The Frenchman and the German sell their holdings and with their families return to Europe--the Frenchman to Paris and the German to Berlin. The new found wealth proved a curse to both
 In France, Julio, upon whom Mada- riaga, had placed his hopes, becomes involved in an ill-advised TO- nance. He falls in love with the wife of a statesman, who is an un- happy victing of a marriage arr ranged in the continental fashion. She came to his studio many times, one too many in fact, for at last the husband surprised the two lovers.

NO CORN FOR FUEL
 IN COMING WINTER
Idea Was Based on Assump- ton That Corn Would Be
 Cheaper Than Coal
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 1I.-Farmers that raise corn are generally gong to burn none Of-it for fuel this win ter because of low prices. That is the judgment of agricultural au- thorities in big corn raising states.
 T never burned any, nor ever heard of anybody burning any corn, said D. o. Thompson, secretary of the Illinois Agricultural associa ion q guess somebody figured out It could be done and jumped to the idea that it was.
 There will certainly be not much if any of it done in Illinois. We are close to the coal fields and our fur naces are better fitted for coal.
 From Iowa comes this word rom Charles D. Reed, director of the state crop and weather service.
 "The idea that Iowa farmers might burn corn this winter is based on the assumption that we are going to have 30-cent corn. Even at that price the margin would not be great enough to warrant burning corn. Farmers will haul their corn to mar ket and exchange 1t for coal, be- cause corn makes such very poor fuel"

BRIDGE OF GODS
 MAY BE REPLACED
 BY ONE OF STEEL

Cascade Locks. Ore, September IT.. The Bridge of the Gods" a natural bridge which Indian legend says once spanned the wide Columbia river here, may be replaced by a bridge of steel or concrete for passage of the white mans automobile.
 From father to son, back farther than the white mans writings go, has come the tale of how once a great mass of stone and earth and huge trees arched the Columbia as a causeway upon which Indians crossed the wide flowing stream. Then there came a day when the bridge of nature was shaken from
 it's moorings. and sank into the water. And that is how, they say, the cascades were created.
 Geographical and geological in- vestigators have reported that the red mems story may be true. When the waters of the Columbia are mains of trees may be seen stand ing, as they may have stood before the bridge fell and formed the cas- cades
 Credence Is placed in the natural bridge of F. H. Balch, author of the Indian romance, "The Bridge of the Gods" He says that Indians every where along the mid Columbia tell or the great bridge that once stooo over the cascades.
 All Columbian tribes tell the story" he says. "in different versions and different dialects, but all agree ing on the essential features as one of the great facts of past history Engineers were recently reported making preliminary surveys on poth sides of the Columbia for bridge just below the cascades.

sorbing drama of the play may be found in the following:
 With the queer sardonic china man you tread stealthy stairway that seem to croak with memories and confessions or, with Gypsy Fair, the adorable little dancer, you trip meas ures in the sunshine of broad walks and little courtyards;
 Sometimes you are upon the docks with the masts and spars of the shipping black against the starlt sky Again, you are in funny stuffy little dressing rooms which seem to have the age and traditions of the real.
 Still again, you are in ancient Egypt of the Pharoahs with the pyramids standing in grim and reek- ing silence at your back. Then again there comes into your purview dainty drawing rooms that ring with the laughter of children; and then old court rooms sodden with sorrows and the memories of sorrows.
 There is always something inter- esting and distinctive about Griffith's s sets but those of Dream Street" have charm that is beyond de- scription.'
