Monday and Tuesday-The Marx
Brothers, for years Broadway's
highspots of humorous entertain
ment, at last delight the world on
the screen. When THE Cocoanuts"
showed on Broadway, it sold out
for every performance during its
year run. Before THE Cocoanuts'
the brothers electrified the me-
tropolis in rs Eat So?" and, dur
ing the past season, Animal
Crackers" was one of the biggest
hits on Broadway. People paid
$3.50 to see the Marx Brothers in
"The Cocoanuts" during its New

screen at popular prices, more
beautiful than ever with Mary
Eaton and Oscar Shaw, two of the
most famous stars on the Ameri-
can stage, in the romantic leads.
Everybody knows Mary Eaton, the
Ziegfeld Follies' star, the lead in
kid Boots" and THE Five O'clock

standing stars of the American
stage. Oscar Shaw, widely known
both for his motion picture and

Tuesday-Ramon Novarro, as a
naval aviator, staging series of
thrilling rides in the clouds, is the
hero of ''The Flying Fleet, Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer's vivid drama of
naval aviation. The new production
made in cooperation with naval
flyers, is a graphic "inside view'of
life with Uncle Sans naval flyers,
staged on a spectacular scale.
Most of the picture was filmed in
the air, with sensational airplane
review, the Suicide Squadron" in
what is probably the most thrilling
series of stunts" ever filmed.
Landings and takeoffs from the
great airplane carriers and a SEN
sational rescue at sea, with an air
plane burned for a beacon, are
other of the amazing details.
Through the thrills runs a human
interest story of the friendships of
a group of Annapolis students, and
a love story in which jealousy sew
ers friendship until time comes for
a supreme sacrifice.

INCREASE IN TURKEY CROP
Warn Against Shipments to Firms
or Individuals Not Known

A recent report issued by the
u. S. Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics shows the 1929 turkey crop
10 be about per cent larger than
that Of 1928. Most Of the leading
States have increased production
this year, but the larger increases
are in the Eastern and Southeast
ern States where the crop has been
small for the past few years. 1t
is estimated that SO per cent of
the crop VIII be ready for the
Thanksgiving market, 38 per cent
for the Christmas market, and
about 10 per cent for later mar
keting. According to this report,
the production for the Eastern
States is fully up to normal, though
slightly less in some districts. The
turkey crop in Texas viii be slight
ly larger than last year, Okla
homa about normal, and other
Southern States fairly well up to
last years quantity. The crop for
the Ohio Valley States is reported
somewhat smaller than last year
in some States, but normal in 9TH
ers and it is stated that the total
output for that section may be
slightly less than last year. Some
reduction in the turkey crop is re-
ported this year in Illinois, Mis-
souri,, and Kansas while the Da-
kotas and Minnesota are reported
to have normal crop with possi-
bly, some increase. From present
indications, the turkey crop in Del
aware this year will be somewhat
larger than last year. The dry
season was particularly favorable
for raising turkeys and most of
the growers report that they were

citing of the turkey crop, the Bu-
reau of Markets of the State Board
of Agriculture, again warns the
growers and shippers of Delaware
against shipping or consigning
their turkeys to firms or individ-
uals whom they do not know. A
favorite method for inducing ship
ments is the sending out of quo
tations high above the market.
Delaware shippers should beware
of such quotations and should not
make shipments until they have
learned something of the financial
and moral rating of the person or
firm who sends out these high quo
tations. 1t is, of course, we'll
known that the large majority Of
buyers or receivers are honest and
responsible; however; no shipper
should send his products to a pers-
on or firm whom he does not know
to be reliable and should insist on
cash rather than checks in pay
ment for turkeys bought by un-
known truckers or dealers who call
at the farm to buy. The Bureau
of Markets of the State Board of
Agriculture, will, upon request, be
very glad to supply information
regarding buyers or receivers in
the terminal markets.

The introduction of new habits

a firm foothold, and the growing of
this crop is bringing good financial

is showing improvement due to
these new crops.

