up a new one and to pay $25 and

while so doing.
But presidents brother-in-law is
q presidents brother -in-law. The
hand of Leavitt may have held 10
pints Of liquor, as indeed is admitted
to be true, but the mind of Leavitt
could not have conceived the idea Of
Intentionally violating the prohibition
statute. He took the liquor and tried
to dispose Of 1t just as matter of
neighborly service, we are told. In
fact, he wasn't just sure what the
clinking glass in that sack contained.
For all he knew it was raspberry pop.
The fact that he is the presidents
brother -in-law should not, Of course,
be considered overmuch in Leavitt's
case. He gets no credit for it, and
he shouldn't be blamed for it. When
Leavitt married Mary Hoover, her
brother could hardly have been re-
garded as presidential timber. The
effect, however, is to make it uncom-
Portable for him and to throw a
rather amusing sidelight on the argu-
ment now raging over the success or
failure of the noble experiment"
The most interesting thing about
the whole business, if one gets back
of the personalities involved, is that
they now are raiding grocery stores
in Santa Monica and grocers of suf-
ficient repute to be on neighborly
terms with the presidents brother
in-law apparently are engaging in
the bootlegging business in the gold

Value of Cavalry

Whatever else the current unpleas-
antness in Manchuria may have
done, 1t has at least restored to the
art of war traditional feature that
some Of us has supposed extinct
forever-the cavalry.
Soldiers on horseback are figuring
largely in both Japanese and Chi
nese military operations. The cav
airy has taken part in combat, it has
conducted extensive scouting and re-
connoitering operations, it has filled
its age-old function of screening
it has been, in fact, just about what
it always used to be, in spite of mod
ern weapons and mechanical trans
port.
This ought to be solid comfort for
the die-hards who have insisted that
the World war did not, as so many
people thought, spell the end Of cav
alry's usefulness.
Indeed, as matter of fact, cav
airy was used considerably in the
World war. 1t was only in France
that it lest it's utility. There, after
the race to the sea- in the fall OF
1914 was completed, the trench lines
were solid, from the channel to the
Swiss frontier, and the cavalry lost
its Job.
Elsewhere, however-in Palestine,
and on the Russian front-cavalry
had room to operate, and it was
just about as useful as it ever was.
Now the same thing is proving true
in Manchuria.
OF course, the day of the old-style
picturesque cavalry charge, la Wa
terloo, is ended. Machine guns and
rapid-fire light artillery have made
that certainty. 1t is probably quite
true, too, that the airplane has taken
much of the cavalry's job in the field
of reconnaissance. But the colorful
jingling cavalry squadron still has its
place in the military scheme.
After all, it has been chiefly the
amateur who has proclaimed the ex-
tinction Of the cavalry. The trained
soldiers in charge Of the worlds
armies, it is worth remembering, have
insisted on keeping their cavalry
units. The operations in Manchuria
indicate they knew what they were
doing.

CantOr's Film Is

Presenting something entirely new
in modern bakery personnel is only
one of many surprises introduced in
"Palmy Days" starring Eddie Can

wood, which will be played for the
last times tonight at Fox Imperial
Theater.
Much of the pictures action is
placed in a bakery, with the two
principals playing havoc with the
dignity and order of the establish
ment. The elongated Charlotte is
physical instructor in the bakery
and the wild-eyed Cantor is the ef-
ficiency expert, though he efficien-

Cantor has a chance to sing
couple of numbers in the play. and
Miss Greenwood also has a song
number.
There are numerous hilarious sit
uations in the film and while Can
tor and Miss Greenwood carry the
burden of the production, they are
ably assisted by an attractive and
clever cast.
