CANTON CAPITAL 0F
 NEW CHINA REPUBLIC
ReVolutionists Also Hope to Gain
 Foreign Recognition

(Correspondence of the Asso Press).
 Canton, April 3o-Revolutionist now believe that Canton probably will be made the capital of the provisional republican government they hope to set up in South China, and every ef- fort will, they declare, be made to gain foreign recognition. Talk of compromise is secuted by the more ardent revOlutionists, who have little regard for General Lung, the mili- tary governor who declared the in- dependence of Kwantung only after great pressure had been brought to bear on him.
 Representatives of the army, navy, police and commercial interests, as well as men representing all sorts of charitable and government organ izations held a meeting recently at which the following resolutions were passed:
 T. The object of Kwantung's de- claration of independence was to compel President Yuan Shi-kai to ab- dicate
 "2. Yunnan, Kweichow, Kwan- tung and Kuangsi are united into one family, whose armies and peoples shall work towards the preservation of all. Henceforth citizen soldiers shall not compel the disarmament of the regular army and navy, nor seize vessels of citizens, nor enter Canton.

ENGLISHMEN ARE A
 BIT ANTICIPATING
Although End Of War Is Not In Sight, They Plan For Big Fair
 At It's Close

(Correspondence of the Asso. Press).
 Winnipeg, Canada, May 25.-The provincial authorities in Canada are receiving notice that a gigantic in dustrial fair will be held in London soon after the end of the war to bol- ster up Great Britains trade, and all business enterprises of importance in the Dominion are being urged to par ticipate.
 Plans for carrying out the idea, which originated in England, have keen placed with body of men to be known as the "Emplre Fair Com mittee." Erection of a huge audi torium, more. than three times the size of the Olympia, London's largest hall, which seats 10,0 900 persons, is one of the steps contem plated by the fair officials
 Several of the British possessions, including Egypt, Australia, New Zea- land and South Africa already have reserved space, acording to tho let ter. It is believed that Canada will join with other countries in making the project a success.

tro wonderplay shown here at the
Alta Theater tomorrow and Wednes-
day.
In this production, Mr.. Steger, who
has long been a favorite on the speak
ing stage and screen, makes his debut
under Metro auspices. He is provid-
ed with an excellent role, that Of a
tender-hearted old man whose love
for his only son is blinded through
his constant devotion to him. 1t is
in such parts as this that Mr.. Steger
excells. Many critics have called him
the David warfield Of the Screen" F."
SO finished is his performance in
these heart-appealing characteriza-
tions. Mr.. Steger occupies a place
that is unique in his profession. He
began his career and continued for
several years as baritone singer Of
much ability. He was in grand opera
and later in musical productions If
the better kind, that thrived on Broad
way few years ago.
After his singing voice failed, Mr..
Steger took up dramatic work, and
in that realm achieved the greatest
success of his career. He is perhaps
best known to theatergOers for his ar
tistic performance in THE Fifth COM
mandment." This first served him as
a starring vehicle in vaudeville, where
he appeared as a headliner for seven
years The draamtic sketch was then
elaborated into play. and Mr.. Stegei
repeated his success or the twO-a-day
Later THE Fifth Commandant' was
made into motion picture produc-
ton. and served to introduce Mr.. Ste
ger to patrons of the screen.
While appearing in The Fifth Com
mandment" in Los Angeles, in vaudo-
Vile, several years ago, Mr.. Steger was
honored with what is probably the
greatest ovation ever accorded any ar
tist on the vaudeville stage. After
taking the curtain calls. the enthusi-
astic audience insisted on Mr.. Steger
and his company, repeating the
sketch. In THE Blindness of Love, y
Metro has provided Mr.. Steger with
similarly strong role, which wins
and holds the sympathy of the spec
tators.

UNIVERSITY LOOKED UPON
AS EXPERT ON FLAT FEET

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu-
gene, April 29.-Slnce the Associated
Press and United Press sent out from
Portland the story Of feet defects re-
vealed through a system of special
photographs taken In the women'e
physical training department at the
university. appeals for help have been
coming to the department from wom-
EN- over all the United States.
To them the department extends
the same free aid that is given the af-
flicted girls of the university: a dag
nosis and list of corrective work with
directions is sent out. Through these
exercises, which take some effort but
not much time, and which involve no
apparatus or other expense. flattened
arches or pronated rect can usually
be restored to nearly normal condi-
tion.
In one of the exercises the patient
is directed to put IS marbles on the
floor, pick them up one by one with
the toes and put them into a dish. This
simple proceeding strengthens the
transverse arch. The transverse arch
of many girls has been broken down
through unscientific footwear. Pain,
quick firing and inconvenience in
walking follow.
More western newspapers have com
taned editorials upon the condition OF
the feet of the University of oregon
girls than upon any University topic
since referendum days.
Examinations of the feet are to be
included in the physical examinations
of girls entering the university here
after.
I'm spite of the agitation over our
findings, We have much better per-
cenage of good feet here than is found
in the middle west" said Miss Mabr'
Louise Cummings, director of the de.
partment.
