falls down three, how long will
it take to get out?"
One boy took a slate, and after

Army Cavalry Unit Formed in 1886 to Fight Indians

It was in 1886, when Andrew Jack
son was President of the United
States, that the Second regiment,
United States dragons, was formed,
to restore white mans peace at
the expense of the Seminole Indians
of Florida, capturing their women
and children and burning their vii
lagos. The Seminoles objected to
moving from Florida, where their
ancestors had lived for generations,
to Arkansas, then regarded by
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-01-18

American statesmen as so remote
and valueless part of the country
as to be ideal for Indians. It took
seven years for the United States
to kill and intimidate enough Sem
inoles to win and thus finally settle
the old argument.
Since its creation the Second
dragons, now the Second cavalry,
has fought Indians, Mexicans, Nor
mons, Confederate soldiers, Span
iards, Filipinos and Germans. says

in which he found a stone bearing
the earliest recorded date of the

A Princeton scientist traced
the honey highball back 5000
years and thereby gained knowI-
edge of great historic Indo-Eu-
ropean shifts in population. Mr..
Stirling also has found mans
early day elbow-bending a light
source. He discovered that the

premeditated and INDUCED in to

Stirling found bar, several
thousands of years old, lacking
only the brass rail and the free

In British Guiana, IN 1927, he

whose dogs were barkless. In Flor

X The Bat Again
X Jane Has Preference
4 To the Bitter End
BY Virginia Vale

THE Presidents son plans
L to give us a mystery pic
ture-made from one of the best
mystery plays ever written
-as the first release of his
Globe Productions. It's ''The
Bat" by Mary Roberts Rine-
hart and Avery Hopwood,
and has everything that a
thriller should have. 1t was filmed
by Mary Pickford's company in
1926, and done again, as 1.-THE Bat
Whispers" in 1881. Norman Foster
Will direct the new version.
Hard on the heels of her scrap
with Warner Brothers over her re-
fusal to appear in Married, Pretty
and Poor" Jane Bryan showed the
studio that she preferred to be mar

her engagement to Justin w. Dart,
who is general manager of a drug
firm.

Mickey Rooney may rank first at
the box offices of motion picture
theaters in this country, but in Great
Britain and Ireland he comes Sec

him out of first place. She was not

If you are devoted to the story,
'The Light That Failed" you'll like
the picture version, which sticks to
the original, even to the unhappy
ending. If it's Ronald Colman, rath-

you'll enjoy it hugely, for he gives
an excellent performance.
So do Walter Huston, Dudley
Digges, and Ida Lupino. Miss Luz
Pine has had a hard time of it in
Hollywood; she was put into ingenue
parts and kept there; now that, at
last, she had been given a chance
to show what she could do with a
real role, she had made the most
of it.
Hers is rather like the one in 'Of
Human Bondage" that established
Bette Davis as a dramatic actress.
Miss Lupino's performance is good
enough to do as much for her. No
longer can she be thought of as
just one of those pretty blondes who
are so numerous in the picture-mak-
ing metropolis.
If you're interested in the present
activities of former radio favorites,
here's news of some of them. Jim
my Melton is now known as James
Melton, and is a concert singer.
Morton Downey wound up his sum-
mer engagement at the Worlds fair
and followed it with an equally sue
cessful one in a Hollywood night
club. Singin' Sam is making money
by making recordings.
Jessica Dragonnette makes occa-
sional appearances on the air-and
when you see "Gulliver's Travels"
you'll hear her voice. Vera Van,
Leah Ray and Annette Henshaw
have retired.
Gene Autry, the singing screen
star who is Public Cowboy No. 1,
heads a new western series from
"The Double Nj Ranch" over the
Columbia network each Sunday. In
cidentally, did you know that Gene
was discovered by the beloved Will
Rogers? Rogers stopped at small
town in Oklahoma to forward his
syndicated column; Gene, the tele
graph operator, was singing a west
ern ballad. Rogers advised him to
capitalize on his talents-and a little
more than a year later Gene Autry
was a popular radio and recording
artist.
Del Courtney, who features Can
did Camera music over NBC, has
borrowed an idea from the movies
in his presentation of 'previews" of
his forthcoming programs. Before
concluding his broadcasts, he plays
a few bars of some of the new tunes
to be featured on the next program.
It's novel idea, and will probably
be widely copied by bandleaders who
don't hesitate to initiate their more
successful brethren.
