REFORM CAR USED
 FOR AUTO SPEEDERS

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 30.-Use of a reform car" has been resorted to by Judge G. E. Unruh of this city in an effort to minimize the amount of reckless automobile driving in the vicinity of Salem. The auto, which has large banners on either side bearing the captain in big red letters, "This is traffic violator being taught the rules of the read" was placed in operation here recently.
 A traffic violator, who had pleaded guilty before Judge Unruh to speed ing his car at the rate of 40 miles an hour and who admitted to the court that he was racing" was the first man to drive the car. He was fined and ordered to drive the Ire form car"
 Judge Unruh says that his move to eliminate speeding and reckless drlv- ing is not a bluff, and that other violators can expect similar sent ences.

MOVIE l

For rare beauty of background few pictures that have been screened this season can equal the picture version of Sir J. M. Barrie's, "The Little Min ister," which Penryn Stanlaws, the ar tist-director, produced for Paramount with Betty Compson in the role of Lady Babbie," made famous on the stage by Maude Adams.
 The picture, which will be shown at the Empres stheater tonight gives many views of the picturesque village of "Thrums," (Kirriemuir, Scotland) Barrie's birthplace, in contrast with the famous Rintoul Castle, built after the style of the old Norman Castles, with high ceilings, stone mullioned and leaded glass windows, high arches and huge stone stairways. In the village the homes of the poor weavers are shown as we'll as the town hall and kirk. The lookout scenes, taken on top of Mount Hollywood, also present delightful silhouette studies.
 The story is an absorbing one and deals with the daughters of Scot tish Lord Rintoul, who plays the part of a gypsy girl and whose incognito is revealead only after series of thrilling events take place. George Hackathorne is the leading man and heads large and capable supporting company.

BRIDGE WILL LINK TWO
 FLORIDA RESORTS

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. I. - The con struction of causeway and concrete bridge, which will connect Tampa and St. Petersburg by route about 2O miles long, is in progress here. The present automobile route around the bay is more than 40 miles. The most important factor of the new route will be a concrete bridge, to cost about $2,OO0 00O and to be completed year hence. St. Petersburg is the tourist capital of the Florida West Coast fol persons of moderate means, which constitute the largest class now wis iting Florida.
 The bridge will be made wide enough for both automobiles and trol | ley lines. Hard-surfaced roads have been built from both Tampa and St Petersburg to connect with the bridge approaches, and dredges are now al work rapidly throwing up two artifi cial islands, upon which the promoter the Candy Bridge Company, states it will build pleasure resorts, affordine the best fishing and bathing obtain able.
 The great bridge which has been started is made possible largely by the fact that Old Tampa Bay, which | it will span, is very shallow, exceIt where dredged out for ship channels, and that a few feet under the sand bottom there is to be found an abund- ance of hard rock, out of which the concrete can be made on the spot, Two draw bridges will be provided, under the Governments orders, so that the structure will not hinder nav igation.

WHITE RUSSIAN REFUGEES ARE
 FORCED FLEE

SHANGHAI, Feb 1.-Two thousa nd "White" Russian refugees, accompan jed by Admiral Stark, of the Russian Navy, are on board nine Russian yes sels at Woosung awaiting permission of the Chinese authorities before any fo them are permitted to lanc or the ships are allowed to come uI the river to Shanghai.
 Six other ships, said to be carrying about 2,O00 refugees, are on theil way to China and are expected al Woosung shortly.
 | The fleet sailed from VladivostOk with refugees said to number be tween 4.OO0 to 5000 just before the Red" forces took Vladivostok, after the withdrawal of the Japanese forces from Siberia and the con tinued defeat of the White Guard
 Fled for Lives
 All on board the vessels, including the nine now at the Shanghai port are officers and men of the White Guard, their wives and families, and officials of the old regime in Siberia who fled for their lives.
 They are in a pitiful condition needing clothing and food. As soon as the "Whites" found they could not defeat the Reds they boarded the Russian ships in the Vladivostok Harbor. The refu gees set sail for Gensan, Korea, the Mecca of thousands of other Russian refugees since the "White" debacle in Siberia. Gensan, however, is over running with refugees who are suf- fering for want of good, clothing and other necessities of life.
 The additional refugees, under the command ot Admiral Stark, found it impossible to land.
 The fleet then sailed for Japan and was again forbidden to dock. The commander tried number of Japanese ports, but in every case the authorities refused, as the refu- gees are penniless as well as without prospects of employment, and the authorities would not be responsible for them in Japan.
 Can't Find Haven
 So the fleet is again in quest of a landing place. Before it sailed from Japan the authorities gave the refugees supplies and coal enough to bring the ships to China.
 The Chinese authorities are fearful also of the consequences if they per init such large number of needy men and women and little children to arrive here Consequently they have refused to permit any to land unless they are guaranteed sleeping quarters of some kind and provisions has been made for their support.
 It looks as if the fleet of fleeing men and women who have been driven from their homes will try tc make Europe.
 l Final action, however, has not been taken by the Chinese authorities.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-Within a beau t1ful plaza, grouping municipal and Federal administrative buildings, it is proposed to erect a magnificent memorial building in enumeration of the soldiers of St. Louis who sacri- ficed their all for the honor of their country.
 The plaza site would take in a stretch of property in the heart of the city approximately 400 feet wide and 1900 feet long. In the center of the group of public buildings would
 be erected the memorial structure. Washington is the only other city in the United States that has pro- vided public building plaza, and a great campaign is under way to bring the citizens of this city to the idea. The cost of the proposition would be $6,000,0 0,000-to be placed before the voters of the city at a special bond issue election on February g for approval.
 While the complete sketches and plans for the building have not been drawn or decided upon it is proposed to erect a building that will house all activities of military and patriotic organizations and contain nemOrial hali for pubic meetings. Annual civic fetes, such as the Christmas festival, police review and other activities would be held in the building.
 Ten public buildings would be grouped within the plaza, the mem- orial holding a central position in the group. The other buildings are the Auditorium, Hall of Records, Fed eral Building, Court House, Educa- tion Building, Museum, Public Lii brary, City Hall and Municipal Courts Building.
 For legal reasons, III keeping "llh recent decision of the Supreme
 Court, the ordinance proposing the
 plan reads ''deceased veterans of the
 late war;" but it is planned to dedi-
 cate the memorial to the veterans of
 all wars.
 Post commanders of all veterans

 worth of bonds, but to give active help in winning the sentiment of the

Now for the conclusion: Since the
unions refer to shops in which their
restrictive rules are in operation as
closed shops" the shops in which
those rules are not in operation may
properly be termed" unclosed" shops.
In other words, they are "open shops"
Ii the closed shops are called union"
shops then the open shops may prop
erly be called "non-union" shops.
However, if the employer of non
union help wants to call his shop an
open shop, to indicate that he is
FREE from the dictation of labor
unions, who among you lexicograph-
ers will say in your dictionaries that
he has not the right to use that word ?
You tell us that usage governs the
meaning of words. Hence, you MAX
ers-of- dictionaries, as faithful scribes,
will merely record that the open shop
is one in which both employees and
employers are FREE to think and do
what the constitution of the United
States permits them: to enjoy life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
without restrictions by labor unions.
