URGES PARKS ALONG
HIGHWAYS OF STATE
SAVIDGE TO ASK AUTHORITY
FROM LEGISLATURE TO
PROMOTE PLAN,

Commissioner Clark v. Savidge of
the state land department will urge
the coming legislature to grant him
authority to reserve state lands along
public highways for park purposes.
He would limit these parks to five
acres in area and lay them out with
an eye chiefly to preserving the best
types of big fir trees for which the
Puget Sound region is noted, but
which are rapidly becoming scarce
except in more remote sections where
they are rarely seen by tourists.
Commissioner Savidge also believes
the highway parks would aid greatly
to the convenience and delight of au-
tomobile touring parties as favored
spots for rest and luncheon.
To fit in with the plan the state
ownes several tracts of land, the COM
missioner states, along Hood Canal.
which would be admirably adapted to
scenic purposes and for camping
sites. He enumerates Section SO,
Township 23 north, Range 4 west,
which touches the canal and is sit

CHICKENS RATHER
 RIDE THAN WALK

No. not the kind you mean, but chickens, foul, poultry, anything you call 'em. Well, the familiar adage that chickens come home to roost'' had striking exemplifIcation in the case of George Melford the other ev- ening at Hollywood and we take his word for it. Here goes:
 "One night last week" said MT. Melford in relating the story, q found myself out of cigarettes. It happened that l had a script to work on and the presence of Muady Nicotine was decidedly essential to my work I went out to my garage, which is quite a distance from the house. and, turning the lights, I drove out toward the corner drug store.
 ''As l arrived there the druggist, who happened to be standing in the doorway, began to laugh immoderate- ly.
 Well. well, Mir. Melford," ," he said. ''I see you carry your chickens with you. l don't know but what that would be a good idea to suggest to some of the fanciers I know.
 ' What do you mean?" I asked
 Look at your bumper he said
 "I alighted from the machine and going around to the front of the car found that six large and choice Ply mouth Rock hens had roasted com fOrtably on the bumper and despite the lights and fJarring of the ma chine, had not even awakened. I carefully removed the fowl, placed them in the car and purchasing my cigarettes, drove home, where I ten derly replaced the chickens on their perch, know no one will believe the story, but its a solemn fact
 Inasmuch as the veracity of Uncle George has never been questioned and he has always stood as a model Of truthfulness in the film community, it may be accepted that his story is absolutely true.

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

There was birthday cake, gifts, flowers and everything that goes to make up a birthday party last week at the dinner party Norma Talmadge gave for her sister Constance.
 Not d hint of the party leaked out, and the guest of honor was so over come when she saw the table with twenty covers she had to ask for smelling salts.
 Natalie and Constance Talmadge arrived in town only yesterday and last nights entertainment was in the nature of a welcome home and birth day party. It was such a gala ocCa- sion Constance almost forgot herself and admitted her age, which would have been a sad faux pas. She puts down one set of figures describing thte number of years she has spent on earth and her press agent sup plies another one. Just in order to keep in with both Miss Talmadge and her press agent, we can't say how many candles were glimpsed on the cake.
 About that party-after dinner Miss Talmadge took all her guests 10 the theatre to see "The Jest From the Barrymore entertainment they went to the Amsterdam Roof to see the Midnight Frolic.' Two ta- bles were engaged, and a merry time was had by every one, including the guest of honor.
 The guests at the party were Nor ma, Constance and Natalie TaImadge, Mrs. Peg Talmadge, Ethel Grey Ter ", Beulah Livingston, Anita. Loos, NTerceita Esmonde, Lieut.. Von Hoff- man, John Emerson, Joseph Schenck, Alfred Neuman, Irving Berlin.

COMPANY HAS NARROW
 ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Bessie Love, her director, David Smith and their company while re- turning to Hollywood recently from the northern part of the State after completing "A Yankee Princess" had a narrow escape from death. A land slide occurred q few inmates before the train on which they were Beturr- ing reached a dangerous point in the road. Twenty feet of earth and great bOulders were piled up on the track for a distance of nearly a quarter of a mile and had the trip been made at night or had the landslide occur red while the train was on that par ticuIar section of the road the entire company would have met disaster.
 A humorous incident helped Miss Love over the annoyance of the three hours delay when the train newsbOy gravely informed her that in her honor he would treat everybody on the train to sandwiches and coffee and then added that if she would pur- chase a package of figs from him he would arrange for a special train to meet her Of course the newsboy had inside information and Miss Love, catching the spirit of fun in the graveIy spoken statement, bought the figs.
 Lo! and behodI, shortly after the train came to a stop the sandwiches and coffee were passed around and train sent out to the relief of the party came to the other side of the slide and took Miss Love and her company into Sacramento.
 An influential newsboy," remark ed Director David Smith.
 This is the power of the press, :" said Miss Love.

BACK FROM THE
 GLITTERING SANDS

Madge Kennedy has returned to the Goldwyn studios at Culver City, Cal, from the Mojave Desert, where the star and her associates completed the final scenes of Leave It To Susan.'
 Unlike anything she has attempted on the screen before, Miss kennedy's role in Leave It To Susan" by Rex Taylor, is certain to prove a surprise to her admirers. The locale of the new Goldwyn picture finds her far removed from the homes of society. It is in the midst of the Mojave's wastes that Madge Kennedy makes merriest.
 She is seen as the daughter of an Eastern capitalist, who, with his family, journeys West on business of a mysterious nature. An amusing ac- cident, in which, of course, Susan creates most of the amusement, leaves her on the desert when the train re- sumes it's trip after an interruption Her only companion is Montmorency, her dog, and it's all because Monty spied a rabbit and gave chase, In which Susan had to join, that she finds herself in desperate straits. It is while seeking habitation that Su- san meets with strange and perilous adventures.
 As her leading man Miss Kennedy has Wallace Macdonald, whose reap pearance on the screen since his re- turn from the battIegrounds of France was as screen vis-a-vfs to Mae Marsh in her new Goldwyn picture Spotlight Sadie" Others in the cast are Alfred HoIing gsworth, George Kunkel, Anna, Hernandez and Walter Hiers.

A better plan is to employ mild, gentle laxative of which only little is required. There is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. CaldweIPs Syrup Pepsin that thousands of mothers have used successfully for baby's constipation and its accompany ing ills, such as betching, wind collie, rest lessness, sleeplessness, etc.
 The nursing mother will also find it ideal for herself, and it is especially important that she be free from constipation.
 Syrup PePsin is guaranteed to do as prom ised or the druggist will refund the money. Thousands of cautious families have it in the house, secure against the little ills.

When the Baby Needs @ LqxQfiue---

No one knows better than the ever-vatchft1I mothcr-the natural doctor of the family in all tine small ills-that when the baby is out of sorts it is usually due to indigestion or constipation.
 It is always well, in any of its illnesses, to look for this cause. The diet may have to be changed, but before good can result from it, the bowels must be moved.
 The mother has the choice of many rnedi- cines-cathartics, purgatives, bitteT-waters, pills, physics. etc. But the little body doesn't need such harsh remedies for they wrench the system and do only temporary good, so often followed by an unpleasant reaction.
