four permanent teeth among
these children. What is more sig-
nificant—the teeth that were extract-
ed, with the exception of one, we'
done for children who had recent
moved into town and who had n<
had the benefit of the dental pr
gram carried on in that corn muni t
ibis community is not one of hig
economic status, so we can elirainai
the thought that it is an exception!
group.
What was done in Clark townsiii
can be done anywhere. By givin
children proper foods, by inculcatin
proper dental habits, and by provh
tng them with scientific dental car
we can save their teeth.
Forgers Recognized as
Most Clever Criminal

American Detective Magazine. M
Knowles, who is a special investig;
tor for tlie William J. Burns Dete

“The lack of tangible. dues pr.

gangs that to catch one of the man
means little. Although we invest
gators and the police may. in on
minds, be sure of certain things, th
law says it all has to be proven, n(
surmised. Forgers, for this reasoi
coupled with their own organize
cleverness and network of ‘insidi
help, are the slipperiest to hold c
all criminals.
“If one of the gang is caught an

Record Inflation
The German mark as a unit was
established by the German Federa-
tion of States following the Franeo-
Prussian war in .1873, with a nom-
inal value of 823.80 for 100 marks.
After the World war an inflation of
currency set in, which reached its
peak in 1923, to such an extend that
the paper mark was practically
worthless. t’or instance, it cost
2,000,000,000 paper marks to catry
a letter from Germany to ‘she Unit-
ed States. Under the Dawes plan
Germany stabilized her monetary
system, going back to the gold
standard. The new currency now In
use is called the reichsmark, which
has a nominal value, like the former
mark, of $23.80 for 100. The old pa-
per mark notes issued before 1923
are worthless. The reichsmark
notes issued by the Relchsbank in
Germany are today purchased by
!>anks at current rates.

five of these medals, which wi

Frogekin Shoe*
Shoes of frogskin are the latest craze

Satin with feather capes will again
be worn this autumn by the very
smartest women, for they consider
this fashion both chic and flattering,
as well as allowing for lovely color
contrasts.
Thus a frock of deep purplish-blue
satin appears under a cape of soft
green feathers and a pink satin frock
allies itself with a cape of cornflower
blue feathers. Another dress of pale
satin is worn with a cape mdde of
smoky gray feathers.
A black satin dress, cut on sheatt
lines is worn with a collar-like cape
let of matching black satin edged with
