COLISEUM DRAMA
Seen THIS EVENING
FOR LAST TIMES

Edward G. Robinson has the
greatest role of his career in THE
Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse,' which
film ends tonight at the Coliseum
Theatre. That is plainly the unani-
nous verdict of the audience which
was thrilled, fascinated and highly
amused at the showing of this ex-
traordinary, unconventional, BIZ
zarre motion picture fashioned by
Warner Bros. from the plot of the
stage play by the same name which
enjoyed long runs in both London
and New York.
Long famous for his portrayals of
ruthless criminals, Robinson has the
great fortune in this picture of
being able to demonstrate the high
order of his acting skill by enacting
an engrossingly complex character
"a Park Avenue doctor who spends
his days in the practice of medicine,
his nights in the practice of crime.

or Man RiUer Wins
In Fight on Town
Louisiana Village Cives Up
after lOO-Year Battle.

VIDALIA, LA.-Ol' Man River
has been browbeating this town for
more than 100 years, but he's going
to be fooled soon.
The big yellow currents that crush
against Vidalia's levees will pound
in vain, for soon Vidalia won't be
there. They're moving Vidalia back
a quarter-mile, and the currc ats can
undercut the bikes and the bikes
can slither into the river-Vidalia's
1900 people won't care. They're
tired of fighting the river, anyway.
It's been going on 100 years.
Their predecessors and bands of
slaves carted the earth to build the
dikes against the currents. The
dikes grew higher with the years.
Sometimes it looked like or Man
Rivers fight; sometimes it looked
like Vidalia's.
The river took temporary posses
sion during the devastating flood of
1927. Vidalia moved back and
strengthened the levees, now tower
ing above many homes. In the
spring of 1887 the levees mounted
again. But the river changed it's
course.
United States army engineers
Strengthened the bends above the
town, dredged channels and per-
formed little surgery, but the river
would not be quieted.
Engineers cut through Giles bend
north of the town. It made the river
only more dangerous.
The current was DETECTED to the
protection levee around Vidalia's
front and great slices of land weak
ened and fell into the water.
Works Progress administration
engineers moved into the front line
of attack. They began the tedious
process of mapping out new town
site, quarter-mile from the banks.
A new courthouse and a Jail rose
on the new location. Today the new
town is growing; the old is moving
back to safety.
1t didn't do any good to moan,
"River, stay way from my door,"
They had to move the door.

Zululand Has Champagne
Tree; It's Kind of Palm

DURHAM, NATAL, SOUTH AT
RICA.-Water is scarce in the north
of Zululand, but the Zulus don't care
so long as champagne continues to
grow on trees.
The champagne" tree is the ma
sala palm, which fourishes in an
arid tract of country that extends
for 60 miles along the Zululand coast
and so or 60 miles inland.
To tap the palm one of the short
branches is knocked off. A piece
of palm leaf is placed just below the
cut to form kind of spout, and
below that calabash, into which
flows the juice, which the Zulus call
masala.
Masala tastes just like cham
payne, according to those who have
tried it. It is non-alcoholic, but "a
hours later masala turns into bu-
sulu, which is a potent form of al.
cohol. Wait for 48 hours, and it be-
comes liquor which is said to pro-
duce complete intoxication within Is
minutes.

Mystery Life Chemical
Is Found by Smithsonian

Observation-Disclosures of
mystery chemical which probably
never will be seen but which makes
mans life on earth possible was an
nounced recently by the Snithson-
ian institution.
DR.. E. D. McAlister, physicist of
the institution, reported he had
found an activator, or pilot chemi-
cal, present in the process of photo
synthesis in which sunlight is con-
verified into solid matter by chloro-
phyl, the green coloring matter Of
plants.
Without this conversion of light
into matter by chlorophyl, man
would perish. He would have no
green plants to eat, his animals
would be unable to survive for lack
of food, and he would have no wood,
oil or coal.
The progress of photosynthesis al
ways has been believed to be the
use of the suns energy by chloro-
phyl to take carbon dioxide out of
the air, synthesize it with other ma
terials, principally water, and pass
it along to other plant cells to make
them grow.
The Smithsonian scientist found,
in series of delicate experiments,
however, that the process is more
complicated. When he flashed
strong light on a group of young
wheat seedlings they did not start
to absorb carbon dioxide immediate
ly. There was brief time lag be-
fore the process started. And when
the light was turned off similar
lag occurred with the plants contin-
uing to absorb the gas, contrary to
previous theories.

