SEEK CHANGE
OF NITROGEN
Chemists Study Gas To Con
vert Element For
Plants
WASHINGTON, July 11.—UPh
Real “high pressure” chemists, using
forces 1,500 times greater than the
15 pounds of air pushing down on
every square inch of the human
body, are studying gases in a search
to convert free nitrogen to com
pounds available for plant growth.
Nitrogen, the most abundant ele
ment in the air, is vital to plant
growth, but unuseable as a free gas.
It must be transformed into salts
or other substances before the roots
can extract the tissue-building
chemicals.
New studies have been under
taken by scientists of the bureau of
chemistry and soils in an effort to
find a simple and cheap commercial
method by which nitrogen could be
“fixed,” or transformed.
Only two methods of importance
now are known for bringing about
fixation. Electrical charges may
be fired through the atmosphere, or
tiny bacteria can accomplish the
change.
Because of the terrific forces of
gases at the pressures used, an en
tirely new basis of engineering de
sign has been required to meet
conditions that never existed be
fore.
Experiments carried on in the
laboratory hrive enabled the devel
opment of high pressure equipment
to carry studies into unexplored
regions. Further, the equipment is
pointing the way to other indus
trial applications in the study of
cracking of oils, synthetic manu
facture of various alcohols, and
other chemical products.
The tremendous pressures are
exerted ip two cylinders, which are
housed in a steel cell of armor
plate to protect the investigators.
Gun forgings, made of special steel
alloys to resist corrosion, form the
stout walls that resist leakage,

ROME
I SIDELIGHTS
RIVOLI. SAN BENITO
London streets under cover of a
midnight fog; gay bazaars and
Hindu hovels of Peshawar; the
scenic splendor of the Persian des
ert; San Francisco’s teeming
Chinatown—these are among the
backgrounds of the romantic mys
tery drama, “Behind That Cur
tain,” a Fox Movietone all talking
production which is scheduled to
come to the Rivoli theater.
The warning of London “bobbies”
to late revelers; the squeal of cam
els on the desert and the barbaric
songs of their drivers around the
campfire; the chatter of < Chinese
playboys in San Francisco’s Orien
tal quarter; East Indian patios in
Peshawar’s streets and the mea
sured, level tones of cultured Eng
lishmen—“Behind That Curtain,”
it is said, brings them all to the
ears of picturegoers.
The story begins in London
where Hilary Galt, a barrister who
makes a specialty of conducting se
cret investigations, has been en
gaged by Sir George Mannering to
inquire into the past of a certain
man.
On the evening which brings his
investigations to a close, Galt is
visited in his offices by John
Beetham,, a part played by Warner
Baxter, an explorer of Far Eastern
regions. Beetham threatens Galt
with serious trouble if the barrister
continues to pry into his affairs.
A few hours later Galt is mur
dered by a mysterious caller who
escapes after placing on the dead
man's feet a pair of curiously em
broidered Chinese slippers.
Beetham is in love with Eve
Mannering (Lois Moran), daugh
ter of Sir George, but she effects
a clandestine marriage with Eric
Durand, the man whose activities
her uncle had Galt investigate, and
goes to India with him.
Sir Frederick Bruce (played by
Gilbert Emery), Scotland Yard man
investigating the Galt murder, fol
lows Beetham's expedition by air
plane when it nears Teheran, tak
ing Eric Durand with him. Eve
hides, escapes their search and flees
from Beetham when they are gone.
A year later, in San Francisco,
whither she has gone, the de
noument comes. A breath-taking
climax unravels the tangled
threads.
Irving Cummings directed the
production.
PALACE, McAL^EN
Audiences who saw “The Man I
Love,” the latest Paramount all
talking picture, at the Palace thea
ter, McAllen, last night where it
opened a three day run, were elec
trified with the fire and verve of
screendom’s most lovable couple,
Richard Arlen and Mary Brian.
They talk, Miss Brian sings and
they act the catchy, adventurous
drama with delightful abandon and
force. A superb cast, including
Baclanova, Harry Green and Jack
Oakie, assist the principals.
It is the first time that the screen
has recorded the voices of Arlen and
Miss Brian and their tonal charm
equals their personalities. They are
delightful. Miss Brian sings the
theme song, “Celia,” with great ef
fect and the incidental sounds and
excitement ase sure-fire. “The Man
I Love” is romance in words, song
and, particularly, action.
The picture tells the story of a
couple of youngsters deeply in love
who go to New York to seek for
tune. Although they are married,
the temptations of the metropolis
lead the boy astray and 'adventure
follows adventure until they come
together again. Baclanova, the bril
liant Moscow Art theater artist,
whose performances in “The Wolf of
Wall Street” and “The Docks of
New York” established her as a
screen actress of note, is seen and
hear4 in the motivating role.
Two comedy men, Harry Green
and Jack Oakie, provide a continual
ripple of laughter and the rest of
the cast fill their parts very well.
“The Man I Love” is a full evening’s
entertainment. It is filled with
youth, life and adventure and Wil
liam A Wellman, the man who made
“Wings,” has earned new honors for
its direction.
Consolidation of
Edinburgh Baptist
Churches Likely
(Special to The Herald)
EDINBURG, July 12.—Members
of the Central Baptist church and
the First Baptist church here may
unite to form one church, according
to the resolution adopted by First
Baptist members at a meeting of
the two bodies Wednesday night.
The Central Baptists deferred action
on the resolution until next Tues
day, due to the absence of members.
By the resolution, Dr. Judd B.
Holt would be elected pastor of the
united churches for the remainder
of the associational year. The dea
cons and trustees of each would be
retained, constituting officers of the
united group. A prayer meeting
would be held at the First Baptist
I church each Wednesday night, with
Sunday services at the same place
under the leadership of Dr. Holt.
