COMEDY COMING TO
 COLISEUM, TONIGHT

Slapstick that is good slapstlck will always bring down the house. Beware of Bachelors" the War ner Bros comedy of newlywces does just that. It is the uproari- oas type of play that makes the yrcuchiest forget his groucn.
 Beware Of Bachelors" comes to the Coliseum tonight. The story is by Mark Canfield, the scenario by Robert Lo.d, and the direction by Roy Del Ruth. The cast is headed by those favorites of fandon, Aud rey Ferris and William Collier, Jr., this time cast as flapper bride and gallivanting sheik doctor. Clyde Ccok, the wee Australian funny man, is in it, too, and Andre Der anger, in another of his hizaTre characterizations Of the effeminate male, and Dave Morris, the noun taincus, who first saw the light of day in a circus tent. Then there is the charming lady from Utah, Margaret Livingston.
 The tale has to do with the ways and means adopted by jeal- ous wife to get her medico hus- band weaned from the lady pa tients of his clientele, to whom he has given unwarranted attention. The startling adventures which she encounters keep the audience in a furore of amusement >-om start to finish of the clever comedy. And | it is with the very good will of the audience that both bride and groom hie them back to the home fires.

Somerset Vaughan success. These sets include a full-sized bungalow located in the heart of a rubber plantation; a court room holding 200 persons; a Chinese gambling house, the homes and offices of various colonial settlers and scenes of breeding jungle and bustling street which the stage could not at tempt to show. Throughout the picture the jungle setting is em- phasized.
 Miss Eagles has O. P. Heggie, Herbert Marshall and Reginald Owen as featured members of her supporting cast, all of whom were recruited from the stage. Because of this, the all-talking version, as it will be presented at the Coliseum Sunday, is certain to be received by local filmgoers with boundless enthusiasm.

HOLM WOOD, March l3.-The movie microphones are succumbing to the germ of wanderlust.
 It may be that the first faint bre a tn Of Southern California's springtime is working it's will on Hollywood producers and directors who formerly were satisfied to bring the Grand Canyon or the South Seas to a sound stage in stead of packing up their players for long trip.
 More probably, because Holly woods chief industry watches it's pennies in spring as in winter, the practicability of outdoor recording, with increasing technical improve ments, is responsible. m 0
 Whatever the cause, there seems to be more general inclination to take company of actors to a scene rather than build an imitation set on a Hollywood stage. r

which is the present attraction at the Palace Theatre.
 In exquisite garb, with role that calls for stirring emotional acting, and supported by superb cast, she has splendid opportunity for again proving her ability as well as once more assuring us that there is no lovelier woman gracing the screen today.
 The story is by Lajos Biro, adapt ed and scenarized by Winifred Dunn and directed by Frank Lloyd, who recently made "The Divine Lady" starring Ccrinne Griffith. It deals with the plight of Russian royalty and aristocracy following the revo- luticn. They flee to Paris and there their destinies are worked 'out. The theme of jealousy forms the basis of the story and involves the lovely Princess Elena and her consort, Prince Serge, played by Antonio Moreno with great skill
 Several arresting types are found in the picture. Lucy Doraine in the part of the maid to the prin- cess, a good role, is a former UFA star, known as the girl with the million dollar legs,' a genuine beauty from Budapest Nicholas Soussanin, native of Crimea, and former Russian stage star, is the villain; Nicholas Bela, of the Com edie Francaise, in Paris, and the Gaiety stock company in Budapest, is the super valet, Ivan; Emil Chau- ltard, former well-known director, is Russian general.

