A portion of the jungles Of Ger
man East Africa were duplicated in
an exterior setting built on the
Lasky ranch near Hollywood, Cal,
for scenes in George Melford's pro-
duction, The Great Improvisation

In as much as a trip to a tropical
jungle would have cost a tremeu-
dous sum 1t was decided to build a
jungle to order. A site was select
ed and trees and tropical foliage
were transported to the spot. Sew
eral days were consumed in the
preparation of the setting. which
was set up under the supervision
of Rudolph Bylek, technical expert
for George Melford productions,
The jungle was so realistic that
George Medford, the director, was
badly scratched in trying to pene-
trate 1t. and he ordered some of the
briars removed.
The story, written by +. Phillips
Oppe1heim, deals with two men. a
German and an Englishman. whu
resemble each other greatly and in
its development one is carried from
England to Africa, thence to Ger
many and again TO England. The
situations are thrilling and there
isn't dull moment in the picture

The Outlook.

Opinion regarding the trend of money
rates during the next few weeks differs
widely. In many quarters bankers are
found to be positive that easy money
and rates below 6 per cent. have ar
rived to stay, but possibly in more ex-
perienced circles there Is a disposition
to wait for evidence of the effect Of the
paying off by member banks Of their
borrowings from the reserve banks,
which aggregate $2,000.0 100000 approx
imately for the United States as whole.
No doubt the contraction In business
and the change to lower commodity
prices with increased efficiency In trans
portation have contrived to create idle
money in various parts of the country,
with an especial flow Of funds to New
York. 1t is pointed out, however, that
the continual borrowings by the Treas
ury Department on certificates of in
debtedness and the necessity Of liqui-
dating rediscounts with the reserve
banks are not conducive to money rates
for any considerable length of time be-
low 6 per cent.

COCKROACH RACES
 LATEST NEW SPORT
ConStantinopIe Good Place to / Get Action on Bank Roll
 at Most any Time
By Associated Press

Constantinople, June 11.--Betting on cockroach races is one of the new est sports here. It was introduced by a Russian who has just opened a hall where a man who wants some real excitement for his money can get results.
 The hall is darkened at the mo- ment the race is to begin. Then single electric light at tho end of a runway is turned on, and the cock reaches, each in a separate track, are let loose from their cages to race for the light.
 More real, old-fashioned, non-pro- fessional sport may be had here than in any other city of Europe. This is due in part to the allied troops of oc- cupation. to the American officers and sailors on station here, and the large number of American and Brit ish civilians who have come out for business since the armstice.
 What the Russian refugees have done in the way of enlivening the city with concerts, dancing places and queer restaurants, the other allies have done in sporting, lines.
 In winter there is wild boar, duck and fox hunting. There IS also, III and out of season, plenty of horse- back riding over the dirt roads and unfenced stretches of upland country on both sides of the Bosphorus. Horse races are often held.
 Both the British and the Americans have laid out golf courses. There are also a few tennis courts.
 The. troops and sailors within the city have taken charge of large field near Taxim, in the center or Pera, and there play football ana baseball matches. Yachting ana swimming are commonplace sports open to all.
 The Russians from the Black sea- who are accustomed to bathe naked have increased the popularity of the beaches, especially fine strip or sand on the Marmora north snore known as Floria. There, without iet or hindrance, men, women and chii- dren undress on the open beach ana bathe in costumes that seem quite here.
 The Turks have contributed chicken fights to the international sports.
