A Three Act Farce

"A Pair of Skies, under the direc-
ton of Principal Elizabeth B. Hal
bower. will be presented by the Sen
Tor Class of Miller High School on
Friday, May Is at the Opera House.
This play ran for a year at the
LCngacre Theatre, New York, and ex-
cited such furOres of fun and praise
as have never been exceeded in the
history of metropolitan theatricals. II
is a farce that has been declared "a
royal flush" in the matter of fun.
The story deals with the fortunes OF
two partners in the pill manufactur-
ing business. Each claims to be the
head and the brains of the enterprise.
After much squabbling, they agree to
disagree and through the services Of
their attorney decide to settle the dis
pute as to who shall be the head of
the firm by playing a game of Ecarte.
A pair of skies wins.
By the terms of the contract, the
losing partner becomes the other
mans servant for a period of ne
year. The latter is installed as but

To add to the complications, his
sweetheart arrives as a guest in the
household. He is unable TO explain to
her his presence as a mental for

Starting Monday.
How are stars made?
Every young girl who plays before
the molten picture camera knows that
it is a combination of ability, beauty,
and opportunity.
Hundreds of beautiful and capable
girls from all parts of the world are
in Hollywood now, each trying to
prove the right to stardom.
| The outlook is sometimes discour-
aging, but occasionally something oc-
ours in the film colony, which gives
hope and is said to spring eternal in
the human breast, another spring.
The elevation to stardom of Vir-
ginia Valli is one of those encourag-
ing things that has inspired other
girls of beauty and ability.
After several months in which she
played parts OF gradually increasing
value, Miss Valli was given her great
opportunity at Universal City as one
Of three co-stars in "The Storm" She
played with House Peters and Matt
Moore in the strange triangle created

THE Schock" will have its local pre-
mier at the Weir theateF on Monday
and those who are interested in the
advancement of the screen will par
ticularly enjoy seeing Miss Valli in

She appears as the daughter of a
country banker in vivid contrast tc
Lon Clancy who is seen as a crippled
denizen Of San Francisco's Barbary

The presence of Lon CLANCY and
Miss Valli and realistic reproduction
of the San Francisco earthquake and
fire, gives THE Shock" indication OF
being the most dramatic screen offer
ing Of the year.

WHEAT GROWERS TO
FORM ASSOCIATION
State Federation Bulletin

The wheat growers of all of the
Northwest states have decided to
form an association to protect their
interests and to insure an adequate
return on their investment and the
labor involved in the production of
wheat, After having tried every
other panacea offered, the wheat
growers have finally reached the
same conclusion arrived at by the
wage workers when they formed their
trades union movement. They have
decided that the only method by
which an adequate return can be OBJ
tanned is by uniting their forces and
refusing to sell the wheat at a price
lower than that necessary to provide
a proper return on their investment
and the labor involved in the produc-
tion of wheat.
The plan, in substance, agreed upon
is to unite at least So per cent of the
wheat producers into an organization
and to hold their wheat and refuse to
sell at price less than what has been
agreed upon as necessary to meet
production costs and provide a fair
return. They have asked that an
advisory board be established, COM
posed of two representatives from
each of the Northwest states select
ed from people not engaged in wheat
production but representative of the
public, to sit in an advisory capacity
with the direct representatives of the
wheat growers and participate in the
deliberations relative to a proper
price for the wheat producer.
Headquarters of the Northwest as
ISOLATION is located in Portland, Ore.
The president of the State Federation
of Labor has accepted the invitation
of William ]. Brown, president of the
American Wheat Growers, Associat-
ed, to serve as one of the public board
of advisors for the Northwest terri
tory for Washington.

BIJOU
Friday and Saturday.

