BEAUTIFUL STARS BOX OFFICE ATTRACTIONS AT THE LIBERTY Letters The People This Column It Open To Signed Communication Onlg r- 'I. il, -sly A WORD FOR BRIDGMAN Editor, The News-Palladium: On September 9th, next, the voters of Berrien county to select the Republican candidate for sheriff, and we would certainly be most ungrateful if we did not tell you of our experience. The average voter is very prone to think that he is not really personally concerned in whom the sheriff Is. Little did dream that the time would cone when we would be most vitally Interested in the sheriff and deputy sheriffs of this county, but that time did come and then we learned just what it means to need the services of a real sheriff. On the 30th day of August, 1929, our 15-year-old daughter was kidnaped by the "Gates gang," so-called.

This "gang" consisted of William Gates and hia two sons who were driving about the country in a high-powered Packard automo bile; they took our daughter with them and drove all over the United States into Kentucky, California, Virginia, Indiana, Mis souri and Ohio never remaining in one place longer than one night. They did not permit our daughter to communicate with us in any way. The letters she wrote and the telegrams they pretended to send were- never sent and for ten long weeks, without one word from our daughter, we suffered the tortures of the damned. We did not know where she was; whether she was dead or alive all we knew was that the "Gates gang" had taken her. We annealed Berrien county to locate our baby girl; it was all in vain and as a last resort we appealed to our personal friend George C.

Brldgman who was then a private citizen, but we knew that once he got on the case he would never let up until our daughter was restored to us, and our appeal was not in vain. For six solid weeks Brldgman drove night and dav in his automobile all through Indiana, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Missouri, following every clue be could get." Several tlnres he was but an hour behind them, biit nothing daunted Bridgman. Hot on the trail, he never let up until the "Gates gang" was landed behind the prison bars. During this hunt, Bridgman located eleven wives the "Gates gang" had married, only to abandon them. The "Gates gang" was returned to Michigan and indicted In the federal court at Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is now' serving its sentence in the federal Only you mothers and fathers can appreciate the suffering and agony we endured during the six weeks Brldgman was hunting for our baby girl and we knew nothing of her whereabouts or her condition until she was once again-safely home with ns, and but for our friend, Bridgman, we feel quite cer-taiu we would still be bemoaning our little girl.

This, or some other such circumstance, may personally affect you, you can never tell, and if it does you will want an officer of the calibre and courage of George Bridgman to protect you. This is the kind of protection he gives! From grateful hearts. MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM BERK.

It reveals the four Marx brothers in new and funnier roles in a merry mad chase of the quartet a mevrier chase even than they had in "Tim Cocoanuts" in another capacity comedy. "Animal Crackers" makes its debut at the Liberty this Sunday and continues Monday and Tuesday. "This is a big event in moviedom this season," said Manager Elwyn Simons today.

In "Animal Crackers" Harpo, ono of the brothers, plays on a $12,000 harp. In addition to Miss Roth, tho red-haired beauty, the cast presents Margaret Dumont, Louis Sorin, Hal Thompson. Margaret Irving, Kaih-ryn Rcece, Richard Greig, Edward Metcalf and The Music Masters. "Animal Crackers" is the first talking picture for the red-haired young actress, and she is highly enthusiastic over the prowess that has been made since last she- appeared before the camcvas. Margaret Irving, daughter of Old Kentucky, named by Howard Chandler Christy and James Montgomery Flagg as one of the world's seven most beautiful women, is re-enacting in "Animal Crackers," a photoplay equivalent of the role she created for the Marx Brothers in their original stage version of this mad farce.

The citv commission Is submitting an Issue of U80.000 to the if tho money will viicua. i 1 be spent on new mains, filter beds, pump and other necessary equipment to Increase the capacity of Joral plant. Ten years ago the city spent 1250,000 to build the present water 1 filtration plant. It is so hooked up that both well water and St. Joseph river water can be used.

The plant was built to produce, under normal renditions, two million gallons of water every 24 hours. During the 'past summer production had been atepped up to two and three times this amount during periods when water consumption was abnormal. It rhould be obvious to all that the water plant can't continue to be overtaxed as it has been. If this overtaxlns continues it will mavn equipment and other troubVv ionly that, but we seriously if 'under such abnormal cf water production that the hp-'. ply can be properly treated and puri-; fled.

Bond proposals are not popular Isaacs to submit to taxpayers and citizens these days. This, in truth, 4 is no hour to be spending public nnosaannahlv But public improvements must come along as iney are jieeucu 11 yuunu is to be economically conducted. There Is such a thing as false economy in public affairs as well as in private business enter- pnss. The best argument we know of in favor of the improvement, of the present water plant is that in 1911 'the eity hired Engineer Alvbrd of aaar to anrvpv the lnrai ffralrl.

One single fire in the Benton Har-tbor business district, at a tim jwhen water is scarce, might well Iwipe out in values ten times the 'amount of the bonds that will be voted on next, Tuesday. MATCHING LINDY'S FLIGHT Two daring Frenchmen, Capt. iDieudonne Coste and Maurice Bel-tante, have at last backtracked (Lindbergh's trail across the long rand dreary Atlantic wastes and for the first time in history have made von-stop flight from Paris to New York.

