might come back alone-they would
see about that later.
The old man was pitifully glad of
this decision. Bunny was all he
had to care about now. In his Sc
cfet heart he must have been humil-
lated before his son, but he had to
go on with the pretense that he
was dignified business man, per-
secuted by INSCRIPTIONS political
enemies. He talked about the mat
ter very little with Bunny, but to
other people he would discourse for
hours; this sudden talkativeness
about his affairs was the most pitt
full of all signs of his weakening.
Bunny wrote long letters to Wee,
telling her the situation and pledg-
ing his love; and to Rachel, turn
ing over the paper to her, and ar
ranging for the thousand dollars
month to be paid to her. Dad
wrote long letters to his efficient
young executives - thank God for
their efficiency right now! They
would keep in touch with him and
Verne by cable; and Verne's agents
in Washington would send the 'low
down" on the investigation. Bunny
arranged to get Dan Irving's
weekly, and the various radical pa
pers he was reading; so father and
son would be in position to carry
on their controversy in Europe!
They spent four days on train
crossing the snowy plains OF Can
ada. 1t was bitter cold outside, but
snug and warm within, and on the
rear of the train was an observa-

Canadian. In an hour or two they
had learned that the great j. Ar

They got to Vancouver in heavy

dropped their uncomfortable alias

Straightway, of course, the news

Dad said with his quiet dignity that
it was all rubbish about their being
fugitives from the Senate investi-
cation, they were American bust
ness men who had come to British
Columbia to consider investments.
That scandal in Washington was
nothing but cheap and silly pom
tics, the leases had been most adj
vantageous to the government, and
as for the Canadian corporation, it
had been an enterprise of great
benefit to Canada. Did MIR. Ross
and his son plan to explore for oil
in British Columbia? asked the re-
porters, eagerly; and Dad said that
he had nothing to communicate as
yet.
Here they were; comfortable in
the physical sense, but mentally
not at all so, in a city which to
them was a frontier place, with
cold weather and nothing of inter-
est. Yet Dad was likely to be in
exile for long time; the new Con-
Dress would be in session half a
year, and the trouble-makers would
certainly keep the oil-scandal going,
so as to have something to use in
next falls presidential election.
Dad sent kilograms to his office,
and wireless messages to Verne on
board ship; and presently came a
reply from Verne requesting Dad
to meet him in London Immediate
ly.
Dad had to go; and then, what
about Bunny? He had his sweet
heart at home, and also his paper,
so perhaps he should return 10
Angel City. But Bunny said nom
sense, it was out of the question
for Dad to cross a continent and
an ocean in winter-time alone. His
son would go with him, and after
they had talked things out with
Verne, they could go over to Paris,
and spend while with BERTHE, and
meet those swell diplomatic friends

"uPSTAGE."

We have had motion pictures de-
voted to the lives of the firemen,
postman, policemen, soldiers, sailors
and many others. Now we can add to
the list picture revealing the human
side of vaudeville actors. And fair
iy good picture at that.
OF course. it has the usual amount
of hokum, nevertheless "Upstage," is
a story Of the vaudeville performers
and at the same time good entertain
ment. 1t tells story and reaches its
climax with an unusual amount Of
intelligence displayed by its director,
Monta Bell. He needs no introduce
ton, having produced many fine pic
lures in the past, obtaining his orig
inal training as an assistant to none
other than Charles Spencer Chaplin.
Norma Shearer is the star, being
ably supported by Oscar Shaw, who
has in the past seen much service in
musical comedies. This has well
fitted him for his role Of "song and
dance man" who selects Dolly, played
by Miss Shearer, as his partner.
When their act is success she quits
him and obtains a new partner, who
is a fizzle.
The rest Of the story is devoted
to the reconciliation and during this
period we have some nice peeks be-
hind the stage. Sylvan A. Pollock.

Bunny worked the trick, and
shook off the other car; then he
left his own in a public garage
for storage, and made the purchase
of a two-passenger closed car I'M
der the name of "Alex H. jones'
The dealers receipt would serve
for license temporarily, and Bun
ny counted out eighteen of his hun
bred dollar bills, and drove away.
Half an hour later he was in the
town of San Pasqual, driving past

Gall hunkydory," he said, at last,
and Bunny asked, "Where are we
going?" The answer was, ITO
Canada; and Bunny, who had been
prepared for anything, took the
boulevard that led north OF San
Pasqual.
While he drove, Dad told him
the news. The first thing, Verne
had skipped to Europe; at least,
his steamer was sailing today, and
it was hoped he had not been
caught. "a. H. Dory" had tele-
graphed to Mrs. Boiling, advising
her that it was absolutely neces-
sary for Mr.. Paradise-that was
Dads code name-to meet his
friends in Vancouver Immediately,
and he must start tonight, other
wise he would be too late for the
appointment. Dad hadn't needed any
further hint; he had learned yes
terday-though he had kept the
painful news from Bunny-that the
Senate Investigators had got wind
Of that Canadian corporation, and
were planning to subpoena all its
organizers. Undoubtedly the sub
poenas had been issued that day,
and telegraphed to Angel City, WIN
instructions to the United States
marshal to serve them at once.
Dad and young Boiling had made
their getaway from the office by
means of fire-escape-more movie
stuff, you see! And here they were,
Alex H. and Paul K. Jones, driving
all night on a rain-battered hlsn-
way, not daring to stop at any
hotel, because a United States mar
shall might be lurking in the lobby;
not daring even to pass through the
big cities, for fear the all-seeing
eye of their irate Uncle Sam might
be spying from a window!

The principal softWood mills of the
country during the nine weeks ended
March had sold II per cent more
than they produced, while in the cor
responding period of last year the eX-
cess of sales over cut was Ii per cent.
SoftWood lumber has not yet had time,
therefore, to reject the stronger Situ-
alton that is deVelop,l g, though mill
prices do show more firmness.
Retail yards have just begun to
move lumber to jobs, and they have
had little need for other than film
asSortments. None of the lumber pro-
ducing regions have heavy stocks, and
a good many of the retail distributors
have been buying SO cautiously that
their holdings are at low point, so
that the starting up of the Spring
movement from the mills is expected
to bring about an early advance in
quotations. as in general softwoods
are selling at unprofitable levels.
Hardwood demand is said to be
broadening out, sales at automobile
plants continuing good while more
business is coming from the furniture
makers. Building trades demand for
such items as flooring and trim
normally lagS a few weeks behind
that for other construction items but
the outlook for good sales of such
material and of export items is now
very promising. Buying has been con
fined largely to few industries. and
these have been taking only their cur.
rent needs. SO that prices have re-
manned rather weak. but they are ex.
pected to show early gains.

Presence of the tussock moth on
Indianapolis park and lawn trees
has been reported to George Nor
gan, assistant park superintendent.
The newly Matched caterpillar is
pale, sometimes yellow tinted and
covered with long hairs, Morgan
said. The grown larva is about one
and one-half inches long, with four
white tussocks, or branches, on its
back, behind which are two shiny,
red warts. The head is brilliant
coral red with fringe of white
hair.
Two black plumes are behind the
head and one black and two yellow
stripes down the back. Larva seek
sheltered positions and spin silken
cocoonS. Eggs are deposited and
two weeks later young caterpillars
appear. Leaf structure, except the
midrids, is devoured by the moth.
A thorough application of spray,
composed of As pounds of arsenate
of lead paste, or 2-3 pounds of
powder to so gallons of water, as
soon as moths appear, is recon-
mended. Eggs should be destroyed.
Branding trees with tanglefoot will
