VETS, WITH NEW
 MEN ON ROSTER, TO PLAY MOOSE
L e zion Club, Materially Reinforced Is Expected
 to Stage Comeback

A greatly strengthened and re- inforced American Legion baseball club will face the Moose tonight when those two teams tangle at City Park, playing the game post poned from July 5. Manager FL lis of the Vets is confident he has the strength, offensive and defen- sive, to meet either of the other clubs on even terms.
 Mclaughlin, who has been sport ing a sore pitching arm since his first appearance this season, is about back in form again. If he shows up all right in the bullpen tonight in warmup practice, he will be used against the Paps. Oth- erwise, Laymon, obtained from the Tallapoosa, probably will be used by Ellis.
 The Moose probably will work Osborne aiainst the Vets. He hasn't had any exercise since he turned back the Elks over a week ago. The game will start at 6:3o pm.

CAPITOL PLAY
 IS REALISTIC
 STORY OF SEA
Gilbert, Polly Moran and Fully Featured in Way
 for a Sailor

The sometimes humorous, some time stirring but always dramatic adventures of a group of hard boiled seamen furnish the interest in Way for a Sailor Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer talking picture, which opened at the Capitol theatre last night and which will be shown again tonight.
 John Gilbert, star, and Wallace Beery, who. portrays his brawny mate on a British freighter, give capable performances in the vivid picturization of Albert Richard Wetjen's well-known sea yarn.
 Carefree, Staggering Sailors
 The roles of the carefree, indo- lent sailors who swagger from one saloon to another, leaving broken bottles and overturned tables be- hind and in the same manner turn from one sweetheart to another leaving broken hearts behind, seem to have been made to order for the cast, which in addition to Gilbert and Berry includes Polly Moran and Jim Fully.
 The picture, with it's storms at sea, is replete with realism. The story glorifies the traditions of the sea, and of wives and Sweethearts who stay ashore and wait for their men.
 Gilbert cuts a rollicking figure as the hero, a reckless chap who takes his fun where he finds it un- til he meets the kind of a girl he doesn't know anything about.
 Climax of Romance
 The romance is chmaxed in mid ocean rescue of the crew of a laundering tramp steamer.
 Sam Wood directed The sea has a lure Wood has caught it and put it on the screen.
 Leila Hyams, as the leading lady, offers an artistic performance and lends charm against the sordid background of the Liverpool dock scenes.
 Jim Fully fits well into the ship board fraternity.
 Polly Moran and Doris Lloyd give fine performances in water front characterizations.

ISOLATION OF FAMILIES
 CALLED AID TO EVOLUTION

BALTIMORE, Md, July 15.-One big fact to account for origin of species of isolation-separation of families.
 This discovery is reported to the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science by Dr. w H Longley of Boucher college as re- suit of applying mathematical stu dies to millions of known species of plants and animals.
 The study of species in their numerical relations in their genera, ? he says, and in relation to the areas they occupy, shows that no species-making occurs without ef- fective isolation of the differen- tiating groups

In the course of the eighteen years he has been drawing Bring ing Up Father" the famous comic published by The Empire, George McNIanus has used more than 6,000 funny stories and gags.
 John B. Kennedy, associate edi tor of Golfers Magazine, induced him to select those he liked best and tell them over the radio. Here are the choice ones that give the King of Cartoonists," as Kennedy halls h.m. his biggest laughs:
 "A mother and her son were listening in on the radio. As one program ended, a new announcer took up the task of informing lis teners about what was coming next.
 Willie, don't get so close to the loud speaker, the careful mother warned. That announcer talks as though he had bad cold'.'

 Don't you think you'd have bet ter luck if you asked for dime or quarter?" I wanted to know.
 Give me whatever you want the beggar said, pocketing the quar- ter I handed out. But don't try to tell me how to run my busi- ness"
 No collection of stories can be complete without the one about the Scotsman who was standing on a bridge as a boat capsized in the stream below. The rover plung- ed into the water, sank twice and came to the surface again Just as he was about to go down the third time the watcher called out:
 If you don't come up this time, can I have the boat'?"
 "A patron of a speakeasy missed his watch and complained to the proprietor that he believed another patron had stolen it. The speak easy owner promised to investigate and returned shortly with the miss ing timepiece.
 "'I ought to go over and punch that guys nose, said the offended patron.
 Please don't, said the speak easy owner. He doesn't know I got it."
 He was the son of a frugal Jew ish father.

