Growing More Serious - There was a time when it was impossible fur any but the froth iest sort of book to sain a wide circulation. The rule that only adventure, mystery and love stories attracted a circle of readers lai'i;o enough to merit attention had hut few exceptions. Nor have the works of fiction which are written only to divert and entertain yielded first place even today to more serious books. Jt is hard to lielievc that men and women will ever in larjfe num bers take up with the reading of more serious books, either fiction or non-fiction. Americans read mainly for diversion and enter tainment. Within the past few years, however, there seems to be in evi dence a tendency on the part of the public to turn to more substan tial reading." Not a few of the serious books of fiction ran in to manifold editions.' Surely theie was a little romance and adveti tuie to be found in Main Street, and still not many best sellers can boast of larger sales than this. book. Mrs. Edith Wharton ad dresses herself only to the selioiis-miiidcd leader, and so it oc casioned no little surprise to find that The Age of Innocence held its own for months its one of the Jntks most in demand. In the field of non-fiction one is confronted with even greater surprises. Here in the expectation of a small demand the pub lisher puts on the market at first only a relatively small supply. Great is his astonishment to learn that the first supply of a book like Mind in the Making is at once exhausted and that more and more copies arc being demanded. People of this country are apparently becoming more and more interested in books which deal with sociological problems and phe nomena. Had Mr. Wells written the usual kind of book on history, it is doubtful whether he would have found even a hundredth part of the number of readers who are by this time familiar with the, book. Kilt since it is an interpretation of history as seen through the eyes of a man who has himself given us one of the greatest of sociological novels, the book has found an incredibly wide circulation. office cat! speech fails iiiira ..W THE PRESIDENT IKES ESCAPE r r.v.v;, i BY JUNIUS Willi Mower;: Ki-t flint way from try ing to learn their bolonkul nuiiio. on rjin'i tell by the HvietneiM of u uiiMiuii'r: unHIo how badly her pet torn t;i hurling.

Ready For The Chief The Oregon Trail, celebration tomorrow awaits the passing of hours for the mountain air to be rent assunder by the firing of twenty-one guns, the President's salute, which will open the grand est event ever held in the Inland Kmpire. Willing kinds have worked day and night to turn the bare side of a mountain into a' place where thousands of people can be comfortable while viewing the .Oregon Trail pageant and listening to the address of Warren G. Harding, president of the United States.' . It was an undertaking of no small size, but it has been handled in a most remarkably efficient Dinner. On every hand it is plain on visiting the grounds at Meacham, that the weak and least re sistance people were not on the job. On the other hand, the per sonnel of the committee in charge has been such that no obstacle was top big to be overcome. From the rest tents to the large speaker's stand everything has been done in a substantial way. The roughness of pioneer times has not been sacrificed. No cushioned seats are to be found at Meacham. Tomorrow is to be n day such as the old-timers had when they celebrated and those who attend will witness this country as she was in early days. The main street of Top o' Ulue Mountains is lined with frontier buildings, most of theiii saloons and dance halls, every feature of the mining ci'.mp Icing carried out.1 Of course such modern things as a water system, a chlorina tion plant to treat all the drinking water, an electiic lighting sys tem, lied Crosu hospital and tents, have been added, but these in no way mar the pioneer atmosphere. It is to bo the great interior day, for tomorrow the President of 110 million people pays his respect to the great celebration which marks the eightieth anniversary of the Oregon Trail.

ALBANY, Ore.. July 2. George Parker and Rulie Johnson escaped 1 Sunday afternoon from the I. inn ; county jail, where they were being j helil for the murder of Sheriff W. ! J. Dun lap. Parker was captured a I few minutes after he got out. He I was seen by Sheriff Richard before he had climbed over an iron fence that surrounds the rear cf the jail. Johnson was still at large late today-1 The men dug a hole through the I rear brick wall of the jail eight feet j from the ground. 1 he -escape was made at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon while the sheriff was in his office near the jail, talking to J. R IRoy, un ex deputy. As the sheriff left Roy and started to his quarters in the jail building, he noticed the hulc in the wall and Parker hiding behind a tree near the spot to the cast of the jail. Parker made no attempt to resist the sheriff when ho saw that capture was inevitable. John son already had fled from the scene. The reason a chicken grosses the street is because there is an in viting window mirror over there. The l.u Criiudu XattirnHst says: Milliard balls olten have necks. A line never loses its pants.
