SEATTLE, June 29.- William Calvert, aged 65 years, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Pacific National Bank at Seattle and President of the San Juan Fishing and Packing O., died at his home early yesterday afternoon as the result of a heart attack caused by indigestion.

 As Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Pacific National

 are actively interested in the San
 Juan Fishing and Packing Go.

BY DAN THO
NEA Service Writer

Hollywood.-Inside dope on that new contract of Connie Bennett's -the girl who created such stir when she grabbed off q $30,000-a- week contract at Warmers two years ago for 10 weeks--reveals that Miss Bennett will receive $eo.- 900 each for four pictures annually.
 Added to this, she will share in the gross receipts of her pictures, thus giving her a chance to collect some $20,000 additional on each film. Then she has the privilege of making one picture 2 year away from Twentieth Century. That was taken care of for the first year when she signed to make a film for RKO at a flat salary of $100,000.
 In other words, during the com ing IF months she stands to col- Iect $420,000. That's considerable of q drop from $30,000 a week, but still she should be able to struggle along.

''Storm at Daybreak"
 Feature at State

Colorfp, different in it's back ground and import from the usual run of romances, "storm at Day. break" begins a 3-day run at the State to-day. We have had such a surfeit of American drawing room tales, that this story laid in the back country of Hungary dur ing the World war comes as a pleasant and invigorating surprise.
 The love story is particularly fascinating one, depicting the struggle of woman between loy- alty to her husband, old enough to be her father, and love for a dashing young cavalry officer. All the ingredients of powerful drama are here, intrigue, Jealousy, intense love and bitter hate. The colorful foreign settings, the rapid-fire action, and the thrilling climax in death over an embankment, all which forces the spectator to sit up and take notice.
 No little of the distinction of Storm at Daybreak" is due to its flawless acting. Kay Francis as the woman torn between loyalty and devotion plays the role with Q passionate ardor. Nils Asther does the best work of his career as the cavalry officer who Is forced to turn on his best friend, and Walter Huston, as the~husband, has a dif- ficult role, which he carries to su- perb heights in his final stirring scene of sclf-sacrifice.
 Phillips Holmes also gives a grand performance as a genial drunkard.
 The companion feature is "The Narrow Corner" with Douglas Fair banks, Jr, Patricia Ellis, Ralph Bellamy and big supporting cast.

 elsewhere. A paper mill turns out cartons and swrappings.
 Piles of ore and slag stand by

 sized creek now, meandering
 through the meadows. Here is one
 of the great airports of the coun- try, with Ford's own planes land- ing or taking off regularly. Almost adjacent is quaint Green
 field, with its buildings out of the past, its horse-drawn omnibuses
 and carriages, it's sense of the quiet | of a vanished day. And a quarter of a mile away lies the long, low
 laboratory building, trees and 8
 lake smiling before it's door, where Henry Ford works. Cross the Rouge now, a mile or
 so out Michigan avenue, and you are quickly in the country again. A gateway leads into a maze of trees, the vast rambling estate that
 hides an fashioned stone house in its midst. There, of an eve-
 ming, you might find Henry Ford,
 sitting before a fireplace which has a motto carved in it's heavy wooden mantlepiece. And perhaps that motto would express as well as anything the guiding principle which still guides Henry Ford at 70. It reads:
 "Chop your own wood, and 1t will warm you twice."

He still gets the pleasure of a boy from watching birds, and from walking in the woods, and one of his dearest friends was the late John Burroughs, the great naturalist. One of Ford's farm workers told me Ford once made him leave unplowed a quarter of an acre in the middle of field because they had found nest of killdeer there with pnhatched eggs in 1t.
 REVERES PAST
 Ford loves the country around Dearborn. These same fields over which are now spread the welfare gardens, the overpowering River Rouge plant, his airport, his office, and his home, are the fields over which he wandered as a farm boy. It is no wonder that he has taken an interest in the "antiques" which he buys with prodigal purse. But anyone who believes this hobby has become an obsession guesses wrong.
 There Is really nothing surpris- ing about my interest in antiques and the products of people of past times," he told me. Few people realize how much labor and in- genuity went into these old Ameri- can things. I can show you hun dreds of machines and devices in my museum which are simpler | and more effective than elaborate | devices that clever people try to Invent to-day to do the same work. |
 Study of these products of the | past is valuable as a guide to the | future. That is what we need, more intelligent knowledge of the | past as a guide to the future. That | Is all that is worth while in study Ing the past"
