tion on the Jones -Mapes bill in re-
lation to the $3.50 fiscal relations

Jones, of Washington, and King, of
Utah. and Representatives Mapes, of

sixth member, met and discussed the
measures in desultory way, but
arrived at no conclusion. 1t was
lntimated that an agreement prob
ably will be reached, and that an
other meeting would be held next
week
For many years the Federal gov
ernment had shared equally the ex-
penses of the District, but the House
put through a bill fixing the 60-4O
plan by which the Federal govern
ment pays only 40 per cent Of the
expenses. In the Senate the $3.50
plan was restored and is now a fea-
ture of the District appropriations
bill which recently passed the SEN
ate and went to conference Sena-
tor Jones introduced a bill at the
last session providing that the Fed
eral government pay half the ex-
penses of the District with, restric-
tions against estimates OF twice the

1t is a fitting tribute to the ma
lion to pay not only to its unknown
dead. but to all who gave their lives
or risked their lives in France.
There has been no national express
sion since the war ended to give
The people an opportunity to show

sFhe ceremony should be as i'm

At the Grand Theatre

vii be the attraction at the Grand
theatre today only.
Although writers and explorers
have torn the veil of mystery from
almost every portion of the globe the
South Pacific is still dotted with I'M
chartered islands, and it is in this at
mosphere thai: Fred Leroy Granville
has laid the scenes of his latest
screen feature.
In 'The Shark Master Frank
Mayo has the role of Arthur Deane,
junior partner of the shipping firm
Of Marston and Deane, atfianced to
the beautiful daughter of his senior
r.artner and. at the opening of the
story, about to make his farewell
inspection cruise of the firms South
Pacific trading stations before mar
rying June Marston and settling
down.
The schooner is caught in a tropic
hurricane. the crew mutin1es, and al
though Deane subdues the sailors af-
with all hands. Deane is washed
on the Island Of Amanu where
some fifteen years before the sea had
gwen up q white child who had
been adopted by the natives, chris
tened The Flame Flower. and made
tabu against all men by the chief.
THE Flame Flower. though of white
blood. is a wild thing of the jungle
and knows no laws ave that of ma
ture. She is attracted to the hand
Some derelic- whose skin is the same
foler as her own and she lays siege
20 his heart. Deane is constant to
the image OF June Marston and waits
patiently for a passing sail that
might bring him back TO civilization.
stirring situations follow fast in
each others wake. leading to q
climax that is uttery unexpected yet
en.irely logical.
