THE LOST ROMANCE"
BEAUTIFULLY STAGED

A beautiful setting, built after the
Spanish type of architecture, and
costing several thousand dollars
forms the background for the prin-
cipal scenes in William de Miles lat
est Paramount production, "The Lost
Romance" which opens at the AL
cazar theater Thursday for two days
run.
The setting is supposedly located
in the mountains of California and
consists of three large rooms, with
a beautifully finished exterior and
gardens. These gardens are the per
feet handiwork of skilled landscape
decorators. Climbing vines, flowers,
graceful trees are beautifully arrang-
ed, and a pretty fountain graces the
center of the little patio. All of this
was set up on the studio stage floor.
Romance is the outstanding theme
of the picture, and the setting, which
is supposedly the home of Aunt Bet
ty, pretty woman of mature years

LITTLE WORK
BEFORE LEAGUE
Tacna-Arica Dispute To
Brought Up At Re
quest Of Bolivia

GENEVA, July 27--The agenda
of the next meeting of the assembly
of the League of Nations to be held
here September 5 is not expected
to contain any new subject Of par
ticular importance, though the mem
bers still have time to submit any
subjects they would like to have dis
cussed.
Thus far there is only one item
put on the agenda at the request of
a member, the Tacna-Arica dispute,
which will be listed at the request
of Bolivia.
Not many such requests are expect
ed, most of the work that will come
before the popular body of the league
being the outgrowth of work already
begun, such as disarmament, the In
ternational court and the continue
ton of work that was referred to
special commissions such as the fight
against the white slave traffic,
against opium and for better transit
facilities.
AS the work in sight stands, the
order of business, with such ,modifi-
cations as may be made necessary by
subsequent requests of members, will
be:
Organization of the assembly: re-
ports of special committees appoint
ed at the request of the first as
sembly including amendments to the
covenant; registration Of treaties;
the economic blockade and provision
al 8
league including the financial com
mittee's report on the scheme to re-
susciate Austria; ! election of II!
judges for the International court 4
the reduction of ornaments; Boliv-
las request for mediation in the Tao
na-Arica dispute; election of four
temperament members of the coun-
Gil of the league; admission Of new
members.
Hungary is thus far the only new
applicant for membership of the as
sembly but there are in suspense thei
previously filed applications ofAat- |
via, Lithuania, Ukraine 9zerbaiian, |
Georgia, Armenia, and Lichtenstein.
1t is regarded as practically GER
tain in league circles that the as
sembly will be called upon to pass
on the admission of Germany. No;
intimation has been received Of AMI
intention on the part of Germany tot
make an application herself, but sew
eral delegations it is expected will
be ready to propose her, taking as |
an argument for admission the fact |
that the present German cabinet has
shown its intention to Loyalty execute
the country's obligations. |
Germany is expected to have the j
support of Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, |
Switzerland and Scandinavian coun-
tries as we'll as that of some of the |
South American delegations.

PLAN TODISPEL
BANKS MYSTERY
Lectures Prepared For
Delivery In Public
Schools

/
MINNEAPOLIS, July 27.-Plans
| of the American Bankers Association
to dispel mystery about banking ~
the public thought by taking the bank
| to the public school this fall were
outlined to the American Institute
of Banking here today by John Pue-
icher of Milwaukee. Mr.. Puelicher
is chairman Of The associations com
mittee on public education.
By showing that they occupy a use
| full place in society, the bankers hope
to cut the foundation from under
! radicalism that thrives on ignorance
! of the services of the banking bust
/ ness, he said.
"Ten lectures on banking have
been carefully prepared, one for each
month of the school year, starting
with next September" Mr.. PdellcheT
related "The banker nearest the
school is to deliver the lectures to the
7th and 8th grades of the common
school, to the high school and The
college. he will simply refer to the
outlines for ideas and background,
localizing the story, using llustra-
tons and incidents familiar to tie
children.
"He will show them specifically
what banking is, telling them abou
its origin and its purpose in our COM
mercial scheme. Then, after two or
three visits, the banker will invite the
school children to the bank and per
nit them to visualize that which has
been talked about
"The lecture outlines have been
sent to the superintendent of pub
lie institutions Of al our states and
to many others ii the teaching no
fession. Scores .of letters have been
received from educators approving
of the plan and promising active
cooperation.
Many financial magazines have
agreed to publish each north the
lecture to be delivered the following
month. Text book publishers are
planning to enlarge chapters on
banks and banking in the treatises
on economics. School boards have
agreed to endorse the work"
and Mrs. Quimby Melton at their
home in Jacksonville, will arrive
home today. 1t is expected that Mrs.
Melton will accompany her here.
