N Motion Picture
 Director Discovers
 Bottonlless Pool

The discovery of a "bottomless'' pool in the bed of the middle fork of the San Joaquin river near Balloon Dome has been reported to the Cali fornia state fish and game commis- sion by William D. Taylor, the mo- tion picture director.
 Descent of granite cliff 1900 feet high was made by Taylor and his guide to reach the river, which runs for miles between unscalable preci- p5ces. Because of the velocity of the water Taylor was unable to reach bottom with a quarter of a pound or lead on his line. The pool, 150 feet wide and $50 feet long, is stocked with quantities of fy-hungry trout, Taylor says.
 Tracks of bear, deer, mountain lion and wildcat were found on the sandy shore, where they come tod rink. The Indians say that no human be- ing had ever stood before at the bot tom of the big ho1e.''

 Zn Promotion Of N0tio7a Thrift

Criminal prosecutions failed to do what the Patch Elm and Wear 'EIr2'' clubs did in the fight against extrav- agant buying of clothing at high prices, Palmer said.

WEST END.

''It is very difficult thing to an- alize success. Whenever a positive statement is made there is more or less refuting testimony. But it has really been my observation in the eleven years of work I have done for the screen that although beauty is a wonderful asset, and often furnishes an entre to the professional world and work, it is hardly self-sustain- ing" said Mary Pickford, who will be seen in Studs" at the West End thea tre tonight in her latest United Artists Corporation production, which is founded on the Charles F,rohrnan stage play, "'op O Me Thumb
 Some of the greatest successes of both sta ge and screen have been made by persons who do not possess any remarkable physical beauty.
