The King Is deadl Long live the
Kingl After q reign Of twelve weeks,
The Plugs have now abdicated the
throne, and the Killys and AM
peres are now battling 1t out for
the role Of ruler Of the league.
While the Killys were taking three
points from the Sparks and the
Amperes three points from the Jets,
the former champs were finding 1t
tough going and dropped four
points TO the Fuses.
Substitutes are becoming very TN
popular with the Plugs. In the last
three weeks they have lost ten
points, and each week a substitute
has been a big factor in their de-
feat. THIS week Frank Rolandi was
the villain. Just as the Plugs were
sure that they had the first game
in the bag, Frank grabbed it away
from them with marks in the ninth
and tenth boxes. In the second
game he also came through with
strike at the crucial moment. while
the leading bowler Of the league,
Mr.. Gordon Whitaker himself,
came out of his trance and chalked
up 1877, enabling his team to win
By three pins. Gordy also had high
three Of $50. As far as the Plugs
are concerned, the last game was
something which they would just
Is soon forget.
The Amperes showed the Jets
some fancy bowling. much TO the
Jets displeasure. Dick Hyland led
the way for his teammates with Sal,
while Bill Casey had a total Of 1872,
and Doris Leary rolled Sol, For the
opposition, the stars were Gordon
Bartlett with 3l4 and Helen Rob-
erts with 3i3.
The Bulbs have suddenly come to
life, having won ten points during
the last three weeks. Last night the
victim was Harry Owens team Of
Poles. Gwen Burton helped her
team along with l25 in the last
game. and a total of 800 for the
evening. Jack Murphy did not start
off very well, but he staged a come

very pleasing i3o and finished up
with q total Of 328.
Freddie Valerio's 344, Jim Bren-
mans 337, John Platt's 3l2 and

OF mention.

per cent over the value of the 1889
output, declared Herbert e. Smith,

Operating a, capacity, the in

ably until the latter half of the
year.
"Other goods, such as footwear
golf balls, lastex, and drug sundries,
will also be scarce in the early part
of the year.
"Total consumption of rubber In
the United States in 1916 is esti-
mated at 100000 tons, compared
with 100000 tons in 1941. Approx
mately 100000 tons will be of vari-

One of the most outspoken was
Paul w. Litchfield, chairman of the
board of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Co. After speaking Of the

Accurate forecasting of business

paradox is that while almost every

meet them.

volume will go into automobile tires

New products developed as the
result of wartime research In use
of synthetic rubber may not be

Forecasts Building Gains.
H. A. Dick, president of the Asso-
ciated General Contractors of Amer
lea, forecast q steadily increasing
volume of construction in 1916 which
may reach a rate of $4,000, 600, 00o
annually by next August.
Arguing that the Nation should
push ahead to the fullest extent OF
its resources, Mr.. Dick said this
would require something like $780,
100000, 900 annually in construction.
He added:
This would provide business op.
portunities and jobs for about A..
600 900 men at the site Of construc-
ton and create Job opportunities Of

Julia Ross Lives
An Exciting Mystery
CONTINUED From Page B-IO.)

homes Of England which make fine
backgrounds for dark melodrama.
There this Mrs. Hughes and her
son, who likes to play with knives,
give Miss Ross quite a treatment.
With the intent OF driving her to
suicide, SO they will have body
to bury honestly, the two call Julia
Marian Hughes" by day and drug
her by night. They work her into
such state that even the vicar,
who comes to call, refuses to believe
her name is Julia Ross and mutters
what trial the poor unfortunate
must be to her loving husband and
mother-in-law.
AH.A
This private reign of terror, as
recounted on the screen by Direc-
tor Joseph Lewis and Scriptwriter
Muriel Ray Bolton, is suspenseful
piece of business. It is one Of those
taut affairs that do not let you relax
in the seat once they get their hold
on you. This one gets its hold early
and keeps 1t, with both brisk pace
and q mood of inevitability that
would have you even more worried
over Miss Ross If she were not a
cinema heroine and therefore more
durable than a more normal girl.
The film is played with con-
siderable skill in several quarters.
Dame May Witty, as the mother,
has quite a time with her dark mood,
more murderous than those she
usually embraces. George Macready,
as the son, is as sinister chap as
ever tried to make an innocent
young secretary take leave Of her
wits. And Miss Foch wears her
mantle OF terror with the flair Of a
girl who has always wanted one of
those, knowing it would look well
on her.
