 And in playing hockey, Wes' is said to lay the foundation for story that will appeal to every human being who has experienced the thrills, the pranks and the many disappointments of boyhood.
 For little Wesley, as the untama- ble and Irresponsible Speck Brown, loves the old swimmin' hole and his dog, "Hippy," more than all the wealth and education in the world. But he chances to meet wealthy uncle who induces him to pursue an education among the juvenile high brows in the east.

One Clear Call" is one of the best dramatic productions to be presented in Birmingham. and Mrs She'll, city amusement inspector. says 1t Is the greatest picture she ever saw.
 Conflict of emotions are recos- nizedly the strongest tentacle of story interest, and in presenting the First National attraction, One Clear Call" the Trianon theatre offers a striking example of this statement. emotional loyalty are depicted in this story which Is enacted in 8 small Alabama town.
 There Is the conflict on the part of the mother between love for her hus- band and love for the memory of a son whose name is never mentioned in the family. There Is the conflict on the part of the sons wife between loyalty for him and loathing towards the moral code he adheres to.
 And an important element of the story Is involved in the conflict be- tween the sons sworn friend towards the boy and love for the woman whom he is supposed to reunite him with.
 From this climax of emotions Di- rector John Stahl has had ample am intuition for a swinging narrative of continuous action and unusual heart interest. Advance reports in- dicate that the producer director has utilized this opportunity and pro duced a picture which, in respect to story interest, excellency of acting and technical production will live ur to the zenith of popularity estab- lished by his former success, "The Child Thou Gavest Me"
 The director has had one of the most meritorious casts ever assem- pled for screen production to work

By Associated Press

Caracas, Aug. 5.-The oil industry is greatly interested in the passage by the Venezuelan Congress of new petroleum law which is said to be more favorable than any previous similar law of this country. and to afford more workable conditions than any Latin American law governing petroleum development.
 Concessions for exploration are se- cured from the government in zones of 10000 hectares each. for a period of three years and for the payment of two cents per hectare as tax Within this period the contractor has the right to select up to one half of each zone for exploitation. There is practically ID limit to the amount of acreage allonew to one contractor. although there is nom- inal limit of 300,000 hectares for ex- ploration and one-haif this amount for exploitation. Above these amounts the financial ability of the purchaser governs.
 Terms Are Easy
 The exploitation period is 40 years instead of 80 years as formerly. An Initial tax or two DOStNdES pcI nct- tare or 16 cents per acre is payable at the Beginning of the exploitation period. and annual rentals of two bolivers per hectare are collected for the first three years. four bolivars per hectare for the succeeding 2l years and five bolivars per hectare for the remaining 10 years of ex- ploitation.
 Formerly the contractor was obliged to select his quota of acreage in parcels of 200 hectares each. in checkerboard fashion. leaving an equal area as a national reserve. Under the new law the parcels are of 500 hectares or 1.2s5 acres each and these may be grouped as desired.

In the wee small hours of the morning he runs away from his palatial residence, boards a freight train and finally arrives safely back in his old haunts. Once more he is happy, for he not only has his dog. but also his little sweetheart, and he can roam at will through ma ture's playground.

 Betty Blythe is peculiarly gifted for the playing of this role.
