PROCESS OF SOFTENING MAKES
cows MILK BETTER FOR BABIES

through tanks of this sand loses the
calcium and the magnesium which
makes it hard"
When cows milk is filtered through
these sands, the announcement states,
about 20 per cent of its calcium is re-
moved. This calcium is described as
the element in milk responsible for
formation in the stomach of the large
digestive curds which give very young
babies the colics and other ailments
that parents and physicians all recog-
nize.
Human milk forms only small curds,
of the kind technically named soft
curds." The Ohio experiments show
that when cows milk is softened by
removing enough of its calcium. it no
longer forms large curds, but only the
smaller variety.

London Newspaper Expresses view
Regarding U. S. Program.
LONDON, October 80 (P.-That the
United States decision to buy gold
abroad may result in driving all the
gold standard countries off gold was
among the views briefly expressed in
London morning newspapers.
Comments on President Roosevelts
announcement were hurried, as the
news reached London after the finan-
cial columns were mostly filled.
While the announcement did not
cause surprise in financial quarters, the
actual procedure America will adopt
was awaited with some anxiety in view
of its probable reaching effects.
The financial editor of the London
Daily Mail said it was probable that
the dollar will depreciate both against
sterling and gold currencies." He saw
likelihood that the pound will depre-
ciate against the franc and the sterling
price of gold will rise.
See Fall in Dollar.
He further predicted it would be likely
to entail the selling of dollars to ac-
quire foreign currency with which to
pay for gold, and therefore the dollar
is likely to depreciate and commodity
prices rise anyway temporarily"
The Financial Times said, 1T will set
in motion a new train of forces, includ-
ing depreciation of the external value of
the dollar, further rise in the internal
price level and threat to industrial
monetary stability in other countries" !"
The Herald said, "One of the first
consequences may be fierce currency
war between the United States and
Great Britain"
The paper charged that other coun
tries have been deliberately operating to
prevent President Roosevelt'S gold plan
from succeeding.
There are good grounds for believing
that the Bank of England in CO.

FURTHER REPR|EvE
GRANTED CONVICT
Execution Stay Extended to
November "a to Permit New
Probe of Washington.

President Roosevelt today extended
the reprieve of Charles Edward Wash
ington, convicted colored murderer,
whose life was spared four minutes be-
fore his scheduled electrocution last
Friday to November "a to permit further
investigation of his case.
A personal telephone call from the
President to Thomas NJ Rives. super
intendent of the District Jail, saved
Washington from the chair last Friday
morning. The first reprieve was to be
in effect until 2 pm. today. Before
noon this morning. however, Solicitor
General James c. Biggs advised Mr..
Rives of the new presidential order.
No time limit was set, but it is under
stood approximately three weeks will be
allowed for inquiry into the case.
Robinson Electrocuted Friday.
William c. Robinson, confessed trig-
ger man in the murder of Mamie Solo
mon, taxi driver, paid the death penalty
on Friday morning. He already knew
that one of the two colored men con-
demned with him, Leonard Dayton, had
received q communication to life i'm
prisonment. but he was not told before
he died that washington had obtained
a reprieve.
Mr. Rives said this morning he prob
ably would not have ordered the exc
cution of Washington carried out to-
day even if no further stay had been
forthcoming from the White House. He
wanted first to be sure Of the proper
legal procedure involved, because an
executive order was introduced into the
case, the Jail superintendent said.
1t was learned at the Department of
Justice today that the recommendation
for delay in the execution of Wash
ington was based not on any startling
new evidence, but on desire of the de-
partment to make fair check on all
phases of evidence in the light of the
last statment made by Robinson to his
spiritual adviser, Rev. James L. Finn.
In his eleventh-hour statement. Rob-
inson assumed full responsibility for
firing the shot that killed Solomon and
declared Washington was walking
away from the scene of the crime at the
instant of the shooting.
Held Away From Crime
At the murder trial, Washington s
chief defense was that he was away
from the taxicab in which the crime
was committed, on his way to join the
other member of the trio in the shoot
inc, Layton, who was on the other side
of the street. Because of Layton,s de-
parture from the cab, his sentence was
commuted to life Imprisonment several
weeks ago.
1t was pointed out at the Department
of Justice today there were no wit
nesses to the crime except Robinson,
Washington and Layton and that,
therefore, the reconsideration of the
case must hinge on the stories told by
this trio.
Absence from the city of Attorney
General Cummings, who has been han
ding appeals for communication in this
case, is said to have played a part in
the decision to postpone determine
ton in the case of Washington. In
the meantime, the matt, will be given
careful study by J. Crawford Biggs
solicitor general, who is acting as At
torney General in the absence of Mr.
Cummings, and James A. Finch, pardon
attorney for the Department Of Justice.

ED WYNN AS FIRE CHIEF

Comedian Keeps Up Rapid-Fire

legion-in all probability know him,

tions of a few seasons past, but as the

Wynn as the same Fire Chief he ex-

plain his being fire chief and some Of

is Mr.. ''Gasoloon'' MacNamee? We re-
gret to say that he, and only he Of the
persons and personalities associated
with Wynn in the past year. is miss
ing. Instead, there is a very far from
MacNamee voice clubbing for him and
it provides the only disappointing fea-
ture. Most of Mr.. Wynn's humor is
forced to find other targets, some of
the latter not responding in the breezy
manner as has been Graham's custom,
thereby leaving little to be desired if

tended to be, anything like his broad

The continuity of Mr.. Wynn's cinema
Is almost Identical to that of his famed
operas on the air, completely and irrev-
ocably foolish. Such personalities as
Dorothy Mackail, William Stage Boyd
and Chic Sale also have somewhat to do
with what goes on in The Chief" and
at times they seem bit put out at the

visits his home Is asked 10 sign his
name.
George Raft has framed panels con-
tanning the signatures Of the famous,
friends, he has an autographed photo

Bing Crosby is gradually filling the
wall space in his Beverly Hills home
with signatures Of his co-workers, and
when each panel is filed Bing has it

Jack Oakie collects his autographs

MUSIC STARS
CAPTURE THE
FOX PROGRAM
Julia SandersOn and
Frank Crlln1it in
PretentiOuS ACt.

