PRINCESS WINS HEARTS YORKSHIRE HOUSEWIVES
 WITH DOMESTIC SKILL

LONDON, Sept 30.-Princess Mary is making an excellent housewife. That is what they are saying up in Yorkshire, where the Princess and her Viscount husband have been spend- ing the late summer weeks. York shire standards are very high. too. The Princess has won the hearts of all of the Yorkshire country people and is most popular in the villages sur rounding her country home. She ire ouently goes into the village to shop personally, and her tours are always the subject of much discussion.
 An old Yorkshire shopkeeper has given away one of the royal secrets. He is authority for the statement that the Princess has a weakness for royal pictures. Whenever she visits this old gentleman's shop she always spends a considerable amount of time looking over the photographs of the members of her own family. The Princess IS great seeker for antiques and never misses a chance to pick up an old treasure from an old shop.

WALLA WALLA, Sept. 3O.-An old man, hoary of head yet clear of eye, and clean and healthful of complexion despite his ninety-one years, is headed eastward on his twenty-second trip across the United States. He is Ezra Meeker, pioneer, lecturer, historian, who has spent seventy years of his life in the Pacific Northwest.
 The old emigrant became national ly noted fifteen years ago, when, in his seventy-sixth year, he completed his third trip across the country in an ox-team, arriving in New York City late in 1907
 To date Ezra Meeker has made sev- enteen transcontinental trips by train, three by ox-team and one by automo bile. On his present journey he is travelling by automobile and train.

SWEDENBORGIANS WILL REVAWP BIBLE AT COST
 OF FIFTY THOUSAND

URBANA, O.. Oct. "A new trans laton of the Bible, including only the books which, in the opinion of Sweden borg. have an inner or symbolic mean ing, will be undertaken at once by the New Church (Swedenborgian) under authority of a resolution adopted by the Church convention here.
 The work, which has been in con templation for more than forty years, is made possible by the donation of sufficient funds by George Marchant, a wealthy member of the sect, who re- sides in Brisbane, Australia.
 The task will require from five to six years to complete, and it's total cost is estimated at $50000 or more.
 eve intend to produce a slightly more accurate and scientific transla- tion of the Bible, with all the aid which modern research can give" said Rev William L. Worcester, president of the convention, in explaining the plan.
 "The present Bible, while a very sincere and accurate translation, con- tains a number of words which were used because of literary style and which are not accurate synonyms of the original words"

pREACHERS' FAMILIES
 NO LONGER LARGE

LONDON, Oct 3. - Clergymen no longer have large families, the mem bers of the -Malthusian Birth Con- trol Society were told by Professor MacBride at a recent conference. Thirty years ago the clergy were reckoned among the most prolific members of the community, and right lv regarded as breeders of talent; but today road sweepers, dock laborers and people of that class indulge in large families, while clerical families consist of only one or two children,
 The professor declared also that any species of animal and plant, If al lowed to exercise unchecked its ma. tural powers of reproduction, would in few years completely overun the earth and crush out other forms of life.

LOVE MOVES
 KOREAN TO RARE DICTI0N

LOS ANGELES, Oct. "A Korean of endearment and passion that pale the most ardent missives from the pen of Madalynne Obenchain to J. Belton Kennedy, whom she is alleged to have plotted to kill-was exhibited by Mrs. Augusta Flynn, who has just returned from stay in Korea.
 The letter is one proposing marriage to the maid employed by Mrs. Flynn, and under the Korean custom it was addressed to Mrs. Flynn, whose per mission is required under the Korean law to permit the love match to end in wedlock
 According to Mrs Flynn, the writer, John An Sin, is a member of a family American schools at Honolulu. She declares that the Korean scholars are profound students of the American die tionary and. in an effort to express themselves, use words of many syl- fables.
 The letter, containing many words found in Webster's volume and some of the writer's own coinage, is as fol lows:
 "It is with faltering penmanshtp that I communicate with you about prospective proposal to your household girl, Sarah. From remote time past secret passion has been firing my bosom internally with your loving girl Sarah.
 q have traveled all channels in the magnitude of my extensive jurisdiction cruelty to smother the growing love knot that is being constructed within my inside. But the timid lamp of my affection, trimmed by Cupid's prOduc- tive hands. still nourishes my lovesick | breast. Needless would it be for me to numerically extemporize the great conflagration that has generated in my heart and head During the reign of nightness my
 intellectual cranium has been entan- gled in thoughtful attitude of my be- loved consort Nocturnal slumberless- ness has been the infirmity which has besieged my now loving begenerated condition.
 My educational abilities have abandoned, and now I cling to these lonely stresses of your much-coveted girl like a mariner ship-wrecked on the rocks of love.
 q am of lofty and original lineage and independent income, and hoping that, having debated the proposition in your girls mind, you will concur daintily corroborated in espousing Sarah praying to my tender bosom and thereby acquiring me into your friend ship circle"
 Mrs Flynn stated she gave her consent and that Sarah and John An Sing are living in Korean Hove cottage"

GOLD STAR TABLET WILL AD0RN TREE
 AS WAR MEMORIAL

SALEM, Ore, Oct. "A gold star on which will be engraved the names of all Marion county men and women who lost their lives in the service of their country during the World War will be placed on a redwood tree here, according to a decision reached by the Salem chapter of the American war mothers.
 The number of men and women whose names will be engraved on the memorial is not accurately known as yet, according to Mrs. J. A. Carson president of the war mothers. How ever, a complete check of all veterans entitled to the recognition, will be made so that the memorial will serve as a complete record of all those who made the supreme sacrifice.
 The redwood tree will be surround ed by an iron fence and the gold star tablet will be illuminated at night, Mrs. Carson added. All branches of the service will be included in the me- morial, Mrs. Carson said.
 The tree on which the memorial will be placecd has been the center of much interest here for the past few weeks. About month ago the city council voted that the tree, which ;e in Summer street Shou1d he cut down so as to not endanger traffic. Many local residents were opposed to seeing the tree go, as it has num- Der of historical association to Salem. A petition has been circulated asking the council to rescind its action and A. N. Bush, of this city, has offered to furnish all materials necessary for having the tree lighted and to arrange for suitable protection for traffic.

CONSTANCE SHOWS
GIRLS THE WAY IN
PRIMITIVE LOVER

Constance Talmadge enriches
her place as screen comedienne
in THE Primitive Lover" which
had its first tri-city showing yes
Iterday at the Capitol, where the
picture will remain for a week.
The Primitive Lover In addition
to its comedy appeal, has a strong
pilot and something of lesson for
romantically inclined girls be-
meath the veneer of humor. Phyl-.
lis Tomley. newly married, finds
domestic life with a practical hus-
band boring and dreams of romance
that she imbibes from trashy nov
els. Along comes Wade, a rejected
suitor, to embody those ideals in
real life.
Both Wade and the husband are
mild takers. Wade is reported to
have died during a South Ameri-
can exploring trip, but the report
was greatly exaggerated. having
been publicity hoax to stimulate
the sale of his novels. The hus-
band knew it and used the know
ledge of Wade's enforced absence
to win his wife's hand. When the
dual chicanery is exposed the wife
seeks divorce and the problem of
the debutante arrives again, for
both men are once more suitors for
her hand. The difference is that
while one adopts cave" methods
the other adheres to the conven-
tional twentieth century method of
iwooing.
Constance Talmadge does some
of the most effective mimicry of
her career. Harrison Ford and
Kenneth Harlan are splendid foils
for each other as the two rivals,
The direction borders on perfec-
ton, the photography is good, and
withal, it is a picture that holds
