Funny Picture

Great interest is being shown ey-
erywhere in Wallace Reid s last pic
ture, Thirty Days" which will be
shown at the Palace theater in this
city tomorrow, for one day only.
A photograph of the late movie
star will be presented to each pa
tron of the show tomorrow with the
compliments OF the management.
"Thirty Days is melodramatic
farce comedy packed with laughable
moments.
Mr.. Reid has the role of wealthy
young man whose sole activities are
charity work with his fiancee, and
mild flirtations with other girls. IT
is while engaged in a work of char
ity that he innoeently offends a vi
eions Italian who swears to kill
him. How the Italian tries to full
fill his vow and how Wally prevents
him from doing so by going TO Jail,
form the basis OF many screaming
lv funny situations. Here are sew
eral Of them:
The plight of John Cadwalader
Floyd, the character played by Reid,
as man whom all the girls are
crazy about; the melodramatie but
comic fight of John with Polenta
when the latter finds John appar-
entity kissing his wife; John g
scheme 10 get away from the mur-
derous Polenta by getting sent to
jail for 80 days; scenes in the
prison; John and two crook bed
mates; the arrival in Jail of Polenta
whom John hopes 10 escape; John s
discovery that the warden is q
crook and his change from lowly in
mate to the warden's pet; John IS
plight when his fiancee visits the
Jail with group of prison reform
ers and Johns clever ruse to put
himself straight with her; Polenta s
discharge from Jail and Johns des-
perate efforts to prevent being
pardoned, resulting in his being
kicked bodily out of Jail; scene
where John fights and rolls up in
q rug the prowler he thinks is Po-
lenta, only to find the would be
murderer behind him. Wanda Haw-
ley heads the admirably selected
cast.

KINGS HIGHWAY
SIGN POSTING
is STARTED

Actual sign.p posting of 81 Canine
Real, the Kings Highway" of
California, has just been started by
The Automobile Club Of Southern
California according to an an
nouncement from the club road
marking department.
This is one of the most signifi-
cant highway sign posting projects
ever undertaken in America in view
of the fact that, it permanently es-
tablishes the historical mission road
aloug the coast of California and
sets the seal of modern road signing
methods on an age old foot path of
romance.
New Signs
New signs TO be erected by the
Automobile Club viii be placed on
the famous Emission bell'' road
markers which have become famil-
iar to thousands OF motorists who
have toured in California during
the past five years. Wherever
there is mission bell there will al
go be brand new automobile sign
linking the past of OK carts to the
present of motor ears. The Southern
California Club win have the re-
sponsibility of sign-posting that
portion of the FL Canine Real
which extends from the San Diego
Mission on the South to the San
Luis Obispo mission on the North.
In this territory will be found
famous missions as San Luis Rey,
San Juan Capistrano, San Gabriel,
Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez.
From the San Luis Obispo line
North the marking of FL Canine
Real will be accomplished by an
other motoring organization of the
State so that the entire course OF
the old Royal Highway viii be
fairly marked for the use Of motor
lists following this historical route
which is now paved for its entire
distance where little more than
hundred years ago the mission |
fathers went plodding along on foot |
little dreaming of the mad rush
Of motor cars to follow in their |
footsteps. The entire distance to |
be signed will be more than 400 |
miles and the signs will be uniform
with green letters on white back I
ground, having the dates Of the |
mission in the vicinity of sign.

GIRLS ARE REAL SPORT FOLLOWERS

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 24.- Is 1t true that girls are less enthusi- astic over athletics than boys? Do they merely affect excitement to a great extent, rather than find 1t natural?
 Those are questions that have long been discussed among men sport lovers, and sporting scribes of Mont gomery in attendance at the close basketball game at Woman's college here this week say they can answer the questions.
 One scribe had this to say: I've never seen more natural enthusiasm in athletics than those girls dis played over the success of their class. They were really in the game heart and soul.'
 Another scribe had moro to say. "The players on the losing teams cried with all their heart after the loss of the game. They were in any boy ever entered a game to win.
 The American girl Is enthusiastic and real in her love for clean sports. She plays them cleanly-she Is sensi- tive to foul accusations and almost with exception endeavors to play the game in a sportsmanlike manner.
 T find that football is the most popular sport among women fol- lowers although of course they like basketball better for their own play ing. I am for the American girl in her athletics all the time."

