Noise-makers will be provided
aboard the trucks, and their use
encouraged. The evening will wind
up with an entertainment and con-
tests for prizes. Food prepared by
the Boy Scouts will be furnished.
All juveniles are invited to a free
night of fun, unmarried by destruc-
tiveness. County police are BEAM
ing at the prospect.
The program is sponsored by the

Eastman Firm Accused
Of Fixing Film Prices
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Trade Commission
announced today issuance of a COM
plant charging Eastman Kodak
Co., Rochester, N. Y, with "fix-
ing and controlling" the prices al
which retail dealers sell certain
kinds of film used by amateur mo-
tion-picture photographers.
The commission said the COM
pany had had in effect since Feb
ruary, 1888, a system which al
legedly suppressed competition in
the sale of two kinds of finn and
deprived purchasers of advantages
in price they would otherwise OBJ
tain under conditions of free COM
petition"
Fixed prices were maintained, the
F. T. c. said, by agreements with
dealers IN the A States which have
fair trade acts, and by refusing to
sell products to dealers who failed
to maintain such prices.

BY JOHN THOMSON.

The chief of naval operations,
Admiral Harold r. Stark, was re-
viewing the 1st Marine Brigade OF
the Fleet Marine Force at Quantico
the other day. the major general
commandant of marines with him.
They paraded for the admiral the
marine quintuplets-and if you are
thinking of five pretty girls in one
family, you are not entirely wrong.
The story goes back to August 5,
1887, which is also the birthday Of
the marine commandant, Gen.
Thomas Holcomb. In that year the
situation of the United States COM
bat services, with regard to tanks,
was not ample. We had, you might
say, a tank The Army rejoiced in
some World War I relics, seques-
tered somewhere or other and GER
tain training types. and the Marine
Corps was very little better of.
But the marines had. at least,
procurement program and sufficient
armored vehicles on hand to keep
in training group of officers and
marines against the day they might
be needed. They hoped for a few
new tanks each year, by way Of
holding themselves up to date, but
now and then they missed a year.
They had the promise, and the ap-
preparation. for an order of five in
1887. And on the commandant's
birthday the word came down.
there would be no new tanks that
year for the Marine Corps. Some
mysteries of legislation and fiscal
affairs were involved. not here per-
tinent. 1t was a bad start on his
birthday and the commandant was
not pleased
Admiral Stark was then chief OF
the Bureau of Ordnance in the Navy
Department. 1t is ordnance which
purveys arms to the naval service.
Gen. Holcomb went to see him. The
admiral, after considering the mat
ter, agreed that paper tanks. or
promised tanks, or antique pieces
in the tank line. were of no value
to the Fleet Marine Force-because
the Fleet Marine Force will be
needed badly and at once. when it
is needed-and the admiral said. In
effect, Let there be tanks" The
contracts were put out, and in due
course, that is to say, last year. five

Marine QuintupIets Parade;
Admiral Can't Believe His Eyes
For There After Emile, Annette, Marie,
CeciIe, Yvonne' Is Another Name

fine new machines, of the light type
required by the marines for their
web-footed operations, were duty
delivered. Gen. Holcomb says it is
the best birthday present he ever
had in his life
Meantime, Admiral Stark left ord
nance and went to command Cruiser
Division 3 in the Pacific, and pres
emily he had the cruisers of the
Battle Force, and in 1889 he re-
turned to hoist his flag in Washing
ton as chief of naval operations.
And went, on recent opportunity,
to see his marines, who are re-
ported to be at the point of taking
long sea voyage.
Marines have progressed beyond
the popgun and push-cart days of
the banana wars-they now go
armed with all sorts of weapons.
The Chief of Naval Operations in
spected the rigid lines of rifiemen,
the regimental color heavy with
its old battle honors, the machine
gunners and the artillery; and he
came to the first tank platoon: five
units, immaculate as to paint. i'm
pressive as to armament, and, in
the eyes Of their young ofncer and
his crews at least, perfectly BEAU
tiful.
The Chief of Naval Operations
checked armor and he checked guns
and he looked at the running gear
and the rings and hooks where the
sings 60 on and he read the name
of tank number one: Emile Stark,
in fair white letters on her bows.
Tank number two was Annette
Stark" number three was Ma
rie. The admiral's eye went on, to
verify Cecille Stark and Yvonne
Stark-and he said it was a good
line and nice idea, and-by the
way-(for the admiral has a long
memory, and needs it, Are these
those tanks?"
They are they told him-'those
tanks. Had 'em about year"
Their first names may be a
year old. But-how wet is the
paint on the last name?"
Why, Admiral" they said re-
proachfully-and an aide risked a
thumb. how can you say such
things? The paints really quite
dry"
