New Kinds of Grain
 Must Be Developed

BERLIN. Mar. 12-To make Ger many agriculturally self-support- ing, the creation Of new kinds of grain and other plants was advo- cated by Prof. E. Baur at the gen eral meeting of the German League for Technics and Science.
 Professor Baur considered the creation of such plants very pos sible through systematic crossings between the existing indigenous products, an increase of which to the extent of only 15 per cent. he believes, would suffice to change Germany from a grain importing to a grain exporting country.
 Such new grain species, he said, would allow of more profuse wa tering by means of artificial rain with the prospect of thereby ex- tracting much greater amount of nutritive values from the soil.

Peruvian Primitives
 Are Paris Art Vogue

PARIS. Mar. 12-Peruvian prim- itives have arrived on the ever changing Parisian art scene.
 Slightly bored with African primitives, which have been the rage for several years, advanced art circles find South Americas offerings a refreshing relief.
 Even works by civilized artists, inspired by primitives' forms, are much in vogue. An exhibition of drawings by Juan Devescovi. Peru vian, who has already shown his work in Buenos Aires, Santiago and his native land, has had marked success.
 Devescovi's work consists of faces in the grip of varying emo- tions. A laugh is shown as an oval with two small black spots for eyes and a gaping chasmic blotch as a mouth. Anger is a deathbed mask with slits for the eyes.
 These drawings are said to ex- press the spirit of the .Incas be- fore the Europeans arrived in South America. Paris has judged them very. very primitive.

ls "TEE LUCKY DEVIL"
 NOW AT COLISEUM

Take a good looking young fer low with a beautiful speed car and no money to run it with. Then add beautiful girl and her moth CT in a Ford that refuses to run. Sprinkle gingerly with speed, thrills and laughs, and you have a fair idea of Richard Dix's new Paramount picture, "The Lucky Devil" which opened at the Coli scum Theatre yesterday.
 Esther Ralston plays opposite the star in this original screen story by Byron Morgan, directed by Frank Futile, who made "Too Many Kisses" and Miss Blue beard"
 It is the tale of young fellow who spent the earlier part of his life dreaming of what he would do if he ever got good car, and then when luck came his way what he did. All the scrapes he got into, the money he was fleec ed out of, how he was arrested once and almost a second time how he fell in love with beauti full girl and followed her for miles and miles. how he entered his car in a big auto race and won it, the money and the girl will oiyp uOn mora fbri1lc fO tho min, ute than you've ever experienced before in your life.
 In "The Lucky Devil" Dix drives his own car every foot of the way in the road race, the like o. which has never been seen before in pictures.
 Others in the cast are Gun boat" Smith, Anthony Jowitt, Ton Findlay, Edna May Oliver, Jo. Burke and Mary Foy.

THE BETTER OLE"
 COMING, COLISEUM

Syd Chaplin comes to the Coll scum tomorrow in "The Better Ole The following are several reviews given of this feature:
 "The Better Ole" no doubt coll stitutes the funniest, most uproar- ious stuff that has been brought out of the trenches and war yil- lages of France. A delicious blast of low down fooling. When you get film that sets audiences bawling with glee you have in deed something of a film.-Quinn Martin in. The New York World.
 Gave the audience more stom- ach-aching laughs than in many moons of pictures. The film is funny, uproariously, almost hys' terically so.-Roscoe MacGowau in The New York News.
 Chaplin's character drawing is one of the finest things ever given to the screen. Great. Syd, great: And the picture? It will bring a chuckle whenever recalled. "Thn Better Ole" is a comedy classic.

Attractions At Theatres
THE BIG PARADE"
 NOW AT PALACE

"The Big Parade" is splendid. It moves with the power ana
 sweep of tide and has a grip like the undertow. It is one of those rare achievements in pie ture making that is all good and grows progressively better with each reel. "The Big Parade" IS infinitely more than a war play. It deals with humanity in war. the bitter and the sweet, the fineness and the hellishness, the friendliness and the hate. It is utterly free from sentimentalism and hokum, but full of sentiment. It is so different from other war plays that there is no comparison.
 The picture is simply packed full of humor, of pathos, of wit, of comedy and of drama that is profoundly moving. Renee Adoree. left crouched in the road after Jim had gone off in motor truck, simply typifies the best of the race of women. A scene in the shell hole where tobacco chewing Slim spits at a target and so wins the chance to save his two pals from almost certain death is without heroics. The long train of trucks carrying men always more men-to the front matched by the train of ambu- lances returning after the pa
 rade" is profoundly moving.
 John Gilbert and in fact all in the cast are excellent. Audiences that crowded the Palace yester- day all voted it great picture and many. will see it again tonight or tomorrow. The music was splendid, the orchestra playing

sampling the smoked herring. And hardly anyone thinks of breaking ground for new building with out asking Mary Piekford to turn the first .spadeful of earth. Neigh borhood theatres think it only fair to expect that members of the cast of feature picture should be willing to make personal ap- pearances at least once during the run of the picture, and no rail- road puts a new crack passenger train on the tracks without q movie actress to break a bottle of sparkling cider on the loco motive.
 When stars beg to be excused, youthful contract players usually are acceptable, and since the stu dios like to keep everyone happy the newly-signea beauty from Ok lahoma is often far busier filling "tie-up" engagements in and near Hollywood than she is acting in pictures.
 It still is difficult for many ad- vertisers to realize. but the fact remains that picture players who once eagerly sought publicity have it forced on them now in annoy ing plentitude. So far, no star has adopted the practice of kings and restricted commercial tie. ups" to such formal acknowledge ments as "Perfumer by Appoint ment to Gloria Swanson" "Haber- dasher by Appointment to Doug las Fairbanks "Tobacconist by Appointment to John Barrymore, , and the like.

Rabbits Save Wolves
 By Stepping in Traps

SAN ANGELO, Tex, March p Rabbits of the range unwit- tingly save the lives of wolves and bobcats by sacrificing their own. They get into the traps set for the predatory animals.
 The rabbits are numerous, and upset the hopes of trappers too frequently on that account. Some step into the steel traps as they hop about in search of green grass, and others put their noses into danger because they are at tracted by the scented bait.

 In each case the husband had paid the police depart ment $10 fine and the trio peculiarly hit upon the iden- tical scheme of deducting an extra $10 out of the pay en- velope for themselves by rep resenting to their wives that the fine had been S20.

 a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with Hthia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate clogged Kidneys; also. to neutral izs the acids in the system so they are no longer source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness.

SCREEN STARS KICKING
 IN HARNESS; IN TTE-UPS

Charlie Murray likes trick shay ing cream and Billie Dove be- lieves in the health-giving quali- ties of orange juice.
 Some of these nationwide tie ups are as welcome to the star as to the manufacturer, but the stars are becoming more and more particular, and even featur- ed players not yet securely estab- lished as stars do not hesitate to say "No." The makers of wide iy advertised corn-plaster got a quick refusal from Pola Negri when they suggested giving her some free space on their bill boards. And Louise Brooks. who brides herself on her perfect feet, coldly passed up an opportunity to share the popularity of a well known brand of arch-supporter shoes.
 ,s Even the makers of toile, soap which probably will be re- commended by several duchesses before the advertising campaign is over received a frigid rebuff recently from several stars who resented anyone taking it for granted they would recommend anything that could bring them additional publicity.
 What drives the stars and their representative frantic, however, is the vast flood of "tie-up" re- quests from merchants, manufac. turers, clubs, theatres and relig- ious organizations in or near the studio. area.
