BIG RADIO PLANTS
BROADCAST WEATHER
Located So That All Parts
of Country Can Be Served.

Washington.-To meet popular de-
mands the information sent out by the
weather bureau of the United States
Department Of Agriculture by radio
phone from several stations has been
amplified, and now includes river fore
casts and stages, conditions of high
ways as affected by the weather, effect
Of weather on crops, weather reports
from the principal crop areas, and spe-
cial forecasts for the guidance Of
farmers In harvesting.
Cooperation with a number of small
stations with limited range has been
discontinued and several large and
more powerful stations added. In many
cases forecasts for several states are
now broadcast from single station.
The gradual discontinuance of the
smaller and less powerful stations has
left the bureau with a chain Of we'll
distributed and reliable stations, from
which hearty and continued co-opera-
ton may be expected. They are so lo-
Gated that practically all sections Of
the country are assured of an oppor-
tunity to obtain the forecasts directly.
It Is impossible to approximately esti-
mate the number of people being
served in this way.
In addition to the hundreds of thou
sands Of receiving-set owners who re-
ceive the forecasts by radiophone, large
numbers of whom can obtain them in
no other way, many repeat them to
their neighbors by telephone. This
latter form Of service has become so
potential that arrangements are in
hand for a definite form of organiza-
ton which may replace the telegraph
ing Of forecast messages now sent to
centers for distribution. 1t Is expected
that more effective service will be ac-
complished thereby and that consider
able economy will result.

'KEMPY' PLEASES
 BIG AUDIENCES
Jefferson Players Star In Great Broadway
 Play

Birmingham is going to find week of laughter down, at the Jefferson thea tre, judging by the reception accorded the All-Star Jefferson Players at the first three performances of "Kempy, the attraction for this week.
 "Kempy' is a comedy of American life that is as deftly human as "The First Year." and as the theatre-goers find Mir. Fillmore delight in that production so they will find him in .'Kempy." Miss Kathleen Comegys, J. Glynn MacFarlane and Arthur Byron also have featured roles that are meet ing with the approval of audiences and critics alike.
 "Kempy" deals with the efforts of a perfectly nice girl to make career for herself when all the time fine young man is waiting impatiently to marry her .and papa who wants to retire and take things easy is waiting just as impatiently to get her off his hands. On the scene of battle appears plumb CTS apprentice-who really is an em- bryo architect-yclept "Kempy, who has actually once ready book written by the turbulent daughter and who has been inspired by it. When all others make light of her, the handsome snatches up the innocent "Kempy" and runs off and marries minor thinks she does. And that's where the real fun begins.

NORMA ASSAYS
 @SHEIKESS" ROLE
Takes Part Arabian Dane ing Girl In Capitol
 Film

Norma Talmadge has stolen march on the makers of sheik photoplays by introducing the Ouled Nail dancing girl to Hollywood.
 And those who see the fiery scenes between Joseph Schildkraut, in his Arabian role, and Norma Talmadge, as the Ouled Nail dancing gir', at the Capitol theatre in 'The Song of Love, predict that the sheik must go down to ignominous oblivion.
 When Norma made her first appear ance as an Ouled Nail dancer at the United Studios, there was such de- mand to see her in her dancing cos tune that the director, Chester Frank lin, WAS forced to put up three sets of excluding flats" to keep out visiting actors and actresses.
 But they got in somehow and looked through the angles of the canvas screens. climbed up on parallels, craned around corners and peeked through knot holes just the same.
 Friday and Saturday the Capitol offers Bert Lytell and Blanche Sweet in "The Meanest Man in the World At each evening performance on Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday, the capi- tol management will give away one pair of ''Silver Star hosiery to their lady patrons.

SCHOOL PROJECT
 DENIED BY BOARD
County Said Unable To Finance
 Additional Economic School

''The board of revenue has done all it can to finance county school pro- jects.'
 This was the answer given Tuesday to Dr. N. R. Baker and a delegation representing the county board of educa- ton who asked for S10,0OO for a home economics and agricultural building at Corner school.
 Members of the delegation pointed out that the state legislature author iztd the board of revenue to appro- |. priate funds for school buildings used under the th-Hughes law, by which agricultural schools get help from the U aited States treasury on condition that certain requirements are met. One of these requirements, they said, is that suitable building and adequate acreage must be provided by the cOun- ty or local cOn4.nunity.
 Several weeks ago the board voted to erect such a building at Alliance school, the second Smith-Hughes school in the county. In refusing to intro- duce a motion for a similar building at Corner school, w. B. Copeland said he sdid not think the county could afford to make any additional expenditures for such purposes, as it had already voted S1O.000 to the travelling libraries,
 The delegation announced that it would return and repeat it's request at a later meeting of the board.

MAN SHOPLIFTER

Record Shows He Was In Pris-

NEW ORLEANS, June 3.-Detec- tives filed a charge of petty larceny against Joseph Bailey, 37, when they arrested him in department store yesterday and found in his pockets sev- eral pairs of silk hose and purse he had purloined from the counters. but it developed today they cant do a thing with him, for the records show he was in jail at the time the offense was committed.
 Bailey, serving 30 days in the house of detention for shoplifting, had been made a trusty and was on an errand when he walked into the store and permitted temptation to get the best of him. If an attempt is made to prose- cute him, detectives said, he will have an air-tight alibi, for he can claim he was in jail at the time and the jail records will prove it.

NIOT always is shower without N it's compensations, even to the

 Scores of Birmingham's busiest stopped in their tracks to gaze on the affair. With one end resting, apparently. in the valley between Red and Shades mountains, it swept the sky at a towering height until it fell to earth again, seemingly in the vicinity of East Lake.
 Always one of natures most beau- tiful works of art, Tuesdays rain bow was exceptionally wonderful, both from its size and color. The individual primary colors were un- usually bright and flaming and were blended together into a brilliant whole.

TEMPLES SHOW
 HAS STAR CAST
Critics Praise Feature Picture Showing
 This Week

Name The Man" has been declared by critics to be a perfect motion pie tltre and the management of one mo- tion picture house offered S100 to any person finding a legitimate flaw in it.
 Conrad Negal, Mae Busch, Patsy Ruth Miller and Hobart Bosworth take the leading roles in the story which is taken from Sir Hall Gaines thrill book, 'The Master of Man."
 The scene of the story is laid on the Isle of Man, the setting for most of Gaines stories. .>
 Although this is the first American picture to be made by Victor Seastrom, the Swedish director, he has delivered master stroke. He deals with real ities-with real people whom every one has met and known. His direction is sympathetic at all times. He has made the action spontaneous, and each character, when flashed upon the screen, carries the story forward with swift movement. Like the photo graphy, one is totally unconscious of the director and yet when this photo drama is analysed, he is present at all times.
 Mae Bush triumphs again in this, her second Hall Caine story-she hay ing played Glory Quayle in 'The Christian" Miss Bushs performance has the very desirable element of "aban- don," and yet at no time does she even hint at overacting. Her pathos is superb-especially her tears in the rain.
 The Temple Symphony orchestra with Fred Stark, conductor, plays at both afternoon and night performahces. Mir. Stark selected as his overture this week "Oberon,' and is presented at , and s :50.
 Commencement Day" comedy that will appeal especially to children is shown as an added attraction and also Aesop's Fables and Temple Last Minute News.
