FILM TALKIES TO BE USED IN CHURCH WORK Presbyterian Chiefs in Session Here to Study latest Religious Step. Prc&byterwn officials and field workers in conference at the Sevcrin Wednesday night will see and hear one of the first attempts to show a completely synchronized service of church worship on the screen. The service will be conducted by Oliver R. Williamson of Philadelphia. Presbyterian promotion director. and H. Paul Jones, who has developed the ‘Talkies for religious work. We are the only group in the churches using talking pictures in our program of religious education,” Williamson said. “Ten to twelve years ago attempts were made to use films in church work, but efforts were unsuccessful because of lack of sufficient material for a wellbalanced program. ‘ Today, although experimentation ..till goes on, it is possible to enjoy a complete church service by using i projector in the church.” Recent developments in the me- < hanics of audition sets have lowered the cost to less than S2OO. exclusive of the ordinary film projector. 'The talking pictures are not intended as a, substitute for services conducted by the pastors and local workers. They will be used to supplement church work by bringing trained speakers to small churches,” Williamson said. The meetings of approximately ixty field representatives will continue, until Friday afternoon. The Thursday and Friday sessions will be under the direction of the Rev. Morris C. Robinson, assistant editor lor intermediate and senior publications. GAMBLING SENTENCES APPEALED BY 3 MEN < Tty Court Convictions Last October Were Upheld by Baker.

MOVIE DOG MAKES FRIENDS ON STAGE Rin-Tin-Tin and His Master, Lee Duncan, Show How an Anjmal Can Be Trained Along Human Lines. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN 1 SUPPOSE that the children of Mother Dog and Papa Dog have asked their parents how they can get into the movies. Probably one of the most famous dogs in movieland, Rin-Tin-Tin is telling humans this week at the Lyric how 7 dogs can get into the movies. Lee Duncan, trainer of the dog, makes it plain from the start that Rin-Tin-Tin is not a trick dog, but a “working dog.” hi other words, Rin-Tin-Tin has been trained to do certain things in the act like his master w 7 ants him to. Duncan gives a good demonstration of how he puts his dog through certain scenes in the movies.

And the dog knows his business so w 7 ell that he even “whispers a bark” when told to do so by his master. This act is really just an explanation without any frills of how Rin-Tin-Tin does certain things on the screen. And Rin-Tin-Tin through Iris master lets it be known that he is going to make two “talking” pictures this season. The Honey Boys in blackface bring back some melodies of the old minstrel days with a modern touch as w 7 ell. The Shuberts are acrobatic in nature. Marjorie yj June and Mary are just youngsters!

HUNGER, ACUTE NEED REPORTED TO WASHINGTON Government Has Made No Loans'for Food From t Relief Fund. By Scnpps-Hoicard Sctcspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, March 17. Drought suffering is acute in some sections, and some farmers and others are in need of food, according to reports reaching here. The department of agriculture is just getting well under way its distribution of the $45,000,000 fund for feed, seed and fertilizer, but no loans have yet been made from the $20.000.000 fund appropriated for "agricultural rehabilitation.” This term was demanded by the administration after congress deadlocked on the appropriation, and it was interpreted by those who favored the compromise as meaning human food. Regulations governing making of such loans in the five states of Tennessee. Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi fi-.ve just been issued. Two other sets of regulations have been drawn for the other drought-stricken states. Hundreds Must Go Hungry Technicalities thrown about all of these loans is delaying distribution and is causing resentment on the part of some of those who were to have been helped. In addition, some protests are still being heard here over the manner of distributing Red Cross funds. S. E. P. Smith of the drought relief committee of Crosby county, Texas, has just wired Senator Thomas Connally (Dem., Tex ) that the Red Cross there is denying aid to farmers who are obtaining feed and seed loans from the government. He pleaded with Connally to get the government to speed up its machinery so Crosby countians might borrow without collateral so they may cat. “Tire government loan feeds the livestock, but hundreds of families must suffer and go hungry unless the Red Cross or some other agency furnishes food. Please do something for us,” Smith wired. Food Loans Begin at Once The agriculture department's three-page set of regulations governing “rehabilitation” loans in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana set out that $10,000,000 of the $20,000,000 fund will be aavilable to individual farmers. C. W. Warburton, secretary of the federal drought relief committee, said that feed, seed and fertilizer loans were now being made in twenty-eight states, and that approximately $10,000,000 had been distributed. This work has been going on since January. Arrangements have been made to inaugurate making of “rehabilitation” loans in at least fifteen states, but actual distribution of this $20,000,000 fund will not get under way until some time this w r eek. In addition to these government loans, the Red Cross has just reported that it is aiding approximately 2,000,000 persons in twentytwo states. Wife Asks SIO,OOO By Times Special AUBURN, Ind..

¶ Eugene V. Brewster, former millionaire magazine publisher, has lost all his fortune but a pittance of between $50,000 and $100,000, he says.
