MOVIES

Wallace Reid has driven almost every kind of yehicle-in his Paramount screen offerings. In his recent pie ture, "The Love Special" he added a locomotive to the list and in the au- tomobile race picture immediately fol- lowing, he drove a fast racing car around the track at a speed of hun dred and ten miles per hour.
 In "The Hell Diggers," his late pie ture written by Byron Morgan, which will be shown at the Empress Theater for the last time tonight the star op- crates one of the most unusual ma chimes in the world-the giant dredg- CT which is used to pan the precious metal from the earth in Northern Cali fornia. On this occasion, however, he was unable to make more than half mile day.
 This lack of pep in the speed of the big machine, however, is more than compensated for by thrilling fight when the dredger is converted into a floating fortress and which it is up to the faction headed by MT. Reid to storm and capture, and by many other unusual scenes and situations.
 A screen melodrama of compelling power, of suspense that is maintained to the last foot of film, complicated with an unusual twist that grips your heart as well as your interest, is the from an original Gouverneur Morris scenario, and coming to the Empress theater tomorrow. Wallace Worsley CTS and Leatrice Joy act the leads.

BAD BOOZE SPELLS
 DOOM FOR HODGES

CHICAGO, March 26. - Chicago's 'flop-houses" soon will be thing of the past.
 Moonshine and prohibition are re, sponsible, according to survey made by the Chicago Christian Industrial League, which maintains hotel and employment service for homeless men
 "In five more years the hobo, or 'barrel-house' bum, will be as extinct as the fire horse in this city," said the Rev. George A. Kilbey, superin tendent of the league. "The poison that the booleggers and saloon keepers are selling is killing them off in droves. On the other hand, the young fellows are avoiding this deadly stuff, and no new crop of hoboes is coming in to take the place of the old timers who fall by the wayside."

BAD $lo,ooo CHECK
 GIVEN TO CHARITY
"Big-Hearted" Honolulu Man Lavish Iy BestoWs Bogus Gift on
 Welfare Union

HONOLULU, March 26. - Charity in Honolulu, so far as one unknown person is concerned, is twin sister to lavish generosity, but is not at all re- lated to the homely virtues of honesty and sincerity.
 Detective Chief Arthur McDuffie is yearning to meet one Jack Pulani Howard and show him, through the medium of a sojourn in jail, that ten real cents are better than ten thou sand dream dollars, donated for sweet charity's sake.
 When the United Welfare campaign, put over here recently, was at it's height, the big-hearted Jack wrote out a check for ten thousand dollars. The campaign managers were staggered; j; they called the bank in order to learn where the Honolulu Greatheart resid- ed, so that they could tender thanks in person. They learned quickly and def initely from the bank officials that Jack was one of those persons who must have his little joke and was using blank bank checks to practice his signature and exercise his sense of humor Jack isn't on the bank books, nor is he in the city directory, but the detective chief promises that should he materialize in the flesh his name will be on the police blotter.

NEW OYSTER BEDS
 FOR CONNECTICUT
Former Prosperous Industry to Be Revived by Spawn Obtained
 Elsewhere

Elsewhere
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, March 26. Hundreds of little boats that once dotted inlets of Long Island Sound and are now idle in scores of fish ing hamlets will be put overheard again if promises of the State Shellfish Commission hold true, for the Commission says "it is both practicable and possible to restore Connecticut's once powerful oyster industry and even to render it great CT than ever before."
 Thousands of men once worked in the industry, New Haven being the centre of the greatest oyster regions on earth, and Connecticut oysters went everywhere in the United States and crossed to famous restaurants in London and Pairs. Then came sudden blight upon the industry, which shut down ali but half a dozen oys- ter concerns and after long delay the State took up the burden of learning why.
 By what seems wizardry the State Shellfish, Commission has managed in the last year to create an oyster "set" where none ever existed be- fore and increased it in spots where "set" had existed. "Set" is technical term for oyster spawn, which in turn develops into edible oysters.
 The trick was done by importing oysters by hundreds of thousands from other American waters. some from as far as Puget Sound, and where flow of fresh water from in land springs gave them proper food. Old time oystermen doubted the plans success at first, but had to be convinced when they saw the "set" before their eyes. Now they have visions of returning prosperity.

