The Big Party' Offers
 Glimpses of New York

New York, from river to river, serves as the background for a sur prising amount of entertainment in The Big Party" which opens at the Embassy theater today.
 In it's swift and amusing progress the film takes us from cheap nickel and dime stores to ultra-u ultra mod iste's establishments. from dingy tenements to the most luxurious apartments. from 50-cent-t -ta ble d'hote cafes to glittering night clubs, while the romance of the slangy but lovable shop girl and her window trimming boy friend is carried out to everyone's complete satisfaction,
 John Blystone, the director who has given us such noteworthy pie lures as The Sky Hawk" and Mother Knows Best" has again scored with his sympathetic and human treatment of his characters and his delft telling of his story against it's kaleidoscopic settings. Dixie Lee. whose blonde beauty won her general appreciation in her portrayals with Why Leave Home?" and Let's GO Places" gives a splendid performance in this. her first leading role. Sue Carol and Walter Catlett are. splendid in the other featured parts --
 The supporting cast is perfectly chosen, headed by such favorites as Whispering Jack Smith, Frank Albertson and Richard keene, Douglas Gilmore 1lka Chase. Charles Judels, Elizabeth Patterson and Dorothy Brown also enact note worthy roles. Catlett and Judels are especially funny as the two pickering and lodging partners and Harlan Thompson's story and dialog is both clever and entertain ing. The song numbers, particularly "Biuer Than Blue Over You and I'm Climbing Up a Rainbow" are catchy and are already becoming popular.
 A sparkling comedy. Nitaphone acts, and Fox MoHetone News com plete this excellent program.

 Cause of the Trouble
 Malta. the cause Of all this trouble, is SO tiny that even the smallest state in the American Union. Rhode Island, seems big by comparison. For after all, 'Rhody' has 124S square miles ot territory, whereas Malta has only 92, and is only r miles long by eight in width. But 1t happens to be of enormous importance to Great Britain, which is why that coun- try nabbed it during the Napo- leonic wars in 1914 and has kept f ever since. It lies due south of Sicily and commands the flow of the Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunis. Furthermore. it is just about at the center in the Mediter- ranean and is, therefore. one of the greatest strategic points in that historic sea. In ordinary times for it's 225.ooo inhabitants it has all the ordinary democratic machinery iot government - an elected Legislature, with a Pre- mier and cabinet.

BATT|ST| HONORED
 BY FASCIST PARTY
Patriotic Societies Lay Wreaths
 on Martyrs Grave

Trento, Italy, July 12 (P) The patriotic societies of this former Austrian city, the Fascists and the ex-service men at their head. today repaired to the monument of Cesare Battisti. the Nathan Hale of modern Italy, and there laid wreaths to commemorate the 14th anniversary of his death.
 Cesare Battisti is reverenced as one of the foremost of the martyrs of Italia Irrendenta," or unredeem- ed Italy, of which this province of Trentino formed a part before the late war. An avowed socialist, but an Italian patriot first of all, he struggled all his life to reunite his fellow Italians under the Hapsburg yoke to their mother country.
 Mussoini His Friend
 Mussolini was one of hSs intimate friends, and a regular contributor to Battisti's newspaper, Il Popolo. of this city.
 When Italy in 1915 entered the war on the allied side, Battisti stole across the border and joined as volunteer, knowing full well the fate in store for him. as an Austrian sub- 5ect, should he be captured. A little over year after he had don- ned the uniform of the country of his heart, he was taken prisoner.
 Austrian military justice was swift and unbending. On July 12. 1916, he was hanged as a traitor in the castle of Buon Consiglio.
 Similar exercises in honor of the soldier-martyr were held throughout the kingdom in the course of the day. There is hardly city of any size that has no street re-baptized in honor of the Trentino patriot, and many of them have votive stones in their cemeteries or public squares recalling his sacrifice.
 Black Shirts Claim Him
 Although he met his end over three years before the founding of Fascism, the black shirts of today claim Cesare Battisti as one of their own, as a precursor of their move ment. In many localities they commemorated him with the stern Fascist rite. an officer of the mili- tia calling out his name. the assem- hled party members shouting pres ent!'' in reply.

