RICHARDSON At Hilton'sGarage, Adams Avenue Paragon's release through the World Film, "Paying the Price," is worth while. It will be shown at the Arcado Sunday only. It is a subject containing good situations and there are excellent players to interpret the roles, principal ivnd subordinate. Gail Kano is at tho top of the list, and with hor are Georgo Relph, Gladden James, George Majeroni and June El vidge. The interest is well divided between all of these; in fact, the story has been told as a story, without any effort to build it around one to the exclusion of others. Miss Kane is charming In the light er passages she has marked mag netic quality but it U in tho sterner moments when she is at her best. Her role is that of the woman who picks from two men tho wrong one for a husband and very soon discovers AT ARCADE THEATER SUNDAY ASK FOR MCCARTHY'S IMPERIAL CIGARS J 5 mmmtmmfam Office and Factory, w. d.

Tho dramatic interest is intensified by the decision of the wife after a battle with herself that she will adhere to tho right. Mr. Relph is the naval officer who sees the wom an he loved married to the army man to whom ho hud introduced hor. Mr. James is tho successful suitor who through his habits of spending gets into difficulties and attempts to recoup by selling government secrets. Mr. Majeroni is tho foreign agent who seeks to obtain the formula of the ex plosive invented by tho navy man. Director Frank Crane received from tho Nnvy Department valuable assist ance in the staging of his subject. Ho had at his disposal a torpedo boat, Of which we have many intimate views. One of the more interesting of these is the londing, aiming and launching of a torpedo. There is a thrill in tho denouement when in test ing the new explosive the torpedo tube is trained on the hulk on which are hiding tho nrmy officer and the for eign agent, that they mny the bettor observe the result of the test. To Discuss Tourist Fund. Salem, Ore., March 31.

State officials are also Interested in the session. "The conferees will have no renl power in expending the money," said Mark Woodruff, director of the North west Tourist Association, in explain ing tho nature of the meeting.

Many of the strongest scenes in "Threads of Fate," the new Metro feature with Viola Dana as star, which will be seen ' at the Sherry theatre on Sunday and Monday were taken in the famous coal mining dis trict around Wilkesbarre, Pa. The pictures taken there depict the lifo of the coal miners and their strug gles with capital. So enthusiastic were tho Dana "fans" that the dainty little star had considerable trouble in going through with her work without being inter rupted by a child with a bunch of flowers for her, or la man or woman who wanted to tell her how fine she was in her recent play, "The Gates of Eden." But the Dana "fans' also proved of valuable assistance. They brought information as to the prettiest spot for scenic photography, and clamored for tho privilege of appearing as "supers" in.

"Japan can dispose of the Shang tung Railway without waiting for the peace conference, and it is absurd to doubt that this railway line will not come under Japanese influence," Bar on Hayashi told the newspaper mtn. "Japan will also ask China to agree to the establishment of a Japanese concession at Tsingtau," he continued, ".but whether other foreign countries will he permitted to establish settle ments at Tsingtau, as in other Chi nese ports, is a question which I can not discuss now." "hqusewives," little sewing kits, Col lege students are forming drill teams in a dozen towns. The Gearhart Park company has extended to the use of the national guard a large tract along the const for troop purposes. Then there are the offers of such men as M,att Farley, a Civil War vet eran, who is willing to go into his country's services again. Who can doubt our patriotism in the face of such facts as these. It is a pleasing thing to see the way a small boy worships the American flag. PATRIOTISM IS SHOWN ALL OVER THE STATE ..Portland, Ore., March 31. (United Press) Each day the national guard officers of the three northwest states Teceive dozens of offers from individ- ' uals. cities, villacres and firms. j Bend, Baker and other Washington, I Idaho and Oregon towns which now I have no militia units are offering to recruit companies.
