surprise on his organ program
tonight when he does his weekly
broadcasting over WRC. It will
be Miss Rosalinia Coloreo, a young
Mexican girl from Mexico City,
who will sing several selections.
Miss Coloreo has a beautiful so
prano voice and it will be heard
for the first time in America
when she sings Thursday evening.
Hundreds of fans Stampeded

Stration of fan mania that should

hectic evening and was unnoticed.

FILM CONTROL

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Will the en-
tire film trade of Britain-pro-
duction, renting and cinemas-
pass under American control en-
tirely?
That is a question that has
been asked throughout Britain
the past six months.
According to a report drawn
up, at the request of the London
Trade Council, the trade is al
ready largely in American hands.
American films now dominate
the screens of Britain to such an
extent that few movie theaters
could open if they did not exist.
Attention is drawn to the large
financial interests which Amer
lean film corporations have in
British producing concerns. In
dependent British renting films,
which once handled American
films, have virtually ceased to
exist.
One company, which recently
acquired the London Astoria
group, is said to be contemplate
ing $10,000,000 company for
the building of so new movie
theaterS.

N. Y. BANS NOISY.
. GARBAGE MEN .

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Em-
ployes of the Department of San
itation who make unnecessary
noise in collecting garbage and
refuse will face serious depart
mental charges under a general
order issued yesterday by DR..
William Schroeder. jr., chairman
of the sanitation commission, to
all his Subordinates.
Last December. DR.. Schroeder
issued his first order against un-
necessary noise and shouting,
particularly at night. Since that
time the complaints of persons
whose sleep has been disturbed
have continued to come in and
the chairman decided upon the
second general order, which read
in part:
"That the making Of unnec-
essary noise when collecting
refuse will be the cause of Sc
riOus charges being preferred
against the offenders.
District Superintendents are
directed to attend the evening
rOll-cal at least once each week
and lecture both the men and
the officers will be held respOn-
Sible."
DR.. Schroeder laid part of the
noise to old motor equipment,
which is rapidly being supplanted.
His order of last December
pointed out that night collec-
tions were essential because at
the time snow plows were operat-
ing during the day, and said
that shouting and banging cans
must cease.

Capital Girl
Made Happy

MANY times a child has every
NA thing to make her happy and
still is dissatisfied. This may not be
the youngsters fault. Often it is due
to a condition easily corrected.
Take the experience of Mrs. B. A.
Gainey, 2134 F ST., N. W., Washing
ton, who says: Nothing seemed to
please Marjory. She was fretful,
feverish, her tongue was coated. She
was constipated.
"a friend told me about California
Fig Syrup and | got some. 1t relieved
her trouble promptly; made her
brig hit and happy again. We have
used it for five years"
Mothers by thousands praise this
pure vegetable product. Children
love it. Doctors recommend it to-
relieve constipation, feverishness,
fretfulness, headaches; to open the
bowels in colds or children'S ailments.
Appetite is increased by the use of
California Fig Syrup; breath is sweet
ened; coated tongue is cleared; diges-
ton and assimilation are aided; weak
bowels and stomach are strengthened.
For your protection, the genuine
always bears the name California.

the rescue he had engaged rooms
