American Legion, the. Oregon depart
ment convention of the legion recently
adopted resolution that was sent to
all state senators and representatives
declaring in favor of a law compell-
ing the employment of American citi-
gems in reconstruction work in the
northwest.
The proposed law would compel
every person. corporation, city and
| county in Oregon who employs more
than five men or women to make a re-
port to the commissioner of labor
twice a year. This report would
classify employees into three divisions
American citizens, aliens with first
papers, and those with none.

of the employment of aliens to So
| cieties OF American citizens.

The scene where the wicked en-
peror, standing upon balcony of his
palace, gloats over the destruction OF
the doomed city after he has given
the orders for its burning, puts the
finishing touches upon the horror OF
the situation. Taken individually,
there is an appalling beauty about
these fire scenes that holds the spec
tatoF spellbound.
Miss Duvall, the "Vamp" in Nero"
was a vaudeville actress in Paris when
she was engaged to play the part OF
the "wickedest woman in the world.'
Whatever her training, she was able
to bring to the screen a subtle sug-
gestion of infamy that makes her im-
personation of this celebrated member
of the vampire brood a piece of con-
summate art. Tall, slender and grace
full as a tiger, with flashing eyes and a
cameo contour of face. Miss Duvai
as Poppaea has no difficulty in ex-
planning her hold over the infatuated
ruler. after carrying out her plan to
deliberately desert her husband and
become the favorite Of Nero. At the
hands of such a Quick-wfttedss I'M
scrupulous woman, the tyrant meets
more than his match, and Poppaea
manages to retain his favor and es-
cape destruction where a less intelli-
gent woman you'd have suffered the
fate of Nero's former favorite, Acte,
or that of his wife and mother who
were dispatched at the prompting OF
the new empress.

one of James Oliver Curwood's best
books is billed for the first half of
next week. All the scenic beauty of the
north coupled with a story with lot
of action makes this a strong picture.
A novel touch has been given to
"Flower of the North" in the prologue
which shows the north country in the
days of the French Chevalier when
knights fought for a fair lady's hand.
This comes in a decided contrast with
the story itself. which deals with the
North country at the present day.
For the last half of the week an
other picture with lots of action will
be shown in Bar. Nothing,"a picture
featuring Buck Jones' Two pretty fair
comedies are also billed for the week.

Public Health Associations
One of Tulsa's Most Cher

Tulsa's work for its unfortunate
sick IS done by experts, but IL is paid
for by Tulsa. Each year Christmas
seals are placed on sale in order that
the Tulsa County Public Health as
sociation may carry on its work
among tubercular people, and its
general health work.
Last year thousa nds OF people, lit
orally, were helped by Tulsa.
through the medium of the health
association. Yesterday Miss Ger
trude Swanson, secretary Of the or
ganization, was reviewing briefly the
WORK that has heen done in the last
70 months. Figures are poor story
tellers at best. but some idea of the
scope of the work may be gained
when II is known that 7,S47 visits to
tubcrcuar cases were made by
nurses, 6,043 visits to general cases,
and 1888 patients in attendance at
the clinics. There were 3,S46 school
children examined IN the county, J.
1I6 vaccinations for smallpox made
in the county schools and 121 cor
rective operations performed. This

nurses go into the homes of the pa

The association Is NOSE careful rs
TO the real need and worthiness OF
the patients Charity is something
that it tries to keep out of its WORK.
at least so far as the knowledge Of
the patient Is concerned. It is the
purpose OF the association to make
the patients well, and aid IS given
only so long as they are not able to
take care or themselves. 1nen, phys-
ically sound and their mental out
look improved, they are put on their
own feet. More than one patient OF
the ASSOCIATION has remarked that
they were not charity patients" As
a rule, the association gets a class OF
people that would not go to the usuaI
channels for aid, preferring to strug.
gle along rather than appeal for
charity.
There is comparatively large
number of Tulsa people who are ac-
lively interested in the work of the
Public Health association. The or
Ganization has at the clinic a ioar
closet whose shelves are kept filled
through the generosity and interes
of these friends. Several clubs are

TEXAS MINERS A
FORMIDABLE NUT
FOR THE LOBOs
Defeat the Lower Valley
Farmers Eleven by Score
of 40 to 0; Play Here
Saturday

BY trimming the nluch-touted
Aggies football eleven TO the tune
of 40 to 0 in a game that was cut
short twenty minutes on account
of darkness, the Texas Miners dem
onstrated Saturday that their grid
iron prowess is not to be sneezed
at, ana that they are quite likely
to prove worthy opponents both
for the Lobos in next Saturdays
game here, and for the New Mexico
Aggies. who take the Miners on
in Ell Paso on Armistice day.
The Miners scored at will against
the heavier lower valley aggrega-
ton, and kept the ball in their own
possession more than three-fouFths
of the time, stopping the Farmers
for loss on nearly every run at
tempted. The Ore Diggers' back
field made an especially brilliant
showing, with Ragsdale, Binford,
and Bennett starring, and only the
gathering dusk prevented this trio
from going through the Farmers
for many more touchdowns.
Gene Fromme, writing in the Ell
Paso Times, says that the defen-
sive and offensive play displayed
in Saturdays game was the best
ever shown by the Miners in their
whole football history. Coach
johnson is preparing his Lobos for
real test of their strength when
they meet the Ore Diggers on var
sity field Saturday.
