Study Problems of
Govt, Daniels Urges
At Alabama Tech

Auburn, Ala, May 19-(AP)-Jo-
sephus Daniels. secretary of the navy
in the Wilson cabinet, in a COM
mencement address at Alabama
Polytechnic Institute today appealed
to scholars to give their learning to
the solution of the problems of gov
eminent. Mr.. Daniels said:
Though l am speaking to SOU
thern people today the need is as ur-
gent in New England as in the south.
If there has been lowering of the
standards of greatness in it's leaders
in the southern representation, the
same thing is equally true in New
England and in the middle west. If
we deplore that Biease sits in the
seat of Calhoun, Is 1t not quite as
great evidence of lowering Of
standards that Butler rattles around
in the seat of Daniel Webster. There
is this to be said about Blease's cleo
ton. He appealed to the people and
having made him they can unmake
him If they choose"

AUGUSTA OPERA HOUSE

Mary Astor, Jacqueline Logan,
Olive Brook, Collier, Swiekard and a
score of others "Playing with Souls"
We should not have to add another
word, except that the production is a
stirring one, with a glittering gaixy
of gold, girls, gowns and gayety. $50
this is Paris"-and so it is! You'll
revel in the sheer revelry of this fas-
cinating cinema-and when one
thinks of Mary Aston, angel like, in
this vortex, the plot is exceedingly
promising. The second feature is
another treat, with Ethel Clayton,
Madge Beilamy. Charles Farrell in
wings of Youth, another brilliant
photoplay. In sum, this program of
both features is sure gloom chaser
and also a two reel comedy, entitled
''Dumb and Daffy." There is enter
tainment of the right kind with a
kick to it, and with vengeance, at
the Augusta Opera House, today and
tomorrow. Showing continuously of
course.-Adv.