JONAH TOWN NOW
 ASSUMES ASPECT IF AMERICAN CITY
Current Magazines andNeWs- papers Are on Sale
 at Jaffa

JAFFA Palestine, March 24.-(By Associated Press. )-Jaffa, famous as the refuge of Jonah before he was swallowed by the whale, is assuming the aspect of an American city. Large numbers of Jews from the United States have come here and established stores, schools, cinemas and synaRogues on the American plan. American newspapers and mag azines of the current month are on sale, and small manufactured arti- cles with the stamp Made in the U- $. A" are plentiful and reasonably moderate in price. Many patriorc and devout Jews, seeking the home land and religious shrine of their fathers, are here to spend the rest of their years in quiet and retire ment. Others have set up in bus mess with money made in America. Along the streets one sees the famil- far American signs like Israel Jonas. Tailor;' Samuel Levy, Stationer; Isaac Sachs, Pawnbroker," Joseph Kahn, Butcher etc.
 Jaffa is now regular port of call for American torpedo destfoyers in Mediterranean waters. But the ex- posed roadstead and dangerous sub merged rocks frequently force the sheltered port of Halfa, 100 miles north. Almost any day the stores of Jaffa may be seen full of American jack tars purchasing souvenirs Of the Holy Land. religious articles, or some of the famous Jaffa oranges or Jordan almonds.

 Excellent Stone Road.
 An excellent stone road built by the Turks and improved by tho Brit ish expeditionary forces leads one through the historic hills of Judea to Jerusalem. The American sailors, if their resources permit, usually make up parties and go to Jerusa- lem and Bethlehem in automobiles. The railroad connecting Jaffa and Jerusalem is little used by visitors for the 40-mile trip can be made much more comfortably, faster and cheaper by motor car. Thousands of light American cars have been brought to the larger cities, and one might almost imagine himself to be in Detroit or Indianapolis.

AMERICAN PRESS DOES NOT PLEASE OXFORD
 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

LONDON. March 24.-CThe Asso- ciated Press. .)-The students of OK ford university finally have decided what is the matter with the newspap- CTS of England. At g meeting of the Union Society, which embraces the entire student body. 1t was moved debated and determined that "the i'm itation of American journalistic methods is the bane Of the British press"
 Really, to hear the debaters tell it. something ought to be Idone about it. The student who thought up the idea of the motion said he believed Eng fish culture was being destroyed and national morality undermined by re- sort to American sensualism" on the part of British papers.
 He gave some illustrations of Am erican Journalistic style which the English reporters said were "amus- ing" and declared that in such ways the intelligence of the nation has been insulted. .a
 'ls England so bankrupt, without tradition, so unsophisticated, primi- tive, childish and ignorant that we must have resort to American sen sualism," the speaker inquired.
 "No," chorused the collegians.
 One student opposed the motion. He did not think the British press was in the same condition as was al- legged against some American pap ers-traditions of deceit, lying, fal- sification of news, and so on. Ger tainly, he felt, a change had come over English newspapers, but it had been change from the weak, foggy Victorian press.'
 He did not have his way. The mo- tion was carried by almost two tc one.

