"WHITE SHADOWS"
is AN AMAZINGLY
GOOD PRODUCTION

The most beautiful scenery, the
most interesting characters, the
most thrilling adventures and the
most amazing love story ever film
ed.
Thus reviewers everywhere are
characterizing MetroGoldwyn-May-
er's white Shadows in the South
Seas" which comes to the New Plaza
Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, November 26-27-28 with
the regular matinee on Wednesday
at 2:30, and the reviewers have not
been far wrong.
If ever a picture has been filmed
that has everything locale never
photographed before, actors who
never before have been seen on the
screen, a plot that is new and almost
radical-this picture has them all.
The story is laid in the South
Seas, that amazing mystery place of
waving palm trees, soft southern
winds and eccentric scenery. 1t con-
Germs the fate of a primitive race,
the native POlynesians who, as ev-
cry schoolbOy has been taught, are
rapidly dying out and within q few
years will have vanished from the
earth.

JERSEY BREEDERS WILL
TATTOO IN FUTURE
Solid Color and Lack of Distinctive
Markings Cited As Cause

/ To establish a uniform method of
identification for Jersey cattle the
members of the American JERSEY
Cattle Club this year adopted a By
Law which requires that all animals
to be registered after January /,
1929, must be tattooed. The article
covering this reads as follows:
"Eligibility-1 No animal shall
be registered until both its sire
and dam are registered; and, to
preserve the identity of registered
animals, all animals offered for
registration must be plainly tat
tOoed in the ear in indelible ink
with such letters and numbers as
the owner may select, no two ami
mails Tin the same herd) to have
the same number. Both ears may
be used, and the marks and num-
bers in the ears must be stated on
applications for registration.
The above requirements as to
tatooing shall go into effect on
January 1, 1929"
Many dairy animals are solid
color and in many herds only the
owner can definitely identify all
such animals. With the tattoo mark
recorded in the owners records and
on the certificates of registration of
purebred animals anyone can iden-
tify every animal in the herd. In
the event of the owners death or
absence this information is of
the greatest value.
1t takes but a few moments to
tattoo an animal ana the identify
ing mark is permanently liked in
the ear. Needle points form tic
design of letters or numbers and
these points are helJ in position in
the head of the marker which is
like large rdir Of pliers. The
needle points are covered with il
delible ink or paste. The instru-
ment is then set in position and the
needles penetrate the ear on the in
side carrying the ink we'll under
the surface of the skin. Ink is i'm
rubbed into the slight
wound made by the needle points
and the job is DONE There is prac-
tlcally no bleeding, and the opera
ton is scarcely noticed by the ami
mai. 1t is recommended that the
ear to be tattooed be cleaned with |
before it is punched. This |
will remove the wax and other for
elgn matter and insure a clean sur
face on which to work.
The new ruling on tattooing has
been very favorably received bv
breeders and agricultural leaders.
The subject of tattooing will be of
interest for some time to come as
there are eleven million JERSEYS in
the United States and of this num-
Der over three hundred thousand
are registered purebreds.

Already. the results have been shown through numerous con- victions on charges of speeding and reckless driving. and whether the drive has been the means of re- ducing the number of accidents or not. it is 8 matter of record that during the past several days the collisions reported to the police have not been serious for the most part, from the standpoint of injuries and damages caused.
 In the opinion of the police and court officials. the number of motor vehicles in use on the streets of the city is not so great that they can- not be operated safely. Cases tried in court have brought out that in the majority of accidents and near accidents, speed was the principal cause. In certain sections of the city, notably Broad street, StanIe, street, and West Main street, DO. licemen have seen cars driven past intersections at high speed. probabl, because of the fact that the straight ribbon-like layout of the highwa, invited the drivers to go fast.
