This feature, which was made at the Grand Canyon, offers many magnificent views of this wonder of nature. and it is said that 1t is the best picture yet made at this famous location from photographic standpoint Much has been written of the poor material of the canyon for making what are termed good pictures, owing to it's pronounced yellows and reds. Again the light conditions are not always the best for good results, and for this reason many delays were experienced, for the photographic staff were determined to present the best views ever made of the canyon.

(Ponular Sciencel

One of the most extensively used cleaning mixtures on the market has it's wide sale because it is not inflam- mable as benzine and similar products are. It is practically nothing but a mixture of benzine and carbone tetra- chloride which when mixed in certain proportions will not burn or explode when a match is applied to the mouth of the container It was found that the best results were obtained when these two substances were mixed in the proportion of nine parts, by vol ume. of carbon tetrachloride to one part of benZine. This mixture does not detract from the cleansing properties of the benzine but rather adds to. them

"The Princess Pat the Cort theater, New York. production of the Henry Blossom-Victor Herbert musical com edy success, will be the notable at traction at the Columbia theater for three nights beginning, Monday April 29. When this latest triumph of the celebrated collaborators received its metropolitan hearing, it scored un- qualified approval and was stamped the best musical offering of the year.
 A Victor Herbert's score can always be depended upon for thorough enjoy ment, while MT. Blossoms book and lyrics have never yet failed to fully fill all requirements. The story of the comedy relates the flirtations of the Princess di Montaido, an Irish girl, who has married an Italian nobleman. By her friends she is called Pat for short. At a house party on Long Island, she becomes acquainted with Anthony O'Brien, an elderly millionaire, who is about to marry Grace Holbrook.

The husband of the Princess has drifted from his ardent lovemaking Of other days and to teach him a much needed lesson, and by some means cause the breaking of the engagement that exists between Grace and O'Brien. she induces Bob Darrow, a sort of adventurer, to lend his help. A plot is evolved that results in a series of most humorous situations.

built boat presented to the Boy
Scouts Of Biddeford. and which IS
moored at Andrews wharf on the
Fool road. Biddeford. were fooled IN
their attempt Monday afternoon BY
Bugler Foss Of Troop !. who was at
work in a field nearby and was
asked by his mother TO make an
investigation and see what the boys
were doing. Upon the approach OF
Scout Foss the youthful river pi-
rates took to their legs, leaving their
/ skiff behind. together with oars and
rowlocks. They had removed most
of the screws from the brass fittings
Of the scout boat and but for the
timely discovery would have made
off with everything removable which
IS of valCc. Scout Foss after taking
care of the deserted skiff and it's
outfit mounted his bicycle and tried
to run down the young miscreants
but they made good their ESCAPE,
Their arrest is quite certain to fol-
low. as the skiff is likely to be iden-
tilted very soon.

the probable amount OF such decrease

roughly, 75.02"Q01 pounds Of meal

week. as against O pre-war normal Of
less than 100000 pounds. Even
with these large shipments the Allies
have found il necessary to reduce
the consumption OF all kinds Of meats

II pounds per week per person. in
order that No further draft should ha
made upon shipping that i now re-

about 81 pounds per week per person

If the public will continue in the

"A general adherence TO these
