MODERN MAiDENS

A century ago the fastest way
. man could travel was on an ice
boat. With strong wind. smooth
Toe and good boat he could speed
along at the rate of a mile a min
ute, far faster than any steamboat
sailing vessel or railway train of
that time could 60.
The iceboat kept its place as the
speed champion for many years
after steam locomotives were in
vented. At length. however, loco
motives were made which could roll
over the rails faster than any ice
boat could glide over the ice. To-
day we have locomotives which can
travel two miles a minute and cer-
tain racing automobiles and air.
planes can shoot through space at
the rate Of six to seven miles a
minute.
Iceboats are widely used for sports
nowadays in Canada, In northern
parts of the United States and In
Great Britain, Norway, Sweden,
Finland and Holland. Some ice
boats have one sail, others have two.
Most often there are three runners,
but q Dutch type has five. One OF
the runners is rudder which
makes 1t possible to steer the boat.

a few iceboats have covered a
measured mile" at the rate Of more
than 10 miles an hour. In powerful
winds the speed has run up to 80
miles an hour for short distances.
Some cities and villages have be-

MODERN MYTH

Folk Lore Comes to Light P Producer Stars Re-
 Coliseum

A ell-established modern myth ology a series of present-day legends which are the equivalent of yesteryear's folk lore and old wives tales-Was brought to light when Twentieth Centuy-FoX exc cutives began delving into the his torical background of This Is My Affair" the Robert Taylor Barbara Stanwyck-Victor McLaglen story now at the Coliseum Theatre.
 This Is My Affair" deals with the adventures of a young naval officer who was secretly commis- stoned by President William Me- Kinley to uncover a nationwide crime ring, and who was under ar rest himself as one of the criminals when McKinley's sudden assassina- ton left him apparently doomed.
 Daryl F. Zanuck, vice-president in charge of production at Twenti- eth Century-FoX, turned the story idea over to associate producer Ken meth Macgowan and asked him to prepare a screen story. Mcgowan assigned trained scenario writers and research experts to the job, but long before the Allen Rivkin, Lamar Trotti script of This Is My Affair" came back to him, he had done little research of his own, uncovering humorous mod ern folk tales" the secret-agent story among them.
 This particular story, he dis covered had been told with New York governor who died in office and a newspaper man secretly in- vestigating conditions at Sing Sing prison as the principals. It was also told of President Lincoln and an agent who was Investigating counterfeiting in the Reconstruc- ton period immediately after the Civil War.

In the early stages of his career injuries cut him down just when it looked as if he were headed for stardom.

 Utilities and railroads are among the largest users of heavy materials and possibilities of stimulating these industries to expand and renovatt their equipment were widely sur veyed when the slump began last fall.

DRUMMER HAS TOUGHEST JOB

There Are Many Thin g S Besides Beating
 Cowhide
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, June 28.-I always wanted to be a drummer boy-but not any more.
 I found out from Charlie Car roll Al Donahue's drummer boy. The first man in the band to arrive and the last to leave is the drum mer. If he has all the instruments he must have to be a good drum mer, it takes a ten-ton truck to move him. And his instrumental overhead would make a violinist with brace of Strads look like a penny-pinching piker.
 One of the dustiest jokes around a band is for the boys to gather around and watch the drummer set up or break down" and wise crack: Aren't you sorry you didn't study the flute?"

JOE E. BROWN
 APPEARS HERE,
 FAST COMEDY
Fit for a King Opens at Capitol Is Newspaper
 Thrill Story

Joe E. Brown travels abroad in his latest adventure comedy, Fit for a King" which opens at the Capitol Theatre this evening, with the fast action leading from New York into a mythical kingdom where Joe, cast as a newshawk, meets a Missouri girl destined to become a queen.
 With Helen Mack and Paul Kelly heading a strong supporting cast, the new Brown opus offers regal fun.
 Joe starts his adventures as a reporter slowed away on a liner to track down a story. Put in the brig through the efforts of Kelly, rival correspondent, two objectives im- mediately become uppermost in Joes mind. One, revenge on Kelly, the other. a successful conclusion to his assignment.
 The story they are covering con- cerns a plot to restore a princess to the throne of a mythical king dom The princess (Helen Mack has been reared in America. While Joe and the princess become ac- quainted in the moonlight, Kelly puts the story on the wire and scores an outright scoop.
 Joe locates the town where the princess and her party will enter their kingdom. He sends Kelly off on a wild goose chase and heads for the, spot. But Kelly beats him again. Things look pretty black for Joe until he digs up the biggest story of all plot to murder the princess. But there is no time to bother about journalism. The prin- cess must first be saved. This Joe accomplishes in series of fast events, at the same time scoring a big news beat. Then he gives Kelly another news item. He and the princess are returning to America to be married.
 A large cast of favorites in "Fit For a King" include Harry Daven- port, Halliwell Hobbs, John Qualen Frank Reicher and Russell Hicks Edward Sedgwick directed.

The r-makers' plans for the remainder of the year are receiv- ing the closest attention of busi- ness forecasters, for many expect active output of 1889 models may mark a turn in the general busi- ness trend. But recent indications have been that the motor men are taking their time with plans for 1889.
 Steel Falls Back
 Steel was hard hit by the auto mobile slump, and cessation of railroad buying. This basic indus try watched hopefully the devel- opments in building and automo- piles, but saw little immediate prospect of support from the rail- roads, as the slump in traffic cut heavily into revenues, sent rail bonds back to the depression lows, and crowded several carriers close to reorganization. Steel produc- ton got no higher than about 36 percent of capacity in the spring. compared with 92 percent in April of last year.
 Lighter lines of industry held up somewhat better, although cotton mill activity has dipped about i2 percent since the beginning of the year, and has been running late about 40 percent under a year ago.
 Indications of the using up of unsold stocks of goods appeared in the fact that retail trade held up better than production Depart ment store sales of general mer- chandise in May were off only IT percent from that month of 1937.
 Government Reverses Policy
 The government did not turn back again to pump priming until April, when President Roosevelt announced a program of sharply increased relief and public works expenditure, and a reversal of the 1936-37 policy of the Washington banking and money authorities. That policy was to shut off the big unused reservoir of potential credit, to prevent what was then feared might develop into an un- healthy boom.
 Those who look hopefully to pump priming say much will de- pend on how rapidly the spending progresses. The answer to that point, they say, will help deter mine whether priming will be sufficient to counteraet the forces of depression, such as the shrink ing purchasing power accompany ing curtailed employment, and the lessened farm income accompany ing lower commodity prices.
 Cutting bank reserve require ments, and putting unused gold into the credit hopper, indicated q boost in excess reserves (unused funds) of the banking system to a total of about $3,750, 100000. Pro- ponents of the plan argued that although the banks excess re- serves were already relatively high, the boost to this huge total would exert strong pressure to put unused funds to work and would bring en- couragement to industry to dip into the credit reservoir.
