Obituary..

D. E. Fowler was born at Athens,
Maine, February 27, 1886. His boy
hood days were spent upon farm.
In 1855, at the age of nineteen years,
he went to California, making the
trip via the Isthmus of Panama. AT
ter years work in the mines he
returned for a short time to his ma
tive state.
In the spring of 1857 he went to
Kansas, at that time a thinly settled
territory, and engaged in farming.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he
enlisted with company G, seventh
Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, and
served little over three years At
ter receiving his discharge he re-
turned to Kansas, where he farmed
until his years compelled him to re-
tire. In the summer of 1914 he
moved to Eugene, Ore, and later to
Ashland.
His wife and four children, two
sons and two daughters, survive him.

Many Did Not
Understand It

Many signers of the single tax
measure mistook it for rural credits.
That what is apparently vast ma
iority of the persons who signed the
petitions which put the single tax
bill on the ballot did so under the
impression that they were forward
ing the interests of the state rural
credits bill is one of the surprising
things disclosed by the investigation
now being carried on by the Portland
Realty Board.
"If my name is on that petition l
certainly signed under misappre-
hension of what the petition was
for" is the most common form of
written reply being made by the sign
ers of the petition.
While only a small part of the list
has been reached thus far, the per-
centage of persons who declare they
did not sign any petition at all is
surprisingly large. An almost neg
ligible proportion say they knew
what they were signing.
A large percentage emphatically
declare they are opposed to sucf
revolutionary measures and that they
are doing all within their power tC
defeat the measure.
The single tax bill is the first
measure on the ballot under the
heading Proposed by Initiative Pc
tition." It's title on the ballot is the
Full Rental Value Land Tax an(
Homemakers' Loan Fund Amend
ment" to the state constitution. The
voting numbers are 906 yes, and 9Oi
no. 1t is framed to force all lane
of every class out of the present own
ers' hands and into state ownership
The state rural credits bill is
totally different measure. 1t is thu
seventh of the initiative measures.

Washington and
Oregon Play Tie

The University of Oregon held the
University of Washington football
team to a 0 to 0 tie at Eugene Satur-
day. in a game played in a sea of mud
and heavy rain and which was de-
scribed as "thrilless." Both teams
resorted to a punting game, often
punting on first down, and the ball
seesawed up and down the middle Of
the field with neither team getting
near enough to be dangerous. Bill
Holmes, Irving Vining, Heine Heiden-
reich and couple of other local fans
attended the game.
Other scores of interest were: O..
A. c. 29, Whitman 0; University of
California 81, University of Southern

Rock Falls Ahead
Of Train in Tunnel

Fifteen hundred cubic yards OF
rock, loosened from the roof of tun-
mel No. 8, near the north entrance,
descended upon the pilot of the en-
gine of passenger train No. 13 yes
terday morning and caused smash
which tied up traffic until this morn
ing. Oddly enough, no injuries re-
suited, although the engine was
thrown from the track inside the tun-
mel entrance and the shock jolted the
passengers considerably. The pas
sengers were transferred around the
tunnel and brought through on a
stub train. No. II was cancelled and
No. 13, the first train through, ar
rived at 1880 this morning. Owing
to the fact that the engine was de-
rallied inside the tunnel, it was diff
ficult job to get it out, there being
no way of using the hoist.

Movie Matters
lip Movements On the Screen

lip Movements On the Screen.
There is a point in screen tech
nique that may have nothing to do
with selling film but that ought to
interest everyone who has any wider
curiosity about the art.
The question is: How much lip
movement is 1t advisable to put on
the screen?
The effort of producers today is
all toward a scrupulous realism in
everything. They want to make
their screen stories look like bits of
real life. They want the illusion of
actuality to be complete. But to do
this is not necessarily to play scenes
exactly as they would be enacted in
life. Screen art is interpretative,
just as is stage art. Actors do not
act on the stage as they would in
life. That would often utterly falls
ify the scene. They artificialize
speech and business so that it will
seem real.
Now in real life or on the stage
the characters might be in continual
conversation, but on the screen the
constant moving of the lips in speech,
with no co-ordinated sounds and only
a few of the more important speech
es used in titles, has a different eff
feet. Besides being irritating and
talking our attention from the more
expressive pantomimic action, it Of
ten looks convincingly unreal.
So the effort of progressive pro-
ducers is to tell as much of the story
as possible by action, using lip move
ments only when it seems essential.
And some radicals claim that it is
almost never essential The present
custom is to show the character
speaking Just before his speech is
flashed on the screen as title; then
to flash back to him still moving the
lips If no important action takes
place in this interval only the begin
ming and end of the speech may be
shown in delivery
1t may easily be that the produc-
ers will go still further than this.
BY degrees the technique is likely
to evolve toward less and less lip
movement, so that the making of a
speech may be merely implied by
other action before and after Thus
will be created step by step special
screen pantomime that will have the
full realistic effect and yet will clar-
ify, simplify and accentuate the tell
ing of a picture story. And the spec
tator, thus educated step by step,
will find the new method more con-
vincingly real than the realism of
actuality.

Ashland Adds
Another Victory

In a game OF football which had
even the recent Ashland-Klamath
game in this city outclassed in every
department, the Ashland high school
football team defeated the klamath
boys by score of Z to at klamath
Falls last Friday The klamath team
displayed a punch and speed which
they failed to show in any of their
games in this valley, and at critical
times fought like demons. The game
was replete with sensational plays,
but was absolutely free from any
semblance of rough work or crab
bing." In one respect the game was
altogether unique and no doubt es-
tablished a record for western foot
ball in that not single penalty was
called. There was but one tumble,
few injuries and those minor, one
substitution, and at the same time
some of the most terrific tackling
ever seen in a high school game in
southern Oregon.
Ashland went into the game with
high hopes of running up a big score,
and were abruptly awakened when in
the first few minutes klamath nego-
tiated a successful forward pass, Fos-
ter grabbing the ball from the air in
front of Whine. That worthy missed
the tackle, as did also Lowe and Har-
rell and when the Ashlanders came
to the Klamath crowd was wild with
Joy over a touchdown. An easy goal
was missed.
The Ashlanders pulled themselves
together and from the first quarter
on Klamath had the ball but occa-
sionally and made but three or four
first downs. Ashland marched down
the field with a succession of passes,
bucks and end runs to the three-yard
line, where klamath held to the
chant of Hold 'em, klamath" from
the well-organized roofing section.
Klamath punted well out of danger
and Ashland returned the ball to the
ten-yard line when the half ended.
Ashland again took up the relentless
march in the third quarter and
scored, Lowe kicking goal and put
ting the valleyites ahead. Again in
the fourth quarter the ball was
forced we'll down toward the Klam-
ath goal. but time was called before
it went over.
Ashland lined up with Young at
center, Spears and Tinker guards,
Furry and Jones tackles, Buck and
Leavitt ends, Harrell, Lowe, Whine
and Bentley backs.
In addition to the above, Barrett,
Long, Bryant, Captain Cunningham,
Prof G. NJ. Ruch and Referee Mowat
went over with the squad Leith
Abbott and Johnny Finneran arrived
too late for the game owing to late
arrival of necessary passes.
The boys are greatly pleased with
the treatment received in the Klam-
ath city and can not say too much
for the sportsmanship and hospitality
displayed. The athletic relations be-
, tween Ashland and klamath have al
ways been of the best, and this year
, the kind of feeling exists which has
always been the aim Of those devoted
to clean rivalry in athletics.
Coming home by auto the boys ran
into a blizzard on Green Springs
mountain, and between snow, rair
, and slippery roads had an exciting
trip.
