Two Great Artists
In Outstanding Picture

Greta Carlo reaches the greatest
heights of her acting career In Lon
quest" which opens Sunday at the
Kootenai theatre and in which she
is costarred for the first time with
Charles Boyer in a memorable por-
travail of the role of Napoleon Bon
aparte.
Here is acting of new high
order. AS the young Polish coun-
tess. Marie Walewska, who ecour-
ages the infatuation of Napoleon to
further the interests of her own
country but ultimately falls IN love
with him herself, Carlo once again
stands out as the most distinguished
actress on the screen today
Boyer. likewise, wins fresh laurels
in the role of Napoleon, a portrayal
which shows the man not IN the
exaggerated terms in which history
has painted him. but as living and
breathing man with passion
crazed ambition to rule the world
but with a tenderness and under
standing for those he loved
Metro GoldWyn Mayer provided
the story with settings and cos
tunes OF a spectacular nature,
among the outstanding scenes beng
Napoleon's tragic retreat from Mos
cow. the idyllic scenes at the beau
tiful Castle Finckensteln where Ma
poleon and Countess Walewska made
q temporary home and the spectac-
ular ballroom of the PontIatoWskl
palace in Warsaw.
There can be no doubt in the
public mind that Conquest is well
titled. It Ia CARLOS conquest, which
is not to detract from the triumph
of Boyer and the supporting cast. the
direction, photography and impress
sive technical perfection OF the
whole picture.

MEDIATOR ACTIVE
IN RAIL DISPUTE
Federal Official Confers With
Factions in Effort to
Avert Strike.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. August 2s-A Federal
mediator conferred today with repre-
sentatives of the big fve railroad
operating brotherhoods and Car
riers' Committee In an attempt to
avert a threatened strike OF 350,000
RAILROAD employees.
After the conferences, held sep
arately with each group. Dr.. William
M. Leiserson, chairman OF the National
Mediation Board, said the brother
hoods officials had presented a for
NAL demand for 20 per cent increase
in wages and were still holding
out for it
The carriers. he said, contended
they we're unable to pay the higher
scale because increased operating costs
had reduced net income
The mediation board sent DR. Lesser
son here after the Carriers Committee,
representing 86 railroads, rejected the
wage demand and the brotherhoods
debated the setting OF strike date
Both men agreed to present their
arguments to 4 mediator.
Todays conferences, held behind
closed doors. consisted entirely. DR..
Leiserson said. Of the presentation OF
the dsputants' arguments for and
against the increase Neither repre-
sentatives OF the brotherhoods nor the
carriers would comment on the pro-
ceedings.

II there are checks or money or
ders, its usually an easy. matter to
return them, even II there is no en-
closing letter and the envelope bears
no return address.
Incidentally, the post Offices COL
lected sl6,l8l,79 in loose currency
which couldn't be delivered last year.
Despite the campaign Of postal ON
cials to make the public return-ad-
dress conscious, the number OF dead
letters increases steadily. There were
some 100000 handled last year, A
substantial increase over the previous
year.
Go TO "Nixie" Clerks First.
The envelopes don't go to the dead
letter Offices unless there obviously
is no chance Of delivering it. Errors
in towns or States are streightened
out by the NIKE" clerks wherever
possible-clerks so-called because they
are given the no such post Office let
ters.
Each dead letter Office disposes Of
its own accumulation, but Cowles
keeps general track OF the whole sys-
tenn
On October II. l777, the CONT
mental Congress made provisions for
AN inspector Of dead letters" At 4
salary OF 500 year The inspector
was enjoined to take no copy OF any
letter whatever and not to divulge
their contents to any but Congress
or those whom they may appoint for
the purpose"
Later acts strengthened the sanctity
OF the letter. so that not even q con-
gressional committee could inspect a
private letter.
There are always tables heaped
high with dead letters in Cowles' de-
partment, on the third floor Of the
city post office. Seeing so many. it
might surprise you to learn that the
postmen deliver 999 out OF every
1000 letters mailed-a pretty fair
record.
There's also the division of dead
parcels, quite another thing. You'll
find almost anything there, from
ships models to book ends and from
baby carriages to false teeth.
