The fourth annual report of the

declares that the figures have brought
the organization to the conclusion that
"the Volstead act has failed utterly to
do what it was intended to do, namely,
promote temperance and sobriety."

ennesS beginning in 1914, when the fig
ure stood at 530,367, to 235,612 in 1920,
the year national prohibition went into
effect. An exception in the decline is
noted in 1915 with 5S9,364 arrests,
which is explained in the league report
as the result of the pre-war prosperity
boom.
Beginning with 1921 the table shows
rapid annual increases in the number
Of arrests from 319,528 to 557,369. The
report declares that q marked increase
in drinking by minors has been noted
throughout the period.
The increase in arrests for intOxica-
has been at a slower rate than in other
Birmingham, Ala, and Atlanta, Ca,
both show increases of 500 per cent for
the period.
Bigger Gain i'm Dry States.
The figures, the report goes on, in

we're dry before national prohibition
than in the So-called wet States. Police
reports from 268 cities, where liquor
was sold legally prior to 1920, gave 424,-
295 arrests in 1914, as against 423, ,042
in 1927.
In 100 cities in States that had dry

PALACE.
standard.

"rhe Adora ble Cheat" the latest the feature film attraction at the Palace Sunday and Monday, has much 10 recommend it to the favor of the film ian. It is announced as q story Of delightful deception wherein the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer goes to work in her fathers factory under an assumed name. She meets and falls in love with her boss who happens to be in charge of the shipping depart ment. The deception is carried further by the girl having friend of hers assume her place and then is shown the unusual situation of q wealthy hriress attending d party in her own home with another girl posing in her place. Matters arc further complicated by the shipping clerk catching the girls brother stealing from his fathers safe. An then enters the plot and causes moro cntanglements.
 The denouement is quite drama tic and what was originally con ceiNel as an innocent deception al most turns into tragedy. Of course things are cleared up in the final scenes but the spectator is never sure how things are going to turn out.

 Probably the greatest surprise to the Herald representative who visit ed Walnut Hill park yesterday was the discovery that there are several acres of grounds, fronting on Park Terrace, usually passed by with a casual glance. which are a veritable treasure house in flowers, trees and shrubbery.
 It is in this section that Mir. El- llngwood hopes to develop a shady grove for people who flee to the parks for comfort during the hot days of summer. In this grove one suddenly and unexpectedly finds hundreds and in fact thousands of trees and bushes crowding each oth- or for room to grow. This section. known to park employees as 'the nursery" is in the rear of the tool house and some distance from an automobile driveway.

CLARA BOW ID BE
 AT THE STRAND
Popular. Star Featured in "lhe Flest's In" Beginning Sunday

.'The Fleets ln.' starring Clara Bow. will open at the strand Sunday night for four days engagement. It's a Paramount picture.
 As may be guessed from the title, the picture is "sea going one, however, the action of the story fer the most part is laid in a sea coast town which is visited by the United States battle fleet just returned from a training cruise.
 According to advance reports where the picture has had its show inga Miss Bow has one of the best parts of her career. She is cast as dance hall hostess whose duty it is to encourage the sailors on shore leave to spend as much of their months pay for dance tickets as pos sible. It is during visit of the fleet to the port that she becomes the center of d rivalry between two "gobs' from the L. $. $. California. Hall, popular Paramount leading man, and Jack Oakic. a newcomer 10 the screen. but none the less adc- quatc for the role.
 All the fire and dash of Clara Bow performance is featured in this characterization by the popular star. By virtue of the story she is given ample opportunity to display her histrionic talents to good advantage.
 How the story resolves into a srn- sational climax is ope of the high lights of the film. Over 300 eN- service men were given extra roles in the picture, creating an authentic atmosphere and realism in the movie that will long be remembered

KING OF KINGS
 AT THE CAPITOL
Revertat PhdoR,y Has En-
 dorstmeat d Thousands

Cecil B. DeMille's motion picture Life of Christ under the title of 'The King of kings"-a work of tremendous magnitude and rare beauty. which ran for many months at enhanced prices in New York, Chicago. Boston and other cities. ter on Sunday. Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Mir. De Mile begins the story with the greater Gal9lean ministry of opposition of Scribe and Pharisee and High Priest. and develops the first grand climax in the Cleansing of the Temple. Here arises the sec oni opposition; the resentfulness of Judas when Jesus refuses the tenn poral Kingdom.
 From scenes of great beauty in and around Rethany-the children in the Olive Grove and the raising of Lazarus-the action goes to the Upper Room of the Lords Supper and thence to the Garden of Gethse- mane. This wonderful sequence is preceded by the scene when Judas bargains with Caiaphas to hetray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. and it Is followed by Peters denial of his Lord.
 The scene before the sanhedrin is brief. 'Rut a second and grander climax is reached in the Trial before Pilate, the opposing factors Of good and evil being so stoutly matched and the apparent triumph of the evil go heart breaking. The "return Of, the action" is already at work in the rerorse and subsequent suicide of Judas. and in the spiritual triumph Of the Divine Sufferer on Calvary
 The third and highest dramatic climax is the crucifixion Of Jesus. In it. the art of Dc Mile has been touched with something of the same divine fire that animated the pencils of the "Old Masters" Finally the acme Of spiritual beauty is In the quiet and lovely denoument from the Magdalene's strange encounter with the gardener whom she found to be her blessed Lord. and the final message Of the manifested Saviour: Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature:'
 It will be offered at two per- formances on Sunday evening and continuously on Monday Tuesday and "Wednesday. During it's engage ment here the following prices will prevail: Matinees 35c and 25c;
