Clark Gabis and Joan Harlow,

screen, are seen together for the sec­
ond time in their careers in “Red
Dust,” sensuous drama of Indo-China,
which heads the program at the Lib­
erty Theatre for three days begin­
ning Sunday.
“Red Dust,” baaed on Wilson Colli­
son’s successful stage play, is a ro­
mantic adventure story laid amid the
rubber plantations of Indo-China. The
screen version was filmed on a pre­
tentious scale with one of the largest
settings ever constructed at the Me-
tro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios.
The plantation setting alone occu­
pied an entire sound stake and con­
tained eight separate rooms built
around a large compound garden.
Porches, mat roofs, and flooring of
rough hewn timber construction were
duplicated from photographs of build­
ings in the little known district which
serves as a locale for the plot
A complete rubber factory was
erected as part of the authentic back­
ground, this setting requiring gallons
of raw rubber sap, imported in sealed
cans from Africa and South America.
The actual process of congealing the
rubber with acetic acid is shown be­
fore the camera.

Law-Abiding
Citizens
(Continued from first page)
after this great event, a group of men
in Rome, the capital of the great Ro­
man Empire, gathered together and
made laws for the protection of their
people and property, and for the set­
tlement of disputes between citizens.
These ten commandments from
Moses and these twelve tables of law
from Rome have been the basis of
laws in European and American na­
tions throughout the ages. Even in
our modern United States, we find
these laws in state and national con­
stitutions.
Certainly, these ancient
traditions must be eternal: “thou
«halt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou
shait not covet" are still suited to our
needs. The laws of Rome and Greece
consisted mainly of rights of citixens
in matter» pertaining to debts, mar­
riages, property, punishments and
others. These, we still find running
through our complete system of gov­
ernment today.
We, as citizens of our own United
States, should abide by those laws, by
thoee which were derived from them,
and by those which were made by our
representatives for our common good.
First, what is a law? Webster de­
fines it thus: “A rule of conduct or ac­
tion which is prescribed or is formally
recognised as binding by the supreme
governing authority, and is enforced
by a sancton.”
To me, there are three main reasons
why we should try to obey these rules
of conduct.
First, we will create liberty, both
for ounselves and for others. Laws
distribute liberty which is freedom to
do that which is worth while. When
we obey a traffic rule, for instance, in
stopping at a stop sign, we are obey­
ing a law which creates liberty for
that car on our right to pass through
the intersection safely. By prohibit­
ing the lighting of fire crackers with-
in the city limts, our government pro-
tecta its citizens from possible death
and Serious burns. The prohibition of
the sale or manufacture of intoxicat­
ing liquors protects the liberty of
men, women and children by feeling
them of disturbing intoxicated persons

times in slaughtering murders. By
law, factories, school buildings, ships,
and an public buildings are inspected
for tHe purpose of eafety for the peo­
ple who work or inhabit these public
places. There are many other ex­
amples of public protections from ac­
cidents.
Third, our government gives us a
fatherland and protection and bene­
fits which merit obedience to its laws.
We should be so grateful that we have
a country to live in and a flag to up-
, hold that we should willingly try to
do all we can in obeying its rules
made for our own good.

I that year by year, crime is increasing.
