Amy Leah Dennis
At Page Theatre

Different roles make different de-
mands upon actors and every new
part is very apt to add not only to
their worries in kfe, but to their ed
ucation as we'll. For instance, if an
actress is cast for the character of
stenographer in play, the conscien-
tious artist will make herself pro-
ficient as typist before the dress re-
hearsal Sometimes the demands
are unique. In the case of Miss Amy
Leah Dennis, now playing the lead
ing role in "Mary's Ankle" the
clever New York hit which A. H.
Woods will present at the Page thea
tire, Medford, on Tuesday, June 4,
considerable expense has been added
to the young lady's incidental ac-
count due to the "exigencies of the
part" One of the greatest demands
made on Miss Dennis ability is the
perilous one of standing on one foot,
like a stork for a considerable per-
iod of time. But that foot doesn't
worry her 1t is the other one-the
one attached to the sprained ankle.
1t is necessary for this foot and
ankle to be exposed for an entire
act, and as Miss Dennis is an artist,
not only to her finger tips but, in
this play, to her toetips, she had add
ed an expert chiropodist to her re-
tinue of servants whose duty it is to
come to the theatre before each per-
formance and makeup that foot as
carefully as the player does her pretty
face.

Housewives Make
Wheatless Breads

The housewives of the city have
been much interested in the demon
stration for making wheatless breads
given by Miss Anne Mccormick III
her home economics classes. During
the past week Miss Mccormick has
given three demonstrations at the
homes Of Mrs. Mary V. Wiltshire, Mrs.
]. r. Wick and Mrs. o. Winter at
which large numbers have been pres
ent to take instructions.
The whoatless regime that is in
effect at present is calling forth all
the efforts of the patriotic women
of Ashland to meet the exigencies of
the case and are endeavoring to make
as palatable as possible the substi-
tutes required in the place Of wheat

on wheatless diet that will last
until next Saturday. During that
period all retail dealers will abstain
from selling wheat flour, in order
to conserve all wheat products for
the forces overseas This follows the
initial movement for placing Oregon
upon a voluntary "wheatless until
harvest" basis, thus relying on the
urgent call of Uncle Sam in his great
task of feeding our army at the front
and the armies and civilian peoples
of the allies, which was taken at
Portland, when county food admin
istrators, assembled from 2S out of
SO counties, unanimously adopted the
following resolution:
Whereas, the wheat situation of
the nation and the allies has be-
come exceedingly acute-so acute
that only by the most drastic cur
tailments in consumption can Ameri-
ca meet the grave duty and military
necessity which confronts her; there
fore. be it
Resolved, that it is the unanimous
conviction of the county food admin
istrators of the state of Oregon and
others attending the food admins
tration conference held in Portland
May 1928, 1918, that Oregon be
placed at once as nearly as may be
upon a voluntary wheatless basis,
this to continue until August, 1918.
And be 1t further
Resolved, that each county admin
istrator shall Immediately take steps
to bring his county to such wheatless
standard; that this resolution shall
not contemplate curtailing consump-
ton of wheat products by heavy man
ual laborers, or others necessarily
dependent upon bakers bread to a
point which will impair their effici-
ency; that bakers should limit their
consumption of wheat flour to 10
per cent of that of the corresponding
period of 1917; that dealers should
sell with each pound of wheat flour
three pounds of substitutes, and
should not purchase nor sell to ex-
ceed 25 per cent Of their last years
purchases of wheat flour without spe-
cial permit; that dealers and COM
munities further be requested to
eliminate wheat flour sale entirely,
and in any case to use their best ef-
forts to confine such sales to a max
imum of one-half pound of wheat
flour per week per person; that steps
be taken at once to induce all deal
ers, homes and hotels to turn back
all supplies of flour on hand beyond
the ultra minimum required within
the spirit of this resolution, except
that where flour on hand is so re-
motely located that its return would
be impractical, permission be given
to retain the same.
The only persons exempted from
the no-wheat ban are bakers, hospi-
tails and logging camps. The reason
for lifting the ban in these instances
is because bakers, under the federal
license, are allowed but so per cent
OF the amount they used at the same
time last year, and since they can use
only this limited quantity, 1t makes
10 difference when it is purchased.
Hospitals and logging camps, on ac-
count of their nature, cannot be de-
prived Of the wheat flour.

have been driven in to depth of
about Is miles.
The Germans continually are
throwing fresh divisions into the bat

troops are keeping up their tactics
of giving ground only when it is i'm
possible longer to hold positions un-
der the tremendous German pres

Heavy casualties are being suf-
fered by the armies of the German
crown prince, while the losses of men
to the allies are described as rela-

In their violent attacks on the 30
mile battle front, running from Sois-
sons eastward to the region north
west of Rheims, the German armies
continue to force back the French

Germans, although the French are
still holding to its western environs,
through which emerge the railway
lines leading to Paris and Cam

London, Nay 29.-The Daily Mail
today publishes from its Toxic cor
respondent an interview with the
Japanese foreign minister, Baron
Shimpei GOto, which is remarkable
for its discussion by question and an
swer of Japan's good faith toward
the allies and of the pro-Germanism
attributed to Baron Goto in some
quarters. The interview in mainly
concerned with the prospects Of Jap
anese Intervention in Siberia.
Baron Goto said the allies had
made no formal proposal to Japan
for such intervention, but that any
suggestions by the allies would re-
ceive sympathic consideration.
Asked what compensation Japan
would demand for Intervention, Bar
on Goto replied that this would de
pend on varying circumstances-size
of the army, the extent of the thea
tres of operations, and the like.
But at the present moment" the
foreign minister said, I'VE are not
thinking of compensation, but only
of everything for the allied cause,
which we have faithfully made our
own"
Concerning the relations of Japan
with the United States, the baron
said that since the steel difficulty
had been settled, Japan no longer
had any cause for complaint.
Questioned concerning the Japan
ese politicians. who, the correspond.
ent ssh. appeared to regret that
Japan Was not allied with Germany
the baron said:
81 do not say there are not such
men among us, but temporary politi.
cal partisanship should not be mis-.
taken for solid convictions. The Brit.
ish people may rest assured that SO
long as the Japanese empire exists
the Japanese people are their good
friends"
