suspense element, caused by the
hero just missing finding the lovely
but sad heroine, has been we'll han
died. The photography and direc-
ton are both what you would ex-
pect to find in Meighan picture.
Both splendid. The story does not
give any member of the cast any
great acting opportunities. The
story gives Meighan a chance to be
knocked down by an automobile and
then suffer both mentally and ply
sically through the remainder Of the
reels.
It is getting more difficult to find
suitable roles for Meighan. Person
ally, I like to see him in roles OF
strong men, the sort who are
supposed to come from Alaska and
Canada.
This picture still proves that
Meighan has a wicked pair of fists
for fighting purposes.
One of the greatest demonstra-
tons that have heard in a movie
theater happened yesterday at the
Apollo when movies Of Lindbergh
starting for Paris were flashed upon
the screen as a part of the News
reel.
Emil Seidel and his orchestra this
week are playing some mighty sooth-
ing melodies. Kern Aylward is heard
in songs, and Earl Gordon is at the
pipe organ. The movie part of the
bill includes a Newlyweds comedy.
At the Apollo all week.

Never did better ambassador go smiling across
the sea.
His fight to Paris was more than gallant ges-

Behind him. as he hurtled $500 miles of lonely
sky this beautiful boy left the worlds newest rain
bow and as he fell to sleep at last in the American
embassy in Paris that structure gained luster lack
ing for many month and year.
Only too seldom in history are the hearts OF
common men touched by an emotion that leVels
boundaries and barriers. But as young Charles
Lindbergh moves in triumph through Paris today
the miracle seems accomplished. Once more the
worlds two greatest republics have discovered
mutual inspiration and understanding.
No thoughtless tourist is the hero the bouevards
cheer: no diplomat in braid and lace, envoy
seeking the debts of war; merely boy for every
father and mother in France to make their own.
And out of it all has come better apprecia-

From fields where glory does not stay.
And early though the laurel grows,

Now you will not swell the rout

A New Source for Taxes

Students of taxation should watch with inter-
est the workings of West Virginia's new 100000
year privilege tax the proceeds of OIL gas and
other mineral and natural produced within
the State. The United States Supreme Court, in a
test case, has just declared this tax law con-
stitutional.
This is interesting legislation Mexico has de-
cared that the federal government is the owner of
all natural resources and the taxes levied by
of this doctrine have been the chief bones of conten
ton between the United States and the southern
public. How West Virgnia's tax will be received
remains to be seen.

Learn the Game

Six years ago he made up his mind
to be an aviator, and went where he
could learn the game. Lots of tliers
may know more about the theory of
aviation, but none can do better in
the air.
One year ago he made up his mind
to undertake the New York Paris
fight, and went at it in the same
direct, corner-cutting manner.
He wanted Bellanca plane, but
was told one could not be made In
the short time required, so he went
to the Ryan company in San Diego.
The Ryan company built him a
plane in sixty days. He took 1t up
did a flip or two and decided that
it was all right.
Then he set out for the Atlantic
coast, making the fastest cross-con-
fluent run on record.
Waiting for the weather to clear,
he started for Paris, driving straight
for the goal he had determined to
reach without hesitation or consult
ing anyone.

Not Silly

Some people think it is silly for
the world to get so excited over the
triumph Of an individual. but it is
not.
Lindbergh stands for an ideal
which is common to us all, but
which has we'll nigh been smothered
by the drift towards system, and
Standardization.
People are sick of the clumsiness
of modern education. The long
winded preparations that are held
necessary for a career, the wasted
time our school and colleges are i'm
posing on student and taxpayer, the
wearisome system of rules and regu-
lations that has developed around
every calling and vocation.
They glory in Lindbergh for prov
ing that some Of 1t can be dispensed
with. -

