NEW TO-DAY
VICTORIA MAKES
BID FOR MOVING
PICTURE FIRMS

VICTORIA, B. G. ~ Letters have
gone out from the Victoria and Is
land Publicity Bureau to the leading
moving picture companies at Holly
wood stressing the suitability Of
Vancouver Island as venue for the
film industry and pointing out the,
scenic and climatic advantages Vic
toria and its environs offers. The
invitations to the screen magnates
follows the receipt of letters from
Victorians in California pointing oft
that virtually what amounts to n
panic exists in the moving picture
colony with leading firms talking OF
pulling away from the region.
The Victoria Publicity Bureau will
make a strong bid to bring some Of
the moving picture companies to Vic
toria The industry, it is pointed out
enue for Los Angeles, gives employ
ment to tens of thousands and Gre
ates huge volume of trade. Land
for sites is available in Victoria, and
scenery more varied and more appro-
pirate than in any part of California.
Land values play an important
part in the fight for the industry.
The increase in land values in the
Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Culver
City district is given as the main
reason fhy several of the firms con
template moving from Los Angeles.

T r'y Eliminating ! Trimming On
 Your Frock

NE YOU want a smart, distinctive
 frock of semi-formal type for sum-
 mer wear why not achieve it by one Z of the simplest methods possible, elim- ating all necessity for trimming, and employ one of the lovely gay printed silks to share honors with some plain silk or satin?
 E You know, as rule. we associate the printed silks with afternoon dresses, but recently the high class printed silks have achieved such ar- stistic merit, both as regards design and coloring, that they assume of dignity and elegance Their effects are i,inique and cannot be gained by any other means. Of course, there are many types of printed silks, and I have reference only to those of the highest order, but the woman who chooses with discrimination will have a frock fthat breathes of an artistic atmos phere and bears the stamp of individu- nlity.
 One design shown suggests an ideal manner of combining sumptuously patterned silk with a plain flat crepe, A green background printed in white, with perhaps a line or two of yellow gpr black, would be pretty combined With either plain green or black. The lines are so simple they need no ex- plaining, but I might remark that the sproportions are important. Always plan a frock like this by holding the materials against you while standing before full length mirror. On some figures the tiers of the skirt might look better gradated rather than all the same size. This may be done without affecting the general style of the frock.

CHATTER 161 | SUPPOSE Roscoe had already secur- lS ed a dancer sue has he wanted
 The idea brought thrill of fear, yet also strange throb of hope. Ma rian dreaded dancing in big city. Yet, if she did not get work there, where would you get itT She was ready, with her hat and coat on. when George Dixon drove up to the door for her.
 T want you to take me to the post office so that a letter I have written will catch the 5 o'clock mail to New York;" she said. T also want to buy a special delivery stanmp."
 All right!" George said genially. What you say goes!'
 At the postoffice she insisted on mailing her letter herself. She did not i care to have Dixon see the address on it.
 Yet when she had accomplished her errand and was again seated at Georges side, she told him of her in terview with Frederic Parker. George listened gravely.
 Go to it, kid P he approved. But you may find New York a sort of dreary place at first. Dancing there looks like a rather jolly job, but, Gee, it's hard work, and I guess it's lonely work for stranger, too"
 Most of life is lonely at times," the girl said brusqeuly.
 Her companion looked at her sympa- thetically. You're a bit young to have found that out" he observed.
 I'm bit young to have found out lots of things! !" she rejoined. But I have, just the same. One of them is that it's not safe to pity ones self. Now" abruptly, tell me about your self"
 He saw that she wanted to change the subject, and he was glad of the op- portunity to talk of the peach of a girl" who was visiting in Fairtown.
 If she'll have me, I'm hers," he said at last, with an attempt at laugh that did not conceal the true feeling back of it. q hope you'll know her some time? Marian /
 T would like to-" the girl said gent. ly. "I hope she will moke you happy. dear George. You deserve it."
 Deserve it nothing!" was the gruff rejoinder. "I say, Marian, you're a star, all right, letting me gabble about my affairs and being so glad for me when things look so dark for you P
 "I'm going to be all right" the girl said confidently. Then-"Oh, George, see who's here r'
 K Dixon had slowed down his car to turn a corner. As he did so the Rev. Harold Sumner started across the Street. He stopped and flushed scar let as he recognized the pair in the car. Then hastily, he lifted his hat and walked on.
 "He looks as uncomfortable as if he, and not you, had been caught at DeLisle's last night!' was Georges amused yet angry comment.

Settling Their Status

ILTNHEYRE a bride and groom" ~~ vouchsafed the acute observer
 as a piece of interesting news, nodding toward a couple of chairs far tber down the aisle. First he said, shan't I raise the window, dearest, and in the next breath he wanted to know whether he shouldn't lower the shade darling. He doesn't read the newspaper more than a minute at stretch with out finding something in it to show her and distinctly saw her pick thread off his coat second ago!"
 Maybe not" argued the contrary man, scowling thoughtfully. ''They don't look very young. Maybe they've just had a hard quarrel and she won out and he's trying to get back into her good graces. Their luggage isn't shiny and he's wearing a suit that is not new, SO"
 "All clever bridal couples 80 away in their old clothes," the acute ob- server objected. ''The minute they es- cape from the keen eyes of the reporters and envious friends they put on or dinary apparel and try to appear in different to one another in public.
 ''No doubt this man considers that he is being cold and careless. He has brought her a drink twice in the last half hour and had the porter lug in a menu card so that he could give unin- terrupted study to composing a meal suitable for one so precious as herself. She said she thought roast pork and apple sauce would be good and he was horror stricken. No, he said, they would have chicken la king and hang the expense"
 II am more than ever convinced they are merely an old married couple in a moment of truce after the battle," de- clared the contrary man. "The fact that they will waste time considering mere food proves it! No bride and groom have any idea what they are eating or care.
 When a married man finishes a family fight and all is again serene his thoughts immediately turn toward food. Either he takes his wife out and buys dinner at the most extravagant restaurant or else he says c'mon, dearie, let's you and me fix up some mushrooms in the electric cooker and I'll rush something good to drink, what say? Every married woman recognizes a move like that as equivalent to an apology and behaves accordingly.
 But take your bride and groom after brief misunderstanding they

