should be made at the temperature at

In orchard heating work the tempera-

In reading thermometer care

Hospital Transfers
 Now Hard to Obtain

Transfers of veterans from one United States Veterans bureau hos pital to another at the expense of the bureau are almost impossible to ob- lain now, according to Watson B. Mill Ter, chairman of the American Legion national rehabilitation committee, which maintains offices In Washing ton. D. C Chairman Miller is daily in receipt of requests from veterans or their relatives for assistance in ob- taining such transfers.
 The situation has been brought about mainly by two conditions, Chair man Miller says. First, is the policy of the bureau to permit transfers only where there are sound medical req sons, and, second, is the extreme short. age of vacant beds in nearly all bu. reau hospitals.
 About the only transfers allowed are those which are effected at the expense of the veteran. Several hos. pitals have long waiting lists of vet erans desiring admission by transfer from other institutions.

 ANNOUNCES PROGRAM

Program announeemnts for the Wrangell Theatre for the week are made as follows by ". Sornberger., l, proprietor.

 Research that covered almost the entire globe was necessary in the production Of the sensational new Cosmopolitan spectacle The Temp tress, filmed from Vicente Blasco Ibanez, sensational novel of Paris and South America. which will be shown at the Wrangell Theatre as one of the big features of the sea son.
 Laid in European cities, Buenos Aires and the wilds of South Amer iea; the range in scenic design and eostuming, types of actors and methods Of characterization proved enormous; the production was staged at the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios on a gorgeous scale, and di- reeted by Fred Niblo.
 Greta Garbo. the famous Swedish screen beauty. appears in the title role as Elena" the Parisian eharmer, whose charms wreck the lives of all men who come under her uneanny spell, and Antonio Mo reno plays "Robledo,a the South American engineer, who survives her enchantments.
 Cast Is Notable
 The east is a notable one, includ- ing Lionel Barrymore, the famous S age and screen player, who has contributed many well known char acterizatfons to the screen; Roy Darcy. the famous crown prince" of "The Merry Widow Kathleen Key, the "Tirzahn of "Ben-Hur" Alys Murrell, Armand Kaliz, Inez Gomez, Antonio D'Algy and other players of note.
 A sensational duel with bul whips, after the manner of the plainsmen of South America, is staged by Antonio Moreno and Roy Darcy, who, stripped to the waist. slash at each other in the most ter rible form of duel known; the wreck of a huge dam in the Andes is another sensational spectacle in the big production.
 Glittering reyels in the cafes of Paris and in the gay resorts of Buenos Aires furnish kaleidoseopic spectacle to contrast with the grim battles in the tropic wilderness.

 fN VETERANS AID

Arrangements to avoid duplication of work among the many agencies In Washington, D. C.. engaged In vet erans. relief activities, has heen an. nouneed by Watson B. Miller chair man of the national rehabilitation committee of the American Legion. who Is director Of q new central index in the offices Of the committee for the keeping of records of the case of ey- cry veteran who goes to Washington 10 take up a claim with the govern. ment
 Al d conference of representatives of the American Legion, the American He'd Cross, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans of the World war, and other welfare agen- cies operating Tn Washington, It was decided that there were too many agencies working upon the same eases Ut the same time. The plan of the central recording office was approved Us the only way in which to eliminate his duplication of effort.
 UnGer the plan approved by the va ri0us organizations, a record card on each case contacted Is sent 10 the cen. tral office for filing, with the action taken by the organization noted there on, and in contracting new cases. a eheckup with the central index will be made before any action Is taken.
 h this way. If the case has been previously handled by another agency, or is still In the hands of that agency, the central index will indicate this, and the information will prevent the second agency from stepping in on the case until the first agency is fin ished with it.
 In the past, the several organlza- lions have been proceeding without any definite system of coordination, and this has resulted In as many as six different agencies trying to obtain the adjudication by the United States Veterans bureau of the same case.
 Instead of assisting in an early set. dement, for the veteran, the condition of things resulted in additional delays. Under the new plan for co-ordinating the work, none of the agencies in- yolyed will touch q case that another is working upon until it has been closed one way or another.
