ARCADE Fairies and Cnm Tragedy Combined ir. Triangle Play. The story of "The Children in tlia House," a new Triangle-Fine Arts re lease featuring Norma Talinadgo to lie shown at the Arcade theatre Sun day only covers a varied action with thrills, laughter, tears and poetic fancy much interwoven. Arthur Vin cent, a real estate dealer, neglects his wife, and two children while in the toils of Jane Courtenay, an empty headed cabaret dancer. Cora, the wife, frequently visits her sister Alica who lives next door. Alice is the wife of Fred Brown, a detective, and has three children. With the family lives Fred's bachelor brother, Charles, who is a former lover of Cora, and cannot bear to see her neglected by her husband. lit is during one of Cola's visit to the house, when Charles goes oil and fiits by the lire alone to try and still his heart-ache, that the children of tho house and her children, come to log him for a "good-night" story. While he is deliberating, one of the children asks him why iie has no wife and children of his own; and in this ho finds his inspiration. Unknown to him, Cora is listening behind the cur tain. He tolls them the story of how he once lived in the Knehanted Forest of Dreams, loving a beautiful fairy called Sweetheart, and how she, in answer to his prayers to True Love, Queen of all the fairies, was made a mortal and hit by Cupid's dart to make her heart tender toward him. They were very happy, continues Charles, until Selfish, .son of the Ogre who lived in the for est, desired her. Selfish sent two dwarfs. Lies and Jealousy to cast a spell over Sweetheart; and the spell oust, Sweetheart went otl with Selfish. When Charles- saw this, he fell down deiid; but the fairies brought him : back to life by replacing his ivirt ' with a cold stone. ! Later, Cora and Chailcs are thrown I together, and she admits that her heart has been made a cold stone too. And the old love blazes up fiercely. In the meantime, Arthur is in dan ger of losing his cabaret girl because his money is giving out. So he plans to rob the bank. His plan is ingen ious; and when the bank is robbed, suspicion is cast upon Charles, the cashier. Charles is unable to declare his alibi, that he was with Cora, for fear of bringing scandal upon her and her children. Hut the children at play have found the hiding place of the real thieves. And the police fight tiiat follows, ! brings happiness to Ch:.iles, to Cora, ! and to the children in the house. SHERRY'S i - 1 4 S ; ), I'm i I y Novel I'hoto- Stevens Seen in play.

President Foster, of Reed College, as chairman of the committee, has been principally active in collecting duta for the plan, and the mechanism oh the fund is largely of his design. The operation of the scheme is simi lar to that of teachers' retirement funds which have been successfully administered in Eastern states. Plan To lie Submitted Miss Viola Ortschild, president of the Portland Ciradu Teachers' As sociation, will lay the plan before the Portland organization for adoption, while the committee will act in pre senting the plan to members of th- state organization. The main features of the proposed plan of retirement allowances, as now discussed by the committee, for Ore gon teachers are as follows: First Membership compulsory for all public school teachers beginning service in Oregon after July 1, 1917; optional for teachers in service nrevi- 1 1 I ous to JuW 1. 1919. Second Rate of assessment upon teachers to be not less than 3 nor more than 5 per cent of salary in any year; provided that no annual assess ment shall be more than $100. Third Assessments to be deduc ted from salaries by local authorities and forwarded to the secretary of the retirement board at Salem. Contribution for Own Use Fourth Each teacher's "contribu tion to be reserved solely for his own benefit; interest on contributions to be credited on the last day of each year at the iate of 3 per cent per annum. Fifth Teachers allowed to be re tired at the age of (HI; required to be retired at the age of 70.

The story of "Tho Wheel of the jnv" is a powerful document of hu man life, written by Katherine Kaca naugh. It deals with the fallibility of circumstantial evidence and the dan ger of depending upon it solely in ob taining a conviction. There is a touch of politics, the life behind the scenes of a Broadway star, together with her home life. Retirement Fund Advocated. Union county school tenchers have a double interest in study and in vestigation now going on prelimi nary to a tenchers' retirement fund law. The prime reason of interest is liecnuse all teachers are pre-eminently interested in such n measure, and secondly, because a 1-a (irando teaching service prior to the time when a pension is due to have all contributions refunded with interest at 3 per cent per annum. Tenth In case of death of member, contributions, with 2 per cent inter est, to be refunded to legal repre sentative.