5 INTERVIEW WITH TRAPROCK The Famous Explorer Tells Of Foot
 ball As Played In Philberts

Chappell ("Captain Traprock")-All my writer friends say am brilliant architect, and all my architect friends say am corking writer, but my real profession is playing billiards. I used to claim I always built the houses to reflect the client, and almost all the houses I've built are low and rambling. I like football, and I've seen it played in every corner of the globe. In the Philberts they used to play with light ball made of fish membrane. It was rather difficult to get through a whole game, because every time the ball was punted it would be caught up by the trade winds and not come back for about six months.
 The Eskimos make marvellous football players, because they are so covered with oil all the time that it is inn possible to hold a runner. He would slip right out of your hands. They play on very rudimentary skates made from the spine of the guppy. A guppy tis a very interesting fish that I dis covered all by myself. It is the only fish that lays it's young without the intermediate egg stage. 1t lays them Uniformed, as 1t were. z->
 Young Boswell Then there isn't any guppy caviar?
 Chappell-No, but if there were it would be delicious, being such a deli cate fish, but unfortunately there isn't any. guess I win. Shall we have another little game ?-"People You Know" by Young Boswell" (Boni and Liveright).

We Women
By BETTY BRAIDERD Two Sides Of A StOrv


 A GENTLEMAN who says he is 6 A foreigner and signs himself R G." writes me a most interest ing letter. Itis too long to answer at one sitting. He takes exception to all article I wrote praisirg American wo- men. To quote from his letter ha says:
 Docs an American man, in youI opinion, respect his womenG Not in my opinion. It is more oi fear, slavery and inferior;tv that he feels toward women, to whom he cannot give enough thrill and is thoroughly unin- teresting. The attitude of an American man toward your sex is undoubtedly the poorest one of all nations. He may be a good worker, good business man, but he is no real man. It is for this reason that your women do not respect your men and display their contempt at any opportunity.
 ''It seems that for a woman marriage is everything, but in no other country does a woman marry so unhapily as here. How can the American woman feel happy if she is environed by men of poor intellectually, whom she re- gards as her interiors and for whom she has no respect at all? This is the only country in the world where a wo- man rules and dominates the man, which only shows the low culture of such O man.
 "If you would be well acquainted with the life of France, Italy and Spain you would find that the European wo- man is happier and you also would learn to respect men better than you perhaps do."
 hope there are not many foreigners who feel toward us as this man does. l believe the continental viewpoint of men toward women ismore or less one of contempt. It is generally held that the husband and wife are one, and that one is the husband.
 In this country husband and wife are two distinct individuals, and we do not hesitate to let ourselves be heard. It is not that we disrespect our hus- bands, but there is more of a spirit of fellowship and comradeship and the idea of talking things over until an un- derstanding is reached.
 The gallantry and refinement which continental men display toward us is usually apple sauce" and conversa- tion--conventional and hollow polite ness. There is much more sincerity 10 a good old hand-shake than there is to a salute from the hips and kissing our hands.
 do not agree with my correspondent that we rule and dominate our men. If we had them in the hollow of our hands we would not have such a strug- gle to dress, powder, rouge and "bob" as we see fit

Grooms who leave their wives for the smoking room with a sad, plying glance, which says that if the older wives were only as wonderful as the brides they wouldn't dream of things like smokes and chats with masculine acquaintances Nope-these two are long married and merely making up, tell you!"
 Well" the acute observer landed triumphantly, T didn't tell you this he waited patiently several minutes while she disentagled her hairnet from his sleeve button where it had caught when she bent over and didn't jerk away and growl, Oh, heck, can't you just break the darned thing?"
 Did he?" grasped the contrary man in great surprise. Well, then, guess you win! I'll bet they haven't been married more'n week or two!'

FIND A NEW HOLLYWOOD
Ailanthus, Imported From China, First
 Thought To Re Useless


 Wood from the ailanthus, otherwise known as the tree of heaven, which was imported from China into Pennsyl- vania and New York and is rapidly be- coming a weed and a menace in those states, has been discovered by the forest products laboratory to be an excellent pulpwood. A half cord of ailanthus wood, sent by the Pennsylvania state department of forestry to the labora- tory with the hope of finding some use for it, was made on the experiment tai paper machine into a good grade of book paper.
 The. wood, which is pulped by the soda process, gives a high yield of pulp. Since it bleaches very easily, the product can be used in the manufacture of book, Autograph and writing paper. The growth of the ailanthus tree is rapid. In New Zealand the ailanthus is said to produce twenty-five tons of wood to the acre every three years.- American Lumberman.

Baby's Bands

One Mothere Says:
 The best band for the new baby is flannel, of course, but the finest fan nel sometimes irritates the tender skin. I buy a yard of china silk and line the bands, cutting the silk half an inch larger all around and basting flatly by turning this over the edge of the fan mel. If either shrinks more than the other fabric, pull out the basting thread, press and haste over again. Keep all wrinkles out of baby's clothes to make him comfortable.
