PETER RABBIT HUNTS FOR
THE HOME OF RATTLES

DETER RABBIT was both happy
and unhappy. That is d funny
way to be. isn't 1t? But 1t was true.
He was happy because he was trying
to satisfy his curiosity. He Is always
happy when he Is trying to do this
And he was unhappy because he didn't
know how to go about it. You see
he was trying to find the home of Rat
ties the Kingfisher and he didn't know
just where to look for it. He knew
very little about Rattles, who lives
very much by himself and has little
to do with the rest of the Quaddies
Peter had been told that Rattles
makes his home In hole In the
ground. At first he didn't believe 1t.
The idea of a bird living In the
ground But when Grandfather Frog
said 1t was true Peter had to believe
1t because he has the greatest respect
for what Grandfather Frog says What

ELECTRIC EYE
Finds Fourteen Newspaper
Plant Jobs

New York City (ILNS)-The cleo
trio eye keeps looking for new jobs
and it seems to keep on finding them.
How many men will find themselves
stared right out of their jobs into the
breadline by the CLINT in the electric
eye remains to be seen, but the por-
tent is uncomfortable.
Fourteen uses for the electric eye
were shown to printing trades-14
uses in the printing trades, affecting
pressmen, linotype operators and
photo-engravers. They included safety
devices also and devices for match
ing colors.
In relation to the work of skilled
workers the devices included auto
matte typesetting from typewriter
copy, automatic control of printing
register and of trimming, and auto
matte stops for web presses in cases
of breakage of paper.
But observers were most astounded
by Walter Howey's device for rapid
photo-engraving without acid. En-
cravings were made at almost in
credible speed and at cost said to be
one cent per square inch for one-color
plates, five cents for three-color
plates. Engravings are made at a
rate of about 10 square inches per
minute. The electric eye scans
photo, drawing or painting held on
cylinder. Variations of current due
to shadings on the picture are am
plifed to a power that drives a motor
with an engraver's tool which digs
into the surface of the zinc, repro
ducing the lines or lights and
shadows. This process had months
trial in one newspaper plant, with
varying results. The inventor, Walter
Howey, is veteran newspaper man
with mechanical aptitude.

his neighbors is hardly worth know
ing, for he Is very old and accounted
very wise.
He had told Peter that he didn't
know just where the home Of Rattles
was, because 1t was none of his busi-
ness, and that If he had known he
wouldn't have told Peter, because 1t
was none of Peters business. This
was quite true, but | suspect that 1t
made Peter all the more anxious to
find that home Peter is always inter-
ested In the affairs of other folks.
He just cannot seem to help it. So
he made up his mind to find the home
of Rattles if it took him all summer.
He began to suspect that 1t might.
Hunting for a particular hole In the
ground without any idea where 1t was
likely to be was a good deal like hunt
ing for a needle in a haystack. You
see there are so many holes in the
ground, some in the Green Forest,
some in the Green Meadows, some in
the Old Orchard, some in the Old Pas
ture, some around the Smiling Pool,
some along the Laughing Brook,
though he had never been there, he
suspected that there were some along
the Big River.

big SIX"
Seeks Strike Sanction From
Typos Chief

New York City (ILNS)-Strike
sanction has been asked of Interna-
tional Typographical Union officers
by Union No. 6 here for walkout in
job shops owned by members of the
Printers League section of the New
York Employing Printers Associa-
ton. The strike sanction would oper-
ate, under the motion adopted by No.
6, against shops that refuse arbitra-
tion of wages, hours and working
conditions, and only when such shops
put into effect the wage scale rejected
by the union. About 5000 No men,
bers are employed in job shops.
The vote for requesting strike
sanctino was 2,607 to 283. In a meet
ing attended by 1000 the remainder
could not vote, for various reasons.
The rejected scale was formulated
by negotiators, among whom Inter
national President Charles P. Howard
represented the union.
Vice President Daniel ]. Macauley
Of No. 6 headed opposition to the
strike movement, while former Presi-
dent Leon Rouse led the pro-strike
forces. 1t was Rouse who offered an
amendment providing for arbitration
of differences between the employers
and the union. The vote to request
strike sanction does not mean
strike, even in the event of sanction,
unless the union later determines such
action necessary.
The schedule rejected by the union
on October 10 has been posted in
Printers League shops as now effec-
tive. 1t calls for an eight per cent
reduction for day men and 13 per
cent reduction for night work. Day
men would work 40 hours week in
stead of IA and would be paid $50
week, a 81 reduction For night men,
working 40 hours, the reduction would
amount to SO. President Howard has
indicated that the international does
not consider strike sanction possible.

