' The chief tear of these men Is that; before release many will look upon their production as a travel picture. They Insist that it la straight drama, with suspense, comedy, continuity and tempo. It has a story, too. Natural drama." Mr. Cooper explains, "is drama produced with natural actors in their own en vironment, living the story of their tires and their struggle for exist ence. "This new jungle picture is the story of a people surrounded by an abundance of food. There ts so much food ' that a super abundance of creatures live on It and on each other. There is the constant menace that this teeming vegetable and animal life wilt overwhelm the humans struggling against it. On this we built our story. "We chose an attractive family living in the edge of the Jungle tof our central characters. Their sta ple rood is rice, they build their bamboo houses on poles to protect themselves from jungle animals, they keep domestic animals and chickens. They are constantly faced with the problem of protect ing themselves against the depre dations of beasts tigers, leopards. bears, snakes, elephants. The ele phants become their best friends and sources of wealth when train ed, but in wild herds they, are to be feared. "In photographing the lives of these people we always kept the dramatic values in mind. The story develops, shows the' waver ing between hope and fear and the final triumph over a herd of more than four hundred wild elephants. "We wanted it to stand by itself as a piece of dramatic entertain ment. The fact that, in addition to this, it has scenes of great scenic beauty, shows the people untouched by civilization and that there are thrills and laughs in it, leads me to hope that we have ac complished something new in the field of picture production."

Wash., Ang. 24. (Speeial.) Lazy husbands aren't nearly so lasy in Spokane since the Spokane air port was awarded the seventh annual national, air races, and designated as the ter- - - minus for the National Air Derby race from New York, and the Pa cific coast Air Derby race from San Francisco. "Lazy husbands! What are they good for nothing." This is undoubtedly what the wives of lazy ' husbands think about their men, but Major John T. Fancher, managing director of the National Air Derby association of Spokane, is a little inclined to disagree. It's not that Major Fancher is a friend of the lazy husbands that makes him lean their way, bnt be cause of the work they have done In removing tons and tons' of "nig ger head" rocks from the mile and a half by a half mile wide landing field, where the national air races will be flown. Sheriff Floyd Brower of Spo kane county has a rule that all lazy husband prisoners must work, and at the request of Major Fan cher he agreed that the lazy Iius banders should prepare the Spo kane air port for the races. Each morning for the last three months a large truck has backed up to the jail door, taken the prisoners eight miles to the air port, where, rain or shine, they "heaved to" on picks, shovels and crow-bars for eight hours a day. Armed guards stand over them all day. "Regardless of what they are, they have certainly made the Spo kane air port one of the most per fect landing fields in the country," said Major Fancher, who landed on fields in Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, D. C, and Detroit on his recent flight1 to New York. In smoothness and speed the Spokane air port will compare fa vorably with a large dance floor at the time of the national air races. Since the removal of the rock by the lazy husband prisoners large drags and scrapers have worked the field both directions, making it perfectly level. A large steam roller Is now rolling the field, which Is expected to be almost en tirely covered with wild grass at the time of the races. "We have made arrangements with the city officials whereby we are to secure 3000 feet of fire hose for the purpose, of flooding the field," said Major Fancher. VThis flooding will bring up the wild grass, and give us absolute assur ance against any dust during the races." It is also being proposed to se cure the services of all city sprink ler wagons at the close of each day's program for tire purpose of sprinkling the field all night for the next day's program. "If we had been forced to pay J ior ine removal oi un iut c moved by the prisoners, we would have been dead broke for the rest of our lives," said Major Fancher, who believes the prisoners are en titled to see part of the aviation program for nothing because of the work they have done. Newark bicycle race and "Phila delphia wrestling match postpon ed the same night because of rain. And some say there is no such thing as Providence.
