1t was agreed that regulation Of min

sirabie as perhaps the only way OF
stabilizing conditions, but the hope for
this was said TO be remote. Congress
was not likely to grant this power to

gorgeous colors, and a dripping ballad
by Louis Hirsch, "The Raiu-Beau." had
been rendered with feeling by numer-
Gus vocalists. There had been an ef-
fective animation of "the we'll Known

cocious three-year-ofd had beaten some
drums and .cymbals with precision and
an engaging stolidity. Unusual feats
of acrobatics had been achieved by
Messrs. Fortunello ard Ciyelino, and
there had passed bewildering pageant
of pictures and ballets, endearing the
eye by their richness OF hue and
fabric. John E. Hazard had been comic
IS is his wont, and marvellous gymnas-
SIC dancing had been done by Eugenia

So there were gay causes for the ap-

too, for the chorus of encomium. Mr.
Anderson, who is the captain of the
ship, is inclined at times to mingle
some pensiye notes with the garlands
and the rose odors of his extrava-
ganzas. Consequently there was a mel
low moment or two in these Screen

were hoshed and our attention was
called to the fact. that sadness may
exist even in the more florid precincts

moments occurred when Miss frankie

the lady really wanted to do with the
money was to pay for surgical opera

Avery Hopwood demonstrates that
men leave home because their wives
have flown bafore, and he conducts his
theme through mages Of complication.
But II anybody asks why men leave
the theater the answer is simple,
They go out to form Ku~Klux Klans to
cxtinEuish stage children. Tom was
beautifully messed UP with an incrim-
| mating letter in the hands Of his wife,
| Fiji, but it turned out that the damae-
ing lines were written by a precocious
| brunette of eight years with the tech
nique of a flapper. Doris. the yamp, is
a stage child who writes to her darling
Of moonlight, swan, kisses, candy and
doughnuts. And Fiji, thus unburdened
of her jealousy, smiles herself into the
icenyfction that Tom Is entitled to off,
spring of his own, reversing her ver-
diet that really nice people are not
| going in for that sort of thing nova
days.
That is the destination OF the leading
characters in Mr.. Hopwood's comedy.
"Why Men Leave Home" But the live
iieSt episode, the RUBY red scene, has to
do with the bedroom. No, Mr.. Hopwood
does not write of thrones. The Caesar

PRESIDENT VETOES
SOLDIER BONUS BILL

Washington, D. C.--The soldiers
bonus bill was vetoed by President
Harding.
In returning the measure to con-
gress without his approval the exec
utive, in a message to the house, de-
clared that he was In accord with the
avowed purposes of the bill, but that
he could not subscribe to its proyi-
sions.
Outlining the reasons for his veto
the president said that congress had
failed, first of all, to provide the rev.
enue from which the bestowal was
to be paid. He added that the ulti-
mate cost could not be estimated defi-
nitely, but that the treasury figured
the total at $75O,oO0,OO0 for the first
four years with a final charge in ex-
cess Of $4,000, 100000.
The house passed the soldiers bonus
bill over President Harding.
The vote was 258 to fifty-four, or
fifty more than the necessary two.
thirds majority.

HELPED IN GOING THROUGH
Motorists Got to Their Destination, but
"Papa" Had Had a Lot to
Do With II.

A party Of tourists was attempting
to reach Pendleton on the Pendleton
pike between Indianapolis and Pen
dleton when one of those things that
happen to motorists SO frequently on
country roads happened. 1t was the
day after heavy rain and the ground
was thawing rapidly when this party
descended hub-deep in good, old
Hoosier mud. Through some trick Of
luck, assisted by elbow grease, the
automobile was rescued from the mud
hole and the party about-faced to In
quire at the nearest farmhouse Of an
other route to Pendleton.
A small country boy came to the
door and seemed very reluctant to
give information as to the condition
of other roads leading to Pendleton.
''Have any other machines been 60
ing through on this roadf' the boy
was asked.
[ "Sure, they all have been goln'
through. Papa's been takin' 'em
through for 81 apiece. You guys Is
is the first customers we have lost" re-
piled the boy with deep frown.
A look around disclosed that papa
too was dlsheartened at the good luck
Of the motorists in getting out on their
own power, because he had his team
hitched up ready to increase his mud
hole income for the week.

CAR SHORTAGE DENIED
BY SERVICE COMMISSION

Reports received at the offices Of
the Oregon public service commits
sion during the past few days tend
to refute reports that a serious car
shortage exists at present, and that
shippers probably will encounter
difficulty in obtaining carriers for
the transportation Of this years
crops. This was announced by a
member of the Oregon public serv-
ice commission.
Reports received at the offices
of the commission from the various
railroad corporations operating in Ore
gon indicate that all orders for cars
thus far recc'-ei have been filled
promptly, and t,.a-e is no need for
alarm on the part of the shippers.
In case there is shortage Of cars
at any time in the future, members
of the commission said they would
exert every effort to protect Oregon
shippers. Such a situation could be
relieved, the commissioners said,
through the proper distribution of
cars among western carriers and by
providing heavy penalties for failure
to unload cars promptly.
In order that the shippers of Ore
gon be fully protected, reports are
now being demanded daily from the
railroad corporations. These reports
show the demands for cars and the
number of carriers available.

WORLD WHEAT BEAR.sH

"The world is bearish on wheat"
This remark was made by a large
operator at the close Saturday, in
explanation of the indifference on the
part of the buyers abroad as well as
in all exporting countries, despite the
low level of prices. At the same
time it is apparent that bearish con-
ditions which have dominated the
markets for months are we'll discoun-
ted. Dollar wheat is not high, con-
sidering the purchasing power of a
dollar. 1t is now from producers
standpoint, as wheat and grain values
have not responded to improved con
ditions.
