"You Only Live Once" q grim
tale Of futility and suffering, is
now current on the Scren at RKO-

This Is the story of a youth,
hardened by surroundings, trying
to live up to the faith girl has in
him. Released from prison after
a third conviction, he is warned by
the warden that another sentence
to the big house will mean life,
since this particular locale has a
four-conviction life sentence law.
The boy is bitter when he leaves
but the girl is waiting for him, they
are married and stop at a charm
ing little country inn as honey
moon spot; the boy is recognized
as a criminal from pictures in a
detective magazine and they are
asked to leave. This is the begin
ming Of losing fight, for the job
which a public official had secured
for him is lost and he turns back
to his violent ways Of living since
no one else wants to trust a man
without a recommendation and
who has a criminal record.
Things go from bad to worse,
the boy is framed in a desperate
bank robbery, is given the death
sentence and in a frenzy Of fear
and with the aid of a trusty he
gets a gun and fires his way out Of
prison. He finds his girl and they
run away on a heartbreaking hope
Of escape, the law finally gets
them both.
It's a tale of horror, desperation,
a deep-abiding, unreasonable love,
of fidelity and unhappiness. Moth

"The Woman Alone" is the fea-

wistful young person commands a
following of her own.

not hope for enthusiastic commen-
dation. Despite the fact that it is
adapted from novel, THE Secret
Agent" by Joseph Conrad, we'll
known and popular author. this
story of Scotland Yard is involved
and slow of enactment.
The story deals with q young
wife, whose husband is sought for
murder. Oscar Homolka assumes
the portrayal Of Verlec, her man,
and he offers a characterization
which Is outstanding as type OF
foreign, sullen, criminal. Drab,
unnatural, the part, but Homolka
makes it a vital one. Sylvia, too,
displays a capacity for tragic act
ing, which is her particular forte.
Young Desmond TeWter, with a
voice very much like Freddy Bar
tholomew's, is cast as the re-
strained, illfated son. Likewise
does he enter into the grim busi,
ness of making this bleak nara

Interesting perhaps as an ex-

Chief Logan believed that his FAM

In this he was mistaken. His relatives
had crossed the Ohio River to the
house of an Indian trader named
Greathouse, and there they were cru
ely massacred.
Logan dictated the following speech,
which was sent to Governor Dunmore,
of Virginia:
l appeal to any white man to say if
he ever entered Logan's cabin hungry
and he gave him not meat; if he ever
came cold and naked and he clothed
him not?
During the course of the last long
and bloody war, Logan remained in
his camp, an advocate for peace. Such
was my love for the whites that my
countrymen pointed as they passed
and said: Logan is the friend of the
white man."

Tropical Bird Finds
Ideal Winter Resort

Benson-Most Bensonites, resigned
to the idea of wading through snow
drifts in galoshes until at least the early
part of July, have given up the last
lingering hope that spring is lurking
around even the most remote corner
And among our feathered friends there
is one optimistic adventurer who was
sadly disillusioned last week. At the
height of the storm one day, when a
northeast gale was all but yanking the
caves from the house, Mrs. Ward Clarke
of this city glanced out of the window
and saw perched in the yard, chirping

cardinal is a semi-tropical bird and
seldom is seen north of the Missouri
boundary. The theory was advanced
that the bird might have been blown
off it's course in the storm.

Forest Notes

Several of the European countries
having none or deficient oil or coal de-
posts have in recent years given much
study to the development of fuels that
can be produced within their own
borders Of especial interest to the
American farmer is the Development in
Europe of much improved wood-burn-
ing stove to replace the present type.
Instead Of filling up the stove with
chunks every few minutes, the i'm
proved stove need be filled with wood
only twice in "a hours, SO that the farm
family and other users enjoy a more
evenly heated home with much less at
tentiOn.
The new European stoves have prac-
tically double the heating efficiency Of
our wood stoves and are more practical,
according to direct reports received by
the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory,
Madison, Wis This utilization of wood,
has attempted to secure all information
possible on the foreign stoves for the
benefit of the American public.
Wood still remains an important fuel
in rural sections but even here inroads
have been made because of the demand
for less bulky fuel To maintain this
market, or increase it, it is necessary
that the cost of fuelwood to the Gus
toner be reduced by increasing the
heating efficiency. In general, the
average woodworking stove used in
America produces heat value of only
35 to As per cent of the heat value of
the wood used. The new type of
foreign stove obtains as high as 80 per
cent of the heat value of the wood.
The improved stove has been tried in
Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France
and Sweden and has proved salts
factory
The stove should have wide appeal
because the volume of wood required
is only one-half that usually needed
even though the cost per fuel unit re-
mains the same. One might assume
that the use of such stoves would be Of
no advantage to the woodland owner,
because they reduce the amount of fuel
burned, but the reduced cost of fuel
due to increased stove efficiency should
create much larger demand, especially
in rural districts.
