The Last Flight
Shown For Last
Times Tonight

Popularity of Richard Barthel-
mess as one of Hollywood's premier
actors was displayed last night when
large crowds viewed the first show
ings of his latest picture, THE Last
Flight" at the Fox Airdome thea
ter.
The story is that of trio of
former wartime flyers, spoiled with
excitement during the war, and
seeking a peace time thrill equal
to that of flying with death.
Through the gay capitals of Europe
the trio haunt the gayest places.
Meeting a charming, mysterious
girl, they adopt her as their mas
cot, and carry her with them on
their escapades. The advent of a
civilian, and his efforts to steal the
girl, furnishes the picture with a
punch as great as that of any war
picture yet shown.
Helen Chandler takes the part of
the girl. Supporting Barthelmess
in the masculine part of the cast
are David Manners, John Mack
Brown, Elliott Nugent and Walter
Byron. This is a First National
production, directed by William
Dieterle
THE Last Flight" will be seen
for the last times at the Fox Air
dome tonight.

IMPROVED METHOD
OF ROASTING COFFEE
IMPRESSES CRITICS
Controlled Roasting Creates
Definitely Superior Flavor
in Hills Bros. Coffee

Critical people, who search for q
perfect coffee, usually come to their
journeys end when they taste Hills
Bros. Coffee! 1t has a flavor no
other coffee has--a flavor none can
equall This is because of Controlled
Roasting-Hills Bros patented
process. 1t keeps Hills Bros. Coffee
free from the unsatisfactory flavor
results so often secured with ordi-
nary, bulk methods.
AS the accuracy of the hour-glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow "a little at time :. so the
matchless, unvarying flavor of Hills
Bros. Coffee is produced by this
patented process that roasts evenly,
continuously -. little at time.
Here's what happens: every
berry is roasted to the right degree.
None is underdone, none is overdone.
As result, Hills Bros. Coffee has
the perfect flavor that never varies!
Drink Hills Bros. today. You'll
delight in its savory flavor. And
that flavor is always the same
it never varies!
Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in
vacuum cans. Air, which destroys
the flavor of coffee, is removed and
kept out of these cans. Ordinary,
"air-tight" cans won't keep coffee
fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee is
always fresh! Order some today.
Ask for it by name, and look for the
Arab trademark on the can.

Establish Motive
For Drowning Of
Virginia Woman

HAMPTON, Va, Sept. 18. U.P)
Elizabeth City county authorities
claimed today they had established
a motive for the alleged drowning
of Mrs. Jenny Graham Kane with
which her husband, Professor Elisha
Kent Kane of the University of
Tennessee, is charged.
The influence of another wom-
an who is said to have written
Kane that "a little nerve and a
very little time" were all that was
needed to "get rid" of his wife
was announced as the accepted
motive of the crime charged by
DR.. George K. Vanderslice, coro-
ner.
The 38-year-old professor was
accused of the deliberate and pre-
mediatated murder" of his 30-year-
old wife by the coroner in a verdict
yesterday after four days of in
vestigation.
DR.. Vanderslice announced the
letters on which a large part of
the case against Kane is based
we're signed "E. H. D."
This letter was dated "On Board
S. s. America. Sept. l, 1881"
Mrs. Kane was drowned while
swimming with her husband, at an
isolated point on Grand View
Beach, near here, on September II.
He contends that his wife acci-
dentally drowned despite his fran
tic efforts to rescue and revive her
when she apparently was injured

OLD IRONSIDES
COMES TO PORT
DURING HOLIDAY

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16. UP)-
With the announcement py Cover
nor Clifford Pinchot that September
II would be celebrated as Consti-
tuition Day, the arrival of the frig-
ate "Old Ironsides." as the Con-
stitution is known, in Philadelphia
on that date seemed appropriate.
But the historical significance of
its visit to the city where the Con-
stitution was drafted in the old
state house that witnessed the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, is increased by the fact that
recently two ancient stone cannon
balls which are connected in his
tory with the frigate were re-dis-
covered here.
Out at the Naval Home, on Greys
Ferry road, two huge granite balls
guard the entrance. On the east
erly side is cut deeply, in letters
about an inch and half high:
Obtained by Commodore
J. ID. Elliott, u. S. N, at the
HeIlespOnt on the Asiatic side
of the Dardanelles in the year
1888. Brought home in the
u. S. Frigate Constitution and
presented by him to the Naval
Asylum.
Thus, for almost a century, these
two relics, reminders of a gallant
officer and a gallant ship have
stood their vigil For years the
granite spheres were regarded mere
ly as mementoes with little Signi-
canoe attached to them.
Recently Rear Admiral Albert
Gleaves, U. S. N, who has just re-
tired, wrote an article about them.
Aiken Simmons, an ordinance ex-
pert, became interested and identi-

OLD MANX OATH
is ADMINISTERED

LONDON, Sept. 18. U.P) = A
quaint oath was used recently in a
ManX court when Deemster Steven
son More was recalled to the bench
after an absence of ten years. He
SWore:
"By the wonderful works that
God miraculously wrought in be-
tween heaven above and the earth
beneath in six days and seven
nights, to execute the laws of the
Isle justly between our sovereign lord
the King and his subjects as indif-
ferently as the herring's backbone
doth lie in the midst of the fish" :"
The oath is reminiscent of the
time when the herring constituted
the chief food of the Manx people.

CHEVROLET HAS
F. EXHIBIT PLAN

A national demonstration cam.
paign, with a goal of one million
demonstrations during the month,
has been mapped out for June
by the Chevrolet Motor Company.
The campaign is in line with
Chevrolet's previously expressed
opinion that the potential buy
ing capacity of the country is
unimpaired and requires only
intensive sales effort to develop
a satisfactory volume, according
to II. J. Klingler, vice president
and general sales manager.
The past four months for which
registration figures are complete
show that Chevrolet skies have
led the domestic passenger car
market.
During the month Of June,
every one Of the $4,000 Chevrolet
dealers, sales managers and sales
men will be required to fill an
assigned quota of demonstrations,
appraiSals and sales.
The campaign is unique in that
the objective is directly aimed
at increased demonstrations. and
that special recognition will be
given statesmen who fill their
demonstration quota.
