the c5mmissimlers. These two fight
ers we're matched on the theory that

Il seems TO ne that the commission

the evidence TO date Mr.. Bachman

as the custom Is in foot ball and
base ball His presence in Roberts
corner does not necessarily indicate
link between the conflicting parties

~ UT Of the junior golf tourna-
ments which are to be held
Y at several clubs during the
~ next month, following the
successful affair of last
Tuesday at Congressional, Frank
Emmett. the genial gent who seems
to be running the affairs Of the
young golfers, sees the growth of
quite a flock Of kids into good golfers
as a result of the competition to be
had in these Journeys.
Next Tuesday the lads will gather
at Columbia to play In another Is"
hole affair, and on the following
Tuesday, August IA, they viii go over
to the Washington Golf and Country
Club for the third Of the succession
Of Journeys. Other clubs are ex-
pected to follow suit ana open their
doors to the youngsters.
Some of these boys are pretty
good golfers" Emmett said. But
the only way they can become better
golfers is through competition, among
themselves and in the tournaments.
In the lack of big tournaments dur
ing the next month the boys can
play among themselves and I think
it will improve the quality of their
golf. For example, the main rivalry
right now is between Billy Dettweiler,
who won at Congressional, and
Maury Nee of Columbia. They are
fine players, but they are not so far
ahead of some of the other lads.
Give 'em something to shoot for and
you viii see these kids CO."
That scheduled team match between
Columbia and Washington, at Wash
ington, has been postponed until Fall
because of the absence Of so many
players from the city. Unique in team
contests about the Capital, the match
usually finds some 200 members of
the visiting club descending on the
host organization. 1t will be played,
probably in September, at washington.

 The average so-called good film to-day costs about $200,000 to $250,000 and crosses between $400,000 and s500,O00. So whats wrong with spending s500,000 or even $600,000 if $1,50O,00O or s2,- 000,000 will be returned? From where anybody sits, that looks like good business.

Radio I 1ypewriters
 To Save Big Amount
Federal Airways System Studies Use for Weather
 Reports-Tests Now Being Conducted

Washington (UP)-Radio type writers designed to enhance the effiency of the federal airways sys- tenn and at the same time save thousands of dollars may be used soon by the commerce depart ment's bureau of air commerce to disseminate weather information. According to Eugene L. Vidal. director of air commerce, an ex- perimental radio typewriter which the bureau is operating between the Washington Airways radio sta- ton at Silver Hill, Md, and the commerce department building here, transmitted weather map with tabuiated weather data in 71s minutes, as compared with about 15 minutes required by pres- ent wire machines.
 Studies Radio Plan
 Studies of radio controlled type writers were undertaken by the air navigation division of the air com merce bureau several months ago and tests now are being conducted in cooperation with a well-known business machine company.
 Rex Martin, assistant director of air commerce in charge of air nav- igation, believes the radio type writer, if successful, will enhance the efficiency of the federal air. ways system while lowering the overall cost of operating aids to air navigation.
 Saving in Circuits
 However, Martin added, the greatest advantage to be gained through perfection of radio type writers is the saving of thousands of dollars now expended in rentals for leased typewriter circuits.

necessary to make this film inter- esting. The strong feeling of pa- triotism, not of any one land, but existing in all nations, was suffi- cient to put it over.
 'CINIARRoN" PROVES POINT
 The fighting spirit of those hardy men and women who first settled in Oklahoma Is a far more profitable theme than any sex plot, as was proved by "Cimarron," which almost reached the $2,- OOO,000 mark. And it wasn't names which drew the business either.
 Richard Dix at the time was just about to sing his swan song, and Irene Dunne was unknown to screen audiences. The picture re- established Dix and brought Miss Dunne into instant favor, in addi- ton to making big money.
 A very simple picture, "It Hap pened One Night" was released for the first time less than six months ago and already its business has passed the $1,500,000 figure. Here there were no spectacular scenes such as were found in "Cimar- ron"-just a simple story told in a most interesting manner.
 It brought more fans into the camps of both Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert than any pre- vious film made by either.
 OTHER BIG MONEY MAKERS
 "Forty-Second Street" and Foot light Parade" both exceeded s2,- 100000 gross intakes, yet there was

nothing obscene nor objectiona ble in either. Rather, they proved d new type of musical production, one with glamorous musical num- bers and hit songs and legitimate reason for each.
 Will Rogers has established him. self as a star who always appears in films which the whole family will enjoy. Yet every one of his pictures has been a big money maker, David Harum'' being a little more successful than most, with gross of more than s1,- 000,000.
 Min and Bill," with Wallace Beery and Marie Dressler, was as clean picture as you could ask for, and it's business exceeded $1,500,000.

The nations Ncry is "give us clean pictures" All the industry has to do to cash in" on this de- mand Is make clean films.
 Of course, there are two types of clean films the type containing genuine entertainment and the -washy kind that doesn't con- tain anything in particular. Since the movies began, most of the big money-makers have come under the former classification.
 That clean productions do return big profits to thelr makers is best proved by glancing back over our box office leaders.
 LITTLE WOMEN" IS MINT
 There's Little Women" for ex- ample. Released less than a year ago, this picture already has done business approximating $2,225,000. Some claim that this tremendous gross has been due to the presence of Katharine Hepburn in the lead ing role.
 That may be true in part-but let them try putting Miss Hepburn in an objectionable film and see what happens. Little Women" is as clean and wholesome a picture as anyone could desire, but it also Is full of entertainment. The two can go together, you know.
 "Cavalcade" is another example of what a well-made, clean produc- ton will do. Although most film experts predicted before it was fin ished that it would be one Of our most gigantic 'flops," it already has grossed more than $2,OOO,000.
