~ morning by the management
Of the Rialto Theater stated
that William Fox had arranged 10
send that theater his film production
!, OF Mark Twain's. "A Connecticut Yam

ciated with the career and life of
the greatest OF American humorists.
It was shown In Hartford, Conn.
and also In Buffalo, where Mark

man. In England II was shown at
a special performance before the
King. In the contract for the ma.
king Of the picture 1t was agreed
that II must pass the executors of

publicly shown. and this was done
with the most favorable results.
Then It was given q special show
ing before Dan Beard, who Illus

for the veteran artists were also
present. r.t. g..
Mr.. Fox detailed to Emmett j.
Flynn. one Of his youngest and
most brilliant directors. the work of
making the picture. 1t Is said to
not only have preserved all Of the
delightful satire of Twain, but has
been entwined with dash Of modern
humor that is irresistible. y
Mr.. Fox stated in his wire that he
felt that before the picture went on
its regular tour II should have the
Endorsement OF social and official

the Rialto is for October 0. and the
opening will be made a gala event.

the terminals, wiring, etc. The bulbs
themselves may be at fault, though
both Of them seldom go out at once.

may be loose or the contact points
may be corroded. The wiring back to

q blown fuse may be the cause OF

vent excessive current burning out

Trouble sometimes develops in the
switch, caused by dirt, looseneSs, poor
adjustment or similar failings. The
switch should be inspected in case Of
trouble. The cut-out. which discon-
meets the battery from the generator

should be examined. The ordinary
cut-out is electromagnetically oper-
ated and the contact points must be
kept clean. The terminals must be
kept free from dirt and looseness.

RAILROAD DEBTS
BEING REFUNDED

WASHINGTON Dec. LIN his let
ter to Congressman Fordney urging
a low surtax on high incomes. Presi-
dent Harding made the interesting
statement that the war finance COR
poration has sold $100,000,000 rail-
road securities to pay the railroads
money owed them by the government.
A short time ago the chief executive
asked Congress for authority to sell
100000 worth Of securities the
railroads deposited with the govern
ment in payment for improvements
made while the government con-
trolled the roads. If congress grant
ed the request the roads would be
paid amounts due them, and the
roads Indebtedness to the govern
1nent would be postponed and would
be represented by the securities held
by the public. Strong objection to
this plan was made in congress and
the bill is in committee, although it's
passage is strongly urged by financial
interests.
Now it appears that the securities
are being quietly sold without con-
gressional action.

maternity BILL
IS FINALLY
After Long Delay House Passes
Senate Bill in Closing Hours
Of Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The house
passed the Sheppard-Towner mater
nifty bill by the surprisingly large
vote Of 279 to SO. The bill was ap-
proved by the senate last June.
Advocates Of tn bill show that
thousands Of mothers and babies die
annually through lack of maternity
education and knowledge Of the care
Of babies. The bill provides for the
government to stimulate and aid the
several states in promoting the well
fare and hygiene Of maternity and
infancy. The government will ap-
propriate approximately $1,500.O00
the first year to be divided among the
states according to population, pro-
viding the states themselves appropri-
ate an equal amount. The plan Of
education used by the states must be
Endorsed by the government. This
puts the movement on a solid basis,
and removes it from any danger Of
being controlled by faddists.
There Is nothing compulsory about
this education. which will be con-
Quoted through visiting nurses. elm
fcs for prenatal cases and consulta-
tion centers where mothers may bring
their babies for advice. If state
accepts the law. it is optional with
mothers to take advantage Of it.
