CHICAGO, Aug. 22.--7Life at Is
IS momentous episode!
Parents can't understand. They
dub the bloom of romance rs
puppy love- and threaten the
rod and bed without supper.
Thus reasoned Hazel Mitchell. Is.
little Scotcl-Irish girl when a week
ago her mother and the bov IS
mother sought to separate her from
her 10 year old sweetheart of Jew
ish faith.
Today the Scotch-Trish and Jew
lsh mothers look resentfullv aft
each other across the back norch.
FOR Hazel and Joe Medyeke. the
jewish boy have cloped-an Able s
IRISH Rose affair in real life.
Affair Starts Early
The Mitchells have lived in the
house where Mrs. j. Sack, the bov s
mother, is landlady for three weeks.
1t was either n case of "puppv
love- or love at first sight for the
Youngsters, say both mothers.
Or then again they may have
known each other before the Mitch
ellis moved to the apartment.
In any event Joe was vamned
good and securely. The second dav
of Ilazel's residence there the af-
fair was on.
Joe would whistle up the stairway
and Hazel would come tiptocing
down. She would tell her mother
she was going down to sit an hour
with Mrs. Sack.
And while Mrs. Sack drank in the
affairs of Cupid on the silver sheet
at nearby picture show. her son
and the little Scotch girl held hands
and promised eternal love in the
seclusion of the Sack apartment.
we thought we had it stopped -
Mrs. Sack said. "For a whole week

FUEL IS SOUGHT
FROM WHICH GAS
CAN BE EVOLVED

An investigation is now being
made for which $4,000 is available
for the possibility Of utilizing other
fuels for the manufacture of gas
than fuel oil. owing to the high price
of oil, according to the annual report
Of the gas and electric division of
the engineering department of the
railroad commission.
This investigation is being CON
ducted by the California gas re-
search council, with the cooperation
of the railroad commission engi-
reers. The possibility Of manufac-
turing gas from Ignite and other
low grade Goals, of which there are
considerable deposits in California,
will be investigated thoroughly. Ac
cording to the report valuable re-
suits may be obtained in the direc-
ton of turning these almost unused
natural resources TO Il beneficial
purpose.
The report also calls attention to
valuable results that have been OBJ
tained through scientific research
into gas manufacture in California
One of these results is the develop
ment of new process for the pur-
ification of gas, whereby valuable
by-products are recovered, the sale
of which pays for the cost of puri-
fication.
The report also calls attention TO
the valuable results obtained
through the commission s work of
enforcing standards for gas service.
AS q result of the commission s in
spcctions, the quality of the product
AMI its service, especially among the
smaller companies of the state, have
improved steadily with beneficial
results to the consumer.

MOVIE PRODUCERS
INTEND TO FIGHT
CONNECTICUT LAW
BY FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

/ NOultcu 1IcSS Quail COITeSpUIlucuLJ
NEW YORK, Aug. 22-The great
est fight against state interference
in the history of the motion picture
industry has been outlined to the
! United Press by spokesmen for pro-
| dncing companies and distributors.
A new Connecticut tax and cen
| sorship law is the crux of the fight,
which in its ramifications, involves
a potential loss to the industry of
millions of dollars annually, film
! men declared.
| The law provides that no film
! shall be shown in Connecticut until
1T has been registered in the state
office and Il fee paid. The law also
! makes the state commissioners of
! taxes censor of all films displayed
. in the state.
Having unsucccssfully combatted
: the measure in Connecticut, motion
! picture producers now plan to carry
: the question of its constitutionality
! to the supreme court of the United
! States.
The constitution, they say, pro-
vides THAT there shall be no burden
upon free interchange of trade
among states.
| Now comes Connecticut with a
proposal to tax films that enter the
state. According to both state of
ficlais and movie producers this tax
will net 100000 annually. But this
/ is the least Of the producers' wor-
rics.
eff the law stands in Connecti-
cut, movements will start immedi-
atcly in AZ other states to enact
similar legislation" the film mag
| nate said.
The film men hope first to OBJ
tam stay of enactment of the tax
! law in Connecticut which is due to
become effective next Monday
Then they will ask the supreme
court to declare it unconstitutional.
The law which the producers and
distributors are fighting was pass
ed blythe 1929 convention general
assembly. 1t provides that no film
shall be shown in the state until
it has been registered with the state
tax office and II fee of $40 for the
first 1000 feet and so cents for each
additional 1000 feet has been paid
and the seal of the tax office affix-
ed to the film.
News reels showing current
! events, scientific and educational
subjects and films to be shown for
religious, charitable, educational or
patriotic purposes, are exempt from
the tax but must carry the seal
of the tax office before they can be
shown.
A fine of 800 or GO days in iail
or both is provided for violation
of the law and the offenders license
could be revoked.
1t is the opinion of counsel for
the producers that the Connecticut
law is unconstitutional and q danger
Gus invasion of the film field
Should it be upheld, they say, there
can be only one answer.
The motion picture industry will
unite to shut off Connecticut entire
ly from films and the state will
have no movies save those that
are bootlegged. -

