JACK LONDON STORY, THE SEA
WOLF" IS ADAPTED 70 SCREEN

The tatraction at the Palace theater
airdome Sunday will be the Paramount
Aircraft screen version of Jack Lon
don's famous novel. "Thc Sea Wolf. :
The picture is declared to be in sew
eral respects out of the ordinary
Striking sea scenes, including a col
lsion between a ferryboat and a
schooner filmed ON the very locale of
the story-San Francisco bay-are
among the features.
| But the chief interest is in the story
The central figure is the brutal sea
captain, "Wolf" Larsen, a peculiar
mixture of villain and hero, philoso-
pher and near-animal. The plot CEN

, the adventures which befall a beauti-
! full girl and her young idler admirer
when they are involved in collision
ard, rescued by Wolf, are kept by him
aboard his vessel
Noah Berry gives notable per-

the rescued youth who becomes cabin

GAS SHORT AGE
NOT SERIOUS IS
OFFICIAL OPINION
Although Temporary Cut of
20 Percent is Made, Indica-
tons are That July VIII
See Shortage Orer.

That Imperial Valley will experience
no serious inconvenience from the
present gasoline shortage is the con-
sensus of opinion as expressed this
morning by officials of the oil COM
panies. Although 20 percent cut
was made effective yesterday in the
regular deliveries made to local
service stations it is said that today s
quotas will take care of the normal
demand, in as much as the 20 percent
reduction was based on the previous
weeks business, which was an unus-
ually large week from the standpoint
of gas consumption.
The Standard Oil Company, the
Union Oil Company and the Southern
Pacific railway are making every
effort to insure farmers, dairymcn
and all enterprises which are depend
ent upon PETROLEUM, with sufficient
supply to keep every wheel turning
This program will be carried out n
the expense of the coast cities if ne
cessary. This policy has been deter
mined upon in consideration of the
immense production of food stuffs
here.
Creamery trucks, and transporta-
ton service trucks are being urged to
carry heavier loads and travel less
miles. Upon the other hand it has
been ascertained that many trucks
and automobiles can burn a percent
age of kerosene or distillate mixed
with gasoline. In this manner it is
assured that all business will be car
ried on in the usual manner.
Present indications are that after
July the shortage period will be
over, while on the coast no relief Is
looked for prior to October /. The
present short gas rations are attribut-
ed to shipping difficulties occasioned
by the recent railroad strike and the
failure of the railroads to move cars.

"kIND HEARTS,"

By A. J. Casin, jefferson City, Mo.
Not mighty deeds make up the sum
OF happiness below;
But little acts of kindness,
Which any child may show.
A merry sound to cheer the babe,
And tell a friend is near;
A word of ready sympathy,
To dry the childish fear.
A glass of water kindly brought,
An offered easy chair;
The turning of the window blind,
That one may feel the air.
An early flower unasked, bestowed,
A light and cautious tread;
A voice to gentlest whisper hushed;
To spare the aching head.
Oh! deeds like these though little
things,
Yet puPest love disclose;
AS fragrant perfume on the air,
Reveals the hidden rose.

Andrea was faint and pale with hun

for the very first time in her life

That was a great and merry dinner.
