Mr.. Wells book, The Shape of
Things to Come" And judging from
what is to come, the only really SEN
sible time to live would seem to be
in the year 2036, when you and I will
be able to throw rockets around the

Things to Come" has been pub
ished in book form and students Of
the films should be interested in its
shape and contents. We quote here
with mote to the reader" which is
included in the preface to acquaint
you with the fact that writing see
narios is no cinch these days and
that even Mr.. Wells went through
some kind of a battle in order to get
his picture material just right.
''This"-says the "note'-'was the
first film treatment written by the
author for actual production, and he
found much more difficulty in making
it than he did in any of its success
sorS. He learned his trade upon it.
His previous effort in film writing,

an entirely amateurish effort which
never reached the screen. :. An ear
lier treatment was made, discussed,
worked upon for a little and dis
carded. 1t was a prentice effort and
the author owes much to the friendly
BRO and Cameron MenZies. who put
all their experience at his disposal
during this revision. They we're
greatly excited by the general con-
ception. but they found the draft
quite impracticable for production
A second treatment was then written
This, with various notifications, was
made into scenario of the old type
This scenario again was set aside for
a second version, and this again was
revised and put back into the form
of the present treatment" etc.
THIS is essentially spectacular
film. 1t shows the world devas-
tated by modern warfare, the fabric
of society shattered and the world
depopulated by new pestilerce, the

hours behind the bars of cell
yesterday before he was bailed
out, wasn't willing to let the
matter drop.
And meanwhile Police Sergeant
George I. Helmuth, who served a
warrant on the Representative,
was home on sick leave. with a
possible fractured finger and a
swollen face, after a scuffle with
the Congressman while attempt
ing to serve a warrant.
Liberty Costs $4S
It cost $45 before Zioncheck was
finally Sprung" from the cell.
For Judge Walter j. Casey i'm.
posed a $25 fine for speeding and
an additional $40 for contempt OF
court.
In default of the money, zicn-
check went behind the bars, and
then he started telephoning for
help. Finally Representative John
j. O'Connor of New York, chair
man of the House Rules Commit
tee, appeared on the scene, paid
the $45 and the two left.
Early this morning-at 3 o'clock,
to be exact-a man who looked
like Representative Zioncheck and
said he was Representative Zion
check, appeared in the office Of a
morning newspaper to talk things
over. a.,
Threatens Something So
But Representative Zioncheck-
who first said it wasn't he who
was arrested for speeding 70 miles
an hour-said the man this morn
ing couldn't possibly have been
him. He was home and in bed, he
insisted.
After all of the excitement of
Yesterday, Representative Zion
check said he feels fine" today
and is going to start something,
but he doesn't know just what.
Asked if he intended to bring
suit for false arrest, as he threat
ened yesterday, he said:
81 may. But / shall have to
talk that over with my attorney
first. 1 am not going to let this
matter drop. They can't get

general opinion that business is
improving all over Well,
those press boys should know
the exact location Of prosperity!
There's usually a newsstand just
around the corner, too.
Of course, most of them will
admit that they really don't
have to 60 to conventions to find
out how to run a newspaper -.
Their subscribers keep them
posted from time to time.
The members of the Fourth

about the way that Senate Com.

and threatening the freedom Of
the press And it's a good
thing we have somebody who
can tell the public the difference
between Black and right.

to covers maintained by utilities
and to seek to have noise made

iShed.

While police were mailing out
thousands of circulars seeking in
formation as to the whereabouts
of Donald F. Mccarthy, "a, medi-
cal student at the Georgetown Uni
versity who had been missing since
April 6. the crew of a harbor pre-
cinct patrol boat found the stu
dents body floating at the con-
fluence Of the AnacoStia and Po-

Policemen H. s. Carrico and

cinct, discovered the body float
ing on the surface as they con-
Quoted a routine patrol Of the

with mis- father, DR.. F. w. Nc
Carthy, q physician and surgeon

Insistence on Budget
Changes Voted For
Fight With House

The Senate today was prepared
to demand a square deal for the
District in the 1887 Appropriation
bill.
Without a moments hesitation
or one voice being raised in op.
position the Senate passed the bill
yesterday in 10 minutes and APP
pointed conferees.
Armed with instructions from
their colleagues that they insist
upon the amendments they put
into the bill the conferees waited
for the House to appoint its man.
ayers so that a conference could
be started Immediately.
COnferees, d. C. Friends
Two things connected with the
passing of the bill presaged a de-
termined fight on the part of the
Senate against the efforts Of
House members to force an unbal-
anced budget upon the votelesS
residents of the Capital.
The six conferees were appointed
by the Senate are Senators Elmer
Thomas CD of Oklahoma, Carter
Glass CD of Virginia, Royal s.
Copeland CD of New York, Ger.
aid P. Nye (R.) Of North Dakota.
Henry w. KeyeS (R0 of New
Hampshire and William H. King
CD of Utah. 1t is known that
all these are friends of the District
and take the broad view that the
Federal Government should pay
fair share of the cost of running
the city. Several favor the plan of
allowing the District Commission
ers plenty Of leeway in directing
city affairs and therefore the
items in the bill were raised in
some instances above the budget
estimates.
All eyes were turned on the
House today to see what it would
do, as the Senate appointed more
conferees than the House had
members on the subcommittee that
originally wrote the bill. These
were Representatives Bernard M.
Jacobsen CD of Iowa, George w.
johnson CD of West Virginia, j.
William Otter (R0 of Pennsyl-
vania, and Thomas L. Blanton
CD of Texas, chairman.

It was also pointed out that
several years ago when Senators
Glass and Nye became dissatisfied
with action of the House managers
they refused to sign the confer.
ence report. Senator Glass has
indicated his feelings by blocking
Blanton'S request to make a state.
ment before the Senate Subcom-
mittee.
An analysis of the bill shows
the Senate added very few items
above the budget items, thereby
leaving very little room for COM
promise between their figures and
the Budget Bureau recommends

will of the Administration and
President Roosevelt.