STAMFORD TREES DAMAGED IN RAIN
Oaks Are Found to Be Struck

Stamford. July 29 lPl-Many tow erlng elms and oaks were damaged in the electrical storm of last Thurs day, reports received at the Bartlett Tree Research laboratories here in- dicate, Many Of the trees are his torically famous and most of them are invaluable shade tree specimens.
 Inquiries have been received at the laboratories concerning lightning damage. its effect on various species, AS 2, general rule. the answer given is that the tree which is 8 rela

spread and reaches deep into moist soil, is the one which is in the most danger of being struck.s No tree is immune, however.
 These factors are set forth in con- nection with lightning damage:
 Among trees of the same kind the one which stands well above its neighbors is in the most danger, even in a dense forest,
 2-Trees growing in the open, either singly or in smal lgroups, are in more danger than those in a dense forest,
 S-Trees growing along avenues or in the border of a wood are also struck by lightning more often than those in thick woods.
 A tree growing in moist soil, that is. along the banks of a stream or a lake. or close to some other source of moisture, is a better con- ductor for lightning than one grow ing in drier soil.
 5-Trees growing in loam and sandy soil are struck much more frequently than those in clay soils.
 G-Sound trees in general are less likely 10 he seriously damaged than those with rotten wood. If the sound tree is also a relatively good conductor, lightning will go to earth easily. but rotten wood is a poor conductor of electricity so that the passage or the lightning current through this nearly conducting portion often results in a shattering of the tree, and when dry the tree may he set on fire.
 7-StarChy trees. of which the oak is a good example. are better con- ductors of electricity than oil trees like the beech. The conifers are intermediate.
 Recent studies confirmed the fact than the oak IS struck much more frequently than other kinds of trees, with the possible exception of the poplar.
 The metal cables and rods quite often used according to methods of modern surgery to protect trees again wind damage and decay while serving in a minor way as con- ductors and furnishing some protec- ton against lightning, can by no means be considered as a substitute for the thorough protection possible to obtain by roddjng, a more recent development Of tree surgery.
 Rodding Of trees, especially valu- able ones. or those which involve safety Of a building or Of animals, IS advocated by the bureau Of stan dards, the weather bureau. the Na- tional Board Of Fire Underwriters and others.

ANTORG ACTS ON
 BAN ON PRODUCT
Soviet Group Protests Embargo
 Placed on Lumber

New York. July ca tPj - Officials of the Amtorg Trading Corporation were headed for Washington today to seek the lifting Of the embargo against Soviet pulpwood
 Barring of two vessels here was the first application Of the embargo imposed by the treasury department on the ground that forced labor was used in loading.
 Denies Ban Justified
 Peter 4. Eogdarov. head of Am torg, Soviet trade agency in this country, denied that there was justi- fication for embargoes on Soviet goods and warned that curtailment of imports Of Soviet products would bring with it a corresponding reduc- ton in Russian purchases here.
 The two ships denied entry were the Grelislo, q British vessel and the Christian Bors. a Norwegian ship. A fleet of A ships is en route here with Soviet pulpwood.
 Tn q statement issued in behalf Of Amtore. Bogdanov said, the state ments that Soviet imports constitute a menace to American industry is not warranted by the facts" Soviet imports, he said consist almost en- tirelv Of such products that the United States either docs not produce at all or in insufficient quantities.
 Tells of Document Plans

Scientist Explodes Theory of Circulation of Cur rents - Finds Belt of Queer Liquid 300 Feet Below Surface.

