"It may appear ungracious in the woman who has attained what is called 'success' upon the stage to withhold from the novice any knowledge that will set her in the right direction," says Louise Bates, prima donna with "The Passing Show of 1913," which comes to the Heilig Theater, Eleventh and Morrison, for seven nights, beginning next Monday. June 1, with special matinees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. "Let the girl who desires to go on the stage be sure that nature has started her on the right road; that she. is equipped at the outset with temperament, good health, a pleasing voice, a quick and ready sympathy, plenty of courage and determination, and at least a fair shart of personal attractions. Absolute beauty Is not necessary, though few can deny that it is desirable. But there must always be about the actress who hopes for success a general air which pleases and satisfies the audience."

CHAPIN JURY IS "HONG" NO VERDICT POSSIBLE IN .CASE AGAINST REALTY AGENT. Herlow Trial Not Vet Set Because of Court's Inability to Take Up Action at Once, but Slay Be Reached Soon. No agreement was possible In the Chapln case, the jury reported to Cir cuit Judge Kavanaugh at noon yester day, and reluctantly the court dis charged the men who have had the case under consideration since Tuesday afternoon. It was reported, after the Jury had been discharged, that it stood 11 to 1 lor conviction. Arrangements for the trial of E. C. Herlow, Indicted Jointly with Chapln, for the larceny by bailee of $3500 from Mr. and Mrs. William Grace have not been made yet, because of the Inability of any of the Judges to take up the case at once. - But it is probable that either the Herlow trial or the second Chapln trial will be taken up some time next week. The Jointly indicted ex partners in the Chapin-Herlow Mort gage & Trust Company demanded Sep arate trials. The two real estate men are charged with using1 in the ordinary course of their firm s business 3o00 which Mrs. Grace testified had been advanced to them to be Invested in first mortgages. DAC6HTEHS OF- THE AMERI CAN REVOLUTION PLAN FOR FLAG DAY. t - t A " r- t . .PV r - ' I Grove, Photo. Mrs. E. A. Sommer. The members of Multnomah Chapter, Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution, are planning to make Flag Day, 1914. memorable. Committees have been appointed by Mrs. Isaac - Lee Patterson, president of the chapter, and the National colors will be much in evidence on June 15 if half of the promises made to the committee are kept. Mrs. E. A. Sommer and Miss Valentine Prichard are in charge of the West Side play grounds and the People's Institu tion. Mrs. Carrie L. S. Dunning. Mrs. Frederick Stanley and Miss Jeannle Gray are members of the motion-picture theaters' commit tee. The managers of the vari ous showhouses have promised that the flag shall be displayed on the screens and that patriotic airs shall be played. It is the aim of the chapter members to encourage the audiences to rise when "The Star Spangled Ban ner" is played. Action Taken to Hold Up Ordinance Prohibiting Sal'5 Question Is to Be Voted on in June, 1915. Dealers Declare Law Unfair. With 10,843 certified names, Inde pendent grocers yesterday filed with City Attorney Barbur petitions invok ing the referendum on the ordinance passed last month by the City Council prohibiting the sale of groceries on Sundays. The petitions were filed at 4:4S P. M. Although the Auditor has 10 days 'in which to examine the peti tions before finally accepting them for filing, it is said there is no question but that they will be received and that the ordinaace will be held up. This action on the part of the inde pendent grocers who have opposed the Sunday closing ordinance from the first means that the proposition will be put up to the voters at the next city elec tion in June, 1915. It was announced by those who filed the petitions that only a part of the names secured were filed owing to the fact that close to one-half of the petitions put out in the first place have not been sent in to the committee. It had been understood they would be received up to today. It is said to be probable the additional names will be sent in today. Many Petitions Not Returned. It is reported 275 petitions were put out when the referendum movement was started 10 days ago. Of this num ber only 175 were returned. The re maining 100 are in the hands of the circulators. The committee, headed by Ben A. Bellamy, says the petitions were obtained without a cent of expense ex cepting the cost of printing and attor ney's fees, and that, if necessary, dou ble the number of signatures tiled could have been secured. It was reported that the signatures were secured with ease. Those who have bandied the proposi tion say they have established a new record for . referendum . proceedings. They say that in exactly 10 days they put out the petitions and had them signed. No circulators were hired, and in most cases the petitions were placed on counters in grocery stores and cus tomers allowed, to sign of their own free will. The ordinance passed by the Council would have gone into effect Sunday morning had the referendum not been Invoked. It would have made it un lawful for any grocer to sell any gro ceries on Sunday, but perrritted the sale of such articles as fruits, bread, milk. ice cream, pastry, tobacco, soft drinks and delicatessen products. Complaints Are Explained. The Bmall dealers who remain open on Sundays say that the majority of them would have made no complaint had the ordinance caused the closing; of all groceries and other establishments on Sundays, but they objected to being singled out alone in the proposition. They declared that butcher shops, deli catessen stores, drug stores and other places would not be affected by the ordinance and that as a result there would be nothing in the food or grocery line that could not be purchased on Sunday. Small concerns made a bitter fight aarainst the ordinance when it was be fore the Council but the measure was passed over their protest. It was fa vored by the Retail Grocers' Associa tion and by some grocers not members of that association. Good Things in Markets THE Summer fruits are lining up. The first peaches are come! What though they do cost 60 cents a dozen, they won't stay at that height very long.

