New Dover opera House. Dover

Monday and Tuesday More than
forty acres of ground were occupied
by the reproduction of a Canadian
frontier village and fort used in the
filming of ''The Flaming Forest" The
picture features Antonio Moreno and
Renee Adoree, supported by cast of
more than twenty celebrated players.
The village, which was under construc-
tion for more than a month before
camera was cranked, was the largest
motion picture set of its kind ever
constructed and was a faithful repro
duction of a frontier town and stock
ade Of the early seventies before Can
ada ever made any real attempt to
govern the three hundred thousand
square miles known as the Northwest
Territory. It was at first planned to
film the entire production on the Can
adian locales described in the famous
book BY James Oliver Curwood, but
this was given up when it was learned
that the original locales have been
''marred" for picture purposes by the
encroachment of civilization. The set
was then built in the mountains of
California on spot which in every
way fitted Curwood's description. Fol
lowing the filming Of the village seen
es the company of more than five
hundred players were taken to Mon
tana and to several additional loca-
tions in the California Sierras. Among
the supporting cast of players are:
Gardner James, borrowed from the
Lasky studio; Oscar Beregi, borrowed
from Universal, and Bert Roach and
Tom O'Brien, two of M-G-M's featur-
ed players.

Saturday-Attendance at the New
York showings of "Upstage" were
materially increased through the med
ium of a radio talk broadcast by Mrs.
Adele F. Woodland, president of the
National Motion Picture League, over
Station WEAF. This is a weekly re-
view given as courtesy and for pub
lie information. Her message was as
follows: eve were delighted with the
picture "Upstage' which is just COM
ing out in the theatres. 1t features
Norma Shearer, this beautiful and
talented actress, as a young girl who
comes to New York to make her for
tune. She thinks she has found the
secret of winning her way in the
world but soon discovers that it takes
more than beauty to gain success.
Having learned this lesson we see her
rebuilding a career which has almost
been shattered This delightful pic
ture is entitled 'Upstage' and it is re-
leased by Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer"
Monday-A love story by the great
est romanticist of her time! A love
story from the tingling pen of the late
Laura Jean Libbey, whose throbbing
tales of young romance, kept million
hearts in a constant state of palpita-
ton for many years. "a Poor Girls
Romance" is a modern version of the
authors best loved tale; a story print
ed and reprinted in every language
in the civilized world and read and re-
read by countless persons everywhere
Love interest is naturally the keynote
of "Poor Girls Romance. It deals
in a colorful way with the love story
of young society man and beauti-
full girl, reared in humble circum-
stances.

What My Neighbor Says:
is of Interest to Spokane Folks.

When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills-and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that
persons advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbours. The following
case is only one of many thousands,
but it is that of Spokane resident.
Who could ask for a better example?
Mrs. George Bulls, e. 2127 Sprague
Ave-, says: "My back ached awfully
and homework was great hardship.
1 didn't know what to do when dizzy
spells came on for lots of times I
nearly fell. l felt tired and worn out
all the time and my kidneys were dis
ordered, too used Doans Pills and
they relieved me-" Statement given

often without too great tax on,

is attended to we try to develop in
our girls a self-reliance which will
at all times make them able to look
after themselves.
Gin developing self reliance, the
overnight hiking trips are an essen.

the Camp Fire Girls camp schedules.
On these hikes-not so strenuous
but what all the girls can join in
the mixers carry their own roll OF
bedding, build their own fires, cook
their own food. Naturally, they are
accompanied by experienced and re-
liable councillors, but encourage
ment is given the girls to carry on
the actual program of the trip them

"The regular daily schedule pro-
vides for swimming, boating, nature
lore, drilling for posture, hand-craft
work, singing and dramatics. Care
is also. taken that time is left each
girl to develop the particular activ-
ity in camp which most interests her.
We want plenty of opportunity for
individual initiative, as well as the
display of cooperation and team
work"
Registration for Camp Fire Camps
may be made through any local
guardian or by writing the national
headquarters at 81 East Seventeenth
Street, New York. The fee ranges
from five to ten dollars week de-

For some $4,000 parents, at least,
the problem Of where to send daugh-
ter for her vacation is solved. With
in the next few days or weeks nearly
one hundred camps, with capacity of
from 25 to 100 girls, will open under
the leadership of Camp Fire Girls.
The camps are scattered from Maine
to California and from Georgia to
Washington and are open to all girls
between the ages of eleven and
eighteen. The most modest of fam
lily budgets can provide for them,
and the most cautious mother may
be assured that her daughter is we'll

$4,000 girls spent one week or more
in these vacation camps.
ITO make quite sure that parents
are put at their ease as to how the
girls are getting on" says Miss
Dorothy Doremus, Director of the
Camp Fire groups Of New York and
vicinity, 1--WE insist that each girl
write home regularly. The very first
thing on the program, in fact, after
the girls arrive in camp, is letter
or "a gr Getting card to father and
mother telling them of their safe
arrival. We encourage sending the
cards, at least, as often as possible,
SO that the vacation may be rest
for parents as well as daughters.

ing cards are perhaps preferable, as

THE STORY OF A LUMP OF COAL.

