Earth Is Being Left'' at
 II,OOO Miles Per Second

WASHINGTON, March !2.-Dis- covery of a new terrific speed among heavenly bodies is announc- ed today by the Carnegie Institu- tion of Washington.
 The faintest discovered island un- iverse, CT nebula,. far out in space, apparently is rushing away from the earth at the breath-taking speed of 11,0QQ miles a second, 60 per cent faster than any nebula previously observed.
 The discovery was made by Dr Milton L. Humanson of the Carne- gie Institutions obs erva tory at Mount Wilson, California.
 The speed of this nebula exceeds that Of any other known nebula roughly as much as fast express train exceeds the speed of a slow freight.
 Dr. Humansons discovery may have a bearing on Dr. Albert Ein- stein's studies of the nature of the universe. Einstein has been study ing at Mount Wilson during his stay in California.

HORTON STARS IN WIDE OPEN
 AT COLISEUM
Uproarious Comedy with Louise Fazenda in Cast
 Has Many Laughs

Wide Open the Warner Bros. and Vitaphone comedy which comes to the Coliseum Theatre tonight, is the uproarious story of the manner in which a human mouse is made into master of men and of the ladies as well. The means seem reasonable enough. The daughter of the big boss arrives to set matters straight.
 Edward Everett Horton with his peculiar deftness in this sort of character portrayal, plays the part of Simon Haldane, meek bookkeep- CT and inventor. The office force, led by the bullying star salesman makes Simon's life a burden and the manager of the office hoots at his plans for better according system and an improved phono- graph needle, the company being engaged in the manufacture of talk irg machines.

ridicule of his co-workers. What she does in the way of posing as his wife, getting the truth about matters, busting his detractors, rais- ing him to prominence in the firm and winning her fathers ap- proval of their marriage. makes comedy both human and amusing.
 The laughs in the show are said to average more than two min ute. Some of them are giggles, many of them are chuckling chor ties and 50 or 60 of them are rated as regular guffaws that ex- ercise the diaghragm and break off buttons.
 Horton accounts for more than half of the laughs on his own &C., count, while Louise FaZenda prob ably runs next with a comedy role that seems ready-made for her kind of clowning.
 Miss Miller Amusing
 Patsy Ruth Miller, who has to carry sympathetic lead as well as part of the comedy burden, gets her full share of amusing. Others in the cast are Edna Mur- phy, T. Roy Barnes, Frank Beal, Vincent Barnett, Lloyd Ingraham Bobby Gordon, BB.B., Louise Beav- CT, E. J. Radcliffe and Vera Lewis.
 Wide Open. was directed by Archie Mayo who has previously made a name for himself with fea- ture comedies and who, with Hor- ten and Miss Miller, make a trio that have worked together in num- erous pictures on the Warner lot.

 The nebula is estimated to be 120,0G0,000 light years away from the earth, or 12o,0oO,O0O times the distance light would travel in a year. Light traverses approximate ly 186,000 miles in one second

When Governor Hammill, with

the American nonstop endurance

the fact that the first car Of the

Since 1915 automobiles in this
country have increased by not
less than 100000 vehicles yearly.
Some 28,000,000 cars of all kinds
are now running around on the
nations roads and streets. There
are more motor trucks alone TO-
day than there were passenger
cars just II years ago.
1t is difficult to clearly picture
the complex automobile and road
problem. Although the United
States has been actively engaged
in modern road building for at
least a decade great mileageS Of
heavily used roads are still await
ing the high type Of improvement
justified by the traffic they carry.
Fortunately, however, road build
ing has proceeded with recogni-
tion Of the principle that the
most used roads should be first
improved.

Of the people live along the 767.-

surfaced. The remaining one.
fourth Of the population lives
along the 2,250,0O0 miles of roads
that have not been surfaced.
But to reach this quarter of the
population with surfaced roads
would be a burden indeed, as is
related in the following principle
