Remarkably free from sensational
ism. but gripping in theme under
stood by all. His People" is one OF
the outstanding screen offerings Of
the year. A neighborhood story with
heart throhs aplenty A perturbation
of the homely life in New York or
any big citys East Side. In its SIM
plicity, in it's presentation of types
there lies an appeal that one moment
has one choked up with the tear
ducts overlooking and the next mo-
ment flash of humor.
The outstanding character Is Ru-
dolph Schildkraut as Rabbi COMM
sky. He easily and without undue
effort carries an appealing and diff
cult role. A notable supporting cast
includes Virginia Brown Vaine, Ar
thur Lubin, George Lewis and KLte
Price.
An interesting part Of the picture
Is the rise Of Sammie, the scrapper
son, who is shown in preparation for
his career and later there is a very
good reproduction Of championship
bout and realistic knockout. The
story:
Rabbi Cominsky Is the father Of
two sons, Morris and Sammy. His
paternal affection turns to Morris
because the boy Is ambitious and
studious and studies to become a
lawyer. He dislikes Sammy on &C
count Of the lads Discrimination for
study. The father learns that Sam
my has become prizefighter under
a different name, and he disowns the
son and denies him the house. In
reality the boy turned to pugilism
as a means of helping his parents
and despite his disinheritance, he
still loves them. Morris on the other
hand, is ashamed of his parents and
when he succeeds in the law. he pro-
poses marriage to his employers
daughter and claims that he Is an
orphan.
His father is told Of the stand TAX
en- by Morris. Not believing the re-
port, he decides to find out for him
self Morris publicly denies his
father. Broken, the old man leaves
for his home. In the subway station
he runs into his wife and Mamie,

who had just returned from prize
fight in which Sammy had been the
winner over the champion. Mamie
learns of Morris's actions and tells
Sammy. Burning with indignation,
Sammy dashes to the home of Nor
ris's fiancee. He enters the dining
room and before the startled guests
he denounces his perfidious brother,
drags him out into the street. Ar
irving at his fathers house, he leads
his brother into the room where the
rabbi sits grieving. Realization Of
what he had done comes to Morris
and he begs his fathers forgiveness.
A soul stirring ending that replaces
a tear with hearty laughter sends the
audience home from one of the great
est character studies ever seen on the
screen.

Woman Motorists Found
Most Careful Drivers

In motordom at least, the female
OF the species is less deadly than the
male.
Statistics collected from different
cities indicate that women do not
literally indulge in the chance-taking
driving which seems to be the delight
OF certain types of male autoists. The
survey, conducted to determine wheth-
er caution and courtesy are instinc-
tive feminine traits, revealed the fol-
lowing interesting facts:
Women are not generally speeders.
Married women appear more care.
ful than single girls.
Few women are "one-arm" drivers.
But
Woman drivers appear to be more
dangerous than men during the period
Of instruction.
The women have little respect for
mo parking rules.
Some Of them lose their heads when
they get in trafic jam.
AS a class they are not more pro.
dcient than male drivers.

TESTS SHOW WHY
TIRES DON'T LAST
Bureau of Standards Uses
Machines to Determine
Facts on Rubber.

The following conclusions have been
reached as to factors which influence
the life Of tires, according to paper
which has just been issued by the bu-
reau of standards. Department Of
Commerce:
l.. A carcass in which the fric-
ton rubber Is slightly compounded
appears to stand up better under test
than one in which pure gum" is used.
2. Within the customary limits Of
air pressure used in tires, the higher
the pressure the better the tire will
stand up
8. Fabric tires develop a much
higher temperature than cord tires, and
their life is much less than cord tires.
Separation Causes Failure.
4. Separation, which was the prin-
cipal cause Of failure in these tests,
did not always take place in the same
location in the tire. It occurred in
most cases between the tread and
breaker. breaker and cushion, cushion
and carcass, or between the outer two
plies.
g. Any particular brand Of tire
usually showed characteristic type
Of failure.
.. Some makes of tires elbow outr
much sooner after separation has
started than others.
Z. Compounded inner tubes for
truck tires appear to withstand the
action Of heat better than those of
the pure-gum type.
Some Improvement Noted.
1t is interesting to note that of the
tires tested, in general not more than
one-half the samples passed the test
requirements, although a general i'm
provement was noted during the pc
Rod covered by the tests In the case
Of some tires.
The publication briefly describes the
testing machines developed by the bu
