blonde youth, apparently about 10
years old was found west of the via
duct IN the east end Of the Southern
Pacific yards at Yuma before Dawn

the boy had been killed by a passen-
ger train some hours before. PATROL
men Jess Ellis and Lloyd Mabery in
vestigated, but from superficial ex-
animation failed to identify the boy.
DR.. Hilary Ketcherside, railroad ply

boy had been dead possibly two or
three hours. The body was taken to
the johnson funeral parlors.
The boy wore gray cap with a
copy of Phoenix newspapeI in ths

Arizona product is equal to any, as
might be expected.
The dog chow in question was
evolved to serve as a balanced ration
for pets of the canine persuasion. 1t
is based on a combination Of meat,
milk, vegetables, barley and other
cereals. The firm is now producing
1920 cans day with force of five
men, and is planning immediate ex-
pansion, so rapidly has demand grown.
Young as it is, the new Arizona
industry has already attained dis
tribution throughout the West, and
is fast making it national. As was
to be expected the "Use Arizona
Products" movement of the Industrial
Congress with which the firm OUT
lined its program, the new product is
extensively used.

HAROLD LLOYD DRAWS BIG

The gales Of laughter that swept
through the audience at the Palace
theater last night proved beyond a
doubt that Harold Lloyd still is the
most popular comedian of the screen.
1.-The Kid Brother Lloyds latest
film although shown in the city only
recently, drew tremendous crowds at
its return to the Palace last night.
The picture was shown to two capa-
city audiences in which there were
many who had already seen the pic
ture once before. But they were the
ones that enjoyed the picture most.
For it seems that the more you see
it the more laughs you find in it.
THE Kid Brother" is the sort of
thing that we expect from Lloyd.
That is, its very unusualness of plot,
gags and action, make it stand out
and alone. In field as crowded as
it is large, Harolds friendly face
shines out. Truly has he been crown
and truly does he deserve a sccptre
rs the king Of comedy.
Tho Kid Brother will remain at
the Palace for today and tomorrow.
The companion feature on this
program is Evelyn Brent in THE
Flame of the Argentine
Because of a special arrangement
made with the producers of the pic
ture, 1.-THE Life of ST. Genevieve,"
which plays the Palace for two days
on Wednesday and Thursday, the
country store will be held on Tues
LAY night instead OF Wednesday.

AT RLALTO THEATER

A story of the great open spaces
with nary a cowboy. Indian or dirty
dog villain. A tale of Canada with
hardly any snow and not a single
Northwest Mounted policeman. If it
were only for these two facts THE
Canadian" Thomas Meighan's latest
starring vehicle which is playing on
a double feature program today and
tomorrow at the Rialto theater,
would be a fine picture. But add
stirring plot, one that has won sue
cess on the stage, add a splendid sup
porting cast, and better-than-
average film is bound to be the re-
suit. The film deals with the adj
ventures young couple undergo in
trying to wrest q fortune from the
wilderness and is crammed with big
scenes, the kind that have helped
Meighan to his present popularity.
The second attraction being offered
is the hilarious farce SOS Your Old
Man" with W. C. Fields in the ma
ior role. that of a small town man
who tries to be an inventive genius,
with varying success. It's a scream
of laughter from start to finish and
Fields scores another triumph. Sc
lected shorter subjects will also be
shown. There will be another Black
Bottom contest staged this evening
with valuable prizes to compete for.
Those desiring to enter the contest
should file application at the box Of
flee. Tomorrow evening another
surprise Gift Night will be held with
acceptable presents for the lucky
ones.

costly, they are not overdone but are
of quiet beauty in harmony with the
rest of this perfecly planned motion
picture palace. The grotesques pre-
pared by Cyril Cullen, a young New
Britain artist of note with a studio
in Paris, are most unusual being
modelled after those on Spanish
castles and unlike anything in this
country. They were prepared espe-
cially for the Strand by Mr.. Cullen,
who is long time friend of Lessor
George LIE Witt, and give a startling
effect.
The special $4,000 Estey organ,
built with particular regard for the
acoustic properties of the Strand,
has arrived and been installed by
expert workmen from New York
city. This organ, a S0-stop two
manual instrument, is similar to that
used in the recording studio of the
Victor Talking Machine Co., and
was selected only after careful con-
sideration of all makes. 1t was
highly recommended by Major Ed
ward Doves of the Capitol theater,
New York city. and will prove a
delight to patrons of the Strand.

Her Own Story.

New York, Feb. 81 (UP)-Mrs.
Aimee Scmple Mcpherson, complet-
ing a three-day series of sermons
here, aroused the most spontaneous
enthusiasm from her auditors in
narrating a story of her own life.
In a Sabbath appearance at a To-
cal Tabernacle, Mrs. Mcpherson
likened the first chapter of her life
TO that of Samuel. Her mother. she
said, had prayed for a little girl to
preach the gospel and her life has
been the answer to that prayer.
Next came her conversion, at ~,
by "a beautiful man, six feet, two
and with dark curly hair" That
was Robert Semple, Evangelist, who
later died in China.
Il said yes to the Lord and yes
to Robert" said Mrs. Mcpherson
ecstatically.
Barely mentioning the second
marriage which ended in divorce,
the Evangelist then took up her re-
cent tcmpcstuous life.
Likes Radios, But.
81 have always been interested IN
radio" she exclaimed, in the anten-
nae, receiving sets and ampliticrs but
have never, never been interested in
radio operators
Her audience shouted approval
and surged toward her, realizing her
disavowal of Kenneth Ormiston, "a
do operator of the Angelus Temple,
whose name was linked with hers
on a conspiracy charge.
When the uproar had subsidized
Mrs. Mcpherson compared the case
against her to the Tower of Babel
built of lies, deceit and jealousy.
God came TO look at the tower,
flicked a finger and demolished 1t,
she said.
After the night service Mrs. Nc
Pherson went to another night club
Paul Whiteman's.
The Evangelist told Whiteman
that years ago she had promised his
father, Wilburforce J. Whiteman, n
teacher of music in the public
schools OF Denver that she would
visit his son at the first opportunity.
She was not introduced at Tex
Guinans 300 club on Saturday
morning.
Mrs. Mcpherson will go to SYRIA
cuse today to preach there Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.
