FOrtTY-SBVENTH YEAR—No. 36; CUMBERLAND. BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY. AUGUST .11, 1928 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS l'ER ANNUM Canadian Collieries take over Western Fuel Corp., September 1st OIL FROM COAL ScoU-h Inventor Suid to Have Solved Secret After YearB of Study Tlie Vancouver Daily papers carried u siory last week on the efforts of a Scotch Inventor for whom it Is claimed has Bolved the secret of extracting nil from coal, it is also reported that Bome European countries have approached Mr, Turner, the Inventor for Ills patents, but have been politely refused the inventor claim-1 ing he intended to keep liis secret for Britain. In the House of Commons London, it is said the government was quite non-committal on the subject, i 1 m simple language the process is described as follows: "Various schemes have been con-; sidered for the conservation or coal! for preventing the throwing away of money in the shape of smoke and soot. One of the foremost is the treai- j ment of all coal by a gasifying pro-1 ■cess at the gasworks, the extraction I or the by-products, and the burning in domestic and industrial fires of the residue—coke. But even thon | (here Is waste. Took Years to Perfect Anil now comes tills new wonder, the extraction of oil—running liquid petroleum oil-—from hard, black coal, i and the utilization of the residue as j an economical smokeless fuel which | burns away without cinders to a band- ful of white ash. Now. what seems wonderful. It is! On a plot of ground, less than half | an acre in area, situated in a wild part of the moors above Coalburn, j Lanarkshire, and known as the Co-1 mac Oil Works to those who Inquire, j stands a small-based building, high on I the landscape, with a smoke stack I and several tanks round about. Here Is the flrst commercial application of an invention which has taken years to ; perfect, much money to create, and great fortitude 111 the face of repeated setbacks to continue a triumphant ' finish. During the past 14 years or so I the inventor. Mr. Charles Turner, has j worked step by step towards the rea- izatlon of his early dreams, building In various parts of the counrty expert- mental plants. i Today liis works at Coalburn, though on a miniature scale compared with the gigantic plants whicb it is hoped to be able to erect iu chosen districts of our coalfields, are actually producing oil and smokeless fuel which have satisfied all tests, the output be- in booked by discerning consumers until January 1020. From / Theory to Fact Figures of years of calculation have given way to concrete facts; the work has passed from experimental to perfection; theory has been supplanted by accomplishment; no airy promises are held forth to the interested visitoi Instead petroleum oil is seen flowing from the retort, and light, smokeless fuel may be actually handled and sampled. All that is required now is development ou a scnle which will make the process be felt and appreciated not only In this country but In every other country. Scientists have seen and now believe. In numerous scientific and technical journals considerable notice has been given to the Turner process for the extraction of oil from coal by low temperature carbonization. But for the man in the street, the ordinary reader, and the housewife .such treatises nre unsatisfactory in this appeal, Therefore, in these articles It is intended to treat of the subject from n popular point of view, eschewing thc drily technical detail as much as Its possible. By the Turner process coal is carried by a bucket conveyor up to the top of a sixty-foot retort, ll is here dropped Into the cylinder, a valve automatically closes and the coal li sealed from the air. Indeed, the coal as we know it, Is never seen again. It Is transformed. When it reappears at tho foe: of this mysterious column it ha:; parted with Its oil and smoke and pitch, and is ready for burning without dirt, nnd with greater heat than ever before. In our fireplaces. By a series of special valves—tho master-key to Mr. Turner's invention —■the coal is passed through certain heating chambers and impregnated with low-pressure super-healed steam This is when the miracle takes place —all unseen until completed. The steam Is rnised in temperature; so great is It that the solid coal bursts out in sweat, and during the period of its "fever" its "pores" open and out of them oozes volatile—or ihe evaporating oil. This passes through another valve, with the steam, into a condenser. The steam is condensed to water, and the volatile to oil. Both constituents flow on In company—but very shortly they have to part tor ever. Improves Ojmlit> of Coal By this time we arc ai the bottom ot the 60-foot building. The water and oil mixture passes Into b separator, The oil, as is natural, rises to the top and Hows off by pipe to tlie containers The water escapes by au outlet al the lower end of the separator and flow-, outside to drain ns waste. That, very briefly, is how the Turner process al Coalburn steals froon the coal its most valuable components, yet without impariiig its usefulness and, indeed, improving its qualities. Right at the very fool of the retoit is a small chute.