The theory that producers are seek
ing for screen heroines only tall girls
inclining to the statuesque was blast
ed recently when B. P. Schulberg,
president of Preferred Pictures, sign
ed Ethel Shannon, the smallest adult
player on the screen, to a long term
contract for leading roles in his pro-
auctions. She makes her bow to the
public as featured player in "Daugh-
ters Of the Rich" Edgar Saltus' novel
which has been translated to the films
by Director Cashier and which opens
at the Bijou theater.
TIMER even than Viola Dana who
attained fame as the west pocket
star" Miss Shannon is described by
screen experts as the living embodi-
ment of Griffith's Little Disturber, Z
a screen characterization that served
to place Dorothy Gish at the top rung
of the success ladder. Not only does
she appear to be the realization in
life of the Griffith film personality,
but she succeeds in passing it on to
the screen.
1t may be due to this rare faculty
that Miss Shannon was able to ignore
the ordinary copybook rules of sue
cess and become a leading lady after
exactly three days of experience. Ar
irving in Los Angeles three years ago,
she was given an extra part and when
that role was completed, was chosen
from a long list of applicants to play
the leading feminine part with Bert
Lytell in tits Basy to Make Money"
1t was Miss Shannon's work in
Cashiers production, THE Hero"
coupled with a small role she played
under Director Forman in 1.-THE Girl
Who Came Back" which won her a
contract with Schulberg.

PEOPLE DECIDE ON
WISHKAH STREET

The voters at the special bond cleo
ton held last Tuesday decided to
build a new bridge at Wishkah street
and also to Eebuild the old West
bridge across the Chehalis.
While the vote was very light on
both questions, the bonding of the city
in the sum of 100000 and the loca-
ton of the Wishkah bridge, carried
by substantial majorities.
There was practically no division of
opinion on the location OF the Wish
kah bridge, the vote in favor being
more than seven to one.
There was some opposition to bond
ing the city for the rebuilding of the
bridge across the Chehalis river, the
vote being GA for and 1923 against
The vote on the bonds for the Wish
kah bridge was 1,247 for and 152
against.

The next tube to be wound is the

with 20 turns in all with the same
spacing as the above tube has In the
center, namely sic inch. This IL for
the secondary.
The by inch tube is then wound
with 20 turns and the sic inch spac-
ing In the center is again carefully
adhered to. This Is also for the sec
ondary. The last tube. 8 by 2 inch.
Is wound with 40 turns with the space
In the center left~as per usual. This
last winding is for the ticker.
Fig l shows the winding and spac-
ing. The by 2 inch coll and the
81 by 1 inch coil form one pair of
windings. The by inch tube and
the 3 by inch tube form the second
pair, that is, the second half of the
secondary and the ticker. The
larger tube In each pair Is called the
outside tube or the stator and the
smaller tube is called the inside tube
or the rotor.
In the exact center Of each tube a
quarterback hole much be drilled
through both sides. These two holes
are for the shaft of the rotor and
should therefore be directly opposite
one another.
The brass strip Is now prepared to
become part of the set. First 4-inch
piece of 1t Is cut. Then, referring
to Fig. 2, It Is bent in the shape shown
on the stator coil.
A hole Is then drilled In each end
for use in securing the couplers to
the panel. In the center of the strip
a H-inch hole is drilled for the
shaft to go through. At a distance

two small holes are drilled for fas-
tsning the strip to. the tube. The

sary to first put on the brass strip
that holds the stator coil to the panel
Then the strips that 60 inside Of
the rotor tubes are fastened to their
respective tubes.
The first rotor shaft is the rear
one. This Is placed in the proper
position, and with about a half inch
extending from the outside Of the
stator. The brass tube and the brass
strip Inside the tubing are soldered
together.
The other shafting is then placed
In Its position. The most practical man.
ner to do this Is to place the coupler
on panel and measure the distance
the rod must project from the panel
to take the dials used. Then solder
the rod and the strip together.
The Pigtall Connections
Next In line comes the pigtail con-
nections. These are shown In Fig.
2. Four 6-inch lengths of the fex-
ible wire are cut from the original
piece and two pieces are used for
each coupler.
Two pieces are forced through each
brass tube and the ends are soldered
to the ends Of the rotor winding. The
other ends Of the pigtail connections
are used to connect the rotor to the
external circuit.