There are instances of countries
such as China where there are great
coal reserves but where industrialism
has never flourished insofar as power
is concerned
Coal has many competitors. The
most vigorous one at the present time
is petroleum. AS long as petroleum
is abundant and comparatively cheap
it will always be used as one of the
sources of power. Another compete
tor is water power which when once
developed will presumably last in.
definitely. Water power is limited in
quantity and can take the place of
coal only in small way
There are good many products
which come from coal and which are
used in varying quantities from time
to time. Coal lends itself to process
of treatment whereby certain gases
and liquids are expelled leaving "a
residue of coke One of the liquids
driven off is a substance closely re-
lated to petroleum and which may be
refined into such things as gasoline
kerosene, etc. A hundred years age
on the Atlantic Coast coal was dis
titled and an Illuminating oil OBJ
tanned which was called coal oil, The
name was later transferred to kero
sene when liquid petroleum was de-
rived from wells.

FERRY LINES WORRY

In the old Puget Sound steam

"Liquid Cotton"

Among the most interesting ro-
mances of American business today
is the story of Liquid cotton" which
has conquerer new Industrial fields in
Illinois, in the great Middle West and
the nation, says the Fairfield Qowa)
Ledger-Journal.
Thanks to the creative genius of
the chemist two great industries have
been developed in the United States
recently as result of the successful
mixing of butyl alcohol with cotton.
The first industry produces the By
bug which makes butyl alcohol, one
Of the principal solvents used by the
second industry in New Jersey which
manufactures liquid cotton" finish
for wood and metal surfaces.
In the first years of it's use, liquid
cotton" in the form of Duco, on the
authority of Chemical and Metal
lurgical Engineering" "has had a
spectacular influence on the paint and
yarnish industry, and promises to
revolutionize the finishing of wood
and metal products. 1t has created
new period in furniture, due to the
demand which the new product has
developed among women, and it has
been used on the bodies of some two
million automobiles( buses, street
cars and railway trains"
Chemists can put kick" enough
into a bale of cotton to sink a battle
ship. Cotton was used during the
war in the manufacture of "airplane
DOPE" liquid which made the wings
of airplanes tough, waterproof and
firm. Chemists are also changing
cotton into ivory or amber for pyralin
toilet articles. They can convert it
into hundreds of other forms which
neither in appearance, texture nor
general properties, bear the remotest
resemblance to the cotton which
mothered them. Among these is fab
rikoid, leather-like substance which
|
replaces leather in many varied uses.
The order which the manufacturer
gave the chemist was to produce an
air-drying finish as tough and dur
able as baked enamel, yet with the
beauty of color varnish; a finish Of
sufficiently low viscosity to be applied
with a pneumatic spray, yet carrying
large enough proportion of solids to
have the build and covering capacity
of the best varnish or enamel; and
surface that. could be applied to the
cheapest toy or the most costly piece
of furniture with the minimum ex-
pense for labor, time and equipment.

Towns Raise Fund for
Okanogan-C ariboo Trail

OKANOGAN.- Sam Elliott of Ke
lowna, president of the Okanogan-
Cariboo Trail Association, has advised
G. e. Blackwell of Okanogan that the
principal Canadian towns along the
route have. pledged funds that will
give the association more than double
the budget under which publicity work
was carried on last year. Penticton
has agreed to raise $1,000, Kelowna
and Vernon have pledged $500 each
and Kamloops will raise from $500 to
$1,000.
Mr.. Blackwell informed the Com
mercial Club that the field secretary
of the association would commence a
campaign to raise funds in the towns

BY HENRY LANDES
Dean of the College of Science,
University of Washington.

1t is an old saying that coal is petri-
fled sunshine. When you take the sub
stances which go into the nourish-
ment of plant life, concentrate them
in a solid form, and retain them for
later use by human beings, the ex-
preston petrified sunshine turns out
to be really true.
A lump of coal belongs to the car
bon family. This family is one of the
most distinguished within the earth
and has several branches. One Of the
near relatives of lump of coal is
petroleum. A cousin of our lump Of
coal is the diamond which the repre-
sentative most often found in the So
ciety columns.
1t is we'll established that coal be-
gan as an accumulation of vegetal
matter in swamps. Later the yegetal
material, after it had become many
feet in thickness, was covered over
by such things as clay and sand, and
this overburden endured for probably
good many thousands of years. In
this time the vegetal matter was COM
pacted and solidified taking on jet
black color and developing into the
coal we burn. There are many kinds
of coal ranging from peat to anthra-
cite.
1t is the ambition of our lump of
coal to be very useful to mankind.
Probably the greatest use in cold
countries at least has been in keep
ing people warm. In all countries
where coal may be had, the latter
uses Of coal has been in the develop
ment of power. 1t is our greatest re-
source in this respect. 1t is the rule
in industry to locate near the source
of power and that accounts for the
fact that regions of ample coal re-
sources usually mark the places of
many manufacturing plants.
1t is true that no nation has become
of great prominence industrially I'M
less 1t has had the use of great guam
titles of coal produced either at home
or in countries so nearby that trans
portation has been inexpensive.

Boy Scouts Thrifty

The Boy Scouts are active campaign
ers in the cause of thrift. The Ninth
Scout Law reads in part:
'He saves his money so that he
may pay his own way. Be generous
to those in need, and helpful to wor-
thy objects"
Before he can advance to second
class rank, a scout must earn and
deposit $1.OO in a public savings bank,
and he may not be a first-class scout
