BERKELEY CHIEF
PLACES RADIOS
ON POLICE CARS

FLINT. Mich. March 11.-Police
CLiet August Nollmer Of Berkeley,
Cal, has Just completed installation
Of radio sets in all the 8u:cks COM
prising the city 5 police department
fleet, according to word from the
Howard Automobile company, Pacl-
fic Coast distributors Of Buick cars.
The combination OF radio commune
cation and fast pursuit machines,
III Nollmer 5 opinion, is one which
viii vastly increase the odds against
crime.
Chief Vollmcr is widely known for
lis work in criminologv. He is fre-
quently called into consultation ON
police subjects in other cities, and
asked to prescribe for conditions
confronting authorities there. His
policy OF providing his own men with
tie most up-to-date equipment at
the disposal of science has attracted
much attention to him, over 4 per
iod Of several years.
Among the residents of Berkeley,
tlis policy is credited to a very
large extent with making it possi
lie for that city to maintain law
and order with the smallest police
force, per capita of population, in
the country.
Within Il few seconds after an
alarm is received AZ headquarters,
lights flash in the driver 5 com
Iartment of each ear, notifying its
crew that a message for them is on
the air. BY means Of the fiXed-tuned
short wave sets located in the rear
dock. it is then possible to receive
the message and mobilize for act
ion with a minimum of lost time.
It's airplanes we want, but Con
gress only gives us the air.

THEATERS

One of the worlds simplest, and
most appealing love stories has re-
quired one of the most elaborate
settings ever built TO transfer it to
the screen.
This is the paradox of "Thc Stu
dent Princc,' Metro-Coldwyn- May
cr's huge fiImization of the famous
old play, in which Ramon Novarro
and Norma Shearcr were directed
by Ernst Lubitsch, and which comes
tomorrow to the Valley thcatcr.
Whole towns were built; great
castles in Germany reproduced, and
the University of Heidelberg recrc-
atcl in wood and plaster for the
huge production. In one scene,
showing the welcome of the towns,
people to the Young prince. played
by Novarro. two thousands villag.
crs, guardsmen, police and other
characters appear in a gigantic set
ting depicting a public square and
covering ten acres.
The coronation ceremonies re-
quirod hundreds of soldiers iii the
brilliant uniforms of the imperial
guard. diplomats and mobiles; five
hundred gaily attired students rev.
cled in the Heidelberg garden scenes
the ma icstic Heidelberg Castle
was recrcatcd, inside and out, and
other huge construction tasks mark

Urson. She is not the vampire vari-
ETY., nor the malicious schcmer type.
Jrsons explains, but IS wholly bad
and despicable.
The first screen heroine "bad
woman" established her hateful
character surely and speedily. She
is tested for each and every good
quality of a woman and is found
wanting in all. First, she is the
faithless wife who kills her 'angel
because her vanity is offended, and
is so dstruStful that she mistakes
her husbands self-sacrificing for
trickery. She glories in the lime
light Of notoriety and resents shar-
inc the spotlight. She browbeatS a
devoted husband and she is too ig-
norant and too much of a fool to
realize that he knows of her faith
lessness.

Herring Gives
Starting Tip

4 little timely advice is offered
by the Herring Rubber company, El
Centre distributors of Hobbs Life
time Batteries, as to the proper use
Of your Starter.
1T is surprising,' - says Ben Her
r'ng, chow many people are not
aware that it is always advisable to
shove out your clutch AT the same
time You operate your starter but
ton. This is particularly true in the
morning after your car has been
standing al night and the grease in
the gear box is stiff. BY pushing out
your clutch you relieve the starter
OF quite considerable load and this
means n lighter drain ON your bat
terry Often this slight help just
means the difference between run
down battery and fully charged
one.
IF You don't believe this is
true, concluded Herring, "just
Try cranking your car some cool
morning, first with the clutch IN
then have some one hold it out
while you crank. Iou II feel the
difference. lncidcntly you Will have
more respect for your battery when
lou learn the work il has been
faithfully doing for you.

Conducts 10000 Overtures
In Motion Picture House

DANIEL BREESKIN. conductor OF
the Earle's augmented concert or
chestra, 1t is said, will have conducted
his 10,000th overture for the Stanley
Crandall TheaterS at the 7.30 perform
ance in the Earle the evening Of Febru-
airy 81.
His record, unequaled by any musical
conductor in Washington and perhaps
the East. will be the occasion OF cele-
bration to which the musical societies
aid others will be invited.
The disclosure Of Mr. Breeskin's rec
ord came about in casual discussion
back stage at the Earle. One Of the
Earle employees remarked he had been
with Harry M. Crandall, vice president
o. the Stanley Crandall Theaters, near
ly the entire IA years he has owned and
operated motion picture houses in the
Nations Capital
We'll. I haven't been with Mr.. Gran
dali since he started" remarked Mr..
Breeskin. but haven't missed but two
or three days service In nearly six
years, and I believe I have record
number OF overtures to my credit"
A pencil and paper and some calcu-
lating disclosed that playing four over
lures a day, seven days a week, since
August !. 1922, when he started at the
savoy Tneater as conductor, brought
the total close 10 1900.
A little more calculating showed that
withsthe 1880 o'clock performance Feb
ruary 81, the l0,00oth mark will be
reached.
The record was called to the attention
Of the executives Of the Stanley Crandall
organization and when the news reached
Mr.. Crandall he issued orders that spe-
cial ceremonies or celebration be held
to call attention to the record.
Musical organizations. particularly.
will be invited to join in a program to

Daniel Breeskin, it has been said by
musical educators, has done much to
educate the young and old folk OF Wash

The Waltz Returns

masters and enthusiasts for many
