DELEGATION
 ON DAYLIGHT SAVING

Washington, July 21.-(Specia1)- The Alabama house delegation voted sohdly for bill repeating daylight saving. That bill is now in the senate, and on it the senate will not act
 The Alabama delegation voted solid ly for a rider attached to the agri- cultural bill repeating daylight saving. The senate supported that rider, and the bill went to the President Because of the rider, the bill was vetoed. The Alabama delegation in a futile effort to pass the rider over the Presidents veto voted unanimously.
 And then the republicans again at tempted to attach the rider to the ag- ricultural bill. The Alabama delega- ton divided. To eliminate the rider from the bill, Representatives McDuf- fie, Dent, Steagall, Blackmon, Heflin. Oliver, Almon and Bankhead voted. To retain the rider, Representative Hud- dleston voted.
 The attitude of the majority of the members of the delegation was set out in 6 short address by Representative Almon- He declared while tho house was in favor of repeating daylight sav- ing. it was not prone either to defeat the agricultural bill, delay it's passage with embarrassment to the department sorely in need of funds which should have been available July l, or to harass the President.
 Later, Representative McDuffie in an interview with the Age-Herald repre- sentative said: There is a separate bill repeating daylight saving pending in the senate. The republican majority will not act on it although the house

me point Of the story.
 But the film to be played at the All cazar the first four days this week is acclaimed to be such a picture.
 The title of this picture is The Turn in the Road" Brentwood special pro- duction, and played by an all-star cast From all reports it is a picture that too much cannot be said about. Wher- ever it has played it has created wide discussion among the people who saw it. It is built around the theme of uni versal appeal and one which people love to discuss.
 It is appealing and genuinely hu- man. Now and then it brings tear that alternates with thrill and a laugh. It is a picture of life as all of us know it. It is the humanness of the events that brings the greatest appeal in this gripping picture. The story is a beautiful one of rich man S son who sank to the depths of degrada- tion in search of truth, and found it finally in his own home.
 "The Turn in the Road" is creating widespread interest in all parts of the country. It played an eight weeks en- gagement at Quinn's theatre, Los An geles, to packed houses at every per- formance and 1t is reported that thea tre managers in the big cities all over the country are shelving expensive pro- grammes in order to play this appeal ing picture.
 Manager Wise announced that he es- pecially desires the Alcazar's regular patronage to see this picture. knowing that they cannot help being in the highest praise of the production.

Industrial Unrest

Jasper, In LeSile B.
 We can trace our industrial unrest back to the day when cowardly congress Imeekly yielded to the demAnd of the four railroad brotherhoods for an increase Tn wages and a diminution of working hours under threat that If these were not granted the business of the entire cQun- try woudl be paralyzed. From the date that this cowardly act was done. radical labor leaders have proceeded on tho tne- ory that they can ask whatever they want and that the government must sup port their claims. The government mas pursued such a policy of trucking to Ia bor regardless of the interests of the pup lie, that the latter have been made to sui- fer incalculable hardships.
 The result of this trucking policy was shown in Seattle where an open threat of a revolutionary movement or the poi- shevist kind was made, and where TOT two days a great and prosperous clty was completely tied up until business men and patriotic citizens generally got pe- hind a fearless mayor and put an end 10 the proceeding. It is noticeable that III the recent election in Seattle the iapor union candidates for the city council were defeated by candidates standing on platform of 100 per cent Americanism.

 Wallace Reid at Strand

 This time Miss Clark deviates slight ly and appears in picture with real plot. not the fairy story kind, but one of real life. Let's E1ope' Is new Paramount picturization of Fred Jack son's famous farce, "The Naughty Wife," and is filled with action from start to finish It is declared to pro- vide dainty Miss Clark with most appealing role.
 Miss Clark is seen as the somewhat neglected wife of an author who mas relaxation in the society of an un- scrupulous young man who wins her consent to elope with him. when the husband learns of the affair he takes a hand in subsequent proceedings with the result that the elopement Is frus- trated and the foolish young wife brought to a full realization of her re- sponsibilities She finds that she loves her husband after all. The supporting cast includes Frank Mills.
 "Girlies and Grub bers" is Big " comedy shown with Let's Elope." The programme is completed with Pathe news.
 In Roaring Road,' Wallace Reid IS declared to have one of his best Para mount pictures, and an unusual one at that. The screens handsomest ac- tor" is seen as an automobile race driver, who shows up the protessional in every respect This popular star will be seen, it is believed, by bigger crowds than ever.

of love. She was woman Of hlgh social position. Her husband had giv- en himself to drink mad she had flirt- ed with another man whom she thought she loved.
 One of the strangest bargains ever conceived by a playwright is made in One Week of Life" It is bargain Pauline Frederick makes in her dual capacity as Mrs. Kingsley Sherwood and Marion Roche. The agreement is 8 deception. One woman is selfish and desirious of gaining her own ends; the other is generous and willing to take a great risk for the the others happiness The pact involves no thought of gain on the part of Marion and nothing but gain for the other party to the agree ment. It is without doubt something entirely new to the screen.
 She had allowed her husband to find consola ton in drink while she torment ed herself with a filtration with an- other man which could not be carried further because of, the conventions inn posed by her position. This woman would give her soul for a week of life with the man she imagines she loves.
