Thrilling scenes in the prize ring
constitute some OF the highlights
of the picture. but more notable
than anything else il the deft
touch with which the comedy has
been applied. Only excellent di-
rection by Kurt Eeumann and
skillful playing could have pro-
duced 30 many very human situa-
tons which lead to naturally pro-
voked laughter.
Story Of Press
A thrilling story of the power Of
the press as an instrument for
public good is Monogram's Star
Reporter" co-featured with I'm
married" at the Riviera
The story of John Randolph.
ideahstic publisher, Star Report
er" concerns one newspapers CAM
paign against crime in a city
rampant with graft and corrup-
ton, and tells how r a d ] p his
paper elected William Burnette
district attorney to clean up the
city. Randolph is engaged to Bur-
nette's daughter.
Together Randolph and Burnette
crusade against crime. until Bur
nette openly declares he will not
charge murderer Draper with muir
der, but with manslaughter. John,
not knowing that Burnette is back
ing down because Draper has in.
formation that will ruin Randolph,
then turns against his friend and
works to get him out of office.
Solved ut Midnight
But Burnette's daughter. in love
with John, solves all problems in
a dangerous midnight expedition,
and there is an exciting climax
as John, seeing what a fool he has
been, races to save Barbara from
the murderer's revenge.
Warren Hull does a nice job as
John Randolph role which calls
for a wide range of acting, from
comedy to emotional drama. Mar
sha Hunt, a very capable young
actress, is seen as Barbara, and
Morgan Wallace, who has the
meanest eyes in the world" plays
Draper, the murderer, with telling
effect.

Burr.bIannerIlassett

Crossing the Ohio, on our way,
brought to mind Burr and Blenner-
hassett. Truth is stranger than
fiction. An Irish gentleman mar.
ries a noble English girl. She is
his niece, and the marriage illegal
for that reason. Her parents never
become reconciled, society is Of.
Tended, and they are ostracized.
Hence they leave for America. They
invest $4,000 Of the original for
tune of $160,000, in beautiful
home. They select an ideal, but
isolated island in the Ohio river,
which has ever since been called by
their name, Blennerhassett. The
raiatial mansion is richly furnished
with pictures, statues and draper
les. Outside are parks, gardens,
drives and stables for horses. There
are many servants, guests, and ex-
travagant entertainments. Blen"
rerhassett is happy in his chemical
laboratory, fools paradise.
Down the beautiful Ohio, in a
sort of houseboat, floats a sinister
being He is Of finest ancestry, but
unaccountably a moral degenerate
He has been on the staff of Arnold
and of Washington, and vice presi-
dent for four years. But alas, he
has slain Hamilton, and the east
regards him as a murderer. 1t may
be the west will flock to him, and a
great empire will be established.
Wildly ambitious, he thinks of
wrenching the vast territory of
Louisiana from the Union, with
New Orleans as his capital. Eng
land helping, Mexico can be taken
from Spain. England will loan
money, and support him with a
fleet.
With such scheme, and with
7attery and promises he will win
the west. He enters the home of the
Blennerhassetts as the serpent en-
tered Eden He has terrible powers
OF ingratiation and persuasion. A
strange mesmeric influence is in his
words, and they are beguiled by
his brilliant and charming ways.

of New Orleans, joins the plot, and
is relied on to surrender the city at

President Jefferson once tied
with Burr in the election for presi-

Now less friendly than ever, Jeffer-

u. S. Paper Industries
Manufacture Products
TotaIing Billion Dollars

Paper, in some form, is so COM
mon in American homes that one
does not give much thought as to
how or from what it is made al
though the value of paper prod
ucts manufactured annually in the
United States amounts to about a
billion dollars. t4l.
AT one time spruce and balsam
were the principal woods from
which paper was made but the grad
ual decrease in the stands of these
woods caused the u. S. forest prod
ucts laboratory, Madison, Wis, sew
eral years ago to begin investigat-
ing other woods for paper making.
The forest products laboratory has
found that good pulps for various
kinds OF paper can be made from
many kinds Of wood, up to the pres
ent time having satisfactorily tried
out over 80 different species. Years
ago 1t found that good, strong, white
pulps could be made from the pines,
widely distributed throughout the
southern states. Up to that time
most OF the pulpwood had come
from the northern part of the Unit
ed States. A recent laboratory ex-
pertinent shows that a good pulp
for containers and building papers
can be made from blackjack oak, a
wood never hefore thought of in
connection with paper making.

Upper Air Observations
Will Improve Accuracy
OF Weather Forecast.

The word probably" will be seen
less frequently in daily weather
forecasts, as a result of increased
upper air observations, in the opin-
ion of F. w. Reichelderfer, chief of
the United States weather bureau.
He refers particularly to the use of
the radio-sonde.
This instrument, developed by the
national bureau of standards, trans
mits radio signals which indicate
air pressure, temperature, and hu-
midity every few hundred feet up
to 10000 or 10000 feet, so that the
ground observer knows these impor-
tant forecast items as fast as the
balloon ascends.
Already in the United States there
are six weather bureau, two army,
and two navy radio-sonde stations.
The radio-sonde, weighing less than
two pounds and carried by a bal
loon five or six feet in diameter
after imitation, rises at q rate OF
about 1900 feet a minute. At a
height of nearly Is miles, the bal
loon bursts and the instrument
comes to earth by parachute. A
large per cent of the instruments
are recovered.
IF we can understand the changes
that take place in the thousands oi
feet of atmosphere above us, most
of which take part in the 'manufac-
ture' of weather." says Mr.. Reichel.
