EXCURSION CROWD
ARRIVING SUNDAY
NOT VERY LARGE.
NUMBER COMING IN SHOWN
TO BE 259: MANY EXPECT
ING RELATIVES ON TRAIN
WERE DISAPPOINTED

There were many disappointed
Key Westers at the Florida East
Coast Station yesterday. Quite a
number of them were expecting
relatives and friends from Miami
who had written or telegraphed
they would arrive but did not.
Others who went on the expec-
tation that friends or relatives
may come looked in vain. What
was the reason of their non-arrival
has not been learned,
There are some who are under
the Impression that there may
have been some misunderstanding
about trains. while, others are of
the Opinion that a great many be-
lfeved the price of tickets was the
same as last year and decided not
to come when they learned that
tickets for adults cost one dollar
more.
Whatever may be the reason
for the expected number to be re-
duced to 259, the exact number
of arrivals. will probably be learn
Ell later. Whatever the reason it
will not eradicate from the
thoughts of those who were await
ing relatives and friends the keen
disappointment experienced when
they did not arrive.
When the train reached the sta
ton there were about 500 people
eager and anxiOusly watching but
they soon realized that even the
seven coaches which were placed
in readiness to handle excursion
lists. had been found unnecessary,
and only three of these had been
used and they were not crowded.

MANS EXPLOSIVES SURPASSED
BY ACTION OF GIANT METEORS
CBy Associated Pressl
By HOWARD w. BLAKEsLEE meteor

meteOrs strike as super-explosives
is found in the craters made IL
1908 in Siberia by a meteor which
laid forests flat in an area of
about 20 miles.
Meteor Metal Sought
A more prevalent explanation
has attributed the great craters to
the enormous size OF the me-
teorites. This belief has led to
mining for valuable niekeI-iron,
of which giant meteors are made.
To date these mining ventures
have not been successful.
The explanation is offered by
DIR. Wylie in Popular Astronomy.
With vapOrization explosion the
crater-fOrming fireballs would not
need to be so gigantic.
DIR. Wylie cites military expert
ments with high velocity lead bull
lets to back IN the solid metal ex-
plosiOn theory. ,...
AT about 400 feet per
second" he states. lead bullets
fired against armor plate explode,
blasting out fairly large pieces of
the best armor plate. Armor plate
IL inches thick. which is only
slightly dented by armor-piercing
bullets fired at 200 feet per
second, Is wrecked by only a few
rounds OF the small lead bullets at
this velocity.
"Pieces OF steel are thrown so
to 20 yards by the explosion of
the bullet as it is vapOrized by the
impact. Even if the bullet strikes
the plate at a rather low angle. It
explodes, tearing out some OF the
plate"

IOWA CITY, Ia. Nov. 10
Explosives more terrific than any
thing man-made, when solid iron
vaporizes with 100 times the force
of decorating nitrogIycerin, are
described by Prof. c. c. WyIie,
University OF Iowa astronomer.
+. He finds evidence OF these ex-
plosiOns in some OF the craters
left in the earth by the impact of
giant meteorites. In connection
wi3h recent military advances,
these astronomical figures suggest
a type of solid explosive in future
warfare.
Prof. Wylie calculates that an
iron meteor travelling 2.3 miles d
second would completely vaporize
upon impact with the earth. The
newest muzzle velocities OF rifles
are about 5000 feet a second,
more than a mile and more than a
third of the speed which may con-
vert metal into an atomic ex-
plosive.
2o-40 Miles A Second
At 2.3 miles a second, Prof.
Wylie computes the explosion of
an iron meteorite as approximate
~ equal to its own weight in nitro
glycerin. But at 25 miles a
second the same meteor would ex-
plode with 12O times more energy.
Meteors travel with known
veloeities of 90 to 40 miles a
second Usually the atmosphere
slows them far under this by the
time they hit the ground. But not
always, according to Prof. Wylie's
calculations of what struck the
earth at Coon Butte, Ariz., CEN
turtles ago to make a crater near
" a mile wide and a fifth of a
mile deep.

