HOLLYWOOD, May 5.-Mary
Il Il Pickford and her illustrious
husband. Douglas Fairbanks, have
gone to Europe, leaving behind them
trail of denials centering on the
possible retirement Of Americas
Sweetheart"
Before he left Hollywood, Doug
gave out the statement that he be-
/ lieyed his wife would make at least
two pictures before she left the
screen forever. United Artists joined
in the protest that followed printed
/ stories of Miss Pickford'S retire
nlent.
But the screen colony thinks that
the pioneer woman star will never
/ be seen on the screen again. Close
| friends Of the former "Bidgraph
Mary" state that unless she changes
/ her mind while abroad she will moi
make any more pictures.
A minority opinion holds that she
will play in one more film and in
that one her leading man will be
Douglas Fairbanks.
Doug and Mary in the same pic
ture could break boX-office records.
In line with retirements, It is
reported that William S. Hart is
/ getting restless as the proprietor of
a modern ranch and is almost ready
to come back to the kleigs.
Despite his long absence from
film work he probably is still rated
as the best two-gun man Hollywood
has produced.
Ruth Roland has postponed her
real estate dealings long enough to
make a series of serials. She has
been in retirement almost three
4 years.
Mary McLaren spent fifteen
months as the wife of a British
army officer in India, eighteen
months recuperating from illnesses
caused by the privations of life at
an isolated camp and is now ready

First she plans to divorce Col G..
H. Young, and then return to the
first love.
D. w. Griffith made THE Battle
of the Sexes" in 1913 at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000. The picture
was one of the most successful ever
in the matter of returns and it
Melted almost 100000. Lillian Gish
and Owen Moore starred.
! Griffith will make the same pic
ture for United Artists this year.
. This time he expects to spend $780,
900 to place it on the screen. Jean
Hersholt and Phyllis Haver will be
featured.

Date,

CTARTING tonight, Riverside
- amusement park will be open
every evening throughout the sum-
mer. it was announced today by the
management.
Beginning next Saturday which
is the formal opening date for Riv-
erside, the park will be open both
afternoon and evening.
Although the extremely cool
weather of the past few weeks has
prevented Riverside from keeping
open continuously, it has afforded
opportunity for the big force of car
penters and painters to practically
complete the many new features.
FINLAND, the castle-like building
in the north end Of the park, is
proving an object of intense inter-
est to carly-seasCn visitors.
Entrance is had through massive
1 prison like gates.
Hundreds of surprises greet the
patron as he threads the mysterious
and cavernOus passageways.
Halfway through his journey the
traveller in Funiand emerges into
daylight on a broad balcony high
up on the sides of the building
from whence is obtained a view Of
the Handicapped courtyard with its
/ flowers and fountains.

ILLUMINATION BY
GAS IS EXPECTED
New Lights Are Gases Enclosed
in Glass Tubes

New York. Nov. R-How gas
light-a new kind that cannot be
blown out and that no fame touch
es-is coming back as the future
light OF the home is described b.
Prof. H. H. Sheldon, chairman Of
the department OF physics OF New
York university.
These new lights are gases. en-
Chased in alright glass tubes, with
no fllaments to break and no direct
contact Of electric current.
In the laboratory stage such
lights exist already. For example
there is bulb with neon gas. which
gives a brillian red light when
high frequency electric current is
passed around the bulb without
anywhere making contact. Develop
ment Of this principle will make the
light of the future, in DR.. Sheldon's
opinion.
In some combination of gases, he
thinks, lies the solution Of repro
ductng actual or very near to actual
daylight. At present red is the only
fully powerful light produced by the
gas tube.
Before these lights may be used
in homes a way must be found to
operate them on lower voltages. for
those now required for producing the
light. without contact with the bulb,
are dangerous.
There is also at present loss Of
efficiency to be overcome, due chief
ly to the high voltages. g..

Sir Ronald Ross SiVed Many
People From Malaria

London, Nov. . R-In 4 modest
flat in southwest London lives an
aged scientist whose work helped 10
save many thousa nds of human lives

ago one Of the men who discovered
that malaria is carried by mosqui-
toes. This discovery was one Of the
starting points of General Gorgas'
work in stamping out fever which
menace the success Of construction
of the Panama Canal.
At the age of II. with the use OF
one arm gone, Sir Ronal is afflicted
with serious illness To get money
he has offered for sale his archives
covering 80 years of malaria re-
search.
They fill big chest Of steel
drawers that dominates one room OF
his tiny flat They are packed with
private papers. note books and cor
re.pondence. The price asked Is $1o,-
600.
When In good health, Sir Ronald
earns his living at the hospital for
tropical diseases. walking there from
his home every morning. wet wea-
Their and fine.
Sir Ronald would rather talk
about his life work against malaria
than Of himself and how. having
suspected the mosquito and exam
ined it under the microscope, he
found bodies in its actual tissues. In
those bodies he found pigment. and
the mosquitoes cells do not have pig
ment. Slowly he completed the life
cycls of those parasite bod'As. prov
ing them to be malaria germs.
As he talked Of his subsequent
visits to the tropics on anti malaria
crusades an interviewer asked:
Would you. if you could have
anticipated how you void be re-
warded. have lived your life In my
other way"
He answered simply. Il want to
go out again to carry on my work.
The only public reward which Sir
Ronald has received is a title. given
him by his king.

IN OLYMPIC BRIGADE
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July e.-The old
Olympic order changes rapidly. On the
track and field team that will sail

Watson, viii be cut TO a trio Ii Paddock
is disqualified.
Fifteen athletes. including the five
mentioned above, have experience In the
1924 Olyn1pics behind them, so that the
remaining 81 are making the voyage
for the first time
The cases Of Ray and Watson are
unique. Joie has gone up the scale
starting at $500 meters In 1920, going
as far as 3000-meter team racer in
1924 and this year a candidate for
l0,000-meter and marathon honors.
Watson has cut his distance down from
the 3.000-meter steeplechase In 1920
and the i,5o0-meter fiat run four years
ago to the S00-meter route this year.
Conspicuous among the missing are
the three veteran policemen and Irish
heroes-Pat Mcdonald and Matt Nc
Grath of the New York force and Jim
McEachern of San Francisco All three
found the pace of youth too swift for
them Fifty-year- McGrath made a
gallant effort to rain a place among
the hammer tl1roWers, but finished
fifth. McEachern was further down
the same list, while Mcdonald failed to
approach anything like old-time form

MCLEOD GIVEN CREDIT
FOR TAKING 1884 TITLE

Fred Mcleod modestiy admits that
he Ia something more than 40 years
of age, but he didn't realize he was
quite the doddering old gent wom-
an Mt the open championship In
Chicago made him appear to be.
Surprising how ignorant OF golf
events some Of the people who come
10 the championships are. A wom-
an spectator was standing near the
fifth green, identifying the players
as they passed to her friends. Some
one asked her who that little fellow
was who had just holed lengthy
putt.
"Oh, that's Freddie McLoid. the
open champion Of 1884" she replied.
Some people have trouble pronounc-
Ing Freddie's name. "He won the
championship before they made a
rubber golf BALL"
Fred biushed under his tan and
kept ON going.
