opens on Monday; Irene
Dunn and Randolph
Scott Featured

A stirring tale of American life
II the nineteenth century comes
10 lie with beautiful love story
and lovely music in Paramount's
High, Wide and Handsome, :"
which opens Monday at the Mary
and Theatre.
The main figures in the ro-
nance about which the film is
woven are Irene Dunno and Ran
iolph Scott The cast includes
Dorothy Lamour, and Elizabeth
patterson
The love story is that of Scott
and Miss Dunno, who are de-
eermined Pennsylvania farmer
nd beautiful carnival singer.
They meet, fall in love at once,
nd are married just before oil is
discovered on SCOTS farm. In
ais excitement over the exploita-
ion of his find, Scott neglects his
bride, whose disappointment at
the outcome of her marriage, add
ed to her lack of sympathy with
the quiet life of the farm, causes
her to run away, back to the gla-
NOR and turbulent life Of the car
nival
AS Scott becomes more involved
in the running of his new bust
ness, and has a run-in with rich
interests which threaten his en-
learns of his danger. At once she
realizes that her love for the man
who has ignored her is more pow
erful than the allure of the car
nival existence; and in thrill
ing climax she rushes back to his
arms.
The story, in which every at
tempt has been made to preserve
accuracy in depicting the life of
1859 was the result of research
on the part of Oscar Hammer
stein who backed up his love
story with actual historical
events.

FLOOD PICTURE AT
ACADEMY THEATRE

An exceedingly wet group of
prominent screen players expert
enced all the discomforts of an
actual Mississippi Valley flood in
Hollywood and the players were
not rescued" from their watery
predicament for nearly a month.
This damp condition was occa-
stoned by filming of tense dra-
matte situations in "On Such a
Night" opening at the Academy
Theatre Monday for a two-day
showing, all of which are laid
against the background of the
ruinous floods that last year left
a trail of havoc throughout the
Midwest.
While the danger was minimiz-
ed through every possible precau-
ton, crews on stages used for
flood scenes were ordered doubled
by Director E. A. Dupont just for
safety's sake.
One climatical scene in particu-
lar was scource of worry. Es-
ther Dale and Robert McWade are
trapped in room by rising flood
waters, and the peak Of the dra-
matte interest-as well as the
danger-occurs when the water
smashes through the windows.
The room was built in huge
tank, and extra men were posted
at every available spot to rescue
the players in the event the set
flooded too rapidly.

Christmas Seal
Makes Tuberculin
Tests Possible
Two Active Cases Discovered
In Stearns County Dur
ing Recent Tests

Two cases Of active tuberculosis
were discovered in the Christmas
Seal high school tuberculin test
ing survey recently completed in
Stearns County by DR.. Kathleen
Jordan Of Granite Falls, according
to the report of the Minnesota
Public Health Association.
A large number of boys and girls
who were negative to the test in
the survey two years ago had posi-
tive reactions this year. A higher
percentage Of positive reactions was
found than is the average for the
state.
These three facts point to the
necessity for more intensive tuber-
culosis work in Stearns County"
DIR. Jordan declared.
Nearly 5000 boys and girls Of the
Junior and Senior high schools in
the county were given the tuber-
culin test in this survey. The num-
Der Of positive reactions varied
throughout the county but the aver
age was considerably higher than
is usually experienced dn these
surveys and indicates that there are
some open cases Of tuberculosis not
under treatment to which the boys
and girls are being exposed" DR..
Jordan said.
DR.. Jordan highly commended
the schools and the parents for
their cooperation. A gratifyingly
large percentage of students
brought consent slips for the test.
Freeport had a 100 per cent record
with every student tested. In St
Cloud, nearly SO per cent Of the

Cliff Donke
Witnessed
Air Raid
Described Sensation of Bomb
ing Of Fenyang, China,
October %
TRAINS OF WOUNDED
About Fifty Bombs Rained
From Skies-Hospitals
Filled with Wounded

With death raining from the
skies, and under fire for the first
time, Clifford Domke, former Sank
Centre boy and Carleton College
student in China, described the
sensation he experienced in the
bombing Of Fenyang. October 23rd,
as creepy feeling" dn a recent
letter.
AS carried in this paper two
weeks ago taken from dispatches
to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Domke, from the American Board
in China, Clifford had left Fenyang,
Shansi headed for South China.
His evacuation, together with three
others, followed an order from the
American CONSUL for Americans
to evacuate Shansi province. No
further word Of his position has
been received since. It Is believed
possibly he Is bound for the United
States
This latest letter, relating his
trip from Tsingtao to Fenyang via
the crowed, dingy Chinese railroads,
was mailed from Fenyang by Chi
nese aviators. The Chinese were all
college graduates and ironically.
Cliff pointed out, some Of them had
received their training in Japan.
After the attempted bombing Of the
airbase, they were ordered to leave,
and they took Cliffs letter out Of
Shansi.
He describes the bombing of
Fenyang thus: Fifteen planes
came over; five bombers and ten
pursuit ships, who delivered about
fifty bombs on what they supposed
was the airfield. but they missed.
It gave US all creepy feeling to see
the huge monsters come flying over
and then see the sun flash on the
bombs as they left the rack and
then a few seconds later hear them
explode. No damage was done ex-
cept that our carter (who toted
them from the station) was hit in
the head and suffered a gaping
wound larger than a dollar. DR..
Judd has taken him to the hospital.
The hospital Is full Of wounded
from the front. There are generals
and privates alike here"
Clifford writes Of the war with
all the hatred Of the slaughter he
can muster. Here's his description
of wounded Chinese returning to
hospitals. "Here, too, were numer-
Gus troop trains of the Chinese
which had come In from the north
with many wounded soldiers. They
were pitiable lot, the soldiers;
some had broken and shattered
