A PEEK EACH WEEK
AT MOTION PICTURES
"MoANA."

COME time ago we read series of
~ interesting articles in "Asia" by
Mr.. and Mrs. Flaherty on their ex-
periences of two full years in the TAX
ing of moving pictures of native life
on an island in the Samoan group. It
promised so much we have enviously
begged our New York comrades,
where the picture has shown for
months, to review it for us. Critics
have been lavish in praise of it and
have counted it one of the most beau
tiful films ever made.
Suddenly kind friend tells us that
it is being shown in the small theaters
in Chicago. A group Of six comrades
in all went to see it. The unanimous
verdict was unstinted approval as
being truly as beautiful as praised.
Here is something different-som
thing really worth while. We Gall six
of us) hold the event of seeing it as
a rare treat that comes but seldom,
and we advise all those who together
with us take "a peek each week at
motion pictures" to be sure to see it.
In "Moana of the South Seas" Mr..
and Mrs. Flaherty have given us a
sympathetic picture of native life that
is as beautiful as it is accurate. Here
is primitive life truthfully recorded.
Where nature is bountiful and the
land and the sea furnish all the ne
cessities of life, we are shown a whole
peoples mode of living.
The communal life of gathering
food, making clothing and shelter,
building up the character that will
hold the tribe together, are all pic
tured sympathetically, dramatically
and with rare beauty.
How cleverly simple people adapt
themselves to environment! You will
marvel at everything, from the print
tive way of making fire to the making
Of cloth, baking of food and the re-
markable ability of the people in the
water, rivaling the fish, which is the
food they seek there. And, seeing
this, you will not mind watching an
attractive maiden coyly nibbling on a
small live fish whose tail still wig
giles.
A real unaffected native beauty is
part of these people. Physically they
are a treat to look at: fine bodies.
intelligent, friendly faces of character.
Here is man and woman, products of
nature, living where nature is most
generous in what it furnishes them.
No factory scenes are here to spoil
the charm of the picture, no evidence
Of superior" civilization where man
is exploited and degraded by his fell
low-humans. Peace and tranquility
and communal effort, simple in what
it produces, it is true, but beautiful in
its simplicity and without the mon
strous aspects of our own civiliza-
ton.
The physical beauty of the people
rivals the beauty of land and sea in
the South Seas. A whole family
chosen for this picture of Samoan
life are remarkable. Old age is grace
full, youth trimming with strength and
vitality, and a boy, Pea, is a little
lovable impish creature who climbs
cocoanut trees hundreds of feet high.
swims like fish, knows how to make
fire without matches (and without
being a boy scout) and naturally and
gracefully walks thru the picture and
into your affections. "Moana,"

WEST WIND SUITS
EVERYONE BEST, SAY
WEATHER EXPERTS

Every wind has its weather" said
Bacon, a good many years ago. The
weather bureau of the United States
department Of agriculture says there
is considerable truth in this old idea.
The prevailing direction of. the wind
in middle ATTITUDES from west 10
east, roughly. Winds Of any differ
ent direction, and especially shifting
winds, imply a storm disturbance Of
some kind. For instance, the cyclone,
or region Of low atmospheric pres
sure, is always accompanied by a
system of winds directed spirally In
ward, counterclockwise about the CEN
ter in the northern hemisphere, clock
wise in the southern. Now, this wind
system almost invariably moves east
ward and is nearly always accom-
panied by precipitation on its front
side and clearing weather to its rear.
Wind from the east may therefore
mean that a storm is close at hand;
wind from the west, that the storm Is
past and gone. Wind from the south
is commonly most humid and fire.
q%uently brings rain. Wind from the
northeast is obviously cold, and being
caused frequently by an approaching
storm is almost certain to bring dis
agreeable rain or snow, justifying the
saying:
"The wind from the northeast
Neither good for man nor beast.
The gentle west wind "suits ev~
eryOne best" and another old proverb
advises people to do business with
men when the wind is in the north
west" The weather bureau supports
this shrewd saying because when the
wind is from that direction at any
place in the temperate zone Of the
Northern hemisphere the weatheE
there is likely to be cool, dry, fine
and bracing.

There are a thousand difficulties to be met

NAVY INVESTIGATES
STILLS ON VESSELS
Death of Sailor Who Was Ex-
tracing Alcohol From Shell
lac Brings Inquiry.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, May 3.-Naval
authorities today started an investiga-
ton of charges that sailors operate
stills on board ships at the navy base
here. The inquiry is the result of
the death yesterday of Dewey &.
Blyckert, sailor attached to the De-
stroyer William Jones, who. was
fatally burned in still explosion
Friday aboard the Destroyer John
Francis Burns The sailor was eX-
tracing alcohol from shellac, naval
officers said Five sailors watching
the still in operation escaped injury.
The sailors had set up the still in
the engineroom, officers said, and
Blyckert was holding a blow torch on
it when the explosion occurred. The
blast threw flaming gasoline into his
face and set his clothing afire. AL
though his companions quickly beat
out the flames, hot gases had ap-
parently entered Blyckert's lungs.
Rear Admiral Frank Schofield is
i'm charge of the inquiry. The in
vestigation will include the entire
destroyed division here. he said. A
court of inquiry is conducting an in.
vestigation into the specific cause of
Blyckerts death.
Navy officers say it is not a secret
that alcohol has been distilled from
shellac and other ships stores. They
believe, however, that most of dis
tilling had been done ashore and some
of 1t possibly by persons other than
sailors.
