my kidneys are very irregular in ac

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.

mitted in Portland, this week.
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-

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

The story of "Tho Wheel of the

Retirement Fund Advocated.
Union county school tenchers have
a double interest in study and in
vestigation now going on prelimi

is liecnuse all teachers are pre-eminently
