PICTURE TO Be
FOLLOWED At R|ALT0 BY
P0LA NEGRI PRODUCTION

After witnessing Little Robinson
Crusoe." Jackie Coogan's latest
Metro-G oldwin picture, at the Rialto
Theater last night. the wonder aris-
es why this film wasn't made SOON
eri 1t is so obvious that Jackie
should appear in a Juvenile version
OF the famous Robinson Crusoe story
the famous boy star in the immor-
tale of n desert isle.
Only this isle. as pictured by VIII
lard Mack. who wrote the story. is
fan from u~n.nhabited: 1t is filled
with cannibals. and right there is
the material that makes this feature
one of the most humorous and en-
tertaining films of the yea Jackie's
adventures realize to the full every
dream of boyhood days, and It is.
for once, not too much to say that
the picture is a Knockout"
Perhaps the only criticism We can
mako Of this production, which was
supervised by Jack Coogan. ST.. is
that 1t is too short. We could
stand a great deal more Of the com.
edy and adventurous stuff which are
woven SO skillfully into this story.

OREGON LAW ARGUMENT
Oral Statements Made in Supreme Court Today Relative to the Edu- cation Statute.

Washington, March 17.-Oral ar gument was resumed today in the supreme court in the appeals brought by Oregon to have sustained it's law which would require chil- dren between the age of 8 and .l6 attend schools conducted by the state.
 Counsel for the state again en- phasized the contention advanced yesterday that the police powers of the state were equally as potent in matters of education as those of morals and health, and insisted that private and parochial schools could be conducted under the new law in teaching children before or after they had completed the graded public schools. High Efficiency of the public schools of the state was asserted, and the court was told that it should respect the decision of the people at the polls in adopting the new law.
 Counsel for the society of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary and of the Hill Military Academy based their arguments largely upon the ground that the new law would be contiscatory and would deprive those who are con- ducting private and parochial schools. as well as parents within the state, of the liberties and rights guaranteed by the Constitu- tion.

CHINESE STUDENTS
 RESENT CONTROL
Refuse 10 Obey Foreign Teachers so school Is Shut Down; Anti
 Christian Sentiment Waging.

FooChow, March F. - To fore stall proposed strike by students, the Anglo-Chinese college, a middle school here, supported by tho Meth odist Episcopal church, has been closed, the faculty declaring that it intends 10 maintain control rather than surrender to student domina- tion even if 1t results in permanent dissolution of the school.
 The proposal 10 strike was the result of the faculty's refusal to ob- serve a holiday which none of the government schools in Foochow recognizes.
 The school has recently made long strides in the direction of Chi nese control. Fifteen months ago there were 15 foreigners on the staff. Now there are only five, the places of the others having been filled by Chinese of similar educa- tional standards. In addition both deans are now Chinese. One of the latter was stabbed last spring, sup posedly by students who were an gered by one of his rulings. The students in their propaganda are promoting an anti-Christian senti- mcnt.

COMMANDER WHITE
 ADDRESSES LEGION Opening Meeting by Brock
 Barnes Post, Am. Legion
HAS VACCINES AND SERUMS
st. Patrick's Entcrtalnment-Stand- ard Steel Bowling Notcs-Pythian Sisters Social-Plainyillc Brief Items,

State Commander F. l.. White of the American Legion made his in- itial appearance in Plainvllle last night and addressed a large gather- ing of ex-seryicemen who had been invited to attend an open meeting of the American Legion. The meet ing was held as q move in the mem bership campaign being carried on by Brock Barnes Post.
 In his talk Commander White stressed the large potential power back of the Legion and spoke of the various things which could be accomplished by the concerted effort of the members. He appealed to them to forget the fact that they were eE-servicemen, saying that in fighting for this country they simply discharged their duty. However, he said that the organization could be of great service and suggested that they center their effort each year on one major project.
 Commander White spoke of the criticism which some people have for the Legion. saying that some are of the opinion that it was or ganized chiefly for the purpose of affecting the soldiers bonus. He discharged this thought by saying that the money is being used for the relief of relatives of those who went to France and never returned and also for those who are disabled or who are temporarily out of em- ployment,
 One of the matters which war rants the attention of the Legion in the fact that at the present time only one out of every seven in the public schools is being taught American history, Commander White stated. This should be remedied so that prospective citizens will obtain q good grounding in the fundamentals underlying the or ganization of this country.
 In speaking of the current discus sion of another war Commander White said that in the event of an other conscription it should include both man and money. He said that in the time of such a crisis every thing should be at the disposal of the government in it's efforts toward victory. He also said that the money making phase of war should be eliminated as during the last war there were many who amassed fortunes from munitions produc- tions
 State Fund Chairman c. C. Gear borough was also present and de- livered an address in which he spoke of the great responsibility of the Legion. He spoke very fittingly of the great purpose which spurred the American soldiers on to victory and said that it was a feeling which sur mounted any material reason.
 In elaborating on the work of the state fund, Mr. Scarborough said that between $2,500 and $3.0OO is distributed weekly among the rcla- ,tiVes of dead soldiers and those who are disabled or who are unem- ployed. There are about 25O cases which occupy the attention of tho fund although the Reed Johnson bill recently passed by congress puts many cases under the jurisdiction of the Veterans Bureau.
 The appropriation made for the state fund was the most constructive piece of legislation enacted, Mr. Scarborough stated. He said that already about sSoo,o0 has been
