rapidly in the cities than in the
country. This applies to the imme-
diate human environment in the
country as we'll as to all habits of
life affecting health. The farm house
is, on the average. less sanitary than
the city home. The rural school is
relatively the least healthful type of
building in the entire country. The
diet of the people in the country is
less hygienic, on the whole, than the
food of city dwellers. In general,
the standards of human living in the
cities, in relation to health, at least,
are superior to those in rural
American.
The religious life and faith of
the people are today weakening, or.
at least, changing rapidly in the
country as we'll as in the cities. In
cities, however, the idea and habit
Of social service are providing a
partial substitute for the religious
life of the past.

ambitions of his grandfather"
At this point in DR. Woods remarks

gram uttered at judicial dinner in
New York recently. In former
times we spoke of a struggling
lawyer who grew up and became a
great judge. but today we speak of
struggling judge who grows up
and becomes a great lawyer" If
the farmers son dreams no longer
of winning distinction at the bar it
may be because the law has lost its
personality, if not its soul, and be-
come merely part of the great ma
chinery of corporations.
Il cannot deny that there has
been softening of American FIBRE"
DR. Wood concluded earnestly. This
is the inevitable result of years of
peace, of financial prosperity which
has made the individual struggle for
existence less severe. | believe that
this softenine would disappear in
the stress of war, if war must come.
Who speaks Of the decadance of

Mr.. Hamilton, the division manager

How Miss Barrymore
Decided To Wear Short
Skirts, for First Time

How Ethel Barrymore, Metro star,
consented to wear short skirts for the
first time in her career by appearing
as an Alaskan dancehall girl inN" The
White Raven,o the magnificent Metro
production which will be shown at the
Oregon Theatre, Monday and Tuesday,
forms an interesting story.
When the original story was recited
to Miss Barrymore by Maxwell Karger,
general manager of the Rolft and Col
umbia studios, and discussed by Direc-
tor George D. Baker, it met with Miss
Barrymore s approval The strength
of the story and its fine dramatic pos
sibilitics were instantly recognized by
the star.
Several of the preliminary scenes
had been made, when Mr.. Baker began
preparations for the biggest, involving
a duplication of one of the most fam
Gus dance halls or "honkatonks" in
the Klondike. His assistant, Charles
Hunt, had obtained access to a valu
able collection of photographs made
in the Klondike at the time of the
gold rush A picture of a dance-hall
character, showing her in knee-length
skirts and other gaudy attire, was
handed to Miss Barrymore with the re-
quest that she have her eostumer dupli-
cate the one shown on the dance hall
habitue. Miss Barrymore gasped.
But Mr.. Baker, have never ap-
peared in short skirts on the stage in
my life. 1 have refused to play roles
that required them, she said.
"Miss Barrymore, replied Baker,
al would not ask anything but what
would add to the dramatic values of
the piece and to the strength Of the
role you play. / am sure you will al
ways work for supreme results in your
photoplays." :,
"Of course I will," smilingly re-
turned the star. 81 will 60 to the

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce

that it is too hard, too troublesome
and too dangerous to force the weight
down. However, in Marmola Prescrip-

overcome. They are absolutely harm
less, entail no dieting or exercise and
ness. A large case is sold by druggists
at T5c. Or if preferable, they can be
obtained by sending price direct to the

you have no excuse for being too fat,
but can reduce two, three or four
pounds week without fear of bad

Proposed Art Movement
AwakenS Art Lovers

Much interest has been aroused by
the publication in The journal of the
proposition to form an art association
in Salem for the purpose of bringing to
the city exhibits of high class works
of art, and also to establish a public
art room where people interested in
this work can go and see good pictures
and read good magazines connected
with art and allied subjects.
Since the publication of the story in
the journal, Mrs. Rollin K. Page, a
member of the library board, has con.
ferred with Mrs. Monroe Gilbert CON
cerning the use of the city library aud
itorium as an art room. Mrs. Page de-
clared she would do all she could to
further the project as it was for Just
such community interests that the L..
brary building is to be used. Mrs. Gil
bert is scheduled to look over the aud
itorium this afternoon to see just what
can be done to place it in shape as
place to house an art exhibit.
With the keen interest displayed by
the lovers of art in Salem, it is prac-
tically certain that within a short time
an art association will be formed. AL
though it is recognized that the at
tention of the people is much distract
ed by the great world crisis through
which the country is going, still it is
thought best that beginning should
be made.
