Inc story OF thlS SUrange love
between a woman wanderer,
searching for life. and a man who
fled from his conscience, is told
vividly and with sympathetic un-
derstanding.
1t is a great story told against
a flaming and colorful back
ground-for any review of this
picture would be reniss that did
not take into full account the
gorgeous colorings-beautiful sun
sets with exquisite shadings and
scarlet dawns-that add so much
in bringing the story to life. Prac-
tically every sequence of this re-
markable film is a Photographic
masterpiece.
Dietrich in Great Role
Marlene Dietrich, as Domini En-
filden, plays with great under
standing the story of the devout
girl who was called upon to set
tie so poignant a problem. And it
may be said in passing that the
remarkable Dietrich beauty is
shown at full tide in this color
film.

turned to the half-invisible form Of

The skipper hesitated a moment.

''Firstr' she breathed, with a catch
OF joy in her throat. Then you mean,
later, we can be married? Oh, Daddyr
She sprang to her feet, but stopped
as another cheer broke forth on deck,
and was answered by fainter shout
from the rail of the Kwanice. The
wheelhouses were level, and from
circular window aboard the silver
whale there emerged a flaming red
head with white yachting cap
perched on it. Jerry grinned and
waved.
Crowds jammed the Chinook for the
rest of the evening. The streamliner
seemed to be carrying fewer than
usual. Captain Lovett, conferring.
briefly with his purser as he marched,
off just before midnight, with Mary
clinging to his arm, seemed quite
pleased. He even stopped a moment
as a newspaper cameraman banged a
f1ashlight at them. He lifted his gold
braided cap to the shouting crowd.
In the car going home, Mary said:
Daddy, what did you mean, back
there in the wheelhouse, when you
said you were going to teach Jerry
ferTyboating first? Did you mean that
afterward we might .?'
''You really want to marry him,
Mary?"
''Yes, Daddy Il do"

Lovett, secretly fearing the young
man was losing heart, determined to
stir him up bit. The same sign, he
reasoned, soon would lose its drawing
power. And drawing power was what
he needed to keep his ship running full
So, the next afternoon two of the,
Chinook's deckhands laboriously car,
ried two sheets Of veneer aboard, and
Chips sawed two letters out of them.
That night, as the Kwanice electric
ally beseeched permission for Jerry
and Mary to become man and wife,
the letters were raised upright and
lashed to the Chinook's stack. The
crowd cheered. Cluster lights set on
deck played over the curt answer to
Jerrys plea. The plea this evening
was: Aw PLEASE!
The Chinook's answer was brief: NO
The Kwanice's young owner seemed
to resent this. He spoke a word to his
grizzled skipper. The telegraph jan
gled and faster beat of the silver
whales motors shot her ahead. A
chorus OF shouts and catcalls followed
her from the crowded deck of her
rival. Jerry began to wonder if his
campaign was worth going on with.
The Chinook's NO had been fairly
definite. Still. Mary had told him,
over the phone. to keep up his fight.

But the NO didn't look like it. And

new scenes and new faces
will greet you and snapshots will
permanently record them.
Don't just shoot promiscuously.
Give some thought to your compost
ton and include only what you really
want to photograph. II you are taking
picture of an individual or a group,
focus the lens on the principal subject
and get as close as you can; the closer
you get the larger the image will ap-
pear in your picture.
If you are taking landscape picture
study the view you are getting in your
finder You can often improve your
picture and composition tremendously
by moving few steps.
Then there is the shape of the pic
ture to consider This is controlled by
the way the camera is held - verti-
cally or horizontally. A snapshot such
as that of the young lady at the right
obviously should be taken with the
camera in vertical position.
Trimming the print itself may help
to cut out unattractive or unnecessary
details which we're not noticed when
the picture was taken. Trimming. too, will
often enable drastic change to Be made
in the composition. Cutting of the print at
top and bottom to make a long. narrow
horizontal panel is often very effective.
Before arriving at decision place strips
of paper on the print and move them about
until the most attractive framing is secured.
The picture at the top would lead one to
believe that a vacation romance is in full
bloom. 1t shows, too, how much composition
and an attractive setting help. The picture
was taken at rather close range so as to get
as large an image as possible, thus eliminating
all objects that might detract from the point
of interest This lens aperture was at f.S
and the shutter speed at $50 of a second.
1t was rather dull day when the picture
of the girl on the boat was snapped. so the
lens aperture was set at I'll and the shutter
speed at 1/5O of second. Had there been
a bright sun the shutter speed would prob
ably have been set at 400 of a second and

perhaps the lens aperture stopped down to

box-type camera the next to the smallest
stop would have been used.

