After the ship had passed through
we went down into a tunnel that
goes through the lock wall, and saw
the machinery that handles all Of the
gates and valves. The small levers
which the operator turns simply turn
on the electricity which does the rest,
All Of this was more or less ia
miliar to me as | had seen the locks
under construction, and the ma
chinery being installed, but having
just recently gone over it all, | was
again impressed with the ease and
with which a really big
and complicated process Is carried
out; and having it fresh in mind,
felt that it might not be uninterest-

future, ] am going out again and
take ride on one Of the little cleo
trio locomotives that pulls the ship
through the locks, and then | shall
have something more to tell you.

EARLE WILLIAMS

Earle Williams saw the possibili-
ties OF the motion picture screen
years ago when many OF his fellow
actors laughed at what they called
magic lantern acting" He closed
theatrical season early one summer.
and decided to break into motion
pictures. He never returned to the
stage. The producers and the pub
lie wouldn't let him.
The polished screen personality OF
Earle Williams made an instantan-
eous hit, so that today he is one of
the screens leading male stars. A
notable fact in his screen career Is
that every day Of il has been spent
under the banner OF the Vitagraph
Company - an astounding record
when screen stars are jumping from
producer to producer with comet
like speed. y
Most Of the Earle Williams pro-
auctions have been made at Vita
graphs Brooklyn studio. but he
journeyed to the West Coast a
number OF months ago to play the
title role in The Fortune Hunter, "
which turned out TO be one OF his
greatest pictures. He made the role
on the screen what John Barrymore
made it on the stage. Lately Mr.
Williams has successfully essayed
outdoor roles in productions such as
Bring Him In" a drama Of the
Northwest Mounted Police. Among
other recent plays of his are Lucky
Carson" Diamonds Adrft," and
the special production The. Silver
Carr"

the sky was a mosts brilliant blue;

without any further change, the sun

The next morning, guided by
friends who worked on the locks,
went over that very interesting piece
of apparatus. Everything is, con
trolled from a central tower. Before
the operator, there is a long counter,
or bench, which is called the control
board. On this is a long slab of mar
bic which represents the channels
through the locks. On each side of
it are spall levers. When the oper-
ator turns one, the gates open, and as
they turn, there is a small represen-
tation of the gates which open just
as the gates themselves do. When
the movement has been completed.
the operator knows the gates are
open. He turns another lever, and a
tremendous valve opens up, and the !

BERLIN'S YIELDING SPEEDS
PEACE, 1T Is BELIEVED
Now Be fastened Without
Harminq Allies.

Washington, May 12.-As soon as
the German reparations agreement is
underway, the Harding administra-
ton will proceed to the development
of it's foreign policy elsewhere, which
was epitomized in this sentence:
Equal rights to all, with Uncle Sam
getting exactly what belongs to him"
This policy will be applied to Amer
lean property and lives everywhere
and to the development of world COM
merce not only for the benefit of the
United States, but of other nations
that seek to be it's customers.
Under this general policy many i'm
pOrtant questions remain to be deter
mined, including:
The settlement of the zap, Mesopo-
tamian oil and cable questions, arising
under the Versailles treaty
An announcement of the Harding
policy on Mexico.
A certifcation of the whole South
and Central American policy of the
administration with the object in view
of stimulating friendship and trade in
that section:
A settlement of the Panama canal
tolls policy finally.
Resumption of negotiations with
Japan on the immigration question.

FOX TROT AT BUCKINGHAM
British Royal Family Take to the
Yank Jazz Music "Like
Ducks"

London May 16.-The latest Ameri-
can fox trots, two-steps and hesita-
tons, played by the Buckingham pal
ace jazz band" are now the rage with
the royal family. A pianist and two
violinists, recruited from the kings
band, are the artists now entertaining
new royal converts to ragtime and
jazz.
The music, or noise, is receiving the
commentator of Queen Mary for the
first time, as she has previously posi-
lively refused to allow these modern
steps displayed inside the palace.
The innovation is due to the Princess
Mary and the prince of Wales, who
coaxed their mother to permit them to
try fox trots at an impromptu party
given by the prince.

improvements at Point Pleasant
Madison Lake Times: Point Pleas
ant, Madison Lakes beautiful summer
resort, is going to be bigger and bet
ter than ever this year. The editor
called on the folks out there Sunday
and was shown the place. Improve
ments are on all sides, work and ex-
pense are not saved and this summer
a resort bigger and better will be
opened. Five dandy new cottages are
built, with unexcelled views OF Lake
Madison. Eight new additions to cot
tages have been made. The hotel din
ing room has been enlarged and a
dandy new sun parlor built. A unique
and beautiful fireplace is built in the
sun parlor. Big French doors swing
between dining hall and sun parlor.
Bigger swimming beach, more lock-
ers, together with a system of electric
lighting for the beach at night, are a
few additions also. For fact, we
can't tell you in one breath how big
is the undertaking, and how thorough
is it, but we say it's some Point
Pleasant and a place for Madison
Lake to be mighty proud of.
