 If the picture fan does not know the story of how Monte Brewster had to spend a million dollars to get five million left him by his grandfather, this will be a revelation. Monte. who has never had a dime of his own since he was a babe in arms, starts out to spend the million left by one grandfather because the other grand father is jealous and leaves Fatty playing the part of Monte Brewster five millions if he can turn the trick
 It looks easy to spend a million on paper, but YOU will laugh until you are exhausted at the efforts of Monte Brewster to get rid of his million. He spends money like water. He lights his cigars with it, he buys fool stocks that jump and make him more mon ey He backs a theatrical company, thinking it will go broke. and it turns into a gold mine.

joyable occasion Mr.. Ostergren was

David A. Brown of Detroit is the
man of the year. so far as American
Jews are concerned. Louis Marshall,
Nathan Straus, julius Rosenwald and
Felix M. Warburg were among the
leaders from thirty-6ve states who,
in a recent American Jewish Relief
Committee convention at Chicago, in
sisted that Mr.. Brown cancel passage
to Europe and accept the active chair
manship of a nationwide appeal for
$l4OO0,000 on behalf of disaster
stricken Jews overseas.
Mr.. Brown has risen dramatically
from a newsboy on the streets of De-
troit to become a financial and civic
power in that city and a nationally
known philanthropist. At his new
Office, 1903 Park Avenue, New York,
he attacked the task set for hinS with
characteristic vigor.

a waxy luster. Bentonite when
wetted win absorb more than three
times its weight or seven times its
volume OF water. The wetter ma
terial is exceedingly smooth and soft
and feels like soft soap. Some varie-
ties, when wetted with water, expand
to six or eight times their original
volume. Unlike most clays. ben
tonite is easily fusible at q COM
paratively low temperature. Com
mercial deposits Of bentonite occur in
the Laramie and Big Horn basins in
Wyoming: in San Bernardino and
San Diego counties. California: at
Ardmore and Belle Fourche, South
Dakota: and at various localities in
Montana. Arizona, Utah. Texas, Ten
nessee, Idaho and New Mexico.
Until very recently the uses for
bentonite were few and relatively un-
important, says the Bureau Of Mines
These seem to have been principally
in the manufacture of the medical
dressing. antiphlogistine; in the
manufacture of a packing and Dress
ing for horses hoofs; as a retarder
in the manufacture Of gypsum wall
plaster: as a filler in the manufac-
ture of paper: as fller in soap. and
as an adulterant in drugs and candies
1t is reported that some bentonites
make a superior adhesive paste, part
ticularly for sticking paper to metal
1t is claimed that labels pasted on
iron with bentonite will not curl up
and drop off. The great affinity Of
bentonite for water has suggested the
possibility Of devising a method for
using 1t to dewater crude petroleum.
Material OF the general nature Of ben
tonite has been used as a water soft
ener. 1t is not definitely known
whether all bentonites possess the
property of softening water, but the
usual presence of the alkaline oxides
suggests this possibility. II this
property Is common to all varieties it
is probable that other uses based
thereon may be devised. Other uses
suggested for bentonite are: as a base
for massage creams, base for the
precipitation of lake colors; a base for
printers ink: as heavy lubricant or
grease tmixed with oily: and as a
filler or dressing for leather. Con-
sidering the unusual physical and
chemical properties of bentonite,
production has been remarkably
small. During 1920 and 1921, inter-
est in bentonite greatly increased.
new deposits were opened, and it is
expected that the production will ex-
pand more or less rapidly. IT is re-
ported that powdered bentonite from
Wyoming and California would sell
in eastern markets at s25 to $50 per
ton in car lots.
