SCHOOL BILLS
CAUSE DEBATE

Spirited debate on school and
library building programs for the
District is expected to crop up today,
when the House District Committee
meets to consider bills authorizing
an aggregate appropriation Of
$12 ,000,0 900.
Representative Frederick N. Zihl.
man, of Maryland, chairman Of the
committee, intends to call up the
bill, sponsored by Representative
Ernest w. Gibson. of Vermont,
calling for a So 900 ,000 program for
construction of branches of the
Public Library and improvements
to the central library. No time
limit is set upon the expenditure
of the sum.
Gibson today said he would ask
that his bill be taken up jointly
with a measure authorizing $10,-
600. 1000, ito be made available
as needed" for additional construc.
tion in the public school system,
drafted by Representative Robert
G. Simmons, of Nebraska, chairman
of the District subcommittee of the
House Appropriation Committee.
Gibson feels that both bills should
be taken up at the same time, and
possibly consolidated, as he has in
mind construction of a number Of
branch Libraries in existing school
structures and as additions thereto.
1t is noted that neither bill fixes
definite time in which to expend
the appropriations. On the Other
side of the picture is Representa-
tive Zihlman's own bill, calling for
a second five-year building pro-
gram for the District schools.
Zihlman's bill differs from Sim
mons also in that it authorizes
specific construction projects in the
school system. Simmons would
leave this question to the future
decision of school officials.

Stomach Disorders
First Revealed by
Coated Tongue

Your tongue is nothing more
than the upper end of your stom-
ach and intestines. 1t is the first
thing your doctor looks at. 1t tells
at a glance the condition of your
digestive system-and physicians
say that 90@o of all sickness starts
with stomach and bowel trouble.
A coated tongue is danger sig
nal of those digestive disorders
which lead to so many kinds of
serious illness. It tells why the
least exertion tires you out; why
you have pains in the bowels, gas,
sour stomach, dizzy spells.
Coating on the tongue is a sign
that you need Tanlac-the medi-
cine which has helped thousands
who were physical wrecks from
stomach and bowel troubles-who
had "tried everything" in vain and
about given up hope.
Tanlac contains no mineral
drugs; it is made of barks, herbs
and roots. Get bottle from your
druggist today. Your money back
if it doesn't help you.

Friday and Saturday. Love un-
der the tropic moon grim
shadows of the money-hungry
white man-fantastic scenery; far
flung, gorgeous, but terrible "a
thrilling drama of dying race.
These factors all contribute to
make w. S. Van Dykes produc-
tion, 'White Shadows in the South
Seas" a picture that is human,
natural and different. The Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer production scars
to a new high level of popular in
terest. Van Dyke has taken an
idea; namely that the white man,
wherever they find their way
around the world, bring with them
a shadow which when thrown over
primitive races results in disease,
destruction and death for the sim
pie savage. On this new but sim
pie theme he has woven a screen
drama, violent and terrible but
tragically beautiful. The story
opens with Monte Blue as DR..
Lloyd, a beachcomber physician,
salvaging the lives of native pearl
divers on a South Sea island.
These natives, urged on by the
white mans cupidity, dive to great
depths in search of the elusive
mussels, and as a result are dying
out rapidly from the tremendous
pressure. Lloyd finds in his own
manned heart a great pity for
these simple islanders. This pity
earns him the enmity of the rene
gade whites on the island and he
is shanghaied aboard pestship.
After all others except himself
have died, the ship is wrecked on
a lonely uncharted atoll and Lloyd
is cast ashore.

Wednesday and When
Thornton Wilder astounded the
literary world with THE Bridge Of
Luis Rey," readers speculated and
marveled. Out of all the contro-
versy and discussion came one
unanimous statement They'll
never be able to make a moving
picture of it," But it seems that
the one definite thing the amazed
critics said about the book was
wrong. For now is play that,
on the screen, is as great a sensa-
tion as was the original novel in
literature. THE Bridge of San
Luis Rey" not only was made into
motion picture-but into an as
toundingly good one. Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer's vivid transcription of
the Pulitzer prize winning novel is
unlike any picture in the world.
1t has literally placed thoughts
ahead of characters on the screen.
1t lays bare human lives and from
them let's the audience assemble
an idea. 1t was done by several
methods; primarily by the great
est cast ever assembled for a sin
gle picture, with every player
hand picked to fit the particular
role. The idea of the novel was
strictly adhered to, and utmost fl
deity was used by Charles Brabin
in directing. Strange light effects
and impressionistic settings added
to the effectiveness of it all.

 Paris, May e1 GP-America's offer to accept a substantial reduction in the amount of annuities in settle- ment of its war claims on Germany has become the event of the hour in France.
 The reparation experts have been imbued with new optimism by the concession, which, while small in proportion to the total rcparation claims. may be just sufficient to in- duce the remaining necessary com promise on the part of others.
 One of the experts offered the comment, "our hope of success is now very strong"
 In French circles the American offer was understood to be for a ten per cent reduction in the size of an- nuities to the United States arrears on the casts of occupation of the Rhineland. or, about $1.190,00O a year for 37 years. This figure. it was said. represented only approxi- mately out fourth of one per cent of the total German annuities to the creditor nations.
 However, it was understood, a mere matter of about three-quarters of one per cent of the annuities as asked by the allies has separated them from the figures the Germans have indicated as acceptable. Thus but one-half per cent of 10000, O00
