Wednesday and Thursday-It was
not until after Director King Vidor
had filmed more than million people
in the congested manufacturing and
commercial centers of the eastern
states that he believed he had caught
the proper spirit of ''The Crowd" his
new twelve-reeI special. Most Of these
people We're filmed at time they were
utterly unconscious of the fact they
were appearing in a motion picture
With masked batteries of cameras,
Vidor caught the immense theatre
crowds Of New York's Broadway. He
filmed the noon day crowds Of Fifth
Avenue and Broadway, the exclusive
shopping districts of New York, the
great financial district, the docks and
waterfronts He got the exits of the
towering skyscrapers as they dis
charged their tens of thousands of en-
ployees for the night and from barges
in the harbor "shot" the magnificent
skyline Of the busiest city in the
world. Coney Island furnished its
great crowds Of merrymakers and Nj
agara Falls was used as a location
where he filmed the honeymoon Sc
quence, much of it against the scenic
backgrounds of the falls that have
been visited by countless honeymoon
ers for more than a century.

BAND AT COAST ARTILLERY
DeIaware's Only Regiment Must Here
after Have Musicians of Ability

The band of the 198th Coast Artil-
lery, Delaware's only regiment, is in
process of reconstruction. 1t has been
found after a long trial that the prac.
tice Of using men in our bands who
play only as a side line is not success
full. Therefore it has been decided to
enlist only men Of recognized musical
ability. The man Of musical ability
and proficiency has, as a rule, reached
the age where he has taken other re-
sponsibilities upon himself rendering
him unable to serve his state and
country for the low rate Of pay auth
orized. To overcome this situation a
committee composed Of the writer and
Major H. B. VanSciver determined to
enlist a band worthy Of the state and
to seek the funds to pay each man the
difference between the government al
lowance and a fiat rate of $500 a day
The total amount necessary to pay the
entire band for - days annual field
training and few days recruiting
duty will be approximately S25OO.00

LOWER RATES TO
SAN FRANCISCO
ON PERISHABL.IE:'Ss

A plan seeking to obtain a low
er rate in express shipments of
perishables from the valley to San
Francisco is being put in motion
here and it s expected that the
cooperation of various San Fran
cisco organizations will be sought
to bring about the needed reduc-
tion.
Frank Tarantino, member of the
the Tarantino Produce company
who has been a buyer in the val
ley for some tine with business or
fices in the bay city is instigating
the movement.
Tarantino has already taken the
matter up with the officials of the
local chamber of commerce and it
is expected that it will be brought
before the meeting of the associat-
ed chambers in CaleXico late this
month.
1t is pointed out that while a co.
operative drive last year brought
about a reduction between valley
points and Los Angeles, the rate TO
San Francisco was not effected.
This despite the fact that San Fran
cisco shipments are carried by way
of Los Angeles.
1t was pointed out by the north
ern buyer that the present express
rates makes it Dra G ii c n | V
impossible for San Francisco to OBJ
tain its perishables from the val
ley but that should q lower rate
be made effective a good market
in San Francisco would be establish
ed.
Because of this fact it is believ-
ed that the railroad, the valley
shippers and the San Francisco mer-
chants would profit by a cut in
the rate. The shippers would OBJ
tain better price at the bay city
market, the express companies
would profit because of greater
amount of shipments and the mer-
chants would be able to give their
patrons valley products at better
prices.
Tarantino is leaving the valley
for San Francisco next week and
with the San Francisco chamber
while there he viii take the matter
up with the San Francisco chamber
and other civic organizations seek
ing support of the movement.

Walsh is Catholic. Many McA-

Smith opposition could not be laid
to religious prejudice.

posing the Teapot Dome oil scandals

remained out of the bitter Me Adoo-
Smith fight at that time, although
it was known he favored MeAdoo.
An effort was made at that con

He is still prosecuting the Teapot