ADVANCE BROADER
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Mining, Investment Trust
and Industrial Shares in
Demand Today.
BY HARRY II. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August Speculation
for the rise broadened out on the Curb
Exhange today. Volume was in excess
of the capacity of the ticker and the
tape fell far behind business on the
floor. 1t was not the Utilities which
were in the limelight today, but mining,
investment trust and various industrial
stocks.
The utility favorites included Electric
Investors. Commonwealth Edison, As
Sociated Gas g. Electric and Northern.
States Power. Electric Investors were
undiSturbed by the fact that no action
was taken toward the rumored f1ve-for-
one split-up by the board at Wednes-
days meeting The stock scared IL
points and more to record high. Com
monwealth Edison likewise made a rec
ord high, up over % points just under
$50.
Middle West Utilities met realizing,
which was not surprising in view of its
recent spectacular rise. insult Utility
Investment worked ahead, however, into
new high ground.
The leader in the mining group was
Newmont, which was responding to the
better demand for the copper shares
on the big board. An unofficial eSti-
mate made the other day was that
Newmont would show net for the first
half of 1929 equivalent to oyer $50 a
share. with one exception the largest
in the history of the corporation
Noranda Mines was another strong
stock in this group.

The floating supply is strictly limited
and the stock reflects Immediately any
increase in demand. Interests close to
the company predicted great things from
certain new patented devices employed

Aluminium Co. of America was another

for smaller gain.
Cleaner Combined Harvester was in
demand on the improvement in the

over 81 points yesterday and added to
the gain today. Other new highs of the
session included National Investors, with
a rise of IA or Is points. and Dayton
Aircraft which made a small gain.

large amounts Of unrefined gasoline on
the fuel oil market. At present crude
is merely being SKINNED of the cream
of the gasoline, the residue being burned
as fuel.
In view of this there seems no imme-
date cause for a rise in gasoline prices
on the West Coast, but crude may pos
sibly advance, according to the oil ex-
perts, as a result of the curtailment,
and indications are for steady fuel oil
prices for some time. The petroleum
men do not overlook the fact that there
is about 100000 barrels a day of shut
in production in California. Reduction
of storage stocks might make room for
some Of this possible output, but 1t has
been held for two years and 1t Is not
likely it would be released at a time
when 1t could counteract any improve
ment in the industry
While California ref1pers have been
just Swimming the cream of gasoline
from their crude, the Standard Oil Co.
of Louisiana is preparing to spend So
100000 in additions to its Baton Rouge
refinery TO enable it to use the German
process controlled by Standard Oil of
New Jersey, whereby approximately 100
per cent gasoline is obtained from crude
oil.
Consumption Is Growing.
In taking all the elements Of the oil
situation into consideration, 1t becomes
apparent that gasoline consumption has
increased and is increasing at a higher
rate than production. With over 25,-
100000 automobiles in use and with air
plane production increasing. the con-
sumption of gasoline probably will rise
to new heights in the next month.
There must be a reserve in storage as
a measure of safety. and the present
storage stocks seem likely slowly to be
diminished to the proper economic
point The stocks are estimated now to
approximate six months supply.
The pumping of gas in California
back into wells eventually will increase
the oil production from such outlets.
At present the Oil companies recover
only about 20 per cent of the petroleum
actually in the pools. But this factor
will not come into consideration until
long after present stocks are dealt with.

BY ]. c. ROYLE.
dispatch to The Star.

srecial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 1.-Oil men de-
clared today that the outcome of the
petroleum situation today rests with
California. Midcontinental oil men
predicted there will be a drop in pro-
duction in that territory unless some
extraordinary wells were brought in.
This is especially true of the situation
in Oklahoma.
There is also a tendency toward re-
duction in the Louisiana Arkansas
Eastern production is not likely to
remain at normal figure for any
length of time.
In the various oil territories, except in
California, crude production is not
greatly outstripping consumption. In
California daily flow is approximately
$4,000 to $4,000 barrels day. Only
ply all demand which California has
filled in the past 1t is noted, however,
that the outlook for reduction in Cali
fornia is not a gloomy one.
May Cut Production.
A new California law will go into eff
feet September / which may reduce
production at once by some 200, 900 bar
rels a day. This law declares that
wastage of natural gas is contrary to
public interest and is prohibited. Oil
producers have been notified that If any
gas q. is blown" after September l the
State will take steps to prevent it. II
the wastage of gas is prevented it will
materially reduce activity in production
of oil. since production Of Oil entails
wastage of gas.
The attitude of the California oil in
dustry as a whole is favorable to the
law. The large corporations and many
Of the smaller ones helped put it
through and intend to comply with it
and consider it good for them. Most
of the large companies have their engi-
neers on the committee which is out
lining ways to conserve gas now being
wasted.
Will End Storage Waste.
The law does not regulate oil pro-
cuction directly, but if indirectly it cuts
the production by 100000 barrels a day
the tendency toward putting oil in stor-
age will be stopped. Overproduction
besides causing expensive and wasteful
storage. has forced crude oil containing
