STUDIO AND PUGILISTIC
LINGO DON'T CORRESPOND
"Every man speaks in the terms of
his vocation," says Harold Lockwood
in the August Motion Picture Maga
zine, "and when one term is used in
two distinct vocations and .each has
a different significance, then serious
complications are apt to occur, as in
the case when our director took
'Danny' Hogan, ex-pugilist, now chief
property-man for Metro, from his
regular duties for a scene in one of
our pictures. ,
" 'Now Danny,' the director ex
plained, ' Tom comes into the set,
and as soon as you see him, you rush
forward and put him out. This is
only a 'flash,' and then you can go
back to your work. Understand?'
"Hogan nodded that he understood,
returned to his place, and Tom (1
shall not give his full name, for 1
am peacably inclined and like to
avoid trouble) returned to his place.
" 'All right ready action cam
era shoot!' cried the director.
"Tom came jauntily into the set.
Hogan spied him and rushed forward,
as per directions.- Then he slipped
up. As he was directly alongside of
Tom, he pulled back his powerful
left arm and, unhooked a vicious jab
straight to Tom's jaw. With nary a
groan, Tom sank to the floor out!
" 'No, no, no! shouted the director;
'stop!'
"Hogan was surprised. What's
the matter?' he asked, a puzzled look
in his face. 'I put him out '
" 'I know you did, but I wanted you
to put him out of the set force him

"Hogan, always ready with an
alibi, would havehe last say.
" 'Well, that's the only meaning I

THEY AlTtRIED TO RUN
THEIR CARS TOO FAST
The Sunday toll of Speed Cop
Mead's dragnet on Clackamas county
highways, made a busy afternoon for
Judge Sievers' court Monday, Those
appearing and contributing to the
county coffers for a too fast pace,
were R. N. Warnock, $5; T. J. Lar
son, $10; L. Kays, $5; Charles De
fa 1, $15; D. Vos, $5, and Miss Page,
$5, all of whom were from Port
land. The assessment of the fines
was in proportion to the infraction
of the driving laws of the state. One
man, J. Tester, was slated for a five
dollar fine, but didn't show up, so
his will probably come a little high
er when they bring him in. P. G.
Neru, driving a Chevrolet truck, wat
turned loose without costs when the
judge found that he was answering
a call to the bedside of his sick wife.
Miss Page, the only lady driver in
the bunch, was taking her first spin
in a "flivver" and stated to the court
that she had r.o idea the car was go
ing so fast aa the officer had charg
ed. Her ignorance of the use of the
speedometer was no extenuation,
thought the jurist, and he assessed
the fine as usual.
LIBERTY BONDS MAY BE
CONVERTED UNTIL NOV. 9
Liberty bonds of the first and sec
ond issues and those obtained by con
verting bonds of the' first issue into
4 per cent bonds can be converted in
to 4 per cent Liberty bonds during
the six months' period beginning May
9, 1918. The new bonds will be dat
ed May 9, 1918.
After November 9, 1918, no fur
ther rights of conversion will attach
to the 4 per cent bonds, either the
original bonds of the second loan or
those obtained by conversion of bonds
of the first loan. All of the 4 per
cent bonds are non-convertible.
Bonds for conversion may be sur
rendered at any federal reserve bank
or at the treasury department. Reg
istered bonds must be assigned to the
Secretary of the Treaiury for con
version, but such assignment need
not be witnessed.
On conversion of registered bonds
registered bonds only will be deliver
ed, neither change of ownership nor
change into coupon bonds being per
mitted. Coupon bonds,, however, may be
converted into registered bonds upon
request. Coupon bonds must have
the May 15 or June 15, 1918, coupons
attached and all subsequent coupons
attached. Coupon bonds issued from
conversion will have only four inter
est coupons attached, and later must
be exchanged for new bonds with the
full number of coupons attached.
CLYDE GREEN SAYS YANK
GIRLS ARE REAL THING
to Mrs. Hardy's (the California la
dy's home) for another REAL soci
able evening and some real coffee,
cake, etc. Oh! how we do enjoy our
selves over there. The boys are
always ready to go back the minute
she asks us. She always has two
real nice young ladies there who can
play and sing fine. They always
sing quite a little for us and then
we all get together and sing some of
our popular American pieces. It
certainly is great. I started this let
ter early this morning and today has
been a beautiful one.
There was an air raid on London
the other night and we had the pleas
ure to hear a real celebration. It
lasted for quite a little while and
about till midnight. There were sev
eral bombs dropped on London,
which did a little damage. There
were seven . of the Hun . Gothas
brought down and their occupants
killed. That raid was the first one
they have had since we came to this
samp. The Huns are surely losing
DUt with their aid raids, because they
ire getting weaker and not so many
of them.
Sam MacDonald's sister was down
here from Scotland to see him, and I
met her. He said this was the first
iime he had seen her for 26 years,
o I guess they enjoyed their meet
ing all 0. K. They went up to Lon
ion for the day and celebrated their
long parting, ,
I was over at the Y. M. C. A. last
light to a fine concert and entertain
ing party from nearby places around
here. I will enclose a copy of the
orogram they gave. They had a fine
pianist, violinist, two female voices
ind. one male voice, who gave a num
ber of fine selections. They gave . a
ilaylet afterwards in which they had
in American girl represented, and it
was comical the way they imperson
ated her. Ha! Ha! I guess the lady
taking the part has never seen the
States. I would of liked to have a
eal "Yank" girl to show them last
night.
So poor Harvey is coming home
disabled? Well, I feel for him all
right. I suppose Carnott Spencer
iad his early training on canoes be
'ore pulling off that stunt in the
iavy. Then poor Edmund Bollack
he gave all he could, his life for
the Stars and Stripes. Believe me,
the ones behind us is the only thing
that pushes us on and on.
Well, folks, I guess I will have to
close. Your letters are certainly
coming along slow of late. Some
ties there is a week's interval. Write
oftener, please. Send any pictures
ilong. Say, send me some booklet
forms of scenes in Oregon and
around home. Love to all the family.
As ever,
Your loving son,
CLYDE.
THE BEST PROOF
In the following letter from their
son, Clyde, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Green
are advised that he is encamped in
England, and is getting along nice
ly. He writes entertainingly of the
life in an American camp abroad:
369 Aero Squadron, A. E. F., via
London, Eng., May 25, 1918.
Dear Ones at Home:
Received your letter sent April 22,
and Rose Green's letter, or rather
envelope with the paper in it. Tell
her I enjoyed reading it very much.
Your letter was certainly a fine one
and I enjoyed it very much. Gla'
to hear you are all. well and happ;
I am, as per usual, feeling fine an
getting along tip top. We have ha
two days now of dark, cloudy am
stormy weather, which broke uj
quite a hot spell that we were enjoy
ing for awhile.
I got a very nice box of those large
Centennial chocolates from Marie
Vonderahe, which sure did taste
good. You can't imagine how real
candy tastes over here, because that
can't be had.

A brush and grass fire on the bluff
at Canemah last Sunday afternoon
called out a number of men to aid
in quelling the blaze, which had de
rived a good start with the aid of a
brisk breeze. After an evening of
industrious labor, the men had the
fire extinguished by 11 o'clock, with
slight property damage. It is the
opinion of some that the fire started
from sparks from a railway engine,
as the tracks of tha Southern Pa
cific pass just below at this point.
It was estimated that fully a hun
dred fire-fighters were on the job
throughout the evening, and the
smoke of the conflagration threw a
dense haze over the city and sur
rounding valley.