Peace And Social Justice
By MEDORA C. PETERSEN

include scrap iron and oil, on peace
time basis. But to permit the nam
ing of the aggressor and to take eco
nomic steps which would work to
his disadvantage, is to betray the very
conception of neutrality and is bound
to lead to involvement.
Not Enough Thought.
The most potent danger of be-
fuddled thinking on the war situa-
ton is that of believing that in war
may be found an answer to the I'M
employment problem and economic
security. No more fallacious con-
tention could be made. True, war
and war preparation brings a mush-
room boom. Already the headlines
have proclaimed Minneapolis fac
tories ready to produce goods needed
to carry on war. But after war is
certain to follow depression, losses
and confusion. And the depression
and debts that follow any war far
over-balance any advantage to the
people or individual profits gained.
There must be determination not
to underwrite another war, but rath-
er to underwrite security and free
dom at home as step toward
world betterment. There must be
less willingness to spend for arma-
ments and more resolution to sup
port a program of providing en-
ployment There should be inaugu-
rated through world economic CO.
operation sound foreign policy for
all with the resources of the world
at the disposal of mankind; that is,
freer access to markets for all, freer
access to raw materials for all, i'm
proved labor standards by interna-
tional agreement and stabilized cur
rencies.
Security Needed.
The greatest needs of all the peo-
Piles of the world today are economic
security and just and enduring
peace. That peace must be more
than absence of war or violence, but
also a positive principle in human
relationships, and can be accom-
plished only through free coopera-
ton for the common good. The lib
erty of the individual is basic, and
although the members of society must
accept much control. in the common
interest, they must have the right
to contribute to decisions and freely
to express differing opinions, pro-
tected from oppression and intoler-
ance.
Justice provides the foundation for
peace and freedom. Social change
is inevitable but it must be accom-
plished by peaceful and democratic
methods consistent with the preser-
walton of basic human rights. These
in essence are the principles of the
Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom, an organization
which had its inception during the
World war, when women of many
nations, including the late Jane
Addams of Hull House fame repre-
senting the United States, met at
The Hague for the purpose of unity
ing the forces of peace even in that
perilous hour. And today, may all
peace-loving Americans with calm
ness and tolerance, maintain their
convictions for peace and social JUS
tice as courageously as did that great
woman leader of our nation.

twenty-five years ago the world
abandoned the ways of peace and
was resorting to war as means of
settling differences between nations.
Today, apparently, some of those same
nations are acting upon the old theory
that justice may be secured through
methods of violence.
But twenty-five years is too short
a time to forget the anxietieS, the
horrors, the wastes and the burdens,
which accompanied and followed the
World war. The futility of war is
further emphasized by the fact that
the sparks of discord which have
grown into the present European
conflagration were lit when injus-
tees were permitted expression in
the terms of the Treaty of Versailles
During these intervening years, the
searchlight has been turned upon
the sources of international misun-
Outstanding, and citizens here and
elsewhere have come to realize that
SSOIlOllIS Stl CSS 1CSulIlIlS llOHl u dOC
barriers, lack of access to raw ma
terials, monetary instability, and the
greed of the munitions ring for pro-
fits regardless of national lines, were
factors in 1914 and are still factors
which lead nations to war. To illus
trate the last point, it was reported
recently in the press that an Amer
lean firm refused an order for tools
solicited by German representatives
on the grounds that the firm could
not be sure of its pay from Germany.
A few days later, the German rep
resentatives were back with the order,
this time underwritten by French
munition organization. With such
information now available, it can be
said that the sentiment for peace in
America today is decidedly stronger
than it was in 1914.
A Better Informed Populace.
Although the techniques for use
of radio and motion pictures as well
as the press have been improved in
these twenty-five years, the nature
of propaganda has been exposed, and
the people have been made aware
of the danger of looking at only one
side of an issue. This experience
should tend to make men and women
slow to pass judgments, and careful
to refrain from making uncharitable
statements, and using catch phrases.
1t should tend to make them refuse
to disseminate hatred.
Such attitudes are those of the
neutral, regardless of where the SYM
pathies may lie. There is decidedly
strong sentiment in the United States
today against this country taking sides
or participating in any foreign strug-
gle. The conviction of our people is
that America cannot settle the quar-
rels of other continents, and that the
democratic institutions of this nation
must not be jeopardized by enter
ing the struggles abroad.
The neutrality of the United States
in the European conflict has been
asserted by the President, and the
neutrality law has been invoked by
prohibiting the sale of munitions.
Through this law it is recognized
that the munitions business is a mat
ter of public concern. A logical next
step would be putting the sale of
secondary war materials, which would
