FEATURED AT THE BIJOU

Republics dashing Three Mes
quiteers' return today to the Bijou
theatre screen in a new and super
thrilling drama of life in the open
spaces. Bob Livingston, Raymond
Hatton and Duncan Renaldo, whose
exploits need no introduction to
local fans, were never finer than in
their current roles of "uncles" to an
orphan girl, the child of their buddy
who was killed in a rodeo mishap.
The Three Mesquiteers provide
excellent contrast for one another.
Bob Livingston, as stony" is the
dashing, romantic member of the
trio. Yet he is always there when
the moment arrives for daring &C

Raymond Hatton, long a favorite

MYSTERY FILM OFFERED

An unusual and absorbing idea in
mystery films comes to the Royal
theatre today with Goth Century.
Fox's drama, The Man w l, @
Wouldn't Talk" From the outset
of the film, when a murder is com
mitted, the audience and the police
know at once who committed the
crime; the mystery is the identity
of the killer and his motive. Con.
Tossing to the Staying, the murderer,
who calls himself Joe Monday, re,
fuses to speak another word even in
his own defense. The result is a
highly exciting story we'll played by
Lloyd Nolan, in the title role, Jean
Rogers, Richard Clarke, Onslow
Stevens and Eric Biore. David Bur.

LITTLE OLD NEW YORK"
FEATURED AT CAROLINA

Daryl F. Zanuck and Director
Henry King, the combination that
gave r fans such films as "In
Old Chicago" STANLEY and Living
stone,' "Alexander's Ragtime Band"
and Jesse James," have turned out
another smash hit in Zanuck's pro-
duction of Little Old New York"
This robust, rollicking, romantic
drama opened yesterday at the
Carolina theatre, with Alice Faye,
Fred n acMurray, Richard Greene
and Brenda Joyce heading a bril-.
liant cast which includes Andy De-
vine, Henry Stephenson and Fritz
Field.
Although Little Old New York;
deals basically with the drama of
the first steamboat, the "Clermont,'
the historical aspects are over
Swallowed by the absorbing double
romance, with Fred MacMurray
making his bid for love as the
rough-hearted, shipbuilder adlnirer
of Miss Faye.
Both girls try to help Fulton in
his struggle against those who
would prevent the success of his in
vention as we'll as an inconsiderate
fate determined to place as many
obstacles as possible in the way OF
the coming of steam to the sea.
From a production standpoint
Little Old New York" is almost
without parallel. The sets are gi,
gantic. The producers have actual,
ly rebuilt the whole lower part ii
New York as it was in 1907. Every
element of good film fare is present,
from fist fights and weddings, ships
afire, robust romance, to dancing
and song.

Kenneth Crawford Says
Gould Does Not Threaten
Freedom Of u. S. Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81 ~
Kenneth Crawford, president of the
American Newspaper Guild, denied
today that freedom of the press
was in any way threatened by the
Guild shop contracts which his or
%ganization seeks to negotiate with
newspapers.
Crawford told the house labor
committee:
Many publishers have fought us
with something like fury on the
closed shop issue - and some of
them have frankly confessed that
they did so because they feared
that closed shops would make us TOO
strong.
Most Of them, however, profess
to see a threat against freedom of
the press . Actually. there is no
such threat in the Guild shop. We
have had enough experience to
know that. The editors and pub
fishers of newspapers are in every
case the Judges of what shall be
printed"

