HAROLD IIIOYD'S FUNNY
PLAY, NOW OR NEVER"
STILL AT THE PASTIME

Hurry UP to the Pastime theater
and see Harold Lloyd now, or
never will you have another such
opportunity to forget your trou-
bles and revel in the sense of COM
plete relaxation and happiness that
permeates ones being when en-
tertained by Lloyd.
Now or Never" is three reels
of Harold Lloyd at his best. No
higher praise could be given any
comedy. From the time the be-
goggled comedian appears on the
screen in one of the funniest au-
tomobile escapades this reviewer
has ever seen, to the final fade
out, Now or Never" hardly gives
gives your face chance to relax
from a roaring laugh into grin.
And, as Is always true of the Lloyd
brand of fun, 1t is clean and gen
uine.
The action, except for a few
opening scenes, takes place in a
train or, more truthfully on train,
for the agile comedian Is in 1t, on
top of it, and under it, and gives
you several gasps and thrills. HIS
efforts to amuse a precocious four
year-old girl left in his charge, to
rat her to sleep, and then to get
her dressed, are as full of human
interest as they are of humor;
while his antics in the Mushroom
are a riot.
In connection with the above,
the management is repeating 1.-THE
Highest Law" with Ralph Ince as
the leading star.

SENATE COMMITTEE is
TOLD OF PLIGHT OF
FORMER SERVICE MEN
(By The Associated Press.>

Washington, June 23.-Numer-
GUS complaints of delays in the
granting of compensation to for
mer service men today were pre-
scented to the senate investigating
committee. In some instances a
year elapsed, the committee was
told, before relief was obtained,
and then the ratings given gener-
ally were unsatisfactory.
Seventy such cases were sub
mitted by T. j. Williams of Buffa-
10, N. Y, himself temporarily to-
tally disabled because of wounds.
Many former service men now in
government and contract hospitals
are in need Of clothing and are de-
pendent on charity for many of
the necessaries of life, according to
letters filed by Senator Walsh,
democrat. Massachusetts.
That bribery and tipping for
privileges was common practice in
the government and contract hos
pitfalls, was stated by witness
whose name was withheld. He dis
played about fifty checks, repre-
senting approximately $500, used,
he said, for such purposes.

major leagues. The number OF
total stolen pases mas decreased
rapidly, more so in the American
league than in the National, which
now has replaced the junior circuit
as the leading base stealing organ
ization.
In 1912 there were 1910 stolen
bases in the American league, 1,450
in 1915, 906 in 1919 and only $50
last year. Thus far this season
there have been 1877 thefts, at the
ratio of only SOL for the season or
little more than one-fourth the
number in 1912. Where Clyde Mi
Ian led the league in 1912 with SO
thefts and Cobb in 1915 with 96,
the leader last year-Sam Rice
stole only So, and George Sisler
with AZ was the only other man 20
pass the rs mark. Eight years ago
there were nearly 80 men with
more than rs stolen bases each.
The National league runners,
originally stealing fewer bases than
their American league rivals, now
are ahead of the junior circuit. In
1912 there were 1876 stolen bases
in the National, 1214 in 1915, 1866
in 1919 and 500 last year. The
ratio thus far this year would bring
654 for the season if continued to
the end-little more than one-
third as many as in 1912.

FIRE DESTROYS
BARELAS STORE
OWNED BY GOMEZ
Loss Placed At About $20,-
600; Water Pumped
From River; Flremen
Save Gasoline Tanks.

Fire almost completely de-
stroyed the home of Frank Gomez
and the adjoining general store OPP
Grated by the Gomez-O' Bannon
Mercantile company at the north
west corner Of Third street and
Bridge Road last night shortly af-
ter II o'clock. Mr.. Gomez estimat-
ed the loss at close to $4,000. He
stated last night that this was but
slightly covered by insurance.
The fire was first noticed by
neighbor, who wakened the Gomez
family, sleeping in their rooms at
the front of the large building. By
the time the alarm was turned in
the fire had gained considerable
Roadway near the central portion
of the roof. The lowland depart
ment answered the call and arriv-
ing on the scene, found the entire
building a sheet of flame. Some
household furniture was saved, but
the entire stock Of merchandise
was lost.
Heroic efforts of the firemen
prevented the fire from reaching
the small section of the building,
which was used as gasoline sta
ton. The adjoining store, north
Of the Gomez property. was also
saved, although neighbors carried
out most of the furniture and mer-
camille stock, anticipating that the
building would ignite from its blaz-
ing neighbor.
Connection with the Rio Grande
was necessary before the firemen
could fight the flames, as that part
of Barelas is not in the city linz
its and is not supplied with fire
plugs, the last one being at Crom-
well street, several blocks north
of Bridge street. The water was
pumped by the city fire pump,
heavy stream being available. once
it was started.
AS there are no street lights In
that vicinity, the firemen had to
fight the fire, after the illuminat-
ing blaze had been extinguished,
by the aid of lanterns.
Earlier in the evening, small
blaze at the home of Frank Baca,
1906 North Third street. was ex-
tinguished. The fire was caused
by lamp overturning.

ATTACK IS MADE
ON COVENANT OF
NATIONS LEAGUE
Many Existing Difficulties
Due to Allies Taking the
Wrong Turn in Making
Peace, Says Curzon.
lBz The AssocInted Press.l

London, June % (by the Associ-
ated Press.)-An unexpected at
tack on the league Of nations was
made in the house of lords tonight
by Lord Curzon, secretary of state
for foreign affairs. He declared
that many existing international
difficulties were due to the allies
having taken the wrong turning in
the making of peace, and he ut
tered a strong appeal for the ut
most American cooperation with
the allies.
Language Is Ambiguous.
The foreign secretary's speech
was made during a general discus
sion on mandates, in which he adj
mitted that parliament was enti-
tied to more information, but he
said this was subject involved in
obscurity. The language of the
covenant was such that not even a
trained lawyer knew what 1t
meant. Lord Curzon was inclined
to think there was a mistake in
policy, when the allies met in Par
is, in their desire to formulate the
league. They rushed almost with
precipitation, he said. to discuss
questions which it now was seen
would better have been solved by
being postponed. He held the
opinion that if, instead of taking
up the better regulation of the
world, they had endeavored to Sc
cure the peace of the world as II
then was I'VE should have beer
much further advanced in the con-
ditions of peace"
Lord Curzon said that circum'
stances beyond the British gov.
ernment's control and prevented
the submission Of mandates to the
Washington government in the
manner the latter required.
He believed there would be fur
Their postponement of the discus
sion on mandates. Expressing the
governments pleasure over the re-
newed American interest in Euro
pean affairs, he said the more CO.
operation in the manner best suit
ed to Americas own feeling was
granted the better it would be fol-
the worlds peace.
Reason in Harding's View.
Lord CurZon declared there was
force and reason in President Hard
ings view that America was emit
tied to be consulted before the
mandates could be settled and he
believed that the league was like
ly to reply that, holding that view
themselves, they would decide tc
postpone consideration and trus
that the other governments con-
cerned would communicate will
the American government before
the meeting Of the assembly II
September.