RIGHT TO CONTROL,
STATE LICENSE IS
UPHELD BY COURT

The supreme court of California
has denied the appeal of A. r. Greg
ory against the decision handed
down by the appellate court several
weeks ago, by which decision the
right of the director of the depart
ment of agriculture to refuse TO
register or TO revoke Il license is
sued because OF failure of licensee
to properly obey the law, was up
held. Gregory was manufacturing
and selling n material known as
"Qua-Sol, - said TO accomplish won
ders, but actually of little or no
value.
In handing down this very impor-
tapt decision, Judge Thomas ROlfe
Of the appellate court stated:
"Clcarly the legislature intends
by the act to not only regulate the
manufacture and sale of economic
poison, but intended, also, to protect
the large and valuable orchard and
horticultural interests of California
against fraud, imposition and mis-
representation ~ to the efficiency
Of anti4otes for germ and fungoid
diseases.
The controlling purpose of such
statutes, Gas the economic poison
act. is to guard the agricultural
public against spurious and worth
less cOmpounds-and to fix on sell
ets, statutory guarantee that (said
compounds sold by them shall con-
tain the chemical ingredients guar
antced by them, thus furnishing all
producers reliable means Of PROV
ing any disception thus attempted
As these statutes prevent frauds
and promote the agricultural in
dustry, they are strictly in the scope
Of legitimate regulations.

that in the a Juan Mountains of
Southwest Colorado. w. w. Atwood,
now professor of Geology at Harvard
University, described that as of Eo-
Gene age, tho it's exact age is quite
indefinite.
Glaciation of the same age as that
of Independence Rock occurs in
southern Wyoming between Rock
Springs and the Uinta Mountains
of Colorado. Another glacier or gla-
ciers spread northwest from the high
Uintas and left definite glacial debris
on the highest peaks and mountains
to the north. This debris has been
described by biologists as the Bishop
Conglomerate of Q~uaternary age and
recently the u. S. Geological Survey
has classified it as a conglomerate of
Miocene age. Boulders up to 20 TT.
long are found at an altitude of
about 5000 TT. ON Aspen mountain,
which were transported by ice so
miles from the Cambrian sandstone
of the Uinta Mountains. The top of
Diamond Peak, elevation of more
than 1000 it., near Sparks ranch, is
covered several hundred feet deep
with a glacial deposit which contains
huge boulders up to eighteen feet in
greatest dimension. These nave come
formation of Miocene age of that area
Uinta Mountains. The Browns Park
at least twenty-five miles from the
is younger than the Bishop Conglom-
crate and the glaciation which spread
from the Uinta Mountains.
On Miller Hill, twenty miles south
of Rawlins, and a part of the Cont
mental divide, glacial boulders occur
found just outside the limit of the
at an altitude of $500 it. These are
North Park formation of Miocene age.
This formation is clearly younger
than the glacial deposit. The boul-
ders are mostly granite and probably
came from the Wind River Mountains
as did the large granite boulders on
the Rawlins hills.
Other examples undoubtedly will
be found of this important glaciation
if searched for in likely areas.

WORKS DISPLAY
AT CONVENTION

NJ A H A, NEBR., JULY 21.-
When 100000 American Legion
naires come to Omaha next October
for the American Legion National
convention, they Will see the great
est display of fireworks ever staged
in America. The display that was
originally designed for the Coolidge
presidential Inauguration celebration.
augmented and enlarged upon by
the addition of military units, air.
planes, smoke screens, ETC., will be
shown at Ak-Sar-Ben field following
the military contests and horse races.
Immediately after the military
show, a French train, an exact re-
production of the trains the soldiers
, 1925-07-23

rode in France, will come ON the field
and Will stop at a model French
Village. American troops will dis
embark and will be welcomed by the
villagers with folk dances and games.
Afterwards the soldiers will go to
their billets.
Following this a fleet of German
airplanes will attack the village,
dropping bombs and going through
all the maneuvers of raiders. Ameri-
can anti-aircraft artillery will 60 into
action. Three Thousand men will
take part in this phase of the dis
play.
AS the battle progresses and the
firing becomes heavier the village
will be burned to the accompaniment
of explosions from twenty ammuni-
ton dumps which will be destroyed.
AS the village burns a fleet of
army airplanes will fly over and lay
a dense smoke screen five miles long
and a quarter of a mile high, upon
which fifty high power army search
lights will be concentrated, forming
a specstrum and lighting up the en-
tire field. 1t is at this point the in
auguration fireworks program will
be put on.
The climax of the display will
come when a huge set piece forty
feet high, showing an American
bugler, is set off. One thousand
buglers will unite in sounding taps
while the piece burns.
Following the fireworks the final.
lists in the drum crops, Woman's
Auxiliary drill teams and the band
contests will come on the field and
go through their final drills to decide
the winners in the competitions.

Federal law, which provides a pen
atty for the breaking of the State
game and fish laws upon National
Forest land.
1t is a source of considerable graft
fication to the local sportsmen that
the efforts OF the state game and fish
officers are beginning to bear fruit,
and the gentry of porcine propensi-
ties, whether miners, tourists, tie
hacks, or w%hat-nots, will be compelled
to observe the State laws or pay the
penalty.
1t is a particularly dastardly trick
to kill a doe at any time, and par
ticularly during this season of the
year when the taking of a does life
may also result in the death of two
fawns. Forest Ranger Bordahl is
today making an effort to locate the
fawns, and, if successful, the State
will provide for. their rearing if
possible.
