SAVING COAL
AT UNIVERSITY
SEVEN HUNDRED TONS OF FUEL
WILL BE CONSERVED
DURING HOLIDAYS.

Iowa City, Dec. 26.-That 700 tons
of coal will be saved during the two
weeks holidays by closing down the
heating plants at the state university,
is the statement today Of Super1nten-
dent J. M. Fisk. The heat will be
turned off on all the university build
ings except the old capitol, which Is
used as an office building, and the en-
cheering building. If the weather
continues mild Mr.. Fisk believes these
can be heated from the exhaust from
the turbines that supply electrical
power and light current. II the river
continues to rise, the hydro plant can
be run and this will further increase
the saving.
Up to this time the university has
suffered no shortage OF coal and -FOUR
cars were received Saturday.

RIG BILL FARNUM
 IN SCREEN SPECTACLE

William Fox will present his stan- dard picture "The Conqueror' at the local Fox theater for three days starting next Sunday night. MT. Fox
 says of this picture: "I believe a new standard has been set in motion pic. ture production-a standard which,
 going further than the thrill and spectacular in which The onqueror,' abounds, affords a new and higher plane for dramatic exposition through the medium of the screen. Given Henry Christeen Warnack's engross- ing, virile story, and the enormous fla cilities afforded by the unlimited re- sources of the Fox producing organ ization, it needed but the master hand of R. A. Walsh. the famous Fox di- rector, who staged ''The Honor Sys- tenn" to make of the conqueror photo masterpiece. And that's just what MT. Walsh has done!'
 '"The Conqueror" was photographed in California, Texas, and Mexico. Six months were consumed in the mak- ing, and on the production MT. Fox spent about $300,000. Eight thousand people were employed. Among these were 450 Sioux Indians secured from the Department of the Interior from
