CONNECTS MOAN
 AT PEN CHANGES

Auburn, N. Y.-OId Auburn prison "ain't what it used to be" prisoners agreed as they prepared to move into the newly finished building.
 Airy cells complete with wash bowls. toilets and running water, as well as radio connections, awaited them.
 No lead pipes will be availa ble to bash guards, however. Archi- tects have designed the cells in such way that all plumbing is concealed; the wash-bowls are even set into the walls and the pipes enclosed in steel. Each cell is eight feet by ten feet.
 Civilians employed in building the new north wing daily look down into the "crow's nest" where offenders against prison discipline march in circles for their exer- else. Perched on the top of the south wing. surrounded by high walls, the only view available to the marchers is the sky. At the end of their prescribed turkey strut" they are herded back into the 230 new isolation cells. Here they look across the hundred foot alley-way toward the 426 "de luxe" cells of thetr fellosv pris- oners.

Swimming brings almost every
 muscle into play.

Paul was lucky he had no worse luck than to be frightened. It was d mistake for the older boys to play that trick on him. Very easily he might have been drown ed, even though the others tried to save him.
 As l said in a recent article. 1t is best for a boy or girl to learn to swim in shallow water, near the shore. An older person. who knows how to teach the strokes" should stand close by. Care should be taken to prevent the would-be swimmer from having fright of any kind. Some persons carry fear of water all through life just because they were frightened dur ing childhood.
 If properly carried out, swim ming is one of the best exercises. It brings into play almost every muscle in the body.
 Many persons do good deal of diving during hours at the beach or water hole" If you dive, be sure the water Is deep enough. Divers have been killed by striking their heads against the bottom. Also be careful not to slip on the springboard of pier, else you may be seriously hurt.
 After your swim. or "between courses" you may lie in the sun and let the health-giving rays of the sun beat against your skin. This will be good for you up to q certain point: but the periods of "sun bathing" ought not be too long. Five minutes will be enough for the first time. but you may in- crease the amount on later visits to the beach. If you take your sun bathing slowly. you probably will not be sunburned.
 John Weismuller, famous swim mer, swam 100 yards in 51 seconds back in 1927. This is about one fifth the speed a fast runner can make over the ground.
 Long distance swimmers some- times travel at the rate of more than mile and a half an hour. Twenty years ago, Thomas Bur- gess, an Englishman, swam across the English chnaned in 22 hours and 3s minutes, covering a distance of 39 miles.

JUGS OF GOLD
 CAUSE 5 SUITS

Buffalo. III. (UP)-Two brown jugs, filled to the top with gold coins totaling $6,028 and found hidden underground, here, have started authorities into searching old laws to determine which of six claimants to the treasure" Is en- titled to 1t.
 The jugs were buried, 1t is be- lieved, 50 years ago by Peter T.. Leeds. physician and pioneer resident. They were found several weeks ago by workmen digging a sewer trench in the center of the business district, which at one time was part of Leeds land.
 F. c. Jack and James J. Rog- CTS, the two workmen who found the jugs, discovered them when the spade of one of them scraped against their sides.
 Immediately there was minia- ture gold rush. but 1t finally sub sided and was followed by dis putes over ownership.
 Alexander Booth. present owner of the property, not only claimed the gold, but took possession of 1t.
 No sooner had Booth tucked the find" away than a second claim ant appeared, in the personn of off, ficials of Sangamon county. They based the county claim on an 1874 law providing that found property belongs to the county, unless the original possessor of the land. or his heirs, make a claim. They also contended that ownership would have to be proved by the original possessor, or his heirs.
 While Booth and couny officials wrangled, two granddaughters of Leeds, who died 50 years ago. started court proceedings to gain the gold.
 1 Then came Jack and Rogers. who filed a trover suit, claiming that under an old English law the finder of hidden treasure" is en- titled tO keen it.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY

"heroed" we can justly classify '"Clearing the Range" as his mas terpiece. The story is one of hu- man interest with love affair ap- petite. while Hoot's hard riding should have the kids in the gallery shouting for more, and there s plenty of hard riding backed up with a reason for every ride.
 While adapting the role of a sap to disillusion the william. Hoot gamers laughs and scornful glances from his friends who thought him fearless. The time comes for action, however. and he gets his man. There are many new wrinkles unfolded in the story and 1t has been told with a finesse sell dom accomplished in western ac- tion pictures.

BARBARA STANWYCK IN
 1.-THE MIRACLE WOMAN"
 CLOSES TONIGHT AT STATE

Regeneration through love - the oldest but probably the. truest story in the world. Love has ele- vated the most lowly in the years gone by and will continue to do so as long as the world is in exist ence because 1t Is the most power full and worthwhile influence in a persons life. It is love that makes the world go round. they say.
 And 1t is regeneration through love that forms the theme of Bar bara Stanwyck's lates- starring ve- hicle. "The Miracle Woman" the hit drama showing at the Warner Bros. State theater for the last times to-day. It Is said that this sensational star plays the most emotional role of her career in this current vehicle.
 A large cast has been assem- bled to support Miss Stanwyck. David Manners plays the leading masculine role. Featured parts are interpreted by Sam Hardy and Beryl Mercer. Others include Rus sell Hopton, Charles Middleton, Eddie Roland, Aileen Carlyle and Harry Todd.
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies the feature pic ture.

