BETTY COMPSON IN
FINE CROOK DRAMA

A woman with four faces! Betty
Compson had an opportunity to emu
late Nick Carter, Old Sleuth, Old King
Brady, Sherlock Holmes and the rest
of the great clan of super-sIeuths in
her new Paramount picture, 1.-THE
Woman With Four Faces" which will
be the attraction at the Kenworthy
theatre for three days beginning
Sunday next.
Not that Miss Compson is a detec-
tive-on the contrary, she plays the
part of a girl crook engaged by the
district attorney, (played by Richard
Dix to help him in ferreting out
great drug combine. Disguised, she
aids him in many ways and wins his
love in the bargain.
One thrill piled on top of another,
all played in the tense and highly
dramatic manner demanded by this
type of story, renders the picture ex-
citing and compelling.
Imagine Betty Compson as an old
woman, or as young waitress In
cheap restaurant! 1t is easier to
imagine her in the role of the girl
crook because she established her
ability to play a part of that sort in
1.-THE Miracle Man. And then there
is the lovely, sweet and aIluring
Betty Compson herself-as she will
appear when reformation has come
unbidden through the channels of
love and mercy. A great supporting

ATTACK OREGON COM
PULSORY SCHOOL LAW

Portland, Ore.-Suit attacking the
constitutionality of the Oregon COM
pulsory school law. enacted at the
general election last November by a
vote of 1856 to ,685, was filed
in the United States district court
here by the Society of The Sisters of
the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary,
an educational corporation that main
tains schools in Multnomah, Jackson,
Marion and WascO counties.
The complaint contends that the
law is void in that it amounts to
an improper seizure of property, an
unauthorized restriction of the rights
of parents, children and teachers and
is a violation of the contract between
the state and schools created under
the state corporation laws.
The defendants named are Governor
Walter M. Pierce, Attorney General
1. H. Van Wrinkle, and District At
torney Stanley Myers of Multnomah
county.
The act assaiIed was an initiative
measure, and it provides that when
it goes into effect in 1925 parents or
guardians of children between the
ages of and 16 shall be required to
send their children to public schools.

POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION
Something harder than steel is
public opinion. In DIFFERENCE to it
the United States Steel corporation is
going to do something it has always
declared impossible, it is going from
12-hour day at the blast furnaces
and rolling mills to an 8-hour day.
The steel mills of darkest Europe
have long been on an 8-hour shift,
now civilized America is going to
treat steel workers as if they were
human beings and not galley slaves.
1t has taken preachers, politicians,
agitators, and a president of the
United States to bring about rever
sal of this hard-boi1ed policy. But |
it has been accomplished. The |
shorter day in the steel mills will be |
a living monument to President Hard |

CONCERNING NORTH AND SOUTH
HIGHWAY

Throughout the state there has of
late been considerable comment re-
lative to the present condition of the
north and south highway between
Weiser and Lewiston, and some Sc
we're criticism has been made in re-
building of difficult stretches in the
Salmon river district. Those who
have kept in touch with the work
over a period of years will realize
that the task is a big one and that
consistent progress has been made.
But a few years ago the north and
south route from Weiser to New
Meadows was next to impossible for
automobiles, but today this stretch
of nearly 100 miles through Wash
ington and Adams counties is in ex-
ce1lent condition. Although the
highway winds its way through
mountains and over the great Mid
vale and Mesa hills and then on up
the valley of the Weiser river to an
elevation of several thousand feet it
is of easy grade and is counted one of
the best in the northwest. This work
called for deep cuts and heavy fills,
and consequently a great expenditure
of funds. The few miles of heavy
construction work that remains to be
done is not great in proportion to

of young and eggs in the rookery. The
white-face glossy ibis is about two feet
tall and has long curved bill. 1t has
a beautiful glossy bronze plumage
which was formerly much in demand
and admired when used as turbans for
women's hats. The birds and plumage
are now protected by both federal and

in the congressional campaign now

# that such statement is entirely

CUT OUT MIDDLEMAN
Stcinmctz Sees This As One Way To
 Aid Distribution

Boston, Feb. 7.-Charles F. Stein- metz. chief consulting engineer of the General Electric Co. in an address prepared for delivery at a luncheon Of the Boston chamber of commerce today said that the problem of the industrial world was to minimize the expenses and profits resulting from distribution by middlemen.
 He suggested that the combinations that had marked production develop ment might make for more economi- cal distribution. but that if would bring disaster if it resulted at the same time in the elimination of a middle class and q segre. gatton into a few very rich capitalists and mass of radical and possibly revolutionary rroletarians.
