SOCIETY FIGURES in
FOOLISH WIVES

Several hundred prominent San
Francisco society folk played roles as
humble extras in Foolish Wives, the
million dollar picture to be seen at the
Rialto theater on April "a and contin-
uing for three days. The millionaire
extras were used to give tone to the
promenade scenes which picture the
wealthy crowds sufging along the
walks and terraces at Monte Carlo.
The Universal Film Co. in order to
produce these scenes built an immense
set at Point Lobos. near Monterey,
Calf. The ocean side of Monte Car
los famous casino. the bandstand. and
the seaside promenades Of the Riviera
resort were duplicated.
Participation BY San Francisco's 400
was obtained By Carl Laemmle pFesi-
dent Of the Universal. as the result of
a handsome contribution to a worthy
San Francisco charity. The wealthy
Golden Gate blue-bloods motored to
Monterey for the week end and devot-
ed Sunday to strolling around the

as if they were strolling around at

FREDRICY APPOINTED
TO TRAILS CLUB

The Commercial club, at request Of
the Old Oregon Trail Association,
Monday night elected J.. H. Fredricy
as Hood River county's vice president
of the new organization. The local
club is considering participation at an
Oregon Trail celebration and pageant
at Baker July a. MIR. Fredricy was
authorized by his fellow club men to
raise $l00 for assistance in financing
publicity work of the old trail organic
alton. Leslie Butler was originally
elected Hood Rivers vice president.
At the instance of G. A. Bell, the
club has adopted a resolution urging
that county and city authorities confer
and reach an agreement that will per-
init the holding of jury sessions of the
circuit court at the new city hall. The
room of the old courthouse is declared
entirely inadequate, and il is not
likely, il is declared. that bond issue
will be voted soon for the construction
of a new building. The old quarters.
it is declared, are disgraceful in view
of the new woman's jury law.
A resolution introduced recently by
g. 4. Graves and referred to the scenic
preservation committee Of the club
called for the inclusion of tn Diamond
Lake National Forest in the Crater
Lake National Forest The committee,
however. after an investigation. has
asked that the club take no action.
G. 0. Huelat for the civic committee
reported that the county had reported
that excavations of gravel pits at the
west edge of the city would ultimately
leave the property in better shape than
il is at present. Top excavations will
be dumped into old diggings. ii was
stated.
c. Z. Crew for the house committee
called attention to the purchase Of
new billiard table. He warned players
against abuse OF the table BY sitting
on them. This, he said, breaks doNn
cush HONS. The new ivory balls cannot
stand draft. and as a result the lower
halves Of the billiard room windows
have been nailed down. Card tables
have been removed from the reception
room to the billiard room.

D'ANJOU PEARS
GOOD KEEPERS
EXPERIMENT STATION MAKES TESTS
Pears in Former Years Have Been Picked
Too Early Those Harvested
Late Keep Well

Oregon d'Anjou pears may become
as famed for their attractiveness and
long keeping qualities in export mar
kets as is the Oregon NewtowB apple.
The impression has generally obtained,
both among growers and market men
that pears we're more or less a fall
product and the market activity in
them has never extended beyond the
holiday season.
Tests just made by the Experiment
Station with d'Anjous stored since har-
vest time last fall demonstrate. in the
opinion of local fruit men, that the
Hood River valley d'Anjou may 90 into
the class of winter fruits characterized
by long keeping qualities. Indeed.
local growers and shippers declare that
the experiments may result in a re-
newed fruit industry that will bring
thousands of dollars into the state in
future years.
The storage tests, conducted by Le-
roy Childs and Gordon G. Brown. show
that growers have been picking their
d Anious entirely too soon. Last fall
the experiment station men placed in
storage Lower Valley pears, of the
winter variety, picked September 3, a
ing their pears. They took from an
Upper Valley orchard pears picked
September %, October / and October
8. The Lower Valley fruit is badly
shriveled. is very unattFactive to the
eve and is not appetlzing While the
pears of the Upper Valley orchard,
picked September 22, are slightly
shrveled, they have good flavor.
The fruit picked October l is plump
and fresh looking. 1t appeals To the
palate as well as the eye. The pears
picked October are exceedingly firm.
In tonnage, appearance and keeping
quality, the pears picked on the last
dates are far superior.
Indeed. says Mr.. Brown. "the
test determines beyond a doubt that
the growers have been picking their
d Anjous before they have matured.
Ii explodes the fallacy, with respect to
this variety, that pears should be
peked little green. The tonnage fea-
lsre is one that should appeal TO grow
ess. The fruit sizes rapidly just be-
fore it ripens. as figures obtained by
US denote. The harvest time circum-
ferences of the pears picked at differ
ent dates we're as follows: Septem-
ber 3, Tie inches; September %,
4-t6; October l, 8 4-l6, and October
8. 6-l6. The average weight gained
by each pear was about an ounce.
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Childs held their
grand opening of pears Saturday after
noon. Numerous citizens were invited
up TO their office TO see the results of
the storage tests and to sample the
product. The luscious d'Anjous made
a hit.
