SPECIAL LIGHTS CARRIED
BY RETURNING ZEPPELIN
Westinghouse Engineers Perfect
New Filament to Withstand
Vibration.

NEW YORK CP).-It is revealed now
that when the Graf Zeppelin made her
return fight to Germany she carried
a supply of specially designed Ameri-
can lamps built to meet an emergency
They were made to avert a risk of
light failure in the engine gondolas, an
unexpected problem developed by trans
atlantic air navigation.
A large portion of the engine room
lamp supply was exhausted in the flight
to the United States, when gondola
vibration broke the filamentS. The
breakage was facilitated by the neces-
sity to save weight, which imposed use
of lightweight wire equipment, and by
the complication of getting light weight
wires to carry sufficient electric current
without risking sparks.
Two American engineers, E. w. Beggs
end A. B. McKenna of the Westinghouse
Lamp Co., designed new type of lamp
ior the return flight. It had an ex-
tremely fine filament of extra toughness.
"a special force of wOrkmen was used
20 make the new lamps in time.

CANDIDATES SEEK
 ONLY PUBLICITY

PARIS, July 19. candidates who run for ffice only for the advertising seem an ex. .sensive pest to quite few Fronch news papers and they are discussing plans to curb them It is esti- mated that at least thousand men who sought election as de- puties recently had no thought of winning, but bclstered up their business at public expense.
 Candidates are expensive for the public in France because it costs almost nothing to run and portable billbcards are provided in every precinct for every office seeker. Also, certain public build ings are opened without charge for political meetings at which all candidates may speak
 The English plan of requiring candidates to make cash de- posit, refunded only to those who get reasonable vote, has been rejected as undemocratic so there is much discussion of something like the American system which requires a petition signed by a group of taxpayers.

"CRADlE SNATCHERS"
 COLISEUM TONIGHT

Cradle Snatchers," Fox Films version of the funniest farce ever presented on New York's Broad way, gave Howard Hawks endless opportunities for free exercise of his drollery. Yet, despite his own bent for comedy, and in the light of virtually perfect script, Hawks constantly availed himself of the services of a competent gag-man. or comedy expert, dur ing the filming of the Medcraft- Mitchell play.
 Andrew Bennison sat beside me throughout the action," said MT. Hawks, land between us, we worked out the chuckles as we went along. Bennison has a re- markedly keen mind and he sees big possibilities in little situa- tions. I think it is possible for a director to get so close, to his subjacts while shooting scenes, that he will unconscionsly miss a chance for a gag here and there. That's where the cooperation of a gag-man is invaluable"

Attractions At Theatres
WHOLE TOWNS TALKING" IS AT PALACE TONIGHT

A very clever song called "The Whole Towns Talking" was writ. ten by the scenario writer, Ray mond Cannon, who did the script On "The Whole Towns Talking" which opens at the Palace Theatre tonight
 The picture was directed by Ed ward Laemmle with Edward Ev- erett Horton, Virginia Lee Cor. bin, Trixie Friganza. Otis Harlan and Dolores Del Rio.
 The song has very catchy tune written by Charles Caldwell, who has contributed many popular airs to the New York Stage.
 Much of the acting during the making of the picture was done to this tune as played by Caldwell and Leo Wonder, head of a Los Angeles orchestra, who were mu- sicians on the set during produc- tion.
 The players averred that the lit of the air aided them appre- 
 ciably in putting snap and comedy into their parts.
 Horton thought the tune very pleasant and Virginia Lee Cor. bin declared that it was an ex- cellent dance tune with melody than fingered in her mind.
 Edward Laemmle, director, to whom the song was dedicated, add ed his praise to the musical eff fort.
 In the cast of this delightful comedy are also Trixie Friganza, Otis Harlan, Robert Ober, Aileen Manning. Hayden Stevenson Mar garet Quimby. Dolores Del Ria, and Malcolm Waite.

Screen critics, big and little, as well as film fans over the entire world have become one voice al
 most in proclaiming Billie Dove as the most charming and beautiful woman on the screen today. Pola Negri, Talmadge, Corrine Griffith and the rest of them have been overshadowed by the maturing beauty of the talented Billie. $
 Her beauty is described as in |effable-a patrician pulchritude and poise that stands any test of story. character or camera. The test of the camera is the hardest 'of them all, and the bane of most of the so-called screen beauties of today. Especially on what is known as closeup poses.

ANN ARBOR, Mien, July 19.- Homes built of earth have been constructed and found practical by technicians at the University of Michigan--but they cost more than frame homes.
 F. E. Menefee and X. E. Frank lin of the engineering mechanics staff of the university built the homes from earth turned up when excavation was made for the base ments. The dirt was rammed by pneumatic tampers in forms set up for sidewalks, similar to those used in pouring concrete, and the walls were found to have the strength of concrete when the dirt was compressed to half it's normal volume.
 The pair thought it would be much cheaper to erect such houses than to build them of convention al materials, but they found that the cost of putting up an earthen dwelling exceeded slightly the cost of an ordinary dwelling.
 They planned to make the lot provide for everything but roofing materials for the exterior con. struction, and to build home as sturdy and as handsome as those built of wood, brick or stone. Built along modern architectural lines, with the earth walls coated with glazed paint. the houses resemble stucco dwellings and casual ex- animation would never have re. vealed them to be glorified sod shanties."
 The first house had only the walls and gable end of an orna. mental doorway built of earth. In the second the earth walls were carried to the roof, which was erected with only the walls as sup ports.
 One of the walls built early ill the tests, has weathered two sea sons of Michigan rain and snow with the loss of little if any dust from it's forms.
