u number of very good sales have been reported the past few days. Its a splendid time to buy property, to remodel or to build and the more of that kind of business transacted, the better for every one. —l There is no doubt that Second street ought to be resurfaced and we know that every body will appro- j date It if the work can be done I I this year. It will provide labor.; furnish a decent pavement for | motorists and pedestrians and since! iit has to be done, there just couldn't! be a better time. County officials j are trying to meet the demands. Harl "Spot" Hollingsworth will join the state police force tomorrow and in whatever capacity he is placed, will prove efficient. He has had fifteen years experience in that line of work, as an Oregon ranger, marshall at Geneva • and sheriff of this county and knows the duties, has the courage and is courteous. Ha should make good. The Adams Pest of the American Legion has established a new record, membership now exceeding three hundred. The local post is recognized as one of the livest organizations in the middle west and its continual growth is a mark of credit. The boys are always anx , ions to assist, in matters of lyjneral ■ interest and have a number of successes to their short history. Judge McNabb has ordered a ( clean-up of vice and liquor activities in Fort Wayne and declares that unless the police follow his orders immediately he will call a special grand jury to see whats going on and why and the way the judge says it we have an idea it will soon net be so easy to get a quart of the old stuff that makes the eyes grow glassy. Bryan Untiedt, the lad who gave his own coat that other children caught in the big snow storm in j Colorado a few weeks ago, might live, has concluded the happiest occasion of hjs life and no differ-| ence what his future may be we ■ doubt if he will ever have a greater | thrill than his visit with President : Hoover and family. He has been well entertained every minute and seems to have made good with all the folks he has met in Washington. The boys paraded Saturday. It was their day, closing the big week which is dedicated each year to them. Its a great movement for what we do tor the boys we are doing for the men of tomorrow and how soon it does roll around. Seems like only a half dozen years since we were playing rounders, joining : parades and doing the things these i youngsters are and here we are j with a flock of grandchildren, bald I and ready for a cane.

HOLLYWOOD, April 00.— While music no longer is openly employed to work upon the emotions in screen dramas, it is creeping back in the form of underi scoring. Correctly used, this music is heard by audiences only through their subconscious minds, it gives ' pulse and character to the drama and £oes on simultaneously with I the dialogue Dr William Axt. former musical director at the Capitol theatre in New York, and Oscar Radin are developing this new art at Metro- | Goldwyn-Mayer "Music in underscoring,” explains Dr Axt. "has to be unobi trusive—just something to color I the dialogue. If an audience has | to listen for it, we have failed. On i the other hand, if it distracts their attention from the dialogue, also I we have failed ” Great care has to be used in the i choice of instruments. Woodwinds, says Dr. Axt. blot dialogue. The : music of one flute, for instance, would be fatal Muted string secI tions over brasses are the best form of instrumentation for the new type of underscore Ramon Novarro’s new picture, has a dozen motifs, ranging from Brahms to folk songs “The Secret Six.’’ a gang picture, has music from several Wagnerian operas in its underlying score In the future.

GRECIAN TEMPLE: USED AS MODEL FOR MEMORIAL Georgian Marble Used In Construction of Harding Tomb By Ralph Teatsorth. UP. Staff Correspondent. Mariou. 0., May L—<U.R>—The memorial to President Whrren G. Harding, which will be dedicated by President Hoover on June 16, stands at the southern edge of the city and is of Grecian architecture. The memorial is of Georgia marble and is located in the center of a 10-acre tract along the MarionColumbus highway, adjoining McKinley Park. It is circular, with 48 marble columns forming the circle. The columns represent the 48 states. Insld;i the circle is an open court, surrounded by a marble walk. Within this court are two concrete sarcophagi containing the liodies of President und Mrs. Harding. The sarcophagi rest in a deep vault at the center of a grass-cov-ered plot. Each grave'is covered by a massive granite slab. Modelled After Old Temple Henry Hornbostel and Eric Wood, Pittsburgh architects who submitted the design for the memorial, patterned it after the circular temple of ancient Greece. From I the ruins of this temple, the designiers obtained the basic plan for the j memorial. Roman architecture also contributed to the plan of the memorial. The Romans built circular buildings and huge stone tombs for their emperors. The circular form of the monument presents a more impressive appearance than the rectangular because it has no definite direction on the exterior and no climax on the interior. The Harding tomb also differs j from others in that it lias no door- ! way. It has much of the appearance of a garden crypt. The beauty I of the interior colonnade has been I enhanced by the planting of trees I and other vegetation. The design-1 ers of the memorial strove to avoM I the oppressive or forbidden irn-l pression given—J>y most monuments of its kind. Form of Latin Cross The form of the Latin cress was' I used in the landscaping plan, the; memorial being placed at the intersection of the arms of the cross. I The main approach to the tomb i was placed on the of the I longer arm of the cross. Trees i have been planted along the sides of the outlined cross. A general boulevard system is a] part of the memorial plan, connecting the memorial grounds with McKinley Park, owned by the city. ■ The boulevard running east and west is three-quarters of a mile in length. Construction work on the Harding memorial was begun in 1925. The cornerstone was laid in 1926 and the task was actually finished in 1929. The landscaping was not • completed until 1930. The cost of the memorial was . between $750,000 and SBOO,OOO. Os this amount, $550,000 was spent on the monument and approximately > $25,000 on the grounds and landscaping. i « 300,000 Locomotives Used Philadelphia May '.. — <U.R) — A I fleet of nearly 300,000 locomotives, ' passenger, freight and woi’k cars ■ were required for the operation of the Pennsylvania railroad system in 1930, officials of the company 1 declared. o . 1 Five-Legged Calf Born Bellefontaine, O„ May (U.R) 1 — '!
