 UPTOWN FILM
Sherlock Hol m es' from Conan Doyle Story Is
 Interesting Feature

Sherlock Hoimes," based on one of Conan Doyle's most gripping de- tective stories, produced by Fox Films with Give Brook in the title role, opens it's engagement at the Uptown Theatre today. Brook IS said to bring to the screen mas terful characterization of the great detective and criminologist who matches wits with his arch enemy, Moriarty, and a gang of American racketeers who inaugurate reign of terror in London.
 To Miriam Jordan, beautiful Eng fish actress who came to pictures from the New York stage and made her screen debut in "Six Hours To Live" opposite Warner Baxter and John Boles. falls the honor of the leading feminine role. Ernest Tor renee, outstanding in menace roles, appears as the master crook, Mor- iarty, while Reginald Owen plays the part of the amusing Dr. Wat
 
 son.
 An ensemble of notables of the screen make up the balance of the cast, which includes Howard Leeds, Alan Mowbray, Herbert Mundin, Stanley Fields, Roy Darcy, Monta- que Shaw, Arnold Lucy, Lucien Prival, Brandon Hurst and Eddie Dillon.
 The story pivots about the ad- ventures of Sherlock Holmes in his battle with Moriarty and the Am erican racketeering methods the arch criminal employs in his ef- fort to wipe out the great detec- tive.
 The picture was directed by Will liam K. Howard who transferred to the screen such successes as Scot land Yard" Transatlantic and "The First Year"

 Development Program
 His faith in the beneficence of publicity did not extend to his own personal life. He was reticent to an unusual degree, even de- clining to make known his age The Southern Pacific pension regu- lation providing for retirement at 70 may have prompted this secrecy His friends surmised he did not intend to permit an arbitrary re- tirement regulation to classify him as old when he still retained the physical and mental vigor of youth
 As President of the railroad, both before and after he succeeded to direct control of much of the huge system, he engineered progressive development program. This includ- ed merger of the Fl Paso and South Western with the s. F., construc- ton of the line to Phoenix, Ariz from Yuma, building the Cascades line through Klamath Falls, Ore. and double tracking through the short but topographically difficult Sierra Nevada district in California, involving construction of a 10,320 it. tunnel.
 New Policy
 Group insurance, installment sell ing of stock to employees and fill ing of official positions by promo tions from the ranks as fixed policy were measures inaugurated under his administration.
 SprouIe was born in County Mayo, Ireland. He was graduated from the University of Dublin. Late in life he married Mrs. Mary Louise Baird Baldwin, the mother of two children, but was himself childless.
 In training, experience ana traul- tions, President Sproule was char acteristically Western. Except for five years in New York virtually all of his life out of college was spent on the Pacific Coast. He was the first administrative head of g great trunk system to maintain headquarters in the Far West.
 Quick Advancement
 Starting with the s. P. as clerk in the freight department at San Francisco in 1882, he rose within five years to the position of Assist ant General Freight Agent. After 10 years he was made General Traffic Manager in which capacity he served until 1906 when he sev- cred connection with the s. P tc become associated with the Am erican Smelling and Refining Com pany as Traffic Manager, director and member of the executive com mittee. In 1910 he took the Presi- dency of the Wells, Fargo Com

Recorder Back
From Meeting
At Sacramento

Mrs. Evalyn Boman Westerfield,
county recorder, has returned from
Sacramento where she attended the
annual state convention of record
ers, headquarters being the Sacra-
mento hotel and the entire conven-
ton sessions, last Friday and Sat-
urday, being devoted to a considera-
ton of proposed legislative mea-
SureS.
Some rs assembly bills and large
number of those originating in the
senate were studied, the convention
opposing some and supporting
others, the action on each bill to be
sent to the various representatives.
Particular opposition centered
around assembly bills 967 and 811
referring to property indexing and
making recorders the trustees of all
trust deeds. The terrific expense
which would enSuc should these bills
be adopted makes them impractical,
states Mrs. Westerfield.
The convention banquet was Fri
Gay night. Forty-Seven of the SO
counties of the state were represent
ed. Next years convention is to be
in San Diego so that the delegates
may visit the exposition.

the great-out-of- doors. In compe-
ton with other gasolines, drivers
using Red Lion won hundreds of
victories and established 1873 official
records. It was these gruelling
tests under competition that final
ly convinced us we had perfected q
gasoline that would give all motor
lists outstanding performance.
Gilmore engineers declared that
the development of the new Red
Lion gasoline was necessitated by
motor car manufacturers who have
constantly increased the compress
sion ratio of engines and the maxi
mum top speed of all cars. These
new motors, it IS said, require a
more volatile, controlled power
gasoline if they are to perform at
the efficient point designers intend
ed. Many technical experts are of
the opinion that new Red Lion gas
oline, because it has been so sue
cessfully and thoroughly tested,
has proved itself ready for the
high compression, high speed mot
ors of today.

set-up being too high for any pos

Another proposal which was re-
ferred to the legislative committee,
the general sentiment being against
it, was that of quarterly payment OF
taxes, increase in the cost of collec-

Mrs. Jesse Miller of Inyo county

NEW GASOLINE
PRESENTED BY
GILMORE FIRM

Leading newspapers on the Pa
cific coast are scheduled to begin
a comprehensive advertising CAM
paign this week to announce to the
motoring public the availability of
a new Gilmore Red Lion gasoline
to be known as "The Record
Breaker" according to word re-
ceiyed here today by l.. D. House,
valley Gilmore distributor, from
Earl B. Gilmore, president of the
concern which bears his name.
The chief executive of the Gill
more Oil company pointed out that
the major share of the largest ad-
vertising appropriation in the his
tory of his concern is being devot-
ed TO newspapers because Gilmore
officials believe the new Gilmore
fuel has distinct news value and
the story of this new fuel is es-
sentially one to be told in the news
papers.
The new Gilmore Red Lion gaso-
line was given "The Record Break
err as its name, officials explained,
because this new gasoline actually
broke 1873 records during the process
of its development. Kelly Petillo
was using Gilmore gasoline when
he won the 200 mile National Auto
Championship race in Los Angeles
last December. Rex Mays also used
Gilmore products during his cam
paign on the speedway that event.
ually netted him sufficient points
to win the Pacific Coast A.A.A. auto
racing championship. There were
also a number of spectacular econ
omy and hill climbing records
smashed during the time the new
gasoline was being perfected.
According to technical men, the
climax of all of this gruelling test
ing occurred when Sir Malcolm
Campbell used Gilmore Red Lion
gasoline and Lion Head motor Oil
to shatter all existing stock car
records up to five miles IN g Hud-
son sedan at Daytona Beach, Flor
ida, this month.
Decided By Campbell
cit was following Sir Malcolm IS
spectacular performance in the
Hudson that we decided our new
Red Lion gasoline had reached the
stage of development where we
could offer it to the motoring pub
lic,' said Gilmore. "In other
words, we believed we had the fin
est. the fastest, most powerful and
economical gasoline ever produce6.
"We did not depend upon labor
atory testing devices alone to con-
cur with us in this opinion. We
had spent years testing this new
gasoline, during its process of de-
velopment, in the laboratories of