Thirty Enroll
For Night School

On last Monday evening thirty
pupils appeared for enrolment at the
first session of night school, Several
more will be added to the list when
classes meet Thursday evening. This
response was rather surprising to those
in charge of the work. Since the sue
cess of this term of work was to de-
termine future continuation of the
work 1t would seem that longer ses-
sion next winter is practically assured.
The committee in charge wish par
ticularly to make known that the
night school must be self-supporting,
and that none of the expense is to be
paid out of high school funds.
Several subjects have been added to
the original list, and in compliance
with the request of those enrolled the
curriculum is as follows: Citizenship,
English, public speaking, tipping. short
hand, bookkeeping and business prac-
tice.
Glasses will meet on Mondays and
Thursdays for eight weeks.

BEVERLY HILLS-Well all know
is Just what I read in the papers. I
was Just reading thing here where
just exactly 100 years ago there was
long Editorial in the papers asking
the people not to get panicky, that
they had had bad year, but that
Fundamentally the Country was
sound" and that they looked for
things to pick up that there had been
an Overproduction of Overshoes, Red
Underwear, Knitted Sox. and Newby's.
You remember Newby's? They was
long nitted thing about the length OF
a well rope, that you wrapped and
rewrapped around your nekx and also
tied EN- over your ears.
Then there was too many lanterns
on the market, for the amount Of
night work that was being done. There
was also q glut Of the Market on
Moustache Cups. The Men wasent
buying them like the Producers had
thought, they was just letting the old
upper lip foliage drain right through
the Coffee. It told of the evils Of
Mass production, that you shouldn't
produce faster than the buying power.
If remember / think the Republicans
were In then too. And oh yes they
was going to try and get the Farmer
some relief, going to give them some
ammunition so he could shoot him
some meat to eat. oh Yes, they was
going to work on the roads too. The
President has just appointed some
. Commissions, one too look into and
see what the Boys was drinking. Now
! all this was Just exactly 100 years
ago, so you see every 100 years we
(, have what is humorously referred too
as depression Its always temper
airy. That 1t happens every 100 years
proves that 1t will pass away.
Biggest excitement over the holi-
days was 1.-THE Young Pioneers" of
New York. They put on a Burlesque
Of Xmas, and the birth Of our Saviour,
and the Xmas Spirit, that must have
been mighty gratifying to their Par
ents. A Xmas In Russia would lust
suit them fine. But you just try to
pay the fares Of any of them and offer
to send EN-, and you would have to
call out the Marines. The old Com
munist breaches his doctrines, but he
wants to do 1t where he is enjoying
the blessings Of Capitalistic surround
ings. He breaches against the Pie, hut
he sure eats 1t.

HOUSE WARMING AT
r. CARL sTEEN HOME


On Saturday evening about 40 of
their friends took Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Steen by storm, and came to tell them
how glad they were that their new
house was finished. The evening was
spent in dancing and good old
fashioned kind of time In general.
Dick Stafford was present to make one
of his inimitable speeches as he pre-
sented the rug which the guests had
brought for Mr.. and Mrs. Steen.
The Steen home, on the Colvos road,
has been added to, and practically re-
built by John and Chris. the sons still
at home. 1t is perfect in every detail,
and credit to any community.
An amusing incident occurred dur
ing the evening. When the guests
were approaching in line of cars led
by Mr.. A. Hulsether, who despite the
fact that he was an old friend of the
Steens turned in to the Habbestad
place, and in getting back on the high
way again he ran into the hydrant in
the yard, breaking it off. AS re-
suit Mr.. Habbestad had to forego
bathing and cooking until help came
on Sunday. Even so everyone had a
happy evening, and departed, wishing
the Steens many years to enjoy their
home.

MEANS OF ENDING
LICENSE CHEATING

Officers of the law in King County
have staged a little drive to corral
those local citizens whose automobiles
carry California license plates. The
trick of obtaining a set OF plates from
California for So, thus avoiding the
much higher license fees of Wash
ington and Oregon, has been employ
ed by motorists of these northern
states for several years, the number OF
these cheaters apparently increasing
annually. Oregon hes adopted q plan
which obviously will end the CHI
canery In that state. Any motorist In
oregon sending to another state fol-
license plates now receive the plates
through the local sheriff's office. The
sheriff's staff makes sure that the per-
son Is entitled to the foreign plates
before delivering them.
