wood held firmer grip today on
its title as the film capital of the
world.
The announcement that all pro
duction activities of the Famous
Players Lasky Corporation would be
transferred Immediately from the
Astoria, Long Island, studios to the
west coast, centers practically all
motion picture production in Holly
wood.
All of our producing activities
in the future will be concentrated
in the motion picture capital of the
world, which has attracted to itself
all of the artists, directors. writer's.
and other creating forces engaged in
the production of motion pictures, >
Jesse L. Lasky, vice president of the
corporation said.
For some time we have been
making about p per cent of our pie
lures in the east. This was partly
due to the fact that our old studio
did not offer facilities for more
production. Last fall we opened
our new studio which is the biggest
and best equipped in the world and
fully capable of taking care of our
production in one plant.
I've can make all our pictures in
Hollywood and make them better
than under the present system.
There will be no reduction in our
production schedule, he declared.
B. P. Schulberg, youthful head of
the West Coast Studios. said that
with the consolidation of the east

the greatest assemblage of talent in

TEN examinations were held today

Four of tn babies were buried but.

effort is being made to verify this
conclusion. -

While the concert will have a

being no attempt to place the re-
citaI on n profit making basis. Ad-

TRAFFIC CAPTAIN
SETS RECORD BY
STICKING ON JOB
First Head of Squad to
Remain in Office Over
One Year.

Captain Frank Oswalt of the
state traffic squad celebrated an
anniversary yesterday. 1t marked
one year of service at the head of
the Imperial County motor vehicle
men and set record for time serv.
ed in that capacity, five men having
headed the department in its three
years of existence previous to the ar
rival of Captain Oswalt.
No man can handle the job, -
seemed to be the general belief
when Captain Oswalt took over the
reins. A friend bet the captain he
wouldn't stick on the Job for six
months and the captain made him n
second bet that he'd stay at least
a year. He won both.
And in addition to staying on the
job Captain Oswalt, in the opinion
Of the county supervisors and the
motor vehicle department has made
the Imperial County squad one of
the most effective in the state. An
official in commenting on the traf-
fie squad had the following to say:
''For long time we ran into diff
ficulties with the state traffic de-
partment. At practically each meet
ing CT the board of supervisors of
the county string of motorists lin
ed up to make complaint against the
manner in which the work was hand
led by the patrolmen. Today we
have one of the most smooth work
ing machines in the state and no
complaints are brought before the
board.
Captain Oswalt has more than
succeeded in his work. During the
first month of his service more than
LOO motorists were stopped on the
highways, but only a little more
than $500 was taken in in fines.
Warnings were issued and the mo-
torists were told by the officers that
they must discontinue violations.
They were Informed that the state /
police were on the job for their own
protection and sought cooperation
of the motorist in making the cOun-
ty highways a safe place for the au-
tomobile.

Meat Quality To
Be Made Known
By New Method
ny United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, March 3.-Details of a
plan to grade and stamp beef in
such a way that the housewife, buy
ing the meat IN her local butcher
shop, viii for the first time be able
to know precisely the quality of
meat that she IS getting, are being
%orked out hare by officials of the
National Better Beef Association
ard packers representatives.
1t is the intention of the packers
to inspect, grade and stamp beef
under direct supervision of the gov,
trnment. Two grades will be used,
"U. S. Choice and gu. S. Prime
and the stamping will be carried
through on the meat so that the Gus
toner can see it.
In the agreement adopted by the
National Better Beef Association
and the packers representatives
providing for the stamping, there. rs
a clause to the effect that the plan
will be given a trial to ascertain if
there is a favorable public reaction
to it before it is permanently adopt
ed. According TO the association, "a
few butchers who have adopted the
method independently have report
ed that it increased their sales sub
stantially.
The plan, officials of the associa,
tion stated, not only enables the pub
lie to know what it is paying for
but il also marks the effort of the
