25TH ANNIVERSARY OF GREEK CHURCH
Structure on Beatty St. Erected Quarter Century Ago

Wednesday, August 31, will mark the 25th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of the Greek Orthodox church on Beatty street. The church is one of a group of churches erected in this city by members of the Russian Orthodox faith.
 The church was built under the auspices of the St. Cyril Methodes society which numbered about 50 members. The cornerstone was laid with impressive ceremonies which were witnessed by several hundreds of people.
 The congregation adhered to the church having no resident priest but visiting priests came to this city each Sunday to officiate at serv- ices and to administer to members of the congregation.
 For number of years, the en- thusiasm of the congregation was sustained at a high pitch, but as members of the society moved away from New Britain and the atten- dance at the church grew smaller, services there were finally discon- tinued.
 About seven years ago, the society of St. George of which Peter Fooras Is president took over the property and services were resumed there. The congregation has resident pastor, Rev. Emilianos Pashalakis of 162 Main street. The congregation now numbers well over 100.

 Considered wealthy. Hanna re- fuses pay for the service and al ways stands ready to act as exc cutioner or adviser. He has par ticipated in 55 executions.

She is as light as a feather on her feet. She has beautiful phy- sique. She is a very heady player.

FEW NEGRO ACTORS
 IN MOVIE COLONY
James L0e Said to Have First
 "Real Break"

Hollywood, Cal. Aug. 27. pe- Few negroes have hankerlng to act in the movies says James Smith. operator of negro film casting agency.
 There are about hundred negroes working more or less regu- larly in the pictures here, and thelr screen income is so moderate that nearly all of them do outside "orK.
 Paradoxically, negro extras sel- dom are paid as little as the lowest paid white extras. Their minimum is usually $7.50 day. as agalnst . the s5 frequently paid white play CTS, But they average fewer days of work a week and as for the more important roles. virtually all negro character parts have been played by white actors.
 The casting of James Lowe, negro, in the role of Uncle Tom III a screen version of "uncle Tom Cabin" is regarded by other actors of his race as the first real break a negro film player has had since motion pictures were invented. There have been a few independent all-negro productions (six of them in the Hollywood area since 191o), but lack of an effective nationwide releasing organization has limited such films to a small public.
 The negro players here are op- timistic over reports that Para mount is considering using negro actors in picture starring Emil Jannings, German character player, . as cannibal king: that Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer has a negro war comedy in prospect: that DeMllle will produce 'Porgy,' and that Uni versal will screen Octavus Roy Cohen's negro stories.

 Forest Hills, N. Y.. Aug. 21- (Copyright 1927, by United Press)- There is always something sad in the defeat of a champion of long standing, because the fickle gallery usually pulls for the younger star to down the veteran. They want va riety. I believe there is nothing at all personal in their partiality. They simply want a new game and a new champion.
 There Is nothing for the defeated champion to do but grin and bear it. Mrs Mallory. seven times na- tional champion, went down fighting and smiling.
 My heart went out to her, when at very crucial moment Mrs. Cha pins drive hit the top of the net. fingered as if undecided whether to climb over or fall back. It decided against Molla and I felt it was not only the crucial point in the match, but the turning point In her career as a national champion. It was a tough break for Molla, but, she smil- ed and only shook her head like the fine sport she Is.
 Mrs. Chapin richly deserved her victory. She played inspired tennis, backed by determination and fight ing spirit she never showed before. Marvellous Molla lost her title but she was good loser-and as game as ever. Not until Molla's drive sailed over the back line for the de- ciding point and match for Mrs. Chapin. did any of us count Molla

Chicago. Aug. c7 R-The Her Examiner says today that the Prince of Wales is one of four Eng lishmen who have reserved seats for the Dempsey-Tunney fight. George F. Getz, nominal promoter for Tex Rickard, said that the four Englishmen had the reservations, according to the newspaper, but would not reveal their identity. al though from other sources the pa per learned the prince would be among the spectators.
 Should the heir to the British throne attend the fight here. it would mean radical change from his itinerary as previously disclosed in dispatches from Canada. These said that he planned to leave Quebec on the return trip to England Sept. '. The championship fight here is dated for Sept 2c.

