To accomplish this full size idol was made from blocks of concrete Hnd clay and fixed in the ruins yof ;the old temple of Baal in the ruins of Luzor Then when the ssEenB was ready to be shot a .sfHatke Of dynamite was inserted Tiff If the base of the idol and at the given time the fuse was set off.
 So that the extras. who were playing the parts of the Egyptian priests and attendants, would show the proper degree of sur ppise and horror. no one was warned that the set was to be de strbyed The desired effect was attained and the result was one of the most realistic scenes that has ever been filmed
 Most of the action for this great film was taken in and around the historic Valley of Kings near to the famous pyramids of Egypt, Many of the ancient ruins are used in the scenes and every care has been taken to make the pic ture as realistic as time, care and research could make it. The pic. ture, which deals with the Exodus of the Jews. was directed by Mi! chael Curtiz from the novel by Sir H. Rider Haggard, and in cludes in it's cast Maria Corda, -Arlette Marchal, Adelqui Millar and Henry Mar.

Unprecedented Rain Fol- lows Wind Storm
 People Leave Homes

CHARLOTTE. N. C., Aug. II. up from Georgia where it left threats of flood in it's wake. a tropical storm that for days has menaced the South Atlantic Coast, struck the Caro- linas with unprecedented rains causing an unestimated damage and driving hundreds of persons from their homes.
 The Piedmont section of South Carolina first appeared to be the hardest hit.
 Spartanburg reported the cot ton mill villages of Beaumont, Arkwright and Pacolet, flooded and residents are fleeing as the buildings are undermined.
 In this city, wire communiea- tion is badly crippled. The city gas supply is cut off by the plant being flooded.
 More than ' inches of rain fell.
 The Spartanburg Union, daily newspaper, reports scores of houses occupied by negroes are flooded on the lowlands. High ways are badly damaged.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Th, enthusiastic "suffragette" of 1920 with her trailing skirts and featb. er-bedecked hat, has changed as rapidly in knowedge of the coun. try's affairs and how to use the vote as she has in dress, in the opinion of Miss Beel Sherwin president of the National League of Women Voters,
 August 2G marks the eighth anniversary of American women being given the vote. Women have participated in two presi- dential elections, and Miss Sher- win believes they will take the greatest part in history in the coming campaign and election.
 That will be due, she says, to the striking personalities in the campaign and the likelihood that real issues will be vividly dis cussed."
 There will be no formal observ ances of the eighth anniversary but clubs throughout the country will note it with informal gather ings of some sort
 In 1920, leaders p'unt ouf. wo- men mostly cast a vote just be- cause of the principle of the thing. but today they are politically minded, calm and instructed. and it is asserted the body of pon-yo ing women who take no interest in things political, is not propor- tionately any greater than the same group of men voters.
 The names of many women of the later day suffrage movement still are on the list of active political workers. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, who for 15 years was president of the National American Women's Suffrage As sociation, has devoted her atten- ton in the last eight years to the National Conference on the Cause and Cure of War.
 Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, who worked with Susan B. Anthony as a young girl, now is a member of the advisory committee of the na- tional republican committee and a member of the board of the League of Women Voters.
 Mrs. James w. Morrison, first vice president of the League, was responsible for the Chicago parade of would-be women voters in 1916, that resulted, in spite of the downpour of rain. in the first suf- frage plank in the Republican na- tional platform.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11-Be- cause one of them has fallen in love and wants to marry, two 17-year-old girls, joined together since birth, are under observa- tion in a hospital here prepara- tory to an operation to separate them.
 The girls are Mary and Mar garet Gibb, the so-ealled Siamese twin daughters of MT. and Mrs. John R. Gibb. They are joined at the base of the spine.
 Dr. Francis Weston, who has charge of the case, declined to comment other than to say that the proposed operation is very hazardous.
 All previous attempts, except one, to separate such twins, are said by surgeons to have proved unsuccessful as one of the twins would die.

HOOVER STRONG FOR PROHIBITION
SMITH RETURNS TO ALBANY AND
 TO HARD WORK
Starts Whipping Accept. ance Speech Into Shape
 for Delivery

ALBANY, Aug. II. - At an hour when he would have ordi- narily have been asleep, Gov Al Smith was back in Albany from Chicago and confrcn nted with the task of whipping his acceptance speech into final form. The Democratic nominee went from the train to the Executive Man sion where he planned during the day and over the weekend to ap- ply himself to that job. The Governor is also expected, with the members of his family, to listen to the address of Republi- can nominee Hoover over the radio.
 Gov. Smith. during his trip to Chicago yesterday, on non political mission, received frag- mentary reports during chats there with various party leaders as to the outlook in the Middle West, particularly Illinois. Judge Lloyd E. Thompson, Democratic nominee for Governor was among these optimistic about the chances of carrying Illinois in the No- vember election
 The Governor has before him not only many hours work in finishing of his acceptance speech which will be delivered here a week from Wednesday, but the decision on other campaign de- velopments. Among these is the question of debate on his polit- ical career with the Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton, of the Cal vary Baptist Church who recent ly, from his pulpit, attacked Gov. Smith. The Governor is expected to adhere to his original chal- lenge of one meeting and that in the church where the Rev. Straton charged the nominee with being the greatest foe of moral progress in America.
