Generally when we read on the
screen that a scene in the celluloid
drama being unfolded before us
takes place on "a street I'm Paris" or
along the docks of London" we are
quite sure that what really happened
was that an ingenious director re-
produced these cities in a Los An
geles studio by astute carpentry and
having a number of extras parade
about in the correct costume. one
beauty of the Wallace Reid picture.
.Tcxcuse My Dust" showing at the
Ditmas theatre on Labor Day is that
the scenes are exactly what they
purport to be.
The picture tells an exciting auto

is a daring automobile race from

Harding suggests
 Some Adjustment

Marion, Ohio, Sept. 1.-Comment- ing today on the proposed abrogation of various commercial treaties, un, der provision of the shipping act Senator Harding declared his belief that "some adjustment" in favor of American bottoms must be made if the present requirements on the trade are to be enforced.
 "l am not prepared to discuss the effect of the shipping bill of exist ing commercial treaties," said the re- publican nominee, when his attention was called to the subject. "The bill was enacted while was involved in the pre-convention campaign. I vot- cd for the measure. I never resisted the policy of favoring American bot toms and it is my own judgment that the only way we can ever fairly pro- mote an American merchant marine is to take cognizance of the specific requirements of our shipping, which competing nations do not require. and adjust ourselves to that situation in favoring contracts for the trans mission of mails and other public business"

COTTON CROP NEEDS
 RAIN TO PROGRESS
 US. REPORT STATES
Lack of Sunshine Holds Back Growth in State of
 Arkansas

Washington, Sept. 1.-Cotton con- tinued to make unsatisfactory pro- gress during the past week, due to lack of sufficient rainfall and dry sunshiny weather, according to the national weather and crop bulletin issued today by the weather bureau.
 Progress was hindered in Oklaho. ma by insect pests; in Texas by heavy rains causing short fruiting; in Arkansas by lack of sunshine and continued showery weather; in Mis- sissippi, outside the Delta counties and Louisiana by unfavorable mois- ture and insect ravages and in South Carolina outside the Piedmont dis tirct, through rot, shedding and rust.
 Reports of some improvement were received from Georgia, but the condition is still poor and the plants are not fruiting we'll, the bulletin said. The crop made excellent pro- gress in North Carolina, except in the southwest, which experienced heavy rains. Picking is progressing in Georgia and southern Alabama, the report said, and has started in South Carolina. W
 Weevils continued to damage the crop in many sections of the belt.

STATION AGENT IS

Young Woman and Baby, Are Stranded, Sent to Rela-

POLICE GENEROUS;
 SECURE PASS FOR HER
Wife On Verge of Nervous Prostra. tiOn While Visiting Husband at Cell in City
 Jail

w. x. Hall, "A years old, until yes- terday station agent at Dewitt in Ar kansas county was being held by the police yesterday on charges of for gery.
 His wife and two-year-old baby were on their way to relatives resid- ing at Amarillo, Tex, after day of stormy events.
 Generosity of the Pine Bluff po- lice department brought Mrs. Hall and her little one out of their trou- bles in time to take train yester- day evening.
 Hall, who will be returned to De- witt today, and his wife who spent the afternoon at police headquarters, several times on the verge of pros- tration, told Chief of Police Stewart and City Detective w. T. Pate, how Hall attempted to cover an innocent mistake by forgery and of how he determined to evade arrest by flight. Mrs. Hall was ignorant of her hus- bands troubles until she was noti- fled at her room at the Arlington ho- tel yesterday that he was held at the police station.
 According to Hall he had had little experience in handling money when he took charge of the station agents office at Dewitt. He discovered re- gently that he was short in his ac- counts and fearing exposure he forg- ed check for the deficit, hoping to replace it later. Inspectors who ex- amined his accounts took the cheek with them, he stated, and he fled. He came to Pine Bluff yesterday with his wife and baby, Mrs. HilT being in ignorance of his dilemma. In the meanwhile information had been sent here and City Detective Pate made the arrest. Pate later successfu1ly sought the aid of Cotton Belt offi- 'cials and obtained g pass for Mrs. Hill for part of the distance to her home in Texas. He then arranged for her transportation for the bal- lance of the route.

Poles Will Not
 Stop at Border
 Unless Reds Quit

Washington, Sept. 1.-Entire satis- faction was expressed today by state department officials with the formal reply of the Polish government to the American note requesting a Polish declaration to abstain from trans gression of Russian territory.
 Poland is understood to have re- piled that strategic operations must govern the halting of her armies in their pursuit of the bolsheviki at the frontier line of Poland tentatively fix ed by the supreme council. Sugges- tion had been made by the American government in it's note that Poland make clear that her intentions toward Russia were not imperialistic and that her armies should not advance beyond the ethnographic line laid down by the supreme council.
 Announcement was made at the state department late today, that the American and Polish notes would be made public at once, but this plan was cancelled later, the reason not being given.

Exchanges With
 Japan Just Began
 Officials Announce

Washington, Sept. 1.-Belief wa. expressed by officials here today that a far wider meaning than was in. tended had been given to the recent announcement on the subject o1 Japanese immigration and the status of Japanese in the United States.
 The exchanges between the two governments, it was asserted, have scarcely progressed to date beyond the expression of mutual desires to take any necessary steps consistent with the honor and interests of the two countries to prevent development of friction growing out of the pres ence of Japanese in the United States.
 Both parties. to the negotiations are understood to feel it necessary to maintain silence but it is known that the negotiations have not yet reached the point where they treat of details of any kind of arrange. ment; nor is it even yet certain that there will be complete agreement up on the prinsiples involved. The Jap anese government has insisted that it has loyalty observed the gentle mems agreement" under which the Japanese government was to prevent coolies from getting passports for America. But it is believed to be dis posed to listen to any representa- tions to the effect that this agree ment has not been quite satisfac. tory in it's workings.
 If it is shown that the spirit of the agreement has been evaded then 1t is considered here as. quite like. ly that the Japanese government will be willing to strengthen the agree ment or even give it the more bind. ing form of treaty if desired by the United States. Also it is possi- ble that Japan may concede some abatement of the existing restrictions upon the rights of Americans to hold real property in Japan.
