Ne v CANE AIDS
LOUISIANA

A variety Of sugar cane, Co. 81,
originally developed in India and
released to Louisiana growers in
1880, has shown remarkable abil-
ity to maintain its purity when
windrowed for as long as several
weeks, experiments by two De
partment of Agriculture workers
reported before the meeting Of
the American Chemical Society
here show.
Cane growers in Louisiana and
Argentina, the only regions where
the windrowing practice is ex-
tensively followed, cut their cane
and leave it lying in the fields in
windrows if there is danger Of
freezing. Later the cane is taken
to the sugar mill.
The old standard variety, D. "a,
which was widely grown in
Louisiana before the invasion of
the mosaic disease, stood the
windrowing treatment very well,
but some of the newer varieties
since introduced have been found
to lose their sugar purity rapidly
when left in the windrow.
The Co. 2S1 variety, however,
in tests made during the last
two seasons by r. T. Balch, Of
the Bureau Of Chemistry and
Soils, and DR.. j. I. Lauritzen, Of
the Bureau Of Plant Industry,
showed the least deterioration of
any of the newer varieties tested,
and is about equal to the D. "A
variety.
Deterioration which cane special
lists define as the loss Of sucrose
from inversion, often means sub
stantial losses to growers.

POWER VICTORY
WINS PRAISE

Governmental circles today
hailed the decision by Federal
Judge Luther B. Way at Norfolk,
sustaining the Federal Power Com.
missions authority over water
power developments on non-naVi-
gable streams.
Chairman George Otis Smith
of the Federal Power Commission
said:
"RepuIse of this attack ON
the public's right Of power util-
ity regulation rs expressed i'm
the Federal waterpOwer act is
. victory in the public interest"
Senator Norris (RJ. Of Ne
braska said:
~ am very much delighted
to get the news Of this decision
and very glad that the Govern
ment won. 1t means that the
court held the Federal water
power act cOnStitutiOnaI.'
Judge Ways decision, rendered
in the famous New River case,
denied the Injunction bill OF
the Appalachian Electric Power
Company to restrain the Federal
Power Commission from interfer
ing with its hydro-electric de
velopment on New River in Mont
gomery county, Va.

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK March 81 G.N.S).-The
coarse yarn cloth market continued
generally unchanged today with buying
confined chiefly to spot orders. There
was virtually no interest in futures,
except for isolated bids for AprilMay
shipments at less than market prices.
Mills generally were holding prices at
previous levels and few were showing
any desire to sell ahead at the levels
prevailing. Reports reached the mar
ket that the Agricultural Committee e
of the Senate was disposed to elimi-
nate the provision which would fix
processing atxes at rates equal to the
difference in the price OF current cot
ton and the computed 1894 rela-
Eionship with living costs.

For the first time in 40 years,

Solidated net loss before surplus

bination of figures is perfect, and
the plane Of the combined images
is fiat, explained Mr.. Julian.
But if one of the banknoteS
under examination is bogus, the
figures seen by both eyes do not
coincide, and slight variations are
apparent. Such differences show
up as wavy lines or spots. In this
way even the most skilleully coun-
terfeited hill may be detected at
a glance.
Besides detection of bogus
money, the Stereoscope has other
important uses, one Of which is
in aerial military photography.
If two pictures are taken in an
airplane at points about so feet
apart, and after developing the
photographs are placed in Ster-
eoscope, the depth is magnified
so greatly that many works Of
the enemy can be detected, which
would be faint or possibly invisible
on an ordinary photograph. Such
is especially true Of camouflaged
works.

FAR WEST BANK
RECORD GOOD

approximately 96.4 per cent Of
the banking resources Of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District,
estimated from the latest bank
ing figures at well above $4,000
600, 900 have been freed, since the
moratorium, according to the
Bank Of America, N. T. and s. A.
in q survey of western banking.
More than 96.6 per cent Of the
deposits and 96.4 per cent Of the
capital, surplus. and undivided
profits Of the banks in the area,
the survey shows further, have
been liberated. A high per
centage Of the "closed" banks are
capitalized at relatively small
amounts.
A decrease Of approximately
$75, 5,00O,OOO of money in circula-
ton is reported by the Federal
Reserve of San Francisco-the
largest return Of currency to the
banks for any period in history.
None Of the new Federal Reserve
notes, it is stated, was released
in the district.

