"There is nothing inherently vicious

turer, automatically. "There are good
pictures and bad ones, just as there are
good plays and bad ones. 1 enjoy the

"Is the English theater better than
ours?"
To this the good-natufed victim re-
piled that he never went to the theater
and he really couldn't say.
He stated that in his opinion it was
useless for people to rail about the poor
quality of the modern theater, for if
they really wanted something better
they could get it. The modern theater
was extraordinarily alive. he said, and
that was a good omen for the future,
as out Of the smashing Of old conven-
tions and stirring up new material
much of the permanent artistic value
is sure to develop in time.

Levitzki at Carnegie Hall
Pianist Pleases Audience oi
Young People

Mischa Levitzki played Schumann's
piano Concerto in A minor yesterday
afternoon at the Symphony Society's
concert for young people In Carnegie
Hall. His tone was mellower than ever
before, and his playing did not merely
glitter with the superficial -brilliance
Of prodigious technique sustained by
youthful vitality, but it had genuine
interpretative eloquence.
The young people. present in large
numbers, showed more outward re-
sponsiveness to the performance Of Mr..
Levitzki, an artist not so far beyond
them in years, than to the beauties Of
Mozart's Jupiter" Symphony, which
were pointed out by Mr. Damrosch and
later more fully revealed by the or
chestra. When they are older they
probably will attach more Importance
to music and less to personalities. The
other numbers on the program were
the overture to Weber's "Freischutz'
and the Intermezzo and Perpetuum Mo-
bile from Moszkowski's Suite, Op. 80.

"Has the motion picture ruined the

"The motion picture has not affected

LINES
WEATHERED STORM

The Belleview Telephone COM
pany met at the school house for
their annual meeting with large
number of the members present.
The report Of the secretary
showed that the company's service
for 1919 had been especially efficient
at a very small cost. During the
snow storm, which wrecked many
lines, all of the three lines owned by
the company were kept open with
the exception of few days on one
line, where broken wires of the Bell
company caused the trouble.
The members decided on a policy
of improvement for the next few
years, each year working on GER
tain portion of their IDies.
The assessment per phone for 1920
was fixed at $3.50. This will be suf-
ficient to equip the first one-fourth
mile Of line with substantial poles
and cross arms.
The cost of service 10 the members
for 1920 will amount to between
seven and eight dollars.

JACKSON COUNTY
WOMAN HONORED

The democratic national committee
meeting at Washingtor. ID. c., at the
suggestion of DR.. J. w. Morrow, ma
tional committeeman for Oregon, ap-
pointed Mrs. c. l.. Schieffelin OF
Medford associate national commit
teeman in charge of the organization
of the ladies' part of the democratic
party in Oregon. She succeeds Mrs
Alex Thompson of Portland.
This is an important position and
Jackson county was recognized in
this appointment by DR.. Morrow, who
is great admirer of the Rogue Riv-
er valley spirit. As Jackson county
was the banner Wilson county in
the last presidential election and as
the Wilson victory was credited
largely to the influence of the la
dies the doctor evidently thought
the county knew how to organize.
Dr. Morrow likes Ashland and
comes here frequently when he gets
away from Portland. 1t will be re-
membered that he was in this city
at the time banquets were being
spread at Hotel Austin in honor of
the committees out soliciting sub
scriptions for the state normal
school campaign fund. Invited to
say few words he boosted the nor
NAL school issue in a clear and in
telligent manner that delighted the
audience and closed by saying that
he meant what he said he was pre-
pared to subscribe S25 to the fund.
As that was the first piece of money
the normal workers had ever seen
from Portland in behalf Of the school
the audience fairly raised the roof
off the building.
DR.. Morrow has made a world
wide study of hydropathic establish
ments and is greatly interested in
the efforts to make Ashland through
its mineral waters as famous along
this line as the cures in. other parts
of America and Europe.

OF BONDS
Should HOLD THEM.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Jan. 1S.-
Daily quotations on Liberty Bonds
which, at present, show them below
par, have nothing to do with the
maturity value of the bonds and are
of no interest to the ordinary bond
holder" Governor John U. Calkins
of the San Francisco Federal Re-
serve Bank declared here today
"The United States government will
redeem every Liberty bond at its ma
turity date at face value plus accrued
interest"
The reason for the decline in the
price of the government securities
is that sbeculators, anxious to win
higher returns on riskier invest
ments, have let go of large blocks
of the bonds The daily quotations
on Liberty bonds reflect the action
of these forces which fix market val
ues. Mark It yclues. however, have
nothing whatever to do with real
values.

A splendid representation of the
