BRITAIN WANTS CREW
OF TOMAKA RELEASED

London.-Great Britain has asked
the United States for the release from
bail of the British and Canadian mem
bers of the crew of the British schoon-
er Tomaka, alleged rum runner seized
last November beyond the three-mile
limit off New York.
Investigation by the British authori-
ties, it is stated, showed the Tomaka
to be of Canadian ownership and
seized we'll outside the three-mile
limit.
While British officials here are en-
tirely out of sympathy with liquor
smuggling. they feel they have no
alternative but to protect the rights
of British owned vessels outside the
traditional three-mile radius, which
they say, must remain the law until
the new treaty extending the limit
to an hours steaming distance from
the shore becomes effective.

THEATERS
WEIR

The old saying, boys viii be boys"
is proved true by Wesley Barry in
his latest picture, 'PThe Printers
Devil" which will the the feature pic
ture at the Weir theater starting next
Monday.
The story is a romance woven round
the humdrum workings of a small
town newspaper, and tells of Brick
Hubbard, a young printers devil for
the Biggsville Gazette, who gets his
full share Of fun and enjoyment out
of each days work.
The theme deals with Brick, who is
youth thrown from his own re-
sources, and who, in order to earn a
living, works hard to fill the manifold
duties of his Job.
When his employer decides to close
shop, he walks to the outskirts Of the
town wondering how he will get along
in the future. Here he meets Sidney
Fletcher, a young man who had been
held up and robbed near the town.
Brick takes him to a boarding house
and befriends him, later introducing
him to Vivian Gates, the pretty daugh-
ter Of the local banker.
In order to stay in the town peIma-
nently, Sidney purchases the Gazette
and reinstates Brick in his old posi-
ton.
The scenes rapidly follow, showing
how Brick, by his quick wit and
plucky spirit, saves his employer
from a great deal of hardship and un-
just punishment because Sidney is la
ter arrested and thrown into Jail on
suspicion OF having robbed the bank.
And as this incident follows the pub
LEGATION of a scathing editorial against
Banker Gates in his capacity as pres
ident of the local power company,
things look pretty black for him.
The picture Is brought to happy
conclusion by brick who, by an in
genious scheme, brings the real rob-
Der to justice, clears Sidney of sus-
picion, and is instrumental in bring
ing together Sidney and Vivian, and
is himself acclaimed the hero of the
town.
1.-The Printers Devil" is Warner
Brothers classic of the screen, espe-
cially written for Wesley Barry by
Julien Josephson. Harry Myers, Kath-
crime Mcclure, Louis King, George
Pearce, Ray Cannon, Mary Halter and
Harry Rottenburg support Wesley in
the cast. William Beaudine directed
the production.

see how money is being spent. The
one infallible system, therefore the
only efficient system, is to make each
director and production manager re-
sponsible for their production, give
them every possible facility for ac-
complishing the work, and see to it
that not one minute of time is wasted
by them. If they succeed they may
stay there; if they fail they must go to
the wall This is according to the
law of life"

Head Stuffed By
Catarrh? Use A
Healing Cream

If your nostrils are clogged, your
throat distressed, or your head is
stuffed by nasty catarrh or cold, ap-
ply little pure, antiseptic, germ de-
stroying cream into your nostrils. 1t
penetrates through every air passage,
soothing inflamed, swollen men,
branes and you get instant relief.
How good It feels. Your nostrils
are open. Your head is clear. No
more hawking, snufffing, dryness or
struggling for breath. Get a small
bottle OF Ely's Cream Balm from any
druggist. Colds and catarrh yield
like magic. Don't stay stuffed up.

THAT beautiful word efficiency
has done as much to harm motion pic
lures as it has accomplished in the
business world" says Bosworth, who
is in the Selznick production of THE
Common Law" at the Bijou Tuesday.
Some directors Aave made it a fetish
absolutely destroyed smooth func-
ton systems by it. Motion pictures
must be made spontaneously. Effi-
cheney is a wonderful thing in the
realms of commerce, but in motion
pictures it should be applied to the
business end only, and not to the ar
tistic or creative side.
"TAe amount of time occupied in
photographing the scenes is the big
factor in determining the cost of a
produc ton, and this is directly up to
the director; by working steadily he
can save many thousands Of dollars
for the producer, while by 'stalling' he
might bankrupt the Bank of England.
While motion pictures require a fac
tory they also require an absolutely
pure art product, independent Of fac
tory methods. Any set of business
men who think that they can success
fully run a motion picture plant, indie
pendent of those with creative abil-
ity, are crazy. 1t drives them mad to

the soil is determined by the aid
Of a galvanometer. In this man
ner a kind Of electrical map Is
made OF the ground, from which
ii is possible to determine the
location OF perturbing elements
in the soil, such as masses Of
matter Of relatively high cleo
trical conductivity, like oxides OF
iron or sulphurets, which have
electric generative properties.
The method was first applied
in 1918, and it has since been
subjected to investigation by Doc

are favorable to the claim that
similar prospecting may be sue

Popular Theory.
The reason why this Swedish
discovery IL accepted by scien-
tific experts, while q cloud OF
doubt still rests over the older
form OF divination, notwithstand-
ing the strong testimony IN its
favor that mary observers have
given, is, Of course, to DO found in
the fact that the former involves
no unestablished, theory as to cleo
trical action.
On the other hand, when the
advocates OF divination by witch

persons possess electrical quail.
ties of such nature that they
are able, by the aid of such simple
devices. to detect invisible and In
tangible things concealed IN the

their theory upon established and

there Is no similarly unwarranted
assumption involved in the explain
alton OF the Swedish method OF
electrical exploration which rests
upon well-known scientific data.
I am sure that no scientific man
