South Loses Forests

THE Southern States lose about four -flfths
Of the total Of forest land which Is burned
over each year In the United States, the an
nual average for this section being about 90
600 900 acres. and the loss can be attributed
almost entirely TO man. In the West losses
are largely due to lightning. but in the South
it is human carelessness which Is almost en-
tirely to blame. The Forest Service of the
United States Department of Agriculture is
launching q drive to correct this condition and
curtail as much as possible the loss, which runs
into millions Of dollars.

Human Traits in PeHcuns

A STRANGE old bird is the pelican, ac-
cording to the famous limerick, but,
strange not, 1t seems to possess traits of
character that are not dificult to discover in
humans.
For instance, in YELLOWSTONE Lake there are
two islands known together as Molly Island.
For years the southern island has been in
habited by pelicans, while the northern has
been appropriated by California gulls. What
the other fellow has always seems more at
tractive to some people. and 1t appears to be
so with the pelicans, for they have entirely
deserted the south island and moved In a body
to the northern one. This was done in spite
of the fact that the gulls have resented this
intrusion to the extent Of considerable NOR
tality among the young of the invaders.
Park experts visiting the south island have
run across another possible explanation of the
exodus of the pelicans which seems to run
true to some sections Of human nature. The
south island was found to be badly cluttered as
a result of the many years of being inhabited
by the peicans. and it is thought possible that
the birds moved on to new quarters leaving
it to some future residents to clear up the old
quarters.
In the nests of the peicans II which young
we're found Matched two birds were Seen one
we'll nourished and the other badly underfed.
Parental favoritism seemed to be indicated,
just as it is often found among humans.

Tuberculosis "Cnyes"

THE much-advertsed cures which have re-
duced the scant funds of unfortunate VIC
Tins of tuberculosis by glowing assurances that
health awaited those who purchased thereof
have practically passed into the limbo through
the efforts of the Department Of Agriculture,
acting under the pure food and drugs acts.
Since 1907, when the department was en-
powered to act, 1871 such medicines have been
driven off tn, market through series of 3S8
judgments.
The fact that tuberculosis is almost univer-
sally present in adults in latent infection
opened a lucrative field for those who sought
to profit by describing symptoms that millions
might apply to themselves at times Of exhaus-
ton. Rest, good food fresh air and proper
exercise are the best cures"

1.-THE Broadway Melody" an elab-
crate production filmed by Metro
Mayer with al~l-talking,
singing and dance effects, is the
attraction which is at the Capitol
theater now. 1t is the most wildly
portrayed drama of back stage life
to reach the screen, with all The
glamour, tinsel and clatter for
which life behind the scenes Is
famous, reproduced in truthful and
vivid manner.
The story, an original by the
celebrated playwright, Edmund
Goulding. relates the sad yet hui
morous experience Of a small town
SISTER act" that looks like material
for the Follies but flops in rehear-
sal. Through it all runs a hui
manly interesting romance. such as
is carried on only in the average
life Of show people, whose chief
aim in living is to entertain the
public for which they perform.
The dramatic climax is a most
heart-gripping episode, for after
struggling to keep her little sister,
from wandering off the straight
and narrow, the coed samaritan
sees true love take its course by
sacrificing her own lover. Anita
Page and Bessie Love appear as the
sister act" and Charles King, mu-
steal comedy star, as the helpful
song-and-dance-man lover.
Kenneth Thomson plays the idle
rich and handsome stage door
Johnnie, who endeavors to gain the
attentions of Miss Page and is the
ultimate cause of the cyclonic eli
max. Mary Doran. Eddie Kane
and others of note are in the sup
porting cast.

CLIMAX NEAR
IN HARDY CASE
Seattle Woman to Testify
For Prosecution About
Aimee Today

SACRAMENTO, Calf, April H.
R+Sensational testimony for the
prosecution In the impeachment
trial Of Superior Judge Carlos s.
Hardy was expected from Mrs. Lor-
raine Wiseman- sielaff, after her
ktval here today from Seattle.
Mrs. Wiseman- Sielaff, who fig
ured as a prosecution witness in the
conspiracy hearing of Aimee
Semple Mcpherson two years ago,
recent made an affidavit saving
Judge Hardy had negotiated with
her to produce a Miss x" in the
Mcpherson case who would admit"
being in the company of Kenneth G..
Ormiston, radio operator, at Car
mel, Cal. The state charged Mrs.
Mcpherson was Ormiston's COM
panion and her KIDNAPPING story was
false.
Judge Hardy is accused of acting
illegally as attorney for Mrs. Nc
Pherson and of obstructing justice
by defending her kidnapping story.
Testimony has been presented in
dicating Mrs. Wiseman-Sielaff con-
ferred with Mrs. Mcpherson about
the miss x" arrangement while the
evangelist's story was under fire,
and she (Mrs. Wiseman- Sielaff)
was directed to confer with Judge
Hardy.
Wallace Moore. a newspaperman,
testified yesterday he was convinced
q woman he saw in Omissions
company in Santa Barbara on the
night Of May 90, 1928. was Mrs.
Mcpherson. The evangelist says at
that ime she was held by kidnapers
in Mexico.
Moore told the Impeachment
court Judge Hardy had warned him
he might be liable to criminal ac-
ton # he falsely identified anyone
in the case and he might be sued if
he accused Mrs. Pherson and later
discovered he had been mistaken.
The prosecution Of Judge Hardy
charged this was an attempt to in
timidate a potential witness against
Mrs. Mcpherson in her conspiracy
hearing.
