THE TRAINED EYE

 There was a lot Of talk aboj t Charlie ThNwing's wife.
 There was sbout Caesars wife, for that matter
 But in the quiet little suburbs of pretty single homes and wide lawns, people see what is going on-some or it-and guess more or less accu9- ately at the rest.
 There was talk that Isobel Thy wing was seeing too much of Ba.t l.eecher. Bert used 10 be cral% oHer Isobel before she turned hi1n down for the more reliable an worthy Charlie Thywing.
 The Thywin~s had q pretty lirUe cottage al the bend on Ced'0 Boulevard. Quite often, after Charlie had driven off 10 his ely office, Bert Leecher was seen 70 drive up and chat with Isobcl. Nov and then he would go inside for some little time.
 That. was the sum and substance O. the cause for gossip.
 Charlie must have heard some o' this gossip. Once shritl-yoical Mabel Caldon had been ''shushcd" ir the midst of gossip about Isob,l and Bert when Charlie was dis covered on g bench just the other side of the golf club hedge,
 But whatever Charlie thought he kept 10 himself, not even mention- ing it to Isobol
 On this particular Sunday aC- tcrnoon Charlie drove in from the links around five in the afternoon. Workmcn were widening Cedar Boulevard at the bend, and Oliver Prescott, of the local police, was on duty guiding the suburban cars over the short one-car-w width spot where the work was going on.

TALKING FILMS SCORE
VICTORY IN GERMANY
STEADY Increase in Production and
= Drop in Silent Movies Shown
= in March.
|. BY the Associated Press.

=. BERLIN. The talkie's smashing vic
tory in Germany over the silent film is
-shown by the March report of the Ber-
.lin Chamber of Commerce. A steady in
~crease in the production of tone films
almost in inverse proportion to the
4diminution of silent film productions
was recorded.
1t is pointed out that the stupendous
Disqualification of the talkie is all the
smore surprising in view of the COM
-paratively limited number of movie
houses in this country with installations
R3or tone films
This popularization Of the talkie has
salready led to very noticeable dearth
~of silent f1lrns of quality and therefore
obliged an ever increasing number of
cinema owners to adapt their tneaters
70 the new order of things.
= At present there are 461 talkie cine
mas in Germany, which number, how
sever. Is expected to be increased to be-
-yond 900 by Fall. German cinema
owners sent commission to London
and Paris to propose an agreement with
~other European centers for raising the
admission fee to talkie performances.

BURNING COAL MINE

New Process Expected to Utilize

GAINESVILLE, Ohio R.-Gaseous
vapors from a half-century-old coal
mine fire in Perry County are to be
compounded to serve mankind.
1t is expected that a new manufac-

gas to produce refined gasoline and

gas from the smoldering interior of the
old shaft.
The mine fire started in the 8Os and
is popularity believed to have been in
cendiary. At intervals the blaze leaps
above the surface. Through crevasses
caused by the fire gas and smoke
emerge.

LONDON (P.-The nationalist move

FRANCE RECRUITS
PORTUGUESE LABOR
Home Farms Suffer as Male
Population of Entire
Villages Desert.
BY GEORGE HALADJIAN.
BY the Associated Press.

CASTILLO BRANCO, Portugal. -
France is combing this country for ag-
ricultural labor so closely that Portu-
guese farming is itself facing a short
age Of workers.
With the approval of the ministry of
labor in Paris, 1t is asserted, emissaries
of employers organizations are arriving
here with instructions to sign on as
many workmen as they can recruit
From the province Of Beira, Portugal's
corn belt, French agriculture, it is
stated, hopes to draw whole battalions
of laborerS.
Spring sowing time is here and the
insuficiency of farm hands is acutely
felt. Whole villages have been deserted
by their male population and agricul-
tural work Is delayed. The French
drain is adversely affecting the wheat
campaign" inaugurated last year in a
supreme attempt to grow all the ma
tons bread at home.
Duty Raised 50 Per Cent.
The government left no stone I'M
turned to make Of the campaign a COM
plete success. The duty on foreign
wheat was raised so per cent; the state
supplied farmers with American motor
tractors, with seeds and fertilizer; banks
offered low-rate loans.
Despite all these facilities, the pres
ent price of home grown grain does not
pay penny of profit to the producers.
An official of the Board of Agriculture
said it was cheaper to buy foreign wheat
than to grow the grain at home.
High Wages Are Offered.
The bait held out by French employ
ers consists Of high wages, good work
ing conditions and free tickets home
when the engagement expires. These
form an attraction far greater than
the months of unremunerative toll re-
quired to work the home farms.
The authorities have tried to put all
sorts Of obstacles In the way of the
emigration tide, but have been unable
to arrest the ebb. Thousands of peas
ants continue to cross the border into
Spain, where no passport formalities
are required. Ostensibly they are bound
for seasonal work at Huelva, but in
reality they are heading for labor boats
bound for French ports.

they were not truly married in the first

English courts have held, for exam

Moscow, got the separation all right,
