tempt to use big stick methods to Sc
cure what he wants.
Talk of Limiting Mar Planeo.
The War, Navy and State depart
ments are interested in the proposal
of the American Legion that an inter-
national conference shall be called for
the purpose of fixing u limit upon the
building of army planes for wal pur-
poses. The Legion proposes that what
has been done in the matter of ships
of the sea shall be done in the matter
of ships of the air.
Any attempt to limit the produc-
ton of army planes for war purposes
necessarily must have its path beset
with difficulties. The airplane is COM
ing into greater use day by day for
commercial purposes and for the
peace purposes of government, such as
mail carrying. AS the plane develops
as an instrument of m it will
be more and more difficult to prevent
its development as an instrument OF
warfare, at least so the students of
the situation declare.
A good commercial plane stanchly
war plane over night. 1t is held,
seemingly, by the students that to limit
the manufacture Of planes for war
purposes would in effect limit their
manufacture for peace purposes. II
Is argued here that If the country pos
caccnc IN 0lA anpap nraiol n1onnc nm
Wednesday 1t could have In its pos
session on Thursday the same lumber
of war planes by the simple process
of a few changes in arrangement and
In fixtures.
Not the Same With Ships.
Some persons may think that the
same argument would apply to YES
sells of the sea inasmuch as some
commercial ships can be transformed
into warships in a brief space of time.
This argunent, however. the students
say, does not hold good because the
commercial ship, unarmored and lack
ing the stanch construction necessary
for the carriage of big guns, cannot be
made into anything more formidable
than a light cruiser. During h World
war commercial vessels were trans
formed into warships, but of a very
minor and inefficient kind. Most OF
the merchant ships during the war
were armed with light guns capable
of sinking submarines, but beyond this
comparatively little was done with
them. The navies Of the world de-
pended upon battleships, cruisers, de-
stroyers and submarines for the work
In hand.
Airplanes cost money, bu: they do
not cost as much as ~battleships. 1t is
held in Washington that one of the
most appealing reasons for the peo-
pies support of the conference on the
limitation of ornaments was the fact
that limitation would save the taxpay-
ers enormous sums of money. The
naval programs of the world have been
/ cut and the saving has been made.
There would be nothing like the
same amount saved If a check should
be put Upon the building of airships.
Therefore it may be that the plea OF
the American Legion will no be given
the same sympathy and support that
were given TO the plea for the reduc-
ton in the number of great s~ea-going
men-of-war.

INDIAN NJ LONGE R THE POOR TRADER
Motion Picture Folks Making The Covered Wagon Find
 Times Changed

In the days when Hendrick Hudson was operating the Half Moon and discovering the Island of Manhattan tho Indians were not very good traders. The fact that they sold the island for few blankets. some rum and a gun or two proves that. But times have changed.
 To get a string of beads away from an Indian, especially a squaw, these days, 1t is necessary to part with something of value.
 When James Cruze and several hundred Paramount players arrived in southern Utah to begin work on "The Covered Wagon" coming to the Jefferson theater Monday night, No- vember 19, with daily matinees there after, they looked with great sur prise at the collections of moccasins, beaded blankets, necklaces and hand woven rugs, etc. that the Indians had with them. They thought tour ists had brought up all those things years before.
 In the course of two or three weeks they began to develop a craving for Indian trinkets. They began to make offers. At first expressive grunts were about the only things they re- ceived in reply. It was apparent even to the city-bred members of the cast that there was nothing slow about these Indians as bargainers.
 Money appealed to them, but even more than money they wanted colored handkerchiefs, pearl handled knives. expensive cravats, even silk shirts and dresses. A lot of barter ing went on while the picture was being made, but when many of the actors came to take stock of their new belongings they found that the things they had traded for them would knock holes in their bank rolls when it came time to replace them.
 In the old days 1t was possible to buy couple of states, a mountain range and a few rivers for odds and ends of things that the pionneers didn't want, but now the Bancocks, Crows, Arapahoes, Shoshones and Navajos know what they want when they want it-and what's more, they get 1t.

NORMA TALMADGE AT CAPITOL TODAY
Popular Star Comes To The atre In SeIznick Revival,
 The New Moon

In The New Moon." Norma TaI- madge's latest Selznick Revival. in which she Is presented by Joseph M. schenck. Miss Talmadge is given an excellent opportunity to display that remarkable versatility for which she Is famous.
 She is first presented to us as 8 Russian princess in the exquisite such wealth and position. Young, beautiful and proud, she gives the character of Princess Marie Paw lovna life and all the small neces- sary touches that one would never look for, but nevertheless miss il they were lacking.
 Later, we see her in role directly opposite to that of the princess. AS 8 peasant, in the rough, badly made clothes of the Russian girls, she is happy, carefree--no longer proud, but meek as becomes one of such standing. But her inborn power to rule comes to the fore, even in this lowly position.
 Having disguised herself as a peasant girl so as to be safe from the pent-up fury of the anarchistfe mob who had attacked the palace, the princess goes to neighborlng province and takes refuge in small store. When the decree ordering the nationalizing of all the women comes to the village the princess refuses to register and incites the rest Qf the women to follow her example:
 Miss Talmadge studies her roles before she enacts them. She puts her heart and soul into the character she is assuming. She is true ac- tress. She makes these two Rus sian characters live as one would believe it was impossible for anyone else but a Russian girl to do. She is superb and the picture is remark able, full of thrills, heart-throbs and smiles.
 "The New Moon" can be seen to- day and Saturday at the Capitol Theatre.

 The cotton grower in Alabama Is not 50 bad off financially this year as he has been in others. according to T. W. Jest of Montgomery of the state bureau of economies of the de- partment of agriculture, who was here today. He pointed out that the state will produce this year about 100000 more bales of cotton than was produced two years ago. He stated the increased acreage this season had. of course, greatly in- creased the expense of the current crop but added that the greatly in- creased price would aid materially in offsetting this disadvantage.
 He suggested that those pessimis- tically inclined might interview their bankers in regard to the financial standing of their farmer friends. If you will ask the bankers" Mir. Jest said, you will find their cotton farmer customers have much more money now than they had this time two years ago"
