Sheik’s Contest
May “Fizzle;” Rudy
to Sail for Europe
More Than 100 Maidens
Await Promised Trip—Irene
Castle Has “Hunch” —*
454 Feature Pictures.
By Universal IwtIm.
New York, July T.—A momentous
question has arisen from the recent
tour of Rodolph Valentino and the
sheik's intention tp sail from New
York July 24 for England to make
pictures.
When the Valentinos recently
toured for themselves and In the
promotion of a beauty clay, the clay
concern and Valentino promised each
town, in a contest exploited In a local
newspaper, that the aelected beauty
of the city would have an equal
chance In a convention of all to be
held In New York during May or
June for the final selection as lead
ing lady for Valentino's next picture.
The months have passed, with July
now here, and Valentino about to
leave without the "convention in New
York" taking definite form. Valen
tino and the beauty clay people are
reported Jointly responsible for the
100 or more maidens from as many
towns chosen as candidates to go to
NeW York, with each properly chaper
oned at the expense of the clay crowd.
The total expense would reach $150,
000, it Is estimated, if all the aspir
ants were duly forwarded, maintained
and returned.
Irene Complimented.
Iren* Castle felt quite compli
mented when invited to Lady Con
rad's fancy dress affair in London.
Rut Mrs. Castle got a‘‘hunch" she
wasn’t wholly wanted for herself
alone when Ixidy Conrad informed
America’s leading how-to-dress model
the spotlight would illuminate her
entrance into the ballroom.
Florence Mills, colored, and of the
"plantation revue,” also received an
invitation to the same affair. Miss
Mills Is appearing In the colored show
in London.
Unable to lose the “hunch,” Mrs.
Castle borrowed a dress from Miss
Mills, blacked up her face, and. ar
riving first, slipped in without being
glowed by the spot. Miss Mills ar
rived late. "What happened after that
isn’t related.
It's growing common In London
for society to invite stage celebrities,
trustful of having guests enjoy the
sights, if not an impromptu free per
formance.

Brookhart Lauds
Co-op Congress
at Edinburgh
First Society of Intertradc Re
lations Formed in 1843 by
28 English Flannel
Weavers.
By SMITH V. BKOOKHART.
Vnlted Stolen Senator from Iowa.
In 1843, 28 flannel weavers at
Rochdale. England, evolved a new
theory on economic organization. It
was based upon three simple prin
ciples:
First—In the co-operative enter
prise one man would have one vote.
Capital would not vote.
Second—The earnings or wages of
capital should be fixed like the wages
of men and not exceed the legal in
terest rate.
Third—Surplus net earnings should
be distributed by retaining one-fourth
in the business for reserve, safety
and growth, and the other three
fourths divided among the producers
and consumers in proportion to the
amount of business they transacted
with the enterprise.
This last principle, now so well
known as trade dividends, was new
at that time. Other methods had
been tried before and had all failed.
Encourage Federation.
Charles Haworth is now honored
as its author, and to it must be
given the credit for the great suc
cess of the co-operative movement,
wherever It haa been Intelligently
managed.
The other minor methods of busi
ness operation recommended and usu
ally followed are as follows:
First—All transactions will be for
cash or its equivalent.
Second—All goods will be sold at the
usual market price. In competitive
co-operation this would be changed to
cost of production plus the co-opera
tive margin of profit. No Inducement
was offered by cutting of prices, but
a universal benefit was found In the
trade dividend.
Third—Societies would not compete,
but would federate with each other.
Fourth—Every society and every
member would teach co-operation.
In one year these 28 weavers had
saved a pound each, and with this
little capital of less than $140 they
opened their little store In Toad I,ane.
They started It with four articles of
food; they opened it but two evenings
each week, and they took turns at
tending to store.
Of Humble Origin.
No enterprise ever started with less
promise. None has ever achieved such
a world wide success. It was the
British congress of these Equitable
Pioneers of Rochdale, which I Just at
tended in Edinburgh. It Is a meager
picture of its growth and develop
ment as reflected in this congress
which 1 will try to present in this
article.
There were more than 1,800 dele
gates In the congress representing
more than 1,500 societies nnd more
than 4,500,000 members. They direct
ly represented more than a third of
the population of (Ireat Britain and
indirectly more than two-thirds. There
were also fraternal delegates front
nearly every country in the world. I
represented the Co-Operative League
of America and the Locomotive En
gineers' Co-Operative National bank.
