What is reported to be Joan Craw- ford's most pretentious talking pic ture to date will be seen Sunday at the Strand theater when Metro Goldwyn- Mayer presents Our Flushing Brides an extremely modern drama adapted from an or iginal story by Bess Meredyth and Edwin Justus Mayer.
 Harry Beaumont who produced "Our Dancing Daughters, the pie ture which resulted in stardom for Miss ,Crayford, directed the new film, and Anita Page and Dorothy Sebastian ~~who played featured parts in the former silent picture hit. will again be seen in leading role. An imposing supporting cast includes such popular players as Robert Montgomery, Raymond Hackett. John Milan, Hedda Hop per, Albert Cont, Edward Brophy, Robert Emmett O'Connor. Martha Sleeper. Mary Doran, Gwen Lee and Catherine Moylan.
 The story concerns the respective romances of three girls who work } the same department store and , vho share living quarters. Fed up Is .ith the humdrum and depressing f xstence of alarm clocks and canned , food two of the roommates throw all caution to the winds, and when two wealthy and impetuous admirers offer them the opportunity for a more luxurious life, they accept, one with the sanction of a wedding ring and the other with a promise of a marriage The third, how ever. sticks to her standards, and as events turn out, her foresight proved only too accurate, the first two al dances resulting in disaster.

Government Authorities Expect Trade Revival in Near Future

Washington, Sept. 20 (UP)-Gov- ernment financial authorities believ- ed business recession had about reached it's low level and that no further declines may be expected. Hopeful signs looking to trade re- vival have been discerned by federal reserve board experts. who are now preparing a report on the business situation.
 In its monthly report published yesterday the federal reserve board emphasized the continued ease in the money market although it noted a seasonal increase in August of about S6O,O00,O00 in currency in circulation. Even with this rise, money in ciculation was S3O0,O00.- 900 under the August average for the past seven years
 It was learned the reserve board monthly business survey will com ment favorably on some increase in certain business indicators as com pared with earlier months this year.

STUDENT NURSE
 BATTLING DEATH
Drinker ReSpirator May Save Patients Life, Doctors Believe

Chicago, Sept. 20 UP) - Miss Frances McGann, 25, a student nurse who is suffering from infan- tile paralysis, has been kept alive at St. Luke's hospital for six days and nights by a 'drinker respirator," one of the most recent discoveries of science, it was revealed yesterday at the hospital.
 The "drinker respirator," only two of which are in use in the west, is the only thing that prevented Miss McGann from dying several days ago, physicians said. They be- lieve she now has fair chance of recovery.
 Miss McGann was placed in the aluminium, glass paneled cabinet when her chest muscles became paralyzed, preventing natural breathing.
 It was the first test made here of the contrivance, which is the same as one used in San Francisco a few weeks ago when a girl died because the only respirator there was occu- pied by a young man, whose life was saved.

Farm Board Committee Submits
 Report On Imported Crops

Washington, Sept. 20 (UP)-An- other controversial storm was gath ering around the American family's sugar bowl yesterday as the federal farm board contemplated the report of it's newly constituted beet and sugar cane advisory committee.
 The committee was created this week with representatives of pro- ducers and manufacturers. Its re- port asked for a higher tariff or abolition of the preferential obtain ing on Cuban sugar, described Philippine sugar and other products as an ever-inCreasing menace to American producers and challenged shipment of foreign sugar on gov ernment owned lines as unfair practice"
 Charles M. Kearney, Morrill,, Neb., a director of the Non-Stock Co., operative Beet Growers Association O. Nebraska is chairman of the committee, which was formed at the farm boards invitation He and six other committeeman signed the report, which has been filed for consideration by the board.
 The committee report asked the farm boards moral support for it's effort to obtain a higher tariff or abolition of the Cuban preferential Approximately 50 per cent of sugar consumed in the United States is from Cuba. There. the report said, it is produced under tropical wage standards and sent 10 the United States at ruinous prices.
 Conceding existence of wasteful practices in the domestic industry, the committee asked assistance in creating a clearing house association to impove distribution and market ing methods.

TRAPPER ASSAULTS
 WORKING SURVEYOR
Thought Man Was SnappinS His
 Photo As GangSter

Chicago, Sept. 20 UP)-Chris Longhini. trapper and woodsman from Gogebic county, Michigan, has learned the difference between camera and a theodolite, but it was an expensive lesson.
 Chris, who is 24, came here re- gently to work in a factory, and learn city ways.
 The. woodsman selected the news papers as his textbooks. Many of the pictures he saw were of gang sters. Always. he noticed, they had their faces covered. He concluded there was some sort of a game be- tween the photographers and the gangsters and that the gangsters were it.
 Walking along Michigan avenue yesterday, Chris suddenly found himself face to face with an odd looking thing on a tripod. It look cd to him like a fancy camera. Behind the tripod was a man, way ing his arms.
 Chris grasped the situation quick ly. The man was a photographer and he, Chris thought. an honest trapper, was being mistaken for a gangster he concluded.
 With a below of rage, the woods man charged, knocked over the photographer" picked up the camera" and smashed it to bits against a hydrant.
 Convinced in court that the "camera" was a theodolite and the photographer" a surveyor, Chris paid for the instrument. It cost him $400.

