As funny as were Universal's pre- vious Cohen-Kelly pictures they suf- fer in comparison to this latest.joy- epic from Carl Laemmle's studios.

STANLEY RUMORED * OPPOSED TOLINKS May Not Approve Public Course on North End Tract The possibility of there being some | objections from A. W. Stanley, who retains the life use of the Stanley tract presented to the city for a park, against the use of part of that tract for a public golf course, is sus- | pected because of certain correspon. | dence between Mr. Stanley and Ar- | thur E. Berg, clerk of the board of | park commissioners. Mr. Berg, who is one of the prime | movers for a public golf course, ad- | mits having corresponded with Mr. | Stanley. who now is in Europe, on | this subject, but has declined to di- !vulge the contents of the letters. Asked Jast evening if he intended toi report on them to the park commis- sion, Mr. Berg replied “No, they are not public property. They are pe r., {sonal correspondence between two | individuals.” The fact that residents in the| vicinity of the Stanley tract have voiced their objection te a proposed airport in that section, and that a few years ago the Chamber of Com- | merce dropped a move to create a | municipal motor camp in what was | 1t that time an undeveloped section of Stanley Quarter park because Bel- videre residents objected, might| have some significance on the fact that Mr. Berg, an enthusiast for a ! golf course there, has chosen to| make a mystery of Mr. Stanley's u.‘ titude, Due to the fact that Mr. Berg and | Dr. Henry R.

MONTE GARLO OVER 'Solution Suggutod for Ending 5 | mostly s of Little Monaco Nice, France, April 17 (#—Pre- gictions have been numerous along | the Riviera that unless the June 1 election in Monte Carlo goes to the liking of the discontented elements the principality of Monaco will, within six months, ask France to take over administration of the tiny realm. The trouble is between the 700 voters of the country and the man- agement of the Monte Carlo casino. Newspapers along the French Riviera have given considerable space to the stiuation and have been quoting history to prove that | state is really | a “fief"” of France. 1 In the | year of the world war, on 1918, to be exact, a was signed which gave France the right to intervene in the Monaco administration at any time that the principality might not be able to control its own s | (e le Lucrative Trade in | referred to in as a | that affairs.

Ten years after getting his titie Honore and Cardinal Richelieu signed a treaty by which Monaco went un- der the protection of Louis XIII. This pact was confirmed by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713. Next came the French revolution and in 1793 the French National Convention passed a biil uniting Monaco to France as part of the The Napoleonic era saw Monaco buffeted about in the whirl of in. ternatiznal politics, but in 1815 the principality was reestablished un. | of the kingdom of | The troops of that coun- try garrisoned Monte Carlo until Sardinia. again declared Monaco a part of | France.

Then the auction or horse market was & teeming place, with bankers matching teams. farmers trading, work horses, dandies wanting the ' latest in buggy animals, seeking the short-coupled, showy Morgan, while sports anxiously sought road- sters, with lots of speed and no lost motion. But today all the dash and color is gone, except at occasional horse shows. Farmers do not trade any to speak of and the buggy animal, except as a show piece, has passed from the picture ONE HORSE MARKET CLINGS IN FRISCO Once Colorful Field San Francisco, April 17 (UP)— Therc is at least one place in the nation where the horse, sometimes this mechanical “one cylinder hay-burne making a quiet but determined last stand. And there is a man in San Fran- cisco, where the horse still enjoys a degree of popularity as a work animal, who makes approximately 000 vearly bartering horses, draft animals. generally accepted theory the horse will soon join the Dodo and other relics of by-gone ages, is all “hooey,” according to Frank Gasparo, operator of San Francisco's last remaining horse market. “Business is just fair and alwa will be, on a moderate scale,” Gas- paro will tell anyone taking the bother to ask him. “Things are slack, of course,” he says, “'but con- ditions never will get worse. Some horses always will be needed, esp cially in San Francisco where the nature of the city makes for nu- merous short hauls in drayage.” And it i3 on the short haul, one learns, that the horse shines and more than holds his own against | gasoline propelled vehicles. On long hauls, making speed a worthwhile factor, the horse has no chance.