PROHIBITION
REFERENDUMS
By LEEDS BRONSON
Vice-Commander

Since the advent of national prohi-
bition, twenty referendums on various
phases of this annoying problem
have been held in dozen states. In
nine, the drys were victorious; all of
their victories, however, were prior
to 1927. Since that time, whenever the
people have had an opportunity to
express themselves directly on the
noble experiment, they have voted it
down. 1t is sign of the peoples re-
volt against national shopping in To-
cal affairs that more states are hold
ing referendums in 1882 than during
any six years of prohibition.
The states which now have no en-
forcement acts plus those which will
surely protest against prohibition
this November have total popula-
tion of 67,106,O51.
This includes Illinois, Indiana and
Virginia. The legislature in the for
mer repealed it's enforcement laws
but had them vetoed in 1880 by their
governor; Indiana took most of the
teeth out of the Wright dry day. Then
Virginia recently modified the harsh
provisions of its local enforcement
act.

Old AgePensiOn Referendum
Before Voters of Missouri

st. Louis, Mo.-Under the constitu-
tion of the state of Missouri the leg
islature cannot enact an old age pen
pension law. To remedy this defect,
all of the Missouri labor unions, the
clergy, business men, professional
men and public officials are conduct
ing a campaign in favor of adopting
by referendum vote an enabling act
which will give the legislature the
authority it now lacks.
The voters will act on the refer
endum at the November election.
Trade unionists and other forward
looking citizens express the convic-
ton that the referendum will be
adopted, and thus place Missouri in
line for an adequate old age pension
system.

LAST TWO DAYS OF MARIE

Marie Dressler, who alternates successfully between comedy and stirring character portrayals, has brought a blend of both to the screen in Emma, now playing at the Fox-Poi Palace.
 Although there are plenty of laughs in her latest story, Emma" stands out as picture which gives Miss Dressler the greatest acting opportunities of her career. There were very few dry eyes in the the- ater when Miss Dressler finished her pathetic scene in which she is placed on trial for murder Inci- dentally, this is the stars first straight character portrayal since her work in Min and Bill" the picture which won her the Acad- emy award for the best perform ance of any actress in 1881.

Husbands Holiday" and "FIying

Paramount has convened an- other one of it's all-favorites casts for "Husband's Holiday" the mod ern triangle-dram based on Ernest Pascars novel and play, The Marriage Bed" which will be seen at New Garden theater to-day for the last times.
 Clive Brook, whose artistry is of such a high calibre that he has never yet drawn an adverse criti- que from any major writer, heads the big cast as the central figure George Boyd, a romantic minded husband who runs away from, rather than faces the boredom of middle-class married life.
 The part of Mary Boyd, his wife is played by Vivienne Osborne, the Lukas' "old girl friend in "The Beloved Bachelor"
 Charlie Ruggles, the droll come dian of "The Girl Habit The Be- loved Bachelor" and many other successes, is seen in a whimsical portrayal as Clyde Saunders, one of the many meddlesome "in-laws" of this play.
 A queer new kind of airplane, a dumb inventor, and a waitress who has a yen to marry an aviator, are hilariously tossed together in Flying High" which is the com- panion feature, one of the funniest talkies seen in months.
 A supporting number of short subjects make this one of the best bills of the season Coming to- morrow is "Rich Mans Folly with George Bancroft and One Roman tic Night with Lillian Gish, Conrad Nagel and Marie Dressler.

GRETA CARED IN "MATA HART" AND WILL ROGERS IN TALKIE HIT ON DUAL
 DRnE,R AT, STIR MI

Today and tomorrow at Warner Brothers Strand patrons will be treated to two charming pictures. Greta Garbo in her sensational triumph "Mata Hari" and Will Rogers in his comedy hit "Young As You Feel"
 Greto Garbo and Ramon Nov arro appear together for the first time in "Mata Hari."
 "Mata Hari," however, is more than a mere combination of stars. It achieves the eminence of an suspicious cinema occasion in en- tertainment value. Produced up- on a lavish scale, it boasts a glam- orous romance that runs the gamut of emotionalism and strikes deep into the sympathies of the audience with final scene un- equalled in dramatic potency.
 The plot is based upon the life and loves of the notorious World War spy who meets her death be- fore French firing squad for her career of intrigue and adventure.
