Of numbering his wife.
Decision TO permit Prof Kane's

BOARD HEARS
new PLAN ON
WHEAT USAGE

WASHINGTON. Sept. ls.-R-
Samuel r. McKelvie. former farm
board member and n time gov
ernor OF Nebraska, today brought
to the board his plan to make
sterilization wheat available TO
the needy through community
chests.
He has discussed the proposal
with the heads OF several RELIEF
agencies here this week.
Legislation Necessary
McKelvie estimates that 10000
600 bushels would be sufficient
TO feed the unemployed and poor.
Congressional action would be
necessary TO reimburse the board
for this amount from the ap-
proximately 1so.ooo,ooo bushels II
controls.
Two members OF the board.
Chmn. Stone and Carl williams,
favor the suggestion. Stone said
the question has been discussed
already In an informal way ana
williams suggested that commun-
ity chests buy direct from the
board with local funds.
McKelvie said he had approach
ed no member Of congress to in
troduce the necessary legislation
In the next congress. but express
ed himself as confident that the
proper bill would be offered.
Il am sure" he said. that such
action cannot be construed as q
dole and I am sure there will be
no opposition In that respect. A
few loaves Of bread will never
tend to make any American any
less energetic
Plan Favored
Il believe 10000, 900 bushels will
be entirely adequate. The average
per capital consumption is about
four bushels. The feeding period
will extend only through the severe
winter months, not more than six
months. And besides not all Of the
unemployed will take advantage
of it,"
Local communities probably
would be asked to process IL for
baking into bread. with the COM
munity chests supervising the ar
rangements and distribution.
McKelvie said he had received
nothing but favorable expressions
since he suggested the plan a
month ago. Told at first that
farmers would oppose It on the
grounds that they would lose a
market for that amount of wheat,
he said mot a single farmer spoke
against IT,"

mind to hold back immature citrus
fruits and raise the general quality
OF the fruit that does go TO market,
according to shippers here who
mentioned this rs an added reason
for extra precaution in this sec
ton.
There Is every indication that
this year will see a lot of low grade
Florida fruit converted into by
products which in past years has
been marketed.
With the probabilities that the
coming crop will run only rs per
cent OF last years or about rs. 000,-
600 boxes. the growers and packers
have decided to build up quality
goods. The department of agricul-
ture has joined in the crusade for
quality instead OF quantity in an
official proclamation which reads,
Citrus growers will receive a great
er profit from smaller crops of
high grade fruit than from larger
crops OF low grade fruit. The only
way they can limit the output is
by shipping only first-grade fruit,
eliminating that part Of the crop
that lowers the price.

taken in the enforcement Of the

Carl Laemmle has recognized the

Liberty Productions feature, Mothers

given at the Rialto Theater yesterday.
The record Of May Robson as actress

of the SIS years of the life OF this IA
NOUS actress were spent in the theater,
not only in the fine theaters OF the
country, but in the barns that mas
oueraded as theaters in the hlnterland
of the fast-fading one-nighters and
among dramatic stock companies east
and west.
No one has ever doubted or queS-
toned the reputation of May Robson as
a player of parts. Two generations OF
experience have given her the right
to be called q star" Yet 1T took
months of heart-breaking effort for
MAY Robson to get her chance in the
talkies. No one would listen, no one
had faith in the ability of AN old

NDyke when he filmed the opening
scenes Of Trader Horn" in British East
Africa.
This Metro oldwyn-Mayer drama,
based on the famous book Of adven-

great procession Of natives bearing
ivory to a barge. Being thousands of
miles away from Hollywood's central
casting Office, the director naturally
had to choose his extras by other
means.
So when Mr.. Van Dyke arrived at
Panyamur, Uganda Province, he sought
audience with the native Sultan, and
for a wagon load Of trade goods, he
rented more than 1000 natives, in fact
the whole village. from the Sultan.
These he used in making scenes in
which Duncan Renaldo and Harry
Carey watch the cavalcade Of ivory
bearers.
Following scenes at Panyamur and
at Hutchinson Falls. in the tsetse or
