ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAI-"Chicken Feed"

NAIIONAI- Sn1ckpn r eeQ.
Chicken Feed" Guy Bottoms anus
ing contest of romance with the prac
tical side in life started with roars of
laughter at the National Theater last
night and kept another of those capac-
ity stock audiences interested and
amused until the final curtain.
From the husbands side, the story
is not so destructive of mans indie
pendence, although it introduces novel
theories concerning the division OF
the family income. Yet at no time is
the wife encouraged in the pernicious
habit of flirting with the bank roll in
the husbands trousers when he is
asleep. All in all, Mr.. Bottoms COM
edy preserves the proprieties and
comes well within the John Golden
claim of being a 100 per cent clean
American comedy.
The National Theater Players, eX
cept for one or two tiresome waits be
tween the acts, keep things moving
lively and pleasantly throughout. j.
Glynn Macfarlane. as a prospective
bridegroom, is thoroughly taught,
without utterly destroying his ideal
ism, the fact that marriage is not all
romance. but that there can be a great
deal of romance in it if both parties
are reasonable and considerate. Le
meta Lane makes an attractive bride
to-be, who also learns that the strict
principles of eternal justice must bend
a bit to the needs of the heart.
Ideal CharacteriZations are provided
by Edward Arnold, the live wire of the
village, who always, but once, finds
his fond plans for a fortune going
astray. and Lillian Dean, as his dear
oldfashioned wife, who, come what
may, just wants him with all his
faults, regardless of her share of his
money.
Romaine Calender is missing from
the cast. and in his place appears
Frank McNellis as the husband of
another couple, with Kathryn GivneY
as the wife, and Kathryn is, as usual,
excellent. Other roles are adequately
played by William Phelps, the unsuc-
cessful Suitor Of the bride-to-be; Wal
ter Soldering, as an amusing and curl
Gus old station agent; Thomas l..
Brewer as keen and grasping old
Judge, whose dear me, dear me,
when things go awry, makes you like
him in spite of his cOmmerciallsm;
Jack Rice. as an amusing office boy,
and Dorothy Tierney, as a young ste
nographer, with not much TO do in the
play.
Chicken Feed" is beautifully and
substantially staged. a characteristic
of all the productions thus far pre-
sented by the National Stock Com
pany.

TORNADO DAMAGE
/ PASSES S125,O)D
Only Two Houses in Rock
wood, Calf, Left on Orig
inal Sites-FiVe Injured.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LOCKWOOD, Calf. August IL
Damage estimated at S125.0 to
s175,oo0 resulted from the tornado
which late Sunday swept this Imperial
Valley town. A check-up of property
losses and casualties revealed that
only two of the towns approximately
20 buildings were resting upon their
original sites. Five residents are nurs-
ing injuries.
Irrigation bitches saved hundreds
from serious injury and possible death.
BY taking to these trenches when
they saw two funnelshaped clouds ap-
preaching. those in the path of the
wind kept their heads below the line
of flying timbers.
The fact that the two tornadoeS
met at lockwood is believed to have
saved Brawley, four miles from here
and other Imperial Valley towns from
serious damage. The tWiSterS tore
path one-half mile wide and four miles
long before they collided.
Tornadoes Rare.
Los ANGELES. August II LP.-
The atmospheric disturbance which
late Sunday lifted the Imperial Valley
town of lockwood off its foundations
was not the only instance of a tor
nado on record in California, Col. II.
B. Humphrey. head of the weather
bureau here. has announced. Esti-
mates of the damage, however. would
indicate it was the first violent storm
Of this type in the State.
The waterSpoutS seen off Santa
Barbara on one or two occasions We're
disturbances of the tornado type"
said Col. Humphrey. When it in
vades the land such a spout ceases
TO be a spout and becomes tornado.
Several years ago a light type of
tornado struck the west end of Los
Angeles, unroofing a house and Caus-
ing other not very serious damage. OF
course such storms have been so rare
that one almost can say California is
tornadoleSS State"

DANVILLE, Va, August 11.-Po-
lice warnings have been sent broad
cast as result of short-change and
sleight tofhand robberies here aggre-
eating 5000 losses at the hands of a
band of gypsies.
One of the gypsies went into a bank
and asked the privilege of touching"
some money to bring it luck. There
was a shortage that night. Another
sought the privilege of dropping
penny into a cash register for the
same purpose. There was a shortage
that night. The local negro bank was
entered by one of the gypsies, who
requested change for 500. There was
500 shortage in the banks account
that night.
Chatham bankers ordered the
gypsies out with revolvers. a year
ago Dave jefferson, the local under
taker, found his cash drawer was

After more than two years work,
the Union Oil company has com
pleted what is generally regarded as

S300.000 and covers more than 10000
square feet, all given over to labora
tories-and the nece essary work IN
connection with them--in which con-
tinual tests are beiIg made to improve
existing products manufactured from
crude OIL 1t includes the most COM
plete and advanced equipment for this
work in this country.
The research building IS on the same
site as the Unions Los Angeles re-
finery. which was started in 1917 and
is being continually improved and add
ed to. The refinery covers $50 acres
and ranks with the country's best. In
addition, Union Oil refineries are sit
uated at Oleum, on San Francisco bav;
Nvila, Mahha, Bgea and Santa Paula

flee following a controversy between

state land commissioner, after Mr..
Norviel resigned.
Mr. Trott is we'll known throughout
