1t takes Indians to play the roles
Of Indians on the screen.
This is the belief of Tim Mccoy,
Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer star Of
''Spo!ier> Of the West = a new from
tier film drama to be shown at III"
Airdome Theater tonight.
No white man can successfully
initiate an Indian on the screen At
least not before people who know
Indians, says Mccoy.
For that reason the Western film
star went = Wyoming and arranged
with five hundred members OF the
Arapaho tribe. of which he has been
adopted as blood brother,' to
appear in his production which WAS
filmed in the vicinity Of the Wine
Rive: reservation.
He also succeeded in persuading
q like number Of ShoShone red men
to become actors in his thrilling film
story of the days when the Indian
fought to hold his hunting grounds
md the white man fought to gain
possession of them for agricultural
purposes.
McCoy is recognized as an author
ity on the Western plains Indians
and mas lived among them for years.
lie is said to have at least q speak
ing acquaintance with more than
five thousand Indians, many of
them aged warriors who fought
under Sitting l:ull against Custer
and with Red Cloud against Caring
ton, Fettcrman and others.
The film star has won the con.
fidcnce of the red man by always
depicting him in his true light and
giving to the screen the Indians
side Of the story OF the bloody
struggle in the West.
IN "Spolicrs of the West viii
be seen Left Hand and Water Man,
two Of the five Arapahos who
helped massacre Colonel Custer and
his white cavalry. Also there is old
Goes in the Lodge, who was scou;
for General Terry ard later led
the Young Arapahoe, on the warpath
against the white settlers and sol
dicrs.
Marjorie Daw plays the feature
feminine role Of "Spolicrs Of the
West, which was directed by W.

GREAT REVIVAL
OF RELIGION IS
NEAR IN TURKEY
By United Press Leased Wire

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. IS
\ scientific revival Of religion is
planned in the new Turkey. The re
cent separation of church and state
md the removal from the constitu.
tion Of the article establishing
Islam as the religion Of the state
WAS the first step.
1t is understood in well informed
quarters that Kcmal Pasha did not
approve of the premature publica-
ton of the Theological Commits
sion, report on the religious re
forms to be introduced in Turkey.
Che President apparently wished to
pave the way more carefully for
such wholesale revelations. But
Turkeys religious eat is out Of the
bag now, and there is no doubt that
the government will go ahead with
the suggested reforms.
The Theological Commission was
appointed 10y the Faculty Of Theol-
ogv of Stamboul University, a
faculty formed three years ago for
the scientific organization Of re
Hgion within the state. The Uni
vcrsity authorities would begin
reform with the ministers, who are
row under "A strict state control, by
giving them adequate training en-
.abling them to deal with the prob
lems of the modern world and join
in the uplift Of the people.
Religious reform is an urgent
need in Turkey. Religion fell to
= low intellectual ebb during the
last few decades The ministers
followed a traditionalism which
lost adhercnts in an age of educa-
tion and reform. The less educated
became hopelessly confused, and
the educated uninterested.
The monaStic orders sunk from
their original position as intellec-
tual centers to a pitiable condition
approaching dcbauchcry. The orders
were dissolved and the so-called
saints shrincs and other sanctu-
aries Of popular superstition closed.
Hundreds Of wandering adventures
who posed as priests and preyed on
the supcrstitiOns Of the ignorant
we're rounded up. Those author
lied to continue their profession
were given Identification papers
and formal uniform. The green
turban, Indicative Of supposed
special sanctity enjoyed by those
who have made the pilgrimage to
Mecca was done away with.
The Turks remain proud of Islam,
but desire to see it brought to the
highest intellectual level consistent
with its essentials. They desire to
be accepted as the worldwide rein
serpreters Of Moslemism and hope
that other Moslam nations will fol
lew their lead.