TBS as Dollar ""VJi:-:. : T5" The DiminisKing The Government is making more dollars every year and so are you and the dollars are just as large as they ever were, but they are actually smaller in purchasing power than ever before. The problem is to make a dollar go as far as possible in purchasing the necessities of life. For a dollar you can get one hundred Wheat X nscmi:: and that means a hundred wholesome, nourishing breakfasts. If you add coffee, milk and cream a deliciously nourishing Shredded Wheat breakfast should not cost over five cents. Shredded Wheat Biscuit is the whole wheat prepared in digestible form. It is ready-cooked and ready-to-serve a boon to busy housekeepers with growing children. Always heat the Biscuit in oven to restore crispness. Two Shredded Wheat Biscuits with hot milk or cream will supply all the energy needed for a half day's work. Deliciously nourishing when eaten in combination with baked apples, stewed prunes, sliced bananas or canned or preserved fruits.

Her hand, fatigued ana cramped from writing, hung limp ly at her side. But her eyes, goaded into alertness by the Importance of sending an effective letter to her broth er, scanned the written pages critically. A sudden thought took shape in her mind. "Why on earth have I never up to this minute read the truthful story of a girl's effort to get a Job in New York?" The question kept weaving through her thoughts, burning itself into her brain. Came then a thought which made her jump to her feet. A question leaped to her lips, and she directed It aloud to the silent furniture of her little room. 'Why wouldn't some editor buy and print the substance of this letter?" she demanded of bed and chairs and dresser. "I'll make an article out of it and try to sell it," she told herself as she made ready to retire. The thought snvept her: speedily into contented slumber. The sun was pouring into her room the next time she opened her eyes; and again the question of the night before sprang to her lips. She ate her breakfast with a new zest in lift. Then she hurried back to her room and again read the long letter through. More than ever did she feel convinced that here she had the struc ture of a marketable article. Marian spent the morning rewriting the letter, and by noon she had before her a piece of work with which she felt justified in invading any editorial sanc tum in New York. She had written it with never a thought of the rules or writing which an anemic professor had striven to drill into his classes at col lege. She felt no misgivings as to whether she had spilt any infinitives or forgotten any of the rules of coher ence. She kniiw that the thinf,- interest ed her intensely, the oftenez she read it. She knew it -had come hot from a troubled brain. She felt that It would make its readers see things, under stand things. She entitled her effort. "Two Weeks In the Jungle." After luncheon she dressed for the street and set forth. She did not pause at a letter box to post the long missive to her brother. A ray of hope had cleaved the darkness, and she thought she saw a way of replenishing her funds without borrowing. Instead, she entered a drug store and made a list of newspaper addresses. Then she de scended to the subway tube with her manuscript in her handbag. Her former diffidence at invading employers' offices in quest of work had left her. She felt that today she went forth with wares of genuine merit to offer. Hope buoyed up her spirits. She had a feeling that she was going to conquer. (Tomorrow Trailing the Editors.)
