! FEATURES ARE
 AT 10TH CENTURY;
 ENDING TONIGHT

Jimmy Wakely's latest Monogram western. ''The Lonesome Trail" op- ened yesterday at the 20th Century Theatre, and proved to be one of the most enjoyable and exciting of the series. Fists fly, and songs tighten the action in this outdoor irama that should satisfy everyone in the family.
 For action, Wakely and his sad dle companions, Lee "Lasses" White and John James, track down a group of slick crooks. First the pals throw them out of one town, only to have these hombres wind up in a private ghost-mining town owned by the boys. The outlaws obtain fifty-one percent interest in she town when "Lasses" sells them he major share, not knowing their reputation. When the crooks en- ieavor to rob the townfolk of their savings and prevent an honest elec- ton, Wakely, "Lasses" and James go into furious action, and rip roaring finish packs thrill after thrill.
 The other feature of this 2-bill ending tonight is MT. Reckless" a highly comcustible mixture of vio- lent action and high-tension TO- nance. It combines the breathtak- ing thrills of bringing in a gusher with the suspense of a perilous romance. When all this electic en- ergy is tightly compressed, the film explodes in an ultra exciting cli- max featuring fight to the death atop an oil well.

Under his very nose Ross McEwen rides intC town and, entering the bank, de- mands and gets $2,000 in currency leaving his LOU and an enrageo banker behind.

Bellamy was not person who would ever fold
his hands in his lap. He was engaged. now, in
turning out the capacious pockets of his tweed
jacket, always full OF little treasures which he
picked up in his wanderings about town.

Life on Other Planets

Scientists are becoming more and more
convinced that there is life on other plan
cts. A booklet recently published by the
University Of Chicago, containing ver-
batim report of a round-table discussion
of the subject, quotes the well-known
nuclear chemist, Professd Harold c. Urey,
as saying: "Of three planets in our solar
system-Venus, the Earth and Mars-one
(the Earth) is certainly inhabited by living
things, snd a second one Mars prob
ably is"
Back of this affirmation lies the inven-
ton of a new infrared receiving device
by Professor Robert Joseph eastman Of
Northwestern University. With his gadget
1t is feasible to examine certain radiationS
of the stars which previously defled such
testing The result is that the ice caps on
Mars, which had been assumed to be COM
posed of frozen carbon dioxide or dry ice, "
now are thought to be frozen water, like
our own ice caps" If the theory thus out
lined be correct, then the greenish areas
on Mars may be explained as caused by
"some compound like chlorophyn which
gives the color to the plants on earth"

tory, that I'VE have q certain amount Of

synthesis-the mysterious assimilation Of
chemical compounds by living organisms
aided by radiant energy, especially light
can take place. The principle involved is
the same, in effect, as that which makes
life possible on our own fragment of
infinity.
What may be deduced from these de-
velopments is expressed by Professor Urey
in the reasonable expectation that, ''of the
very large number of similar solar systems
which we now believe exist throughout the
stellar universe, life will also have appeared
on these many planets. 1t means that at
least simple forms of life may exist
throughout the universe, and it may be
that there are very intelligent forms OF
life existing-peoplew who are as intelligent
as men and perhaps even more intelligent
than man."
How to communicate with the peoples Of
outer space, of course, is another problem.