Congratulations For Cumberland Cricketers The secretary of the Cumberland ricket club is in receipt of several ongratulatory messages on the ex- ellent showing of the team in the last wo or three games. Quite a number of ihe residents of the city have be- ome interested in the game since the locals defeated the H.M.S. Durban team, a feat that no oilier team in British Columbia accomplished. The locals also easily defeated thu team from H.M.S. Despatch and followed up Ihe two victories with au excellent game against Nanaimo, only being defeated by Ihree runs, the last hit of the game deciding the issue for Nanaimo. Considering this is the first year a cricket club has been organized In Cumberland, the promoters of the idea to bo congratulated on the results, h lias been a hard uphill sirug- gle fur tlie six or seven faithful ones who can he seen every evening at the "V" doing their "stuff", in an endeavor It) improve Ihemseives and to keep Mn' club alive. In conversation wilh one ol tlie faithful the other evening we asked, "where are tlie others?" A sad shake of tlie heal was the only answer. It must come very hard ou a few who are constantly devising ways nud means to Improve the standing of the club and making necessary improvements to Ihe ground and we heartily congratulate them. We are given to understand that something special will he introduced in the next week or two to help ihe ciub along financially, when It is hoped success will crown the efforts of the hard working committee, Ily all means lei us keep the grand "Id game of crlckel going in Cumberland.

About twenty fans accompanied the Courtenay Baseball team to Powell liiver on Sunday aboard the "Joker B," and, apart from the ride over and back on the placid waters of the Gulf of Georgia, did not enjoy themselves nny too well, as thc locals got a proper trimming at the hands of the Paper- makers to the tune of eight runs to nil. However, we will be charitable and say that their demoralization was largely clue to the peculiarity of the Powell River diamond. It is cut out of the side of n hill, the left fielder up a steep embankment and the right fielder standing on the brink of a ■ drop of several feet. and. of course, ithe Papermakers, having no other j ' place to play and practising every night oi the week know its every twist. We do not wish to detract from the class of ball the Powell River boys put up; it was good ball on any diamond; but we really would have liked to have I seen the game a little more even.

PAGE TWO CUMBERLAND ISLANDER. CUMBERLAND, B.C. FRIDAY. AUGUST III. MS The Cumberland Islander PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND, B. C. EDWARD W. BICKLE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1928 M Iiin:> AXGEH MAY DO DAMAGE TO THK BOM Iri THERE any relationship between the cultivation of patience and good healtti? Can the failure to practice patience do you harm? W: i ii you buy a new automobile, the dealer tells you io b< extremely careful the first live hundred miles, You must nm go faster than twenty-live miles an hour. To go faster might cause serious friction in the machinery and result In permanent harm to the car. You are glad ta heed the advice. You are told not to Btarl in high gear and not to cull on the car for sudden and terrific spurts. There must be a gradual Inereu ol Bpeed and graduated demands upon the machinery. Tlmt is why we llnd "low", "second" and "high" spoed ararngemeuts In the gears. Withoul them the machinery would be ripped apart and ruined. What is anger? II Is exactly tho same as throwing a machine Into high speed, Sudden, unexpected and outrageous demands are made on the heart, lungs, the muscles and nerves. You can Btretch a small rubber band until it encircles a large package. Bui the Btretchlng must be gradually and carefully applied. In a sense the rubber must be coaxed. A sudden pull will break it. Anger and giving awaj to anger place a suden strain upon tissues unprepared tor it The blood vessel wall is placed under sudden ami terrific pressure, Winn happens? The tissues give way and there is a rupture of the vessel. There is nothing surprising about this. To permit your automobile to run Into s deep cut in the pavement causes the tire to strike bottom with a bang. No wonder you have a blowout. Certainly you have no rlghl to treat your body in a similar way. To give In io an outburst of temper is jnst as likely to blow out a blood vessel, with bleeding into the brain or Blsewhere. A tit of anger may end life. Many a case of ruptured blood vessel in the eye comet from sudden anger, with flushing In the face, bounding pulse and increase of blood pressure. I have seen several -uch cases. The self-poised, long-suffering ami patient person Is not likely to have such troubles as these. It ls the outburst of anger that results In trouble. Oi course, a perfectly normal blood vessel wall is not likely to give way under such conditions as I have sug- gostod. But when we get aong in life we may not have perfectly normal blood vessels. There Is a tendency toward hardening, one ol the .symptoms of Increasing age. To cultivate patience, then, is to guard those precious blood vessels and to protect yourself against the dangers of rupture. Not only does it do this, but to be patient leaves the mind clear and more alert. Patience is indeed a Virtue, KOYAL S, COPELANl). M.I).