Washington, July 29 lpl-An in visible fence, barring the wander ings Of denizens Of the oceans depths, has been found stretching cast and west across the Pacific.
 A belt of oxygenIess water begin ming three hundred feet below the surface, reaching downward for a thousand feet and exceeding one hundred miles in width. was one of the most interesting finds of the non-magnetic ship Carnegie before it was destroyed by fire at Samoa last year.
 Torreson Makes Find
 The discovery has just been made public by o. ". Torreson. navigator and executive officer of the ship which cruised up and down the Pa cifc ocean in search Of scientific knowledge.
 All creatures Of the ocean need OK ygen. Torreson points out. and this curious stratum of water which does not carry that essential element must prove an effective barrier 10 living things. The scientist did not attempt an explanation of the peculiar phe- nomenon. nor did he draw ConCIu- sions as 10 its effects beyond point ing out that the fishes and other creatures in the oceans are part of mans food supply and anything that affects them is. therefore. i'm portant to us"
 As a result Of that last voyage of the scientific ship, Torreson said also, ir was necessary to scrap eN- isting ideas concerning the circula- rion of the waters Of the Pacific which had been assumed 10 be Tim- liar to the currents Of the Atlantic.
 Important In Climates
 This new Knowledge" he said twill undoubtedly be important to those who are studying the climates Of the United tSates and other coun- tNes bordering upon the Pacific"
 The principal task of the Carne- sic was the constant taking Of ob- servations on compass variations and ocean depths, Since the cruise ended the scientists who manned the ship have been studying the accumulated data and from 1T, Torreson said, dis coveries still are being made.

that" He then explained the scientific cause
Of rainfall in general
AS the water eVaporates from land and sea
and passes into the atmosphere, the tempera-
ture of the atmosphere determines the amount
of water vapor which can be held in suspension.
The higher the temperature the larger the
amount of water vapOr the atmosphere can
hold.
This warm air must be cooled to a point
where it becomes saturated with moisture before
it viii give up this vapor in the form of rain.
There Is only one effective method of cooling
air In order TO produce rainfall, and that Is for
it to travel to considerable heights. As it is
pushed up high, it expands, because in the up
per reaches of the atmosphere the pressure is
less but 1t expands at the expense of its heat.
When il becomes so cool that all its water
vapor cannot be retained, we get clouds and
rain.
but the point u.s." Mr.. Humphreys explained.
ito get the warm, vapoT-laden air up. There
are three main ways In which this Is done.
First, by having the surface air strongly heated
by the sun 50 that there is plenty of convec-
ton. Then the cumulus clouds form and rain
win fall. But this Summer the water wasn't
at the surface of the earth because there had
not been sufficient rains in the: Spring to furnish
water for any considerable amount Of water
vapor.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-14

naturally there can't be any considerable RAIN
fall. This Summer has been dry because there
was little or no rainfall in the Spring. Since
there was little rainfall in the Spring, there was
little water to be evapoTated, hence little to form
clouds and none for Summer rains.
THE water supply upon which the parts Of
the country suffering from the drought are now
dependent is, In small part, water which came
down as rain a year ago. 1t Is the reserve
supply which fell some time ago and sank deep
into the earth which is now feeding our wells,
springs streams and rivers. 1t took that water
a long time to reach the sources from which
it is coming.
1.-The supply furnished by the last rainfals
we had have been evaporated long ago. The
first rain to fall upon the parched and thirsty
earth will be Immediately soaked up by thirsty
plants, animals and people and evaporated into
the dry atmosphere. Little or none of it viii
sink deep into the earth to replenish the supply
which during the period of the drought has
been gradually called upon TO supply the fam
ishing earth.
Thereafter, for pbobably year or two there
win be less of reserve supply Of water in the
earth, less in rivers and streams to evap-
crate into clouds and, therefore, less for rain

THAT Is a superficial reason for the drought

A banker gives out the 1nfor-
nation that it is comparatively
easy for a young man to ac-
cumulate enough to protect
himself against want in his old
age if he will save $500 and
place it in a building and loan
at S per cent until he is IS years
old.
The sum would not be large
but by careful and simple living
he could exist comfortably with
enough to meet ordinary ex-
penSeS.
Sounds simple and easy,
doesn't it.
Many fathers are wondering
today how to provide for spend
thrift sons.
They cannot see how the un-
productive years are to be taken
care Of.
When these boys leave school
1t might be a good idea instead
Of giving them $500 outright,
to deposit that amount as a
trust fund not to be touched
until they are IS.
Such a fund with specific in
structionS as to when the ac-
crued interest and principal
shall be paid is a good plan.
The young person should not
know Of this fund n his favor.
