THEATERS

The Texas desert country, near

=" The Border Whirlwind, an f. 3.
O. production starring Bob Custer,
which is coming to the Palace the
ater tomorrow only.
There is no setting more typical
- the spirit of the west; it is re
lnleut with stretches Of sand, sage
and mesquite, and forms a colorful
background for the activities of tn"
popular Western star. The story, by
james Ormont, abounds in adven-
tire. 1t is centercd about a youth
who, on his return to his father :
ranch is Immediately thrust into the
throes of an intrigue to which he
must give unsparingly of his cour-
age and dauntless calor. That he
i particularly well fitted for his
task is asserted by the daring man
uer in which he rides, and by mis-
cleverncss in handling a whip and
throwing knives. Custer is equal to
the most stringent tests, and viii
delight his followers by his talent
in the latter two, which he displays
for the first time on the screen. The
picture was made under the dircc-
tion of John j. Mccarthy, and the
east includes Sally Long, Josef
Swickard, Wilbur Highly, Winifrel
Lands, Bobby Nelson and Philip
Sleeman. The continuity is by Enid

lawful possession of Intoxicating
Liquor by jury in Judge Mayfield s

Roche was arrested on October

the Officers finding quantity Of
alleged liquor and mash in cache

the time the officers arrived but
they brought Frank Volpc and Lee
Davenport back with them. 1t was
believed at the time that Volpc
was a part owner Of the Illicit
goods but davenport was not i'm

Warrants were issued for ehc
and two other men. Roche upon
learning that a warrant had been is.

HATS AND HOSE

Statistcians busy at their chosen task OF compiling
facts and figures, have found that Baltimore women
in these days spend almost much for hosiery for
millinery underwear In the days Of long skirts the
feminine hosiery bill only small fraction Of the
millinery bill.
The reasons for this change are obvious. The we'll
dressed today cannot be in hose that have
been darned anywhere above the foot So she has to
have more hose Also hosiery costs because it is
usually silk wool, instead Of cotton, and they
more expensive materials Further, there have to be
more pairs because stockings harmonic with diff
ferent eostumes-light hose with light colored gowns
and dark Ones slowly regaining popularity for dark
dresses.
This economic change should soon be reflected in
the nations humor. The jokes about the wife who
buys hat and nearly bankrupts her husband thereby
will have TO be revised to suit times and costumes.
Why should there be any mystery as to why Amund-
sen ran away from banquet and lecture course and
headed for the North Pole? Thousands of men will
understand instantly just how that

LIGHTS AND ACCIDENTS

Cities that grew up before the automobile traffic
always have few narrow streets and cramped cross
ings In such community, in thickly populated
neighborhood, there particularly bad street IN
tersecton where accidents happened the rate of
every other day. Families in the houses
likely to be aroused from their slumber startled
from their meals by autos crashing their front
steps or through the side of the house. Lawns
always being cut up and parked sdeswiped
so frequently that only most optimistic individual
ever parked there.
During weekend about month ago there
four accidents in two days. Then the residents de-
manded help from the city traffic department.
They got it in the form of overhead traffic light,
shade trees trimmed enough to let the light be
for 20 yards from the intersection, and cop the
curb to see that the signal light is obeyed.
So far, since that light has been in operation,
not single accident has occurred 1t has been
than week
1t is lesson in the value of we'll distributed traffic
lights.

Paul Poiret French fashion dictator, wants

Why such revolutionary doctrine in age of free
exposure? Because he declares grimly, there so
many ugly knees backs and arms. He wants women to
cover up physical defects with something pleasant to
look at, and exploit only their good points.
He rebels against uniformity. Il neither praise

heritage, the right of individuality in dress
Which is merely what less famous critics than
Monsieur Poret have been saying all along and getting
nowhere with 1t. Curious thing, when you think it
oyer-that women, who rebel violently against un-
iforms when obliged to them, should have this
mania for uniformity Because women have

1t is doubtful if there ever has
been more optimistic feeling in
the cattle situation generally than
prevails at this time. An actual
shortage of cattle is claimed by some
in the trade-others are of the opin-
ion that as a matter of fact, there
are not enough cattle in the country
to prove burdensome yet there may
be nothing about the situation to
warrant extremely high prices or
talk of anything that might be term
ed an extreme beef shortage.
During the war period when, both
for patriotic reasons and under in.
fluence of high prices, an oversup-
rlv was created, the crash which
followed as result of lower mar
ket ruined many good cattlcmcn and
sCme Gin and cutters. Since that
time and up until the past year or 81
dcflation was in progress. Until
1926, most of the liquidation of eat
tie was forced because of financial
pressure and because of lack of suf.
to me that in 1926 and early in
1927, the movement of cattle to mar.
ket had much the appearance of n
clean up of undesirable cattle. The
result, at least, is that at the pres
ent time, western ranges are pretty
v,ll cleaned up of cid, worn-out
breeding stock and aged steers. The
ranges are carrying barely enough
cattle to produce enough young
stock to move readily at the markets
and the ranges are resecding and
better feed conditions are develop
ing, aided by good rains.
Right at this time, the cattle sit
uation as far as the western produc-
or is concerned, is almost ideal.
There is ready market for every
thing that can be produced above
actual replacement needs, perhaps
not at high prices but certainly at
satisfactory and profitable prices.
Receipts Show Decrease
September receipts at the 81 pub.
lie livestock markets in the L. S.
as shown by the department of az.
riculture, are II percent fewer than
for the 5year average. Likewise,
the slaughter of cattle at those
points is 16 percent smaller than a
year ago and TO- percent smaller
that for the 5.ycar average. Stock
cr and feeder movements to tho
country show decline Of 80 per
cent from a year ago and - per.
cent decrease from the 5-ycar aver
age.
Despite these figures for the eoun.
try as whole, il is interesting to
uote that the slaughter of cattle at
Los Angeles, the principal packing
center of the Pacific coast, are az.
tually larger than "A year previous.
For the first nine months of 1927,
tie Los Angeles slaughter Of cattle
totaled 22S.955 cattle, as compared
With 222, 100 cattle during the cor.
responding period of 1926.
From these contrasting figures,
the principal lesson which might be-
gathered is that the consumer de-
r'and on the Pacific coast is stead.
r,ittcdly smaller cattle population
IN the country as whole, the cattle
population in California fails to
show proportionate decrease, u
slight increase being noted, as n
after of fact. Thus il NAV be
gathered that supply and demand
have had a great deal TO do with
regulating the cattle population.
There has been no pressing need
