: Voices of City,
a Film Drama of
Uneven Merit
Picture at Capitol Often Holds
Attention, Then TOSseS
Interest Away.

Who dares say that women aren't as
good marksmen as men? Voices OF the
CITY," the Goldwyn picture at the Capt.
tol this week. proves they are even
spurred on hv an underworld boss who
wants to bag the sweetheart OF the
hero, shoots that young man from am
bush in San Francisco dive. but in
spite OF having all the time in the
world he only wounds the hero in the
watch pocket OF his vest instead OF a
little higher In the cigar pocket.
Not so the woman who does the shoot
ing, and who pops off a man in an i'm
promptu fashion with all the ease of
Annie Oakley. The heroine, believing
the hero has actually been killed, rushed
off to exact vengeance on the boss
without first taking the precaution TO
feel the youths pulse. hold mirror to
catch his breath or follow any of the
usual procedures prescribed in the first
aid books. She finds the boss at the
annual ball. which he is giving to his
underworld henchmen, and draws out
revolver from one OF those vanity bags
that seem to be so handy for feminine
assasslns
But the gun is snatched from her hand
at the last moment by the girl whom the
boss has rejected. and who saves the
heroine from doing the shooting. al
though the latter has supplanted her In
the Dukes affections. Despite the hurry
of pinch hitting for injured Innocence
at the last moment the Tilted girl shoots
the boss with brilliant precision. Thus
is another demi monde ball finished
with the conventional murder
This is the climax to picture OF
uneven merit that holds the attention

AUTOMOBILE TAGS
FOR 1922 ON WAY

E. P. Grain of the automobile reg
istration department at Bismarck re-
ports that the first shipment of the
1922 auto tags left the factory at
St. Louis December 20 and should
arrive in time to take care of early
applicants.
The new tag will have dash after
the tens of thousands enumeration,
thus 1888, or 105-655. The new
color scheme will be an orange back
ground with black numerals and let
tiers.
A contemplated improvement in the
department for 1922 is a system by
which cars-that is, non-Ford cars,
which number over half of the cars
in the state-are to be filed as to
their different makes, and in numer-
ical order of their engine numbers.
This will greatly facilitate that class
of searchers for Identification Of cars
where the only information is their
engine number. On several previous
occasions a search covering several
days has been necessary before pro-
per Identification could be made.

Eight deaths as a result of the

week were recorded Friday after 8
employees of the southern California
Edison company neraly overcome by
exposure and hunger had arrived at
the company headquarters and de-
scribed how fellow worker, John
H. Peterson had frozen to death while
delivering company documents valu-
ed at $4,000 from one camp to an
other. The three reported they had
been caught in a binding blizzard
and had been sonwbound for four
days.
This brings to mind what Sup
erintendent briggs of the School for
the Deaf said in a recent speech.
Mr.. briggs said that the people of
California have entered into a con-
spiracy to fleece the rest of the world
about climate and other things, and
are blind to their disagreeable weat-
her. They simply can't see their
climates many faults. Mr.. briggs

American Toy Making
A Growing Business

Toy imports will pay a duty of 40
per cent if the House provisions of
the pending tariff bill are accepted
by the Senate. In the Republican
tariff bill of 1909 toys were assessed
IS per cent duty.
The war eliminated Germany as a
competitor in the toy trade, and Jap
an has profited considerably by that
fact, especially in tho sale iii this
country of toys made Of wood. In
the calendar year 1920 we imp ,r:ed
nearly Sill 100000 worth Of toys.
The production of American toys
during 1920 reached about $8O,000,000
in value, having been built up remark
ably during the war. Some time ago
the president of the toy manufactures
association in the United States said:
"Of that total, $15,000,000 represented
the production of dolls ranging from
the stuffed cloth varity to the finest
quality throughout. Included in the
balance Of $65,000,O00 are playthings
of all kinds and all made of honest
materials, finest workmanship and
durability, combined with rlginality
of ideas and design and of truly ed
ucatioanl value that place them in a
class by themselves. just as carloads
Of toys are leaving Vermont, carloads
Of sleds are leaving Maine and Michi-
gan, carloads Of coasters wagons are
leaving New York, carloads of wheel
ed wagons are leaving the State Of
Ohio and enormous shipments Of dolls
are leaving New York City. If there
is any good reason why American
children should have foreign toys fore
ed upon them. I have never heard of
it. Toys are national to the country
Of their origin as they have been since
the days of the early Egyptians"