THREE HEADLINE
EVENTS AT COLONIAL

Laura La Plante, Tom Moore and
Bryant Washburn form a trio in
THE Love Thrill" at the Colonial
this week that has all the essentials
of good comedy drama.
Miss La Plante, as usual, has
chance to put on some gorgeous
gowns and make herself as beauti-
full as she has been in the habit of
doing in her former pictures.
And Tom Moore, who has been alb
sent for too long a time, is his old
self in a role that fits him per-
fectly. Cast as a romantic African eX-
plorer who returns home from an ex-
petition and finds out that the world
considers him dead, he finds plenty
of opportunities to draw upon that
personality that most every one
likes.
The story tells of father and
his young daughter who are in the
insurance business and are having a
hard time of it to make things go.
Miss La Plante, as the daughter,
thinks up scheme to get big con-
tract out of one of the wealthiest
men in town and starts in on COM
plicated round of adventures.
Bryant Washburn as the would be
client proves an easy customer when
approached in the right way. He
hears of the death Of his explorer
friend and also hears rumors that
his friend had been r1cgried just be-
fore he died.
1t ends up with Miss La Plante
impersonating the supposed wife of
the friend by means of the sympathy
she gets trying to get the insurance
contract out Of the wealthy young
man. Things don't work out as
they should and some good comedy
results from the situation when the
explorer returns home very much
alive.
Included on the bill are Koran"
a mysic on the stage; the Golden
Peacock Orchestra, and news reel.

Observer).

v Says:
Lindbergh's Triumph Over
shadows Everything Else
That Occurred During
the Weekend.
By Nj. Z. Tracy

Lindbergh's triumph overshadows
everything else that occurred during
the week lend.
You just can't get away from the
thrill of it. You want to keep right
on thinking and talking about it,
though imagination fails to grasp
the picture and words are power
less to describe it.
For once, in this hectic, quarrel
ling generation, the civilized world
is in enthusiastic accord.
Before the solitary achievement
of this young man. the petty rival
ries and jealousies Of nations are for
gotten.
What explains this unanimity,
this common bond that makes all
people forget their dickering and
suspicious and join together in pro-
longed applause?

TOM MEIGHAN APPEARS
IN A MELODRAMATIC MOVIE

Tom Meighan has now gone in
for melodrama in his latest movie,
Blind Alleys"
Blind Alleys" has all the episodes
which one expects to see in such a
photoplay.
You will find the hero suffering
as a hero should suffer in a melo-
drama. And you will discover that

Working Alone

The public goes wild over Lind
bergh, not so much because of what
he has done, though that is marvel
Gus, as because of the way he did it
the simple, Straightforward way.
Go back over his career ard you
will not find much lost motion or
wasted effort.
He learned to be independent by
working alone, and gained courage
by constantly trying new stunts.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-05-23
Not Encyclopedia

Lindbergh did not start out with
the idea Of becoming an encyclo-
pedia.
He set a mark for himself and
drove straight toward it, refusing to
be sidetracked by academic study,
or clutter his mind with work that
did not help.
In college, when he had mastered
one point he went to the next, and
when he saw no more points worth
mastering he quit.
He may have made poor grades,
but his ambition was not smothered
beneath a junk heap Of formal
knowledge.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-05-23
Should Have Finished

According to the professors. Lind
bergs should have finished his COL
lege course. They will tell you he
would be better fiier il he had.
According TO the experts, he
should have been a navigator, or
have taken one along.
You can go to the technicians and
prove that he started out in too
small machine. and you can go
to the doctors and prove that a
man couldn't possibly stay awake
so long in an airplane.
The fact that he defied most of
the prescribed rules and regulations
and won, however, is an argument
that is hard to beat.

Mass Moral

Mass production has led to a be-
lief in mass morals.
BY counting money in the bank to
prove success, we have learned to
prove that is right by counting
noses.
Somebody says put on straw hats
and every one complies. The uni
versity with 10000 has come to be
looked upon as better than the uni
versity with 1000 students.

and the fact that he did it alone is
still more important, but most i'm

How is liquid air produced?

Air is compressed TO a high pres
sure. The heat produced by COM
preston is removed and the air is
allowed to expand through a valve.
This produces cold. The cold Of tile
escaping air is used to cool the IN
coming compressed air by a heat
interchange. This eventually rem
ders the temperature at the valve
so low that a part OF the air is
liquefied, In some plants the eff
cheney is increased by causing the
expanding air to work in an eXpan-
sion engine. A gallon Of liquid air
can be produced by the expenditure
of about twenty horse power hours
without an expansion engine.
