began with a low arch extending
from the west to southeast, simply
a band Of light. Within an hour
there were three sinuous curtains
! reaching from low In the southwest
to the zenith, constantly changing

the curtains were colored light red.

His duties will be similar to
those of Judge Landis in the
baseball world. He will begin
his term of office. on August /

The power he will yield will
be unprecedented in the theatri-
cal world. The association he
heads is composed of fifty-three
members among whom are all
the important producers in the

The producers selected him, it
was explained, because they

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-Back
today in his home city. United States
Senator Hiram w. Johnson hurled
defiance "at the same old gang in
the same old way"
The dominant personality which
has commanded respect of even his
enemies in his early political battles
in California was evidenced again in
the same forcefulness of speech and
fighting spirit characteristic of his
governorship days.
Arriving four hours late last night,
Senator Johnson was greeted by a
great throng. He assured them,
"weM do in this fight what we've
done in every fight since fN0."
As the senior California Senator
proclaimed that he would give blow
for blow and meet the enemy on
their own ground" the response of
the crowd rang out in cries of
Were with you" and That's the
stuff, Hiram"
From the moment the Senator's 8
train entered California 1t was a
continuous round of vociferous ova-
tions. His advisers and close
friends met him at Truckee. At Blue
Canyon another large delegation
boarded the train. At Colfax a local
delegation greeted the Senator. At

paralyzing rail and coal strikes ap-

For all practical purposes, the
railroads of the country, with their
100000 miles of tracks, were
merged into one gigantic system

move food and fuel above all else.

The Interstate Commerce Commits.

rules and regulations and to enforce
its fuel and food carrying orders
under heavy penalties.
The national emergency declared
by the commission, and the priority
ratings accorded shipments OF fuel
and food on all railroads, Govern.
ment officials believe, will reduce
public suffering and inconvenience
to the minimum. while at the same
time affording the Government a
breathing spell to figure on new
method of settling the strikes.
That the action through the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
only a poultice applied to the ag.

was generally recognized by Admin.

The cure can only come through

There were few indications today

Of restoring peace in either the rail

For the time being, 1t appeared
the administration is going to devote
its major efforts to insuring the
movement Of life's necessities, food
and fuel; to prevention of profiteer
ing. and to spreading out the avail
able coal supplies over as thin a
surface as is possible. At the same
time encouragement will be given tC

production in both union and non

Lowering, a civil engineer of Los Angeles, in testlfying before the Senate agricultural committee in sup port of Chairman Norris bill proposing a Government-owned corporation for development of the territory.
 Lowering declared that the commit tee should never accept private offer until one had been drafted on sound business basis.
 The Wilson dam and the nitrate plants" he said, "were built With sacred money gwen by the people dur ing the war. Some of it now is blood stained. All of it IS sweatstained by those of us who worked to win the war, and the projects that money made pos si ble ought to be retained by the Gov ernment, never to enter the possession of somebody who is stacker, or whose family is.
 Senator Norbeck, republican, South Dakota, asked if Mr. Lowering thought Henry Ford, who has submitted an offer, was embarking upon "another peace ship" expedition.
 That's just what 1 mean," the wit ness replied, adding that he doubted if MT. Ford had process by which the manufacture of fertilizers could be re- duced by one-half their present market prices.
 Senator Hefin, democrat, Alabama, sock issue with the witness, declaring that interests would keep 'anybody from developing Muscle Shoals unless he is like Ford and has his own money"
 Well" replied Lowering, Eff we have to go to one man for everything in this country, we ought to make him king.o
 He said much of the support given Mir. Ford's offer came from ''sucker money" explaining that spectators were already selling "lots at Muscle Shoals, next to Mr. Ford's factory"

NO DIVORCE EVIL
IN FA|RFAX COUNTY
Clerk HoIbrook Says But One
Case There in $40
Persons.

Now comes Fairfax county to ward
off any intimation of a divorce evil
that might besmirch her fair name.
Taking the figures as presented by
Z. r. Holbrook. deputy clerk of the
Fairfax circuit court. in statement
issued today, there was only one final
decree Of divorce for every $40 per-
sons in the county during 1921. But
that's just a mere matter of figures.
1t doesn't mean that residents within
the county have been coming forward
even at that rate to sever the mar
riage ties.
1T is natural for those persons liv-
ing in Washington and other places
where divorces are hard to procure to
go to the most convenient place and
establish residences, but l do not
know of a single case in this county
where any suggestion Of fraud has
been made" he explains.
During 1921, Mr.. Holbrook advises
suits, of which four were dismissed
on account of reconciliation. leaving
forty-two on the docket. During the
period covered by his statement, there
were thirty-five final DEGREES handed
down in 1921, and ten partial DEGREES,
total OF fOrty-hve. The discrepancy
between the two figures is due to the
fact that several cases were brought
forward from the 1920 docket.
Fairfax county is close to Washing
ton and Maryland. he explained. and
at least two-thirds of the people of
the county go to those places to be
married. Therefore, he said. it would
be unfair to compare the number of
divorces obtained in the county with
the number of marriage licenses
issued.
