LAWRENCE TIBBETT AND
 GRACE MOORE. SUPREME IN "NEW MOON" WHICH OPENED
 TO-DAY AT THE STATE

Two of the worlds greatest voices and two of the screens most vivid personalities are seen in "New Moon," Metro Goldwyn Mayors transcription of the stage hit. CO., starring Lawrence Tibbett and Grace Moore, and now playing at the State theater.
 "New Moon" in it's picture form Is far different from the original stage version although preserving all it's salient parts and it's most popular songs. The locale, changed to Turkestan, permits a sweeping, colorful narrative of love and in trigue, romance and adventure in which tense drama vies with a delicate love story of the young lieutenant and his princess sweet heart. The songs do not detract from the action of the plot, having been cleverly woven in as an in- tegral part of the drama itself.
 ,.The story deals with a Russian princess who plays with fire in the person of an impassioned lieu tenant only to find that she has burned herself in the intrigue and dangerous circumstances which fol- low upon her fiance's discovery of the affair.
 The charming music of the stage success, including the never-to-be- forgotten "Lover Come Back to Me-" "Wanting You" "One Kiss" and "Stout-hearted Men," is aug mented with two outstanding songs. "What Is Your Price. Madame 2" and "The Farmers Daughter" for which Herbert Stothart and Clifford Grey may be complimented.
 The feature picture, which Is shown at 2:3O, 4:40, ZOO and 9:30, is accompanied by splendid sur- rounding program.

 portions of the continent. The great majority of the animals, however, spend the period from December to April in hiding place where they may keep fairly warm and sleep 10 their hearts content.
 During the open season of the year-from spring until the closing month of autumn-bears which live on mountains and in cold northern sections cat much more than they need. Their extra foods turns into fat, chiefly in the form of @ fat layer beneath the skin, and thus makes them ready for months when they will have little or no food.
 The bears den is well known in story. Sometimes it is a hole dug in the side of a steep hill or beneath the roots of a tree. In the bad land" of the Rock mountain region, bears often use "washout" holes. Black bears have been known to curl up in the hollow trunks of trees for the winter sleep.
 Caves are likewise used as dens.
 It would be a mistake to suppose that any bear spends every minute of the winter months in sleep. There are mild days during which bears awaken ald roam outdoors in search of something to eat; but they seldom obtain much, and when spring comes they are "as hungry as a bear"
 Polar bears are large, sometimes being more than seven feet long, but the Kodiak bear, is big brown fellow living on Kodiak island (near Alaska) is the largest member of the bear family. Kodiak bears some times measure nine and a. half feet in length.
 Baby bears are amazingly small, and in size may remind us of kit tens. Seven years pass before a bear becomes full-grown. Cubs spend the second winter with their mothers in the winter retreats.

.CANADA'S rum BAN |
DOESN'T STOP FLOW.
$4,000, 600 Spent Yearly by

Work Under Cover.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario, July 24-Can-
ada's gesture Of good will toward the
United States in banning liquor exports
across the border has cost the Dominion
treasury about $l0000,O0O a year, but
it has not stopped the flow of rum
southwark.
According to official figures, Canadian
liquor exports to all countries last
month totaled 175,884 gallons, as COM
pared with 3o3,769 gallons in June,
1880, which included ll2,572 gallons
to the United States.
Driven to Cover.
True, the shipments of alcoholic
goods to the United States last month
officially were nil, but unofficially rum
runners were busy at all points along
the International border. While there
is a feeling in certain political circles
here that Canadas gesture banning
liquor exports to the United States was
grand for friendship, 1t simply drove
the rum trade under cover making en-
forcement of prohibition more difficult
across the border
Official figures show that in June,
this year. no liquor was cleared to the
United States from Windsor. Ontario,
but in June 1880, no fewer than ASSOC
gallons we're shipped, including ale and
beer. 1904 gallons; gin, $50; whisky,
26,4z3; wines, 2,l38; other spirits, 1913.
Exported to Two Islands.
When the Canadian government
banned liquor shipments to the United
States. as of June /, 1880, m-runners
selected the French islands of ST. Pierre
and Miquelon, in the Gulf OF the st.
Lawrence, as their base. Accordingly
exports from Canada to those islands
soared-in exactly the same proportion
as shipments to the United States had
officially decreased. During the first
month OF the restriction l40590 gallons
of whisky went to st. Pierre and
Miouelon; last month this traffic
doomed, 144,447 gallons going there
from Canada.
It is clear that the few hundred peo-
pie living en- these ISLANDS cannot con-
sumo all this liquor which really
reaches the United States via Atlantic
ports.