At specially automatically regulated periods another valve opens and tlie coal residue Is shot down the chute out to a concrete lloor. lt is steaming hot, Two men riddle the fuel—il is n0 longer coal—and the screened matter Is kept back for furnace consumption on the works. The large pieces are then dipped into a tank of water. This is the washing process, and it is important from the housewife's point of view. A few seconds elapse while the fuel is in the tank the impure mattor sinks to the bottom; the good fuel free from dirt, is scooped oul and taken to the wagons standing a little way off. The material which sinks is used for superheat ing the steam through a gas-producer, Tims has the miracle happened. Oil has been made to flow from coal without waste, and automatically. Ami now for results. One ton of raw coal of ordinary bituminous quality products, by llie Turner process, fifteen cwts. of smokeless fuel and thirty galons of pitch free oil. It le here that the Turner process scores perhaps Its greotest success over its rivals. Their great drawback is the difficulty of effectively separating tbe pitch from the oil. Mr. Turner accomplishes this without loss. In the washing-tank, however, two cwts. ol the solid fuel sinks, so. from a selling point of view only thirteen hundredweight are obtained but this is ab solutely free from dirt of any descrip- ; tion. Oil from Peat I In his many experiments, Mr. Turner has produee<| from various quantities of peat from live to twenty-four gallons of oil, six hundred weight of charcoal and a good average of ace- lone and acetic acid per ton. From Norfolk oil shale he has recovered twenty-live galons of oil per ton, while from Scottish shale as many as eighty gallons have been extracted. While, greatest of all, Is the inventor's estimation that from Polish coal— whicli is a shale for all the world like fuller's earth aud is worked easily from the surface—103 galons of petroleum oil may he obtained. This is remnrkable from the point of view of the average man and woman. But even in scientific circles it is regarded as astonishing. Baseball i Continued from Page One No hits, no runs, one error.

The Same Hug A traveller was talking of having seen, In some foreign conulry, bugs j so large and powerful that iwo of them would drain a man's blood In he night Sir John Doyle to whom this was addressed replied: "My good sir, we have the same animals In Iredland, but they nre known thore by another name; they call them hum-bugs." Home's not merely four square walls. Though with pictures hung and gilded. Home is where affection calls, Filled with shrines the heart hath builded, Home! Go watch the faithful dove Sailing 'neath the heavens above us; Home is where there's one to love; j Home is when? there's one to love us. (Home's not merely roof and room; I | It needs something to endear it; | | Home is where the heart can bloom—J ' Tiiere there's some kind word to cheer it. What is home with none to meet— None to welcome, none to greet us? Home is sweet and only sweet— Where there's one we love to meet us. —Charles Swan.

"That you're bnttlltlg \vii.i his life— making your profit on his agony." "Phrases!" sneered Behrend. 'Cart'a no worsu off because I'm better off! Where's youi' common sense, One takes what one can get.' "Yes— blond money I" Behrend dwung himself on tits heel, and back again. "You tako it!" he accused. "What?" Behrend's finger shot out, steady, Indicating bhe money on the table, "Twenty-three gold pieces!" Arndt propelled himself forward in a sliigli! sweep he bad brushed the money from the table, ll fell, jingling, it rolled here and there on the floor. "Take them!" Arndt Commanded. "You're mad!" accused Behrend, not stirring. Arndt was. In this moment lie was beside himself—he did not know his own voice. His whole frame shook with righteous auger. "From the lloor!" cried Arndt. "On your knees! On your belly! Crawl! You can't stoop as low Lo get them back as you stooped |0 get tbem!" Behrend's difficult control broke. He suid furiously. "You damned pacifist!" "You damned traitor!" answered Arndt. There was a little pause, tense, hot terrible. Tbe bedroom door opened nnd i'auli came Into tlie room. She wore under tlie shabby cloak, tiie little grey silk frock whicb bad been her wedding dress. Singing very soft-. ly, in tbe oilier room, piling ber blonde hnir on ber small head, crooning over the sleeping child, she hud not heard the quarrel. "I'm going [or Mitzi," she railed.

