PHI. PROVIDES FOR
FEDERAL CONTROL
OF FILM INDUSTRY
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.- Pro-
posals for federal commission to
regulate the motion picture indus
try are before congress again.
Representative w. 7. Swoope,
Pennsylvania, Republican, is au-
thor of a bill introduced in the
house to provide federal regulation
of the movies. Similar attempts
have been made for the last eight
years but without success.
"Motion picture regulation has
been adopted in every civilized
country" Swoope said todav. Even
Russia and Japan have forms of
regulation and pictures are actually
rejected in Toxic after being exhi-
bited in American pictures. -
Only seven states now have movie
censor boards, he said, and their
regulations are so different that a
picture rejected i'm one state is
frequently accepted in another.
Salaries paid on the local and
state boards are so small that the
right kind of people cannot afford
to accept appointments" Swoope
said.
GA federal board would be less
expensive to the people than num-
erous state boards or numerous
prosecutions in the local courts. 1t
would set the same standard of
taste and morals everywhere.

BABE DAVIS AND
RAYMOND TO MIX
NEW YEARS DAY

While the top half of the boxing
card scheduled for New Years af-
ternoon at the Imperial Valley Ath-
letic club, is naturally the main at
traction, fans who followed the
various fighters during the recent
season at fine ioca! arena are an
xious to see Babe Davis and Young
Raymond mix things up again.
These boys put up corking good
fight on the second last card the
club conducted, Raymond winning
after n red hot battle. They were
rematched for the next week but
could not get together as Ray
mond was called out of the valley.
Davis and his followers were never
satisfied that the former should not
have won the fight, and the return
match should be humdinger.
Joe Mandot, the old battler who
was present at the fall of TrOv and
through Grant s campaign in Vir-
ginia, will take on Young Baker of
Brawley in one Of the prcliminaries.
Joe is veteran among veterans,
but he can still teach many Young
ster lot about the fight game, and
that is what he proposes to do to
the Brawley kid. The latter has
ideas of his own however and may
turn the cards on the vet.
Keen Scrap Expected
Kid Williams and Kid Savage in
a ten round bout on this side of
the line is something the fans have
been waiting for the past three years
ana this attraction alone is enough
to pack the arena. Both big fellows
are training hard for the fight, and
promise to be i'll the best of condi-
tion.
The crowning spot in an all-star
card Is the ten round 90 between
Joe Brown and Joe Layman. Judg-
ing from their previous battle here,
when the weather was not the kind
that makes fellow want to hustle.
tins IS like throwing a lion and a
tiger into a pit and telling them
to GO to it.
Indications are that the arena is
gong to be a popular place next
frlday afternoon, and if the wealth
er man changes his tactics between
now and then, there should be the
largest crowd Of the year on hand
for the fights.

new IDEA HELPS
COLORADO Mines
TO BIG REVIVAL
by United Press Leased Wire

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 28.-Enor-
nous piles of slack, ore discarded
because it was believed valueless
has again come to life in Colorado.
BY means of q new process of ex-
tracing metals from ore, these
valueless' stacks are expected to
produce wealth far in excess of the
famed titanic gold deposits discov-
cred at Cripple Creek years ago.
In the early days of mining in the
state, low grade ore, or ore too re-
factory to be treated in mills or
smelters, was cast aside. Much of
this discard is rich in zinc and lead
and it also contains some gold and
silver.
Metallurgical experts say that
millions Of dollars worth of metal
is recoverable from these piles Of
Stag and large mining interests are
backing up these mems opinions.
Already mills are being erected in
five of the leading mining camps
for the treatment of low grade zinc
and lead ores. Mining experts are
combing the state for new sites.
The process to be used on the low
grade ores is what is technically
known as selectivp flotation.'
From Il non-technical standpoint.
selective flotation, is merely the use
of certain reagents, combined with
oil, which free the finely divided
particles of metal and make them
float on the surface of tanks whence
they can be recovered.
Most of the mining camps of the
state, where wealth was brought up
from the earth in bucketfulls, have
been practically deserted, but now
new activity abounds.
Mining men say that there is
much more wealth to be brought out
of the piles of slack than ever came
out of the ground, while unlimited
tons still remain to be mined.

NEED OF COMFORT
DEEMED ESSENTIAL
BY AUTO BUILDERS

AT their recent convention in De
troit the automobile body makers of
america said, in substance:
lleadroom of SO inches above
rear seats is insufficient. The ten
dency to cheaper bodies has gone
too far. Real utility-a combina-
ton of style with comfort-win win
out.
Comfort hasn t received a fair
share of attention. The policy of
bringing out yearly models is oppos.
ed as too expensive and unfair to
the buyer. One advantage of the
custom-built job is that it can t be
declared out of style overnight by
the edict of some sales manager.
From now ON, quality is going
to play more important part than
ever in body design and mmufac-
urc. -
