All aboard for Red Gap!
That California maps must now be
made over means nothing in the life
Of James Cruze, who produced 1.-The
Covered Wagon" and Hollywood" and
host of other Paramount picture
successors.
And If you want your own maps of
the Golden State strictly up to date
you must pencil circle four hundred
miles north of San Francisco, for
there lies the brand new town of Red
Gap. If you can't find Red Gap-ask
Ruggles-he knows.
Most of the Harry Leon Wilson
story, ''Ruggles of Red Gap" S laid in
town called Red Gap. There was no
such place. To fake the scenes on
the Lasky lot isn't James Cruces
idea of Paramount pictures. And so
small army of carpenters were sent
with a trainload of lumber to the
locale best suited for the screen YER
sion Of Red Gap.
At daylight the next day the natives
awoke to discover a town springing
up before their startled gaze. That
was weeks ago. Mr.. Cruze shortly
received wire that Red Gap was
completed.
The story of "Ruggles of Red Gap"
tells of the troubles Of rival coteries
in small town who engage in a race
for social pre-eminence. But there
are among those certain folk who de-
test social usages and when, through
the efforts of an English valet, all
social traditions are upset. situations
Astounding with laughs ensue. There
Is a unique poker game in the action
which will be enjoyed by all motion
picture fans. The picture is one that

GRAYS HARBOR FUEL
REMOVED FROM LIST

The Grays Harbor Fuel company,
which was placed on the I'VE Don't
Patronize" list about two years ago,
has been removed from the list. The
company has not come to an agree
ment with the Transfers Union and
still employs non-union drivers. 1t is
to be hoped that they will in the near
future see the advantage of collective
dealing and help to further the spirit
of good fellowship now existing on
the Harbor.

This is of the most important declarations in McCu

Sufficient money should be put in each fund to provide

Science

Until very recent times, as his
tory goes, it was generally believed
that the earth was a fiat disc sur
rounded by water and that anyone
foolish enough to sail to the edge
would fall off," Not only that but
it was believed that the earth was
the center of the universe.
After those beliefs were dispe1led
and man took to the idea of the
earth being sphere revolving
around the sun, he then believed that
the sun was the center of the uni
verse. Not until the last few years
has that belief been overturned. 1t
is still the popular belief among
most persons who went to school
some years ago.
Man always has tried to make him
self the center of the universe.
When he had to give up the idea
Of his earth being in that exalted
position, he chose his sun for it.
He had some scientific evidence for
this, as well as his desire to put
his world in a central position; that
was the fact that the sun is the
center of the solar system. But
it is not the center of the known
universe by any means. Not only
that but there are many suns in the
Milky Way ten thousands times
brighter than the earth's sun.

RADIO IS
CROWDED IN
SOME SPOTS
Many Stations Operate at
Same Time in Number
of Cities.
By ISRAEL KLEIN

NEA Service Radio Editor
TN Ado broadcasters are speed
Tx ing to their own destruction.
IL Already some are falling by
the wayside. Yet new adventures
are coming in only to find the road
so clogged up with competitors as
to make progress extremely difficult
Difficult as the going is for broad
casters, this competitive rush for
popularity and self-advertisement is
making the air less agreeable for
radio fans. The listeners are in the
situation of a pedestrian unable to
cross a congested street.
Look over the radio map of the
nited States and. Canada, and see
what is meant. Out Of New York
City, eleven stations may have the
air at the same time if they wish. OF
course, they haven't the same wave
length, but what can a poor local fan
do when the power Of several Of
these eleven stations is so gret as to
make reception of their own pro-
grams practically compulsory?
Besides contending with the eleven
broadcasters within the city, the New
Yorker has hardship in tuning out
four more equally as powerful in
Newark, N J., not far away.
Same Elsewhere
The same condition exists through
out the rest of the country. Thir-
teen stations in and about Chicago.
ten around Los Angeles, eight in the
vicinity of San Francisco, seven in
Washington, me in New Orleans,
eight each in Omaha and ST. Louis
and five each in Cleveland, Columbus
and Cincinnati.
Seattle has nine broadcaters, To
ronto seven, Vancouver five, Calgary
five. Montreal four, and so on
through the rest Of the continent.
The situation has become so that
city fan is at a disadvantage in
radio reception. If one local sta
ton isn't on the air, another is and
its power and broadness are such
that he Is forced to listen to that
station or abandon his set. Even
among the best Of receivers there is
difficulty in tuning out local broad
casters.
Fortuna tely. there is generally an
understanding among stations that
broadcast from the same locality,
affordinS each a definite time in
which to transmit it's programs I'M
molested. That would be fine il the
programs are the kind the radio fans
preferred
Programs Protested
But a general protest is making
itself heard against the monotony Of
musical programs to the exclusion
Of spoken numbers. Calls are be
ing made for interesting and educa-
tional lectures, while broadcasters
still insist on putting any kind OF
music on the air.
At the same time a prerogative
promised fans by radio was that OF
freedom of choice among broadcast
ers for whatever kind Of entertain
ment the fan happened to like. But
if local station, with power of
| 200 or even more watts, is on
the air with a jazz concert, how
can the fan who seeks operate
music. for instance. overcome the
local broadcaster's power. even if he
has a good long-distance set?

