DAWES.

The greatest flood scenes ever flashed upon the screen. the collapse of huge sluice dam and the har- rowing experience of man who sought to close the locks. are but a few of the big thrills that go to make of matchless interest. Produced for RAG Pictures by the famous French director, L. J. Cashier. '"The Call of Home'' unfolds a story of poignant heart interest. combining romance and adventure in sufficient portions to satisfy even the most exacting en- thusiast.
 The scenes of the flood were filmed in the Colorado river region when and overran it's banks, causing wide spread destruction. This enabled MT. Cashier to film scenes that are nota- ble for their realism. The flood sccenes were filmed at great risk to the lives of several members of the cast, in particular Ramsey Wallace, who portrays the role of the husband, Garry Lansing. Wanace's life hung in the balance when he was flung off a big dam as the structure went to pieces before the onrush of thou sands upon thousands of tons of water. He pitched headlong into the torrent and was borne down stream half a mile before he was pulled out more dead than alive.
 Of still greater dramatic tensity is the havoc wrought by the raging waters as they engulf a small village and crush cabins and other structures that lie in the path of the flood. The fleeing natives who seek shelter in the highlands also lend a note of dra- matic suspense as they snatch up their belongings and scurry to safety.

USE MINUTE NEEDLE
 IN EMbR0IDERING
Finest Work in the World From China Exhibited in Washington

Washington, Aug, 23. (By Associ- ated Press)-Ancient Chinese ena- broidery work, far surpatsing the fin est of the present time, and which must have been done with a tiny needle much smaller than ever seen now, was on exhibition in Washing ton recently. So fine is the work that the finest details of the features of the figures represented were clear; the hairs on the mems boards, small in the littlest figures, even the nainutely worked long pointed finger nails and the eye lashes were SO per feet that to be appreciated, experts declared, they had to be viewed through a powerful microscope
 Smallest Needle.
 The smallest needle in the world which is itself much finer than the finest thread, is now in the National Museum here, yet the experts said, he Chinese work must have been lone with a needle slim enough to pass through the eye Of that needle
 Large Collection.
 The exhibit was q portion of the collection of Lady Georgiana Vizen- wife of Sir Vincent Vizen- ,inovich, senior judge of the interna- .ional court at Shanghai, The prize piece of the large collection consist d of eight Pah Hsien embroidered panels representing the eight Chinese m m ortals, which included the mi lute work described. They were made sometime during the Ming dynasty. more than 400 years ago.
 Fast Colors.
 A beauty of the old Chinese art which was pointed out in Lady Viz snzinovich's collection is the way in which the colors remain, assist in pre- serving the silk flores and retain their freshness through the ages. Lady vize nzinovich is credited with being , foremost authority on Chinese ar .istry and her collection is one of the most remarkable in the world, It .akes just 150 trunks to transport it.

RULING WILL AID
 CIVIL WAR WIDOWS
Secretary of Interior Clears Up
 Several Controversies

Washington. August 23 (By the As- sociated Press)-The secretary of the interior has just rendered very in- teresting opinion relating to former widows of veterans of the civil war.
 Under the act of May 1, 1920. such widow must show that all subse- quent marriages have been dissolved and, in case of divorce. that the same was obtained without default on her part. The records of the courts of the various states, both under the act of 1920, and prior legislation, have been accepted by the Bureau of Pen sions and conclusive where the hus- band obtained the divorce from the wife, as showing fault on the part of the wife.
 The secretary now rules, however, that where the husband moved into some other state than that where the wife resided and obtained service by publication, and there Is nothing in the record to show actual service on the wife, the wife would be entitled to make a showing that she was not at fault and that such showing could be made in the Pension Bureau It. self.
 The case in which the decision was rendered is that of Mary M,, as for mer widow of William Keaton, who died in 1879 Several years after ward the widow married a man named Irwin, in Missouri Irwin sub sequently moved to Oklahoma, and in 1904 obtained a divorce without knowledge on the part of his wife.
 Under the former practice, the widow would be denied the pension vorce Under the present ruling, the widow will be entitled to make a showing. as matter of fact, that she was not at fault.
 Another interesting opinion of the secretary is in the reversal of a de- clsion of the Bureau of Pensions and the permission of q pension to Clai- borne Beaty, of Captain David Beaty's company of scouts.
 Captain David Beatty organized his scouts in 1862 and the company rem dered service under the command of the army of Tennessee through the ClNll war The troops, however, were never mustered into the regular mill tary service of the United States, and | the scouts had no status i under the pension laws.
 In 1870, however, an act was passed | for the relief of Beatys scouts, eiv- ing them the same status as other soldiers. The pension bureau, never .heless, held for many years that this lid not permit of pensions to the scouts, except as to prior legisln- ion. Secretary Fall has now decided hat under the language Of that act he benefits of the pensions laws, whether passed prior to that time or since. come within the purvieU of hat act and that the scouts are en- titled to relief hereunder.

