day The Speedway officials have in
sisted the race must be held on a hoi-

The Legislature has before it a bill
giving Mayor Shank lie right TO de
clare a Speedway day as a legal city

the Senate and probbly will be taken
up by the House within a short time.

GLORIA SWANSON
 AT CAPITOL TODAY
Famous Screen Star Seen As Abused Wife In Under
 The Lash

Unusual strength of character portrayal is said to mark the acting of Gloria Swanson in her new Para mount picture, Under the Lash" which comes to the Capitol today and Saturday. Never has the popu- lar star had a role better adapted to her personality than her part of the wife of the fanatieal Boer who rules her with an iron hand and who finds Justification therefore in his narrow interpretation of the Scriptures.
 Emotional, compelling, dramatic is the picture, which is an adaptation by J. E. Nash of Edward Knoblock's and Claude Askew's play; "The Shu- lamite" The leading man is Mahlon Hamilton and the part of the hus- band is played by Russell Simpson.
 Miss Swanson is seen in a new characterization, that of the abused wife of a fanatical Boer farmer who holds her in subjection. Later a young Englishman enters her life and with his appearance on the scene, the action is rapid thrilling and tense. The production is an ex- cellent one in every respect and it was directed by Sam Wood. Among the supporting players are Lillian Leighton. Lincoln Steadman, Thena Jasper and Clarence Ford.
 Under the Lash" is :. picture so entirely different, so refreshingly romantic and different from anything before, until every person who sees this picture will be surprised and delighted with it's romance, love, ao- venture and action.

City officials believe 0 reduction in the water rate can be secured for Bessemer, as well as other desirable changes in water contracts, without formal recourse to the Alabama pub lie service commission, as a result of a conference Wednesday between this body, city officials and John E. Weakley president of the water com pany. It developed at the confer euce that the company would be Will ing to make alterations in the eX- isting contract, and further that the public service commission had al ready made a thorough survey or the Bessemer property through their engineer.
 .Members of the commission stated they would send city officials re- port from their engineer regarding the value placed on the Bessemer water plant, and that the city in the meantime compile it's estimate and also allow the company to present it's side of the case. It was the opin- ion of the commission that when these three estimates are compared, all parties will be able to agree to an adjustment of rates in an lntor- mal way, and without formally mak- ing an appeal to the commission. In the event an amicable adjustment cannot be reached, the city will file an appeal to the commission.
 Therefore. the status of the case at this time is that the city will wait for the valuation report from the commission before taking further action in the water rate hearing.

 Love was but superficial passion and marriage only matter or 1orHi So reasoned Patricia Fentrlss ana she laid her course accorolhsis : From one affair to the other she leaps with amazing rapidity. She plays with fire and glories in the discomfort of her ''victims" and then she meets real love.
