 TARTAN AND GOLDEN llON,' COLISEUM SOON

Excitement and thrills are given a new meaning in "Tarzan and the Golden Lion." an FBO Gold Bond Special. which is coming to the Coliseum Thursday. A hunt for a hidden city, scaling precipitous cliffs, an escape through some un- known caves. skirmishes with sav- age tribes and an encounter with a lion are a few of the highligfits of a picture that may well be called the acme of entertainment. Suspense and romance are also runners up, and claim a large amount of the audiences atten- tion. Inasmuch as the story is laid in Africa and deals with un- usual characterizations as the unique Tarzan. various native tribes and a purely imaginary peo- pie living in the hidden city, there is wealth of novel material which has been handled in a highly in- telligent manner by the director, J. P. McGowan.

GIVES LECTURE ] ON CHRISTIAN
 SCIENCE HERE
Hon. William E. Brown Appears Here at Pal
 ace Theatre

Hon. William k. Brown, c. s. B. of Los Angeles, Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Moth- CT Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist. in Boston, at the Palace Theatre last night, under the auspices of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Juneau, gave q lecture on Christian Science; The Truth about God. Man and the Universe" The lecturer was in- troduced by Mrs. J. c. Mcbride. The lecturer said in part:
 Something over nineteen cen- tnries ago a Roman governor pro pounded to the Master of men the most important question of all time. namely: What is truth ?" The Bible does not record Jesus answer to this question and for centuries mortals have been seek ing a satisfactory solution of Pi- late's query
 Tn talking with his disciples Jesus declared concerning God and the real man, "Ye shall know the truth, aud the truth shall make you free" Every afflicted mortal is still asking with Pilate, What is truth?' and Christian Science brings you the answer tonight. GOD THE ONLY CAUSE
 Tn endeayoring to comprehend the truth of being it will be neces- sary to consider first the source and origin of all trutL-a source that is commoIiy referred to by Christendom as God creator or First Cause. In the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures," Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder Of Christian Science, defines God as infinite Mind, an prevailing intelligence in which all things live, move and have their being Since God is all. as the Scriptures iterate and reiterate it follows that Mind is all, and this fact is the basic stone in the foundation of Christian Science.
 As God, infinite Mind. is the only cause or creator, it logically follows that all God creates must be like Himself, wholly and changelessly perfect.
 SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING
 Because God is the infinite and all-inclusive Mind there resides in this Mind all perfection, wis dom, beauty, culture. prosperity, harmony abundance and joy Since this is true the quickest way to come identified with this Mind Solomon said in speaking of the blessings which come to one who thus identifies himself: Happy is the man that findest wisdom, and the man that getteth under standing. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchant disc of silver, and the gain there or than line gold. She IS more precious than rubies and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasant. ness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that law hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her." and David said, 'I understand more' than the ancients, because l keep thy precepts."
 SALVATION
 From what has been said of God and His universe it will be. seen that what is called salvationl is really process of awakening

progress. The Democrats won every other state wide elective of flee.
 When the national candidates were nominated Republicans went to work at once under the able leadership of Representative Rob- ison, as Hoover's campaign mana ger, and Democratic leaders start ed i'll. first to determine how much eredenee should be given to the talk of dissension and second to put an end to whatever dlssen sion there was. Meeting here Aug. they selected Sen. Alben W. Barkley as chairman If the state campaign committee and named Vigo Barnes, staunch pro- hibitionist, as director of perma,S nent organization Both come from the western part of the state where prohibition feeling is strong est in Kentucky. The meeting outwardly at least showed no signs of dissension which oppo- nents of the party had hoped would develop.
 Sentiment in Kentucky has not yet erystallized. but there are eer- tain signs that may be taken, if read correctly. to forecast the re- suits in November. 'I will lift up mine eyes to the hills whence cometh my strength" former Sen ator Ernest once quoted quietly and seriously when his election was in donbt. He was right and the hills" sent him to Washing ton, for in those hills in eastern Kentucky nearly every county votes solidly Republican regardless of candidate and it is safe to give that vote to Hoover.
 The Blue Grass, that great cen tral part of the state, i5 political ly more independent and it's vote may be in doubt; depending on is- sues and candidates, but like most of the mountains il is not so strong in prohibition sentiment as is the western part. In this latter sec ton, known locally as the "Pen- nyrile" and the Purchase" lies the strength of the prohibition vote and possibly lies also whatever re- ligious feeling there is in the state against the New York Governor. It is here that Democrats always seek the majorities so necessary to overcome the Republican moun- tain vote.
 In Louisville. while there is un- doubtedly chance for Smith to pick up the wet" vote, there are two big factors to consider. The city is normally Republican. The majority of the white vote is Dem- ocfatic, there are some 25,000 negroes who can be counted on to vote almost to man for the Re- publican candidates, and then. too. 1927's bitter city and state elec- tions may have solidified the Re publican element.
 Covington and Newport, cities across the Ohio river from Gin cinnati, are regarded as much more likely fields for Smith.
