TRIPLE-ENTRY BOOKKEEPING
A new Yorker was examining an
applicant for a job of bookkeeping.
"Of course, you understand double-
entry?" he said.
"Sure," said the applicant. "The
last place I had I kept the books triple
entry—one set for the boss, showing
the real profits; a second set for the
shareholders, showing no profits; and
a third set for the income tax people,
showing a loss."

PARAMOUNT PICTURE DUE FOR

NEXT WED. & THURS.
S. J. R. No. 26
PROPOSING A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT TO BE VOTED
ON NOVEMBER 8, 1932
Two 'wise eggs' who were too wise—
That in brief, is the story of "Lady
and Gent," George Bancroft's latest
starring picture which opens at the
Queen Theatre, next Wednesday.
Petite Wynne Gibson, latest Holly-
wood "find," who is soaring to stardom
in her own right, plays opposite the j
virile Mr. Bancroft, and Charles Star-
rett, James Gleason, John Wynne and [
Joyce Compton have other leading
roles.
Bancroft and Miss Gibson are cast
as a couple of self-styled "big timers"
who dwell on the shady side of Broad-
way, battling merrily with each other
and with any one else who crosses
their path.
The uneven tenor of their lives be-
comes even more uneven when Ban-
croft's best friend suddenly dies, leav-
ing a 12-year-old son alone in tho
world. Just what their responsibili-
ties to the lad are they sit down to
consider.
And they reach a conclusion that
produces results as whimsical as they
are radical.
"Lady and Gent" was written es-
pecially for Bancroft by Grover Jones
and William Slavens McNutt. Stephen
Roberts directed.
Morgan Wallace, James Crane, Wil-
liam Halligan, Billy Butts, Frank Mc-
Glynn Sr., Charles Grapewin and
Frederick Wallace appear in minor
roles.
THAT'S A REAL TIRE
cut oday with tire prices as low as they are attd mileage as high as it is, you really
III can't afford to buy anything but the best. I'll stand back of Fisk Tires and I'll
declare right now that you'll find them the best anti-skid and most comfortable riding
tires you ever used. See that deep non-skid tread design and the flexible side wall.
That's what's going to convince you, too, that Fisks are real tires."

ject to appropriation by the Legisla-

lishment of the University of Texas,

uary 11, 1858, entitled, 'An Act to

THE FINAL CEREMONY
Hubby: "My dear, why don't you
ask me for advice on the matter "
Wifey: "I intend-to just as soon as
I decide what I am going to do."
Rastus' lawyer was informing him
on the legal status of his matrimonial
relationship and his chances for a
divoi'ce.
"Mistuh Johnson, I has discovered
I can get you a divorce on the ground
that yo' marriage ain't legal on ac-
count of her father he had no license
to carry a gun."
When the young husband reached
home from the office he found his
wife in tears.
"Oh, John," she sobbed on his shoul-
der. "I had baked a lovely cake and I
put it out on the back porch for the
frosting to dry, and the dog ate it."
"Well, don't cry about it, sweet-
heart," he consoled. "I know a man
who will give us another dog."
The screen's greatest thrill is here.
The world sat in amazement before
j "A 11 Quiet on the Western Front."
It was the most enthralling, most re-
j markable, most gripping picture of its
! year. It won every motion picture
I decoration and honor that a highly
| competitive industry could offer. It
was unusual, it was authentic, it was
J real!
The world has waited two years for
another thrill like "All Quiet." It has
not waited in vain. "In "The Doomed
Battalion," which will show at the
Queen Theatre Sunday and Monday, a
motion picture public jaded with sex,
sophistication and gangstqrs is prom-
ised the opportunity to see again raw,
quivering humanity laid bare in the
awesome turmoil of battle. "The
Doomed Battalion" is an authentic
chapter of the Great War, never be-
fore told, never before attempted. It
is the first picturization of the titanic
struggle on the Italian front where
success meant the capture after a year
of super-human effort of one moun-
tain peak. Where on the western
front, the front line moved back and
forth over fifty and a hundred miles
of territory, No Man's Land on the
Italian front moved scarcely a mile.
The Doomed Battalion" is a chap-
ter from the life of a unique battle
organization. It was conceived by the
Austrian command and placed in
charge of Luis Trenker, then a well-
known mountain guide, now one of
Germany's most popular moving pic-
ture stars. It consisted of sportsmen
and mountain climbers. Trenker him-
self wrote the story and, while the pic-
ture was photographed in Universal
City, the actual war scenes were filmed
on Mount I.agazoi, between northern
Italy and the Austrian Tyrol. In the
picture it is called Collalto.
Trenker was born within two hours'
ride of this mountain and on it was
fought one of the most bitter and long-
drawn-out engagements of the entire
world war. Its culminating scene is
a terrific dynamite blast in which the
entire top of the mountain is blown
off. The blast was set off for the pur-
pose of destroying the heroic garrison
which had held out for so long against
every attack launched by the Italians.
Against this tremendous military
background is thrown a pulsating hu-
man drama of love, honor and patriot-
ism entrusted to Luis Trinker, Tala
Birell and Victor Varconi in a re-
markable love triangle.
"The Doomed Battalion" was direct-
ed by Cyril Gardner, and was photo-
graphed by Charles Stumar and Sepp
Allgeier. The scenes on Collalto alone
took four months and are undoubtedly
the most difficult and spectacular
scenes to photograph that have ever
been brought to the talking screen. In
sheer photographic terror, these scenes
rival "All Quiet." In unusual atmos-
phere and photographic personality,
they rival "Shanghai Express." In
majestic beauty and grandeur, they ri-
val "Tabu." The Doomed Baltalion"
is a soul-searching and eye-filling mo-
tion picture production.

