Besides. why don't they give
Roscoe a bigger office?
(Clip this out, Roscoe, and
send It up to New York. You
never can tell.)
EARLE--As long as the Earle
is using Charlie Hampden, why
not put him on the stage? It's
. swell stage, after all, and he
can direct the orchestra just as
well from there. Moreover, his
act will go over better.
Now we will just sit back
and wait for the protests to
pour in.
Tomorrow, God willing, we
shall take up the question of
the various outdoor resorts
which have not been touched
upon in previous exposes.

Hardie Meakin, the Fox pub
licist, during the present torrid
term.
just when the sun really be-
gins to sizzle, the Fox Movie
tone plane blows into town, Civ
ing Hardie no end Of additional
labor, and on the heels Of the
planes arrival, somebody's idea
is to entertain 800 boys from,
the Citizens Military Training
Camp, Fort Washington, Nd, at
the second show at the Fox to-
day.
The boys are to meet Presi-
dent Hoover at the White House
and then proceed to the theater,
headed by their own band,
causing Leon Jazzmanian Bru-
siloff to gnash his teeth with
envy.
Besides his regular duties,
Hardie is sending dispatches to
this department on these spe-
cial developments with such
total disregard for hot weather
lassitude that we suspect him
of tipping his notes in an ice
house.

This is "Probe the Movies"
Week for the dramatic depart-
ment Of The Times. A lot re-
mains to be done, what with iri-
vestiEating the picture houses
and d few remaining outdoor re-
sorts before Andrew r. Kelley,
the official maestro Of this de-
partment, stops vacationing and
returns to discover that his sub
stitute has turned everything up
side down.
II would never do to have Mr.
Kelley come back and find that
all the customers had been kept
satisfied, so we herewith dive
into sundry. closets and drag out
4 Jolly assortment of rafting
skeletons to the vulgar gaze.
The inside facts which we
have to offer concerning the l0-
cal picture houses run as fol-
lows:
PALACE-0ne of our star
reviewers. Miss Helen Kinyon,
reports difficulty in getting into
the Palace to see the show,
even when armed with q critics
pass. But everybody at the Pal
ace Is always so pleasant to this
department that we feel this
slight Misunderstanding has
been corrected by this time.
METROPOLITAN --- As the
Metropolitan cooling apparatus
is now working to perfection, we
have no complaint to make.
However, we suggest that Mr..
Payette provide iced tea instead
Of water at those snappy foun-
tains in the lobby. Please see
that this is attended to at an
early date.
FOX-We have never been
able to fathom the mystery of
the huge tickets which the Fox
boxoffice passes out in exchange
for Mr.. Meakin's Annie Oak
leys. The pasteboard bill of
the house must be enormous.
and the meaningless seat checks
fill up ones pockets before one
knows it.
COLUMBIA--Roscoe Drissell,
the manager at the Columbia,
had better do something about
the lost land found department.
The pile of lipsticks, gloves,
books, samples of dress ma
terials is too much for the safe.

There's a good reason why STANDARD" Motor
Oil is an 0iliey motor oil better lubricant.
First of all the crude oils from which Stand
ard" Motor Oil is made are selected for their
lu5yic0ting qualities. These basic stocks are
refined to the correct consistencies for various
types Of motors. The oil is next especially
processcd so that it will cling to and con-
stantly protect each moving part Of the motor.
All this, together with countless tests and
experiments costs time and money. But no
effort is too great for the Standard Oil Com
pany Of New Jersey to give you an oil that is
worthy of the name Standard"

Perfumes Solss Theft,

Several years ago great many registered
letters and packages in the Southwest section
of the United States were being opened and
the contents removed. After much difHculty
the location Of the rohberies was finally mar
rowed down to one Of six post Ofices q
The only clew to the mystery was that after
the packages had been rifled they were sealed.
Upon this frail clue inspectors worked for
several months.
Finally one Of the inspectors was struck
with an idea, but because Il did not seem very
important he decided to try it out without
confding In the other inspectors at work on
the case.
Before long an envelope that had been
robbed Of its contents and then resealed was
given to him. He quickly moistened the
mucilage on the nap and held the envelope to
his nose. After taking good long sniff he
stated that he would have the mystery solved
within week.
What he had done was to prepare six lott
of mucilage. each with different perfume:
lilac, lily Of the valley. violet, mignonette, rose
and heliotrope. This mucilage he distributed
among the six off1ces under suspicion. In
resealing this letter the thief used the mucilage
and when tile inspector shifted the perfume
he knew the ONCE at which the theft took
place.

Deh0rning Is Beneficial

AN ounce Of prevention Is worth whol6
pile Of cure. 80 far IS the dehorning Of
cattle Is concerned.
Breeders Of beef cattle have known for ysAss
Of the ACCESSIBILITY Of dehorning their stock;
as the frequent fights on the ranges result
in bruised carcasses and damaged hides, which
have always meant lower prices ON the market.
Dehorning Of wen grown cattle is difhcult
job and one that requires particularly con-
structed chute In which the cattle are caught
and held by q movable side.
When the operation Is during the calf stage.
however, 1t is only necessary to rub q caustic
over the nubbins where the horns are to grow
and their development is eflciently checked be-
fore it ever begins. This does away with
the need for a saw and clippers.

like danger signals against the dark back
ground.
"wow!" gasped Ted 'Now we're in for 1T
Make for the lake and our boat"
Madly they dashed for the woods as they
heard angry shouts from the truck. They
crashed through the underbrush and raced
along the bank of the stream, the sounds of
pursuit lending wings to their feet The moon
had now dropped behind bank of clouds, and
It was 50 dark that going was difficult, but
they plunged on, unmindful Of the branches
that caught at their legs and whipped their
faces, their one thought TO gain the compare
tive safety of their own boat Once there,
they felt they were safe from pursuit, with the
motors Of the smugglers' boat out Of commits
sion.
In spite Of their speed, it seemed to Ted that
the gang must be gaining on them. Then
suddenly they were out Of the woods on the
open ground that ran down to the beach. But
now their danger was doubled, for as soon as
their purSuers gained the clear ground, they
could see the boys.
Hurry" gasped Ted "They may shoot at
us"
with o desperate burst Of speed they made
Tor the waters edge just as Ted felt the sand
Of the beach under his feet. there was . shout
from the edge Of the woods behind them and
the bark Of q revolver.
"Goliy!" gasped Harry. "I'm glad it's dark"
They were at the waters edge, and now they
stopped In dismay. Looking out to where their
boat had been left, they saw nothing IN the
dim light save the undulating surface Of the
black water.
"our boat" groaned Ted "It's gone!"
Suddenly another shot rang out The bows
turned and could make out three men bearing
down upon them only hundred yards away.
Lets swim for i'll" cried TED desperately.
TITS our only chance"
They didn't even have time to kick of their
shoes or pull off their sweaters Splashing out
into the water, they plunged on until It was
deep enough to swim, and then stroked madly
out into the lake.
Maybe We can outswim them" gasped
Harry. Several more shots came from the
shore, but their pursuers were shooting at
random. Then Ted uttered a choking cry.
I'm afraid I'm not good for much SWIM
ming" he groaned. 'That run took all my
wind"
