The Passing of an Art

The Detroit News believes that the mimicry
of the old-time clown belongs to the lost arts,
gone forever, supplanted by stiff jointed auto
nations, performing set stunts, depending on
novel tricks and generous stock of stage prop
critics."
Modern clowns, according to the view Of the
News, lack creative ability and artistic finesse.
mo art is found in them, nothing that any chalk
faced biped couldn't do, sans genius, clever
ness, sans humor, sans everything except their
clown suit and trick Instruments
Most of US are too young to speak with au-
thority Of the great artists of the clown world
Grimald Dan Rice, John Loo, Slivers and Pat
terson. "They were masters of the silent panto-
mine, who conquered an audience by individual
effort" says the News. "They were minics,
artistic fellows, with rubber faces and highly
gifted physical equipment
In the old days clowns had the advantage of
small tents which gave them leeway for the full
development of individual artistry and enabled
them to get into intimate touch with their aud
fence. The big tops of today with their tower
ing array Of seats have removed this advantage
forcing the clowns to resort to theatrical stunts
to overcome the handicap. After all, the fault
may not lie with the clown but with the changed
condition under which he is forced to perform.

Locusts Fine Food9

Prof. E. A. Andrews of the zoology depart
ment of Johns Hopkins university has eaten a
mess Of locusts. Fine, is his verdict. "Just
like shrimp. If there were scarcity of other
food, persons who had tasted them would prob
ably think nothing of eating them in large guam
titles. Those of US who have eaten them find
the flavor pleasant.
Hoosers will not dispute the learned profess
sor's judgment, but so long as our fields raise
wheat, and our gardens offer variety of vege-
tables most of us will permit him to enjoy undis-
turbed and in solitary grandeur his portion of
locusts. Nature this year permitted the locust
to creep out of the earth after II years of hiber
nation, but it also evoked from the same soil the
finest wheat crop in our history and other food
stuffs in rich abundance. Our Hoosier appetites
will not crave the locust salad in preference to
cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce; and when they lose
their attraction, we'll stick to lobster and shrimp
salad or go without
We know that John the Baptist ate locusts
and wild honey during his residence along the
banks of the Jordan river, but his fellow Jews
abided by the Mosaic food table despite the ex-
ample Of the great preacher Prof Andrews may
have discovered a new food supply obtainable
every II years in the United States, but, like the
Jews of old, Americans will be satisfied with the
conventional dishes of their forefathers. A year
ago Hoover might have welcomed Professor
Andrews addition to our food sources, and the
American people might have been induced to &C
cept the substitute, but in 1919-well, the victory
gardens are the answer.

When Was Street
System Laid Out
IN Old Richmond

For twenty years after the first set
Element of this district, Richmond
streets furnished al good pasturage
and wandering place for the cows of
the neighborhood, and were not dis
tinguished from their surroundings,
but in 1926 the first step toward the
present splendid street system of the
city was made when cutters were
put in on both sides of the street"
Until that time few loads of tan
bark or gravel laid down roughly be-
tween two rows of curbstone in sew
eral places along the main thorough
fare, were all the streets Richmond
had The curbstones were often only
flat rocks set up on their sides in the
ground, and presented jagged and
uneven appearance.
In general, however, the streets and
sidewalks were one, and consisted of
plain earth packed by the feet of pass
ing citizens and horses. When the
cutters were ploughed, citizens fore.
told the glorious day when the city
might be drained by subterranean
drains.
Later, rough horse racks, built by
the citizens along the fronts of their
stores or houses, began to appear.
These were placed anywhere, in the
street, sidewalk space. or yard, and
presented a ragged, picturesque eff
feet to the person who gazed directly
down Main street
This uneven line of racks soon be-
came nuisance, and the town mar
shall was ordered to cut down all racks
which trespassed upon the street.
Alarmed, citizens quietly replaced
their racks in line, and the street
became heater of appearance.

wonderful voice, and is the most pop

friends another girl in the resort, Myr

ard and bully, treats her abusively.
Sheridan and "Snipe" Roach, min
ing sharpers, salt mine and attempt
to sell it. Charles Taylor, rich New
Yorker, sends George Reed, his min
ing expert, to investigate the propos-
ition. Reed quickly sees through the
fraud, but promises to say nothing if
the profit is split three ways. Helen
hears part of their plan, and knows
that there is something wrong some
where.
Myrtle kills her husband as he tries
to assault her as she lies ill in bed
The shock later kills her, but before
she diess she gives Helen letter and
tells her to use it as an escape from
the life she is leading. The letter is
addressed to Charles Taylor, to whom
Sheridan and Roach are trying to sell
the salted mine. He was an old min
ing partner of Myrtle's father, and in
tended to marry Myrtle when she
came East, although he had never
seen her.
Helen goes to the Taylor home and
is taken for Myrtle. She lets the
situation drift. Romance developes be-
tween her and Taylor and they be-
come engaged. Reed returns with
his glowing reports of the mine. He
recognizes Helen as the dancing girl
and tells Taylor. She confesses and
Taylor tells her she has forfeited his
love. She later saves Taylor from
being swindled and love again comes
into it's own.

Well Known Mystery Story Adapted
To Screen by Universal

Two new motion picture stars take
another upward step into fame, in
"Loot," the new Universal mystery
drama, which appears at the Nogales
Theatre today.
Ora Carew and Darrell Foss are the
featured players in this we'll known
Saturday Evening Post story from the
pen of Arthur Somers Roche.
The commendable work of Miss
Carew in the role of Morn Light
star of New York Follies, won her a
place in the hearts Of the spectators
Miss Carew has the faculty of inject
ing her own personality into every
action on the screen. The dramatic
scenes in which she, as the little COM
edy actress, renounces the king OF
New York's underworld, the notorious
Shadow, to save the man she loves
stamp her as an emotional actress OF
unusual power.
Darrell Foss cleverly handles the
part of Hildreth, the young English
man whose life is endangered because
The Shadow desires to put him out
of the way in order to obtain the fa
nous Arabian jewels. ''
AS is we'll known, the story itsel1
is an exciting mystery drama thai

ARGUMENT IN
FAVOR OF MAR
KET ROADBILI

Oregon has $4,000 miles of public
roads. A greater part of this i'm
mense mileage is used constantly by
, the people OF the state for marketing
their products
The proceeds from the SIT 7,SOO,-
900 of state road bonds provided by
the state, augmented by over six
millions from the National Govern
ment, will only be sufficient to con-
struct the main trunk and post roads.
We all asree that it will be an i'm
mense accomplishment to have a
paved road from the California line
20 Idaho, by way of Portland. 1t
will be a greater accomplishment,
even, to have good roads over which
the farmer may haul his products to
market any season of the year.
This bill provides for a one mill
tax which will raise, approximately
S1,00O,000 annually to be distributed
to the counties by the State Highway
Commission, Multnomah county Will
nay into this fund, approximately
s365.OOO. Under the provisions OF
the bill no county can receive to ex-
ceed ten per cent of the amount an
nually raised, therefore, $265,000 OF
the amount 10 be raised by this bill
in Multnomah county will be for ap-
nortionment in the various counties
of this state that take advantage OF
the provisions of this act.
Any county desiring to take adVan-
tage of the provisions Of this act
must raise an amount equal to the
amount appropriated to the county
by the State Highway Commission
Under the provisions Of the bill NO
county of the state can receive less
than the amount they pay into the
state market road appropriation, ex'
cent Multnomah county, provided the
county takes advantage OF the act
IL will be strong incentive to In
duce every outlaying county to I'M
