Strong, which relates the adven-
turos Of O middle-western family
at q state fair, the film combines
double romance with grand COM
edy in an intimate story OF human
people. Two new love combina-
tons, Janet Gaynor and Lew Ayres
and Sally Eilers and Norman Fos-
ter, carry the double romance
which IL balanced by the inimitable
comedy Of Will Rogers. Rogers
Is aided in his fun making by
those noted stars Of stage comedy,
Louise Dresser, Craven and Jory.
Against the colorful background of
a big state fair with its side shows
and concessions, its teaming crowds
and spirited competitions, the abb
sorbing story unfolds. Daughter
with her desires, son with his
yearning love hunger, ma with her
pickles, and pa with his 900-pound
hog, all become involved in ro-
nance and adventure. In book
form, Estate Fair" won the Liter
airy Guild prize, attained sensation
al best-seller circulation, and was
syndicated for millions Of news
paper readers. AS picture,
brought to life by an array of the
screens greatest stars, and direct
ed by the veteran Henry King, 1t
should prove even more popular.
The companion feature Is Marlene
Dietrich in Song Of Songs" with
Brian Oherne. Lionel Atwill and
Alison Slipworth. The "Song of
Songs''--tte story of a beautiful
woman and her passionate pilgrim
age to her love Of loves. Also
on the bill are excellent short SUBJ
jects. An added attraction to-
morrow night will be Auction Cir
Gus. Thursday and Friday there
will be four big time vaudeville
acts added to the bill.

Warner Baxter and Myrna 10y, al
so Zane Greys ITO The Last Man"

heretofore. This new arrangement
will enable the management to

able everyone to see them. Many
patrons suggested this change say

definitely are numbered, in the
opinion of Fred Sargent, president
Of the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad.
Single unit gas and electric
locomotives Of various designs
gradually will supplant the iron
horse in both suburban and long
haul service, Sargent believes. The
single unit system Is more prac-
teal, flexible and economical than
either steam, or comprehensive
centrifugal electrified system.
Elaborate studies made by
Westinghouse and General Elec-
trio show that 1t would cost at
least $60,000,000 to electrify the
three suburban branches Of the
Northwestern with q fixed power
plant system" said Sargent.
II predict that within eight or
ten years, possibly sooner, the gas
units, or oil-electric engine will be
so far developed that 1t will take
the place Of steam on American
railways"

number of uses to which it is put.
Timbers TOR their homes are taken
from the trunk, and the leaves supply
material for thatched roofs. Sometimes
an entire hut Is made from the trees;
and such a hut is known as "fale
niu" or "coconut house"
Roots from coconut trees are employ
ed In the making Of fish traps and lob
ster pots. Leaves are woven into fans,
mats. baskets and sunshades.
Milk Of green coconuts Is a pleasant
drink, and Tongan may use it in
place Of water for weeks at a stretch
Meat Of the coconut is used for food,
and the shells take the place OF cups.
Ftbers for the making of rope are
obtained from the huisks around the
shells and the husks also serve as fuel
1t has been said that American meat
packers ''use everything in a pig ex-
cept the squeal," and it seems to me
that the Tongans do just as well with
the coconut tree. They are not able to
use the swish" Of the leaves when the
wind blows, but there is little else about
the tree, If anything, which is not made
to serve human needs. Even the swish
may supply pleasant sound as a ma
tive lies under q tree.

are not nearly so large as the Great
Pyramid OF Egypt, but some of them
are 200 feet square at the base.
On Tongatuba, largest of the Islands,
are the remains of huge gateway.
Composed Of three blocks of limestonc,
each block weighing many tons. The
upper level of the crosspiece is 19 feet
and 4 inches above the ground
How could such simple folk put to-
gether a gateway of that size? It is
not an easy question to answer. 1t had
to be done without the help of great
machines, by hand labor working with
a few simple tools. Ropes, levers and
rollers no doubt were used to move the
blocks.
Nowadays the Tonga natives do not
take the trouble TO move such burdens
around. Life goes along smoothly for
them, on their pleasant, sunlit islands
except at such times as nature breaks
into violence, bringing a hurricane or
the eruption of volcano.