Made up of John Doe, Richard Roe and Sam Gazoo! And so, year upon year. things would go around in a merry circle and come to no good end: the public would yawn at the mention of clean up and comment, Yeah but they never get the big shots! They never get the higher-up"
 To-day. the fellows who left their finger-prints in the commis- sioner's office have automatically shouldered responsibility that can not longer be passed to a couple of other fellows.
 Of course few people expect a city of Manhattan's bulk to be lily white and without vice or swindle.
 But certain dance halls have be- come. little more than brotherels and not particularly good brothersl at that. And the vicious practices off crooked night clubs have trap ped many an unwary visitor. The most popular game has been that of check raising, with little at- tempted blackmail on the side. Knock -out drops are still used and failure to pay hold-up prices have been followed by beatings and robbery.

anama,-Panama's swankiest night club, which is be-stuccoed and decorated to give the illusion of an old Spanish patio, and whose dim lights are boon to the West Indian walters making change for customers, leads the casual New York visitor to believe that he has wandered by error into a New York "tea room"

A young lieutenant of the Panama police force arrested the woman and brought her before Mayor Hector Valdes of the City of Panama for trial.
 The police officer assured the mayor that the girls procedure in dressing as man constituted. In his opinion, an infraction of the moral laws of the country.
 Mayor Valdes thought other- wise, and in dismissing the case said the girl was more decently attired than many women who have recently taken to wearing pajamas in public.

ENGLISH SEEK l932 ARMS CUT
 BY CONFERENCE
Moral Pressure Used By Mother Country and
 DOn1iniOns

Geneva, (UP)-England and the dominions have brought a fresh moral pressure to bear upon other leaguers for an actual reduction of ornaments at the 1882 disarma- ment conference.
 In notes addressed to the secreta- riat both by the mother country and the various dominions who are Independent members of the league notice has been given that they cannot accept the necessary amendments to the covenant to bring 1t into harmony with the
 Kellogg Pact until the bringing into force of general treaty for the reduction and limitation of ar- maments.
 The question of harmonizing the two documents Is one of vital im- portance to the smaller members of the league. who count on the incorporation into the covenant of the Kellog Pact abolishing war as constituting for them one of the greatest guarantees of security. Great Difficulty
 The question of harmonizing the covenant and Kellogg Pact was on the agenda of last years assem- bly and after great difficulty neces- sary amendments to the covenant were found which it was believed would be acceptable to the mem- bers of the league as a whole.
 The question was accordingly placed again on the agenda of this years assembly. at which time 1t was confidently hoped that neces- sary changes in he covenant could be made.
 The notification just given. how ever, by England and the domin- ions makes 1t evident that the nec- essary unanimity for the covenant amendments cannot be secured to an actual reduction in arma. ments.
 In the meantime, France also tude.
 French Argument In a note she points out that while favoring fully the harmon izing of the covenant with the Kel. logg Pact. 1t Is quite apparent that this never can be done until a suc- cessful disarmament conference has been held.
 However, as she always has in. sisted that if war Is to be abolished as a means of settling international disputes some other means must
 be substituted, she urges that the league in the meantime concen. trate all its efforts on securing the most universal ratification possible of the Leagues General Act of Ar.
 bitration. The latter. which Is tho leagues last word towards obli. gatory arbitration, has been ratified to date by fifteen nations.

TWO BIG FEATURES AT
 FOX POLL PALACE NOW.

What happens when the people of a big city. aroused to action over the rascality and grating In" trigues of the p, litical machine m power, decide to throw out the cor rupt party "bosses?"
 That question is aptly answered by William c. deMille in his play "The Woman" which, under the film title of "The Secret Call." opened at the Fox-Poli theater yes- terday and was there received cordially by audiences that were obviously much impressed.
 Peggy shannon. new Paramount Tt" girl. performs the part of the daughter of the machine" man (Harry Beresford) who dies in dis grace after having been made the "goat" of the organization by the "higher-up" Civilian B. David son).
 Richard Arlen plays the part of Davidson's son--a youth who IS ignorant of the shady practices of his father.
 To accomplish her revenge. Miss shannon gets a job as telephone operator in a large hotel where Davidson and his crooked mob of pOIltlCidHS HdVc thcI iSnuS~SOaT' She thus learns enough damaging secrets to scandalize the whole "machine" and to wreck their corrupt administration of the city.
 Arlen, her sweetheart before the death of her father, tries vainly to effect & reconciliation of their love. She is too bitter to submit to his innocent blandishments-and she is about to "spill" the story which will wreck his father when a series of exciting events alters the course of their lives. The ending is a happy one.
