district, held meeting In Luray
last night. devising means to cir.
cumvent the position that CARRIER
has been placed in by not getting
his name printed on the official
ballots for the November election.
According to Peter Saunders,
secretary of the Commonwealth,
CARRIER did not notify him in time
that he was candidate for Con
gress to have his name printed on
the ballot.
CARRIER claims that he did com
ply with the law and that his
name was certified to Saunders in
ample time. Judge Julien Gum,
sitting in the District Court at
Richmond, to whom CARRIER ap-
pealed for a ruling in the case, de

TO CHANGE NAME

Patrons of the Dover Opera House
will be interested and doubtless
much pleased to learn that the man
agement plans to change the name
of the theatre to one which is more
indicative of this lively and progress
sive show place. For some time
there has been sentiment in this di-
rection, as the present name is ra-
ther cumbersome and does not real
Iy twpify the modern, up-to-the-mln-
ute theatre which it has become.
Since the theatre is such a vital
part of the like of the community
the management desires to have the
cooperation Of the public in select
ing the new name and for that pur-
pose a contest will be conducted IN
the immediate future, with a prize
to the person whose suggestion is
adopted. It is expected that a large
number of persons will want to take
part in this new project. If you have
a suggestion, be sure to enter the
contest so that no good names will
be overlooked. Details Of the con-
test will be announced next week.

Birds Reduce Numbers
Of Chestnut Weevils

In the experimental chestnut or
chard of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at Bell, Md, an
effort to increase the number of
birds as enemies of nut weevils has
been carried on since 1926 by the
Bureau of Biological Survey and the
Bureau of Plant Industry. By pro-
viding numerous bird houses the
population of birds has been in
creased steadily.
Expressed in te ms of the number
of broods to the acre, the bird pop
ulation has risen as follows: In 1926
6.S broods to the acre; 1927, 10
broods; 1928, 1876 broods; 1929, 25.4
broods. As these are in addition to
broods produced by birds nesting in
trees and shrubbery, the area invol-
we'd now carries a dense bird popu-
lation.
Practically all the common insec-
tivorous birds of the eastern part OF
the United States feed upon chest
nut weeYils when opportunity af-
fords. Consequently the birds that
have been attracted to the expert
mental chestnut orchard are certain
to feed upon these pests. The fact,
however, has been directly verified
in finding remains of the weevils in
food residues collected from the
bird boxes.
That the feeding activities Of these
birds are having an effect in con-
trolling the numbers of nut WeeVlls
is probable from counts made by +.
E. Brooks, of the Bureau of Ento-
mology, to reveal the severity of in
festation in the Bell orchard as com
pared with that in an orchard near
Fairfax, Va, where no effort mas
been made to increase the number
of birds. At Bell, where 100 per cent
infestation formerly was the rule,
some of the nuts now seem to be es-
caping damage, and the average in
festation at the time the count was
made was "a weevil larvie to the
nut; at the Fairfax station the num-
her was 14.7 larvae to the nut. 1t
has been apparent from ordinary OBJ
servation at Bell that the number OF
weevils seen on the chestnut burs
during the egg-laying season mas
been much less than was the case a
few years ago before the number OF
birds had been increased.
These experiments will be con-
tinued in the hope of obtaining more
definite results, but the Biological
Survey says that there seems to De
little doubt that the increase in the
number of birds has been accom-
panied by a decrease in the abund-
ance of weevils.

POPULAR THREE TO BE
HEARD IN SCREEN CLASSIC

Three of Paramount'S most active
and most powerful actors will be
seen and heard in "The Virginian," E"
aIl-talking classic at the Dover OPP
era House the first half Of next
week. with a special matinee Tues
day at 8 p. m. They are Gary Coop
er. Richard Arlen and Mary Brian.
Each has had phenomenal success
in the new medium of talking pic
lures and each is great favorite.
Cooper plays the role of the Vir-
ginian. Arlen is Steve and Miss Brt-
an is cast as Molly Wood, the school
teacher with whom the Virginian
falls in love. Walter Huston, veter-
an of the Broadway stage, and a
great movie favorite since his out
standing appearances in Gentlemen
of the Press" and "The Lady Lies,
will be heard in the featured role OF
Trampas, the ring-leader Of the cat
tie rustlers in the play.
"The Virginian," a novel by Owen
Wister, was first published in the
SOS, and it was acclaimed at that
time as the great American novel.
Many American leaders In literary
circles maintain that it is still the
greatest American novel ever writ
ten. It was rewritten for the stage
by Wister and Kirk La Shelle and
as a play it earned widespread re-
nown, bringing immortal fame TO a
number of actors who played lts
title role to packed houses all over
the country. ,
The talking picture brings "The
Virginian' to the public in a new
and more engaging medium-a med
ium that gives this romantic theme
a fuller scope and much more
realistic treatment. All the authentic
sounds of the cattle range, the dia-
log of the principals; the third d.
mension, one might say, is brought
to the screen in this New Show
World production.

CASE
UP JULY Z
Science Service Photo
DIR. A. H. COMPTON

Justice Frederick L. Siddons
this afternoon issued a rule
against Frank Owings, former
vice president Of the Bank of
Commerce and Savings, and Fred
w. Jones, $500 block Beecher st.
N. W., ordering them to show
cause on July 2 why they should
not be adjudged in contempt Of
court.
The rule is an outgrowth Of
civil suit which resulted in a
disagreed jury last week. Jones,
a member of the jury, is accused
of having entered in conversation
with Owens during the trial OF
the case. The bank, Of which
OWNS was an officer, was a
defendant in the suit.
According to affidavits attached
to the petition for the rule, the
suit was filed by Charles D. Ken
A1CJ1 VI dAA1AS eLO CA4C washing VOAA
Electric Company, to recover
from the bank 1,400 for checks
which the bank is alleged to have
honored on the Endorsement Of
an employe of the plaintiff firm,
who had no authority to indorse
checks belonging to the firm.
The conversation between
Owings and Jones is said to have
had something to do with the
responsibility of the bank for the
repayment of the amount sued
for and Jones is said to have
been the juror holding out while
the other IL jurors were voting
for a verdict for the plaintiff.
Attorneys Francis w. Hill and
F. B.. Hoffman represented the
plaintiff in the suit and pre-
sented the petition for the rule
to the court today.

u S. Marriage Just Joke,
Saws French Writer

PARIS, June 26 Q.N.SJ.-Mar-
riage in America today is nothing
but a light operetta, according
to the well-known French writer,
Maurice Dekobra. Says he:
Zone might call it a little
ceremony which Is proposed
during the hOrs d'Oeuvres and
finished up after the coffee,
and all taking place in less
time than for one to say Jack
Sprat.' 1t is a ceremony which
takes fewer papers and formali-
ties than to obtain a license to
sell fresh vegetables for any
French market-wOman."
The Frenchman believes that
getting married in the United
States is decidedly too fast and
furious a business, leaving many
regrets after the ceremony which
is too soon followed by divorce.
But he also finds that all is
not perfect in this matter in his
own country and is earnestly ad-

This examination, he believes
should be passed in the case Of the
women by:

for the men by:

2. An alienist.
In this manner, the future hus-
band will know if his wife can

by any chance she might possess
some annoying little tendencies
toward perversity which are like

BY M. L. RAMSAY

Stripping off one of the wells
of secrecy shrouding the Power

mighty Electric Bond and Share
Company is controlled by General
Electric interests.
Electric Bond and Share systems
