JEFF is JUMPER

EFF is JUMPER
OF the two, Jeff boasts of the greater reputation.
His skill as a jumper has been something that army
men have pointed to with pride for many years.
Major John G. Quackrnire, a former aide to the
general, rode Jeff to most Of his victories in jumps.
And they were many. Before he became too old, Jeff
had won blue ribbons and medals of all descriptions
enough to fill a good size box.
They say around the army stables here that he
was a natural jumper, and that he enjoyed nothing
more. Never was his rider forced to punish him to
make a hurdle.
There is a story Of how Jeff was taken to Rock
Greek park here one day by a none-too-skilled rider
"a high army officer, where other horses were jump
ing. Each time he would see one of the horses make
a high hurdle Jeff could only be held back by force.
Finally the rider decided to let him take a two-foot
jump.
Back horse and rider went, turned, and advanced
toward the hurdle. Jeff ignored the low barrier and
,eaped high enough to clear one three times its size.
His rider doesn't know to this good day how he man
aged to stay on.
But General Pershing has decreed that Jeffs
jumping days are over. Only a short while ago he
refused to permit his horse to enter a contest. de-
claring that he was too old.

Kidron is a French thoroughbred and came to the
general from the race tracks Of France. He was used
by Pershing whenever possible overseas and was his

Kidron was brought back to this country at the
conclusion of the world war and given a place in the
army stables. AS a matter Of fact. he is the prop

officially he still belongs to the general.

Of several years ago.
Both Jeff and Kidron are the objects Of special
care at the army stables here. They occupy stalls
125 and 126 and are attended by Staff Sergeant Ed

The two are inseparable. Jeff Is never taken out

KYNE'S STORY AT
 PALACE TONIGHT

TO establish a record in motion pictures and to retain it for more than twelve years is the distinction which Walter Long enjoys. For more than twelve years Long has been cast in "heavy" roles-real dyed-in-the-wool villains. And with it all he has never been given an opportunity to become regenerated.
 Ever since "The Birth of Ma tion," in which Longs portrayal of Gus was one of the outstanding performances, he has been unable to live down his screen past. A care- full survey of his productions will pfbve that Long is the long dis taf1ce champ of all screen heavies
 tong's latest villainy occurs in aJim, the Conqueror" which fea- tlites William Boyd and Elinor Fair and which is on view at the Palace tonight. Thomas Santschi, Tully Marshall and Marcelle Cor day have roles in. this Peter B. Ksne story which George B. seitz directed.

Gish will open at the Palace on Thanksgiving Day. It is story woven around the historic Camp bell and Macdonald Clans of Scot land. Norman Kerry, David Tor renee, Patricia Avery, Hobart Bos- worth, Creighton Hale, Frank Cur rier and Brandon Hurst are the ac- tors supporting Miss Gish. The Scot has achieved notbale distinc- ton on all the roads of life's high way. No small part has the Scots- man played in the arts and sciences and literature and on the field of honor as well as in the halls of government or the temples of God. Nor does histrion's temple lack it's quota of great artists.

NEW AIR RADIO SETS
cOMPACTLY BUILT
Fifty-five Pounds Saved Planes Car
rying Device for Receiving and
Beacon Signaling.

DAYTON, Ohio OP.-A new COM
pact type radio receiver for communi-
cation and radio beacon signals has
been successfully tested at Wright Field
here, and soon will be standard equip
ment on Army Air Corps planes.
The new set saves S. pounds in
weight in the plane. It Is 81 pounds
lighter thansthe one now used, and an
additional saving of 10, pounds was
made by replacing batteries and gen.
orators with q double voltage genera
tor geared to the motor.
The new generator provides current
for the fllament and the plate on the
radio receiver, and also provides sum-
cient current to operate small trans
mitter. This generator may be oper-
ated on the ground or in the air as
long as the motor Is running.
Lieut.. H. p. Roberts, In charge Of the
Signal Corps Aircraft Laboratory, and
Lieut.. Leroy M. Wolfe, Air Corps radio
offlcer, made the tests on the new set.
An automatic voltage regulator has
been installed between the receiver and
the double voltage generator, which
keeps power on the radio tubes con-
slant at all motor speeds.

Republican leaders of the House

tie, Administration forces today were
rallying to save the new Hoover
approved farm relief bill from fur
ther modification at the hands of
a Democratic-insurgent coalition.
After adopting the export deben-
ture plan, which Mr.. Hoover disap-
proved, the Senate slashed out of
the bill provision giving the Presi-
dent power to fix the salary of the
chairman of the proposed Federal
farm board. Nothing quite like this
power has ever been given Presi-
dent and the Senate coalition denied
it to Mr.. Hoover.
Other Rebukes Feared
This action in itself did not alarm
Administration leaders so much as
it's significance. They interpreted
it as meaning that the Administra-
ton, despite its great paper" ma
jarity in the Senate has lost con-
troll Of that branch Of Congress to
the old Democratic-Insurg alli-
ance, just as it did in the Seven

President could, have paid $4,000

vote of 46 to 80.
