say which won third prize IN the

Ter was present, wearing the de
bate medal given By KiwanTans and

"The vast possibilities for good
are entirely too great for the civic
clubs to become mere luncheon
clubs" Steve Pace, speaking on a
motion to set aside one meeting in
each month for business only. The
motion was introduced by w. M.
Jones and was passed to the d.
rectors for consideration. Several
speakers thought too much empka-
sis was being laid on entertaiE4
ment and not enough on the ac--
complishments of worthwhile
things for the community.
The next meeting of the club
will be devoted to a study of a
new constitution and bylaws that
is to be considered at the interna-
tional convention this year. Bradley
Hogg will be in charge of the
meeting. Sam Heys, vice presi-
dent, will head the club during the

MAE MURRAY HERE
MONDAY AND TUESDAY

Mae Murray, for whom such adj
iectives as beautiful, dazzling, BIZ
zarre and bewitching seem to have
been expressly originated, is de-
termined to give something entire.
Nv different and unexpected in ev-
cry picture she makes. Her newest
Metro production, "Mademoiselle
Midnight" coming to thhe Rylan-
der Theater on Monday and Tues
day which her husband, Robert z.
Leonard, directed is just as differ
emit from Fashion Row" as 5he
latter is from her previous pictures,
In "Mademoiselle Midnight
Miss Murray plays the part of
great lady of the court Of Napoleon
the Third, and then the descen-
dant of the same character in Mex
leo many years later. Both these
roles lend themselves to colorful
Characterization of which Miss
Murray has taken full advantage.
Miss Murray is admitted By
members of her own sex to be the
best and most originally dressed
star. "Mademoiselle Midnight"
gives her every opportunity to take
advantage of her abilities along
these lines. In the picturesque
hoop skirts with all their quaint
eighteenth century frills Miss Muir
raw was never more beautiful and
charming.

This movement followed the return of the leading holder from the west. i United States Distributing, which ! has shown strength at frequent inter vals, was also in demand. and made substantial advance. and there was another brisk movement in Dubilier, which sent that stock to a new high record.
 Much of the business in Standard Oil issues was of professional character. room traders buying some Of those stocks and quickly turning to the selling side, but there were indi- cations Of accumulation On declines @hich was reflected in quick rallies from low levels. Prairie oil bad the widest range in this group. falling five points on an early decline and a loss of more than one point was sus- tained in Vacuum oil.
 Motor stocks were among the weak est features. Checker Cab declined 2 points to new lov record for the ytar. A further loss was sustained in Durant Motors. The Radio issues were fairly active, but without ma trial change in trading position. Ward Baking "A yielded four points.
