DENNY THE BEST OF BEST, CHEERFUL FRAUDS

There is nothing more entertaining than weM-performed farce comedy.
 And there is no better example of farce comedy we'll done than "The Cheerful Fraud, the Universally production starring Reginald Denny, which opens here tonight.
 Any farce must necessarily start with the star becoming involved in an embarrassing or difficult situation, and getting in deeper than ever when he tries to straighten 1t out.
 And if you think anyone has ever had troubles, just go and see what happened to MT. Denny in "The Cheer full Fraud"
 The whole production, plentifuIly sprinkled with novel situations and superb "gags" is tribute to the di- rectional skill of William A. Setter, who gets credit for making the pro- duction. There are no big mob scenes, lapses of time or spectacular settings for comedy. Instead, there are only six persons spending a weekend at an English country home and from this modest situation, the director has wrung a wealth of comedy to move one into almost dangerous stages of laughter.

By FRANK l. WELLER
Associated Press Farm Editor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-P1-For
many practical advantages to agri-
culture, the bureau of biological
survey is classifying the distinct
belts of plant and animal life on the
North American continent. as affect
ed by latitude and altitude.
The old geographical divisions OF
torrid, temperate. and frigid zones,
authorities say. no longer are spe-
cific enough. There are seven nat
ural life zones spanning the CONT
nent in varying and fantastic shapes.
An understanding Of these one Is
expected TO result in a knowledge OF
the average climatic conditions of
any part of the country and the
adaptation OF certain crops and live
stock, or other industry, TO natural
influences.
In agricultural regions il is often
important To know what fruits or
cereals or vegetables viii give their
best returns in a certain valley or
section OF the country where long
tests have not been made. With a
working knowledge of the zone in
which he lives, the farmer can drop
the struggle against mediocre pro-
duction and turn his efforts TO spe-
cies which. adapted, will have an adj
vantage from the tart.
The fact hat the life zones are
not uniform belts across the CONT
nent is readily explained by the ef-
fects on climate Of varying attitudes,
slope exposure, or the varying angie
Of the earth's surface toward or
away from the warming rays of the
sun, varying degrees of humidity,
prevailing winds, character Of soil or
soil cover, and nan other factors
which tend TO raise or lower the av-
gage temperature of the ground
level. Change of altitude. or base
level. is the strongest modifying fac
tor and often carries a zone a thou
sand miles or more out Of it's normal
line. For that reason an arctic life
zone may be found far from the po-
lar regions. frequently on the sum-
mits of high mountains even in the
tropics.
Borders Of the various life zones
cannot be set as clearcut boundaries.
They are only lines of average con-
ditions. All species overlap or inter-
mingle along the borders, so that
only the predominance Of one set Of
species over another decides the 20
nal position Of any point along the
border. II is necessary to depend
entirely upon the types of plant and
animal life TO define zone borders.
The primary life zones are from
south q north. starting with the
tropical or frostless zone in which
there is excessively humid to ex-
tremely arid climates, a great varie-
~ Of mammals, birds, reptiles and
insects as well as tropical crops and
fruits that will not thrive in colder
climates.
A broad belt acros the southern
United States and Mexico. north Of
the tropical zone, is known as the
lower austral zone. defined by cotton.
sugar cane, and citrus fruits. I'm
