Words describe with difficulty
the entertainment values in Radio
Pictures lavish musical comedy,
'Hit the Deck" will be presented at
the Oxford Theatre Tuesday Wed
nesday Thursday April 1851.
If you saw the stage version of
the Vincent Youmans musical ro-
nance, you will be doubly i'm
pressed with the immense sweep
and grandeur of the screen inter-
probation.
Actual scenes or a battleship
fleet, liberty boats filled with sail
ors, brass bands, girls and all the
atmosphere of a naval waterfront,
add realism to the story back
ground. The battleship deck where
in the Smith party is staged, is
photographed in technicolor. Hun
dreds of players participate in these
scenes.
Polly Walker, former Broadwa,
beauty, demonstrates her right to
the title. Aside from an unusual
beauty of face and form, Miss
Walker reveals genius in her songs
and dancing. AS Looloo, the coffee
shop girl, she convinces.
Opposite Miss Walker in the role
of Bilge is Jack Oakie, Hollywood's
newest sensation in the comedy
field. The part seems made for
Oakie.
Others in the cast are Margue-
rita Padula, singer, June Clyde,
Radio Picture player, in new songs
and dances, Ethel Clayton, as Mrs.
Payne, Dell Henderson, Wallace
and the inimitable three
comedians, Roger Gray, Frank
Woods, and Harry Sweet. They are
very much in evidence in the story
and hilariously funny.

Social Events

The following very interesting re-
port of Missionary Society meet
ing was inadvertently left out of
the Herald of last week:
The Women's Missionary Society
of the Congregational church was
entertained Wednesday, March 26,
at the home of Mrs. v. L. Burgess,
NTH Mrs. Cooley, Miss Wealand,
Mrs. G. L. Gray, and Mrs. ]. W..
Ward assisting. The devotions
were conducted by Mrs. N. McCul-
lom, while Mrs. v. G.. Wedge pre-
sented the special Missionary pro-
ject in India.
After a brief business meeting,
Mrs. L. A. Walker, in behalf of the
society, presented Mrs. N. McCul-
long with copy of the book: 1.-The
Christ of the Indian Road" by E.
Stanley Jones, together with a
beautiful hand painted memory
booklet made by Miss Annabelle
Emerson. This came as an express
sion from the society for the years
of splendid service rendered by
Mrs. McCullom and in view of her
contemplated departure for the
Cities. All of the guests present
signed their names to the booklet.
In honor of the special occasion,
the hostesses served an elaborate
luncheon, with a special table for
the honor guest and her most in
innate friends and fellow workers.

former soldier and his relatives were notified.
The hngerprints have almost entirely routed
that old Government swindler, the repeater"
He used to enlist at recruiting station and
ask to be sent to a remote post. He spent the
transportation money which the recruiting Of
ficer gave him, while the Army waited in vain
for his appearance. After a while he went to
another station. enlisted under different
name, received more transportation money and
again disappeared. Over and over they played
this game, but science is wise TO them now; as
a man enlistS his prints are taken;
he may change his name many times there
after, but his fngerprints remain the same.
One payday night in Western camp an
Army post exchange was robbed. Apparently the
robber had left no clues-not one Finally the
officers found good hngerprint on the tran
som above the door. The print was immediate
ly identified as belonging to a soldier at the
camp. When he was arrested he confessed
that he had climbed through the unlocked
transom and stolen the entire pay roll. Easy
enough-but for the telltale fingerprints.
The files contain another mysterious story,
stranger than fiction, over which many clerk
still ponders. An enlisted man deserted the
Army and the Government offered the usual
reward for his arrest One day man sur
rendered himself as the deSerter. The trial
was purely a matter of form because of the
mans own confession He was convicted and
sent TO Leavenworth for ID months imprison-
ment. When he arrived at the prison he was
fingerprinted and the prints sent to Washing
ton. Although man is always hngerprinted

err must also be fngerprinted.
When the experts at Washington received
the prisoners prints they shook their heads
He was not the deserter, but a man who had
been honorably discharged from the service
Confronted with this evidence the prisoner ad-
rnitted his true identity, but insisted on serv-
ing term in prison anyway. He claimed he
had an enemy at Leavenworth and he wanted
to get" him. The authorities found that the
enemy" had at one time been prisoner but
had been discharged several years before. The
whole story was full of holes, but the Govern
ment could not hold an hOnorably discharged
citizen for desertion. The freed man left prison
reluctantly-an unfinished stOTy-and 1t re-
has never been found.
Besides the records of which you have al
ready heard there are the selective draft rec
ords of "a 900 600 men who registered for serv-
ice in the late war. Think of the billions OF
words, written and printed, on those 1000 tons
of paper filed in miles and miles of file cases
stored in seven large buildings at the Army
War College. If all these file trays were ex-
tended end to end they would reach more than
10 miles Should the individual file jackets
stored on a single floor of one building be
placed fiat on the ground edge to edge they
would cover over 700 acres and the papers
within the jackets are sufficient to plaster

ValuabIe Insect Control.

DARSIMONIOUS persons who are inclined to
glance askance at the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars spent in insect control work
by experts of the Department of Agriculture
would do well to reflect on the annual loss in
plant injury, which totals about $150OOOOO Oo
This enormous loss is not unique to the United
States however, for 1t is estimated that in
Great Britain for instance, fully 10 per cent OF
all agricultural crops fall victim to various plant
enemies each year.
The loss in the wheat crop due to rust, smut,
root-rot and other diseases Is set at about
$4,000 900 bushels annually, while the corn crop
pests account for 281 O0O,O 900 bushels, and pests
claim about 95, 900 900 bushels of white potatoes
each year.
The danger of the spread of various pests is
illustrated by the case of India and Ceylon,
which once thrived on coffee raising, but the
coffee fields of which were completely wiped
cut by rust forcing the substitution of tea.

IqLy Johnson Discusses the Senator's Chance to Min the PAQnt

and, above all, his trigger brain were what
made Ty Cobb the outstanding an-found player
in the games history.
"Al Simmons. Jimmy FOxx, Hack Wilson or
Chuck Klein may develop into a second Ruth,
because every one today Is concentrating on
smuggling and home runs. But there will never
be another Cobb because base-running and fast
thinking seem to be passe"
So endeth the opinions of Sir Walter,
great pitcher and great manager. Many OF
us believe his team will not win the 1880 PEN
nant But whether he does or does not, he
surely furnished the big surprise of the FIRST
half of the current American League race.

This fellow Simmons with the Athletics
He is the most dangerous man with men on

gerous than the famous Ruth Ruth can hit
a ball farther than Simmons and will hit
more home runs in season than Simmons

There have been many better natural hit

more hits than any one in the games history,
