What Chains?
A Roof to the Earth.
BY Arthur Brisbane
Copyright 1925 by Star CO.

-Copyright 1925 by Star Col
IN Chicago three brides were mar
ried at the same time, each carry
. ing a coal.black kitten. Thirteen
guests carried 10 black cats. The
idea was to show contempt for super
stitition.
At that wedding disease germs
were more important than supersd-
tons which were defied by breaking
13 mirrors and in various other
ways.
Any collection of Is black or
white cats is sure to carry a COM
plete assortment of contagious dis
ease germs.
An experienced health officer says,
@there is no hope of wiping out
such diseases as diphtheria, scarlet
fever, whooping cough as long as
children are allowed to play with
cats. They collect the diseases and
bring them home to the children"
IN one year the assets Of 80 insur-
ance companies have increased eight
hundred millions, and their total as
sets are more than nine thousand
million dollars.
OF this large amount, New York
state owns more than half, which
shows that money in America turns
to New York as it concentrates in
London, across the water.
AN ardent British radical, who
"A thinks he believes in commun-
ism, urges men of the British army
and navy to mutiny, "throw off
their chains" and take the govern
ment from the tyrants that control it.
British soldiers and sailors will
mot throw off their chains because
they wear none.
Outside of Russia the world at
large is farther from communism
han it was before the war. And it's
! long way from it in Russia.
EARNED men including church
Emen once taught that there was
A roof to this earth; solid, held up
Hits own strength and called the
ky.
When Calico denied it and said
he EARTH was a round ball whirling
round tlse sun, he had to get down
N his Knees saying that he "re-
racted, abjured and abhorred his
alse tcaehings"-which happened to
be perfectly true.
THE idea of solid sky above us,
j with stars planted in it here and
here, faded out. But the radio e.
perts of the navy say the earth &C
ually has a roof" Of another kind.
I exists, presumably, where our thin
Atmosphere melts away into the
,ther, IAN ionized region in the high
pr levels of the atmosphere" the
scientists call it.
THE "imponderablc ether,p go
i dense that solid steel in COM
parison is like a coarse fish net,
certainly does enclose our earth and
Is thin atmosphere.
Radio waves such as we use may not
be able to travel outside that atmos-
bhere. If so, science will find some
bther wave that will take messages
o other planets.
If light producing waves can
rayel from the sun to the earth,
men will find some ways that will
larry information from the earth to
he sun and beyond.

Extradition.

The Canaday case approaches a
final SHOW down."
As a policewoman left New York
Saturday for San Antonio, with an
extradition rcquisition calling for the
removal of Mrs. Canaday to that city
to face kidnapping charges, Judge W..
C. Linden, her counsel, prepared to
return from Kerrville to this city to
combat the proceedings.
Mrs. Canaday was indicted by a
Queens borough grand jury for kid
mapping following her taking of Ros-
coe Jr., July 7 from the home of his
father in Forest Hills, N. Y.

FAMILY ALONG.

The King arrived Saturday morn
ing at the Gunter Hotel, ready to
take IN his weeks engagement at the
Majestic Theater.
With him was Mrs. Snodgrass,
Harry Van Snodgrass, % years old),
and J. NJ. Witten, "Archduke of
Announcers.
Members of the party ere some
what tired from their railroad trip,
and the Snodgrass family had a quiet
nap in their hotel room first.
Smoking cigarette after cigarette,
the King quietly discussed music, his
hobbies, how he likes the public and
the South, radio and what he will
do when his vaudeville career is over.

MOVE EXPECTED.

Mrs. Canaday recently surrendered
here on fugitive warrant from New
York and was liberated on her own
recognizance pending hearing Of the
case.
IL have been expecting this move
momcntarily," Mrs. Canaday told a
reporter for The Light when informed
Saturday that Policewoman GenevieVe
Mclaughlin had been sent here.
She expressed confidence that Gov
crnor Miriam Ferguson would refuse
to sign the extradition request made
by Governor Al Smith. This belief
was based on the fact that New York
courts have refused Governor Fergu-
sons request for removal of Canaday
to Texas where he is under indict-
mcnt for assault in connection with
the first kidnapping of Roscoe Jr.

PUTS FAITH IN MA.

81 believe that the governor will see
that right is on my side and will not
accede to the New York requisition, ="
Mrs. Canaday explained.
Governor Ferguson will be consist
cnt if she follows the decision of the
New York authorities that a parent
cannot kidnap its own child. My de-
pendcnce is placed in the support of
my friends.
"They have been working with me,
as have the Texas courts, because
right is on my side"
WILL FIGHT EXTRADITION.
Judge Linden previously had stated
that he would fight cxtradition, pro-
cecdinss to the limit. He also predict
cd that Governor Ferguson would not
honor Governor Smiths extradition
request.
The attorney is expected to reach
here Monday when he will complete
plans for the legal battle to prevent
Mrs. Canaday's removal.
Mrs. Canaday has been at subur-
ban home since her return from New
York, recuperating from the strain
occasiOned by her five unsuccessful
attempts to regain possession of her
son which she finally accomplished
while the father was away from home.

LIKES GALVESTON.

His mild brown eyes smiling in
tempo with his humorous mouth, re.
vcaling a set of white teeth, he gave
his reasons for liking the Olcander
City.
"To begin with, 1 like the South, "
he said.
Everybody is always good hu.
mored. There is ease, beauty and quiet
here, and everybody is so nice, too.
Then there are the palms, the flow.
ers, and the care with which they arg
kept up in Galveston. OF course, I've
been told that after l lived there a
while, might not like it so well, but
at first sight, l was greatly I'M
pressed"
The king then told of the letters
received daily, mounting up into the
tens of thousands.
One radio night brought in 1900,
he said.
These are less than 1 per cent of
the audience, he explained.

Some Engineering.

TEN tanks, each holding 700, 900 gall
Ions of water, it is claimed, had
to be built for the scenes in The
Phantom of the Opera" in which the
five underground cellars of the Paris
opera house are flooded by the Phan-
toms evil trickery.
The construction and staging of this
flood scene is said to be one of the
biggest engineering feats ever. at
tempted in motion pictures.
In order to achieve successful re-
suits, the cellars were actually built
underground, in the base of a large
hill on the Universal ranch. For the
excavation IL pneumatic drills were
worked continuously for weeks, under
the direction of a group of mining en-
gineers, and number of miners were
brought from the famous Palisades
mines in the Northern Sierras. When
the five tiers of cellars were eXcavated
they had to be reinforced with steel
and concrete and completely wired for
electric lighting.
For the flood scene the tanks were
arranged in circle about half way
up the hill, above the level of the ex-
built tunnels leading to the cellars.
The tanks were constructed so that
at signal traps in the bottoms were
released and 100000 gallons of wa
ter rushed with terrific force into the
excavations.
A whole battery of cameras and
cameramen was suspended on scat
folds and on RATS in order that the
scenes might be photographed with
certainty, as it is obvious the scene
could not be rehearsed nor taken over
again.
This was for one of the climatic
scenes in 1.-The Phantom of the OPP
era"
