Specifically it deals with a girl and
her fiance. Having seen the film once,
she insists on seeing 1t the second
time. He goes to sleep.
Then she turns her home into an
Arabian nightmare and longs for hot,
passionate love, even as many little
girl longed after she had seen the
handsome Valentino In the film.
The fiance and the girls father put
her to sleep and carry her out to the
burning sands that lie just beyond
Hollywood There they find the rem
nants of desert properties left by
thirteen companies that have produced
desert pictures.
The fiance, disguised as a sheik.
throws her upon a sway-back horse.
She is thrilled by this adventure and
when he takes her to his tent she
assumes the aggressive in the love-
making. Her ardor cools when he
taints his breath with onions.
Having been ropulsed by the girl.
he traded her to another sheik. The
latter is her father, also in disguise.
Then the jealous queen of the ha-
rem pursues her with long knife.
The sheik rescues her and pitches
a tent in the desert to shelter her.
A movie wind machine is brought
into play. 1t blows the tent down
and fills the girls eyes with sand.
She faints.
Carried back to her home and re-
vived. she loses her prediction for
a life Of burning sands and hot love.
The satire in THE Son Of a SheiR'
is not so subtle as that contained in
"Colc Feet" another Christie comedy
that lampooned the movie. Probably
for that reason it will have wider ap-
peal. Since it strikes directly at the
public which will see it, it's humor will
probably be more appreciated.
This comedy reaches a, high level
of production. Its scenes are just as
beautiful as those Of the various fea-
ture pictures dealing with desert
themes. It's story is more interesting
than most of them and it's burlesque
portrayal Of desert life just as true to
life as that Of films which sought
seriously to reproduce that life,
Hymns OF hate have been sung in

These spring from jealous hearts
that despise him because he slicks
his hair, because he is too rough in

love, because he has ugly ears, be-
cause he is so handsome, becauTe he
is immature, because he is sophisti-

Leaders PrOrogue Question
of Effect Prohibition Has on Morality

"The reasons for the decreased rate
are obvious: First. we had an infiu-
enza epidemic IN the early months
Of 1920 which caused the death rate
Of that year to be high. We had no
such epidemic in 1921.
Second. an abnormally large
amount of new business was written
in 1920, and the death rate On this
insurance was low in 1921, as we
would expect in the first year after
selection.
There are no prohibition laws in
Great Britain. and yet there the death
rate of the whole population was
lower in 1921 than in 1920. which was
the previous lowest on record.

FIGHT AGAINST JIM REED
BIZ C. C. LYON


WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.x-When
wet Missouri voteth dry, then do
the leaders of the Anti-Saloon League
of America here rejoice with exceed
ing joy and say, one to the other. that
the fight Of the vets for the return
of light wines and beer is as sound
ing brass and tinkling cymbal--it
riseth up in the morning and in the
evening it is cut down and is no
more.
I'm other WORDS says Wayne B.
Wheeler, who is chief counsel for the
league, and so dry that even his
voice creaks, wasn't that a gosh
awful walloping we gave 5em in Mis-
souri,?
"In Missouri the issue was clear
cut; for light wines and beer or
against them. Our side was hapdi-
capped by the fact that William
Sacks, the wet candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for United States
Senator, didn't divide the wet strength
with any one else. while three dry can
didates were against him.
Points to Female Vote
I'VE consider the victory Of r. r.
Brewster, one of the drys, over Sacks
to eshow conclusively that the peo-
pie OF this country won't stand for
the return Of liquor in any form.
If the vets couldn't win in Missouri.
in what other State can they hope to
win? They seem to forget that the
women now vote and that the wom-
en- are overwhelmingly for a dry ma.
ton"
From the dry standpoint here it is
considered highly significant that the
Democrats of the Eighth CdissourD
district should nominate Mrs. st. Clair
Moss. presldent-emeritus OF Christian
College, Columbia. for Congress. Mrs.
Moss is characterized as an ardent
Prohibitionist." The district, in the
Republican landslide Of 1920, sent SID

but it is normally Democratic by

predicts.

MINE rs LIVES
SAVED BY USE
Of NEW DEVICE
Federal Bureau Adopts French
Geophone for Detecting
Remote Signals.
WAS PERFECTED IN WAR
instrument Found Effective
Means of Locating En-
tombed Laborers.
By United Press


WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-An'
nouncement of the invention Of new
instrument to save the lives OF in
tombed miners has just been made by
the Bureau of Mines.
The geophone, an instrument used
in the World War by the French to
detect military mine and tunnel con-
struction by the enemy, will enable
rescuers to locate the entombed miners
by the hammering Of picks, or the
sound of the human voice, either of
which may be heard through walls OF
earth by means of the new device.
Exhaustive tests have been made by
the bureaus experimental mine near
Pittsburgh, Penn, demonstrating that
human voices may be heard with the
instrument through $50 feet Of solid
coal; blows with a sledge on the facs
of the coal at a distance of $50 feet,
and the slightest rap of knuckles, on
a suspended pipe line, at mora than
$50 feet.
Uses Varied
Tests made by the bureau in Pitts
burgh show that another use for the
instrument will be the location OF
leaks in city water mains. The To-
cation of a leak in one Of the Pitts
burgh mains at busy corner proved
that the circulation Of water could be
heard from 20 to Is feet below the
street. Leaks that baffled the water
company for weeks were easily 10
Gated by the geophone.
Beside the use as a means Of pro
lection Of life in the mines the geo
phone has proved its usefulness in
mine surveying. Two tunnels being
brought together can be observed by
the instrument and their relative po-
sitions determined. Being very often
necessary to blast in the mines, the
proximity Of other miners may be de-
termined and warnings sent TO those
in the danger zone, the announcement
said.
Effective In RescueS
Location of lost diamond bits. used
in drilling, will be another of the velu-
able assets Of the instrument. These
bits usually drift from the straight
course and their location by the in
strument will prove a great saving
as compared with the more costly.
and time-wasting methods used here
tofore.
1t was stated by the bureau that the
geophone has proven its advantages
for mine rescue to such an extent
that they have been placed in all the
mine rescue cars.

Golf Player Praises Fee Action For
South Grove.
To the Editor of The Times
In behalf of a personal interest in
golf and the progress of the game I
think it is a fine position which has
been taken with reference TO the
twenty -fve-cent nominal fee which
becomes effective on the South Grove
course the fifteenth of this month.
Nothing is more bothersome than a
group OF half-interested players, most
ly boys, who drive here and there
about the course, forgetful Of the real
interest in the pastime and Of those
who take a pride in the game.
There is an exclusiveness added
which will mean much to the dignity
of South Grove. by the action Of the
board Of park commissioners-not to
speak Of the added revenue for the
city.
Golf is a gentleman's game and
must remain as such. 1t cannot toler-
ate any Of the riff-raff which erst,
while has infested various city courses.
1 admire the stand which has been
taken.
