LARGEST SAWS EVER MADE ARE ON WAY TO HOQUlAM;
 1Oe INCHES IN DIAMETER

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 28.-En route from Philadelphia to HoQuiam, Wash, are two circular saws, each los inches in diameter-of the larg- 1 est size ever made.
 These saws were manufactured by Henry Disston & Sons, Inc, and will be used by the Eureka Cedar Lum- Der Manufacturing company for cut i ting giant logs into lengths suitable ! for resawing into shingles.
 Each saw was made from steel ingot weighing 114O poungs. This ! ingot was reheated rolled and trim med until the weight of each finish ed saw was 795 pounds
 The saws are the inserted spiral tooth type. The 190 teeth are sharp ened by automatic machinery with ! out removal from the saw and may ! be replaced when worn out. | The circumference of each saw is more than twenty-eight feet, and the rim when operating at full speed | travels at the rate of 13O miles an l hour
 The practicability of the use of saws of such size was demonstrated in the mill at Hoquiam, where two 108-inch saws of the same make and style were installed in April, 1920, It was found that the 9-foot saws in | creased production and reduced waste Smaller saws could not sev- CT the largest logs compeltely at one operation, making 1t necessary to cut off such logs in sections, result ing in splitting and waste of timber.
 Lumbermen regard saw fifty four inches in diameter as a large saw. The 1O8-inch saws, having twice the diameter weigh more than six times as much as 54 inch saws and have more than four times the area.
 While the 10S-inch saws are the largest circular saws ever manufac- tured, they are approached in size by inserted tooth circular saws used for cutting stone. The Disston plant has made circular saws capable of cutting stone at the rate of sixteen inches minute. These saws are 100 inches in diameter, one-third of an inch thick, weight 800 pounds each and contain 1S0 teeth, in each of which is set diamond for cutting.
 The largest band saws regularly made are sixty-four feet long and eighteen inches wide, with teeth on both edges for cutting on both the forward and backward movement of the log.

PRETTY PAYMENT
 WORTH NOTHING
Almost Cost Girl Love Of Man She Cared
 For

If you felt that gorgeous clothes were the sole barrier between you and the man you loved, what would you do about it? Patrons of the Temple thea tre will have the opportunity of seeing how one beautiful girl solved this prob lem in "The Rejected Woman"
 Alma Rubens takes the part of the girl and Conrad Nagel plays the wealthy, jazz-loving city youth for the love of whom the heroine goes almost one step beyond the limit to get fine clothes to make herself attractive.
 The story deals with the love of a Canadian girl and tremendously wealthy New York youth who meets her in her native environment. She follows him to New York and there discovers immediately that her lack of culture and raiment are insurmount- able obstacles to her marriage to the man. In attempting to overcome these obstacles she falls into a trap laid for her. Her happiness and that of the hero is wrecked-for time. They are extricated from their difficulties in Q climax as intensely dramatic and satis- flying as the most satiated picture audi ence could demand.
 For today and Saturday, the famous Temple Concert Orchestra will feature a selection from the musical comedy, '"The Blue Kitten," by Rudolf Friml, one of the most enjoyable numbers yet heard here, and one of the catchiest se- lections rendered by the orchestra. The orchestra plays the picture productions from 8 to 5:30 o'clock and from ' 80 to II D. m. daily.

GLENN HUNTERS FILM TO SHOW West Of Water Tower At Capitol Two
 Days

Glenn Hunter, the famous young stage star, appears as a star in Para mount pictures under the most favor able auspices in West of the Water Tower" at the Capitol theatre today. Both the star and picture caught on finely, the result being screen enter tainment which will be talked about for many day as the best seen here in two years.
 It is story which deals with small town folk in a masterly manner Mir. Hunter, as Guy Hummer, son of a rigidly orthodox minister portrayed by Ernest Terrence, meets and loves Bee Chew, played by May McAvoy, daugh- ter of wealthy atheist, the latter role being in the capable hands of George Fawcett. The young couple are secretly wed and this incident provokes a near tragedy which has its influence on many lives. But happiness comes at last after series of breath-taking se- quences, all of which will thrill even the most blase picture fan.
 The picture is one that will live long Tn the memory of all who see it. Zasu Pitts featured as the other girl in the story, is admirable as are also all in the cast. Paramount is to be felicitated upon the beauty and charm of this de lightful photoplay.

ONLY TWO DAYS
 TO SEE COMEDY
Potash And Perlrnutter' Gives Way To Chi
 nese Romance

Capacity audiences and roarsS of laughter are marking the week at the Jefferson. The reason is the production of 'Potash and Perlmutter," that un- disputed comedy triumph, by the All- Star Jefferson Players, augmented by Miss Birmingham and the other beau ties in the contest staged few weeks ago. Selmer Jackson and Arthur Byron are at their best in the principal roles, with the company supplying per formances of unusual excellence.
 Everything is in readiness next week for the presentation of that famous success, 'The Love of Su Shong," a drama of love in the Far East.
 eThe Love of Su Shong" has been ac- claimed, by those competent to judge, every whit as entertaining and novel as East. Is West" and even more en- tertaining.
 Dewitt Newing is the author and he has succeeded in evolving play that is not all fiction for many of the scenes and incidents, as well as the main theme for the play, came to him while he was in China during his three years sojourn there.
 Carte blanche was given in the mat ter of expenditure for Oriental cos tuning for the play and no production that ever came to town was given more attention to details as will be given NThe Love of Su Shong." It comes next week and meantime it is well to remind patrons that from the interest already aroused it is a wise precauton to purchase tickets early in the week.

CITY HALL PROBE MAY NOT DEVELOP
RumOrs In Brown Case Now Appear Without
 Foundation

With the grand jury on the road making a tour of inspection of county institutions and only light criminal docket scheduled for Friday morning before he present session closes, 1t l'e- came apparent at courthouse Thursday that few if any developments with re- gard to city hall shortages might be expected in the report which the grand jury will present in open court Fri day afternoon or Saturday morning.
 This was confirmed from informa- tion received from fairly authentic sources, despite Solicitor Jim Davis admission recently that the jury had been investigating" throughout Mon- day, its first day of work during it's present session, and despite F. Hop kinson Smiths 46-minute appearance before the jury Tuesday morning.
 That the docket contains no cases of particular importance shatters ru- mors that have been rife that Lucien Brown, alleged defaulting clerk of the third division of the municipal court. would he called upon this week to tell what he knows about the shortage, placed at $26,000 by state auditors, ex- isting in Judge Thomas Lea's court. Judge Lea was not connected in any way with the deficit, the auditors stat ed in their report, which is now in the hands of c. B. Smith, presiding judge of the tenth judicial circuit.
 Regarding the alleged statement of Commission President D. E. McLen- don concerning purported grand jury testimony, Davis has said repeatedly, II have been busy with other matters, and have not had time to take the thing nn"
