UNITED OFFERS REAL SHIEK FILM When it comes to getting the man he wants, the Spanish-American hero of 'The Woman Who Fooled Herself,' ridden at the United Theatre yesterday, has a method so startling and daring that he makes a certain sheik fade into insignificance. This hero walked boldly onto the stage of the cabaret where the girl he wanted was doing the Dance of the Golden Helmet. Before everyone he snatched her by the wrist. When a friend tried to interfere with a revolver, the thing he held in his hand was disclosed as araw hide lash with which the snapped the gun from the other's hand. Then he slung the girl over his shoulder and, flashing his whip, he beat his way through the crowd and carried her off. You can't blame the young man entirely for his high-handed action; for the girl had deliberately flirted with him and then, when he had fallen madly in love with her, she laughed at him—said 'twas a game and now 'twas ended! Which was partly true. It started out as a trick, but she was the biggest loser, for she had really fallen in love with her victim and thought the only way to save him from the plot against him was to deny his love. However, as should be the way with every photoplay that seeks to entertain, all the obstacles are finally overcome so that the hero and heroine can live happily ever after. The heroine in this case is beautiful May Allison and the love Robert Ellis, in real life, her husband. It will be shown again tonight and tomorrow night.

Mr. and Mrs. Robe Jones had as dinner guests TOKIO’S CUPID AGAIN ON JOB TOKIO, Dec. 3.—Cupid and his cohorts are among the busiest people in bustling Tokio these days. The earthquake and fire of Sept. 1—at the back of practically every development in the capital—are of course the cause of this new activity of the young man with the arrow. But the result is that the marriage priests are busy, and the marriage shrine, at Hibiya park, Tokio, was one of the first buildings to be replaced by a temporary structure. After the remnants of families began to assemble some days after the great fire, it was found that many husbands had lost their wives, that many wives had lost their husbands, and that, in many cases, ten or twelve children in a single family were left without a mother. The Japanese is a great believer in the Roosevelt idea of families; eight or nine children in one family is only a normal matter. And while many children, as well as grownups, were lost in the disaster, still many more were left without at least one of their parents. VESTAL LIGHT AS SYMBOL TO DEAD PARIS, Dec. 3.—A symbol of flame has been proposed for the unknown soldier’s grave under the great Are de Triomphe at the Etoile. It has been suggested that a flame be kept burning night and day, a vestal light as a symbol of sacrifice and eloquent tribute to the dead—a flame that never dies. The grave of the French unknown soldier has made the famous Are more than one of the most beautiful monuments in the French capital. It has now become a place of pilgrimage to which representatives of every visiting nation turn to pay silent tribute. The spot has almost become sacred ground. Shop Early 40 MINERS KILLED SHEFFIELD, Eng., Dec. 3.—Forty men are known to be dead and many others injured as the result of a coal mine disaster near here today. A pit cage carrying 136 men crashed to the bottom of the mine shaft. Relief work was undertaken at once. Volunteers were lowered to give aid and to assist in raising bodies of dead and wounded to the surface.

Gurney Hill, grand old man of American rose growing, with the presentation of his new creation, “America.” For 50 years Hill has been growing roses and other flowers at his greenhouse here and has captured many prizes for roses. Five years ago his rose “Columbia,” won the prize for the best room brought out during the preceding five years. His “premier” captured one of the annual prizes soon after. This year, in three exhibitions, his “America” carried off the gold medals given by rose growers’ societies. The gold medal for the best rose developed since 1919, awarded by the American Rose Growers’ organization, also went to Hill on this rose. The “America” is peach pink in color, with just a tint of cream color. It is large and has a stem large enough to carry it well and not let it droop, as many roses do. It may be compared in size to the American Beauty, although an entirely different type of flower. It has not been out long enough to test its hardiness, but if it stands all other tests it is very likely that it will be put on the market for growing in gardens. RIFLE IMBEDDED IN TREE TRUNK NEW MILFORD, Conn., Dec. 3.—Charles Walker, living in Park lane district here, cut down a tree recently and found a small caliber rifle firmly imbedded in the trunk and a branch. Then a neighbor recalled how years ago he placed the rifle in a tree crevice and forgot all about it. Trunk, branch and rifle formed a union that only a hot fire could end, but Walker prefers the souvenir to a fire. MARE NEEDS SHOES, HAS 'EM PUT ON SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.—“The old gray mareaint what she used to be” at least Salvatore Carshini’s gray mare isn’t. Carshini had neglected having his horse shod. So, bliding her time, the old gray mareainted from her stall to a nearby horseshoeing establishment and there mingled with the cash customers and had a neat new pair of shoes fitted in latest style.

SILKY SHAWLS PARIS, Dec. 3.—Handsome lace shawls are going to replace the Spanish, Japanese and Venetian ones that were so much worn during the past season. It is a pleasant thing to envelop yourself in one of these soft silky wrappings. Filmy and cobwebery as they appear to be, they offer a great deal of warmth and comfort, rendering a veritable service when worn with the low-cut evening gown of the present moment. These lace shawls come in lovely shadow patterns, geometrical and flower designs with long silken fringe. Folded to a point in the back or along the square edge, like a scarf, it leeds itself to most graceful movements. Since this is a year for bright colors, gay ones are predominant, but black ones are almost as handsome, and nothing is much more striking than a beautiful white one over a black velvet evening frock. MARE NEEDS SHOES, HAS 'EM PUT ON SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.—"The old gray mareaint what she used to be"—at least Salvatore Carsini's gray mare isn't. Carsini had neglected having his horse shed. So biding her time, the old gray mare sauntered from her stall to a nearby horseshoeing establishment and there mingled with the cash customers and had a neat new pair of shoes fitted in latest style. Then the old gray mare sauntered out, leaving behind a bill which the horseshoeing establishment is wondering if it can collect. PET GIRAFFES SCARE POPULACE JOHANNESBURG, Dec. 3.—Two pet giraffes belonging to the chief's son caused a sensation when they ran amuck in the township of Serowe, in Bechuana land. Before they could be secured by their native keeper they put flight a European tennis party, chased the native women water carriers, charged a person who attempted to hurry rocks at them, and pawed and rolled on the ground an old woman who was not so fast as the younger members of the community.