NEW RECORDS IN SPRlNTS LAID TO MODERN TIMING
Today's Sprinters Really Benefit by Watch,
 Says Walsh
DON'T OUTRUN OLDTIMERS
Old Stop Watch Didn't t Record Tenth Seconds;
 Divided Into Fifths

NEW YORK, March 26-Now that there is an end of the typographical rhapsodies over the effort of Harold C"Boots') Lever in running 70 yards in the worlds record time of 7 1-1O seconds, it might be just as we'll to point out that the performance does not mark the present-day sprinter as superman any more than sleeve gar ters mark the aristocrat. AS matter of fact, the art of sprinting hasn't inn proved jot in forty years, Lever, Le- coney and Paddock to the contrary.
 But the boys who prove it by the figures will attempt to tell you that it has.
 ''Is this the millennium" they ask with all due gravity. It is to laugh.
 Lever was aided in breaking a worlds record at the intercollegiate games by an innovation in timing, not because he is a step faster than were Howard, Drew, Schick, Cloughan, We- fers, Duffy and others. In fact, we are pleased to doubt whether Lever is quite as fast as where those nasty in- dividuals of other days.
 Divided Into Fifths
 Nearly all of them were credited with having run the distance in 1-5 seconds. They might have run faster upon the occasions in question, but no one will ever know, for the req son that watches in those days were divided into fifth of a second only In other words, there was no intermedi- ate point in case a sprinter shaded ' 1-5. He would have to do seconds flat to get credit for the record.
 It was the same timing device, in- troduced less than a year ago, that helped Alfred Leconey to break the in tercollegiate 100-yard mark. The old standard, held jointly by Bernie Wefers Jr.; Ralph Craig and Jimmy Paterson, was 4-5 seconds. Leconey was timed with the new watch in 7-10 Was Leconey a faster man than Wefers or Craig? We think not. The officials merely held more favor able type of watch on his perform ance, which Wefers, Craig and even Patterson might very easily have equalled under similar conditions. But to receive credit for bettering 9 4-5 they would have had to run 100 in 9 3-5.
 Old Record Stood Long
 The same ill-advised yammer went up over this effort, and it was also noted in connection with the record for 60 yards, made during the Winter by Loren Murchison. If one were to follow the line of reasoning laid down by self-elected critics Murchison would have to be acclaimed the greatest 60- yard man of the last forty-one years for the old record, though equalled many times, stood that long.
 However, few critics seem inclined to look below the surface for reasons.
 When will it end?" they ask, mean ing the orgy of record breaking in the sprints. We can answer that one read fly. It will end just as soon as the boys get the full and complete bene- fit of the doubt from the tenth-second watch at all distances. At that mo- ment the orgy will become calm without further notice.

Tips on Playing Basket Ball;
Correct Rule interpretations
BY ED THORP.

LEEP is of prime importance
~ to any athlete. Some people
~ do seem to be able to get
along with less sleep than others,
but SO far as we are able to judge
efficiency is lost. Others also seem
unaffected by having their sleep cut
short few hours for several nights.
There is great deal of difference,
however, between what seems to be
SO and what really is. Any loss of
sleep means lower vitality and a
icssened efficiency.
To get the greatest value from
sleep it should be regular and un-
disturbed. One should develop the
idea of going to bed at a certain
hour and getting up at a fixed time
if he wishes to play good basket
ball all the time. In most cases. if
I,his rule is followed, the player will
be able to fall asleep Immediately
upon going to bed and to sleep
through until morning Always
sleep with the windows OF your
