knew how to be lavish. for he scored
a surprise record with the Keller
man picture.
Brenon has declared that the cost
of building Spanish castles during
the reign of Philip Nv Of Spain was
nothing startling. judged by present
day standards, and this he considers
no reflection on the Spanish castles.
Having assumed the task of max
ing a story of medieval Spain, he
went the limit TO assure it's medieval
atmosphere. For example, he served
banquet menu that hadn't been
used for more than 400 years-the
product of his own research into
morals and manners of the time
Then he garbed Pola in Spanish
costume OF the period that required
sixty yards of material, and for

Spanish queen he had costumes which
contained twelve yards OF velvet
each, with all kinds of gold lace
thrown in for the sake of realism;

as complete authority as that exer-

the high seas. This was absolutely
necessary because of the perils OF
the enterprise, which could be met
and overcome only by concerted ef-

Each wagon train was. for the time
consumed in making the journey
usually about six months-a little
world entirely cut off from estab-

necessary that each train should
have a government and ruler OF
its own. The Mormon pilgrimage, In
1916, was successful because of Its
organization and the leadership OF
Brigham Young, who had the ad-
vantage of possessing spiritual as
well as temporal authority.
So important was this matter of
government of the wagon trains that
a hook was written on the subject
by Capt. Randolph b. Marcy of the
United States Army and Is to be

brought forward regarding the or
Eaniza tion and government of the
wagon trains in the pioneer days. Mr..
Wingate is the captain of the train
concerned in THE Covered Wagon"
and In many episodes In the course
of the pictured narrative the fact is
clearly revealed that he Is in su-

Is law.
TO many persons who have thought
OF the great migration to the west
as simply a mad. unorganized rush
of settlers and goldseekers, this ap-

may not be understandable. Yet In

COOLIDGE URGES
AID FOR GERMANS
Expects American People win
Come Forth With Much
Needed Assistance.

Washington-The White House did
not hesitate to make known that
President Coolidge is still giving close
attention to the wheat situation and
continuing his study of the proposal
to send wheat to Germany.
President Coolidge, 1t was said, feels
that conditions in Germany will soon
call for relief from this country. a cry
which he feels will appeal strongly to
the generosity Of the American peo-
pie. II was said that he takes the
view that France will or should take
care of the Ruhr section, being the
country now under French military
occupation, but as to the rest of Ger.
many, it is up to the United States to
come forward with food and other
needed supplies.
Behind the views attributed to the
President was seen the almost Ger.
tain move of the chief executive of
the nation to call upon Congress soon
after ii convenes for a liberal D
Ration to send wheat and -four to
German. There Is a growing belief
that some such action will be proposed
and that IL will have quite generally
he backing of the people of the Uni.
ted States.
