WOMAN WILLIAM" RARE,
FILM PRODUCERS SAY
Public Simply Will Not Accept Ac-
treSses i'll That Role, With Elk
ception of Theda Bara.

Rv the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf. May IA
Theda Bara. in the belief OF James
I'ruZe, Paramount director. was the
only woman who ever scored a sue
cess as a screen villain.
Fifteen years experience has taught
Tasting directors and producers gen.
trally that women are things to be
loved, not hated. SO they have given
up the search for an actress to du-
picate the feat of Theda Bara in
'The Vampire" filmed more than a
decade ago.
The public cannot hate a feminine
Sillain." Cruze says.
Walter Woods. Lasky scenarist, eX-
plains it this way:
ON the screen YOU will notice that
the strongest villain characters are
portrayed by huge. brutal appearing
men. No woman can appear brutal
and incite fear by her very sight. We
have been taught for hundreds of
Years TO protect them and treat them
with courtesy. We have always felt
that women need mans protection.
1t is impossible to make a. motion
picture audience believe this is not
true"

TROPIC SCHOOL URGED.
u. S. Envoy Says Latin America
Needs Agricultural Instruction.

NEW ORLEANS, May n CP).-Roy
trasco Davis, American Minister to
Costa Rica. stopped in New Orleans
long enough on his way to visit his
Columbia, Mo, home to say that q
school of tropical agriculture should
be established in the South.
The future of the Caribbean coun-
tries lies in agricultural said Mr..
Davis. There are hundreds OF thou
"a nds of acres Of undeveloped lands
there as rich as the Garden of Eden,
but there are no schools to teach
scientific culture of the soil. Numbers
of Costa Ricans have asked for in
formation about colleges of agricuk
ture to which they could send their
fans for learning that would profit
them in the tropics.
THE interests Of the United States
ind attn American countries are mu
tual. If production could be increased,
good roads built and the country de-
teloped more in Central America, the
people there would have more money

AQUEDUCT BLAST
! DAMAGE IS SLIGHT
Los Angeles Water Feeder
Dynamited Second Time
Within Two Years.
~ The Associated Press.

BISHOP, Calf. May 14.-For the
second time within less than two years
the Los Angeles aqueduct, feeder for
the Los Angeles water supply from
owens Valley, was dynamited early
yesterday
The blast was set at point 60 miles
south of Bishop and tore hole about
II feet wide in the concrete water
way The intake was turned off while
repairs were made.
The dynamiting was the third high
light in the feud between Owens Val
ley ranchers and the City of Los An
Seles. In May, 1924, the aqueduct
was damaged by an explosion. No
arrests were made. as persons in the
valley professed no knowledge of the
placing of the explosives. On Novem-
her 16, 1924, a large party OF Owens
Valley residents seized the Alabama
gates Of the water line and turned the
water out into the desert as protest
against Los Angeles methods of &C
uuiring water rights in the district.

similar line drawn square to the
center of one of the sides lies
in one dimension only.
Free Mathematics
As we have just seen. nature
herself has provided us with an
internal sense OF these three
basal dimensions of the world in
which we live; but when we try
to relate them with an assumed
fourth dimension, appearing in the
guise of time, we have to resort
to free mathematics OF the order
OF "non1Euclidian geometry" in
order to get even a glimmer of
comprehension of what is meant
by Space Time
Mathematics at its birth was
founded on strict construction Of
the constitution Of the universe
as revealed through human
senses: but in certain of its ultra
modern forms mathematics now
demands for itself absolute lib.
erty of construction and re-forma-
ton, while it CONTEMPORARY

which are known quantities, but
please tell me what are these

They are represented by your

we are asked to substitute for

There is a very curious ma
chine in your ears which shows
how the idea of three funda-
mental dimensions is inherent in
the human being. This machine

upright. consists Of three little
channels followed out in the

them a suggestion OF engineer

of the canals is horizontal; the
other two are vertical, but these

How to Enjoy Your Own Wedding

II ding-provided it's not her
OWN wedding.
Not until she has been married
two or three times, does she really
get any kick out of playing, the
star role in the marriage cere-
mony.
At her first wedding a girl
suffers from stage fright, SELF
consciousness and haunting
anxiety as to whether the bride
groom will get there alive or not.
And she is so exhausted with the
nervous strain that they really
should have an ambulance, in
stead of a limousine, to carry her
away in!
But, by the third time she goes
to the altar. she walks with
firm, assured step, knows her
lines" by heart, and can go
through all the business" like a
Broadway actress after a long
run.
At her first wedding she is in a
state of coma. acts like a sleep
walker and can't tell you thing
about it afterward.. A murderer,
at his own hanging, is no nearer
TO being corpse.
But at her third ceremony her
eyes are swide open--and nothing
escapes her, from the lilies on the
altar to the clergyman's words
and the set Of the bridegroom
cravat She isn't committing her
self blindly to anything!
At her first wedding, girl
wears CHASTITY white, and insists
on having a sfx-yard train, IKE
a winding sheet, dragging behind
her.
But the third time she marries'
she tries to brighten up the scene
by wearing something more cheer
full: and she knows enough not
to have any impedimenta for the
bridegroom to stumble over, as an
excuse for his first husbandiy
profanity
Every girl wants TO make her
first wedding a memorable al.

witnesses to her triumph. lot or
bridesmaids trailing her, and her

But at her third offense she
wants just as few people as pos

bit SENSITIVE on the subject,
and the less fuss made over
the matter, the better.
At" her first wedding. a girl re.
