DOES IT PAY?

The recent automobile crash at
Coopertown crossroads which cost
the life of one of the County's leading
physicians when his small sedan was
struck and demolished by a high
powered motor car is only another
examplifcation of the criminal folly
of speeding on the public highways.
With all due respects to such legal
technicalities as the Fright of way"
etc the underlying course of this de-
plorahle tragedy was simply the mad
haste of pleasure party to avoid
missing a football game With moth
ing more important at stake than a
sporting event, safety was disregard
ed and chances were taken with the
result that a valuable life has been
sacrificed and young man of good
character is now facing charges of
manslaughter while two families
have been plunged into grief and
trouble. Does it pay

Aloma, beautiful native girl whose
gentle nursing brings back Bob's
former strength and mentality. Alo-
ma falls madly in love with her pa
tient and offers herself to him with
out any restrictions, but native
youth, Nuitane, who has loved Aloma
from childhood interferes and conflict
of races begins.
1t is a study in human nature civ
ilized and savage which rivets ones
attention from beginning to end and
is splendidly acted to the accompani-
ment of soft strains of enhancing
music, amid scenic settings the like of
which is seldom seen nowadays in
any theatre. The storm scene i'm the
second act is a marvel of stage me-
chanisan and is SO realistic that it
would be difficult to accurately de-
scribe it's effect.
Its cast embraces Mary Ann Dent
Ter, Harry C. Bannister, Ray Collins,
George Fitzgerald, Lily Kerr, Walter
Ayers, Ben Taggert, Ruth Abbott,
and other stage celebrities. Native
South Sea Island Dancers and
instrumentalists are feature of the
performance. Matinees are given
every Wednesday and Saturday and
special matinee will be played

wage increase for tonnage men, 81 a

a tonnage basis instead of by the car,

Observers here say that final insist

might likely produce an impasse with
the mine owners. These stumbling
blocks were given as the 10 per cent
wage increase, the check-off and any
demand for a contract longer than one

A PRGTfcTORHE PROPOSED


Paris-France and Spain will offer
Abd-el-Krim autonomy In the Riff reg
Son OF Morocco under Spanish pro-
tectOrate. This is one OF the principal
features Of the Franco Spanish accord
regarding Morocco signed at Madrid.
French official circles expect Add
el-Krim TO refuse the offer because
the leader OF the tribesmen now OPP
posing the French and Spanish In Mo-
rocco has repeatedly said that he
would not accept a Spanish protect
crate. 1t Is understood the Franco
Spanish agreement also provides per-
mission for French military forces TO
enter the Spanish Moroccan zone In
pursuit Of Abd-el-Krim's warriors and
for such other military operations as
may be necessary.
(The French have for some time
been seeking this permission and have
maintained they were handicapped In
combating Abd-el-Krim's invasion OF
the French zone by inability TO pursue
the Riffians when they retreated
across the border into Spanish terri
tory)
