MissOurian DevOtes
Life to Waterways

st. Louis, Dec. 24.-(AP)-For IS
years James E. Smith, president of
the Mississippi Valley association,
has dreamed about and toiled for
the development of inland water
ways. He sees his hopes nearing
realization now, with the Mississip-
pi flood disaster as the lever maxi
ing them possible.
Once more he has taken up a sen.
tinel post in the congressional gall
leries at Washington, believing that
the seventeen congress will let
waterway development ride along
with flood control measures. From
his gallery seat at previous ses-
sions he has watched waterway leg.

materialize on the floor.
In 1911 Smith retired from his
hardware business and since then
has devoted all his time to water
way promotion. Comfortably
wealthy, he has never received q
salary and wants no return but the
satisfaction Of seeing the project
completed Out of his own pocket
ne pays his expenses as president
OF the Mississippi association, which
runs to more than $4,000 annually.
As Q hardware salesman Smith
travelled up and down the rivers Of
the Mississippi basin and q quarter
Of a century ago he was a strenuous
advocate Of waterway development,

Chrysler Beats Time
of Twentieth Century

From Buffalo to Albany, 10 min
utcs faster than the time of the New
York Central's crack train, the
Twentieth Century, is the latest feat
to be credited to q Chrysler car
equipped with the new Chryslcr
"Red-Head" high compression en-
CINE.
Driven by its owner, A. ]. Eckert,
Jr., and q mechanician who accom-
panied him, the Chrysler, a 1926
roadster with more than 5000 miles
already registered on its speedom-
cter, was checked out of Buffalo by
Western Union officials at 1852 D.
M, September IL, and into Albany
the next morning at $685., making
an average speed of 1924 miles per
hour for the 1854 miles travelled.
The time is the moro remarkable
in view of the fact that the first ten
miles was inside the limits of Buff
falo and the last four miles over AL
bany streets, while no fewer than
II cities and towns were passed
through on the run. A drizzling
rain during three hours Of the night
also tended to make fast running
difficult.
"The time was possible only be-
cause of the mechanical perfection
Of the Chrysler," said Mr.. Eckert af-
ter the run. ut could never have
been done but for the roadstcr's ca
pacity to operate at sustained high
speed, combined with its unusual ac-
celebration and braking features,

which Mr.. Ford was doing just .
little more thinking than the other
fellow-hc would give them greater
speed, and to 20 with it the protec-
ton that greater speed required SO
much. It was just . step ahead Of
the other car maker and then and
there came the decision to give speed
in low priced car and greater pro-
lection at no additional cost.
Mr.. Ford returned to the plant and
plans were established for making
''unbreakable" or 'non-shatterable"
glass standard in all of the front
windshields. It has been indicated,
too at the home plants for those
in authority that just as soon AS it
was possible to do so, the Ford
glass plants in Glassmere, Pa,
would get into production Of guam
tity Of this kind of glass which
would make it possible for not only
the front window but all the vim
dows Of the closed cars to be of this
type. Only one other car maker is
now doing this, and that a manu-
facturer Of much more expensive
car. 4

new CROP OF
BABY STARS
GROWING UP
Unknowns Of Last Spring Now
Among Candidates For
Movie Honots

Hollywood, CAL, Dec. c4.--(AP)
About the time people are begin
ming to forget their 1928 New Years
resolutions, in other words not later
than the middle of next February,
thirteen so-called "Baby Stars" Of
J the movies will be introduced to the
public at the annual Wampas ball.
Selection of the thirteen starlets
by members of the Wampas, an or
ganization of motion picture pub
licity men, has no official signifi-
eance beyond registering the en-
thusiasm of some press agents for q
bakers dozen Of the newer film
faces. Unofficially and actually,
however, the designation "Baby
Star" is generally the stamp Of ap-
proval OF some production organiza-
ton powerful enough to help the
recipient very materially in her
struggle toward genuine stardom.
The young player chosen Baby
Star is in practically all cases as.
sured of at least = few real op-
portunities to make good during the
coming year.
Stars Of Past Years
Baby Stars of past years included
such players as Colleen Moore,
Claire Windsor, Laura LaPlante,
Clara Bow, Olive Borden, Mary As
tor, Janet Gaynor, Dolores Del Rio
and Dolores Costello. Just now
there is much argument and specula-
ton as to the thirteen who will be
named the Baby Stars of 1928.
Among those who are conceded to
have the best chances 6 election are
several who were absolutely un-
known to picture Aoers . year ago.
There is, for instance, Lupe We
lez, the vivacious Mexican dancer
discovered" by Roach and put in
comedies about eight months ago,
and later discovered again by Doug
las Fairbanks. Her success opposite
Fairbanks in "The Gaucho' and her
subsequent selection by DeMille to
play opposite Rod LaRocque have
started her upward at q pace CAL
culated to make her selection by the
Wampas matter of course. An.
other is Nena Quartaro, the New
York. girl whom James Cruze picked
out of the extra ranks and is groom
ing for stardom. And still another
is Sue Carroll, who arrived in Feb
ruary and played her first lead OPP
posite Douglas MacLean about six
months ago.
Other Candidates
Other girls who arc being put
forward as candidates for the thir-
teen places include several already
pretty we'll known by the earnest
film fan. Among them are Ruth
Taylor, chosen to play the lead in
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes; Myr-
M 10y. in training for stardom at
Warner Brothers; Barbara Worth
and Dorothy CULVER. Universal's
