GAN CSTER LIFE
 SEEMS FUNNY IN CAPITOL FARCE.
See America Thirst Has Langdon, Summerville
 and Bessie Love

See America Thirst" with liar ry Langdon, Slim Summerville and Bessie Love in the leading roles, features the new program tonight at the Capitol theatre.
 Tonight is "Chinaware Night" Every woman attending either per- formance will receive a piece of table silverware.
 See America Thirst" is a satiri- cal revelation of the American lq- uor traffic and of gangster meth ods. It presents gangster life in a hilarious vein.
 Langdon and Summerville were selected for the comedy team with Miss Love portraying the character of a cabaret singer and the sweet heart of gang leader.
 Rivalled Rogue's Gallery
 The casting department of Uni versal ran a close race with the police rogue's gallery in rounding up gangster types" for the picture. Extras, whose ugly faces are the!r fortune, figuratively speaking, were in constant demand for killer roles. The studio took on the ap- pearance of Americas widest gangster rendezvous with it's scores of tough characters, machine guns and trucks.
 Langdon and Summerville are mistaken for two gunmen hired by a gang of liquor runners to put rival leader on the spot"
 Comical Mix-ups Produced
 They become implicated in the affairs of the two gangs with re- suits that produce comical mix-ups.
 A colorful night club scene, a street battle between rival gang sters, hijacking of a liquor truck under a fusillade of bullets are some of the scenes in the picture.
 The story was written by Vim Moore and Edward Luddy. The supporting cast includes Mitchell Lewis, Stanley Fields, Tom Ken- nedy, Dick Alexander and Lloyd Whitlock. William James Craft directed.

financial and business structure.
 With Hoover's opinion in mind, perhaps, the dependence commis- sion is expected to present three alternative proposals.
 Under the first the islands would receive political autonomy at once. They would retain for ten years the privilege of free trade with the United States, allowing time to find new markets for Philippine products, replacing the markets that would be lost should the United States put it's tariff into ef- feet against Philippine sugar and cocoanut oil
 The second proposal would per- init more autonomous govern ment for the islands than now exists, continuation of free trade but with certain restrictions on the amount of exports to the United States, and, in 10 years, referendum among the Filipinos as to whether they desired complete independence.
 The third proposal would seek complete independence It is b. lieved in some quarters that this will not be asked unless the other proposals fail

 These represent the passive youth of Germany, but with the trend, politics is becoming their ab- sorbing interest. Once they leave these folds, it is to join the fiery enthusiasts of the extremist "de- fensive and combative" associa- tiOns.
 The latter are semi military in character and are auxiliaries to the major political parties. They con- tain about 100000 youths, trained and disciplined in military fashion though they use walking sticks
 for guns.

AUTO RADIATOR
LEAK MAY MAR
VACATION TRIP
CIogged Cooling System Is
Frequent Cause of Motor
Trouble.

Many vacation trips planned far
in advance have been ruined be-
cause of a clogged or leaky auto
mobile radiator.
Many of the troubles so common
to motors in automobiles can be
traced to clogged radiators. If water
can not circulate because of rust,
slime, sludge or oil, the motor runs
hot, breaking down the oil in the
crank case regardless of how good
it may be or when it was put in,
and burned out bearings are the
direct result.
Experts, after repairing hundreds
of motors with this trouble and
tearing apart hundreds of radiators,
say that many burned out bearings
attributed to poor oil or lack of suf-
f1cient oil, really can be traced to
clogged radiators.
Because of the ever presence of
some form of radiator cloggers, the
cooling system of car should be
flushed often, at periodic intervals,
according to the Reed-Mueller
Radiator Company, 111-119 Ken

Because of the vital importance
OF properly cleaning radiators, and

STEADY GROWTH
is REPORTED BY
INSURANCE FIRM
indianapolis Company Has
$4,000, 900 in Force in
Home City.

1t always is a matter of great
satisfaction to the people Of Indian
spolis to note the growth of home
institutions. Probably nowhere else
are the pride and satisfaction taken
in local enterprises more in evil
dence.
The growth of the indianapolis
Life Insurance Company, therefore,
is very gratifying to the community.
Starting in 1905, the company has
had quarter century of steady adj
vancement, until today it has S23,-
600, 900 insurance in force in the
city Of indianapolis, and SAT 100000
in the state of Indiana
This, in itself is a compliment to
the company. When local men who
know the personnel Of the institu-
ton are glad to avail themselves of
its policies and willing to partici-
pate as owners in the company, no
further evidence can be asked of its
reliability and high standard Of
management.
President Frank P. Manly is
gratined with the last six months
business, which has shown a most
satisfactory growth. In fact, May
was the largest month in the his
tory of the company.
In the last six months the COM
pany gained in insurance in force
So, 165, 1865 and in assets 1895, O22.92.
In this time it paid dividends to
policy holders amounting to $240, 706,
and death claims of $3.50, 1864.
AS an evidence of the care with
which the affairs of the company
are managed, the deaths were only
40 per cent Of the normal expecta-
tions.
The company offers "a number of
most attractive contracts and poll
cies, giving simple low cost family
protection for the future in the form
of endowment policies, retirement
annuities, or investment income
bonds, with many variations in the
forms of the policies to fit individ-
ual needs.