Then he went to ibe chair and threw his overcoat aboul bis shoulders. There was silence in the rami. Through the door i'auli had left open a man entered. Not a man. but something thai had once been a man. A creature wlm shambled in on swollen feet, dirty, unshaven, with peering, shrinking, bloodshot eves .... clad in a tattered, filthy uniform. This was a wreck of a man. He staggered into tiie room, moving as one does in n trance, a dream. He stared • • stared ... as if unbelief ... as if in hideous doubt. His bitten lips parted. An inarticulate sobbing animal cry came from them, a cry wrenched out of bis soul . . . . a cry that finally translated itself into a single, pregnant word:— "Home" Hehrend was drawn hack a Utile alarmed. He asked, low "Who is il?" Arndt rose from his knees. lie looked inln tlu> dirty almost imbecile face and cried om, in horror, iu piiy. in amazement: — "My (Ind. Jan!" Jan wns crying. The tears ran salt down his unshaven cheeks, lost themselves in tlie ■mattered beard. He sobbed: — "I'm safe. I'm home." Behrend stepped forward. Ho nsked harshly:— "Whore's my son?" Jan wavered toward a chair. Tbe words lhal broke from hlni were difficult, painful, ns if each were edged Willi cutting steel. "I dnn't know.

"How? when"' His voice \.as devoid nf expression He knew His bauds relaxed slightly. Jan sbink himself free, put bis hands aoroaa his eyes. "I don't know. Don't ask me. For God's sake don't ask me!" In tbe silence lhal followed Arndt and Behrend heard Pauli's voice in the hall. "It's my wedding dress,' she was sayieg gaily, "and hooks all over everywhere.' "Paull," groaned Arndt. lie moved nearer Jan, "DnnT say any more now." lie warned the mnn. Behrend, very while. Intervened. "You're sure?" be pleaded desperately. Pnuli was coming nearer. Her hand was nn the door knob. She said laughing to Mitzi. "Such hooks!" "Just where you can't gel at Ihem, Mitzi answered, "Don't—dont!" said Arndt. very low the tears held back. "We must break it to her—Jan-stand there—say nothing—quickly!" He pushed the man back, but Jan broke from him wavered, standing as he was, near the door.

"It was like hell. Like day—with ihe guns and tlie rockets and shells. And behind the trench was caved in and we couldn't go back. We fell i>n our faces and dug into the mud. And it rallied bullets and guus and shrapnel Next to mo was a man was shot In the throat. And in front of us—almost near enough lo touch—was ihe men who'd been blown up." Behrend spoke hoarselw.