Large Pension Fund Completed
BY PRESBYTERIAN Church OF y. S.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 22-R--
The Presbyterian church in the
United States (Southern) today an.
nounced completion of a $4,000, 900
fund to underwrite pensions for all
of it's ministers and missionaries.
DR.. Henry H. Sweets, secretary
of the board of pensions, said the
fund effective April 1, 1910, would
benefit $500 ministers and 400 for.
eign missionaries.
efforts have been made sins
1917 to provide for the ministers and
missionaries who have been called
away from the sources Of material
gain and all plans have proved in
adequate and for the first time in
its history this branch of the church
will begin to fully meet it's obliga-
tons to it's servants when on
account OF age or disability they are
forced to retire both from labor and
from income DR.. Sweets said.
At the start minimum pensions Of
$50 a month will be paid. Ministers
will contribute two and one half per
cent of their annual salaries with
their respective churches contribut-
ing seven and one half per cent.
Missionaries will contribute TIE
same as ministers with the boards
of home and foreign missions con
tributing the seven and one half
per cent.
Church workers who have reached
the age of IS will be eligible for re-
tirement. The compensation of those
forced t. retire before that time be.
cause of disability will be based on
the number of years of service to
the church. Retirement at IS, how
ever, is not compulsory.
DR.. Sweets said it was planned
eventually to absorb the work of the
board of ministerial relief into the
fund. This board is now aiding
widows and minor children of mi..-
listers and missionaries. Under the
new plan widows would receive a
minimum of $500 annually with 500
a year for each minor child.
Churches, ministers and mission.
aries now r voting on the plan and

ing of 2. general committee on nutrl'
tion. called by State Health officer
Carl v. Reynolds.
I'm North Carolina" DR.. Reynolds
told the committee, mot only pow
ertv, but ignorance, has led to much
in health from food deficiencies and
resulting deficiency diseases. 1t is
the qualitative, rather than the
ouantitative, element of food that
has been overlooked.
1.-THE high incidence Of pellagra
about 1880 led to a vigorous educa-
tional campaign on the part of the
state board of health to promote the
Use of pellagra-preventing foods. A
declining pellagra rate has eased the
situation, but pellagra is still so pre-
yalent as to be a reproach to the
state"
The purpose of the study, DR..
REYNOLDS said, is to measure the
present nutritionaI status Of select
ed areas and groups of population.
: Duke university will cooperate
with the survey, he added, and first
studies, including blood tests of
patients, will be conducted in an
area within 80 miles Of Durham.
A "practieal program" for improv-
ing the nutritional status Of North
Carolinians will be formulated on
the basis of findings of the survey,
he said.

CHAPTER XII

"E1it 'em harder, fellows" Buck Mentor called. Keep your eyes up. Okay, that's good. Cool of slowly"
 The squad dog-trotted off the practice field. Buck Mentor re- faxed on the bench, cane in each hand. He drowned, spoke to Bill at his side:
 "Going to be tough" he said. ''It's hard to believe that some of these boys have played a whole season and still don't know how to time play"
 "only five days till the big game with East" Bill said anxiously. "Think you can do 1t, Buck?"
 Losing your nerve?" he grinned.
 Heck, mol" Bill retorted. Look what you've done already, Buck. The fellows are snapping into the plays like they never did before"
 T can't cram them full of new plays now" Buck said. It'd only confuse them"
 "A lot depends on one game" Bill unused.
 Buck nodded. "Skelton made 1t pretty plain that I'd get a contract for next year only if we beat East. He's little self-important, Bill, but he's a fair man. If we win, he's willing to advance me enough on next years salary to go east

 one by one they filed past him, and for each Buck Mentor hao a word of encouragement. He dropped into his chair and Bill wheeled him up the runway onto the field.
 "They're good boys, Bill" he said proudly. They'll give East one whale of battle all the way!"
 The first quarter verified Bucks prediction. The West boys smashed in on every play. They bottled up Laurie, the star of East's running attack. He made a few short gains and one of IS yards, but he didn't break loose for any sensational runs.
 East, however, was equally efi- cient on the defensive. Time after time Hart, Calvert, and Peskin carried the ball and were hurled back. The quarter ended with no SCOT. AL the nalI CIle GWO ISdAllS were still battling each other to standstill.
 Buck sent his boys outf or the third quarter with few words of quiet praise. It was on the sec- ond play that Laurie broke loose. On a fake reverse he cleared Vests flrst-line defense, snaked away from a charging tackle and by sheer speed outran the de- fenSive full-back. He got to the 1O-yard line before Vests safety man caught him.
 we want a touchdownl We want a touchdown!"
 Hold that line! Hold that line!"
 Bill Mentor chewed his lip. Buck hunched forward on the bench. Two power plays netted six yards, then no gain, and last down with goal to go. Eleven hard young bodies smashed at the West line, piled up in a heap.
 The referees arms raised. Bed- lam broke loose and the score was 6 to 0 against West.