DAVE JONES INSTALLS
NEW CLEANING SYSTEM

Eight hundred gallons of fresh
cleaning fluid a day. in a system
that supplies q continuous flow.

fireproof building supplied with
steam valves. such is the new clean
ing system recently installed by
Dave Jones.
This is the only system of its
kind in Cody. 1t cannot be dupli-
Gated in Billings. and it is under
the expert control of E. L. Larson,
formerly in charge of his own plant
in Omaha.
Suppose we take a suit of

turned to its owner Mr.. Larson

where the dry dust is removed,
and then immersed in a solution
of fresh naptha and gasoline soap,
where it is left for about twenty
minutes.
There is a continuous flow of
naptha through it while it is in
this tank" he continued, "and this
flow keeps oon until the naptha
runs clean. The dirty naptha is
drained off through pipes into a
clarifying tank. The garments are
then put in a machine called an
extractor, which, working centri-
fugally. with no edges or

that every spot of any kind is re

The system just installed makes
it possible for Dave Jones no. only
to do better cleaning but more
cleaning. Last week he completely
doubled the amount of cleaning
he did during the same week last

STATE BUILT 10000
MILES OF SURFACED
ROADS LAST YEAR

More than 1860 miles of earth
roads included in the State high
way systems of the 48 States were
surfaced by the several highway
departments in 1926, according to
information compiled from State
reports by the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The total length of surfaced
roads constructed by State agencies
during the year was 1892 miles.
Of which 1864 miles was laid
over former earth roads and 5,S2S
miles represented a rebuilding of
old surfaces.
The reports show that the total
mileage of surfaced roads in the
State highway systems increased
by 1S,205 miles during the year;
but of this increase 4,541 miles
represents no actual work by the
States. but consists merely of mill
cage transferred from county to
State jurisdiction, statistical. change
resulting from resurveys, etc.
The above figures refer to in
!" AhAiCd6C VII tic
State highway systems only and do
not include %surfacing laid by the
counties or other local governments.
They do include, however, all work
done with Federal aid.
The statistical table issued by
the Federal bureau shows that the
combined State systems embrace
2S7,92S miles and that of this mil
cage 163,059 miles is surfaced and
28.456 miles is graded and drain
ed according to engineering stand
ards. The State systems are now
about &C per cent initially improv-
ed. The types OF surfaced roads
existing at the end of 1926 were
as follows:
Sand-clay and topsoil 1896 mi.
Gravel, ebert and shale 1926 mi,
W~aterbound macadam 1923 mi,
Bituminous macadam 1p,927 mi,
Sheet asphalt $50 mi, Bituminous

BULL MOOSE CHARGES
BUS ON PARK ROAD

Hunting bull moose from a trans
portation bus loaded with people is
not one of the regular thrills Of
fered tourists in Yellowstone Ma
tional park, but fourteen members
OF the Stroup touring party of
Newark, New York were afforded
this excitement recently.
The party had entered the park
by way of the eastern entrance
and shortly afternoon the bus was
nearing the long climb up Sylvan
pass. when a large bull moose
jumped out into the road and
charged their bus. He struck the
big car from the left side making
a dent in the front door of the
bus. The bus. was travelling very
slowly at the time and the driver
turned to the side of the road in
an effort to avoid the charging
beast. but to no avail. Discover
ing that he had attacked not one
human but a whole bus load, the
moose decided that he had other.
important business and fled from
the scene.
His short sally provided excite
ment enough. however. and mem
bers of the party were agreed that
this experience alone was enough
to warrant a trip from New York
to Yellowstone park.

Never has any motor car manufacturer
introduced body designs of such superb
style and smartness.
The moment you view these new Nash
models you will recognize that Nash has
done something distinctly unusual in
the way of motor car design.
The bodies are swung extremely close to
the road. The low center of gravity to-
gether with small wheels and the new
spring construction, and the character
of the body design, achieve a most beau
tiful effect of grace and swiftness.
The varied colcr finishes are of perfect
usefulness and richest artistry.
Throughout the interior are fittings and
appointments of finest quality which
contribute even more to the luxurious
note common to all these new Nash mod
els from the lowest to the highest price.

sHosHoNE FOREST NEW YEAR

The Shoshone National Forest
extends Happy New Year" to all.
While others have been stampeding
and d%edicating, 1t has been "off
with The old, and on with the new"
This roces is fraught with no
small meaning in these latter days
of coding every cent OF expenditure
to forty-five "object symbols" and
distributing time between 80 ac-
tivities,. from five ranger districts,
at an average of about $0.67995
per hour computation for the Direc-
tor of the Budget. The unpopular
expression red tape is yet some
times heard, but in Uncle Sans
big business. it has been found to
conform to its definition "a flexible
band to guide"
The Forest Service is in itself
not unlike a tree, with the Chief
Forester at Washington as the
heart of the organization, the var
ious district offices as main branch
es, the supervisors of each indi-
vidual forest reaching farther out
with the ranger force constituting
the remotest parts; the life-giving
sap being the excellent esprit de
corps of the personnel.
Perhaps it is seldom realized that
the Shoshone Forest is one-half of
Park County, and that its schools,
roads, and trails receive certain
financial benefits annually.
The total forest receipts for the
fiscal year Just ended were s17,-
663.76, over $1,000 being grazing
fees.