"No, I'm satisfied with Mamie."
It took 1,040 beatings to send Mrs.

TIME TO DUCK
"Hasn't that fellow written a book?"
"Yes, and if you aren't careful he'll
give you a copy."
Doctor: "Young lady. I'll have you
understand my word is law."
Patient: "Well, here's where I make
a few amendments."
Superintendent (at penitentiary):
"It is our practice to let a prisoner
work at the same trade in here as he
did outside. Now what is your trade?"
Prisoner: "I was a traveling sales-
man."
Kelly and Cohen were having din-
ner togehter. Cohen helped himself
to the larger fish and Kelly said:
"Fine manners you have, Cohen. If
I had reached out first I'd have taken
the smaller fish."
"Veil," Cohen replied, "you got it,
didn't you?"
SHYNESS MUTUAL
A cei'tain firm had the following
legend printed on its salary receipt
forms:
"Your salary is your personal busi-
ness, and should not be disclosed to
anyone."
The new employee, in signing the
receipt added: "I won't mention it to
anybody. I'm just as much ashamed
of it as you are."
Fort Worth, Aug. 2.- Sounding the
note of battle, Governor Ross Sterling
was cheered by more than 1000 lead-
ing citizens from all sections of Texas
when he declared at the good govern-
ment rally here Monday afternoon,
"I will -tart out Tuesday and cover
this state as it has never been covered
before."
The women will be in the forefront
in this fight, as they always are when
the good name and the integrity of
Texas are at stake .Sterling declared.
"This is yo.ur battle; it's the battle
of the people of Texas for good gov-
ernment."
The brief address of the governor
was the climax of a day of oratory
lauding the Sterling administration as
unsurpassed in the history of the state
and condemning Fergusonism with its
proxy government and its impeach-
ment record.
The governor will undertake a stren-
uous speaking campaign appearing at
Brownwood Tuesday night, at Cle-
burne Wednesday. In Ennis Thursday
night, in Mexia Friday night and in
Georgetown Saturday night. The gov-
ernor will speak at intermediate points
enroute to and from the key towns.
Plans were made to carry the fight
into the smallest towns and rural com-
munities, "a schoolhouse campaign,"
was the way Dan Moody phrased it.
Drawing the "deadly parallel,"
Moody said "compare the Sterling tax-
ation record with that of Ferguson and
you need moke no apology. Place the
penitentiary management record of
Sterling beside that of Ferguson and
it will be found that Sterling's is far
superior.
"I have no patience with nor sym-
pathy for Mrs. Ferguson, and I say
this as a Southern gentleman," Sena-
tor Walter Woodward of Coleman de-
clared.
The 11 counties in which he was
manager of the Tom Hunter campaign
for governor will be won for Sterling,
J. T. Lightfoot of Comanche predicted.
Ferguson promised to cut expenses
in half in 1924, but did not carry out
his pledge and now he is making the
same old promises, former Congress-
man Oscar Callaway of Comanche said.
Dr. J. D. Sandefer of Abilene, presi-
dent of Simmons university and a
native of Arkansas, was in Europe
when the Fergusons entered the run-
off two years ago, and to avoid the
gibes, he told acquaintances he was
from Arkansas, th" educator related.
