AT THE MOVIES
rrTlNCE THEATRE

Thrills Of the sort you see once ~
q lifetime arc promised in "Mcn Of
Steel the big stcc! Especial with
Milton Stills in the starring role at
the Eltingc for. today and Friday anu
Saturday.
Sills has always been known as a
sherman" In past pictures he has
been called upon to perform some
hard s"ats, but in "Mcn Of Steel nc
surpasscs anything in the "hc-man'
stuff that he has ever done on The
screen.
For example, there is a scene IN
which Stills, hanging from an iron
hook and chain, is swung down into
q vat in a steel mill IN which victor
McLaglen is threatened with death
from molten steel that is surging to,
ward him. McLaglcn grasps Sills
feet and a huge crane swings Sills
and mis- heavy and precious burden
out of the vat and over masses OF
molten steel, dcpositing him in safety
at the other end Of the big room.
This was stared in the Enslcy
Mills Of the Tennessee Coal and IRON
Company plant at Birmingham, Ala.
and had the steel workers on edge
while it was being filmed. McLagien
is = big, heavy man. and when inc
scene was over Stills knew he had been
carrying a real burden. A slip would
have meant an"thing to both Of them.

To Surrey Salt Lake

The Great Salt lake has never been
surveyed by the government and the
work, an extensive task, is about to be
begun by the geological survey and the
general land office. The survey will
be an investigation of its resources
and possibilities as much as anything
else
Tracts of land found containing
valuable salts will be designated and
classified. The general land office
through its government surveyors will
undertake the running over the en-
tire desert of the Salt lake base line,
first standard parallels north and
south. the third guide meridian west
and such other controlling lines of the
public land survey system as are
deemed necessary.
Because of the saline and salts de
posts throughout the area the sur
veyors will be compelled to use wood
en- posts or suitable material to mark
the course of these lines across the
desert Should the regulation iron
posts be used as markers in the sur
vey. ii is believed that they would
soon be corroded.

BLACKS CLOTHED IN

From the Crusades.

The different races of central Az
those who have been Islamized by
Arabian penetration, the Mohamme-
dan colonies, and those who, taking
refuge in the equatorial forests, have
followed Indigenous customs or
fetiches. The recent Harrdt-Audouin-
Dubreuil expedition to Madagascar
crossed the boundary between Islam
ism and fetichism at the Shari river,
which flows into Lake Chad.
The River TOuaregs, of which the
Olliminden tribe is the most impor-
tant, have black skins. They drape
themselves in indigo wells and con
ceal their faces with the classic Titan.
They have sharp penetrating glance
and Il proud bearing, the warriors car
rying hide shields decorated with the
Maltese cross, and their weapons are
the lance and the scimitar.
Their general appearance and the
prevalence of the cross in their
drawings and in the written charac-
ters of the Targui language have
suggested very fascinating hypotheses
on the ancestral relations between the
Touaregs and the Crusaders.
Whatever the facts may be, traces
of the Crusades are still found in the
vicinity of the Niger. The Djermas at
Nancy and DosSo, on important Oc-
caSions, adorn themselves and their

An even more striking evidence of
this survival Of the Middle ages wait
ed the expedition at Maradi, a Niger
village not far from the borders of the
British pr0teCtOrate of Nigeria. This
is the region Of the black sultanateS of

When the sultan Serlly Monssa APP

back to the Thirteenth century.
close examination of the coats of mail
showed that they were OF European,
and not of Saracen, make.
In reply to question: the natives
said that they had always had these
iron coats" which were very an
cient and dated back lat least to the
times Of their grandfathers. The
blacks invariably used that expression
to designate an uncertain origin, for
their notion of time is very vague.
How do such things happen to be
found at Maradi? 1t is probable that
they were transported across the
desert from Tripoli in ancient times
and that they were the spells of war

founders were religious body and 1t
was natural that the earliest con'r'-
buttons to the collection took the form
of manuscripts and books dealing with
religious subjects. It's growth was
small. it's field limited, and 1t was not
until the middle of the Nineteenth
century that the number of volumes
increased to any great extent, when a
large law library was added to 1t.
