PENSION PAYMENT
NOT LIKELY BEFORE
LEGISLATURE MEETS

Hope of paying the remaining
half of the Confederate pensions be-
fore the legislature convenes on
June 27 has been abandoned by state
officials who have been working to-
ward that end. The second payment
on the pensions will require approxi.
mately 100000, and the state
tire asury has not that amount avail
able at this time.
Many county tax collectors have
not yet made their final settlements
with the comptroller generals office,
and the receipts and disbursements
in the treasurer Office have been
running 81 close race. No matter
what action the next legislature
takes with a view to increasing reve-
nues, officials do not see any hope
OF the state deriving benefit until
1926, as a constitutional amendment
must be voted upon by the people,
and it would be several months aft
err the law went into effect before
revenues were produced.

To permit rear platform addresses
to large crowds special voice ampli-
flying apparatus has been installed
on the presidents special car.
On top Of the private car, at the
rear end, are five projectors through
which the amplified voice OF the
president will be delivered to the
audience. The sound coming from
the projectors will be about 1000
times as loud as the Presidents
voice itself.
At the various large meetings,
whether indoors or out, at which
the president will speak, another
form of the public address anplify-

this device, the remotest seat in an

The director has gotten away from
the beaten path
This romance of 1850. when the
whaling industry was at its peak. is
unusual in its departure from the con-
ventions. You might say that it is
impossible TO record the adventurous
lives of the whalemen in an accurate
manner. Yet Clifton has done it. He
has not only brought forth series OF
truly sensational scenes such as the
sighting of the whales and the pursuit
OF them with the subsequent stirring
episode when a mighty bull monster
is harpooned, but he lifts the veil of
romance which covers the Quakers
and their faith. The characters, with
the exception of the protagonist. are
members of the Society of Friends.
We are taken into the meeting house
and shown the Quakers carrying on
their quaint customs The marriage
ceremony is one highly appealing cpl

While the picture brings forth the
whaling industry of the fifties with lis
