Miss Radebaugh points out also
that the old prejudice against night
air is dying out, and that it is known
that night air is even purer than day

HaIIS-MiIIS Secrecy

The conspiracy Of silence that
has deepened and darkened the

Stricken consciences that had
nothing to do with this crime have

Hundreds OF people were accus-
toned to visit the place. some of
them young. happy and innocent,
some OF them clandestinely and
keeping company they did not want

There is every reason TO suppose
that the "lane" harbored its usual
coterie on tho night OF Sept. IL. 1922,
when the Rev. Edward w. Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills were muir
dered. In fact. one witness has
testified that the reason he got no
nearer the fatal scene was because
Of the great number Of parked cars.
Enough has been brought out in
one way or another to show that
several mouths were sealed by com

A WORTHWHILE DREAM

Herbert Hoover Secretary of Commerce. is
now in the northwest speaking tour largely de-
voted to the development of water resources
In speech before the Columbia River Basin
League at Seattle Saturday evening he declared that
we must today make plans for the development of
a great waterways system which can be put into
operation within the next twenty-five years
Development of our streams and rivers, Hoover
says can add to our resources 100000 acres of
productive land, which despite our present over
production, will be badly needed for growing food
crops in twenty thirty years.
Streams and rivers within our country can offer
us 55,000OO0 horse power of which we have to date
harnessed only 100000 A big inland Waterways
system will develop the middle industrlally and
will make it possible to ship both manufactured
goods and agricultural products at a reasonable
transportation figure.
There is, Hoover declares, possibility of 25 900
continuous miles of inland waterways, of which to.
day only 1000 miles have been modernized, and these
In such condition that they are not very usable
Eighteen Statesl would Immediately benefit If
canals on the Great Lakes system were deepened to
twenty-five or thirty-foot shipways. Great Lake
ports would Immediately become ocean ports
For only about 125,000,000 a modern transporta.
ton system of nine thousand miles of connected
waterways, serving twenty States, can be made OF
the Mississippi system. 1t would furnish complete
north and south trunkine across the Nation through
the lakes from Duluth through Chicago to the Gulf
of Mexico, and an east and west system from Pitts.
ourgh to Kansas City.
Hoover's vision is spendid in its possibilities
and it is to be hoped that carefully planned rivers
and harbors bills, free from pork. will be passed by
coming sessions of Congress to make the dream
true.

Darning Socks

Why does "darning socks" play
such an important part in the mar
riage relation?
Why do we hear so much about
it and so little about other wifely
duties that seem just as essential?
Is the sock symbol of the con-
queror's foot on his victims neck?
Is that why the husband likes to
have his wife darn socks" or why
she resents doing it,?
Figure it any way you like. but
the minor, IL not ignominious,
function has probably caused more
trouble between husband and wife
than any other domestic duty.
And now we find 1t leading to
murder.
Young Claytonu Van Doran, Of
Council Bluffs, Iowa. killed his wife,
because her refusal to darn my
socks angered me more than any
thing that ever occurred In my life. 4"
He struck her first, knocking her
down stairs, and then choked her to
death, holding his fingers about her
throat for five minutes.

lows, later to be translated into an effort TO lift
to higher plane all life
HIS impress upon the thought and character of
the city is not be measured His place and his
vision will be much more permanent than that of

THE Show-Of" as a Paramount
feature is one of those delightful
affairs which makes a fellow willing
TO part with real money to see it..
Acting honors go to Ford Sterling as
the wise boy who talked so much
about himself that he thought he
was n railroad president. AS THE
Show-Off," Sterling is easily giving
his best comedy characterization. It
is a bully part and gives the coined
ian a chance to dominate every
scene. Next to William c.. Fields.
Sterling Is ore Of our best natural
funmakers. Both men have khe
trick. or rather artistry in improv-
ing good material when 1t is given
them.
As the "show-off." Sterling is the
strutting. talking windbag that he
is supposed to do. I think that
Sterling handed me as many laughs
as l have ever had in any one
picture.
Was rather disappointed In Lois
WILSON as she isn't the type for the
part she is playing. I may be wrong
in the conception OF the role, but I
have the feeling that someone else
could have registered with more
ease and naturalness.
Might say that THE Show-On' is
really a Christmas present given by
the producers to the public in
August instead of December.
Know that I will be asked If the
movie follows the stage play. Very
few liberties have been taken with
the original text. OF course there
are many scenes in the movie which
were not in the play. but they were
discussed in the play. For example,
the automobile accident that the
ShowOff has. II was discussed and
implied in the stage play. but the
movies make it one of the big comedy
scenes Of the film.
Ford Sterling has established him
self as a leader in comedy roles by
his work in THE Show-off."
Bill includes a Buster Brown
comedy. a news real, music by Emil
Seidel and his orchestra and organ
music by Lester Huff.
At the Apollo all week.
