ANOTHER ALL STAR BILL
At The STRAND THEATRE

That Darwin's much discussed the
ory of man being evolved from o
key is absolutely ~groundless as to fact
is c~onvincingly shown by Charles A.
Logue in "A Scream in the Night"
the photodramatic sensation released
by Select Pictures and presented at
the Strand theatre today, with Ruth
Budd as the featured player and with
Ralph Kellard and Edna Britton ap-
pearing prominently in the strong
supporting cast.
Nh. Louge udrives home his point
in a highly sensational climax when
he puts his leading character in the
story, a beautiful dapghter of the
Jungle, against an ape. The girl
faces a fate worse than death, hut
escapes by using her reasoning power
against the initiative powers possess
ed by the beast.
And therein lies the answer to OAR
win Man. possessed of e. e0o'0%
power, can create; the ape possessed
only of the power of imitation, can
MY emulate man.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS PLEASES
MANY At The DITMAS

The Fairbanks, whose
surname is Doug" has pulled an
other thriller, in producing his sec
ond independently produced picture
for United Artists, "When the Clouds
Roll By" which crowded to its ut
most capacity yesterday the Ditmas
theatre.
Doug has had a habit of doing
unusual things but he exceeded ex-
peotations this time, despite the fact
that we were told that this was his
best production. Superfiuous phrases
which preceded his coming, in talk
ing about the film, We're more thar
lived up to, and we say without fear
of contradiction that this is one of
the few pictures ver produced that
fans really want to see over and owe
again.
The most unusual feature about
the picture is the subject treated
Superstitions. It's a touchy theme to
say tho least because of the millions
of people in the country who really
believe that they won't be married
for sever years if they break a mir
ror, that they'll have bad luck if a
black cat crosses their path or that
they will have a quarrel If they spill
salt n all the other hundred and
superstitlous jinXs. But the way
"Dors" handles the material is just
to the liking OF everyone who crowd
ed the theatre, and moreover he
through his terrible doings
with the same optimistic smile and
good will expression that he always
does. smashing to smithereens all the
old hoax stuff.

Added proof of the old adage that

BY Proxy" Tack Pickford's latest
film which will be at the Crescent
Theatre, today only.
Jack Robin, played by Pickford,
falls in o with the voice of Dorothy
Mason.
Jack leans over a fower-covered
fence TO see Dorothy Mason singing
and playing her own accomplishments
on a baby grand piano. That music
and that girl seem to him to be as
wonderful as spring itself.
An explosion from a tire blowout
brings the girl dashing down the
lawn to ascertain the trouble. Then
Jack gets a great idea. He Is taken
into the Mason home unconscious, it
seems. And then his troubles be-
gin.
Tin Pan Alley, the name given to
a street where music publishers made
their headquarters. Is the scene of a
photoplay by the same name which
will be shown at the Crescent Theatre
tomorrow only. This picture tells OF
the struggles of q young song writer
and throws some interesting side
lights on how to get a real inspira-
ton for the writing of a song that will
go straight to human hearts.

COMMISSIONERS
WITHDRAW BIDS
& BOWLER RECALLED; BIDS TO
BE RE-ADVERTISED.