LUTHERAN MEN ARE GREAT HOSTS;P PARTY
 GIVEN LAST NIGHT

Can the men entertain? Ask anyone at the party the men of Resurrection Lutheran Church put on last night.
 At 8 o'clock the social rooms of the church were full and Bert Me- Dowell began the program which consisted of community singing under the direction of Miss Alice Palmer, two selections by the church choir, piano solo by Betty Key. and tenor solos by Ronald Lister and Walter Peterson.
 Lunch was served by the men and the remainder of the evening was devoted to stunts and informal visiting. One of the hits of the evening was unique potato peel ing contest between two teams of men and which was won in record time by Al zenger and Ed Jacob son. These men employed rare skill and technique in this culinary art and afforded much amusement to the spectators.
 The ladies of the church have promised an even better event for next month.

JOAN CRAWFORD. TN ''RAIN" WILL.
 BE HERE SUNDAY
Intensely Dramatic Picture from Vaughan Story
 Comes to Capitol

Rain" starring Joan Crawford in the role of Sadie Thompson, created on the stage by the late Jeanne Eagels and on the silent screen by Gloria Swanson, comes tomorrow to the Capitol Theatre. This famous play is said to be even greater in it's new version than in the stage or silent screen version of the fascinating Somerset Maug- ham story.l
 The story, which is known to millions, is set in the tropical back ground of Pago Pago when the rainy season arrived. The dramatic action is. enhanced by the inces- sant, relentless rain, and it's effect on the morale of group of peo- ple who were put ashore and quar- antine when cholera broke out among the crew of south sea schooner.
 Principal Characters
 Sadie Thompson, a girl of non-
 
 descript morals and indifferent re- putation, birthstone smelling re- former and a sergeant of Marines, are the principal characters in this intensely dramatic picture. Miss Crawford, as Sadie, whom the re- former tries to force into a path of rectftude, rises to emotional heights in this intense picture that she has never reached before. She is no longer the well-groomed, so- phisticated Joan her fans are ac- customed to, but wears cheap clothes, flashy jewelry, and frow- sy hair. She swings her hips and chews gum defiantly.
 Others in the splendid cast are Walter Huston, as the tyrannical reformer, William Gargan, in the role of the marine, Guy Kibbee, as Joe Horn, proprietor of the trading post and hotel, in which the party is marooned, and Walter Catlett, Beulah Bondi, Matt Moore and others.

CONFERENCE NET
 OUTFITS BOW TO
 MARQUETTE FIVE

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March IT, Various wonder lives" from In- diana colleges have had their years when they delighted in embarrass- ing Western conference basketball teams, but Marquette University has compiled a two-season mark that compares with the best.
 This winter, for the second straight year, Coach Bill Chand- ler's Hilltoppers captured five of their six games against Big Ten foes for two-year standing" of 10 won, 2 lost. Incidentally, that figure has been good enough to win championships, or tie for them. in most Big Ten seasons, which consist of 12 league games.
 Wisconsin, Marquette's arch-ri- val, was the only league team to stop the Hilltoppers this season, while Northwestern did it the year before. In each case the result was reversed at the second meet ing of the teams.
 Besides the even break with Wisconsin, the current Marquette team conquered Chicago twice, and Northwestern and Ohio State, ac- cumu,ating 184 points to opponents 1858.

DOUBLE FEATURE BILL IS ON TODAY AT C COLISEUM
Three on a Match Is Title of Exciting Four-Star
 Film Opening Sunday

The contrasting stories of the lives of three young girls when their paths converge to create series of highly dramatic events, is the unique material used by writers Kubec Glasmon, John Bright and Lucient Hubbard for the plot of Three On A Match" the First National picture which comes tomorrow to the Coliseum Theatre.
 Due to the importance of these three feminine characters in the story, First National has placed in these roles their three most im- portant and popular leading ladies, Ann Dvorak, Joan Blondell and Bette Davis. With the addition of Warren William to the leading male part, this four star arrange ment makes the picture one of the outstanding events in the cinema year.
 l iIC obO4 10 OllC Ol Tdle queer tricks. Three young girls graduate from public school together meet after ten-year lapse, during which one of them has become the wife of a wealthy and influential lawyer, another a hard-working stenographer, and the other, a hoydenish blonde, is a graduate of a reform school and a wise-crack- ing show girl. The skein of their lives becomes tangled to produce some startling dramatic situations which are claimed to be innova- tions in screen story material.
 A strong supporting cast is added with the next most prominent male role given to Lyle Talbot. Others are Allen Jenkins, Sheila Terry, Hale Hamilton, Humphrey Bogart, Grant Mitchell, Clara Blandick, Glenda Farrell, Buster Phelps, Frankie Darrow, Virginia Davis, Dawn ODay and Betty Carrs.
