MAE MURRAY DANCES WAY THROUGH PLAY

That delightful little star. Mae Murray, has one of those radiant per sonalities that seem to leap from the screen. In "The Delicious Little Devir' at the Palace Theatre last night she plays part that offers her the fullest scope for her dancing ability and the way the former Fol lies star glides across the waxed floor it is a show in itself.
 Of interest also is the appearance of Rodolph Valentino in the role of a young man about town who is madly in love with Gloria de Moyne, the cabaret dancer with the Paris ian reputation "The Delicious Little Deyil' tells the efforts of a fair young colleen to live up to an as. sumed role of wickedness. She hates to do it but bread and butter, with a few trimmin's are dependent there on.

THE RACE FOR LIFE" COMING TO COLISEUM

Ophir. the city celebrated in an- tiquity for it's riches, has dropped out of sight completely since the days of Solomon. Antiquarians. his torians, geographers, explorers have failed to throw light upon it's exact location or the fate which caused its disappearance. Did an earth quake wipe it out? Did it crumble away of age? Did the sea inundate it? Were it's people wiped out by pestilence? Did the drifting sands bury it?
 Nobody knows. The search for it furnishes the dominent motive in the twenty-reel Paramount screen spectacle, "The Mistress of the World which is being presented in four smashing pictures. The sec ond of these, dealing with the thrill- ing adventures which led up to the finding of the lost City of Ophir, which is entitled "The Race for Life,' will be presented Tuesday at the Coliseum theatre. It is mas sive production.

 The other bill requires county of ficers who seize liquor to make tri- plicate reports of the amount. one copy going to the person accused of possessing the liquor, the second to the county clerk, the third to be retained by the sheriff.

Numerous other prohibition meas ures were introduced. but failed of passage.
 WIScONSIN-The Stevenson law, Wisconsin's prohibition enforcement statute, emerged from the present session of the legislature unscathed despite attacks from wet forces.
 When vets and drys took stock of their accomplishments after the defeat of the final bill aimed at the enforcement statute, the friends of prohibition pointed to ten dead wet bills, while the anti-prohibition forces were able to claim only one resolution asking congress to so amend the volstead act as to permit the highest possible alcoholic content in beer compatible with the Eigh- teenth Amendment.
 The concerted attack of the vets in the assembly, directed at the repeal of the Stevenson law, was sue cessful by a five vote margin in the lower house, but met decisive defeat in the Senate. Indefinite postpone ment was given the proposal 19 to 12 by the upper house, without any preceding discussion.
 An attempt to modify the enforce ment statute by restricting the search and seizure clause, a move openly sponsored by Governor Blaine and favored by the assembly. was stopped short by adverse Senate action.
 Several other attacks on the dry law met defeat when they ran against the Senate dry majority. With every wet measure killed beyond the pos sibiity of revival, the Wisconsin liquor statute stands unamended for another two years. This statute was enacted by the 1921 legislature, and Is supported by the Anti-Saloon League.

TYPH0ID'S LOW DEATH RATE.

NEW YORK. July 23.-Control of typhoid fever has made such prog ress that in 1922 the death rate for this disease was the lowest ever recorded. according to figures com- piled by the Metropolitan Life h. surance Company.
 Based on statistics from one-sev- enth of the total population of the United States and Canada, the death rate in the year mentioned was 5.6 per 100000 of population. In 1911 the rate was 22.8 per 100000.
 These figures are particularly cheerful to the American Child Health Association. which is en- gagged in fighting typhoid as well as other diseases which affect children and mothers.

NEW PICTURE HAS
POWERFUL THEME

What harm newspaper publicity and
notoriety can do persons in public
life when scandal turns its forces
against them, is the central theme OF
William de Miles latest production
for Paramount, The Worlds APP
plause," featuring Bebe Daniels and
Lewis Stone, which comes to the
Grand Theater next Monday and
tuesday. ~ n
Bebe Daniels has the role of Cor
lnne days, asucccssful actress, whose
high place has been largely due to her
unsuitable search for publicity Lewis
Stone, finished stage and screen artist,
makes his debut as contract player
under the Paramount banner in the
role of John Elliott, a dramatic pro-
Queer, who becomes enmeshed in emo
tional situations of compelling force
when his sister (Kathyn Willian1s) al
lows jealousy OF her artist husband
(Adolph Menjou) to drag them all into
quagmlre OF scandal and tragedy.
From this point on the drama pro-
ceeds to an unexpected conclusion. Gre
ating, it is said, a typically well-round-
ed, dramatic William de Mile enter
tainment.
An ultra-modern note is struck by
Miss Daniels in her costumes, which
are unusually elaborate. Mr.. de Mile
considers the cast assembled for "The
Worlds Applause" one of the best in
his career as motion picture direct
or.
Other supporting rolts are llled by
such well-know-l players as Branden
Hurst, Bernice Frank, Maym Kelso,
George Kuwa and James Neill.