MINING ACTIVITIES
 START IN ALASKA
Readjustment of Wages Brings
 About Normalcy There

Anchorage, Alaska, Aug. 23 (By the Associated Press) -Readjustme 0, wages bringing a close approach tt normalcy as applied to mining ha: resulted in a return of the pendulum toward greater mining activity thar has been experienced in the history of Alaska since the boom days.
 While the Alaska railroad wa: building it was impossible to obtain help for mining operations owing tc the good wages in railroad construc- ton. Even now there is a general shortage Of miners throughout the territory and every man of experience who care to be is employed Mining takes on an entirely different con, plexion than of a few years ago; at- tention is being given to gaining ac- cess to known placer deposits suit able for hydraulic and dredges, and aside from this phase of the placer situation there is little doing save where old-tiners have little piece of ground from which they may sluice out a grubstake for the winter, and who do not care to take out a for tune.
 Much Quartz Mined.
 The other phase Of the renaissance in mining is confined to quarts, and judging by the encouraging discov- cries, the apparent permanency Of ore bodies and ability to mine economic ally, the outlook for quartz is excel lent
 Additional prospecting in the Will low Creek district has disclosed a more extended area, and as rapidly IS trails and roadways are extended the prospector is bringing commercial properties into being.
 { So great has become the lure of the hills that almost all the populous centers along the railroad are under going midsummer quietude, every one who has grubstake and many engaged in other lines of business taking advantage Of the ideal condi- tions in the hills to combine a plets- ure trip with prospecting.
 How much does it go to the pan" has been supplanted by What does it run to the ton" and how is the crop looking?"
 Even when big cleanup come in there is no excitement, as these things are becoming everyday occurrences.
 Alaska Needs Capital.
 Alaska at present needs more inter est in quartz mining, especially from outside capital, 1t is stated, for local capital is carrying the peak of de- velopment and the lack of larger capital is retarding rapid develop ment.
 Geological survey engineers are now making recognizances along the rail road belt and the result of their find ings is expected to have a tremend- ous effect upon all classes of mining, and a boom is looked for as soon as these reports are made known.
 Alaska is no place for the wildcat ter. for the communities are arrayed against spurious promotions, and all efforts to float such enterprises are baked by the public and press.

DEPT. BREEDING FOOD GIVING COWS
Some of the Animals Give Enough
 Milk to Suffice 30 Children

1 Washington, Aug 23. tBy Associ- ated Press) )- Breeding a dairy COW that will give enough milk to feed 30 children a day, more than six times the capacity of the ordinary COW, is one of the feats Of the industry which has been accomplished by the [. s. department of agriculture, and which can be done by proper feeding and selective breeding On it's experiment tai form near Beltsville, Md, the de- partment has a herd Of six COWS, the result of breeding work, that have produced an average Of more than ,ooo pounds Of milk in 365 days This little herd yields enough milk to provide a quart a day to ITO chill dren.
 Ordinary Cows.
 An ordinary COW or scrub produces only enough milk to feed 5 children quart a day while good COW yields enough to give 20 children a quart a day. The supercow, as the department calls her, and there are more and more of them in this class every year, gives enough milk so that Slldll NeEQ illSIl edsllS Supply this quantity to all the small chill dren in a small town.
 Profit For Dairymen
 The improvement of dairy COWS means more than increased profits to the dairyman the department de- clares, it means cheaper and more milk, the best bone and muscle mak- CT for children Good breeding and good feeding have made the differ ence. What this means is brought out forciby in a poster prepared by the department which is available to all those interested in the subject,
 In the same connection, the de- partment shows that culing the pou- try flock to get rid of all birds except the vigorous, prolific layers, results in noticeable improvement in the progeny, as well as in an increase of eggs.
 Hens and Eggs
 Recent experiments with the poul- try at the Beltsville farm showed that the late moulters selected from a flock of 100 Rhode Island Reds in the fall of 1920 laid seven more eggs per bird during their second year than the original flock of bullets. They were, used as breeders the fol- lowing spring and the first red pull lets to commence laying in the fall of 1921 were found to be the off spring of these late moulting hens Their bullets in a period of seven months have already averaged about two dozen eggs per bird more than the original flock.
 Value of Product
 It is not alone in number of eggs
