Distress Signals
 Now Uniformed

The American Alpine Club has been interested in developing standardized signal for use through out the country by people who may find themselves in distress while in the outdoors. After much study they have determined upon the fol- lowing:
 "A call for distress shall consist of 3 quickly repeated calls (audible or visuaD repeated at regular in- tervals and thus distinguished from any casual call.
 As method of signaling. a whis- tie is recommended as light to car ry, far more penetrating, and less eXhausting than vocal calls. Or visual signals; by day, a smudge regulated by a coat, waving in three wide semicircles any object attach ed to a stick, or flashes by a mir TOT; by night, flashing a light, or 3 small fires in row. The unusual nature of the signal will be im- pressed upon the observer by it's in- sistent regularity.
 These signals are to be used only where outside help is absolutely required, as the expense of a rescue party is properly borne by the res cued, and anyone receiving such a call is morally obligated to either himself effect such rescue, or if in- competent himself to effect it, to notify rangers, guides, or campers, who will then proceed to the rescue
 Anyone received such a signal, should, of course, first acknowledge it, and as an acknowledgment, the customary railroad "all clear" signal of two calls, if possible by the same method of signaling, is recom- mended. To forestall possible dupli- cation of rescue parties, the indi- vidual who is himself proceeding to the rescue may well take some means of notifying the local ranger or guides, if such notification can readily be given without unduly delaying his efforts at rescue.
 'On the same analogy, as res- cue party approaches the injured, it may repeat it's tWo-call signal, and the injured. as an aid to being found, continue repeating his three call signal

Stunt Flying and Modern Commercial Aviation
 Contrasted, Struggle

Balancing the drama and the TO- nance or modern commercial fly ing in uniquely plotted story, RKO Radios Without Orders, /" brings to the screen at the Coli scum Sunday an absorbing tale of the men who pilot today's airlin- CTS.
 The theme revolves around the responsibility of the pilots to their passengers, and emphasizes the safety first" policy that is becom- ing paramount among modern air transport companies This theme is graphically worked out in the con- trast between the lives of Robert Armstrong and Vinton Haworth, who, as commercial pilot and a stunt flyer respectively, clash both in their views of flying and in their rivalry for Sally Eilers, who portrays a stewarneSs on Arm Strong's plane.
 Trouble starts when Haworth is assigned as Armstrong's co-pilot. The rivalry turns into something more serious when Haworth's cow ardice becomes evident and his ac- tions imperil the lives of his pas sengers. This leads to an exciting climax when Haworth, lost in a storm and fearing disaster, callous- ly "bails out" in parachute, leav- ing the plane and it's human cargo ito their fate.
 Frances Sage and Charley Grape win are co-starred and the support ing cast includes Frank M. Thomas, Arthur Loft, Ward Bond and Wal ter Miller Lew Landers directed the Cliff Reid production, with J. Robert Bren and Edmund L. Hart man writing the screen play from the story by Peter B. Kyne.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 12. - Busby Berkeley is a frustrated dancer.
 His business is putting hundreds of young, beautiful and shapely girls through their paces on dance floors larger than those in most armories, but Berkeley never has been a dancer himself.
 Most of his spectacular numbers in fact, are not dance numbers His beauty choruses are chosen for grace and ability to master rou- tines. The dance director, once an artillery officer, applies his mili- tary training to his choruSes. He did it during the war when he was entertainment officer for the Third Army of Occupation in Germany and he hasn't recovered.
 When Berkeley, spare and ner- vous in frame, puts his ensembles to work he goes along for the ride out of camera range. He works every step with them during re- hearsals, and during the takes he cant keep still When they bend and dip, he bends and dips. Ii they execute a cute two-step, Ber- kelley does one too. He even imi- tates the pretty faces the girls make. He smiles and coquettes just as though he were on the stage.
 Pershing Started Him
 No graceful gazelle, he still wishes he had made an earlier start ir show business. General Pershing who gave him that entertainment job abroad, really started him.
 He returned from the army to try the stage, but wound up selling shoes. Later, luck changed and he got work as an actor, became a stage director, finally a musical comedy director That was wher he got close to dancing and dis 1scovered that he liked it. But it was too late, so he stuck to directing
 Makes Camera Dance
 When he came to Hollywood about eight years ago he couldn't catch up at first. When Sam Gold wyn asked Buzz if he could i'm prove his current crop of musicals Berkeley said Sure" Then he borrowed a cameraman and spent

That would give everyone a front-row seat and an eyeful. He used stair ways and geometric designs and fantastic sets and forgot all about the actual size of a floodlighted stage
 After Goldwyn he went to Warner Brothers and "42nd Street. He has made a lot of pictures since then, lately as director and dance director combined
 He shouts directions in raspy, hoarse voice But he still doesn't know how to dance And he ad- mits, when pressed, that he's not even a very good ballroom dancer.

HEALTH LETTER IS ISSUED NOW
Physical Examinations Re- quired Under Terri
 torial Law

The following open letter to physicians, m m bers of School Boards and parents has been is sued by Dr. w. w. Council, Com missioner of Health;
 You are undoubtedly familiar with the Territorial law requiring that every school child must have physical examination during each year
 'These examinations, in the past have possibly not been as thorough as they should have been. The Department of Health this year is trying to standardize these exam nations and make them of more benefit to the child, and the child's parents. The authority to supervise these examinations is delegated to the Department of Health by the Territorial Legislature.
 "The Territorial Department of Health is furnishing health record forms to the parents and is asking the parents to take their children to their family physician for a physical examination. The exam nation is conducted leisurely at the office of the private physician with the parents present and the child undressed. Such careful ex- animation will reveal minor devia- tions from normal which might easily be corrected at an early date, but which might lead to much more serious disturbances if they do not receive the proper at tention in time. Wherever there is Territorial public health nurse, she will be available, at the request of private physicians, to assist him during the examination.
 We are asking the cooperation of all parents, members of school boards and physicians, in conduct ing these examinations. It must, of necessity, take lot of time to examine several thousand children, and therefore, it is requested that parents begin having their children examined as early as possible, ill order that they may be allowed to enroll. The Territorial law espec- ially provides that no child be ac- cepted for enrolment in school unless he has had a physical eX- animation, and presents health certificate.
 The physicians conducting the examination will write Accept for enrolment upon the school health record form, furnished by the De- partment of Health, which will be made cut in duplicate; one copy sent to the Department of Health, and the other copy given to the school superintendent. This copy will be kept at the school as a permanent record, and accessible to the nurse, who will contact the parents where it is necessary for any defects to be corrected. The physician will bill the school board in his respective town in the amount of $1 for each examina- tion, which charge is set by the Territorial law"

Cacti Native of Americas

With one exception, all of the cacti
of the world are native to the Amer
icas. From here they have been
transported to the far corners of the
earth, and are every much at home
in Africa, the island of Mauritius,
and even in Ceylon, according to a
writer in the Los Angeles Times. In
Australia and other sections of the
globe they grow in profusion, until
many traveller has been tricked
into thinking of them as indigenous
to those countries. Yet it is in the
southwestern portion of the United
States, Lower California and old
Mexico and some sections of South
America that they are found grow
ing in their native state most album
dainty.
Some species of cacti, like the
tuna, are edible, while others are
deadly poison; a few contain juices
which are intoxicant and some bring
on insanity. The Apuntias Nopaleas
bear fruit which is commonly called
prickly pear. The products of GER
tain species of Echinocereus are
called alichocheS by the MexicanS
and strawberry cacti by Americans
due to the fine flavor of the juicy
pulp.