Suits That Last
Entire Lifetime
Promised Soon

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. lS.-A
suith of clothes durable and strong
enough to last for several genera
tionS and look its best all during
that period, and to cost no more
than the average linen suit of TODAY,
was promised the American busi.
ness man here recently by John s.
Mioton, president of the Ramie Cor
p0ratiOn of America which has its
headquarters in New Orleans.
Motion told the United Press that
some cultivation of the Ramie plant
was already underway in the Unit
ed States and machinery for sepa-
rating the fiber from the plant, in
vented hy Frenchman, was being
imported.
The cloth made from the Ramip
plant looks like a good grade of
linen and a shirt made from the
fiber will last at least 10 years. The
cloth is also used in making men 5
suits and women 5 dresses. 1t has
a Silken lustre which adds greatly
to its attractiveness, Motion said.
The Ramie plant requires very
little cultivation and resiSts alike
extreme hot and cold weather and
replanting is necessary. only ut in
tcrvals of about % wears
\ small space Of ground was
planted with Ramic as an expert
ment here about 80 years ago. Now
the growth is hardy and thriving
despite the handicap of NEGLECT and
lack of cultivation. Mioton said
Louisiana particularly and the
southern coast and southeastern
states generally are adapted to the
growth of Ramie and before many
years Motion expects to see the
plant take its place as one Of the
chief textile industries Of the coun.
try.
In addition to the use of the
plant 5 fiber for cloth-making, Mio-
ton said a good grade OF paper is
made from the waste pulp.

brock Motors Tours. which concern
operates ali over California, showing
ITS patrons the more unusual of the
western scenic wonders. 1t has as
its slogan New Trails to Old

Henry Barnbrock. its general mana
ger. is exceedingly anxious TO lay
out. with the assistance of the
chamber of commerce, circular
tour which shall embrace most of
the valley industries and show the
growing and packing Of our agricul-
tural and live stock products. FL
Centre, it is planned, will be the
starting and finishing point for the
valley tours.
In his letter to Secretary HAYS,
Of the chamber. Mr.. Barnbrock said:
''Our plan as to FL Centre and the
Imperial valley is to feature every
thing that might be representative
OF your community, and give an in
innate picture of your resources 0
;he people travelling to our towns.
We shall appreciate maps and sug-
gestions featuring scenic routes, and
places and things of interest off the

Hays has asked Manager Barn
brock to come to III Centre and
visit the interesting points and in
dustrics, promising him the assis-
tarce of the chamber in LAYING out
routes and itineraries. Such tours
have long Interested III Centre and
the commercial organizations here,
As these bodies have realized the
tremendous advertising value Of an
Imperial valley tour, conducted on
Il regular schedule. which should
show our farms, packing houses, in
dus;ries, water sources, scenic fea-
lures. etc. to the visitor. The tour
ing company's own advertising
would bring large numbers of per
sons to the valley who might other
wise never come and, when they
arrive. such trip which would give
a comprehensive idea OF this see
tion's productiveness and poSsibih-
ties. cannot fail to impress the NlsI-

Of bringing in many permanent and

Hundred Girls
Disappear Each
Week In Paris

PARIS, Aug. 1S.-"Paris, the
Port of Missing Girls " might be
a suitable title for new best
seller. According TO the Paris Perr
fccturc of Police, there are more
than 100 girls disappearing in
the French capital every week.
Some are found, some do not want
to be found.
The task of the French police is
not an easy one. 1t has now been
divided into two sections. In the
case of abduction or similar crime,
the Judiciary police is charged
with mravelling the mystery. II,
on the other hand, the case is ap-
parrently one of deliberate evasion
the ordinary police service Of the
city is responsible.
Real " disappearance - are in the
minority. Several thousand reports
are received every month of miss
ing persons. Some are located In
iails and hospitals, some are identi-
fled in che chilly cellars of the In
stitut Medico-Legal, rs the official
morgur is known. The remainder
are usually to be found victims OF
whitc-slavcrs enticcd either into
houses in the worst quarters or
Paris or already on their way to
South America and India, the two
countries which now pay the high
est prices for European woman
hood.
The French police say the situ-
alton here is no worse than in other
countries. They regret, however
that there is no active organization
for the supervision Of young girls
at railroad stations and in the subs
ways such as exists in England and
