4 STANDARD dictionary defines
IA cloudburst as "a sudden CO.
pious rainfall, rs if the whole cloud
had been precipitated at one time"
AS a matter of fact, if a cloud Of
the largest size were, by miracle,
precipitated at one time, coming
down at the maximum speed of
falling raindropS, it would not cause
a torrential shower, such as is COM
monty described as a cloudburst;
but Of course the comparatively
small amount that clouds some
times actually burst and discharged
their entire watery load at once
upon the earth.
This idea is learnedly set forth
in quaint little German work by
Christian Weise, published in 1701,
as well as in many later works.
The earlier scientific attempts to
account for the tremendous down.

ton in the vortex of a tornado or
waterspout, and hence the name
''waterspout" was formerly often
applied to a cloudburst, even when
it occurred far from any body of
water.
The rainfall attending tornado
is doubtless sometimes of cloud
burst intensity, but the majority of
cloudbursts now are believed to be
the product of thunderstorms.
Violent uprushing currents of air
always occur at the front of an adj
vancing thunderstorm.

COLDS THAT DEVELOP
INTO PNEUMONIA

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with two-fold ac-
ton; it soothes and heals the inhamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog.
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
In addition to creosote, other healing ele-

THE POLITICAL HORIZON

VOTE EARLY! Study the ballot
before going to the polls; keep in
mind when voting to nominate can

women, to do your public service and
and remember that mistakes made

Killed The Goose

Picture stars have killed Wash
ington as a soft money date. Too
many have went floppo after get
ting staggering salaries. Lilyan
TaShman's debacle is blamed on
laziness or unwillingness to make
the wardrobe changes audiences
came for. Ben Lyon was another
flop. Eddie Cantor must go else
where for his $500 a week and
Victor McLaglen was a box office
disappointment. The list of those
who failed to live up to their
reputation is as long as your arm.
There are a good many reasons
assigned for the failures, but none
better than the majority of the
acts went on the assumption any
thing will do for these movie
houses. 1t means washington,
for while at least, will have few,
if any, So-called big name acts
until they have actually demon
strated pulling power at the
box office.

Blow For Jack

1t was Garbo who gave her old
flame, John Gilbert, the cruelest
kick of all. Irving Thalberg had
Jack scheduled to make love to
Greta in Grand Hotel" But
the Swede said positively and
absolutely no. So John Barry
more got the job which might
have brought Gilbert back to the
front rank. Another Language, :"
the play which suffered here, is
the only drama on Broadway
for which you now must pay a
premium for tickets. The
brokers have bought the house
for the next four weeks. The
producer who limped out of
Washington has a solid hit on
his hands with two movie pro-
ducers bidding for his play.
Stephen Erlanger Cochran has
placed a bid for the original
Grand Hotel" stage production
which folds up forever next Sat
urday night at Newark. He plans
to present the play after his reg
ular subscription season and
after the picture engagement is
completed. That is if they &C
cept the Cochran proposal.

Hinda NASSAU Is
Star at Cayety

Lured through the turnstiles by
the magic name of Kinda Was
sau, "The Empress of Notion" !"
Gayety patrons yesterday were
treated to a great burleSque con-
coction such as only Jimmy Lake,
himself, can prepare.
The platinum blond of bur.
lesque has the same appeal she al
ways had, and this coupled with
the announcement that she is
soon to start rehearsing for a
Broadway show, should attract her
legion of admirers.
Hinda, however, is far from be-
ing the whole show. There is, for
instance, Georgia Southern, dy-
manic guest star, and Jeannette
AllabasSi, brunette, who wiz )
popularity with each appearance.
Charlotte LaBurr, a holdover
from last week takes the laurels.
Miss LaBurr besides being good
looking, has nice voice, is
Shapely, and is chucked full of
personality.
Ann Myers, prima donna, and
Dot Alexander, a singer and
dancer, would head most any
other show.
Three of the classiest comedi-
ans on the circuit are here this
week in the persons of Billy
Fields, Lew Powers and Chuck
Callahan.
