third time. He nearly lost his life In
a three-hour spin in the famed whirl-

up on the racket'-because he made no
money out Of the trip.
The long spin in the whirlpool forced
him to make the trip in two sections.
He completed the ride yesterday, after
getting as far as the whirlpool Memo

IT, pulled him in after he had popped
his head out of his barrel to shout

relation to public life, and third, In
relation to the organized institutions of
the colored race.
He said

 Fresh bear tracks were picked up and followed. When the proxim- ity of the animal was certain, MT. Barrymore climbed tree to make observations He spied the crea- ture going into nearby brush. Hast fly descending the actor focused his camera and began cranking.
 Often on a motion picture set in studio," he declared, T have been made weary and irritable by the countless retaking of the same scene, necessitated by the occur renee of foreign noises or the com mission of faults in acting. On such occasions, I have been exas- perated by the clicking sound of the camera.
 How was I to know bears are temperamental. I didn't.
 Animal Starts to Attack

He raised up, peered at the three of us grouped together and then nov ed toward us. l cranked my cam era until he got within 35 yards of us. Fearing that Captain Mat thies' comparatively light rifle would not stop the animal, if he persisted in advancing, l unslung my own, heavier weapon. The bear continued his approach. M distance of between 25 and 30 yards, I fired twice. Both bullets carried home. I shot him in the neck and in the chest, killing him instantly"
 The animals skin measures 12 feet. If the quality of the hide warrants tanning and dressing, it will be taken to furrier, and eventually will adorn the actors trophy room in his home at Beverly Hills.

FLOOD TO BE FOLIO WED BY
 'CALLOFFLESH'
Ramon Novarro Is Star in Picture Billed for
 Capitol Tuesday

With "The Flood" featuring El- eanor Boardman and Monte Blue, showing for the last times tonight, Call of the Flesh" starring Ramon Novarro, will be the attraction to- morrow night at the Capitol the ater.
 In "The Flood" the continuous battle which dwellers in towns on the Mississippi River make against the inroads of it's mighty waters is seen. Graphic scenes of the break ing of levees show what happens when man temporarily loses the battle.
 Two Ramon Novarros
 In Call of the Flesh" there are two Ramon Novarros, apparently
 One is a whimsical comedian, full of the joy of life, love and music. The other is tragic, nominant fig ure, compelling in it's intensity
 One sees both these Novarros in Call of the Flesh" a Metro-Gold- wyn- Mayer picture. Novarro starts as a care-free youth in the story, and winds up as character Booth, Barrett or Mansfield might well have played.
 It is the story of a Spanish opera singer who sacrifices love and hap piness on the altar of fame only to find that love is, after all, far more powerful than the lure of the opera.
 Charles Brabin Directed
 Charles Brabin directed the story, in which Novarro sings operatic as well as popular songs. Dorothy Jordan is the heroine as the convent girl he loves, and Re nee Adoree fiery creature as Lola, the dancer, whose jealousy dogs the pair. Ernest Terrence is the old singing tutor and Mathilde Comont injects comedy touches as the old opera star. Nance ONeil is cast as a Mother Superior and Russell Hopton as the heroine's brother.
 Settings and camera effects by Merritt Gerstad, and music by Herbert Stothart and Clifford Grey add to the attractiveness of the TO- nance of old Spain. Dorothy Far mum wrote the story, with dialogue by John Cotton.

Warm Weather
Expected Here

That the cold spell has broken
up and that for the next two days
warmer weather is predicted. will

States weather bureau this morn
ing stated that it was not certain
that rain would follow but that 1t

for a few days.
In estimating the damage done
by the froStS, Baughman stated
that the most severe injuries to ag-
riculture were caused by the No
vember frost, which injured the
pea and tomato crop, but which
rather helped lettuce, as 1t i'm
proved the latter's quality. A few
pea fields where temperatures were

Citrus damage was quite general
to foliage and outside succulent
growth but very little of the fruit
was damaged Two or three orch
ards, where temperatures reached

above refers TO grapefruit. Baugh-
man stated tnat tangerineS and
oranges were frozen in number
of cases.
