refer to the annual rewards Of merit
given by the Academy Of Motion Pic
ture Arts and Sciences.
Norma Shearer won the prize for the
best performance by an actress, due to
he work in THE Divorce"
George Arlis' acting in "Disraelr'
got him the award for the best per-
Torrance by an actor.
Other awards were given to:
Lewis Milestone, for directing "All
Quiet on the Western Front"
Frances Marion, for writing THE Big
House"
Herman Rose, for his art direction
in THE King of Jazz"
The outstanding production Of the
year was "An Quiet on the Western
Front"
For the sound recording achievement
OF the year an award was given to
Metro-G oldwyn-M Mayer studio for its re-
eording Of THE Big House"
The cinematographic achievement was
won by William Van Der Veer and
with Byrd at the South Pole"
And now the arguments are on as to
how this one and that one would have
done 1t.
Strange to say, there is only one
point being disputed to any extent \
the results of the academy's voting. A
great many people consider the best
performance Of an actress to be that Of
Marie Dressler in Anna Christie"
As to the other things voted on, most
Of the village gossips are agreed
The studios best entitled to wear q
broad grin today are Universal and
Metro oldwyn- Mayer, each having won
three prizes.
Gloria SwanSon's next picture will be
the play 'Rockabye." BY the time this
reaches the screen there may be several
changes in title, to say nothing Of q
new plot or two.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-11-07

However, the reason that the work
on the picture is being delayed now Is
the fact that Tay Garrett, the director,
cannot flnd leading man to suit him.
He complains that there are only six or
seven good leading men in Hollywood,
and they are busy all the time.
After this announcement Hollywood
Is agog to see who will get the role. So
far the only other member of the cast
chosen is Laura Hope Crews, who found
the play for Miss Swanson.
Stuart Erwin is fast becoming one Of
wood. His work in Maurice Chevalier's
"Playboy of Paris" was excellent, and
now he Is seen in Charles Buddy
Rogers new picture.
This is an adaptation of Maurice
Bsdels novel, "Molinoff," which gives
you Charles Rogers as q young Ameri-
can millionaire temporarily out of funds
who Is forced to take position as q
cook.

Comes Along" AS q matter of fact,
Charles Rogers comes along, sees Fran

and so completely steals the picture
from the two of them that you don't

ficers of the Minnesota Farm Bur-
eau Federation.
In recent weeks considerable
comment has been made by rural
merchants on the necessity for a
good farm-to-market road system
in Minnesota. J. S. Jones, secre'
tary-treasurer of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation, in an
address last winter in Chicago at
tracted much attention to this SUBJ
ject and won Widespread endorse
ment of the better rural road sys-
tenn.

ta's road builders in lifting the
weight of the mud tax" from the
back of rural Minnesota, Mr.
Jones asserts. It is estimated that
Minnesota has 10000 miles of road
of which only $4,000 miles have
garveled or better construction
These 1900 miles of dirt roads
are, needless to- say, farm roads
Each mile imposes heavy tax on
ly on the farmer but on all persons
who expect patronage from ths
farmer or who depend on the pro
duce from his farm to supply theil
counters.
While the Minnesota Farm Bur
eau was working for better rura
roads for Minnesota, the American
Farm Bureau carried on a nationa,
campaign for larger federal high
way appropriations. It's efforts
were crowned with success, as is
seen in the recent passage by the
senate of the Dowell-Phipps bill
which increases federal aid fol
roads from $75,OOO,OOO to $125,0OO,'
900 a year for the next three years
This will increase Minnesota's fed,
eral aid fund of 100000 by about
81 100000 annually.

"The comments of Darius about
himself, on the mountain at Ben
istun, overlooking the ancient road
from Baghdad to Ecbatana Hama-
dam, have acquired an Importance
quite out of proportion to their
text. For two centuries the Behist-
un inscriptions proved mystery
that challenged scholars. Steps
leading to the translation Of the
writings make one of the best
mystery stories of archaeology.
Final success in reading the cunei-
form sentences gave the key to the
whole literature of Babylonia. What
the Rosetta stone did to reveal the
enigma of Egyptian hieroglyphics,
the Darius inscription did for cunei-
form writing.
"Cuneiform writing is short
hand style made up of arrow
shaped marks. Copies of the my
sterious Behistun broadside' were
brough to Europe by Pietro della
Vale, 300 years ago. Generations
of scholars puzzled over pages of
impressions not unlike hen tracks.
One man deciphered eleven signs,
another added knowledge of seven
more. Still there were not enough
until Rawlinson, an English army
officer, working independently,
went to Behistun on leave. He
copied much of the text, working
on a ledge 10 inches wide. A mis-
step would have sent him rolling
down the 500-foot precipice.
"Rawlinson, laboring alone, SOL
we'd the great cuneiform puzzle

81 am Darius, the great king, the
king of kings, the king of Persia,
the king of the provinces, the son
of Hytaspes, the grandson of
Arsames, the Achaemenian,' and so
on, at considerable length.
much of Darius message is
devoted to the putting down of re-
volts in various provinces. Nine re-
volt leaders are carved in the rock
above the legend, with ropes around
their necks. The entire text is a
gargantuan boast of a primitive
tyrant whose human weaknesses
peep out only once or twice.
There is also much else,' pro-
claims Darius with sudden modesty,
that hath been done by me which
is not craven in this inscription;
on this account it hath not been
inscribed lest he who shall read
this inscription hereafter should
then hold that which hath been
done by me to be too much and
should not believe it, but should
take it to be lies
"Rawlinson and the scholars
who pegged away at the cipher
were on no thankless job. Darius
memorialized them, too. Near the
end of the text they found: Thus
saith Darius, the King: eff thou
shalt not conceal this edict, but
shall publish it to the world, then
may Aura Mazda (sun god) be thy
friend, may thy house be numer.
GUS, and mayest thou myself be
longlived"."

That the Minnesota highway de-
partment realizes the futility of
trying to carry on normal traffic
during the spring season is shown
in a recent request that farmers
do their heavy hauling while the
frost is still in the ground, or to
wait until the spring breakup is
over. The department points out
that every spring, even with the
most favorable weather conditions,
some of the unpaved highways are
either out of commission part of
the time or they are in such condi-
ton that load restrictions must be
posted.
