IN SILK" AT
 LIBERTY THEATRE TONIGHT

Hearalded as the best picture vel of the jazz series, Sinners in Silk, ' a Hobart Henley Production, plays at the Liberty theater tonight. It tells not only of youthful jewellers grow ing older, but of elderly jewellers growing younger, and is said 10 con- tain some of the peppiest and most interesting scenes yet made Of life in the younger smart set.
 The elderly group which enters the life of today is represented in the picture by Adolphe Menjou, who plays the role of a gentleman of un- certain years who takes the Stei- mach rejuvenation treatment and jumps with a bang into the high powered activities of younger SO ciety. Menjou, who has become g firm favorite in parts where he ap- pears as a blase, cynical, and yc1 humorous individual, is said 10 he more blase, cynical and humorous than ever before in this production,
 Eleanor Boardman plays the role oi girl who is attracted in spite Of her self to this old-young charmer Con, rad Nagel is the young man who real ly loves her. One Of the features oi this picture is a bevy Of beautlful girls who appear as the different types of New York's smart set. Some of these players are Miss du P0nt Virginia Lee Corbin, Dorothy Dw8n Ann Luther, Peggy Elinor, Eugenis Gilbert, Mary Aitken and EsteIls Clark.
 Sinners of SiIk" a Netro-GoldwyI picture, was adapted by Carey Wi son from an original story by Ben jamin Glazer. It is a Louis B. Naye- presentation.

ELIZABETH CITY
BECOMES PORT.

Fleet of Five May Be Only Be-
ginning Of Fulfillnent OF
Miles Clark's Boyhood
Dream

A boyhood dream OF Miles
Clark, to own a fleet OF oil
tank steamers, covering all the
sounds and rivers of eastern
North Carolina, that reach deep
into the trading territory of
Elizabeth City, is coming to
pass. His new steamer Val
encia, a 6O,0OO-gallon tanker,
launched the other day, to be
complete next month, is anoth-
er big step toward its fulfill
ment.
This bi; steamer. So feet long. and
costing more than S50.OM Is the
fifth Of a fleet OF steamers this en-
terprising Elizabeth City business
man owns, and Is using to carry
Texaco products over northeastern
North Carolina waters, and with
his fleet. he reaches into every com
m,mlty. where he has 80 firmly
established and entrenched his In
tercsts. as to be able to look ahead
to the building Of as many vessels
AS the increase IN his trade may
demand.
The completion Of the ValerEda
next month, VIII mark also, a new
erea tn shipburding In Elizabeth
City. She Is the largest steel ship
ever built here, and was construct
ed after Mr.. Clark's idea OF what a
tank steamer should be, based on
his experience from boyhood In the
oil business. When he has tested
the Valencia, and tried her, out IN
service, he will know how to I'm
prove on the additional vessels nc
will build.
Elizabeth City has truly become
port of oil tankers. and from this
point millions Of gallons annually
are shipped to all the sound and
rives country.

TO ASK WIDER
WATERWAYS IN
TO THE SOUND
Federal Government to Be ask
ed to Create Harbor of Re-
fuge Near Roanoke
Island

The creation OF deeper
waterway thru the Carolina
Coast. into either Albcmarlc,
Pamlico. or Roanoke Sounds,
will shortly be sought OF con-
greSS, according to Captain
Dan ". Hayman, speaking be-
fore meeting OF the State
Fisheries Board, held at the
Dare County Homecoming last
week.
The idea of an inlet to provide
n harbOr of refuge. has been talked
for two or three years by ID. Is.
Fearing and others of Manteo. hut
Captain Hayman. who is a Dare
County boy making his mark as a
mariner has sailed the coast for
MANY wears. and knows the adran-
tareS of Il harbOr of refuge. for the
safety of ships that would AVOID
HatteraS during store.
Captain Hayman told his people
at the Fisheries Meeting that he
would take the lead in movement
to secure the Federal government :
aid in deepening Oregon Inlet. He
said thousand master mariners
stand with him, read to join in petl-
tioning Congress for this harbor. be-
cause they realize the tremendous
saving of life and property that
would be effected. if a harbOr of re-
fuge were provided north of Hat
teraS.
While many favor cutting a new
inlet or harbOr just below Nags
Head. and north of Oregon Inlet,
| there are some who believe other
means would leave the inlet pro-
position to take care of itself. f..
| s. ASkeW. now member OF the
Fisheries Commission Board and
State Senator Elect from BERTHE will
urge an appropriation to build a
(breakwater across Cr0atan Sound.
to divert the flow of water over
, the beach below Nags Head.
Mr.. ASkew'S object is to increase
our supply Of fish and our oyster
/ grounds by increasing the flow of
salt water into the vicinity where
the fishing industry needs to he