One man wasn't dead" - "Slop ll!" the professor cried. "For Cod's sake slup!" There was a pause. I'auli stood j straight, slim, her hands at ber side gave hlm small errands to do, allowed him to make the more practical of tbe arrangements. Arndt was very sorry for his friend and antagonist- - sorrier lu a way than he was fnr I'auli Pnuli liad had Carl—she had tier love and tin1 carnate expression of that love. Bui Behrend had nothing save money—not even memories. He'd never had the real love of his sou. and what is worse, he'd never loved tiie boy selflessly and passionately—he could nol look back upon tbelr past relations wiili sorrowful joy ami withoul self reproach—poor Behrend. The professor had risen amazingly lo ihis tragic crisis. He was more like himself than Mitzi had seen him In many months. He was a rock of strength, serene, understanding, lumi- ness. He'd held himself in readiness to help I'auli when she would turn tn him, as he knew she would turn. Hut not now. Now, for a time her curious exalted mood held her. she wus (lie spirit of womaa-liood rather than a woman. That was a long night, tbe night that was lo have been Carl's homecoming, i'auli watohed by her baby, or walked about Ibe little living-room She had not wept, she was dry-eyed quite, in each cheek a dangerous spot of brilliant color. Her eyes shone; tbey were blue stars. Now and then when one of the others approached ber she had a word for them, abstracted, kindly bul indifferent. Onee, when she found Mltzl crying her heart nut in a dim corner, she put her that other morning, long ago. As Ihe sun touched the roofs of distant houses and reflected palely-golden on tbe windows, she thought, in astonishment, it isn't possible, another dav. She wondered to find herself Still living, still breathing still going through al the mechanical gestures ot existence. She looked out over the street and at the bedraggled banner, unseelngly enough. She thought—Carl has gone and his son has gone, aud I am alone She tried to believe it. She could not She was stilled tilled with ibe fierce rapturous knowledge that her boy had escaped from lite. She had nol had lime as yet, t0 consider herself and ber own bondage of living, bid not hail time for self-pity, for tho grief of the bereaved whicli Is sorow for self and not for the dead. The sun rose radiant. Pnuli turned from Ihe window and went to Mitzi and put her arms around her. "You've been awfully good," she said, "please forgive me if 1 said anything to hurt you " They took tbe baby to Ihe quiet cemetery where bis grandmother bad slept these many years. And then come bui-k to the empty cold house. I'auli went straight to her bedroom and shut the door againsl her father, against. Mitzi. She wauled lo be alone she told them. Behrend, his eyes very red. returned io his home, Whlcb was also empty, and sat idly scrawling figures at his big desk in an overcrowded library. He had mnde u lot of money during Ibe hours when for once be had nol been thinking of It. At this moment it meant very little to him. It would have value in his eyes again, more value perhaps than ever, wlien the lirst shock bad passed and when his money game would be a distraction to him as well as a life business. Hut just for a Utile he sat and drew triangles und circles and squares and thought of bis dead wife and his lost son and his sou's son. There wns a little cold comfort al bis heart. He had said tu Arndt: "After ibis there mustn't he enmity between us—no matter how wrong 1 think you or you mo. You can't, refuse to let me help you now—you and I'auli in Carl's name. I -1 beg it, Leopold!" In nil humility he hud made ihe offer thai was in reality a plea. And Arndt bad understood. He'd answered, simply. "Thank you. August, I'll remember and ask you if we need you " It had cost ilio professor something lo make them promise. Hut in a way he had considered it an atonement. He shuddered lo the depths of his soul to think of his quarrel -he called it "brawl" with Behrend while the child lay dying soundlessly next door uml the father lay dead on a trampled battlefield of terror. Alone. In her room, Paull lay on bellied and thought of Carl. Life was going to be very bard for her. Siie had never realized liefore how closely Carl was bound up wilh all her memories. Not only as Ihe young lover and husband and comrade, bul as ihe child playmate, Since her babyhood—all through her life-Carl, Carl. She remembered the Ilrst day she had realized that she loved him. They'd been about eighteen, the two of them—he'd come to the flat and talked and talked uf all he wanted lo do—of the great things he meant to wrile—of how famous he was going io be. And she'd listened, not for the Ilrst ttuie, and found her mind wandering, discovered she was hearing more vividly the sound fn liis voice rather than tbe sense of thinking of the way bis mobile face shone and his face dreamed, of the way his hair grew over Ihe broad forehead; of his lean artistic hands and tbe set of his shoulders. And she had said to herself in a lovely, slow amazement:— "Why, I love Carl!" and then he'd cried oul, laughing, "I'auli. what is It? On my word. I believe you're blushing!" Yes it had been like that a slow growth a sudden slarry knowledge of maturity.

Does Your Child Sleep? When a child is blind in both eyes. tbt- condition is, of course, recognized There are many children who have defective si^hi. which fact is unknown to their parents. That this is so, is evidenced eveiy vear hy the number of children eii'eriug school, wbo ure found by school physicians to have defective eyesight. The good work W tbe scliool health service does not provide for tlio preschool child, or for the child who attends a school where Ihero is no school physician or nurse, A child should he able to recognize a picture or object one-half an inch square at twenty feel. Each eye is tested separately, one eye being covered with a card during the test of the other. For near vision, a picture book may be used. If there is any appreciable defect in either eye, for near or distant vision, tbo family physician should he consulted. Cross-eye Is a condition which is frequently neglected because of ig norance as to its significance by par- ei ts. Children with this conditio'! should lie placed under medical care without delay. A cross-eyed child sees double. This causes confusion and so the mind trains itself to pay attention only to the image that comes to it throught the straight eye. Tbls results in one eye's being developed through use and the other's becoming Ui eless because It Is not used. Unless the condition is properlv Heated early, tbe child loses the use Of one eye and is actually blind in that eye. If the child is treated between two and three years of age. the most, or all of his vision cau be saved the longer treatment is delayed, the i more vision is lost, Cross-eyed Is a condition that does not correct itself. Children do not grow out of It. i If ihe child is placed sitting, facing ' the parent, an arm's length away. ] wilh one eye covered by the parent's hand, nnd is made to look at the par- i ent's nose with the uncovered eye, : tho parent will llnd that, on uneovor- ! ing the other eye, it is either looking ; at the nose, which means that no i cross-eye is present, or that it moved In or out, or remained crossed In or out, which Is an evidence tbat cross- eye Is present. Your children will appreciate In 1 later years, your care of this special I organ. !

