Marion Harlan, cast as sally
MARSHALL in "The Gentle Cy-
Clone" Fox Films Western star
ring Buck Jones, which shows at
the Monroe Theatre today, hrs
been characterized as one of the
most beautiful of the younger set
now appearing in moving pictures.
She is dark-haired and daIk-eyed
and is one of the most vivacious
ingenues on the West Coast.
Marion is daughter of Otis
Harlan, famous stage and screen
actor. Her dramatic career be-
gan when she was a child in sup
port of her father at the old Selig
Studio in Chicago. But she soon
gave up picture work to study
dancing and was in the Metrop-
olitan Opera House ballet for three
years. Several years ago the Har-
lans moved to Hollywood and that
brought Marion back to pictures.
She did not want to get in
through her fathers influence, so
she started as an extra, but her
rise was very rapid. In the Jones

with a strong supporting cast, in

women throughout the United
States, for the reason that the
candidacy of Miss Florence f. Al

serious attempt to elect woman
to the upper house Of Congress,
While opinion differs as to the
chance for Miss Aliens success in
her senatorial aspirations it is gem
orally conceded that no more ca
pable representative of her sex
could be chosen for the high hon-
ors. As the first woman to be
elected to any State supreme
court she is already nationally

and a graduate of Salt Lake Col

as a musical critic. Then she
turned her attention to Law. took
her degree in 1913 and began the
practice of her new profession in
Cleveland, where within few
years her ability was recognised In

Ing If is true to the influence and
traditions of old Spain. The ex-
terror of pure Castilian Spanish
architecture is featured by the
Moreno treatment of the surface.
This Moreno resembling stucco is OF

shades of pink, green and white
mottling its roughly textured sur
face.
a spanish tiled roof adds a bril-
liant note of color, while the quaint
mission door with its wrought iron
hinges and hardware frame in

architectural types. In the little
niche near the doorway is placed 2
piece of Spanish pottery and beside
the door is an old Fashioned Spanish
light. Flagstone walks and terraces
surround the house and carved

Al Wealth Of Beauty
You'll Love to Live It
Bay Ridge Estates

Nature exceeded herself when
she formed Chesapeake Bay and
the surrounding country, providing
at the same time great natural
observatory from which to view
her handiwork. This observatory
IS at TolIy Point, Bay Ridge Es-
tates, and nowhere in the middle
Atlantic States can be found
more inspiring stretch of scenery
than this view from Tolly Point.
Many other views Of either coast
Of the Chesapeake are beautiful
and inspiring, but from this famous
point the highest coastal elevation
in Maryland-the vista IS simply
indescribable.
Here one may stand overlooking
miles Of country that for natural
beauty and historic interest is not
surpassed If indeed it is equallcd
the world over.
Many famous places make up
this panorama. Here at the mouth
of the Severn lies Kent Island, the
first and only principality IN Amer
lean history, where William Clai-
borne unfurled his flag and estab-
lished trading post, being finally
elected by the armed forces of Lord
Baltimore in the FIRST naval con-
flict in Maryland waters.
To the north just around the
corner - is the United States
Naval Academy and Annapolis,
where every inch of ground IS hal
lowed, where many houses OF pre-
revolution days are still standing,
where almost every street corner
and tree bear some historical sig
nifcance. Here are to be seen the
original mansions of Charles Car
rolf of Carrollton, William Pinkney
and William 4 Sands, who visited
George Washington times without
number. Here, too, stands the old
State House and the Senate Cham
Der in which our first President
gave up his army commission and
where the treaty with Great Britain
was ratified. Here one may visit
the Church Of St. Anne, with its
old tombstones, some ofwhich date
back to 1909; and the quaint tav-
ems and coffee houses and the mar
row streets opening on the bay, so
richly reminiscent of historic
pasta city stepped in the hal
lowed associations bound up with
Americas first patriots.