Question: I haze Observed thaf in my efforts
TO snap portrait ''eIose-Hbs" Of faces, the teo-
inres always come oM harsh. and the shadors
about ihem are Sery black and unpleasant.
What is the tr0Nbie2 (O.E.F)
Answer: The harsh appearance OF the face
is the result of contrasty lighting. When
pictures are made outdoors, a more pleasing
result is obtained by placing the subject in
the shade rather than in bright sunlight. A
snapshot of /25 at 1853 or is IS will probably
be sufficient if the shade is not too deep. With

support and give time exposure of one-half

elimination and adhere to published
rates. The contract carrier, on the
other hand. Is free to pick and choose
among shippers, and under the act it
may discriminate in its services to
them and its charges may be called in
question only if they are found to fall
below = reasonable minimum level. BY
reason OF these circumstances, contract
carriers are enabled to give higher
type OF special and personal service to
their shippers than is possible for COM
mon carriers, and it is the need and
demand for this service which consti-
tutes the chief advantage of and justi-
fication for the contract carrier in the
present motor transportation system.
Peril to Common Carriers Seen.
This inherent and inevitable dis
advantage of the common carriers is
actuated and becomes a source Of posi-
tive peril to them when competitors,
claiming to be contract carriers, are
promiscuous in their dealings with
shippers, shop around among them
freely and conflne their actual con-
tracts to individual shipment. Under
such conditions, shippers, especially
those who have large volume of
traf1c to offer, may play the contract
carrier against the common carrier
and contract carriers against each
other, with the result that the unfair
and destructive competition which
Congress sought in the act to abate
Is instead intensified, particularly in
view Of the fact that the publication
Of their specific rates as required by
the act makes the common carriers
open targets. Ultimately, also, such
conditions prove detrimental not only
to the carriers, both common and con-
tract, but to the shippers, the public
safety and welfare Of employees.
Not only is this true but conditions
Of this character greatly impede the
administration of the act"
Oral Paets Banned.
Hitherto the commission has re-
quested contract operators to file here
copies Of any written agreements and
memoranda on any oral agreement,
and the contract operators have been
permitted to take single shipments
without any restrictions.
Under the new regulation these oral
agreements will be done away with
entirely and the carriers themselves
will retain the written contract, hold

advantage to the small common car
rier, who Is certainly as deserving Of
consideration as the small contract
carrier and who is numbered by the
thousands. We further believe that
they will benefit the shippers, because
they will tend to stabilize the motor
carrier industry and to promote con-
ditions under which more efficient and
dependent service can be rendered"
In his dissent, Commissioner Lee
said that the proposed contracts will
be so indefinite that their prepara-
ton would tax the ingenuity OF the
far-famed Philadelphia lawyer"
In my opinion" he said, I'VE are
without authority to limit contract
carriers to contracts Of the character
specified. The restriction also appears
to me to be unwise" He said he be-
lieved many small contract carriers
would be put out Of business.
He pointed to that section of the
new regulation which requires that
the contracts cover Stated period"
Of time, but specifies that they need
not cover long periods or fixed
amounts Of trat1ic and be capable of
ready readjustment to changing con-
ditions
II prefer to follow the procedure
provided by the Congress and to re-
move any undue disadvantage of the
common carriers by increasing the
minimum charges Of contract carriers
to the extent necessary to preserve
the proper balance between the two
classes of carriers" he said.

SPY IS ACCUSED

New Figure Is Suspected
in Sensational Kidnap-
Murder.
By tie Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
FLEMINGTON, N. j., April 23.-
Justice Of the Peace e. r. Hummer of
Frenchtown said today An information
had been filed with him by private
detective charging a new figure, de-
scribed as AN international spy" with
conspiracy in the Lindbergh kidnap-
murder case.
Hummer said he was preparing
warrant which would be delivered to
State police to serve.
Col. Kimberling Advised.
Col. Mark o. Kimberling, State po-
lice superintendent, said at Trenton
he had been advised of the action, that
he had conferred with Attorney Cen
eral David T. Wilentz, and that upon
the latter's advice he had instructed
State policemen at Pennington to refer
the warrant to the Hunterdon County
prosecutor, Anthony NJ. Hauck, IT,, II
it were offered to them.
The information was sworn to,
Hummer said, by John j. McNally OF
Jersey City, who said he had spent
the past two years investigating the
Lindbergh crime.
G. Lloyd Fisher. chief counsel for
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, who was
executed n year ago for the murder
OF the Lndbergh baby, said he was
absolutely not interested" in the in
formation, which he said was offered
to him by McNally more than q year
ago.
Believed International
The information and supporting
amdavit by McNally expressed his be-
lief that the man named was involved
In conspiracy to kidnap and murder
Charles A. Lindbergh, 1r. McNally
said he believed the man named was
In New York, Chicago or Cleveland.
McNally said his theory was that the
Lindbergh crime resulted from an In
ternational plot involving foreigners
whose enmity had been incurred by
Col. Lindbergh.