with the radio voice." as radio peo-
pie call it, has the advantage. 1t
IS curious the way voices work over
the radio. In different sections Of
the country radio fans come to have
an intimate, close feeling for certain
speakers and entertainers because Of
their attractive voices.
Over the radio, Candidate Davis
has the advantage over his rivals
in the presidential race. Davis is a
clear, distinct talker. His voice is
deep, resonant and clear. 1t is a
voice that folks like. 1t is a friendly,
hearty voice. 1t carries with 1t a
ma ynetism that may mean many
votes 20 the Democrats before the
campaign is over.
Seriously at a disadvantage is
President Coolidge. The Presidents
voice is fiat and indistinct It doesn't
make you want TO know the man
who works it. 1t sounds too much
like tired tin pan. The President
seems to sense this. He dislikes the
radio heartily. A number of his
speeches have been broadcast. He
has had much more experience at
broadcasting than his rivals, either
Davis or La Toilette.
In the Senate, Robert M. La Fol
lette is one of the most effective of
speakers. He is forceful and dra-
matte. He is perhaps the greatest
actor in the Senate. This turns out
to be his handicap when he is speak
ing over the radio. He must I'M
learn his technique of public speak
ing, and learn to read his addresses
into the microphone, il ra-
do fans are to enjoy his speeches.

Nom planted a garden, a dear lit
tie garden when warm weather first
made its call. She worked day and
night just to plant the seeds right,
and 1t wasn't neglected at all.
Dad thought it quite funny where
went the spare money that mother
oft kept in a cup. For seeds she was
spending. Her prayer, never ending,
that something, at least, would come
up.
She'd sprinkle and hoe just to help
the things grow and she kept 1t a
secret from dad. He'd get a surprise
and he'd open his eyes when he saw
all the things that she had.
At last came peeping, through
lumpy soil creeping, long slender
stem growth of green. And then
came another. "Ah, ha," shouted
mother, that must be radish-or
bean"
Then summer rolled long and the
garden went wrong, as a fine total
loss were the seeds. The garden was
green but twas plain to be seen that
the best thing that grew there was
weeds.

But Juno still hated him. So she
decreed that because of his murders
he must carry out the commands Of
his cousin Eurystheus. She hoped
he would give Hercules commands
which would lead to his destruction.
Eurystheus sent him on twelve
dangerous missions, since called the
Twelve LabOrs of Hercules"
One was to kill lion, which he
did with his bare hands. Another
was to STAY Hydra, the nine-headed
water serpent.
His next three ventures were the
capture of a bear, stag and the
man-eating birds of Stymphalus.
The sixth labor was to clean the
Augean stables. This he did by
changing the course of a river and
sanding the water through the
stables.
Hercules was commanded to per
form six more labors of a similar
nature and he was successful in
all Of them.
He married maiden named De

happily for three years.

The centaur told her to save some

She did so, but the blood of the
