CITES CASE Of
DECEPTION
Montgomery County Groups

element which tries to get sup
port from various clubs and or.
ganizations in the county at the
expense of unfortunates who
really want to work, Miss Willie
Greene Day, executive secretary
of the Montgomery County Social
Service League, today made a
plea for coordination through the
league. .'.
Deception Cited
She cited the case of one WON.
an who wrote four letters to vari-
Gus community clubs in the
county, asking that they take
care of her family as she had
seven children, and her husband
has been without work for a year.
Investigation. by the league
showed that the husband did not
want to work, and that the fam
lily chose to live off others to
whom they wrote "if you give us
anything please don't tell any
body, as we do not want them to
know that we are in need"
To Prevent Duplication
Many Of the community clubs
Of the county this year are clear
ing their Chr istmas giving
through the league in order to
prevent duplication Of gifts.
The Sanitary Grocery Com
pany has donated $400, and the
Rockville Rotary Club has do
mated $50 which will be distri-
buted by experts of the league.

| Watertown's Cameo theater re- opens it's doors today and offers it's patrons the thrill of enjoyins
 the very latest development m
 sound motion pictures.
 During the past week, while the theater was closed. engineers in- stalled new R. c. A. Victor sound equipment. The Cameo is the sec- ond theater in the United States to | be equipped. thus far. with this marvellous new development i'll sound reproduction, the only other installation to date being that in the new Radio City in New York. Talking screen pictures are. pre- sented more perfectly with this new equipment that makes each
 spoken word clearly audible. m fact, the slightest whisper or faint est sound can be heard in every corner of the theater. This equipment. designed ana produced primarily as an experi-
 ment on New York's Radio City, has created such an impression among chain theater owners that many of them have placed orders with the manufacturers, the K. 2. A. Victor Company, to change over
 their houses.
 The Watertown Cameo man lagement ha sarranged a gala hoii- day program for Christmas with complete changes of program on Sunday and Monday.

Robinson in
 Cameo Feature

Five weeks at sea, hundreds of miles off the Mexican coast, with two of the finest tuna fishing boats in Pacific waters, were necessary to obtain the thrilling scenes that form the highlights of First Ma tionaIs picture, ''Tiger Shark" i" which is entertaining and amazing crowds daily at the Cameo theater. In addition to the pains taken to obtain impressive deep-sea action,
 the company spent days in the Portuguese fishing village at San
 Diego along the fish docks and in l the canneries of the industry, mak- ing possible the filming of almost every scene in the picture in au- | tfentic surrounds. The co-feature is "Okay Amer ica" starring Lew Ayers. This pic ture, 1t is said, reaches a high pitch of excitement when Ayres, in the character of Larry Wayne, runs afoul of New York gangsters. and daringly broadcasts news con- corning them which even the po- lice have been unable. to unearth. He solves mysterious Kidnapping lease, but in doing so brings about a situation which supplies cli- max of unusual power.
 The cast supporting Lew Ayres in "Okay America" includes Maur- cen O'Sullivan, Walter Catlett, Al | Ian Dinehart. Margaret Lindsey, Henry Armetta. Emerson Tracey, George Dow Clark, Marjorie Gate son and many others.

BUFFALO RACED
 TO CLIFF DEATH

Billings, Mont, (UP)-A low trail of stones, forming the arms of a V-shaped wedge having us apex on the verge of steep cliff' led thousands of buffalo to tneir death when they were plentirui on the Montana plains.
 Indians, who prized the buffalo for their meat and hides, would law out long rows of the stones, al- ways placing the wedge of the V at the brink of some precipitous
 Then they would ride, yelling and shouting, about a band or buffalo. and drive them into the wedge. The buffalo, blindly follow inr their leaders, would race down the V, never daring to step over the low lines of boulders. Then thev would plunge to their deaths, and the Indians would dispatch thew with tomahawks.
 Suuaws then took charge Of the kill, grinding the meat into pem- mican. smoking and drying other portions, making tepees and robes of the heavy fur, boats and war shields from the hide, moccasins. saddle blankets, leather thongs and thread.
 The skin also was used to make cups and plates, pans and dishes, while the horns were used for spoons, or to carry smouldering embers from which fires might be lighted when a family was on the move.
 Millions of buffalo were said to have dotted the t. plains in early days, and as late as 1889 a train was said to have been held up most of one day while 8 herd crossed a track.

cellaneous expenses in hand and to have held them in better check than in the past. This is indicated in the reports of the clerk of the house just filed,
 Speaker Garner dispensed with his official automobile when the democarts came into power. AL though his predecessor, Nicholas Longworth, died in April 1881. the speakers automobile was being charged with gas and repairs for months afterward. Six months af- ter Longworth died, bills for gaso- line averaging about 40 gallons Q month were being charged against the allowance for the speakers automobile. This was long after the speakers car had been sold. at bargain price, to the senate.
 Garner uses taxicab between the capitol and his hotel. Vice-Presi- dent Curtis and his hostess. Mrs Gam, continue to ride in the hand some limousine which the senate provides with chauffeur and trim mings. The chauffeur IS paid $160 month. The car uses about 250 gallons of gasoline a month.
 When democrats prepared to take over control of the house a little more than a year ago they laid in supply of AS hair brushes and IA cloth brushes.
 For Rep Joseph Byrns, dem, Tenn, who moved into the quarters of the appropriations committee of which he had just become chair man, the house brought brass and- irons and a fire set costing $44. Similar fireplace equipment was bought for Rep Prall, dem, N. Y. One of the old clerks reports for 1868, shows purchases of andirons and fireplace equipment costing $40, for each of several members, showing that times do not change.
 The senate side is more free with it's money. For about 50 members of the Capitol building special po- lice force maintained by the senate, 444 neckties were bought in the last year.

However, they are compelled to put in eight hours a day for seven days a week Regular Washington police have no Jurisdiction over the congress sional buildings.
