Local moving picture houses have
been enlisted to aid the Japanese
relief fund. Among those which will
contribute literally to the aid being
prepared and extended Japan is the

picture; and Ramon Novarro. lead
ing man, will be present to witness
its production. They are now en-
route to Washington.
Additional interest will be lent
through the appearance in the
boxes of President Coolidge and the
entire diplomatic corps, who have
been invited by the management to
be present at the first showing of
the picturized version of Rafael
Sabatini's novel.
Announcement of the participation
of the other moving picture houses
will be made as the details are ar
ranged. AS one of the managers
ksaid today: 1.-THE silver screens of
Washington will do their part in
giving a silver lining to the cloud
stricken Japan"

ALBANY, Sept. 10.-Patronage

OF Col. Frederick Stuart Greene,
newly appointed superintendent of
the recently created State Depart

Never before, it is said, has
State official, with the exception of
the governor, had such a great
amount of patronage at his dis
posal. But Colonel Greene has
sounded a warning that there will
be far fewer jobs in the depart
ments under his control when he
gets through.
Democratic leaders freely admit
that Colonel Greene is in position
to build up a great political ma
chine through proper distribution of
the patronage.
Friends of the new public works
superintendent declare, however,
that such a thing is farthest from
his mind, and that his whole duty
will be to save all the money he
can for the State by consolidating
bureaus and abolishing overlapping
jobs. They point to the fact that
this is illustrated by the fact that
Colonel GreSne, while allowed

n result of the drastic dry orders
from Washington, but when she
arrived at this port her officers said
that the fountain had been scrapped

Only two soft drinks were sold
on the outbound trip on the first

as the ship reached England the
