A SAILORS LIFE FOR SLIM
PROVES DOGS LIFE FOR ZASU

How would you feel il you were
man who longed for a life on
the open sea, and were filed with
contempt for the ram-shackle fer
ry boat which served your home
town, only to learn that your wife
had spent your entire joint earn
ings to make you a present-of the
ferry?
And how much worse would IL
be If you didn't know anything
about it until after the despised
ferry boat had exploded at its
pier, and you sneered at the insane
foolishness Of the man whom you
thought had bought the dilapidated
old tub?
This is a situation which con-
fronts Slimm Summerville in "Her
First Mate" the hilarious Univer-
sal comedy which comes to the
Liberty Theatre on Sunday. ZaSu
Pitts, his wife in the picture, has
secretely bought the ferry as a
means Of making him quit his job
on a gay Albany River night boat,
and inducing him to spend his
nights at home. And she doesn't
know that he has already been
fired, anyhow.
Supporting Summerville and
Miss Pitts in this newest fun-film
are Una Merkel, Berton Churchill,
Warren Hymer, Henry Armetta,
George Marion and other screen
favorites.

P. M. C. FRESHMEN 40; w.
NOTTINGHAM IL

Playing at Chester on Jan.
q, the West Nottingham bask-
etball team met their second
setback of the current season
when they succumbed to the
attack of the P. M. G. Fresh
men and were beaten 40 to II.
The Nottingham team appear
ed lost in the initial period and
failed to score a point while
the cadets garnered Is. How
ever in the second and third
periods the w. N. A. outscored
their rivals II to s and once
again the Nottingham team
was in the game but Stiteler
was put out of the game on
fouls and ]. Metzgar had three
against him. Since the elegi-
bility rules and sickness had
caused the majority of the re-
serves and at least one of the
regulars to be absent, the Not
tingham defense and attack
collapsed after this. Russell,
the P. M. G. center led the scor-
ing with IL points.

BAY BRIDGE PLANS

Early action by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation
on the Chesapeake Bay bridge
project is foreshadowed as
Governor Richie has moved to
meet all but one of the terms
suggested by the Federal au-
thorities as prerequisites to
further consideration of the
Sc, 100000 loan asked for the
spans construction.
The Governor sent John
Lyle Harrington, chief en-
gineer of the r. F. c., a letter
stating that, if the r. F. C. first
would promise to grant the &c.
100000 loan requested by the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Com
pany. he would recommend to
the General Assembly that the
State agree to-:
Build the necessary ap-
proaches at an estimated cost
of $640,000 of which $480,000
already is available.
Waive taxes on the $7,500,-
900 enterprise.
Maintain, operate and insure
the span, which annual ex-
pense, estimated at $15C, 900,
would be taken from road
funds.
Eventually assume perma-
nent ownership of the bridge at
no cost to the State, when the
r. F. c. loan and all junior Sc
curities had been paid off out
of tolls.
The one consideration to
which he would not agree was
that the State indemnify the
ferry companies for whatever
losses they might sustain as a
result of competition from the
bridge.
