Tammany Begins Campaign to “Sell* Gov. Smith to Democrat Delegates. “Six Cylinder Love,\ William Anthony McGuire’s comedy that lmd n phenomenal 54 straight weeks run in New York, has been selected to open Chautiiwiun. While it is one big laugh from start to finish, its theme is one that strik^is a home run for nine families out of ten. The villain in' “ Six Cylnder Love\ does a lot of dirty work and breaks up two families. He attracts “sunshine' friends,’’ 'patronizes road houses, teaches extravagance, and lias an insatiable appetite for gas oline. Yes—an automobile—you’ve guessed it. An automobile that a young couple could not afford—and which led them as well as /the second 'couple who bought it into all sorts of difficult and humorous situations. “Six Cylinder Love” lets the full light of sane reason fall upon thé orgy of extravagance in which American families are Indulging in this age of motordom. While it carries a lesson—It Is so excruciatingly funny and has such clever lines and situations, that it Is just one long laugh from beginning to final curtain. It Is well staged and has a splendid cast of well-known stage favorites coached by Elias Day, famous Chicago coach.

On the glass pan els of the ceiling of the house of ren- resentutives there are painted the seals of the different states, but for some reason that of Montana, was never placed there. In the course of the debate Mr. Leavitt said: “I have noticed that on the ceiling of this chamber of the house of rep. resentatives the seal of my slate of Montana is not represented with <he rest, although we have been a state for 35 years. Nobody seems ever to have called attention to it before. I have taken steps so that this fall, when we meet again, it shall appear there among the seals of the other states.” Mr. Leavitt used this as an illus tration of his purpose in arguing for fair methods in handling reclamation problems, in order that Montana and other western states might have their proper place of development among all the other states of the union* The measure passed the house but, on ac count of a filibuster led by Senator Pittman of Nevada because ,a new project of Bis own had been eliminat ed in conference, it did not come to a vote in,-.th§ senate..before' adjourn ment.

At hundreds of isolated look out pomes where men are on duty throughout ail the daylight hours ol the summer watching for the slight est evidence of a forest fire, the ob servers of the forest service ’ will watch aud report on the movement of Sangerou3 storms, their character, the intensity of the lightning and the amount of rain. Such information, when compared with statistics of fires lighted and damage done, will give a basis for conclusions regarding the type of storm doing the most damage, which} in turn will assist in perfecting aj system of forecasting the course of} lightning storms and thus make thei forest service better prepared- to! handle forest fires originating from! this troublesome.-cause. . , ■„ . state. itself. F$r..,this purpose an np- propriittipn of ffiSO.OOO is authorized. An appropriation' of $100,00 is au thorized to enable the secretary to cooperate with the various' states to advise and assist the owners of farms or lands suitable chiefly for timber •production in establishing, imploring and renewing wood lots, shelter belts windbreaks and. other valuable forest growth.’ Tfcte amount'“ Expended any one year must not exceed the amount xpended by the state of coop erating agency itself. The secretary of agriculture Is nu- thorizefl''in his discretion to accent on the behalf of the United States titles to any land chiefly valuable for the growing of timber crops which the owner may desire to donate to ilic government. Any land to which tiile fa accepted must be in units of such size anil so located as to be capable of being ad mini stored economically as national forests cither separately or jointly with an existing national for est. A comedy packed with dramatic situations is Douglas Fairbank’s, Jr.’s first stellar production for Para mount, \Stephen Steps Out,” which will be the feature at the Rayal next Sunday. Joseph Henebery directed the picture, which is an adaptation o f “The Grand Cross of the Crescent” a Story by\ Richard\'Eratding Davis. Theodore Roberts is featured in the principal supporting role, and Noah Berry, Harry Myers and Frank Cur-*. Her are cast -in important parts. “Stephen Steps Out” is a story for boys and enjoyable entertainment for* old and young- alike. In addition to fills the secretary is also authorized to ascertain the lo cation of public lands chiefly valuable for stream flow protection of for for est production which can econom ically be administered as parts of na tional forests. His findings are to be reported to the notional forest refor estation commission, and if this com mission finds that the administration of such lands by the federal govern ment will protect the flow of streams j used for navigation or for irrigation I or promote a future timber aupplv, the president is authorized in his dis cretion to add said lands to existing national forests. The president is also authorized to establish as national forests, or parts thereof, any lands within the boumL- aries of government reservations which in the opinion oT the secretary of i.lie department now administering the area and the secretary of agri culture are suitable for the production of timber. This does not apply to national parks, mountains and Indian reservations. Most of the , land to wTffch tins section will apply are in. military reservations. Such forest lands wil be administered by the sec retary or agriculture under such rules and“ regulations and in accordance with such general plans as may ho approved\by the secretary of agricult-* ure and the secretary formerly admin istering the area. While the bill authorizes appropri ations of $2,700,00 to be made, no actual appropriations were made by congress for the coming fiscal year, so that much of the act cannot be made effective until funds are subse quently ifiade available. “ HARBOR LIGHTS” ALL.'
