Each year situations are arising which are necessary for the banks to go into court and refuse to give information regarding the deposits of their clients. The government agents of the internal revenue department as well as other federal agents seeking information regarding the wealth of bootleggers have struck a snag. Now the government is going to find nut if the courts cannot cnmcl banks to give out information regarding their depositors. For this reason the United States district attorney of California has been been instructed to file a test suit in the California courts. One of the largest banks on the coast will be made a defendant in the suit. Federal agencies said this test rase would determine the legality of the present method of procedure followed by the internal revenue department in seeking information from banks regarding the money held by the banks for individuals or firms and might lead indirectly to the government obtaining valuable information regarding the activities, as far an wealth was concerned, of bootleggerA, if the court held the banks must give the information regarding their depositors accounts. The lawn of the banks of the counregarding try shield tho depositors the giving out of any information concerning depositors of an individual The government found this in the attempt to collect alleged revenue tax from Charles Chaplin, in New York. MAKING STREETS SAFE-ST- OP JAYWALKING Although much has been written about "jaywalking and how "jaywalkers have been injured by automobiles, one would be surprised at the number of jaywalkers that ran be seen on the streets of Ogden almost any day. Particularly in the late afternoon one can observe many cases of the carelessness displayed by pedes-traiin crossing streets at angles or running down the street for a street car. Jaywalking in many cities means arrest because it has been found that where there is an absence of jaywalking there are very few accidents. Standing at the corner of Washington avenue and Twenty-fourt-h street on a recent afternoon between the hours of two and three oclock a number of cases of jaywalking, cutting the corners and disregard of traffic lights were noticed. The carelessness of the jaywalker retards traffic. If the people disregard the traffic lights and "go without a signal with no regard to traffic then accidents will continue, and these accidents will be charged up to the automobile. There is an ordinance on the books of Ogden against jaywalking, and it seems it would be no more than fair to make the jaywalkers pay as the traffic law violator. ns finer traditions of the stage. The lament of the Englishmen is in the proamusing to the Americans screen. Infession of the stage and in America the of stage passing stead is it is coming bark.

London or stage than New York success goes to Europe. In the past it has been found that if a theatrical production proved to be what is railed a failure or "flop in New York it was shelved. The success of dramatic offerings always depended upon what the "Highbrows" critics of New York said. But this condition is changing. The trend of the Empire is westward. Producers and have not worried about getting Father Knickerbockers stamp of approval upon a production. They bring it west. There is no disputing the statement that Isis Angeles is rapidly stepping forward as the second theatrical and amusement origin city of the United Slates and that come near to meaning the world. The great production of "The Mira-l- e opened in Ios Angeles recently .or a four or five weeks' "run. Two months before the opening "the house was sold out completely for three weeks, and now that scats can not be secured for the fifth week it is said. The production requiring 600 people, with an orchestra of sixty musicians gathered from tho musical organizations of the world, is appearing in the Shrine auditorium which stage was remodeled for the production. New York or London theatrical producers have never tried a production of the magnitude of The Mirarlc. Many other number the "Mission Play. The stage mammoth productions have been presented in Los Angeles, among the may be passing in England but not in United States. GREATER PERFECTION IN TALKING MOVIES When the announcement was made of the success of the Vitaphone, termed the world's greatest sensation, the public marveled at this almost greater than human device which presented on the screen a picture synchronized with the words of the actors in the picture. Now eomes the announcement from the laboratories of the General Electric company at Schenectady, New York, of Talking Motion pictures in which the tones of the performers were synchronized perfectly with the action of the silver screen, and which are produced by a new and different process than was demonstrated by officials of the company in one of the theatres ten days ago. . In the reproduction the strains of a great orchestra permeated every inch of the vast auditorium, with the deep low notes of the tubas, bass viol and bassoons easily identified. The low frequency notes were very audible. By means of synchronized motors the incidental music accompanying the first run picture in a theatre in New York was placed upon the picture film in exactly the proper relation. In one place the sound of a blow was timed exactly with the motion on the screen, and in another the crack of a pistol was simultaneous with the burst of smoke from the weapon in the picture. new invention of the talking , The movies with the perfected addition of the music is going to give the thousands of little theatres that only have the piano for music the chance to show a talking picture with the accompaniment of the symphony orchestra. The inventions in perfecting talking motion pictures is in keeping with the wonderful stride in the world of invention of the present day. LONDON PRODUCER SAYS THE THEATRE IS DYING London theatrical circles are greatly worried over the prophesy of Basil Dean, famous theatrical producer, tha; the English theatre is dying, a fact which he attributes to the motion picture. The London dispatch adds that the theatrical authorities generally agree that the English theatre is in a deplorable state, but disagree as to the extent of the movies responsibility. Some attribute the fact partly to the decline in the quality of the act' ing, to the failure of the stage to at tract able men as formerly, and to change from romantic to realistic stage prdouctions. One Englishman advances the thought that people do no love the theatre and arc not interest! in the art of acting. Another pro ducer said that he hopes out of the death of the commercial theatre, subsidized drama, run at picture houses, the-Englis- h -- play-righ- ts CITIES ARE JUDGED BY 10MKS AND STREETS That many visitors to the California town are often impressed with the splendid condition of the streets is a view City Commissioner Harman W. eery brought back to Ogden from a ten day visit to Los Angeles and its environs, lie said that the main arteries of traffic, if made unsightly with old and wornout pavement, poor drainage and traffic movea slow are a detriment to the city. That impression stays with the city's visitor. On he other hand, if the streets are wide and bear the appearance of a boulevard, and traffic moves with a spirit of life to it, the thought of progress and prosperity immediately impresses the visitor. In 1.0R Angeles the commissioner ound that traffic was handled upon the boulevards and tpain arteries of travel through the widening of the This, he said, was true of W ilshire boulevard made 100 feet in width from curb to curb.

LOOK YOUR BEST THE WOMENS SLOGAN During this day of slogans and mottos and special "week events one hears of many. Each day along come slogans. The barbers say to the men, it pays .to look well." Now there is beauty parlor slogan for the women, I.ook Your Best." The Ogden Hairdressers' and Cosmeticians association has been organized. Its campaign will be centered O. in the slogan. Look Your Best be will card that the be will II. C. A., adopted by the membera of the association, and it will be displayed in all shops. The women of the city to are invited to patronize these shops where the heat of sanitary conditions are observed hy the operators, licensed by the state, just the same as the law that applies to the barbers. These ahons must observe the same strict sanitary rules laid down bv the state bureau of registration for barbers. When the house wife purchases food stuffs and meats she looks for the mark of protection and guarantee of the product. Has the meat, ham or bacon she is buying been regularly inspected by the licensed U. S. inspectors thereby insuring the meat to be free from diseases common among cattle? The man goes into a barber shop with the feeling of safety and security because he knows that the state inspectors are watchful over the sanitary conditions in the regulation of the ahop. The woman going to a beauty shop for a facial treatment, hairdressing or any kind of service, should know that she is patronizing a shop where the greatest sanitary rules and regulations are ob served; where she knows the linen is the cleanest, and all tools ind equipment has been thoroughly sterilized, any possible thereby preventing chance of being treated except with the highest quality of equipment and service. The slogan, "Look Your Best," carries a message or suggestion to women. It urges them to give a few minutes thought often to the matter of personal looks. Men make a practice of spending a certain amount each week in the barber shops, because they figure that it always "pays to look well." If such is the case then the women should always "look their NOTICE KOIt PUBLICATION Public Land Sale Department of the Interior, U. S. Land Office at Salt lake City, Utah, January 20, 1927.
