This is the second time that Mr. Wolpert has been held up while attending the Standard Oil Service station, and the sixth or seventh time that the station has been robbed since it was built.

time he impersonated a German sound expert. In this capacity he informed the officials of an important studio that their sound stages faced the wrong way, that they were constructed with the wrong material and that the recording equipment was not satisfactory for the best results. By the time he had finished the officials had decided to scrap $280,000 worth of sound stages and start all over again. Barnett considers his second best gag out here was pulled on Bobby Jones. Posing as a caddy, he drove golf’s champion of champions almost crazy. Finally, on the eighteenth hole, Jones made an almost perfect shot from a downhill lie. As the ball stopped just short of the green, there was a hushed silence from the spectators. At the peak of it,Vince drawled: “Sarazen would have made the green." In his time, Barnett has ribbed I Calvin Coolidge, Colonel Lind-1 bergh and most of the Senators I in Washington. I’d always heard that he had I taken a couple of punches on the nose. But he says no. His closest escape, he declares, was when he prevented Norman Kerry and Jack Pickford from entering a ballroom. “You college boys get away with a lot,” he said, "but you can’t crash this party. Go on back to your fraternity houses." While Jack and Norman were arguing to see which should hit him, friends rushed to the rescue. LATEST GOSSIP.

CHICAGO OPERA I SEASON WILL ' BEGIN NOV. 2 Three Revivals and Three Novelties Listed For Winter Chicago —<UP)—Three interesting novelities and three revivals were announced by the Chicago Civic Opera Company as rehearsals i began for the 10 season starting: Nov. 2. Os the novelties, two are to be I sung in German and one in Italian | Mozart's comedy and satire, "The Magic Flute,” with its setting among the mysteries of ancient Egypt, wilj be heard in German. Max Schiling's "Mona Lisa,’’ laid in tlie Italian Renaissance, and dealing with the story of the famous portrait of “La Giocanda,” the “Smiling One,” also will be heard in German. The third novelty, Leoni's “L'Oracolo,” to be sung in Italian, is a melodrama presented with the inspiration of great music, it deals with San Francisco's Chinatown before the earth quake. On the revivals, one is in French, one in German and one in Italian. In French, Massenet's masterpiece, "Herodiade," called the French "Alda," is a visualization of the biblical drama of Salome. In German, Wagner's consecrational festival music drama. "Parsival,' In Italian. Andrea Chanier. o Predicts Big Acreage It early intentions mean anything a relatively large acreage of wheat will be sown following soybeans this fail. Such Is the comment of C. E. Skiver of the Agronomy Department of Purdue University, who is in close touch with the wheat situation in connection with the wheat improvement program of southwestern Indiana. Wheat following soybeans offers one of the best opportunities to reduce the cost of giowing this crop as it eliminates much of the expense of seed bed preparation. The cost of producting wheat is an important factor, for it Indiana farmers are going to compete with western wheat growers they will have to use every possible means of reducing production costs.

Edgar Selwyn will put on the nuggets’ play, "Advantage Out,” before he turns his hand to Frances Marion’s "The Lady Is Tired”. . .Lionel Barrymore never eats lunch. A lot of other people don’t these days, but not for the same reason. ROBBIE GETS RAISE. Stardom is promised Robert Armstrong in a new five-year contract he has just been awarded by RKO-Pathe. In the meanwhile, he and Jimmy Gleason will co-star in a wrestling story. Earl Baldwin is writing it, to follow up “Suicide Fleet,” in which Robbie and Jimmy now are appearing with Bill Boyd. I don’t have to remind you that the Gleason-Armstrong team started back in the days of “Is Zat So?" They are close friends in private life as well as on the screen. STARS TURN OUT. One of the surprises of the year was Hollywood’s turnout for the Los Angeles premiere of I. J. Golden’s play, “Precedent.” Led by Paul Bern, who bought a block of 100 seats, the film people almost took over the Music Box Theatre. For once they caught the autograph seekers off their guard. Only a handful were at work

among the brilliant throng. To name a few of the celebrities, there were: Jetta G oud a 1 and her husband ; Frederic ’March and Flore nee El- | dridge; Mary Duncan; King ■ Vidor and Elea- ; nor Boardman; Owen Moore and Kathryn Perry; 1 vat Lebedeff (without a girl);

Few of the recent film premieres have boasted as many names. *, DID YOU KNOW That Victor McLaglen fought an exhibition bout with Jack Johnson when Johnson was world's champion ?

When wheat is planted on a soybean stubble the amount of work necessary to make a good seed bed depends upon how clean the beans have been. In many cases excellent wheat yields have been obtained by simply drilling the wheat in- the field without any preparation. In other cases it has been necessary to give the field one or two discings according to the amount of weed growth-present. One of the things I to avoid is getting the seed-bed too loose. Moderate applications of commercial fertilizer wil give an excellent account of themselves on wheat that follows soybeans. The beans are heavy feeders and take a relatively large amount of plant food from the soil in a relatively short period. Thus the wheat goes into a soil that has had but little rest and naturally responds readily to the stimulus of some readily available plant food. While the requirements of the different soils vary, the use of a complete fertilizer such as 2-12-6 should give an excellent account of itself on wheat that is sowed following soybeans. Q Alfalfa Bill Assumed Role of State Cupid Durant, Okla, — (UP) — When Gov. Wiliam H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray defied federal court injunctions to open the new free bridge over Red river between Denison, Tex., and Durant, he was a big held for the court clerk's office in Bryan county. All previous records for the number of licenses issued in one month were broken the mouth after the bridge was opened. The court clerk gave 288 couples permission tp wed and nearly 90 per cent of them were from Texas. 0 Alaakan Heat Fairbanks.
