Adapted for the screen from THE
Haunted Lady," a magazine story by
Adela Rogers st. Johns, scandal Is
said to be one Of the most unusual
dramas of society that have been

to adhere closely to the original script
The love of former sutton for a

Foundation Of the plot. He reappears
to haunt, taunt and tempt her. She
fears scandal worse than death: So
does the man she has married. Finally
she is faced with choice between the
wrecking of her home and seeing
man 20 to prison unjustly.
Laura La Plante has the role OF the
Young matron. Huntley Gordon plays
the husband, and John Boles, former
musical comedy favorite, the suitor.

pices of the Film Arts Guild at the

"Simba" was photographed in its en-
tirety by Mr.. and Mrs. Martin johnson,
whose numerous hunting exploits are
well known. Their party, with the ex-
ception of two American Boy Scouts,
was composed of native blacks, re-

shots were obtained, among them q
scene showing the stampede OF a herd
of wild elephants, terroriZed by jun

the flames. Another unusual scene
shows a tiger that had been frightened

Though all the comforts Of home were
not denied the Johnsons and their en-
courage in the Lumbwa village, they
did not fare so well out on the veldt
but endured many hardships and dan

"Simba" was sponsored by the Amer

guests at the home Of Mrs. Mabel
Gilman Corey. now engaged to be
married to the Infsnte Luis Ferdi-
nand de Bourbon Of Spain, are
whispering about the strange change
which has come over the most bril-
liant hostess of Paris.
Until about a year ago. for de-
cade Mrs. Corey, former wife Of VIII

king, had let no week 90 by with
out giving a party which outrivalled
anything in Paris in lavishness, cost

Today, in her Cheateaur. which

air Of abandonment rules the salons;

c5Fered from conversations with
friends of Mrs. Corey and her sis

woman who once loved to surround
herself with people and to plan gay
parties now walks alone through the
forest which skirts her estate.
Mrs. COrey'S aversion TO people

Her friends attribute the change
which has come over Mrs. Corey to
the ordeal she is undergoing to
marry the cousin of the king of
Spain. the Infante Luis. She has
abandoned the Protestant faith and
embraced the Catholic, for to marry
a Bourbon one must be Catholic.
The Spanish Bombons do not look
kindly upon the match, excepting
the Infanta Eulalia, the kings aunt,
who knows Mrs. Corey well and sees
in the marriage an opportunity for
her son, Luis, to rehabilitate him
self.
But the king, the head of the
family. who has the power of veto,
hesitates. Reports appearing re-
Gently in the American press have
preiudiced him against the match.

The story of the Industrial Con-
ference is mainly taken up by quo
tations from one Rev. Norman
Thomas, socialist and League for In
dustrial Democracy man-enemy of
Communism and militant unionism.
Thomas told them that industry
could abolish poverty, if properly
used. His discussion seemed to in
dictate that it is now improperly used
because, says Thomas, "The trouble
is, we don't use it correctly. One
town gets a textile mill, and then
the neighboring town, in a spirit of
rivalry, must have textile mill too.
The result is production in this
field, and many out of work"
And with this brilliant analysis
made, the conference entered his
tory.
The workers burdened under Mr..
Nash's golden rule, or rule of gold,
and sweating in Southern cotton
mills, think that the mere presence
of too many mills could be endured
if the workers had more income and
shorter work day, such as they
could get if they did not have a
useless drone class of millionaire
owners to support.

Science F1Ourishes in the USSR
BY Fred Ellis

and UNEMPLOYED. During the last
few years many expeditions have
been organized as a result of which
many unchartered regions have been
mapped, minerals discovered, and the
hidden resources exposed. One of
the most recent practical results of
this vast scientific work is the con-
struction of a great factory by the
state for the utilization of apatite,
phosphorus mineral, discovered in
1924 by the Fersmann expedition,
in the central part of the Kola pen
insula, province of Thurman, near the
Murmansk railway.
AS a result of this expedition in
to the northern marshes (the Tun-
dra) it was discovered that the
southern section of the region alone
contained many square miles of this
mineral in vein of thickness of
240 meters, constituting the largest
field of its kind in the Soviet Union.
The mineral found in the tundra is
of high quality containing between
40 and 80 per cent of apatites. High
ly favorable results were obtained
when the mineral was refined.
These expeditions, participated in
by scientists of all kinds, also add
considerable information and dis
coveries to the body of science. An
archaeological expedition making ex-
cavations in the Buriato- Mongolian
republic, at the eastern extremity of
the Soviet Union, has only recently
aroused considerable interest by the
announcement that it had unearthed
in different parts of the Soviet re-
public, So ancient tombs, an encamp-
ment and the ruins of an ancient
city. The expedition also found traces
of primitive man and discovered
stone weapons of the paleolithic age.

By GERTRUDE MUELLER.

The women silk workers of Pater-
son, just as are the women in indus
try almost anywhere you find them,
are more exploited even than the
men. The majority of them work
in special crafts which the men
never enter-the winders and the
quillers. These are less skilled
crafts than weaving and are flooded
with young girls. Eighteen or
twenty dollars a week is considered
good pay and rarely does the price
rise above that. In many cases
these girls are forced to work longer
hours than the rest of the shop be-
cause with the industry so broken
up into small cockroach shops as the
silk industries in Paterson, it is not
worth while to hire an extra girl to
do the necessary winding and quill
ling which one girl cannot manage
in eight hours. Ten hours is quite
common for these girls to work,
when the rest of the shop works only
eight.
Mil...ants Demanded Union.
Up to the time of the strike, the
left wing of the Associated SILK
Workers had many times advocated
and urged measures to organize the
winders and quillers. They always
got the same answer from the Of
ficials-the door of the union is open
to these crafts, but first we must
organize the weavers. When an
attempt was made to put in spe-
cial organizer for them, it was
laughed at - "the weavers in the
chops can organize them," said our
officials.
Wien we tried to get the old
union II organize woman's auxil-
larry, to mobilize the wives of the
men, educate them to the need of
standing by their husbands and to
understand their struggles, in order
that in the struggle which we knew
