STATE

. \ II -----
 Today and tomorrow mark your last opportunity to see the exciting and thrilling spy drama "The Lady Vanishes" currently at the warner Bros. State theater.
 Alfred Hitchcock, noted director of thrilling dramas, was responsible for this picture and t is said that 1t is his greatest. It was awarded first prize by the New York tilm critics as the best directed motion picture of 1888, and is currently in its 9th sensational week in New York, giving sophisticated Broadway the biggest thrill of its life.
 Notable in the cast include Mich ael Redgrave in the leading male role; Margaret Lockwood in the leading feminine role; Paul Lukas, Dame May Whitty, Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents the furth- CT adventures in the thrilling Nancy Drew series, "Nancy Drew, Repor- ter" starring the favorite personality of Bonita Granville in the title role and John Litel at the head of the supporting cast.
 Starting Friday the State brings you the thrilling amazing saga of Uncle San1's Super Navy of the air "Wings of the Navy" with George Brent, Olivia de Havilland and Joan Payne, heading the giant cast.
 This picture is one of the timeliest for it comes to the screen just when aviation as a method of national defense has been given headlines and columns after columns in every newspaper in America. Naturally you've read of the millions of dol- lars which have recently been ap- propriated for the building of more planes and the instruction of many thousands of young men at our training schools. .1t
 It was produced with the unstinted cooperation of the U. s. Navy and offers theater- goers the unusual opportunity of viewing the answer to the question, Gan America Defend Herself in the Air?"
 As the story so aptly indicates, the picture 1t laid against @ background of naval aviation. It is a powerful tale that effectively transfers to the screen the spirit and traditions of the aerial division of the nations guardians of sea and coastline, with the result that there are breath taking shots of aerial formation and maneuvers, aside from the mass flying scenes, there are number of sensational shots of hair-raising stunts by individual pilots, and as part of the plot, three marrow chilling crash scenes.
 The thrills of "Test Pilot" "Men With Wings" and other epics of the air are said to be surpassed by this production.
 In addition to this great show the management will present Warren William and Ida Lupino in Tone Wolf Spy Hunt"

STATISTICS
sY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Statistics say thus and so, But when they deal in billions, We're most of us up in the air, The same as when they compute in mliions' Long long columns of figures That have to be added on machines Are as complicated to the average man As the succession of kings and queens. T1,irty.two billion set aside for this. HOW do they count that moneyP carload of greenbacks from the mint' Now isn't that honeyl According to statistics and such, Separating the cents from the dollars Is lust a matter of knowing your stuff Like all the statistical scholars. Statistics is an important word In deciding values that are par, In fact statistics is the thing That has us where we are.

 Battle Creek, Mich., Feb. 8 - Ofce-bound New Workers, vending their habitual way into Q subway next month, may be startled by the inaccustomed sight of an 80-foot- long car severed into three parts.
 They will be enjoying the first glimpse of the worlds finest and newest rapid transit car in action 8 streamlined, noiseless aluminium bodied vehicle equally suitable for underground or surface use.
 The car was designed in three segments to reduce the weight which must rest on each axle of the four underlying trucks.

blowing the generators which pro- pei the car, as @ means of stopping It. The second is magnetic brake in which @ magnetized "shoe' grips the track. Finally, there is a mech anical brake applying pressure to the wheels directly. The brakes op- crate in sequence by automatic con- trol as needed.
 To support the car body, a new type of rubber spring was specifi- cally developed for this purpose. It resembles rounded pyramid or a horizontally-ridged cone. When the body bounces, after bump, the first ridge goes down, then the next and so on. With each ridge, residence to shock increases. Thus the bounce is gradually taken up by the springs instead of the passengers body. Rubber insulation is scattered throughout the car for the same purpose.
 The wheels on which the new car will ride were also perfected especially for this job. They consist of 8 free-spring steel tire or rim. A hange of this rim descends toward the axle but does not touch 1t be- cause thick sandwiches" of rubber hold 1t firmly in place. Should a bump occur, the rubber rather than the wheel or axle would take the shock, thus producing 8 smoother ride.
 The new cars will have an axle loading weight approximately half of that of the conventional cars and an overall weight on the rails of one-third less. They will have nearly twice the power and will start and stop as fast as high powered automobile.
 PERFECTED AFTER
 LONG RESEARCH
 The car came into being as the result of five or six years of re. search. A body of street-car ex- executives, in an effort to speed up street-car schedules and to reduce the nuisance, commissioned @ group of research men, in 1880, to develop new type of truck, the underlying section on which Q trolley or subway car rests.
 For this research group, men were chosen who were not in the transportation industry because 1t was felt they would not be bound by traditional methods or designs.
 The plans drawn up by this group were then studied further by various manufacturing companies and whe neverything was ready the Clark Equipment Company of Bat tie Greek, began production on the first scientifically designed street. car truck. Tn two years 1t produced about 200 trucks which are now in use on street-car lines in Brooklyn and other cities.
 With the new truck proven suc- cessful in lowering operating and maintenance costs, and in provid- ing greater speed and safety, the Clark firm decided to develop a new kind of subway elevated car based on the new type of truck. The Aluminium Company of American co-operated in engineering . body of aluminium, and the B. F. Good rich Company developed new rub- Der products. Today, the first car is almost ready.
