The story concerns two cousins. one half American (MeXican on his mothers side) and his Mexican cous- in. They are jealous about vast estate, the property of their grand father, and particularly over Mary Duncan. This intriguing beauty. in the role of Carlotta, is too much for any man 10 resist.
 Warner Baxter as the half caste cousin, wins the affections of num- Der of charmers-and, too, by the way he can sing. Antonio Moreno. playing his first ''heavy" role, as Juan. is passionately fond of Carlot- ta and proves brilliant foil for Baxter, who in our humble opinion is one of the outstanding actors Of the stage and screen.

GENERAL CRACK IS
 CAPITOL FEATURE
John Barrymore Starred in All Talking Yitaphone Sensation

Not only does the distinguishe el peer of present day stage and screen stars, John Barrymore. make his talking film debut in General Crack" the all-talking Vitaphone special at the Capitol theater today, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, but he again proves himself the genius in this tale of romantic text, but he sings from the screen as well, in this tale of romantic adventure in eighteenth century Europe. Mir. Barrymore, who is known to pos stage has an unusually fine oppor- tunity to display it in this picture which runs the scale of emotion.
 His strong characterization Tn General Crack" which Alan Cros- land directed for Warner Brothers, is that of a dual personality whose inherent charactertics take turns in dominating his loves and hates. Born to a gypsy princess and q powerful nobleman. he is one mo- ment the spirited. carefree nom1d, and the next the brilliant, fearless soldier.
 It is when the fiery Romany blood in his veins overpowers his royal self that he becomes another Don Juan.
 An excellent supporting cast sur rounds Barrymore in this swift nov ing story of royalty, fighting cam paigns and gypsy love, which .n- cludes Marian Nixon, Lowell Shcr- man. Hobart Bosworth, Armida Jacqueline Logan, Otto Matieson Philippe de Lacy, Andres de Segu- rola, Douglas Gerard, William Won Brinken, Theodore Lodi. Mex Thompson and Curt Rayfield Walter Anthony prepared the Nitaphone screen play from the George Freely novel of the same name. Screen play and dialogue arc by J. Grubb Alexander. General Crack" is partly in glowing techni- color.

 But the farmer will adjust him. self to the situation. Also he will adjust himself to cinch bugs, if corn borer, or what have you. We'll go right ahead putting in crops and praying for rain and hoping for the best. If we let a few disasters dis courage us. we would be out of business right away.

 The southern third of Iowa, which raises the most wheat in the state, sows winter wheat. That's coming up and looking fine. We'll not go out and blow it up.
 Just now I'm feeding wheat to my hens and selling the eggs at IS cents dozen. Not much money in that, but my wheat will stand just the same.
 Up in the northern part of the state where third of the wheat is spring sown, probably they'll cut the acreage. Maybe not. But it won't mako roI1o1 6jfforonpc

new RAY EYE SEES
THROUGH SHIP HULL
Washington Naval Men Make
Discovery More Powerful
Than X-Ray.
~ TIA Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 24.-Three
wise men from the East slipped new
pair of glasses onto the eyes OF Father
science today and showed the veneer
able gentleman how he could peek
through steel girders and battleship
hulls with all the ease Of a small boy
gaping through a stereoscope.
The peeking has been made possible,
the American Society for Steel Treating
was told, by the use of radium's Gamma
ray-much the same sort of ray that
gave the world radio and artificial sun
tan.
With the use of a bit of radium no
larger than a 32-caliber bullet engi-
neers can put a Photographic plate
behind the girders of your apartment
house and see that they are sound.
Workmen can take pictures of locomo-
tive wheels and determine If all is we'll
within and submarine crews can study
vital points of their craft for suspected
weaknesses.
Washington Mems Work.
The innovation is the work of Robert
r. Mehl, superintendent of the division
of physical metallurgy in the Naval
Research Laboratory, Washington, D. c.;
Gilbert z. Doan, assistant professor of
metallurgy at Lehigh University,
Bethlehem, Pa, and Charles S. Bar
rett, assistant physicist with Dr. Mehl
In the Naval Research Laboratory. The
work was done under auspices of the
Naval Research Laboratory and today's
paper was read by permission Of the
Navy.
Hitherto the X-ray has been the sole
means of such inspection for defects In
metals, and there have been three nota-
BILE disadvantages which the Gamma
ray Of radium has overcome The
X-ray, for example, with equipment
generally available, cannot penetrate
deeper than 3l2 to 4 inches within rea-
sonable time. Research experts of a
large electric company have estimated
it would cost 100000 to develop an
X-ray machine capable of penetrating
the 10 inches reached by the radium
Gamma ray.
Easily Carried About.
Another advantage of the new method
Is portability. The radium and tube
necessary could be carried in a special
small brief case for use in far-off Alaska
or remotest Africa, in contrast to the
bulky equipment needed for X-ray and
the added requirement. of a plant to de-
velop high electric current.
Finally, there is the matter of sim
plicity. The technician can group the
objects he wants to photograph and
leave word for the night Waterman to
drop the radium into the tube when he
starts work. The radium will operate
during the night and the technician
can pick up his plates in the morning
An important phase of the Gamma
light photography is its sensitivity It

The extent of the practical applica-
tion is still problematical the three
scientists pointed out, but declared that
early indications are that it will be of
great value in testing heavy castings.
Naval experts have manifest particular
interest in its possible use for testing
heavy guns and metal gun turrets.
