element of suspense and a thrill
ing climax that drew applause
from the audience.
Cops and Robbers Film
This film concerns, as you have
already guessed from its title, the
efforts of Federal men to appre-
bend a gang of counterfeiters. A
beautiful and innocent girl be-
comes enmeshed in the gang,
through no fault of her own, and
falls in love with man, presum-
ably a gangster, but really Fed
eral undercover man, working as
a member of the mob.
Thus, you see, we have all the
elements of a laundering melo-
drama. It moves swiftly and
smoothly to a climax of blazing
guns, mutual explanations and a
farewell kiss. What more do you
want in mid-July?
Chester Morris, as the Federal
T-man, is as hardboiled as a 10
minute egg. He makes the best
opportunity of a good role. Mar
got Grahame, as a gangStress,
does a difficult job surprising
well. Lloyd Nolan is the mob
leader and Marian Marsh is the
innocent girl entrapped by the
mob.
Benny Davis on Stage
On the stage Benny Davis and
his Star Dust Revue present an
enjoyable hours entertainment.
Mr.. Davis has quite an aggrega-
ton of youngsters with him this

and possess considerable talent.

retta Young, as the maid who fell
in love with the son of the house,
and Robert Taylor, as the son of
the house who did likewise with
the maid, offer two finished aand
plausible characterizations.
Robert Taylor, already being
spoken of as the next Clark Gable,
possesses a lure for the feminine
movie fans. But the picture can
also be commended to the men, for
it is we'll told tale with a horribly
villainouS butler to hate, played by
Basil Rathbone.
There are some excellent scenic
shots in the film and Loretta

clothes, including a bathing suit

IN. {. Dairy
Farmers Need
Better Pastures

A shortage Of good pasture is
considered the weakest spot in
North Cardinals dairy cattle feed
ing program.
Because of this shortage, milk
production is more costly than in
States where pasturage is more abb
undant, said John A. Arey, extern
sion dairyman at State College.
Under a good feeding schedule,
nearly one-third of a cows feed
comes from the pasture, but the
pasturage accounts for only one
seventh of the total feed cost.
In other words, Arey pointed out,
the nutrients gained from a pas
ture are much cheaper than those
from other sources.
Tender, succulent pasturage is
natures most perfect milk produc-
ing food, Arey stated. At this
stage of growth the feed nutrients
in pasturage are easily digested and
the mineral and protein content Of
the grass is high.
Unfortunately, Arey remarked:
many farmers think that pastures
should be only on land too poor to
raise other crops profitably. Such
is not the case, he declared.
A good pasture can be grown
only on good soil. On most farms,
he added, are sizeable cut-over areas
of fertile land suitable for pastures,
but now covered with brush.
Where the slope of this land is
steep enough to make erosion a
serious problem, row crops should
not be cultivatd. But a good sod
of pasture grass will hold the soil
in place.
1t is better to seed pastures in
February than in March, Arey
said. Seed mixtures adapted to diff
ferent sections of the State, and
other details of pasture growing
are covered in extension circular

FIFTH INSTALMENT

Stealthily Joan started toward
Dicks statroorn then stopped to
survey the situation. The rotunda
was rather wavery tonight. She
dawdled among the plants, dipping
her fingers in the water. She must
remember sometime to catch a gold
fish and take it to her room. Mr.,
Stein had told her that he had pu,
ono in his pocket, and it had wig
gled so much that he had flung ii

pie who did things like that. Joar

1t was opened at once, but not in q
friendly way.
"Joan, you here? What do you

~"I want to talk to you. Let me

Dick looked down the corridor;
he was annoyed.
"All right, then, come in, but
you've no business to come here.
I've told you SO repeatedly"
Joan Strengthened up. Don't
be ridiculous, Dick" she told him,
solemnly. II can't think why
you're so evere You're not cut
out to be a reformer."
She walked in, ignoring his
frowning brows, and seated herself
on the sofa. Taking her time
about it, she crossed her legs and
lit a cigarette.
"Got any brandy?" she asked.
EYES," said Dick, shortly. Want
some?"
He poured out two liqueurs and
drank his own in sips.
s'Why aren't you crossing India?"
he asked her.
Because I didn't want to-"
What did she mean by that He
watched her thoughtfully. "Tell
me about yourself, Joan," he said,
abruptly.
"Tell you WHAT"
"Oh, everything-who you are,
what you are, why you are? Don't
think me rude, I'm interested"
DO you care, really?"

day, and not a sou the next" said
Joan, flippantly. "And live in alb
undance, if that's what you choose
to call it. It's been hectic enough,
but not very satisfying"
Dick watched the pulse that
throbbed in her throat, the ripe
ness of her lips, her disordered red
hair, the shadowy hollow of her
bosom.

tangle of excitement before I knew
what | was doing, Dick, and here I
am, gay at night, and ready to kill
myself when l waken up in the

Joan held up her glass, watching
it through the light with fingers
that trembled. She walked over and
sat on the arm of Dicks chair,
more sober now than when she had
come into the room. How hard it
was to make him understand the
muddle of her life! Always mean
ing to make things better, always
sinking a little lower.
She curved her arm around his
neck and leaned her cheek against
his temples. Gently she stroked his
hair, and let her lips stray over his
face in caressing butterfly kisses.
Dick sat without moving, until her
mouth reached his. Then he seiz-
ed her firmly and swung her into
the circle of his arms.
"Cherub,' he murmured, "you
get your way, don't you? I ought
to slap you but instead you've fore
ed me to make love to you"
He caught her roughly in his
Next morning he regarded her
coldly across the breakfast table in
the dining-room, regretting hts i'm
pulse of the night before.
Joan looked appealingly at him
across the table, dimly aware of his
thoughts. What did love mean to
her, anyway? Nothing, except
the excitement Of the chase. 1t was
really only when she was tiPsy hat
she abandoned herself to the more

Tilted % often that fear was a fixa-
ton with her now. Yes, she was
a mess.
Now Dick! Joan helped herself
to marmalade and thought that he
was the most attractive man she
had ever known-just as she had
suspected. He did not need her
at all; that was painfully obvious.
She envied people who knew how
to run their lives and control their
own destinies.
Dick was looking at her search

Miserable, she turned away from
~sagacious scrutiny. Suddenly
Dick felt touched. 1t gave him no
pleasure to see anyone unhappy or
disappointed. He knew, from his
experience with women, that the
worst hurt of all was Illustration,
for it touched them in their pride.
Besides, she couldn't help it.
'Joan," he said, catching her
arm as she left the dining-room,
Il want you to take the pledge for
a little while and behave yourself"
Don't be funny" she said.
Dick shook her impatiently.

The latter's equally mag naninOus replies arc also rec viewed, testifying to WashingtOn's great personal pleasure in the unity of religious leaders of his time. As September is the anni- versary month of Washlngton's immortal farewell address, MT. Barr, as usual presents . most in- teresting article.
 The fine appreciation mad un- derstanding between President Washington and the clergymen and leaders of the different re- 1igioug denominations in America, is shown in the various address
