No good and sufficient reason has yet been offered by
the negotators of the treaty or the Administration
which submitted to the Senate why the treaty should
be ratified now later.
None of the secret papers leading up to the london
conference of the exchanges between Washington
and London and Tokyo during the time the conference

It is the duty of that committee-"the great COM

Today we are going to the
land of the Bataks to the
north of the Equator.
Lake Toba may be called the
center of the Batak country.
When travellers first went to
Sumatra and attempted to visit
Lake Toba, they were repulsed
by the native Bataks. The
lake was sacred in the eyes of
these natives, and not to be
viewed by foreigners. More
than one party has barely eS-

others have been killed. How
ever, in the past so years the
Bataks have undergone a very
decided change, thanks to the
efforts of the Dutch govern.

made with complete safety.
Fortunately, the Bataks have
changed only in their attitude
toward outsiders. In customs
and habits they have remained
the same.
One comes upon Lake Toba
quickly. The road has been
turning and twisting around
the hills when suddenly you
top rise and look down the
slope to see the lake. 1t is
a veritable mountain lake. The
hills rise on all sides. It's
own elevation is only slightly
less than 5000 feet. The area

Lake Toba are a brilliant and

The Bataks have villages all
around the lake. And in many
respects they are all the same.
The houses are generally
shaped like a ship. The sharp
roof slopes upward until it looks
like the prov of a vessel. And
nearly all of the houses are
built on piles or stills. The open
area under the house serves as
a corral for the domestic ami
mails at night, and as a work
room for the women of the
family during the day.
The women often weave their
own cloth, and out of thread
which they have spun and dyed
themselves. Indigo is plentiful
around Lake Toba and so blue
has become the most popular
color.

something - twisted. utterably

FILM AIR ACHIEVED BY ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Injecting convincing atmosphere into motion picture involves a stupendous amount of work.
 This was illustrated during the mak ing of Soldiers and Women" The film is coming Co the Bradley Theatre on Thursday and Friday. The locale of the film is laid in Haiti. One of the scenes shows the home of Colonel Ritchie, commander of the United States Marine Force. One of Col umbia's huge sound stages was uti- lized for the set, which included a one-story frame cottage, a garden en- closed by huge stucco wall in front of it and winding dirt road that led up to the garden gate.
 But these things merely constitu- ted the still life. In order to make the scene seem real t had to be peopled. This was accomplished by introducing numerous details extran- eous to the plot of the story. but es- sential from an atmospheric stand point. For instance. an ox-cart, drawn by sleepy beasts, numbered around the turn of the road; marines, smart in khaki. strolled or gathered in groups to talk; negro women. bal aneing baskets of fruit or bright green peppers on their heads. passed in silent dignity or stopped to chat with native wateer carriers. These are the details that make drama live.

THIS MAD WORLD" AT
 BRADLEY SATURDAY I

Mefr0-Goldwyn Mayors all-talking This Mad World" fea- turing Basil Rathbone and Kay John son. will open a two-day engagement at the Bradley Theatre starting Sat arday. The picture. adapted by Clara Beranger from Francois de Curel's play, "rerre lnhumaine," is said to he the first serious drama connected with the World War to be made by this company since The Big Parade.
 lt Is reported the production is unique in the respect that 1t re- sembles a stage play more closely than any drama yet adapted for screen purposes.
 1t has been announced that the new de Mile production deals with a phase of the World War rather than with actual military operations, the drama being based on an emotional crisis brought about as the result of a meeting between a French spy and the wife of German general who is billeted in the home of the spy's mother on German territory.
 When Victoria. the generals wife lplayed by Miss Johnson), discovers Faul Parisot (Rathhone) to be in employ Of the French Secret Service she determines to reveal his identity. Paul believes he will have to put her out of the way in order to carry out his plans, and follows her as she leav- es the house to go to the German headquarters.
 Catching up with her. he lures her to ruined Chateau nearby with mur- derous intentions. but here fate takes a hand and Paul falls in love with the beautiful Victoria. From this point on the story deals with the tragic conflict between love and pa- triotism and is said to conclude with a totally unexpected but logical climax.
