 HUMAN CALENDAR

DALLAS, Tex, May 20. = The memorizing ability of six-year-old Sol Shearn Rovinsky of Dallas amazes his family's friends. He can tell what day of the week it will be on May 27 in 1945 six years hence. Or he can say, without hesi- tation, what day of the week it was that George Washington was born. | He is like a football quarter back calling signals when he be- gins to reel off Sundays, Tuesdays or Fridays and telling their dates. He can do that for every month up to 1945. He never names them in order but mixes them, as: the sixth of May will be Sunday; the seventh of July will be Monday. Christmas comes that year (what- ever one he happens to be talking about on Sunday.
 He knows the names of the presi- dents of the United States; the date each was born and died and took office; he can recite the Dec laration of Independence; the Con- stitution of the United States and Lincoln's Gettysburg address and many other things although he has studied them only casually
 The fact that he is human cal endar was discovered recently by accident. His father mentioned that he planned to buy an automobile on a date quite way in the future.
 You can't do that" said young Sol. That is Sunday"
 The calendar showed he was cor rect.
 How did you do that asked his father.
 T don't know" said the boy. q just knew it."
 Psychologists who have studied him say they have no explanation for his amazing memory.

CHARLES BOYER IN "ALGIER5"
 HERE SUNDAY
Feature Opening at Capitol Theatre Stars Hedy La-
 mdrr, Sigrid Gurie

Starting Sunday at the Capitol Theatre is "Algiers," Walter Wan ger production starring Charles Boyer, Sigrid Gurie and glamorous Hedy Lamar.
 As the story opens, Boyer and his gang, fugitives from Paris, have liv- ed in the Casbah for two years, never venturing outside its boundar- ies for fear of arrest In the district they are safe from the police in the adjoining French city, who dare not molest them owing to the ferocity of the natives; though the local in- spector, Joseph Calleia, continually watches the genial crook. The only hope of the officials is that some time they may lure the jewel thief outside the Casbah and thus bring about his capture.
 i Boyer, however, is content to re- main in the squalid quarter with his wildly jealous native sweetheart, Sigrid Gurie, and laugh at the futile scheming of the police.
 ] But one day the Casbah is visited by group of Partisan tourists, in cluding the glamorous Hedy Lamar. She happens to meet Boyer and a romance develops. The police in spector views the situation with satisfaction, hoping th a circum- stances will eventually lure the fugi : tive outside the district. In further ance of his scheme, he tells Miss Lamar that Boyer has been killed, and she and her party prepare to sail for France.
 Learning that his new love is leav- ing the country, Boyer risks arrest to board the ship on which she is about to depart, and the picture reaches a thrilling climax in a series of dramatic scenes on the dock
 Ending tonight at the Capitol Theatre is the return engagement of Fannie Hursts limitation of Life, ,' starring Claudette Colbert and War ren William.

DAYLIGHT TIME FOR CITY WILL
 BE pETITI0NED
Former City Engineer to Ask Council for Earlier
 fo-Work Plan

Daylight saving time will be peti- tioned for before the Monday session of the City Council, according to Frank Metcalf, former City En- gineer.
 Metcalf said a petition is being circulated urging the change that would put Juneau on Seattle time.
 Were losing the use of too much daylight" Metcalf said. We have five hours of daylight before most people go to work in the morning and we have only about three hours of daylight after finishing up in the evening. We might as well even it upD
 Baseball and "all sports from ten his to bridge at the beach" will bene- fit, Metcalf claims.
 Several years ago Juneau went on daylight saving time, but gave it up after one summer of trial.
 The Council is meeing Monday night to make up the meeting post poned last night because of the Rotary convention.

OF TEXAS
 SHOWN IN EPIC AT {
 COLISEUM SUNDAY

Seldom has history been so eX- citingly told and characters out of the distant past so vividly brought to life as in Paramount's epic of the Souths struggle for freedom during the dark days after the War Between the States, "The Texans { which will have it's first local show ing tonight at the Coliseum Thea trel It recaptures the spirit of one of the most thrilling periods of this country's history and is a powerful story of the men who rebuilt Am erica after the national destruction of the brothers war
 Lovely Joan Bennett as a fire- eating belle of the Old South who fights a one-woman war against Northern oppression, and Randolf Scott, as a gallant Southern soldier who counsels a clasping of hands across the bloody chasm after the War, play the romantic leads in the story of the ten-year battle be- tween corrupt carpet-baggers and proud natives for the control of the destinies of the South.
 The struggle of the Texans for freedom and new life is mirrored in the thousand-mile trek across three states which Scott and Miss Bennett undertake in order to find a market for their cattle and save the herd from confiscation by the officials who rule the State. Some of the most startling mass action scenes ever filmed appear in the cattle stampedes, the prairie fires, the Indian attacks and chase by Northern cavalry.
 The double feature, Bulldog Drummond's Revenge" and Where the Buffalo Roam" ends tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.

DENVER, May 20.-People out West like their automobiles colored.
 A study by Rocky Mountain Mot orists, automobile club, disclosed that in the southwest only 16 per cent of all cars purchased are of con- ventional black The gaudier colors are preferred.
 California folks like light hues for their cars, while in Washington and Oregon the drivers prefer dark ones. Blue is the favorite color in the prairie states.