The sincerity and the spirit of this
congress are scarcely paralleled by
any other assemblage In the world.
They have the earnestness of tht
crusader and the courage of the mar
tyr. They have the keen perception
of the business man and the benevo
lent humanity of the sermon on the
mount.
Intensely Active.
They are the only congress l ever
saw that would attend three full days
and nights of sessions and be pres
ent all ths time. Their leadership Is
of the highest order. I have met none
more sufficient and clearsighted
among the business men or the states
men of Europe. Their Interest In pub
lic affairs Is Just as keen as their
Interest In the economic rights of the
workers.
They speak of public questions with
a directness and a courage that Is
admirable In these times of evasion
and deceit. They are not Impulsive,
any they act In each Instance upon
facts applied to well defined and long
tried principles. They discuss educa
tional questions with a seal that
amounts almost to religious frenzy
and they always adopt methods that
are sans and practical.
This was the R5th annual oongreas
of these co-operative associations
During all that tlms their growth and
developmepf has been caused by this
co-operative spirit and seal. They
have grown without ths assistance of
friendly explanation, and In fact,
most government agencies have been
hostile to them all the time. They
Imve been forced to face the strong
eat and most unscrupulous methods
of private business, and In spite of It
all they have prospered to a degree
that now challenges the attention of
the whole business and political
world.
Ths original society of Rochdale
organized other neighboring societies
Thesa societies then federated to
gether and hecama memhers of s
wholesale. They subscribed all of
the itook, controlled the manage
ment and distributed the profits in
the same co-operative way.
The wholesale then established fac
tories and finally a credit or banking
department.
Made Outside I sums.
The members would deposit their
savings with the local societies, and
they in turn became depositors and
borrowers with their wholesale. This
banking department has grown, un
til its turnover last year was over
$3,000,000,000. It has credit enough
for the legitimate support of all its
members and has even made outside
loans, notably to the City of Glas
gow’.
Each of 1,500 Individual societies
has established from one to three
retail stores. Many of these are de
partment stores. There are two great
wholesales: The Scottish at Glas
gow, Is larger than any privately
owned wholesale store in the world,
and the great wholesale at Man
chester is about 10 times larger than
the Scottish.
They have 158 factories, producing
nearly everything In our civilization.
They have 40,,000 acres of land oper
ated upon the same co-operative prin
ciples as the factories. They own coal
mines, they write Insurance and they
operate ships to carry goods from
abroad.
Oppressive measures In parliament
recently led them to' enter politics
and they elected four nif inters upon
their co-operative party ticket at the
last election and supported most of
the large number of labor members
that were elected. This successful
beginning has encouraged them, and
this congress decided to go ahead
with political ackon with Increased
force and determination.
This congress was not content to
recite statistics of its achievements,
but also conducted an exposition
where all of Its products were on dis
play. In addition to this it took the
foreign delegates to see its factories
and the great wholesale houses at
Glasgow,
Criticizes league.
It received a delegate from the
League of Nations and listened to
“his presentation of Its claims for
recognition and support. It then
frankly criticized the league for Its
shortcomings and . pointed out Its
very great deficiencies in the coop
eratlve spirit.
It also criticized the English gov
ernment for the threat to sever trade
relations with Russia and It con
demned the French for the occupn
tion of the Ruhr. It also developed
the fact that agriculture through
lack of organization and co-operative
development Is oppressed and ruined
even on the doorstep of the best mar
ket In the world.
The facts developed by this con
gress are the strongest call that has
ever gone forth to the American
farmers to organize for both political
and economic action.
The voice of this congress Is also
the strongest appeal for the co-oper
ation of the producers on the farm
find In the factory for both the con
trol of their governments and the
distribution of their products.
Agriculture unorganized has gone
to peasantry and almost peonage in
these countries w’here it Is closest to
markets and should have the best
reward. lt» ultimate prosper* In
America without organization and co
operative action Is gloomy Indeed.
Internallonal K\< dinner.
This congress summarized the
world situation and for the future
demanded International co-operative
exchange. Nations may object to
political leagues «nd world courts,
but the producers of no nation,
whether on the farm or In the fac
tory, will object to the co-operative
exchange of their products.
The sum total of this congress
means that one economic principle
alons has survived the war Intact.
It Is the principle of the flannel weav
ers of Rochdale.