RAILROAD HAS BUT
 ONE HANDCAR LEFT
Theft Of Copper Wire Furnishes
 Problem for Owners

Aurora, H., Sept. 20 CUP)-The actual rolling stock" of the Fox and Illinois railroad consisted yester- day of one hand car.
 The entire railway system, except the hand car, was tied up by a thief who stole five miles of it's copper wire, values at about $5,000.
 The cooperative farm organization which owns the railroad had its choice of awaiting the return of the wire or replacing it and the latter move was not favored because the road never has operated at a profit. One year it's total receipts amounted to S9.75.
 There was one other solution offer ed however, and it was thought it might be used. This was to sell the rest of the power wire and use the money to buy a gasoline engine.
 The little railroad runs in Kendall and Grundy counties and is used by farmers in transporting grain to d main line.

NEW SUPERP0WER
 MADE FROM ATOM
Scientists Told Of Recent Dis
 CoVery At California U.

Berkeley, Cal, Sept. 20 P)--A new kind of atomic superpower plant was reported to the National Acad- emy of Sciences yesterday.
 It proposes to speed up atomic hydrogen particles to about 37,00O miles a second so they can be used as bullets to Lombard and possibly break the atoms of other elements. Breaking atoms is one long sought route to transmutation, and also 10 unlocking the power of the atom, which means to find out whether breaking up atoms will release lot of power that can be set to work running machinery.
 The apparatus is a University of California product, still incomplete, but reported because of it's great velopment by Dr. Ernest B. Law renee associate professor of physics, and N. E. Edlefsen.
 The device is an excursion by a new route into the long sought atomic power field. Other methods have required expensive, heavy equipment and high power. Dr. Law rences machine could be set on a chair and used with little power.
 Shoot From Tube
 It combines an alternating current of electricity and magnetism to set the nuclei, or central masses, of hy- drogen atoms to whirling in widen ing circles at constantly increased speed until finally they are shot out of the tube like a particle licked from the tip of cracking whip. Their speed is equivalent to the en- ergy produced by a one million volt N-ray tube, which is far greater than any ray power yet available.
 The significance of the 37,000 mile speed may be understood in compar- ison with the rays" of radium, part of which are atomic particles travel ing about 12,000 miles a second. Scientists have shot these radium particles into cases and knocked out small pieces of atoms, but they lacked enough speed to break up entire atoms to any extent.
 What speeds of atomic bullets are needed to break up atoms and put to practical test the transmutation and power production theories are not known, but Dr. Lawrence said, "at the speeds predicted we are getting into regions where interesting things are likely to happen"
 The principle of identity, a new scientific mode of study to solve some of the paradoXes of modern physics was explained by Dr. Gil- bert N. Lewis ofthe University of California, world famous as a leader of scientific thought
 It promises information about the nuclei of atoms. In recent years scientists have learned atoms are composed of electrons surrounding a central mass This mass is the sis.

WeisSS OF Experience
Surely With Solomon,

When William Jennings Bryan but
tonholed John Baird, to talk to him
about marrying his daughter, Mary
Elizabeth, In his dilemma, the young
man sought refuge in the Scriptures,
and began:
''Mr. Baird, I have been reading
Proverbs good deal lately, and find
that Solomon says, "Whoso flndeth
wife, f1ndeth a good thing and obtain
eth favor Of the Lord"
Mr.. Baird, ing something Of a
Biblical schola, imself, replied:
Eyes, I belt Solomon did say
that, but Paul 81 yests that while he
that marrieth doe. well, he that mar
rieth not doeth better"
This was disheartening, chuckled
Mrs. Bryan, recalling the interview
it is reported in M. r. Werner's BIZ
ography Of her distinguished husband
but the young man saw his way
through.
Solomon would be the better au-
thority upon this point" rejoined Mr..
Bryan, because Paul was never mar
ried, while Solomon had a number Of
wives"
After this friendly tilt the matter
was satisfactorily arranged.-Kansas

Snake Held Sacred by
Hopi Tribe Of Indians

Snakes would lead a care-free exist
ence on the Hopi Indian reservation
in Arizona If it were not for the
white folks. The Indians would not
think Of harming q reptile. They are
not snake worshipers, but each year
during the month Of August they hold
snake dance, in which real, live
creatures are used, rattlesnakeS and
any other type taking part. This is
q very religious observance, thanks
giving for past favors and a supplica-
ton for moisture for their crops.
One gets better understanding Of
the devoutness of this prayer when we
consider that the Hopis live in very
arid section Of the country and depend
so wholly upon their crops. The
water is supposed to be stored in
vast reservoirs in the heavens above
and beneath the earth and the snakes
are chosen as the best intermediary
between the Hopi supplicants and the
gods who control the waters.
One does not wonder so much at the
faith Of the Hopis in prayers being
answered when very often in the prog
ress Of the dance showers come up.
Many times the spectators get good
drenching before they can get down
off the mesa or even descend from the
roofs Of the houses from which they
have witnessed the ceremony.-Louise
r. Marshall in Dumb Animals.
