to convey in his novel has not in any
way been lost in it's translation to the
screen" Which should be imprima-
tur enough.
Just how this came about is a ques-
ton hard to settle upon. Perhaps it
is entirely due to the brilliantly in
telligent work of that versatile di-
rector, Edmund Goulding, whose tech
nical artistry is so exceptional one
can hardly refrain from commenting
upon it. Or perhaps the lead, played
with remarkable characterization by
Greta Garbo--and by the way, the
finest bit of acting this Swedish star
has done for the silver screen-may
be responsible. Or the able support
of John Gilbert, who makes no at
tempt to detract from the Importance
of the lead.
Personally, though, I believe it is
because Tolstoy's stories were writ
ten in manner easily adaptable to
the cinema that "Love" is a success
full adaptation. Credit is due also to
the producers, who courageously per-
mitted a tragic ending, the suicide of
Anna Karenina, after her illicit lover,
Count Vronsky, who ran away with
her following her Punishment by her
husband, Karenin, betrays her and
secures a pardon for his part in the

came the feature of public life it is
today. These various "Blouses,
whose performances are free, are not
subventioned by the state. The trades
unions which run the working mems
clubs receive two per cent of their
wages for the entertainments they
provide, and for the evenings per-

Every performance begins with
parade, march-past of the perform

what constructive and instructive

PRESIDENT BACKS
 MISSISSIPPI PLAN
Coolidge Submits Engineers
 Report to Congress

Washington, Dec. s Pl-Placing the full support of his administra- 1 ton behind it, President Coolidge today transmitted to congress the army engineers plan for control ling Mississippi river floods.
 The proposal deals with the lower valley alone, from Cairo. H., to the Gulf, and would cost s296.4Oo. 900. to be expended in ten years. l. provides for a spillwav above New Orleans diversion 1ioodways in the Atchafalaya and Tcnsas basins in Louisiana, q riverbank fioodway from Cairo to New Madrid, Mo, the strengthening and raising of exist ing levoes and the stabilzation of the river channel.
 Federal Share so Per Cent
 The federal government would bear so per cent of the cost of the control project, estimated at a to- tai of s1S5, 5,40o,0o0, and all of the 1,000,0 ,000 expense for stabilization anu mapping of the channel. The valley states would assume 20 per cent of the flood control cost. Tho national government now pays only 66 2-3 per cent Of flood control costs.
 The recommended plan "funda- mentally differs from the present project in that it limits the amount of Hood water carried in the main river to it's safe capacity" the re- port said, and sends the surplus water through lateral hoodways."
 The scheme of levees of sufficient height to contain the maximum pos slble floods which was the past method, 1t added, was discussed and found inadvisable.

j. S. To BLOCK
LAND GOUGE

Any fresh attempts on the part
of an alleged local real estate ring"
to gouge the Federal Government in
connection with the purchase of
public building sites in the Mall area
south of Pennsylvania Avenue will
be met by the Government with
legal repriSals, it was indicated to-
day.
1t is understood that agents of the
Department of Justice are checking
closely on. the actions Of group of
about a half dozen operators who
'cornered the market" in the Mall
triangle during the winter. The
Bureau of Efficiency also is to make
q study Of conditions there.
Because of the failure of the
Smoot- Underhill bill. carrying a $685..
100000 authorization for purchase
of the Mall area and the second de.
ficiency bill several of the manipu.
lators have lost heavily, preliminary
investigation il said to reveal.
! Three.month options were taken
on many parcels Of lad in the
area. with the expectation that the
Government purchases would be
made before the options expired. AS
a result of the Senate fiIibuster,
however. these operators have been
left holding the bag"
Some of these facts have been
revealed to agents for James A.
Wetmore, supervising architect OF
the Treasury who is conducting the
negotiations for purchase of the
sites.
It is the belief of investigators
that the manipulators have been
taught a salutary lesson. but every
precaution will be taken to prevent
future operations OF the kind.
