of seeing a first class 'big-time" New York musical comedy star in a motion picture. This inspiring event will take place when Mid night Life" a Gotham production, comes to town, Tuesday, where it will play for two days. And the star is the light-footed Eddie Buz- zell, late of "Tip-Toes, "The Des- ert Song" and other Broadway hits.
 Eddie trips the light fantastic in this thrilling underworld picture as "hoofer" who hasn't made good yet, and his partner is Ger trude Olmstead, as pretty and dy- mamie as ever. Midnight Life" stars Francis X. Bushman in the role of perhaps his most graphic role since Ben Hur.p BuzzeH's footwork is amazing, and it is no wonder he has a following of mill lions!

ALASKAN STATEHOOD" DEBATE SUBJECT FOR
 CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS

Resolved: That Alaska Should Be Granted Statehood" is the next subject which the Central Califor- mia debating teams will discuss pro and con, and all information which will help one way or the other has been requested of L. D. Henderson, Territorial Commissioner of Educa- ton. The letter received from Miss Dorothy Riggs, Debate Manager of the Modesto Public Schools, said that any information concerning the subject would be greatly appreciat- ed. She did not explain, however, how such perplexing subject came to be chosen for the school chil~ dren to debate.
 MT. Henderson has mailed con- siderable literature to the Modesto schools concerning the Territory, including a pamphlet which was issued by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce about five years ago when they were discussing the separation of the panhandle of Alaska from the rest of the Terri tory with the idea that it might achieve Statehood more quickly.

 GOOD SHOW, PALACE

Winning great praise because ot it's beauty and manifold entertain ment qualities, s'Pals in Paradise, 8 Metropolitan picture featuring Marguerite De La Motte, John Bowers, Rudolph Schildkraut, and May Robson, scored a notable suc- cess on it's presentation at the Pal ace theatre yesterday.

THE LOVE OF SUNYA"
 IS NOW AT COLISEUM

All the personality and ability o1 Gloria Swanson as an actress makes '4The Love of Sunya'' her first United Artists picture, which open ed at the Coliseum Theatre yester- day, the outstanding cinematic suc- cess of the year.
 Gloria wears many beautiful and lavish costumes in this film, but standing out above everything is her inspired and scintillating act ing. She has five intensely dra- matic characterizations and she interprets each of them with such force and effect that no doubt is left in the opinion of numerous critics that she is the greatest ac- tress on the screen today.
 "The Love of Sunya" is a story of conflicting love and ambition, fraught with mysticism of the Seers of ancient Egypt. It is far differ ent from the usual story presented on the screen and this in itself should attract many persons to the Coliseum theatre.
 Miss Swanson is supported by a strong cast, including several faces new to the screen.

New Step to Preserve
Food Fishes Is Hailed

From the Detroit News.
When Gov. H. G. Leslie afiixed his
signature to the Indiana commercial
fishing law last week it marked another
milestone in the path of progress to-
ward uniform commercial fishing regu-
lations for the Great Lakes. The new
Indiana law was based, so far as 1t
applies to the Great Lakes, upon the
code adopted by Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan at Madison q short time
back. This now gives us four States
pledged to uniformity IN commercial
fishing regulations. Ontario, through
her Minister of Fisheries, merely awaits
the adoption Of the new code in the
Lakes States to put into effect sufi-
cient orders In council to match UP with
the new regulations.
The situation at the present time is
very encouraging, with Illinois, Ohio,
New York and Pennsylvania all seeking
to put through favorable legislation this
year.
Although the Great Lakes shore line
Of Indiana Is limited to about so miles,
her adoption of this new code, as well as
that OF Illinois, Is necessary for COM
plete harmony among the States. AS
soon as Illinois comes In, the situation,
so far as Lakes Michigan, Superior and
Huron are concerned, becomes settled.
This leaves only Lakes Erie and On
tario still open, with every indication
that the States bordering will soon pass
the necessary legislation.
The adoption Of this new uniform
commercial fishing code marks the
greatest advance that has ever been
recorded toward the preservation of the
food fishes Of the Great Lakes.

