JOLSON PLANS
PICTURE in
GERMANY
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1880. Premier
Syndicate, Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. 10.
Though the German version OF
"Sons of Guns" fell through, AL
Jolson tells me he will make a
picture over there this fall.
Curtis Melnitz. head Of a Ger
man film concern, is said to have
completed arrangements with
Joseph Schenck during his re-
cent visit to Hollywood. The
story, AL says, concerns the re-
turn of a German American fam.
lily to the fatherland.
AL, who speaks German, will be
the only American star in the
cast. The director, likewise is
to be foreign. According to pres
ent plans, the picture will be
started September % in Berlin,
and will be finished in time for
Al to return to Hollywood for
Sons of Guns" The latter film
goes into production around No
Vember Is.
The Jolsons leave for Europe
in a short time now. Several
film jobs have been offered the
former Ruby Keeler. but she has
not accepted any of them. "All
She Wants." explains AL with his
broad grin, "Is for somebody to
offer her a job, and to know that
she could go to work if she
wanted to-"
Hollywood sees very little of
this couple. AL hates parties, and
runs with a small group of close
friends. He and Joseph M.
Schenck are ardent golf op-
ponents, despite the fact that AL
nearly always wins.

Her Maiden Voyage

Having seen "Moby Dick" safely
on its way at a local theater,
John Barrymore will bundle his
family on board the Infanta and
depart today on a cruise down
the Mexican coast.
This time the baby goes along.
1t will be her maiden voyage and
great care has been taken to as
sure her comfort. A built-in crib
is one of the features of the
floating nursery that this young
ster will adorn.
It seems that I was a little off
the other day about the baby's
age. Barrymore tells me she is
4 months old. "A beautiful
child" he adds originally.

70 in 1929, followed by accidental

Jews and Assyrians
a Common Plant

Bagdad, Irak.-(P-Jews and Assy-
rians, In olden times foes. today have
q grievance in common.
The British government in Pales-
tine has restricted the return of Jews
to their country, and the government
OF 1rak, under British mandate, has
barred the gates Of their old home in
northern Mesopotamia to the Assy-
rians, because it fears that some for
eign power may be promoting Assy-
rtan settlement on political grounds.
At present there are some 10000
Assyrians in Irak. Some 100000
others are scattered in adjoining
countries. In the war they fought
with the British against the Turks
and after the conflict, fled from the
Turkish into British inundated ter
rttory.
Even today they speak A-amaic
which, at the time of Christ, was a
current language throughout the
Near East. In their churches they
observe the oldest Christian rites and,
most Of them are HISTORIANS, the sect
which carried the first tidings of
Christianity to India.

Diseases Of Heart Still Lead II
Mortality Causes in State;
Cancer Is Third

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Depart
ment of Commerce announces that
there we're 5,421 deaths in North Da-
kota during 1929, as compared with
5,513 in 1928.
No death rates for 1929 have been
computed because any rates based on
population estimates made at this
time would be unreliable, and would
probably have to be materially re-
vised as soon as the 1880 census
figures become available.
The same five causes of death
ranked the highest during the four
years 1926 to 1929; in 1929 they were
in the following order: Diseases OF
the heart (796), c%ongenital malforma-
tons and diseases of early infancy
(486), cancer (457), pneumonia, all

Of Last July's Revenue

The volume of business in the
ninth federal reserve district in July
decreased sharply both from the
level of June and from the levels OF
July in other recent years. The de-
cline reflected the effect of the ex-
cessively hot weathr which has not
been equaled in recent years and
which was disastrous for the grain
crops in certain parts of the district.
The index of debts to individual ac-
counts in II cities after adjustment
for seasonal variations was 80 in
July as compared with Ill in June
and 1874 in July a year ago. The
country check %clearings index was
"a in July as compared with 107 in
June and 1875 in July last year.
A portion Of the decrease as COM
pared with a year ago was due to
the abnormally large volume of grain
moving last year. Total freight car
loadings during the four weeks end
ing July 26 were 10 per cent smaller
than a year ago.
All commodity groups showed de-
creases, except coal and coke, which
showed a Z per cent increase. De-
a as compared with a year
ago, occurred in department store
sales, electric power consumption,
number of building permits issued,
grain, cattle and hog marketings and
iron ore, flour, and linseed product
shipments. There was a small in
crease in the value of building per-
mits issued and in the number of
sheep marketed.
Farm income from cash grains,
dairy products and hogs marketed
during July was less than two-thirds
of the income from these products
marketed in July last year. The
decrease vas due to tremendous de-
clines in the volume Of grain mar
keted as we'll as lower prices. The
July potato price was higher than a
year ago, but all other farm pro-
ducts were lower. the decreases
ranging from ID per cent for milk
to 40 per cent for rye. Wheat and
rye prices again made new lows for
the post war period during July.