The competitive system has de
stroyed Its own efficiency and
brought unrest and revolution to the
peoples of Europe. These people are
taking their affairs more and more
Into their own hands.
The revolution In Russia, the revo
lution In Germany, the revolution In
Austria Hungary, the revolutions In
Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria and
the revolution In Italy hnve spoken
loudly, even as the American and
French revolutions of more than a
century ago.
I believe the human race la ready
for a great step forward In civiliza
tion. It Is surveying the past, hut
Is no longer willing to follow that
whlrh has failed. Out of It all eco
nomic cooperation alone has gained
strength, prestige and hnor.
The proudest statement of this con
gress after reviewing ths millions
and billions that symbolized Its
achievements, wns the simple state
ment: "Thers Is not a millionaire
among us."

W. H. Taft Blames
Prohibition Law
for Lawlessness
Enforcement Necessary, Says
Chief Justice in Foreword
to Briton’s Impressions '
From American Tour.
By I'nUersul Service.
London, July 7.—Chief Justice Wil
liam If. Taft, writing the foreword
for the new book, "The Law of Kins
men," by I^ord Shaw of Dunfermline,
blames the prohibition law, which he
first opposed and now defends, for the
wave of lawlessness which has swept
over the United States for the last
four years.
After paying the usual tribute to
the "mother country," emphasizing
our great debt to our AnglQ-Saxon
progenitors, the chief Justice de
clares that Lord Shaw, whose book
reciting his impressions of America
garnered during his tour of the
l.'nlted States, has just been published
by Hodder & Stoughton, "saw our
defects clearly and was made anxious
by tendencies (violation of the prohi
bition law) which, If they grow strong
er, will Injure our great experiment
in pure rule of the people." The
chief justice adds:
"The present lack of respect for law
In America did not escape Lord Shaw
and the primary lesson he teaches Is
the absolutely Indispensable need of
enforcement and respect for law, If
liberty, happiness and justice are to
prevail for the humblest of the Ameri
can people." ,
Reaction Succeeds War.
Declaring that Lord Shaw could not,
as a visitor, go Into the causes of the
present disquieting symptoms, Jus
tice Taft plainly attributed the law
lessness and disquiet to the enforce
ment of the Volstead act, saying:
"Every war Is succeeded by a reac
tion In the returning soldiers from the
personal restraint of military disci
pline on one hand and an undue esti
mate of physical force as a source of
power and Influence on the other.
"Then, In our people who did not
go to war, the wonderful sacrificial
spirit and real religious fervor has
been succeeded by a return to world
ly self-gratifying trlvlaltles.
"Moreover, we have a special pro
moting cause for lawlessness In our
community. As an outgrowth of the
reforming and religious enthusiasm
engendered during the war, we en
acted Into the constitution and stat
utes the policy of prohibiting In the
whole T'nlted States the manufacture,
transportation. Import and export of
Intoxicating beverages.
"In a colder and calmer state of
the public mind the reform Is found
to he at variance with the habits of
many of nur people, especially In the
larger cities, and from the outset the
law has become most difficult to en
force.
"Natives of continental Europe,
used to beer and wine as a part of
their dally diet, are not expected to
sympathize with such restraint, hence
the evasion of the law by small home
brews, Individual wine presses and
little stills are frequent.
Host Distressing Symptom.
"The most distressing symptom,
however, is the attitude of some well
to-do, intelligent people, who protest
against tho Justice and wisdom of the
law, and who treat with levity Its
violations when such serve to furnish
them with wines and liquors for their
own enjoyment.
"The difference between the funda
mental law and tho government en
forcing It, on one hand, and a group
of such well-to-do men and women,
who are usually an element of
strength In ^enforcing law, on the
other hand. Is demoralizing. It en
larges the criminal classes by recruits
led to Join their ranks by the lax,
apologetic, conniving attltudo of re
spectable people towards this unlaw
ful hut lucrative tra«Je.
“With many others, I was opposed
strongly to national prohibition, for
these reasons:
"1. Because T had grave doubt
whether It could be enforced and
feared a resulting demoralization of
all law.
"2. Because I deprecated much un
due expansion of federal Jurisdiction
and a disturbance of the wise balance
between national and state powers In
our system.
■'.1. Hecause I feared that no matter
how drastic the law. the question
would force Itself as a constant Issue
In politics, thus diverting the public
mind from Important Issues, and. In
the confusion, preventing well con
sidered elective decisions regarding
them.