GREENbELT LABOR
CHARGE IS DENIED
Discrimination in Periodic
Lay-offs Declared "Un-
Substantiated."

Charges of discrimination against

ers in periodic lay-of1s from the
Greenbelt, Nd, housing project were
termed "unsubstantiated" by Acting
win today.
BaldWin's statement followed in
vestigation of complaints by non-
unionists that the job was controlled"
by Washington labor organizations.
Leaders of the complaining workers
had announced they were forming
committee for recognition of their
rights"
Today's statement pointed out that
Of the discharged skilled workers 292
were non-union and BAL union mem
bers.
Coincident with the release Of the
statement, Henry McKinneu. Catons-
vile, Md, electrician. representing the
dlsgruntled employees, said his COM
mittee would ask a hearing on the
matter.
Recommendation Reversed.
Charges of discrimination either in
favor of or against any particular
group Of workmen," Baldwin declared,
are disproved by careful investiga-
ton made by Mercer G. Evans, direc-
tor OF labor relations of the Resettle-
ment Administration.
In every construction project in
which large numbers of examinations
are found necessary" Baldwin con-
tinued, lit often occurs that groups of
workmen feel that dlscrimina tions and
preferences are shown in selection of
those to be separated from the pay
roll. Supervisors were instructed by
| the Resettlement Administration TO
make their selections for termination
on the basis of efficiency and to use
all possible care to avoid acts which
might be interpreted as discrimina-
tory"
Several recommendations by project
| foremen which might have been re-
garded as discriminatory were reversed
by the project management in order
that the Resettlement Administration
might be protected in pursuing the
policy OF rigid impartlality,' Baldwin
declared.
Tydings' Aid Sought.
Theodore H. Evans, Capitol Heights,
Md, electrician, employed on the s10,-
| 600 900 low-rent housing project, said
today the workers committee would
seek congressional aid. The group will
call on Senator Millard Tydings Of
Maryland, who has already been con-
tacted in the matter, Evans declared.
Some 5000 men are employed on
the project, but 1000 of these are
scheduled for discharge within the
next month. Resettlement officials
pointed out that personnel must be
reduced as the job nears completion.

FURTHER HARLAN
REPORTSAWA|TED
Ia Toilette Committee Re-
cesses Probe of Conditions
in Mine District.

Reports on Bloody Harlan's" current
reception Of organizers Of the United
Mine workers were being awaited over
the week end as the Senate Civil Lib
critics Committee recessed its probe OF
conditions in the notorious Kentucky
soft coal district until Monday.
Armed with explanations of the ma
tional labor relations act and with
excerpts from testimony already taken
before the La Follettee committee, the
organizers were ordered into Harlan
County about 10 days ago.
Kidnapping Is Related.
As the committee wound up yester-
day afternoon, it heard how strike
in the Clover Splint mine had been
broken in September, 1885, by kidnap-
ing the vice president of the union
armed deputy sheriffs to patrol streets
in front of the strikers homes.
The kidnapped union officer, Howard
Williams, colored, said two armed
deputies routed him out of his home
at night, carried him into the nearby
Virginia mountains and threatened
him with death if he ever returned
to Harlan.
Williams said the deputies were Ben
Cnthank, for whom the committee
has been searching for two months,
and George Lee. Lee later took the
stand to deny participating in the
kidnapping.
A. r. Matthews, superintendent of
the mine, admitted turning the strike
situation over to Sheriff Theodore
Middleton and his deputies.
Criticism of Governor.
Earlier, the committee heard Gov.
A. B. (Happy) Chandler criticized for
giving no protection to Harlan miners
in exercise of their civil liberties, al
though the United Mine Workers had
indorsed his election.
5hG committee also heard former
Deputy Henry M. Lewis tell how he
had been forced to kick back SIS
of his 5000 monthly wages to Sheriff
Middleton.