After awarding contracts to Layne
& Bowler, of Nashville, for drilling
two new wells for the citys water
supply early in the afternoon the city
commissioners late last night with
drew the contracts and will re-adver-
tise for bids for the wells, according
to Commissioner Hinricks.
The awarding of the contracts was
contested by one of the bidders and
the commissioners last night withdrew
the contract. When approached with
this decision, Agent Reese of Layne
& Bowler readily gave his consent
agreeing with the commissioners that
this action might avoid unpleasant
legal complications. He said that his
firm would probably submit new bids
when they were advertised later by
the city.
Three bids were submitted 10 the
commissioners in their meeting yester-
day, the Layne & Bowler bid being the
best one in the opinion of the commits
sioners. The bids submitted were
from Layne s, Bowler, price $11 per
gallon per minute; work to be started
within 10 days; Lambert & Julian Well
Drilling company, Mobile, $40 per gall
days; Gray Artesian company. Pensa-
cola, $3.50 per gallon, work TO be
started within so days
The price quoted by Layne & Bowl
err was not the lowest, but was let on
account of the. time that this com
pany would be able to begin work and
because of the facilities of the COM
pany for putting in good wells. The
company will eqpip the wells with
pumping and alr necessary faculties
assuring an adequate supply of water
for the city.
The report of the water department
for the months of October and Novern-
Der was submitted to the commissions
ers and filed yesterday afternoon. The
report shows a total of 7S,783,000 gal
Ions pumped during the month of No
.vember, daily capacity of $4,000
one pound of coal pumping 1880 gall
Ions of water. The month of October
showed slightly more water being
pumped during the months, 5S4, 900
gallons, but the same number OF gal
Ions to the pound of coal
The ordinance from the Yacht club
asking for permission to lease certain
property for a period of not less than
so years for the purpose of erecting
a modern and artistic club house was
considered yesterday. The city attor-
ney reported on the ordinance asking
that more details as to plans and spec
ifications be given, as the ones drawn
up for yesterday were too general and
indefinite.
Licenses granted during the month
of December were reported yesterday
showing that a total Of 90 had been
granted, - bringing in S1,335.99. This
report was ordered filed.

PHONE SYSTEM
LINKS NATION
CENSUS REPORT INDICATES CON-
TINUED GROWTH OF INDUSTRY
IN ALL PARTS OF THE NATION.

Washington, Jan. 12=Aecording to
the report about to be issued by the
bureau of the census showing the re-
suits of the census Of telephones COW
ering the year 1917, there are 1924
separate telephone systems and lines
These lines and systems operated U.s.
S27, 18S miles Of wire in the United
States-enough to girdIe the earth at
the equator, 1,153 times-and con-
neeted 1L716,520 telephones and 21,175
public exchanges. The messages or
talks" sent over these wires aggre-
gated the stupendous total of nearly
p billion, or, to be exact, 81 ,S45, 1922
|335.
Figured on the estimated population
Of the country in 1917 this gives 211
messages per annum to every man,
woman and child.
The industry in 1917 gave employ
ment to 262, 629 persons of whom ILL.,
10. or over 65 per cent, were women.
The sum paid out in salaries and
wages amounted to S175. $40 ,499. These
employees operated plants and equip
ment valued at s1,492 ,329.o15. which
yielded operating and non operating
revenues of 1891 1881.
The report discusses the develop
ment OF the telephone industry tele-
phone equipment and traffic; offer in.
teresting comparisons between the Bell
and other systems, and between the
telephone system as a whole and the
telegraph system; and gives impor-
tant financial statistics of the indus
try. Detailed figures are presented for
1917 by states and geographic divi-
sions and comparative statistics for
earlier years. The statistics for 1917
for any previous census, due to the
uniform system of accounts provided
for telephone companies by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, which
have been in use since January /, 1913.
The Bell telephone system con-
trolled over four-fifths of the total
wire mileage, employed over three
fourths of the employees of the indus
try, paid over four-fifths of the total
bill for salaries and wages, and re-
ceived nearly four-fifths of the total
revenue.
over three-fifths OF all telephones
in the United States bore the 'Bell'
sign, and two-thirds of all persons
who were wanted on the wire" were
wanted on a Bell wire. The dominat-
ing part that the Bell system plays in
the industry may be further illus
trated by the fact that of all the other
systems reported, 96.1 per cent report
ed annual incomes of less than $4,000.
Comparisons with previous censuses
bring ont in a striking way the re-
markable development of the indus
try. During the decade 1907-1917 wire
mileage increased 12s per cent, the
number of telephones 1923 per cent.
the number of messages 9O.5 per cent.
for systems having incomes of $1,000
or more.
A comparison by geographic divi-
sions brings out the fact that consid-
erably MORE than one-half of the tele-
phone systems reporting annual in
comes of $1,000 or more in 1917 were
located in the middle west, while sys-
TENS and lines reporting incomes of
less than So 900 We're found in the