Example Hand No. 2

Spades 9

No score, rubber game. Z dealt and
bid one heart. This is an ordinary
average hand so z had no idea of any
great success with it but just watch
how it develops. A passed and Y bid
one spade. bid two clubs and Z bid
two no trumps. A passed and Y bid
three hearts. All passed and A opened
the four of spades.
Z won this trick in US hand with the
ace and led the four of clubs. B won
this trick with the ace of clubs and led
back the trey of hearts. Z let this run
up to VS. hand and won the trick with
the seven of hearts. Three tricks have
now been played. How should Z play
the balance so that he will score a small
slam against any defense2 Think this
over before you read the following:
Solution: At trick four, Z should lead
the deuce of spades from US hand and
trump in his own hand with the eight of
hearts. At tricks five and six, Z should
lead the king and queen of clubs and
discard the six and seven OF diamonds
from VS. hand. At trick seven Z should
lead low diamond from his hand and
win the trick in US hand with the ace.

Significance of Linked
SIS in Mayoralty Chain

The golden chain made of linked
SIS has been used by London's chief,
magistrate for nearly 400 years. The
existing chain was bequeathed to the
mayoralty in 1915 by Sir John Aleyn,
who had himself been lord mayor 20
years earlier, and was worn for the
first time by Sir William LaXton in
1916. Sir John Aleyn's bequest took
its curious form by reason Of the
popularity of the rs" design in Tudor
times, when, together with the Tudor
rose, it was the cognizance of the
royal house. But long before that the
IS" was religious symbol, at a time
when the universal piety caused every
piece of jewelry to convey some heav-
emily significance. 1t is the initial let
ter Of Sanctus, or holy, which starts
the hymn, "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sane
tus," .chanted by the priest in celebrat-
ing mass. From this the IS" came to
be regarded as an emblem of the
Savior.

At trick eight, he should lead the nine
of diamonds from VS. hand and win the
trick in his own hand with the king. At
trick nine he should lead the ten of
diamonds and trump in VS. hand with
the jack of hearts.
At trick ten should lead the six of
spades from VS. hand and trump in his
own hand with the nine of hearts. On
this lead of spades, B should discard
club. He cannot trump or he will surely
lose his king of hearts and SO make the
small slam easy for Z. At trick eleven,
I should lead the losing club from his
hand and trump in VS. hand with the
queen of hearts. At trick twelve, B has
left the king six of hearts and Z has the
ace ten. / must win the last two tricks.
Played in this way, and A B have
no defense, Y Z must make a small
slam. In other words, rs ordinary,
average hand turned out to be won
derful hand, due to good break of
luck and skillful play. Never despair
of bad hand or exult over good one,
for YOU never can tell until the cards
are played out what the result will be.

Ancient Road Builders

The ancient Romans were great road
builders and were most active between
the second and fourth centuries after
Christ. These roads were universally
straight and varied in width from eight
to fifteen feet, going over hill and val
ley in spite of grades. Soldiers,
slaves and criminals were employed
in the construction Of these highways,
the durability of which is shown by
the fact that, in some cases, they have
sustained the traffic for 1000 years
without material injury. The Roman
forum is said to have been the point
Of conveyance of "a roads, which,
with branches, had a total length of
52,904 Roman miles. The Romans are

Electricity to Induce Fever

Electricity has been used success
fully in inducing an artificial fever in
some patients suffering from ills
which are combated by fever, notably
paresis, says Popular Mechanics Mag

certain diseases is based on the the
ory that fever is one of the major de-
fensive measures of the body against
invading organisms. Previously ma
laria had been used to produce fever,
but doctors recently have raised tenn
peratures by using an electric current
from a diathermy machine which was
found to give better control of the de-
gree and duration of the fever.

of FIVE clubs Indicated that the top
clubs we're against him and that bid
of six hearts couldn't be made; but, on
the other hand, it looked as if A B
could make FIVE spades. For that reason
z decided to bid six hearts, not with
any idea of making it, but solely as a
justifable overbid to save game and
rubber. A doubled and all passed.
In the play, A B must win three club
and one diamond tricks, SO that Y z
lose their contract by three tricks, less
100 honors, or a net loss of 200 points.
That it was good sacrifice is apparent
for Y Z easily could have made five
spades. Z, however, was very downcast
for his apparently unbeatable hand
had cost him 200 points.