"My fears have been realised only
too fully, but maybe we have no right
to expect euccess of the new policy
at once. The saloon has been abol
ished; the spread of Intoxication
through easy access to liquor hss
heon abolished and this grent good Is
shown to be appreciated In country
districts and small towns.
Utile Prospect of Change.
"There la very little prospect of a
change In policy, because this would
need a vote of two thirds In each
house of congress and (he vote of
legislatures In three-fourths of the
states, and opponents cannot muster
even a majority In the congress Just
elected. The legislatures of St> states
out of 4S must vote to repeal the 1 Sth
amendment to the constitution. This
Is simply Impossible.
"There Is nothing to be done, there
fore, except to set ourselves to the
serious task of enforcing the law. to
cease protesting against Its enact
ment and by such attitude enrourag
Ing Its violation.
"What tha outcome !■ going to be
the friends of law and order cannot
confidently predict. We can only hope
those Intelligent, well-to-do people In
the community who do not eympn
I hire with the Inw will aoo the dls
natrons end of their 'primrose path
dalliance' nnd will bend their own
tastes nnd predilections to their plain
duty.
"In view of these conditions there
Is no nerd to elaborate on the great
benefit of Lord Hhnw'a itddrrssea. in
every one <>f which, by apt Illustration
nnd by homily nnd eloquence of die
tlon, he holds up the maintenance of
equal law ns Indispensable to the wel
fare of every people."

Home for Drug
Addicts Urged
San Clpmente Island Picked
as Ideal Spot to Redeem
Victims of Drugs.
I.os Angeles. July 7.—Plans for the
erection on the rocky shores of Kan
Clemente Island, 50 miles from Eos
Angeles, of a home for drug addicts,
proposed by the American narcotic
crusade as a means of caring for nar
cotic users who wish to escape from
the clutches of the dope monster,
have been revealed here.
Mrs. Angela C. Kaufman, well
known social worker, and originator
of the American narcotic crusade. Is
firm In her belief that such Isolation
would lessen by at least 75 per cent
the drug addicts In the United States.
The project will cost approximately
15,000,000, It Is estimated. This sum,
she said, will he raised through popu
lar subscription.
Negotiations for a lease of San
Clemente Island from the San
Clemente Cattlemen's association for
$200,000 are now pending. Recently
Mrs. Kaufman and a number of her
backers visited the Island and viewed
probable locations.
When sufficient funds have been
raised a first unit of the mammoth
structure will be built, Mrs. Kauf
man aaid.
It Is the plan of those interested in
the undertaking to erect quarters to
accommodate at least 1,000 addicts
and then to add units as they are
needed.
Yankees Abroad
to See Sights
Rum No Inducement to Visits
to London, American
Residents Say.
By Associated Press.
London, July 7.—One of the stand
ing Jokes of the English newspapers
Is that Americans come abroad In
tho touristy season principally to
drink and dance. This little pleasant
ry Is becoming very shop worn to
Americans who live here and who
know that the great majority of trav
elers from the I'nited States come
here now for the same reason they
have always crossed tho Atlantic—
to see the sights.
Some well-meaning London shop
keepers and others started during the
of? season what they called a "bright
er London movement." One of Its
purposes was to have the amusement
places, particularly the dancing re
sorts. kept open later than hereto
fore, and to have the license hours
prolonged for the hotels and restau
rants which maintain cabaret shows.
All this was to have been done for
the special bepefit of Americans.
But the "brighter London move
ment" has been wasted as far as
Yankee tourists are concerned. Pro
hibition does not seem to have
changed them. The tired business
man manages to cheer up when he
gets abroad without spending all his
time at the cocktail bars, and for
every American citizen found at Jazz
teas in the restaurants several hun
dred are pouring through Westmin
ster abbey and the Tower of London,
armed with their red guide books.
Thousands go by train and by
motor to Oxford and to Stratford,
where Shakespeare was born, and
where Marie Corelli lives.
The cathedral towns in Ireland are
beginning to cry out for a share In
the attention, although the news
papers admit that the traveling facili
ties are not yet entirely normal in
that country. Nevertheless, Ireland
Is safe for strangers. She Is as hos
pitable as ever ar.d is feeling a little
lonely.

"It is Important that the children '
should be taught to work," declared
Rev. Young. ‘Kvery child of tender