per cent of the banking assets Of
the seven western States, Cal
ifornia cleared the moratorium

A composite picture Of the

Sugar Stocks Leaders
Sugar stocks were outstanding,
reflecting the current uprush in
the commodity. Great Western

while the others scored gains run
ming to more than a point.
Railroad stocks firmed up de-
spite SluggishneSs in their bonds
while leaders like U. S. Steel,
American Telephone and Allied
Chemical worked higher. Union
Pacific was a strong rail.
Tobacco stocks were strong
under the leadership of Ameri-
can Tobacco B which rose nearly
2 points on rumors that cigarette
prices may be revised upward.
Drug weakened further on the
bankruptcy petition filed by its
subsidiary, the Liggett chain, and
dropped to a new low for the
year. Marine Midland was an
other heavy spot while Gillette
was under pressure.
Farm Issues Higher
Farm stocks were aided by the
Upturn in grains, Case ThreShing
rising a point. Motors were
steady though Auburn was reac-
tionary early in the session.

Six years ago Ralph Lewis, an
indianapolis boy just out of high
school and who had displayed con-
siderable ability as a comedian in
amateur theatricals about town,
was given an addition by Larry

then was filling an engagement at
the Lyric.
Mr.. Rich was so impressed he
placed Lewis under contract and
took him along as a member OF
his vaudeville company.
Mr.. Lewis since has become a
popular figure in vaudeville. He
now is a member of the team of
Lewis and Harris, blackface come
dams, who now are at the Lyric in

After year of vocal study in
Paris he decided upon the drama
as a life calling and went to Eng
land and joined Benson, making his
first appearance as the Duke Of
Gloster in Richard IL"
He remained with Benson for
three years during which time he
played over seventy Shakespearean
roles, large, small, making his out
standing success as Romeo.
In 1904 he joined the company
managed by Ohio Stuart at the
Adelphi theater, London, making
his debut in the leading role in j.
B. Fagans poetic play, The Player
Of the Sword" and also playing the
Duke in Measure for Measure" OBJ
eron in "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" and Laertes in Hamlet"
Then he was especially engaged
to play Romeo in Glasgow and so
great was his success Romeo and
Juliet" was continued there for
eleven weeks, an unprecedented run

also Judge Brock in "Hedda Gabler"

Dinner at Eiqht'

Described after its sensational
opening at the Aston theater in New
York as the greatest piece of mo-
ton picture entertainment of all
times, Dinner at Eight" Metro
Goldwyn-M Mayors adaptation of the
Broadway play hit, now is at Loew's
Palace theater
The cast includes Marie Dressler,
John Barrymore, Wallace Berry,
Jean Harlow, Lionel Barrymore, Lee
Tracy, Edmund Lowe, Billie Burke,
Madge Evans, Jean Hersholt, Karen
Morley, Louise Closer Hale, Phillips
Holmes and May Robson, together
with a supporting cast Of eleven
players.
The remarkable part of the pic
ture is that its episode narrative
offers each Of the celebrities in the
cast a meaty role. Just as there are
enough stars in Dinner at Eight"
to equip more than a dozen film
vehicles, so its story has enough
plots and sub-plots to furnish any
number of separate cinema MARIA
tives.
One phase of the picture deals
with Lionel Barrymore, who is wor-
ried over the collapse of his ship
building concern, while his wife,
Billie Burke, blithely arranges a
dinner for a pair of visiting British
aristocrats.
It is into this aspect Of the story
that Marie Dressler is introduced
as a retired trouper of the gay
nineties" and an old fame of
LioneIs. Also concerned is LioneTs
daughter. Madge Evans, who is in
love with John Barrymore, a has

When they arrive at the studio the
cold reception given them comes as
a complete surprise. But with char
acteristic boldness, they crash their
way into the studio, talk themselves
into big jobs, and meet all the
blends.
Then their troubles begin. Sue
cess goes to their heads; girls, girls,
and more girls interfere with work
so they give up work. Checks bounce
back and their harmony becomes
diScords.
But it remains for a sweet, de-
mure, hometown sweetheart to
swing things into shape again. She
gets the boys back on their feet, and
the picture ends in a surprise eli
max that is crammed with laughs
and hilarity.