Clothes German firms are now tempting to demonstrate equal to those of Saville rowers less than half the price. A German, whose dress was absolutely faultless in fit and material, has recently been staying at one of the cliff London hotels. An Englishman said to him: "You have lost time in finding a good London tailor." "You are mistaken," said German, "this suit was turned out by our people in Berlin." The immaculate visitor was traveler for one of the German firms which is commencing business in London with the idea making suits for English customers of superior cut and clean and even more, cut to measure at less than half the price charged by the chief London tailor. You can't judge the culture an age by the prehistoric skull found. Only the hardheads would last so long. So far, fortunately, it has occurred to a hard-boiled civilization to change the name itself "Giftmas." THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF.

LARGEST CROP OF LEMONS IN SIGHT During the 1928 citrus season California will pick and ship the largest lemon crop known in the history of the industry, according to an estimate just completed by T. H. Powell, Lemon Sales Agent of the California Fruit Growers' Exchanges, says an Exchange statement just issued. Based upon estimates of Exchange shipments taken as of November first this state will ship a total of 13,541 carloads of lemons or 5,432,400 boxes, figured upon a basis of 400 boxes to the car. The estimated movement of lemons this season from California will exceed the actual shipments of this state's heaviest crop which was shipped in 1920-21, by 1,761 carloads, according to present prespects. Actual shipments in thatumper year totaled 11,820 cars. Compared with last season's crop, which figured on a basis of 400 boxes to the car totaled 7,954 carloads, the movement for the season just opening will exceed the year just closed, October 31, 1923, by 5,627 carloads. In comparison with the 1921-22 crop when 9,648 cars were shipped, this season's crop will exceed that movement by 3,933 cars. "The quality and sizes of California lemons this season will be exceptionally good, according to present indications," says Salo-Manager Powell. With the liberal supplies in sight the Trade may be assured of sufficient quantities of this fruit through the entire season, so that the customary speculation upon shortage of supplies need not enter into the lemon deal during the current year," states Mr. Powell.

HEAVY TAXES ON REAL TRANSFERS California led all states in the Union, except New York, in income derived from profits on the sale of real estate, stocks and bonds, which was reported in personal income tax returns for the calendar year 1921. Figures on the income tax survey for the business year 1921, which were announced yesterday by Collector of Internal Revenue Rex Goodcell, further shows that in personal income reported California ranked fourth among the states, being exceeded by New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois only. This officially designates California as one of the four big states. Total personal income reported for income taxes in California reached the staggering sum of $1,386,491,000. For wages and salaries, $752,-998,000 was reported. This total was exceeded only by New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio, with California and Massachusetts running a close fifth. California produced $169,772,-000 in income from business. The rank here is: New York first; Pennsylvania, second; Illinois third and California, fourth. In dividends California reported $120,484,000, which ties with Ohio for fifth place among the states. From interest and investments income, California returned $120,449,000, running Illinois a tie for third place. Partnerships reported income of $89,612,000, from rents and royalties, $99,328,000, and from interest on government securities not wholly exempt from tax, $2,-224,046. An outstanding feature of Collector Goodcell's survey is the statement that California reported more personal income than the combined amount turned in by 13 western states—Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming, which returned $1,384,452,000, compared with the California total of $1,386,491,000.

LINE ON RESOURCES FOR NEXT CONFLICT WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. — If the United States ever enters into another war, military officials of the government will know just exactly where they stand—at least so far as resources are concerned. Since the world war and the reorganization of the army under General Pershing's plan, every branch of the service has conducted exhaustive inquiries into every phase of the country's resources—such as man-power, food supply, transportation facilities and every other factor that would enter into the problem of national defense in time of war. This fact is shown by the annual reports to the secretary of war by the various military branches, and especially by the report of Major-General William H. Hart, quartermaster-general of the army. This report outlines the transportation facilities of the country and the transportation plan which would be put into effect in time of emergency. Riutcel-W 151 N.

OLD TINER LED ESCAPE LANSING, Kans., Dec. 3.—An old timer, serving his second term in the Kansas State Penitentiary, led the 13 convicts who escaped thru a tunnel to safety, according to prison officials here today. The prisoner, Frank Castro, 60, negro, had remembered the existence of the abandoned tunnel, sealed 20 years ago. Even old guards had not recalled the secret tunnel and many of them did not know of its existence. Castro had aided in sealing up the old passageway for the new one. Late yesterday, while 4000 other convicts were enjoying Sunday, Castro led the 12 other prisoners into the secret tunnel. The escaped convicts literally surrouped themselves thru rock, noud and slime which half blocked the abandoned tunnel before they reach an opening, 400 feet away. Castro, the leader and "braius" of the delivery, chose his men from among the convicts who had good prison records, a checkup of the prisoners at the institution today showed.
