Billie Dove Returns To Screen Makes Fine Showing in "The Age for Love- After Full Years Absence From the Studios and Proves
 Right to StardOm

If it's a mystery story you want, don't miss "The Spider" which brings Edmund Lowe to the screen in an entirely new role-that of 9 magician.
 With the exception of one or two scenes, the entire picture takes place in a theater where a murder is committed during the show and is solved by Lowe and his assist ant, a remarkable mind reader. That's as much of the story as we intend to reveal because mystery shows should remain a mystery until you see them.
 Of course there's romance, too furnished by Lois Moran. Lois hasn't much to do but what she has she does well. She would be an asset to the romance in any pie ture-or out of it. Howard Phillips, newcomer, does some excellent work as Lowe's assistant. And there is some very good comedy furnished by Fl Brendell and little Kendall McComas.

Ine bjuuLuS.
 The hand was played in a rub Der contract game. Neither side was vulnerable. The contract bid ding under the writer's system would be as follows: South one diamond. West overcalled with two clubs, North passed and East went to four clubs. South then showed his five-card spade suit by bidding four spades. West bid five clubs and North went to five spades which was doubled by West.
 The Play.
 When holding ace king, the king is led to show the ace. there fore West opened with the king of clubs and followed with the ace which South trumped with the six of spades. South, the declarer. led the king of spades which West won with the ace, and when ne received another club discard from his partner in the East position, West decided to try the heart suit as his partner has shown some outside strength. He played the eight, East the ten and South the declarer won the trick with the ace.
 South led the jack of spades. picking up Vests four and East discarded the pack of clubs. De- clarer then led the seven of spades, West discarding club and the trick is won in the dunn my with the eight of spades, East discarding another club. A small diamond was led from dummy and the jack finesse taken which held the trick. The nine of spades was returned by declarer and won in the dummy with the ten spot. East discarding the eight of diamonds.
 The declarer recognizes that # East holds the king and queen of hearts, which he probably does due to the fact that he played the ten spot on his partners heart lead, then he holds three dia- monds to the king and the squeeze is possible. Therefore, the declar- re leads the queen of spades from dummy. East is forced to discard the queen of hearts, South the de- clarer discarding heart and West the ten of clubs.
 Now the five of spades is led from dummy and East is squeezed If he discards the king of hearts. the nine and jack will be good in dummy. If the discards the nine of diamonds, the discards will dis card the five of hearts and then lead the deuce of diamonds, and when East plays the ten, declarer will cover with the queen. He will then lead the ace of diamonds picking up the king of diamonds from the East hand and the three of diamonds will be good in the declarer's hand.
 By properly applying the squeeze, the declarer makes hi: contract of five spades doubled scoring 300 for tricks, 50 for mak- ing his contract. as he was noi vulnerable, and North and Soutf now became vulnerable.

Trenton, N. J.-There is no bet ter traffic cop than an airplane, according to Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the state police of New Jersey.
 A pioneer in using planes to avoid jams on roads threatened with congestion, reepated trials have satisfied him that a flying observer can drop messages to traffic officers below telling them just how to straighten out trouble. But that is only one of many values Colonel Schwarzkopf has demonstrated for police planes. His troopers have hunted great stretches for fugitives who have just committed crimes. discovered stills concealed in spots So lone- some that troopers on the ground could have hunted indefinitely without success and trapped poaehers raiding oyster beds, or private fish ponds.

CLAIM WET STATES
PAY FOR DRY LAW
Crusaders Declare Increased Taxes
on Income Made Necessary
by Prohibition.

The Crusaders in statement made
public by their headquarters here claims
that the cost Of prohibition rests more
heavily on the wet States than the
dry States.
income-tax figures are cited to show
that I'll wet States contributed $751;
142, 448" in 1923, while II Of the dryest
paid $79,041 1856.
Only few of the States included
were named. They were Maryland,
New jersey, New York, Massachusetts,
and Illinois on the wet side, and Vir-
ginia, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky and
Kansas in the dry column. The Cru
saders commended the average per capita
income tax in the former group was
near $18 while that In the latter was
less than 81.
"It is easy to understand" the state
ment said, why the dry States regard
with complacent satisfaction the sub
stitution of an income tax for the dead
tax on alcoholic beverages.
Previous to prohibition the Ameri-
can Government collected almost half
a billion dollars q year from O tax on
liquors. II the Government could COLI
lect tax on the Illicit liquor consumed
today within the United States, the, rev.
enue would be close to billion dollars
a year, or approximately what the
Americans pay annually in the form Of
an income tax"

