It may be its literary value. it may be it's sub ject. or it may be the chord that il tainly the "Old Oaken Bucket" a very simple and homely poem, is known wherever the English language is spoken and the simplicity and qual- fly that has made it live in the hearts and minds of the public has been successfully caught fby the camera and transplanted to the screen.

 Everyone seems to agree that next to perfection in production, the chief requisite for a perfect motion picture is real honest-to-goodness story. It's D. w Griffith has based his latest photodrama for the United Artists re- tease, and this wonderfully dramatic production. "The Love Flower" will be a feature at the West End Thea tre tonight.
 The story is filled with an endless amount of action and suspense and is conceded to be one of the most dramatic stories that has ever been produced by MT. Griffith. The story was exceedingly popular when it was run in Golfers Weekly, it being from the pen of Ralph Stock. Richard Barthelmess is the star.

CLIMAX EXPECTED INHARDCOAL AREA

Davis Warns Country of Fuel Shortage--Government to Control Allocation
 of Cars

Washington. August 11.--Predic- tion that the situation in the anthra- cite coal region would "come to a climax In less than week from to- day" was made today at the White House by spokesman for the ad- ministration. No comment, how- ever, was forthcoming as to what dcyoiopinenls- were sex pee ted.
 How soon negotiations to end the suspension of work In the anthracite fields might be expected was not re- vealed by officials but the opinion was expressed at the White House that a settlement had been delayed because of negotiations pending in Cleveland for termination of the bituminous strike.
 Secretary Davis declared that the country faced shortage of anthra- cite coal which could not possibly be made up within the next year. There was a shortage of at least 30,000, 900 tons, according to the latest reports. he added.
 The central coal committee will not hesitate to refuse priority orders for fuel to mines which do not con form with the Hoover fair prices, Fuel Distributor Spencer said today.
 Operators generally, he declared. are cooperating in maintaining the agreed fair prices, but while the federal organization has no "big stick" to club profiteers into line. 1t can control allocation of freight cars.
 Settlement of the strike in some parts of the central competitive field. if effected at Cleveland. he asserted. probably would necessitate fair price arrangements with the operators of those mines.
