An AtolI

Few patrons of the motion picture
theatres realize the months Of re-
search necessary to bring to compile
ton the present-day feature produc-
ton! And little do they consider the
impressive sums of money required
to insure the absolute perfection OF
detail required by modern audiences.
For instance, during the filming OF
1.-THE Infdel" Katherine MacDonald's
--latest Associated First National at
traction, which will be shown at the
opera house Friday, it was found that
the scenario called for an atoll.
Now. an atoll, the biographies say,
is coral island having the form of
an outer ring of coral surrounding a
basin or lagoon.
Miss Macdonald simply had to
have one for THE Infidel, which
has South Sea Island theme. The
cost of building one somewhere on
the Pacific coast was practically pro-
hibitive. Yet it was just as lmpos-
sible to take the entire -vmpany to
the South Seas for several weeks.
So Miss MacDonald's technical
staff chose what seemed the most
practical solution, and constructed
an atoll in the Pacific ocean. You
may see for yourself how well this
task was performed when ''The inf
del" is screened at the opera house.
And you're to be congratulated II
YOU guess within five thousand dol
lars of what it cost to build this one
setting.

My Fourteen Mile Hike

My Fourteen Mile Hike
We left Newberry at about five
minutes after eight. We arrived at
a curve and crossroads, where we
saw blue jay sitting upon the wire.
He flew down into field. This was
near where the Emile post used to
be. l saw pigeons flying around a
pigeon house in a back yard. The
chain gang truck passed rs at about
three miles from town. saw the
old 4O-mile post to Columbia in
front of house. We also saw a
member of the Flying Eagle patsol
of our own troop. 1 saw some men
hauling lumber in car-box near a
crossing and a gin-house. We stop
ped and rested at the place where the
road workers had camped. We cross
ed the railroad just on this side of
Prosperity, and passed Summer Wise
and Cyril Hutchinson, fellow-scouts,
at the city limits. We went in Pros
perity to buy our dinner, and sat up
on some cross ties to eat and rest, on
the other side of the crossing. We
crossed the railroad track and saw a
man with punctured tire, and Of
fered to help him but he declined.
We noted about 20 or more swallows
on a telephone wire on the other side
of the railroad. Then we saw S. w.
and C. H. eating dinner in ditch OF
the old road about 11:30. We pass
ed them, and they ran and tried to
pass US. They gave US some pickles
and ham. We came to the camping
ground, and kindled fire. We fried
sausage and ribs Jim put cheese
on bread and burnt it. While we were
eating, freight train passed US
bound for Newberry. A hog, calf,
and a goat came around where we
were cooking and eating. We ran the
calf and the goat away, but the hog
stayed around until we left. AS there
was no other means handy, we ex-
tinguished our fire with dirt. After
we left we were passed by freight
train with II cars of coal and three
people asked us to ride, but we de-
clined. We arrived home about :45

writes his sermons: he doesn't "Inake notes or have any sort of help, but memoriyes everyone of his sermons, or speaks extemporaneously; he re- gards the modern pulpit arrangement as very great temptation, for 1t is so conveniently arranged that writ ten notes' can be hidden-sort of "smuggled in" as 1t were-and yet while this rule obtains for himself, he doesn't in the least object to oth- CTS using notes or the written ser mon.
 Mir. Davis motto is: Pray, Plan, Preach, Persevere." and he lives up to- 1t world without end.
 When I was talking with Mir Davis the other day, we chatted about all sorts of interesting things, especially the parlous times now racking this old world we live in. and our convec- sation resulted In my question to him of Whats the matter with the world today2"
 Mir. DayiS answer was most illumi hating and he began by saying:
 Whats the matter with the world? In the ages past many an swers have been given. Yet the ques- tion is ever present with us. We are no nearer satisfactory answer, seemingly, than decades ago. All an- swers are but opinions. and opinions do not answer. The tendency of them Is the opposite. They are only the expressed mind of man, to be be- lieved or not. by the individual. So long as opinions differ, the question will not be answered in any definite sort of way.
 Ask the educator the question and quick as a flash the whole cause Is attributed to ignorance People are not as thrifty as they once were is tho reply of the banker and busi- ness man. Ask the reformer and the terrible plight of the world is on ao- count of loose morals. etc. And so 1t goes The question is answered in keeping with the individuals line or profession in most instances.
 My answer is from the standpoint of plain minister of the gospel less than 30 years of age, who has tried 70 keep both eyes and ears open. Ex- tremes are cautiously avoided, yet as the answer is a personal opinion, no doubt some will see the extremes in the opinion.
 "All agree that the world Is in a terrible plight. No one thing is re- sponsible. Innumerable things through time and a process of action Is responsible. More time and a diff ferent action will bring a changed condition.
 Some reasons for tho present con dition of the world are these:
 First: Lack of the right sort of public sentiment. Take conditions ;n France as an example. In France conditions exist and indulgencies of various sorts arc permitted, such in- dulgencies being in the main of the vulgar and obscene type. to say nothing of their openness, all be- cause thero is no sentiment against such. Similar practices arc not tol- erated in the States. Why? Public sentiment forbids 1t. Fatty Ar buckle was recently acquitted in a California court of a crime said to have been committed during a wild rarty in prominent hotel one night Though he is free, yet he stands con victed, for the sentiment of the bet ter people of the American continen. was against him.

