"SHADOWS" At THE GRAND
THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT

The Interpretation Of the Chinese
character has long been favorite
theme for. screen plays but is seen
in an entirely new light in "Shad-
ows" the Preferred picture persent-
ed by P. B. Schulberg which ends
it's local engagement at the Grand
theatre today.
The picture is based on Wilbur
Daniel 5Steele1s prize story, "Ching,
Ching, Chinanlan." which was ac-
claimed as one of the greatest stories
of 1917. The usual run Of motion
pictures put the Chinaman in a vim
dictive light, but CLANCY in "Shad-
ows" is the sort Of an Oriental that
Confucius or some other Chinese
sage must have been: kindly, benign
and helpful.

! On the other side Of the Atlantic the
British amateurs, restricted in their
Hobby by ultra-conservatlve government
regulations, have turned their atten-
ltion solely to radio-frequency ampli-
!t1cation. This has given excellent re-
;sults on all long and medium wave
lengths, but its success on shorter wave
lengths has depended solely upon che
iexpert handling Of the operator, who
has been compelled to use tuned
;;coupling circuits between each Of the
lradio.frequency vacuum tubes.
It is. too early yet to tell which Of
ithe two systems will ultimately tri-
Eumph, but there is no doubt that the
laurels at the present moment rest
upon the American amateurs through

out Of a total of 1874 cities scattered
over-the country, 121cities still report
"a housing shortage. Of the remaining

only 10 a moderate shortage. This

there is still much residential building

"What about rent?", Mr.. Babson
was asked.
High rents have probably passed
their peak. The long swing will be
downward. Here again it is ques-

system of the Northwest has been
extended by construction or projec-

STILL OPTIMISTIC
GENOA DELEGATES
Believe Conference Has Prov
ed Way to Solving
Economic Problems.

GenOa-The dominant thought In
Genoa Saturday as the delegations to
the economic conference were depart
ing for their home lands seemingly
was that, although the conference was
a thing of the past as far as Genoa Is
concerned, its achievements would live
and contribute much to the pacifica-
ton and reconstruction of Europe.
The officials of some Of the smaller
states undoubtedly will go home dis
appointed But as a whole, the belief
prevails that the Genoa conference,
despite disputes which almost pushed
Europe to the edge of precipice, has
resulted in the beginning of better
understandings between the nations Of
Europe, including Russia. Even Off
cial France admitted it. France, which
came here reluctantly, almost suspic-
iously goes away with more conf
dence.
Lloyd-George, who has hurried back
to England, has not accomplished ev-
erything he hoped for. Nevertheless,
he left Italian soil optimistic for the
future, ''if only the Russians will prove
reasonable"
The conference solemnly adjourned
after adopting provisional nonag-
gression past, approving arrangements
for The Hague meeting and adopting
the report of the economic conference
with the recommendations for the re-
building of disorganized Europe.

Doors.

Little Bobbie Jones was told to
write an essay on "Doars'' and the
effort which he sent in was as fol
lows:
Most houses have all the doors
they need, and no house is complete
without at least one. The two main
differences between a door and gate
is. first, their opposite location; and
second, that people have much less re-
spect for gate, and would rather
kick 1t than knock on 1t.
But gate is more useful than a
door because it does everything that a
door can do, and besides that, it can
be climbed over, and often is.
1.-THE doorhanAle is a small but i'm
portant part Of che door which people
never appreciate until it comes off.
Most people never notice the door
handle unless it is brought to their no.
tice on account Of having jam spread
all over it.
doors are great things to give peo-
pie privacy, and would give them still
more if it wasn't for the keyholes."
