U. s. RICH LANDOWNER
Has Tremendous Iron, Coal and oil
 Bearing Properties.

Hearing Properties.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.--(By Asso- ciated Press )-Uncle Sam is one of the largest land owners in the world, and his rents and royalties amount to a stupendous and ever-increasing sum yearly.
 Coal and oil lands form the chief part of his holdings, and immense tracts of oil shale lands, deposits of phosphate, potash and other inn portant salts add greatly to his acre age. The bureau of mines has su pervision over the operation of more than a hundred coal mines disrtib- uted through eight states, and while at present, mining on public land is overshadowed by private industry, the government mines are increasing constantly in importance. In addi- tion, leases for one phosphate de- velopment, one oil shale project and four potash operations have been issued.
 The growth of leasing operations on oil and gas lands owneh by the government has been phenomenal since the passage of the leasing act in 1920. In the three years and two months from February, 1920, to April, 1923, the bureau administered operations involving 334 oil and gas leases and 1o,60S prospecting per- mits.
 Revenues and rentals from these and other leases have totaled about $24 4,470,000, part of which has been turned over to the reclamation ser vice to be put back on the land.

STRAND PRESENTS ''LAWF u LARCENY"
 WITH N|TA NALD|
Noted Screen Siren Plays Part Of Modern
 Cleopatra

Nita Naldi, screen siren extra-or- dinary, is a modern Cleopatra in Lawful Larceny" Paramount pie will be in view at the Strand all week. Miss Naldi Is modern with pure Egyptian favor and she wears gowns that inevitably create a sensa- tion wherever the picture Is shown.
 Modern adaptations of this partf- cular Egyptian period were made for Miss. Naldi by leading designers of New York with the result that her gowns are said to be "le dernier sri" in Egyptian mode, which according to the leading modistes, is to be the dominating note in the fashions of this and subsequent seasons for years to come.
 Miss Naldi is Cleopatra reincar- mated" declared MT. Dawn. Many leading artists have said that she is the nearest to the famous Egyptian charmer to be found in America. With her long slender arms and limbs, piercing black eyes and raven black hair, she is wonderful In Egyptian clothes that are bizarre to the last degree, and in a surrounding of an- cient splehdor. E &s ~ %%
 "In Lawful Larceny we give the public the newest ideas of Egyptian fashions and decorations. We have spared no expense and time In re- search for this material. Miss Naldi Is a charmer of men in the picture and we have given her the last weap- ons with which to work her charms"
 Not only will Miss Naldi be clad in Egyptian gowns, but she will have g complete Egyptian background for her machinations against men. Every photograph of King Tut-ankh, ,Amen's tomb printed in this country was studied for ideas. No detail was overlooked in making Miss Naldfs latest appearance on the screen the most sensational of her career.