1 SELLING IS EVEN MORE GENERAL IN MORNING SESSION

NEW YORK, March 24.-Notwith standing the persistency of the liqui- cation which has been going on the cotton market, since May contracts sold at 31.5oc during the middle Of the month, the selling was even more general and active this morn ing. May deliveries broke to 29.37c or 73 points below the closing quo tation of Friday and 222 points or more than s11 per bale below the recent high record. That delivery closed at the lowest with the gen. eral market closing weak at a net decline of 60 to 77 points.
 The market opened weak at de- cline of 35 to 43 points under heavy overnight selling orders. The initial break brought in considerable GOV ering and trade buying, but the de- mand was supplied on very slight rallies and the tone was extremely ervous and unsettled during the en- tire morning. Each bulge seemed to meet 8 renewal of liquidation or fresh selling and the lowest prices of the day were touched late m the morning when July sold at 2s.oo 75 points net lower on tho more active with the approach of the time for the filling out of March com mittments. Aside from this, local brokers believe that tho selling mas been influenced by a growing dis trust of high commodity values due te a feeling that the cost of living mas advanced sufficiently to react unfav- orably upon consuming demand and that banking interests have se' their face against further imitation The failure of yesterdays conference to meet in compromise ofthe wage dispute at Fall River, may have been something of disappointment, pul it was not mentioned prominently as a market factor. Trade interests were reporting considerable nun . her of buyers trying to fix prices on a scale down.

WEATHERISCAUSE] OF WHEAT DROP ON CHICAGO MART

CHICAGO. March 24.-Despite some reports of alternate freezing and thawing and of high winds, the gen. 'eral crop outlook today appeared favorable, and wheat underwent a moderate setback in price. The mar ket closed heavy ss to 7s net low <. er.. with May s1.1s7s to s1.2o and July s1.14N to s1.15. Corn finished unchanged to ss cents off. oats down shade to b@A cents, and provis- ions at 15 cents to 27 cents decline.
 From the outset. it was apparent that the wheat market was heading downgrade. with liQuidating sales with scattered holders something of a factor and with no special demand except from a few spectators who were acting on adverse crop news from limited sections of Illinois and Kansas. Most of the winter wheat territory, however. was regarded as in promising shape, especially as the forecast was for increasing cudiness with warmer weather.
 Announcement that another 1OO,- 900 bushels of wheat had been sent into storage here, making 620,o0o bushels within the last three days but the bull side under a further handicap. Besides, notwithstandin 7 trat some export business at the seaboard was said to be under way, the amount was insufficient to cause any material enlargement or buying here.
 Corn and oats averaged lower in sympathy with wheat. although corn was said to be wanted for ex- pert by way of the Gulf of Mexico.
 Weakness of hog values together . with packers selling. led to declines in zthe provision market.

FIXED EASTER DATE IS URGED IN ENGLAND
Claims Present System Inconveni- ent For Schools And Rusiness

LONDON, March 24.-An effort is being made by number of English men led by Lord Desborough to ob- tain a general agreement on the question of a fixed date for Easter.
 Lord Desborough recently stated that motion to this effect will be offered at the next meeting of the International Chamber of Com merce on the ground that the va riance of Easter is inconvenient not only to business people, but also to the legal profession and to schools ard universities. He will leave next month for Rome to ask the Pope to consider the matter
 It is understood that the heads of the Church of England have already been approached on the subject, but answered that they had not the power to change the present system.
 It has been suggested that the second Sunday in April should be fixed as the immovable date.

BRIDES IN CHINA WEAR RED

From the North China Herald.
 In no land does the bride present a gayer appearance than in China, where bright colors fairly run riot in the dress of the people. Red IS the nuptial color in China.
 At a betrothal in China the bride- groom to be sends the object of his affections a pair of bracelets tied to- geather with red twine.
 At the time of the marriage the young couple exchange pairs of wine cups tied together with red. The bride wears red and her veil is red. Cords of red silk tie the bridal pair together.
 In the North of China the gorgeous bridal sedan chair is covered with red cloth. The men who carry it wear red. The brides chair Is gorgeously inlaid and has red draperies if the bride is from a home of prosperity.
 The poorer class use red wooden chairs and hang upon them charms written on red paper. The presents are in red boxes. Men in red carry nuptial banners. and red is the dominant color throughout.