Positively the Finest
Waterfront Property
on the Chesapeake

Bay Ridge Estates has three
miles of Bay frontage every inch
Of which is fine, crystal sand beach,
providing residents with the best
salt water bathing to be had in the
entire area. And, IN addition TO
this Bay frontage, there are four
miles more of waterfront skirt,ng
the beautiful shores of Lake Ogle-
ton and Black Walnut Lake. The
former Is perfect land-locked har-
Dor, large enough to provide an
choraee for every yacht in this
vicinity, and is connected with the
bay BY a deep channel or pass.
Lake OCleton-like the Chesapeake
itsclfhas a gently sloping beach
which provides safe bathing for
even the smallest child.
No other suburb in this section
offers a finer opportunity for the
man who is fond of outdoor life.
Fishing, Boating, Bathing, Yacht
ing. Tennis and other outdoor ac-
tivities are Immediately available.
Bay Ridge was selected nearly
half a century ago by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad as the most
ideal spot on the Chesapeake for
recreational center and for nearly
two generations this great railroad
conducted excursions from Wash
ington and Baltimore to their chos-
en- garden of gardens" Here one
may enjoy tennis, bathing, sailing,
canoeing, fishing and automobh-
ing, and .equestrians may also enjoy
galloping over miles of the most
alluring bride paths in the coun-
try.
A direct and perfectly paved
road leads to Baltimore 80 miles
away, with Washington practically
equi-distant, while fast electric
service is available to either point
via the Baltimore, Washington
and Annapolis Railroad.
The quaint and ancient city Of
Annapolis but 80 miles distant
"just around the corner-and all
needed supplies may be purchased
at its famous and excellent shops.

Regulations Drafted for
Tetraethyl Lead Gas

Tentative regulations governing
the manufacture. distribution. and
use of tetraethyl lead gas and sug-
gestions for regulations covering
the sanitation of garages have been
submitted by Surgeon General Cum
ming. of the United States Public
Health Service, to the health of
ficers of the various States for their
consideration, comment and criti-
cism.
Those regulations. when finally
adopted. will mark q distinct step
forward in the safeguarding of the
manufacture and handling of dan
gerous chemicals.
OF far more Importance to in
dustria1 workers than the control of
the manufacture of tetraethyl lead
is the suggestion for regulations
covering the sanitation of garages.
During the recent Investigations OF
the United States Public Health Ser
vice of the possible health hazard
from the use of tetraethyl lead
gasoline. it was found that lead was
present in the dust of ordinary
garages. and in one instance it form =
cd as much as one percent of the
total inorganic matter. When one
considers that there are hundreds of
thousands of garage workers. the eV-
tent and well-nigh universal dis
tribution of this health hazard is at
once apparent. and the necessity for
sanitary regulation obvious.

Resin Will Chase
Jackrabbit Ball
In National League

New York. March 29-(AP)-Crit-
les at the major league training
camps forecast one radical change in
the game this year as result of de-
fensive measures to curb the long
hops Of the "Jackrabbit" ball.
From their observations of COM
parative pitching performances. they
have found no indications that the
resin bag has increased the effective
ness of National League pitchers over
hurlers in the American League,
which voted against the return of the
foreign substance"
They do assert. however. that the
epidemic of long hitting unquestion-
ably has been checked by deadening
the ball. Emphasis on old methods
of attack-hitting behind the runner,
Use of the sacrifice, and base stealing
is predicted on the basis of often
sive measures already used in train
ing camp contests.
I'VE have been using scientific
methods more than In the last five or
six years." says John McGraw. veter-
an pilot of the New York Giants.
THE ball we have been using does
not shoot through the infield any
more. The old jackrabbit is gone:
now we will see some real baseball"
The general Improvement in train
ing camp pitching, as noted particu-
larly in the comebacks of many vet
Grams, is attributed partially to alb
sence of the "jackrabbit" Home run
hitting also has been lighter than
heretofore, and critics consider that
the pitchers will figure as a greater
factor in the pennant races than at
any previous period since 1921.
