"YHE ST0RM" IS
DYNAMIC FILM STORY

House Peters Stars in Screen Version
OF Great Stage Success.
After ALL picture is essentially a
story, and the plot therefore is the
most important element. '"Thc story's
the thing
'"The Storm coming as Univer-
sal-Jewcl attraction starring House
Peters, to the Princess Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday, was adapted
from the New York stage sensation Of
the same name. Theatrical history
was made by the play, written by Lang
don Mccormick. 1t is grippingly dra-
matte, and besides the elements OF sim
pie drama there is woven into it the
theme Of two kinds Of fear that men
| may feel toward women.
One man in the triangle of the story
is afraid Of women because he knows
nothing Of them, has never seen any
thing Of them. He's woodsman,
promitive and honest.
The other Is the product Of London
and Paris society. EIe fears the gen
tie sex because he has "seen too
darned much Of women"
The woman in the case is an inno-
cent french Canadian girl, forced to
live with the two men for four long
months through being hemmed in by
a snow-storm.
On this novel situation Mccormick
constructed story that holds the in
terest to the last by it's very unusual
ness.
The reproduction Of the Snow-storm
scene and the devastating forest fire
establishes new records for sensation
alism and thrills, even in these blase
days. Throughout the action Direc-
tor Barker has maintained the element
of suspense so splendidly that even
the most thrill-proof movie fan is go
ing to sit spell-bound. Nothing like
1t has ever before been presented and
it Is easy to understand the glowing
commentator heaped on picture and
drama alike by the metropolitan press
OF the country.
Virginia Valli Is the girl and Matt
Moore is the Londerer, while Peters
brings his many directness and emo
tionalisn. to bear on the starring role
Of the woodsman. Josef Swickard and
Frank Lanning have supporting roles.

TESTS TO MINISTRY
ARE MADE HARDER
Methodists Change Policy to
Improve Standard of
Preachers.

ATLANTIC CRY, March 1S.--Examina-
tions were held here last week which
will mark a revolution in educational re-
Quirements for the Methodist ministry.
according to leaders of the denomina-
tion. Heretofore men without college or
seminary advantages who have preached
on trial have been admitted to the min
i5try after submitting reports or pre-
scribed reading. This plan has been re-
placed by correspondence course sup
plcmented by summer school and cul-
minating in examinations.
The examinations held here were the
first under the new plan. Undergradu-
ates failing in the examinations will re-
main on trial until examinations are
passed. 1t is believed the new system
will bar from the ministry many made
quately educated men who hitherto have
been slipping in, Methodist leaders say.
H. represents virtual reversal Of the
former policy.
At the same time an effort Is made
to provide efficient guidance for candi-
dates with the will and ability to repair
lack of advantages by systematic study.
The plan was decided upon by the Gem
eral Conference.
The course of study, which Is directed
by the Rev. DR.. Allen McRossie OF New
York. Is mapped out by a commission
appointed by the General Conference
under the supervision of a committee OF
bishops appointed by the board of
bishops Written work is submitted
through the year by the candidates to
a board of examiners for criticism, cor
rections and suggestions. Summer
schools have besn established In over
forty-five conferences. They are con-

Wet Weather Delays
Spring Work on Farms

Washington. April l3.-Seeding OF
spring grains has been delayed and
is much behind the average season
as a result OF frequent rainfall for
more than a month in most OF the
interior valley states, according to
the weekly weather and crop review
issued by the Department OF Agricul-
turc. Very little spring wheat or
oats was seeded during the week.
Warm weather and wet soil caused
rapid growth OF winter wheat
throughout the interior OF the coun-
try and satisfactory conditions and
progress were reported in the SOUTH
crn and Atlantic coast states.
Termination and growth of corn
was favored by high temperatures. in
tho southern districts, but much re-
planting in Texas because of low
lands in Texas because OF floods.
Corn planting made satisfactory
progress in most Of the southeast,
but was delayed by wet soil in the