HOOVER AT SHRINE
WILL REACT PAST
Has Role Taken by U. S.
Grant at Tomb Of Lincoln
81 Years Ago.
BY the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 15.-When
President Hoover comes to Springfield
Wednesday and dedicates the recon-
structed tomb of Abraham Lincoln he
will be reacttng scene Of 81 years
ago-a scene In which another Presi-
dent was the central figure.
In 1874 President Ulysses s. Grant
came to Springfield to dedicate the
tomb on behalf Of a grateful Nation.
I'm his DEATH" said Grant Of Lincoln,
''the Nation lost its greatest hero"
There have been many changes made
in the rebuilding Of the monument.
Reproductions Of statues not yet nodded
in Grants time lend new dignity to
the memorial. CryptS Of the family
have been moved. New entrances are
provided. Yet the occasion Of 1874 and
the formalities planned for Wednesday
are much alike.
Same Route Selected.
President Hoover's procession, moving
from the State Capitol to the Oakridge
Cemetery in automobiles, will travel the
same streets traversed by horse-drawn
carriages in the procession of Gen.
Grant past buildings and residences
decorated again as they were then. The
procession. too, will pass Lincoln's home.
Music which was provided by mill
Lary DanQ from newport barTackS, KY,
in Grants time will be played by the
University of Illinois Band and high
school bands from Joliet and East St.
Louis, Wednesday.
On q platform in front Of the monu-
ment, President Hoover is to speak of
Lincoln. On almost that same spot
Grant gave one Of the shortest and
best known addresses Of his career.
Told Of DisappOintments.
with all his disappointments from
failures on the part Of those to whom
he had entrusted command" Grant
said in part, land treachery on the
part Of those who had gained his con-
f1dence but to betray it, never heard
him utter q complaint, nor cast
cenSure for bad conduct or bad faith.
. In his death the Nation lost its
greatest hero. In his death the South
lost its most just friend"
For President Hoover. 1t will be his
second address on Lincoln. In his
White House study, in 1929, Hoover
made q radio address on the Emanci-
pator.

NEW YORK, June 15.-It Is possible
to live complete lifetime in Manhat-
tan without ever stepping out onto the
street-and have q good time, too.
Miles of subway system forming q
network Of underground passages link
man with his place Of business, his
home and his recreation.
He can enter the Grand Central Sta
ton, for instance, and 60 daily to his
Wall Street office via the subway, enter
ing the building through one of the
connecting passages and return thus to
his home In q midtown hotel.
Entering an elevator in the hotel, he
can dine and dance at night In q tower
ing roof garden. without going out OF
doors he can view the city's skyscraper
growth and marvel at its myriads of
gLttering electric stars.
After dinner he may descend again
and sojourn below the city'ss surface to
Times Square, where through q con-
Meeting entrance way he can attend the
theater.
The final flip to q metropolitan
romance for the man who chooses to
live like q mole may be realized in the
fact that he can secure q marriage IL
cense by taking a subway to the Munic-
ipal Building downtown. There he may
also be married.

Pine Organ Progress.

The pipe organ has undergone very
little change in principle since the
days of Bach, but the instrument has
gained In popularity very greatly in
recent years. This Is not only due
to the use Of these instruments in
moving picture houses, but to greater
appreciation of their music by the
public generally. A pipe organ fac

started by one man so years ago, is
now a great establishment employing

LINCOLN MEMORIAL
AWAITS PRESIDENT
Hoover to Find Changes at
Tomb Mainly on
interior.
N the Associated Press.

~ the, Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June 15.-The
monument to Abraham Lincoln, dedi-
Gated almost three score years ago by
President Ulysses s. Grant and re-
Gently rebuilt to preserve it for future
Generations, awaits another President
arN another dedication.
when President Herbert Hoover
comes to Springfield Wednesday he
will find the emancipator'S tomb and
its surroundings appearing from the
outside much as it did when Grant
dedicated it to "the Nations greatest
hero"
Piercing the sky from the topmost
hill in Oakridge Cemetery, the gray
granite shaft at the center Of the
monument presents view almost
identical with that the Civil War hero
beheld. But many of the details have
been changed with an almost complete
Encouragement Of the interior.
SarcOphagus Can BE Seen.
The iron-barred door marked "Lin-
coin" which for 81 years had been
swung back to admit kings princes
potentates and statesmen, has been
closed for the last time. 1t opened
from the back of the monument and
was seldom unlocked, for 1t permitted
q view of the sarcophagus through its
iron bars.
In its place today is a stained glass
window, and the view Of the sarcoph-
agus is from the other side. The
entrance is from the front, and instead
of viewing it from the foot through
bars, visitors now may stand In the
room of the sarcophaguS and look al
, It full length from the side.
The approach is through Railways OF
marble, lined with reproductions Of IA
nous statues of Lincoln. The scarce
phagus, of red marble, holds a sombre
place of dignity in circular room,
alone with the flags of the States where
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ken
lucky, Indiana and Illinois.
Behind the spectator as he looks at
the scarcophagus from the areaway
marked of by a silken rope are the
crypts Of Mrs. Lincoln and two sons.
Willie, who was usually called Tad, y
and Eddie Under the old arrangement
these crypts were in the same room
with the sarcophagus.
Exterior Changes Few.
Exterior changes are few. Three
openings that gave a view from the
face of the granite tower have been
closed and a replica Of GutSom Borg
Ium's huge head of Lincoln in the Hall
Of Fame at washington has been
placed at the approach to the monu-
ment
Within, nearly everything is changed.
The crowded relics which gave the reg
istry the unavoidable appearance OF
pawn shop are gone. In their place
reduced reproduction Of Daniel French's
colossal statue at the Lincoln Memorial
In washington stands alone. Copies OF
famous statues along the marble hall
WAYS leading back to the sarcophagus
are all new to the manument.
Rebuilding of the monument cost
4175.000, almost as much as the original
construction. 1t was built in 1874 at
cost of $4,000.
A stand has been completed for
President Hoover and his party IN front
of and to one side of the monument.
Space has been cleared for $4,000 per-
sons on the rolling ground which forms
the approach to the monument.