A PUPILS APPRECIATION

words of praise in behalf of our par
ents for doing this great thing of vot-
ing $4,000 bond for Lynnwood.
Oh, the joy we will feel when we 60

the proper Lighting, heating, ventla-
ton and seating, the beautiful clean
walls tolook at from day to day in
stead of the dirty disfigured ones to-
day.

desk mates, having to write, yet writ
ing being almost impossible, trying
to study with three or four whisper
ing in ones ears, the light glaring un-
welcomed in our eyes, the sun stream
ink in upon us no more sitting in
desks jammed together with tired legs
dangling, trying to study with our
books almost on level with our eyes
but instead each one will have his own
desk and there will be plenty of room
for each and every one
Then too, we will all be on the
ground so il the building should catch
on fire how safe we would all be. AS

time | think of fire or bad storm.
Father, mothers, you can not be
doing wrong in voting this bond
Think of the hundreds of children
that will rise up in the future to call
you "Blessed' When if you fail to
do this, think what it will mean. II
we get any education worth mention
ing we must go else where and dear
Lynnwood must take a back seat.

financially to send us elsewhere and

will easily have more grades and we
will have the best teachers to teach in
them. Good teachers want places in
schools like that.
1t will be pleasure to remain "on
the farm" if You will give us as good
an education as Our city cousins are
getting. How will We be able to COM
pete with them in future life unless
we may have an education equal to
theirs? If we must go to town to get
our education it is only natural that
we wish to remain in town.
Fail! There is no such word as fail.
The need is too great. Our parents
want us to have the best and we praise
and adore them for it.

Boys have the greatest respect Tor the fellows who
play square. The boy who cheats, who breaks the
rules of the game may to be successful; he may
claim the fruits of temporary victories, but he
is discovered in wrong-dong, he has lost than
in all the hollow victories he to have gained
His payfellows view him with suspicion; he has lost
the priceless possessions Of confidence and trust.
The world is ever ready to cheer for the fellow
who will honestly lose and find victory in losing The
world has nothing but contempt for him who seeks
victory by a conduct that short-cfrcuits character.
When the New England baseball league brought its
season to an end a few years ago excitement ran
high among the fans The two teams that played off
for the pennant had each won two games in the final
contest. The bleachers were packed to witness the
one last struggle that should decide.
In the last half of the ninth inning the stood
to against the team at bat. There were two out ;
two men on bases; the batter up had twice famed

The pitcher delivered; the batter swung the grand
stand sprang to its feet-a phenomenal hit. The ball
shot upward and outward If started on journey

grounds; it desperate race.
The keeper Of the grounds had not calculated that
any ball would ever be driven far. Along the

his hand, evidence that he had made the catch,
that he had made out completed the inning,
the game gained the pennant for his team.
The moment was his. The fans Of his city spent
their wild enthusiasm in maddening cheers. Then
all changed. The hand that held the ball high
lowered and the head that had risen defantly out Of
the tail grass sank and shaken negatively. The
cheering ceased funeral silence lay the bleachers
Like a cloudy blanket.
The fielder had a victory that was above the
pale of pennants. He who hung his head In humlia-
ton was lifted into the glory Of herosm by who
admired man who dared umpire himself honestly,
who could be as fair by his opposing team as by his
own team, who could put the Golden Rule upon a
baseball diamond and make it thing of matchless
glory.
Every man is instinctively honest. Every man
wants to be honest But the hunger for success the
ear that aches to hear his fellow men cheer ofttimeS
duls the conscience compromise with self to shade
the truth with shallow falsehood But each such
compromise makes blunt and bending that con-
science which is the prop Of character. And vic

character the Gibraltar Of their lives.
The boy who learns to play the game squarely will
become the who plays the game Of life squarely
who will take mean advantage who knows that no
game is unless it Ia rightly Won.

ATLANTA, Ga, June IF the
enormous destruction from forest fires
can be eliminated, Georgias soil and
climate conditions will make our tim
Der dependable resource from which
every citizen will profit"
This statement was made by Bonn
ell H. Stone, president of the Georgia
Forestry Association, in announcing
hat the Association would take ap
active part in a campaign to secure
action by the coming legislature Great
ing State Fire Warden organization
under the direction of the State Board
OF Forestry. The proposed work
would be supported by a special ex-
pcnse upon the the State Treasury as
! it would be supported by a special tax
upon forest-product industries, Mr..
Stone stated
No where in the United States does
timber grow more rapidly than in
Georgia, Mr.. Stone stated. an spite
OF this, our naval stores and timber
industries are steadily and rapidly de-
Ginning, because of the fire loss amour
ting to more than million dollars
each year. The only way this can be
prevented is by having men on guard
to stamp out the fires before they can
gain Roadway
IF the State Legislature will act
the Government will give the State for
this work sum equal to whatever
amount is set aside for fire prevention.
| Government aid has been offered us
and Georgia is one of the few states
which have not taken advantage of
this financial assistance.
The need for fire warden organ
ization has long existed and the only
obstacle in the way in the past has
been the lack of State funds. Now that
obstacle has been eliminated. At the
recent hearing in Macon conducted by
the State Board of Forestry, represen-
tatives of the timber and forest-pro-
ducts industries, the naval stores in
terests and the lumber manufacturers
UNANIMOUSLY agreed to a special tax
tor the support of fire wardens and
urged the Legislature to take the nee
essary action. In view of this sit
uatlon, we believe the legislature will
not hesitate to enact legislation neces-
sary to put the plan under way"

he has worked hard for his sue
