WILL ROGERS DELIGHTS HIS
 FANS IN FILM
Handy Andy at Capitol Theatre Is Comedians
 Funniest Feature

Will Rogers keeps the laughs rolling right along in his latest picture, Handy Andy" which op- ened Sunday at the Capitol The atre. Without doubt, it's his fun niest picture. Dialogue and situa- tions combine to maintain stead fly mounting crescendo of mirth-- just a whirlwind of belly laughs. He keeps the audience in stitches most of the time.
 Rogers portrays a druggist who wants to work in peace. But his. wife, expertly played by Peggy Wood, nags him to sell out and. learn to play. And he does!
 First he becomes pigeon fan cier, and lets his pets fly all over the house. Then he keeps up golf with excruciatingly funny results.
 The climax comes, however, when his wife persuades him to take a trip to the Mardi Gras in New Or leans. There Rogers rebels vlo- lently when his wife tries tc make him dress in a fancy costume to attend the Comus ball. She at tends with gigolo and leaves Rogers at home. Lonesome, he meets a druggist and the latter's girl friend, Ccnchita Montenegro After a few cocktails with his new friends, Rogers is persuaded to at tend the ball after all.
 Rogers appears in a Tarzan cos tune and causes a sensation with his rough and tumble dance with Conchita. The dance ends in a free -forall fight that lands Rogers in jail. Of course his wife is com pletely cured and pleads with him to return home to his old quiet life.
 There is a clever surprise finish involving Rogers, Miss Wood and the elimination of the diverting romance running through the pie ture between Rogers daughter, Mary Carlisle, and Robert Taylor.

SOVIET RULES

! PEIPING, April 17.-(uP).-
Sinkiang, China's "wild west
with an area as large as all of
Western Europe, is on the verge
of becoming Russia's equivalent
to Manchukuo.
Soviet advisers" no practical
ly govern the province, nomlnally
controlled by China.
Last summer there was. an
abortive declaration OF inde-
pendence from China in Ilhua.
The dreaded Soviet "Ogpu' has
been organized and is function
ing in Sinkiang.
General Sheng Shin Tsai, Chi
nese governor of Sinkiang. is to
all intents and purposes virtual
prisoner in his own palace. =,
These declarations were made
by William Dorm, young German
employe of a Tientsln automoDile
firm, who reached Peiping after
years Imprisonment in Tihua,
capital of Sinkiang. Dorm pictur-
ed almost complete Sovletlzatlon
of the vast province.
Dorm reached Tihua in March
1888, to deliver two American
trucks to Sinkiang authorities
after a 25O0-mile trip from
TientSin.
He decided to cast about for
further truck orders, and remain
ed in Tihua. Before he was ready
to leave in the fall, General Ma
Chungying, 22-year-old Moham-
medan leader from Kansu prov
ince, was attacking General Sheng
Shin Tsai vigorously - reputedly
wit hJapanese aid. Marking was
able to offer General Sheng tele-
graphic encouragement only, in
asmuch as Japan was thrusting
into Jehol and other areas to the
north.
General Sheng took the only
course open-he appealed to the
Soyiets for aid, Dorm said. On
December 9, 1888. General Sheng
completed negotiations with the
Soviets.
On December 10. 1888, with a
number of White Russian leaders,
and many anti-Red Chinese gen.
erals, Dorm was arrested, appar-
emily because he had been Gus
todied by Soviets in Urga. capital
of outer MONGOLIA. in 1929. All
were placed in chains the next
day.

into Sinkiang. On January Is,

Butchers association were closed.
The right wing section of the
league will not estimate what re-
suits of the strike have been but
prices are lower as shown by:
Pork chops today are 30 cents
compared with 38 cents a month
ago: lamb chops are 80 cents
compared with 50 cents; bacon
10 cents compared with AZ cents;
ham % cents compared with 27

pared with 80 and sirloin steak
unhanged at 80 cents.
Vegetable prices, however, have
climbed mainly because the sea-
son is 81 to % days late. In ad-
ditiOn the pea crop has suffered.
A housewives league in San
Francisco is watching prices. Miss
Frances V. Meeker, one of the
officers, said she thought prices
mostly Justified by economic con-
ditions. Prices in San Francisco
show little change from a month
ago and H. L. Sorenson, secre-
tary of the United Groeers said
there had been a small decline,
if anything.
az personally feel we have
reached peak in prices at least
temporarily and think we will see
minor recessions or at least a
flattening out" Sorenson said.
In New York City meat prices
held about steady compared with
month ago except for pork
chops, which showed a. Z cent
drop to % cents and BACON which

BELIEVE
ELECTROCUTED
Is New Theory With Re-
gar dto Results of West
ern Dust Storms
By ROBERT KELLY
United Press Staff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April II.
| (UP).-Agricultural experts last
night studied a theory that part
of Kansas winter wheat crop has
been electrocuted.
Billions of dust particles, whip
ped across the western great
nlains develop static electricity
through friction. That is a fact
/ established by S. D. Flora, Kan
sas meteorologist. 1t is evident
through the every day experience
of persons living in the dust area.
Windmills, barb wire fences and
even metal objects in houses of
ten become so highly charged dur
ing dust storms that persons who
touch them sustain a2Small shock.
Flora refused to estimate
whether the electricity is of high
enough voltage to kill the wheat
plants. Other experts described
fields where the plants were
blighted as if by frost. Some at
tributed this to static electricity,
others blamed drought.
Ned Huyucke. agricultural
writer of Ellsworth, Kan, exam
ined fields between Manhattan
and Topeka, Kan, and found
streaks where green plants sup
posedly had been killed by cleo
tircity. These streaks, he be-
lieved, are in areas where the
electricity finds its way to the
ground.
Unverified reports were re-
ceived that livestock had been
electrocuted by coming into con-
tact with the highly charged
barbed wire fences. There even
We're reports that jackrabbits are
being electrocuted.
Motorists in western Kansas
and Colorado have made it a gen.
eral practice to have chains drag
ging from the rear bumper or
axle of their cars to the ground
to prevent electricity from devel-
oping and so causing short cir
cult.
Another .quirk of this modern
scourge is the fact that where
western. Kansas and other sections
in the dust area lose neighboring
states gain.
DR.. w. A. Albrecht of the Uni
versity of Missouri discovered that
Missouri farms had been enriched
by about $50 pounds to the acre
of fine fertilizer this spring. More
fertilizer was being deposited in
Missouri last night.
Careful analysis Of the dust
deposits showed that the fertility
and contents of nitrogen of this
dust is above that of our Missouri
