tic story ever written about the
historic United States Naval Acad-
emy, Navy Blue and Cold, steep
ed in colorful traditions of the in

the most distinguished motion pic
ture in which Greta Garbo has yet
appeared Conquest" stirring ro-
nance Of the fabulous Napoleon
.oBnaparte and the woman he low
ed, in which the glamorous Swed-
ish star makes her first co-starring
appearance with Charles Boyer,
hero of The Garden of Allah" In
the new story, filled with the mem
ories of an apochal period in world
history, Garbo plays the role of the
beautiful Countess Walewska who
forsakes her home and her husband
in an heroic attempt to win over
Napoleon and thus save the life of
her country. Boyer in an astound-
ing relistic makeup is seen as Ma

Wednesday and Thursday = The
exotic atmosphere of the interior
of North China-rarely if ever be-
fore shown in a motion picture and
particularly timely today with
China in the headlines comes to
the screen in 'West of Shanghai, ;"
a melodramatic thriller from War
ner Bros. Boris Karloff, chiefly
familiar to movie audiences from
his playing of horror" pictures, is
war lord. He is a Chinese bandit
general, and, fortunately, isn't in
the least horrible. He's genial and
good-natured and despite the fact
that he does a little killing now
and then a rather likeable fellow
on the whole. The play revolves
around the possession and owner
ship Of an oil concession. Jim Hal
let, an American played by Gordon
Oliver, has discovered the field,
borrowed money to develop it, but
it is about to be foreclosed on him
| because he hasn't enough cash. The
feminine romantic interest is car
ried BY Beverly Roberts.

Bearing the recommendations
and praises of social, moral and
health societies throughout the ma
tion, Damaged Lives" comes to
the Strand Theatre on Monday and
Tuesday, January II and 18. It
will be presented twice each even
ing, starting at Z p. m. to an adult
audience only, no one under sixteen
being admitted. The picture de-
rives its Importance as a great so
cial document from the fact that
it presents the young man and
womanhood of today with a force
full picture of what can happen
through ignorance and laxity in so
cial hygiene. Heretofore shrouded
in mystery, secrecy and sham mod
esty, the problem of social disease
is here attacked with intelligence
and honesty, and with no other
purpose than to drive home the
necessity for enlightenment for the
protection of future generations.
As presented at the Strand Theatre
on Monday and Tuesday, January
Z and Is, Damaged Lives has
been highly recommended by the
American Social Hygiene Associa-
tion, a national organization of

Bicycle Safety Campaign

If all Of the school children
who ride bicycles can be made
safety conscious a substantial
step will have been taken to-
ward the reduction of street
and highway hazards. This
is a possibility, now that a
campaign looking toward that
objective is being urged.
Boys and girls comprise a
very definite factor in dealing
with the street traffic prob
lem. If all will heed the les
son they are being taught
they can be decidedly helpful
in improving the safety of the
streets. Many of these chill
dren ride to and from school
twice each day when sessions
are held. They also use their
wheels at other times. If all
become familiar with and con-
form to the traffic restrictions

A number Of circumstances

feeling that a new war in the

start at almost any moment,
says the St. Paul, Mimi, Press.
"The apparently well-substan-
tiated reports that both Japan

, selves, have lent confirmation
to the idea that hostilities
. would commence with the
, coming of spring.
Tension between the two
nations is admittedly high,
and neither seems to do much
in the way of mitigating it;
but that does not mean the
potential conflict is shortly to
materialize. There are on the
other side of the scales a num-
Der Of factors of such weight
as to make it extremely IN
likely that war will break out
for quite a while yet. Per
maps the best indication of the
real intentions of either party
IS the fact that the Incidents
which have been mounting up
have all been settled quickly
and fairly quietly and some
times at the cost of consider
able "face" to one side or the
other.
Neither Japan nor Russia, |
though both may think a final |
reckoning inevitable, can af-
ford to fight the other under
the present circumstances:
neither, therefore, will do
anything to precipitate hostil-
ties. Japan is fully occupied,
nllltarily and financially, in
china, and cannot afford
,rouble on another front.
While the Soviet Union has it's
'wn difficulties, both internal

Atlanta Had Other Names

In 1921 the land which was the
site of the founding of Atlanta was
coded by the Creek Indians to the
state. The first cabin was built in
1888 and in 1886 engineers drove
the stake which was to mark the
end of the proposed state railroad.
For that reason the towns first
name was Terminus. In 1843 the
name was changed to Marthasville
in honor of the daughter of Governor
Lumpkin. In 1847 it was incorporat-
ed as city with the name of At
lanta, probably suggested by the
railroad which was called the West
ern & Atlantic. 1t was made the
capital of the state in 1868.