The chairman gave an outline of the proposed activities for Fair Day! and said that this year it was intended to concentrate more on races and! side shows. Owing to the new layout of the grounds, the hall was no longer the center of activities as in the past, but everything possible would be done to induce the crowd to visit tlie display of field and farm produce and domestic science tn the old hall. A stock judging ring would be constructed close to the new stock buildings and the horses would be paraded round the race track.

The Man of a Thounsand Faces adds another imperishable portrait to his screen achievements. Here is an unusual story, masterfully acted by the greatest of character stars, superbly directed by the man who made "Beau Geste" and "Sorrell and Son." Never will you forget Lon Chaney as the clown who finds love for one Heeling moment, and then loses it, hiding his heartbreak behind a painted smile.

With men . . . .Women ... .a nation at his feet. Through flaming love ... adoration Hate. To. . . . ! The most terrific climax the screen has ever known. Children, 2">c Adults, SOc. Jannings Fears No Scene "Thief" Emil Jannings, the great European character artist, who has scored so heavily in this country with "The Way of All Flesh" ami others for Paramount, has never had a scene "stolen" from him by another actor. When the cast was selected to support Mr. Jannlngs for "The Last Command" all Hollywood was agog, for the cast Included one of the greatest scene "thieves" lu the Industry that person being William Powell, who portrays suave villain roles. Although Mr. Powell does not intentionally try to overshadow the star he supports, ft Is a fact that his work and personality has stood out In most every case above that of the featured player. Just what luck Jannlngs will have iu "The Last Command" remains to be seen against this screen thief. As if Powell himself was not enough to cope with, another actor wbo Is steadily gaining recognition by the same method is Nicholas Soussanfn. Ho ap- j pears ns Jaiinlng's adjutant In thc production. Janning's fans, however, point out that this sterling character actor has always been able to hold his own In competition with the best Europe and this country can afford, and there is little doubt in their minds that Jannings will dominate In this one. Evelyn Brent will play opposite to Jannlngs in "The Last Command" which shows at tlie Ilo-Ilo, Monday and Tuesday, September, 3rd and 4th. Beery And Hatton Hit By Cupid In "Wife Savers" As soldiers, sailors and aviators Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton are a laugh. As yoedellers they are a scream, as mountain climbers they are a riot, and as duellers they are simply a panic. They do everything from breaking the hearts of the village maidens to fighting a duel in "Wife Savers," the new paramount comedy playing at the Ilo-Ilo, Wednesday and Thursday September 5th and 6th, and the entire picture ls just one big laugh, a comedy without a let-down. The story of this hilarious farce is as charming a bit of nonsense as has ever been put on the screen. It lias plot and It holds Interest, while tho characterizations are up to the usual Beery and Hatton standards of excellence. The two stars also have exceptional cast support In Ford Storing. Zazu Pitts, Tom Kennedy, August Toalre, Sally Blane and George Y. Harvey. The action all takes place in a small village on the Franco-Swiss border. Beery Is the biscuit maker for that section of the American Army stationed in the village and Hatton Is a second lieutentant in his out- lit. The armistice is signed and Beery blows up the army kitchen by way of celebration. He is ready to go home but is assigned by Hatton to remain in the village and guard his (Hatton's) girl. He at once gets into difficulties with General Lavorls over tho girl and is given a job as Alpine guide which Is supposed to be the same as a denth sentence. Then he gets Into more trouble when the girl Induces hlm to marry her. Beery survives the perils of the Alps after hair raising ami laugh filled adventures qnly to run into a duel with Hatton, who has returned to claim bis promised bride. There may have been funnier scenes filmed than this duel but it ts doubtful. The duel ends iu a triangular running match over the Alps between Beery, Hatton and the doughty General Lavorla.