 Young to the point of envy, oonse crated in his work to the point of en- thusiasm. the Rev. Mir. Davis stands a modern Goliath in the face of the menacing issues that beset the world today.
 Coming from Shelby county. where his father is a minister, and Is active in the pastorate at Mount Hope. MT. Davis received his early education in the rural schools of Shelby county, and later attended the Shelby County High school at Columbiana. thence to Howard college, and in addition Mir Davis holds B diploma on evangelism given by the Moody Bible School. Chicago, of which he was a pupil.
 The Rev. Mir. Davis "pastored" country churches during his student days. in the main paving his school expenses from the funds derived from the work. and before that he had the pleasure and the valuable experience of being the religious editor" of the late Birmingham Led ger. and he confesses to an inclina
 
 c1nAting is It's call.
 In addition to his duties as pastor of tho Powderly Baptist church, the Rev, Mir. Davis is secretary of the Pastors union, and Is the ex-secre- taxv of the Baptist pastors confer 6nce and member of the publicity committee of the executive board of the Birmingham Baptist association.
 In his church work as well as so- cfal duties Mir. Davis is ably assisted by his wife, who was Miss Sula Lois MoEwen Of Wilsonville. Ala, whom he declares has proven R real help meet" making an ideal minister's wffe-and furthermore. he adds that "she ts tho power behind the throne" all honor and glory to her matehless ability and unswerving Christian fortttudA."
 When Mir. Davis went to Powderly tive years ago the Powderly Baptist ch1roh was little more than a "mis- gion." but thanks to the effective work. fine executive ability and prayerful. watchful love of .~The Little Minister" tho church stands today as ono of the most efficient of tho suburban churches in the district, tho membership having grown by leaps and boundA
 And what's more-the spacious now ohufcn building which took the place of the old church building, which was rased on last Thanksgiv- ing day. will be ready for occupancy by the midsummer time
 MT. Davis proudly points to the fact that the Young Peoples Union of the Powderly Baptist church" is the most efficient of all the Baptist unions in the Birmingham district this befng proven by the fact that it has had and held the efficiency banner" for the past several months.
 Now then. there's another side to the Rev. Mfr. Davis. and you'll just love it when tell you that It's this: He loves candy of all kinds, "home- made" and bought" stick and cara mel, Just so it's sweet. and whats more, he doesn't like chicken, as Is generally supposed. but leaves this delectable dish to his Methodist brethren.

oREGoN's FLYING GOVERNOR


 Robert W. Ruhl, in Leslie's.
 There is one governor in the United States who is continually going up in the air. He loves 1t, He is proud of it. His name Is Ben W. Olcott and he is known as the flying gov ernor of Oregon"
 When Governor Olcott took his first flight two or three years ago every one considered 1t a joke The news paper paragraphers of the state were busy for weeks. playing variations on the theme The governor is up In the air again" Then as the flights continued and the governors air hab- it became confirmed. the joke-smiths laid off and view with alarm" edi- tors had their turn.
 It was pointed out with great solemnity that governor in the air" was no governor at all. that Or egon's forefathers. in their infinite wisdom, had made no provisions in the constitution for a chief executive who left the soil of his state perpen- dicularly. so to speak. Such pro- cedure, ineed. was "flighty." not in conformity Wltn thc. oieui oi 1eiAe office, needlessly hazardous, etc.
 But the governor only smiled. He has a quiet, rather disconcerting smile. and proceeded to go up in the air more than ever. For let 1t be known, Governor Olcott from his first flight had a vision. And the more he flew the more clearly outlined that vision became. It was a vision that took in bird's-eye view of Oregon, as one of the richest tim Der producing states in the world; 1t was a vision that took in Crater lake, the Cascades of the Rogue. the gorges of the Columbia; plains where the antelope stili roam. sparklins

 Rents Regulated
 One thing that makes prices at tractive nowadays is the government tai regulation of rents. Thus far landlords have not been permitted to raise rents more than an insignfi- cant amount above the pre-war rate. Hotels and private nouseholders as well are paying annual rentals that in some cases do not run over s1o year. One American here has two furnished rooms, downtown, for 90 cents month-and even so he had to beg his landlady to raise the rent from the previous price of 12 cents. This situation is destined to change in few months, as the government gradually is relaxing ts control. That. means that rents will go mp and that The prices of hotel rooms will follow | Railroads fares in central Europe are practically negligible.