Eastward, from New York to flew the gallant and courageous Lindy three years ago last May. He flew alone to fame and glory. Since then at least a dozen Uvea have been sacrificed in oth-lr Atlantic crossings. The westward flight from Paris to New York has always been considered the harder of the two, for adverse headwinds and bad weather condition! on this side of the Atlantic, have, until this week, thwarted very other attempt that airplanes have made to "hop" from the Old ta the New world. For sheer bravery, courage and skillful flying, Coste's flight Is a spectacular companion piece to Lindbergh's eastward flight to Paris.

Americans, quite naturally, that it was one of their nationality to make the first individual flight from continent to continent with no intervening stop. Could they have had a choice as to who should have had the honor of the first successful westward flight they would have selected a French plaae and pilot for purely sentimental reasons. It was fitting that some French ace of the air should back-track Lindy'i trail and repay that historic "call" which the Lone Eagle made so unceremoniously but so meJestly only three years ago. Now that Coste and his gallant companlon-of-the-clouds have done 'this very thing- there is real and genuine rejoicing on these shores. 'WOMEN FLITTING AROUND t- At the Chicago air races were many women amateurs who flew there In their own planes.

They from air points of the compass, landed gracefully, stepped out, wsnt to wash off the dust and pow- 4er their noses, then quietly took thtlr seats to watch the other flyers.

plain American," Jeanne Williams a few years ago came to Hollywood with a synthetic foreign accent and the adopted name of ionia Karloff and with the combination, plus her beauty, attracted a director's attention and won a film contract. She dropped from the screen a short time after her deception was discovered, and now Is back Juliette Compton on Broadway. To avoid a similar fate Juliette Compton, also a pretty and "just plain American," has been doing everything in her power to lose the English accent she acquired during three years on the London stage and five years in English movies. Not So Helpful Although not long ago possession of an English accent was the talkie player's proudest boast, Miss Compton found when she came to Hollywood a year ago, she says, that ner accent, and the producers' belief that she was English, hindered rather than helped her talkie career. She was denied roles which, as Juliette Compston of Columbus, she might have won with ease.

Unlike Sonia, she says she Mid not try to pose as a foreigner, but the results in both cases were about the same except that Juliette is still here and has a contract. Her speech now is only slightly English, and very much Georgia. Unique Hundreds of actresses have run away from home to go on the stage. Therefore Miss Compton is unique she was almost a runaway, but not quite. In New York on a visit, she obeyed an impulse to stay, merely neglecting to return home.

Her first role was with Fay Balnter in "The Kiss Burglar," and later she played in the Follies." John Murray Anderson, lately director of "The King of Jazz," took a number of girls, Juliette among them, to England for stage productions, and before long she was playing opposite the English star, Gerald DuMaurier. Then she became a star in British pictures. She may be remembered for her work-in "Nell Gwyn," with Dorothy Gish, w.hich was generally released in America. Her first Hollywood talkie, "Woman to Woman," was unsuccessful, but since she has played in "Ladies of Leisure," and in "Anybody's Woman," and "Morocco."

THE FIRST CONGRESS On September 5, 1774, the first Continental Congress met in Carpenters' Hall. Philadelphia.

Fifty-five delegates, representing all of the colonies but Georgia, attended the first assembly. 'They represented a population of 2,200,000. Resolutions, from various sections of the country, stating their wrongs, were presented to the congressmen, Also, a petitiop to the British king (the declaration of rights and was ordered. That document stated that 'by the riddance of the system of laws and regulations of which the colonists complained, harmony wou-ld be restored. "We ask but for peace, liberty and safety," the petition declared.

"We wish, not a diminution of the prerogative nor do we solocit the grant of any new right In our favor. Your royal authority over us and our connection with fireat Britain we shall always carefully and zealously endeavor to support and maintain." The delegates agreed that another congress should be held within a month unless the redress of grievances which they desired was obtained before that time. The first Continental Congress adjourned October 26, after a secret session of 51 days.

These two brilliant stars of stage Sidney Blackmer, appear In a new Racket." The flesh and blood medium of entertainment for a fickle public is said to be far outclassed in the screen version of the play called "The Love Racket" at the Bijou theatre for one day only today.

The reason for this opinion is found in the dainty person of Doro-try Mackaill. For the first time this writer has become convinced that the flesh-and-blood dramatic medium is. completely outclassed.

lata Qoiajasa Position of Sleep "What side is the best to sleep on?" Is a question the physician is frequently asked. People have the impression that one position Is better than another, and that some postures are to be avoided. The most universally objected-to position is on the left side. You will be told that it interferes with the circulation of the blood and the free action of the heart. Or again, you will be told that this position places a strain op the stomach, and brings about a' congestion of the left half of the brain.

A search through medical literature shows, however, that there are ae many opponents to one, as to any other sleeping posture, and that, in fact, relatively little of a convincing nature is known on the so-called normal, or best, posture. Recently, however, an interesting contribution to this matter was reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association by Johpson, Swan and Weigand. scientists studied the various postures which normal persons take during normal sleep. By using motion-pictures, electrical timing clocks, etc, they were able to secure a record of the different positions assumed and of the time duration during which these postures were held. conclusions drawn are that the healthy sleeper does not prefer any ona position to the exclusion of all the others.

On the contrary, the healthy sleen-er, in the course of a typical night of -eight' hours, changes from oua position to another from 20 to 45 times. r-v-' The larger number of position are -maintained for but a few and, ths average holds. tli Vtw Yak .3. -s Powerful 1 'v Story of the European '3wvHL Dancing every Saturday Night at S'-Hl" 1 OTHER ADDED EXTRAS I CharUeChas WORK" jlajXEQI?
