African Picture
At Fox Imperial

Bringing the African jungle al
most to the family fireside, Tar
zan the Ape Man" which opened
last night at Fox Imperial theatre
for a three day stay, is a splendid
lesson in the animal kingdom and
interesting as a romantic film.
Johnny Weismuller, world S
champion swimmer, has the lead
ing role of "Tarzan," with Maureen
.OSulliYan cast opposite him. Weis-
Muller tackles lions and leopards
in mortal combat, using only a
knife as his weapon, swings through
the trees with agility and speed,
and arrives at the psychological
time to rescue the girl and her
friends when they are about to be
killed by pygmy tribe.
Running close to the humans in
the picture for honorS is an ape
Of almost human intelligence, who
is comedian and hero in one. His
antics cause plenty of laughs and
he draws cheers from the young
Sters when he tears through the
jugle on rescue missions.
Fighting a herd of hippopotami,
repelling an alligator attack and nu-
merous other brushes with animals
provide plenty Of thrill throughout
the film.
Especially good is the photog-
raphy, which shows many difficult
shots as the ape man and animals
swing through the trees.
While "Tarzan" compels one to
draw freely on the Imagination, it
is good entertainment.

UNCLE WIGGnY'S MAY
FLOWER

One day. rs Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy was down in the kitchen
of the rabbit gentleman's hollow
stump bungalow, she heard Uncle
Wiggily up in his room singing 4
song like this:
They ought to be up! They
ought to be up! They ought to be
up this morning."
Whats the matter, Mr.. Long
earS?' asked the muskrat lady
houSekeeper. Aren't your little
bunny children getting up to go 10
the Hollow Stump School?"
oh. yes. Jingle, Jangle, Spingle,
Spangle and all the other girl and
boy rabbits are getting up all
right" said Uncle Wiggily. "They
will soon be on their way to recite
their lessons to the Lady Mouse
Teacher" Then he sang again:
They ought to be up! They
ought to be upl They ought to be
up this morningl
Dear mel What can that rab-
bit gentleman be singing about?'
murmured Nurse Jane. AS the only

way she could find out was by ask
ing, she called up the stairs to
Uncle Wiggily: What is going to
be us this morning?"
The May flowers!" was the
laughing answer. You know the
old saying: April showers bring
May flowers. This is now the
merry month of May. April is
past, and brought us many
showers. So now, this morning, in
the beginning of May, I'm going
out TO see if I can find some
flowers"
It's a bit early" said Nurse
Jane as she finished setting the
table SO the bunny children might
eat their breakfast. But I wish
you good luck"
After the bunnies had gone to
school and after he had eaten his
own breakfast, Uncle Wiggily
hoped away over the fields and
through the woods looking for a
May flower after the April shower
All of a sudden, as he was hop
ping along, Mr.. Longears saw
May Bug crawling in the grass. A
May Bug is a cousin to the June
Bug, only it has spots on its wings
instead OF stripes. The May Bug
was singing a jolly song about how
once a rubber dollie was ironing
her clothes when she stumbled IN
the bath tub and bumped her
funny nose.
Good morning, May Bug" called
the rabbit gentleman.
Good morning, Uncle Wiggily,"
buzzed the little spotted creature.
Have you seen any May flowers
this morning?' asked Mr.. Long

Thanks, I'll go pick some said
Uncle Wiggily. Thank you for
telling me about Them
You are quite welcomed" buzzed
the bug, who went on singing n
song about once a little doggie
stood upon his head and walked
that way to a candy store to buy
a loaf OF bread.
It did not take Uncle Wiggily
long to reach the grassy place

THE .M4SSIE VERDICT

uAWAlIS PROBLEM does not seem to
IL have been improved any by the Mas
sic verdict and the undercurrent Of trou-
bic is such that every precaution is being
taken by the authorities to prevent a
racial disturbance.
1t is easy to sympathize with the four
Americans who have been found guilty
of manslaughter, and with their friends
who resent the verdict brought against
them.
But these same friends are in fair
way to do all concerned a great deal of
harm. Such things as planning to boy
colt the firms employing the members
of the Jury are un-American and If per-
sisted in, will eventually lose the accused
much of the sympathy they now have.
The preponderance of Caucasians on
the jury prevents the claim that the ver-
dict was a prejudiced one Those who
advocate retaliation on the iurymen
overlook the fact that the latter had
taken an oath to decide the case on its
merits and had not sworn to find for
or against the accused.
No jury verdict can be agreeable to all.
If it is against the accused his friends
consider it unfair. and if it is against the
state, others think the same thing.
One may be highly dlSSauSfled with
the verdict of a jury and express such
an opinion, but seeking public retalia-
tion against iurymen for the verdict they
have returned, is quite beyond the pale.
MasSie and the other defendants shook
hands with the prosecutor before the
verdict was returned and assured him
they had no hard feelings against him.
He had merely done his duty. They

The property belonged to Marcot

MISSOURI DRY PLAN
WILL BE PRESS J
Gov. Caulfeld Announces Aoi a
to Be Taken at @. 0. p
Convention.

Gov. Henry s. Caulfield Of Missouri
declared here yesterday that the "ls.--
souri, compromise" plan for meet irz
the prohibition issue would be pressed
in the Resolutions Committee Of tie
Republican National Convention by
the Missouri delegation, of which he
and Arthur M. Hyde, Secretary OF
Agriculture, are leaders.
The assertion was taken to mean
that the Missouri leaders and those
administration supporters behind them
are satisfied With the reaction to their
plan. It was regarded as a trial ball
loon" when adopted by the State con-,
ventiOn at st. Louis nearly two weeks
ago and Secretary Hyde. upon his re-
turn to washington, had said it would
net necessarily, be proposed as a model
for the national plank but had been
offered as Missouri Republicans con-
tribution to the effort to solve the
problem.
The principle has been discussed
among administration and other Re-
publican leaders prior to its adoption
at st. Louis under the quiet direction
OF Secretary Hyde.
The Republican leadership is far
from unanimous for the plan. It is
clear that resubmiSsionists in the ad-
miniStration are divided about it, but
the leaders who have been sounding
out sentiment on the proposal for sew
eral weeks and trying to arrange q
compromise between vets and drys,
profess to have been encouraged by the
reaction to the Missouri action.

Republican wet, Davis, and the Demo-

however. insist they have given the
proposal no thought; that they are con-
centrating alone on nominating But

Another bit of gossip and speculation
places Pinchot at the head of an indie
pendent. dry presidential ticket in the
event the G. o. P. national convention
and the Democratic national conven-
ton both place wet planks in their
platforms The same gossip holds that
under such circumstances, Butler would

for his refusal to support Alfred E.
Smith for President in 1928.
Senator Black spent the greater part
Of his long speech in assailing the con-
clusions of Hastings. The Delaware
Senator was frequently on his feet, pro-
testing against Blacks version of the
report.
Black declared the gist of the Hast
ings. report was that Bankhead should
be unseated because some of the voters
marked their ballots with "a pencil in
stead of pen" and because some of
the ballots were folded instead Of
rolled"
Hastings reminded that the law re-
quired that ballots be marked with a
pen and that they be rolled.
Black contended that such "hair-
splitting was outrageous when it is re-
called that it is the chief reliance in
attempting to overturn the will of the
electorate of Alabama"