Chicago. About year ago, much to
Mr.. Johnson's dismay, Mrs. johnson de-
serted the family fireside. Terribly up
set by this happening, the forlorn hus-
band decided to embark on a campaign
of flowers, candy and gifts to win back
the affection of his loved one. After
a month or so Of daily presents from
Mr.. Johnson, Mrs. johnson became
rather annoyed and appealed to court
to prevent him from further showing his
esteem. The court, however, aware that
this was rare type of male. in the mat
ter of lavishness to his spouse. decided
that such affection should not be In
vain, and ordered Mrs. johnson to see
him once a week and to let the gifts
continue undated.
Even this new system, however, did
not appease Mrs. johnson and although
the husband doubtless talked himself
blue in the face" on the Wednesdays
that he was allowed to see her and Sc
riously depleted the florists shops Of
Chicago, little prograss was made. He
was so much at standstill, in fact,
that he seemed to be going backward
because Mrs. johnson decided that she
liked other mems company In order to
forget the ennui of his weekly visits
and daily presents. Mr.. johnson did
not relish this new angle of the affair.
50 the first man he saw with his wife
he calmly punched in the jaw. Hailed
into court again his luck still held good
and he was discharged by the Judge.
Now despite the fact that Mr.. John
son can claim the undisputed title of
the worlds most persistent sutton it
would seem to be about time for him to

Joke on Job Hunter
Denounced as Tragic

From the Portland oregon Daily Journal.
Paying out his last $40 to make the
trip, Q Pendleton man, In answer to
an April fool want ad, Is said to have
come all the way to Portland to apply
for Q job as detective for the tele-
phone company.
OF course, there was no Job. The
trip was in vain. The want ad was
cruel April fool joke by somebody
who doesn't know the difference be-
tween humor and tragedy.
More than 100 men applied In re-
Spouse to the ad, which asked for two
detectives to work for the telephone
company. Each man who surged into
the ofilce In quest Of employment, went
there in eager anticipation, but, of
course, turned away in pointment,
many in encouragement.
AS the busy world goes speeding by
how many folks see beneath the exte-
ri0r Of the men who swarm these days
about the employment offices? In that
mass Of waiting men, waiting for work
to start somewhere that will mean o
job for hands now idle, how many are
down to their last dollar with room refst
overdue? Who knows?
As the unemployed stand there %

ing for the job to come, there Is mute
eloquence In the silent figures, the
bro1zed faces and anxious air.

Old Family Names
Do Not Give Immunity
.om the Ann Arbor Daily News.

Coast guards boarded the yacht Of

New York's Oldest families" and con-
Quoted search for liquor, or smuggled
goods, or something. The incident has
caused q lot Of excitement, for some
strange reason.
1t is inconvenient, of course, for one
of the oldest families to be disturbed in
such a manner. It would be equally
disconcerting, however, for one of the
youngest families.
Apologies may have to be made. Still,
1t Is likely there were some mitigating
circumstances. For example, there Is
no evidence that the yacht Restless dis
played any insignia to show that 1t was
the property of an old family.
Possibly the Fish coat-of-srms was
in evidence, but 1t might not be easily
decipherable by the Coast Guard, UNI
less 1t included the image Of q fish, and
presumably 1t would not.
Maybe, after all, 1t will be possible
to show that the boarders We're within
their rights, even In the event that they
were aware of the old family feature.
They might even have been cognizant
of the owners name and still not have
committed a moral or legal wrong

Veterans on Juries.

The legal doctrine by which veterans
Of the World War have been prevented.
for all practical purposes, from serving
on criminal juries in the District OF
Columbia seems tenuous and far
fetched to the layman.
If the former service man has a war
risk insurance policy or an adjusted
compensation certificate, or II he Is
receiving compensation for war injuries,
it has been the practise to consider him
as ineligible. In one case he has. the
oretically at least, a contractual relation
with the Government. In the others he
is q beneficiary Of Uncle Sam. An In
dividual in either status, It has been
held In the past, by virtue Of the re-
lationship might be prejudiced In favor
of the Government. A lively sense OF
gratitude might prevent him from re-
turning verdict against his benefactor.
He would not, moreover, wish to reduce
the Governments capacity to meet the
terms Of his contract.
Here. of course, the facts do not CO.
incide. with the cold legal logic which
has led to such doctrine. It Is ex-
tremely improbable that any veteran
ever actually felt . prejudice In favos
OF the Government because of such re-
lations. His sentiments. it is more Ike
". would be exactly the opposite.
Nevertheless, q process Of pure rea-
scning leads inevitably to the conclusion
that such q state Of mind might exist
The law must take it into consideration
Otherwise the rights Of the defendant