JULIA SANDERSON, noted singer of
- the music that charms, and Frank
! Crunlit, master of the material of
which good musicians are made, capture
the Fox Theater stage this week with
their generously arranged act, which ef-
| fectively covers the field of modern
music. Miss Sanderson is among those
artists who combine graceful stage
presence with acquaintance which ex-
tends to the best that the stage has to
offer, while her radio popularity assures
a welcome from all audiences. The two
are assisted by pair OF Instrumental
lists and offer much variety in their act.
Their ability to establish intimate con-
| tact with their audiences gives added
force to what they have to offer, with
quality in their appeals to those who
appreciate tuneful selections. One i'm
portant feature Of their act is the sing
ing by Miss SanderSon OF several OF the
songs that have been created in con-
nection with her successful career on
the stage.
The motion picture at the Fox IS
women in His Life" which gives a
central place 10 Otto Kruger In q story
dealing with the always dramatic field
of the practice of law in the criminal
courts. Una Merkel, leading member OF
the supporting company, first won pub
lie attention with ability to reveal a
strong feminine type of forceful beauty.
Since then she has been cast for many
comedy roles in which her singular per-
sonality carried much interest. In the
present play she undertakes more seri-
Gus acting, but retains her sense OF
hunor, with the result that she con-
1l,, ko tha nf Mr.
Kruger. Ben Lyon, Isabel Jewell, Z.
Henry Gordon and Irene Franklin also
are cast in drama which involves the
purpose to save an innocent man from
the electric chair. 1t is not until he is
about to receive the current that means
death, that pardon is brought about
through executive intervention.
Chief dramatic interest is created by
the fact that the lawyer represented by
Mr.. Kruger has been the devoted hus-
band of the woman who was supposed
to have been killed by her second hus-
band because of her unfaithfulnesS. Mr..
Kruger attempts to find the real slayer
by pretending to serve the underworld
and finally achieves his purpose. 1t is
a play of dramatic interest.
In addition to the leading act men
toned, the stage program at the Fox
includes Harry Rose, in unique comedy;
Joe and Pete Michon, known as the
"two fall guys" with acrobatic comedy
in the garb of sailors: the California
Revels, featuring Costello and Lee,
two dancers of new type who put
color and vivacity into their contribu-
ton; Geraldine, a remarkably supple
performer; the three Byrne sisters and
Margie Greene, the whole making up a
very picturesque musical and dancing
feature.
The orchestra, under Phil Lampkin,
plays the outstanding songs Of 1888.

FILM, "DINNER
At EIGHT,'' is
PALACE SHOW
Famous Production
Offered Once More
in Washington.

p ETURN of the all-star film, Din
~ ner at Eight" to Washington gives
the Palace Theater an attraction which
opened yesterday with large audiences.
Its magnetic influence is exerted
through the rapid succession of scenes
in which there are always some screen
players of marked ability before the au-
dience, almost anywhere on the film.
working out plot Of social and busi-
ness affairs with a healthy sense of
humor.
The plot itself has value. and is
matched with the understanding of
human nature possessed by practically
all of the cinema stars selected for the
play.
Dinner at Eight" has none of the
commonplace magnificence that is eX-
pected of the so-called super-flm, no.
does it present the thrill of a great
problem. Its merit is, in the wealth
of talent in the hands of q company
which would have great difficulty in
going wrong under any circumstances.
Casual contacts that they have with
each other give pleasure to those who
are privileged to look on, while. because
of this phase of the presentation, the
play is like a large spreading city,
made up of little circles which are
combined to create an impressive COM
munity. Small groups of actors en-
tertain with their wise remarks, and
the several scenes. like jig-saw puzzle,
when fitted with each other, illustrate
the drama combining society, which
has a selfish basis, and business, which
Is a struggle for control.
Marie Dressler has developed a ro-
bust interest in people which pushes
her to the front as means of en-
couraging the weary or the diSap-
pointed and depressed. John Barry
more. always the moving actor, shows
the tragedy of the professional man
who has forgotten the kind of labot
that is able to create success. Wallace
Beery and Jean Harlow, as a couple
of fighting climbers, win distinction
that gains emphasis from their striking
types and unrestrained displays of
vigorous character. Billie Burke puts
strong social quality and cheerful
modesty into an unparalleled picture
of the ambitious hostess, while Lionel
BarrYD1Ort, Lee Tracy and Edmund
Lowe. with Madge Evans. Karen Nor
ley, Jean Hersholt and Phillips Holmes
fill their own definite places.
1t is a story Of many sided contacts
among people who are worth while,
acted by worthwhile performers, and it
is pleasing to know that such people
ultimately save a fine old shipping
company from ruin.
The Palace also has a Grantland
Rice calendar of sports covering the
months of the year, the regular news
reel and the cartoon comedy.
