Miss Del Rio as "Lita" in The Bad

Her character is that of a girl

comedienne, The Awful Truth"
Pathe's all-dialogue version Of the
stage success, opens Sunday at the
Queen theatre. Ina Claire. the
star, scores a personal triumph.
Based upon a play in which Miss
Claire made one of her most popular
hits, the vehicle proves ideal for her
debut in talking pictures. As the

band, who divorces him because OF
MS Jealousy-to say nothing OF
hers-but who finds she can't get
along without him and decides to

MISS Claire gives a performance
that IS tremendously effective. The
comedy Is effective. The strength Of
The Awful Truth lies in its
humanneSs and the finesse with
which it is presented by a capable
cast Of players.

RITCHE's ENGRAVING FROM THE CARPENTER PAINTING

Hoover was temporarily back in the
old home town where he kept his head
office-San Francisco. Most of his re-
turns were temporary just then; the
eXigencies of his international mining
business kept him shooting to Australia,
Asia or Europe. Strolling up Vallejo
street he saw this engraving in the
window of a secondhand store. Those
were the days when persons possessed

more natural Judgment revived an in

age. Hoover liked it-probably for its
fortnight old technique; still more
probably because it registered a great
moment in American history. On i'm
pulse, he went in and bought 1t for a
dollar or so and carried it home.
Thencefc-th it went with him on all his
travels.
Wherever they alighted the Hoovers
always created a home about them
selves, and they have the same fidelity
to old pictures as to old friends. A

Some are disposed to minimize the

allowed to have effected. saying that
they are no greater than was to be
expected had there been no Interrupt

does not agree; in my opinion the
dictator effected quite extraordinary
things in the economic field. Quite
likely it is better that some other
should preside over the restoration of
constitutionalism, but 1t would be
calamitous were his improvements
allowed to lapse. This was only as to
economic matters, but no less as to
certain matters Of government, such
as the restoration OF the ancient
municipal and provincial bodies.

guns. They are the only units in the
two fleets carrying guns of so low a
caliber.
They antedate-two by two years and
two by three years-the four oldest
battleShips of the British feet. These
four and the battle cruiser Tiger. of
the same age, carry 13.5-inch guns. The
Texas and the New York, which, with
the Arkansas, are due for replacement
in 1885, have 14-inch guns. The four
British ships on the treaty list for re-
placement, except the Tiger, have Is
inch guns.
Battery Equalization Needed.
British caliber superiority, in fact,
goes all down the line until the last
three American units are reached. The
Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Arr
IONA, Mississippi, New Mexico, Idaho,
Tennessee and California carry 14-inch
guns. The corresponding British battle
ships-the Malaga, Royal Sovereign,
Revenge, Resolution, Royal Oak, VAL
liant and Ramillies-and the battleship
cruisers Renown. Repulse and Hood
carry 15-inch guns.
The Maryland, West Virginia and
Colorado of our Navy and the 1927
Rodney-carry l6-inch guns, the first
three eight apiece and the last two nine
apiece.
Adjustment of the fighting power of
the two battle fleets is dependent on
battery equalization as well as on ton

the treaty only by replacement. If the

TIME following is a brief summary
of the most important news of
the world for the seven days
i ended February g.:
II + X
GREAT BRITAIN.-The Labor gov
eminent Is maneuvering anXiouSly in
order to carry on at least past the naval
parley. The Lords the other day amend
ed the unemployment insurance bill so
as to limit its term to one year. The
government, to avoid going to the coun-
try, which fat rejection by the Com
mons of the amendment would compel,
agrees to a three-year limit, in which
compromise the Lords are expected to
acquieSce. The government, moreover,
has made an arrangement with the Lib
erals whereby the final Commons debate
in the most controversial feature of the
coal bill-the compulsory marketing
features to be postponed. On the
other most important features Of that
bill, those, namely, relating to hours
of labor and amalgamations, the Lib
erals make no issue with the govern
ment. and, of course, the combined votes
of the Laborites and Liberals could
carry the bill in the Commons.

SPAIN.-Who could wish to be a die
tator? There's no let-up. Suppose
your dictator to have notably bucked
up the general economy, and then a
slump to come, such as under CON
stitutional normality" would most like
ly be recognized as in the nature of
things, as correspondent to economic
law; why, then, the dictator Is blamed,
his position Is imperiled.
Something like this happened in the
case of Primo De Rivera. Before his
coup d'etat in 1928 there had for some
years been budget deficits averaging
the annual equivalent of about 5000
100000. He never quite succeeded in
balancing the budget, but the 1925
deficit was only about the equivalent
of $50,000,000. In the three years pre-
ceding the coup d'etat the balances OF
foreign trade were adverse by an an
nual average of about the equivalent OF
$3OO,OOO,OOO. In 1928 the unfavorable
excess was down to 500, 000, 900.
So far, improvement. But in 1926
the foreign trade balance had a serious
relapse. This had a bad effect an the

States, eight by Great Britain and six
by Japan. The saving contemplated
is seen to be tremendous. The annual
cost of maintaining an American CAPT.
tai ship in commission Is about $780,
900 and the cost of battleship ex-
ceedS the endowment Of any but the
very greatest American universities.
There seems every reason to expect
action approximating the plan glanced
at.

NOTES.-The world is watching with
great interest the developments in Paris,
the evident trend and aim of which are
to make Paris q serious rival OF New

to give effect to the Young plan, and
has forwarded them to the Reichstag.

the very morning of his death already
was familiar. Lincoln used it for a
study; and, as his administration found
itself, met his cabinet there instead of
in the more pretentious adjoining room.
Each occupant of the presidency has
changed things about to suit his tastes
and needs. Although a tablet in the
mantelpieces announces that the Eman-
cipation Proclamation was signed here,
the room has served various uses. Be-
fore the White House had executive Of

President Hoover, making his own re-

room to other uses. Tentatively he had

house noticed an interesting thing. The

made his engraving, not only represent

could account for its fidelity and detail.

Presently the man exhausted

" YER since President Hoover came
l. to the White House there has
hung over the mantelpiece of
IL the Lincoln study a steel en-
craving which seems to mirror
the room itself. Engraved by Richie
from the painting by Carpenter, 1t
represents the moment when in that
spot President Lincoln read his Emanci-
patton Proclamation to his cabinet.
A familiar, old-fashioned American
print, its replicas hung by thousands in
humble parlors from Maine to Cali
fornia; few years ago, before the an
tique business awoke to an interest in
the Victorian, it could be bought in
secondhand stores for 50 or anything
you might offer. But this particular
copy had an interest apart from its
exalted position in the heart of the
Nation. For one thing, it Is the Presi-
dents personal posseSsion-he has
owned it and lived with 1t for nearly a
quarter Of a century. For another, 1t
has made domestic history in the White
House. With its careful and authentic
record of detail. it has stood as a
model for an attempt to restore that
study to something of its furnishings
and appearance in the Lincoln day.
