Intimation is given in a telegram received yesterday from the War De partment by Major W. W. Wilson, acting- Adjutant-General of the Oregon National Guard, that the Coast ' Artil lery will be the next state military organization to be "commanded to take Its- poet of duty on the Mexican bor der. The telegram is from General Mills, chief of the militia bureau, directing Major Wilson -to recruit to full war strength all Oregon National Guard or ganizations on the Mexican border, and to send these recruits to their respec tive organizations as soon as is pos sible. The message also directs Major Wil son to recruit to full war strength the Coast Artillery. There are at the pres ent eight companies of Coaet Artillery. Tour more wjll be added as soon as they can be recruited. 784 More Recruits JVeeded. Major Wilson said that 784 more men are required to fill the Oregon organi sations now on the bonder to their full war strength, and that those desiring to enlist for these organizations should make immediate application to Captain Kenneth P.

Major Wilson Will start immediately the organization of the four companies of Coast Artillery in order to bring that branch of the service to . its full war strength, and after all ' the Oregon National Guard, organizations now on the bonier are filled the Coast Artillery will be the next to be called for active duty there. He also said, that the order of the War Department also clearly intimated that the volunteer regiment of infan try now being raised perhaps would be the last to be mustered into the Fed eral service. . Battalion Mar Be Authorized. Major Wilson half suspected that the War Department would advice him. to begin the formation of the Fourth Bat talion of the Third Regiment, a pro vision made by the Army bill thiit be came operative July 1. He was advised, however, that the raising of that bat talion would begin only after war had Taeen declared and the organizations of the Oregon National Guard were all recruited to their full strength and the men sent to the border.

Each of the companies has recruiting offices in the particular place where the company is situated and the re cruiting to full strength will begin im meditely. To recruit to full strength the Coast Artillery must be composed of 12 com panies. Each company is composed of 109 enlisted men and three officers a Captain and First and Second Lieu tenants. The Eighth Company and band, C. A. C, are located in Portland.

It is said to be engaged in double tracking the Trans-Siberian Railway at present, and to be planning to ob tain for this purpose from 6000 to 8000 tons of railway spikes in Canada. Suburbanites who live at some dis tance from the station and are not yet equipped with a motor car will note with satisfaction Andrew Lang's di rections about reaching his house: "Go tip Cromwell road," he said, "till you drop, and then turn to the right." The tribal fund of Chippewa Indians on the White Earth reservation, in Minnesota, amounts to $4,100,000. The red men are asking a division of the wealth, but as it is used as an endow ment for schools and other valuable services, the state is strongly oppos ing them. All fishes have air bladders in their bodies, which, enable them to rise and fall in the water at will. Near the bottom the weight of the water com presses these bladders and as a conse quence the body of the fish shrinks un til its bulk is of equal weight with the .water it displaces. j On the Joys of Nutting.

TODAY'S FILM FEATURES Columbia "Apostle of Venge ance," "Two o'clock Train." Heilig "The Cave Man." Majestic "The Man From Bitter Roots." Peo'ples ''The World's Great Snare." Pickford "The Snowbird." T & D "The Crucial Test." Sunset "The Floorwalker," "The Bruiser." H AVE you ever noticed an eccen tricity, on the - part of the furni ture in motion pictures a pro pensity for hopping about the room be tween scenes? It sometimes happens that a large chair will be in a certain position during one scene In a photo play and that in. the very next scene, though a single second has scarcely elapsed, that same chair 'will have turned itself around, - It has so. happened that an actor will be shown placing his hat on . a table, where it remains immobile, in accordance with the custom of the best-behaved hats. But a few moments later the hat may not be on the table at all, or it may be on another part of the table, while in a short time it will reappear in its original position, though at no time during this remark able performance has there been the slightest occasion for . any human agency to touch the hat. Why this questionable conduct? The most forcible answer to the interro gation can be found in a visit to the Famous Players studio, where one will find complete scenes standing idle, but surrounded with a high rope fence bearing the legend "Do not touch this set." The whole secret lies in the weakness of actors who are waiting to be called for their respective sets for sitting around in idle scenes and settling the affairs of the Nation. In a perfectly modern drawing-room one may find several mediaeval knights talking with a Balkan King or a dope-fiend. While these players are discussing various subjects it is only natural that they should absentmind edly twist the chairs in which they are sitting or move any loose objects such as hats or gloves,- which might happen to be at hand. Unless the director or his assistant is gifted with a phenomenally accurate memory, the mere moving of one or two objects in a big set may escape notice. The result is that when the work is resumed In that particular set ting all the scenes taken from that point on show the objects in question in different positions from, those which they previously occupied. This wouia not be so bad if it were not for the fact that in assembling and editing the picture after the photography has been completed it frequently happens that the scenes are interchanged, the result being that, in the finished screen ver sion, these objects are seen to move about the stage in a most disconcerting fashion. Kitty Gordon at T & D. Kitty Gordon, the English stage beauty of the famous back, who re cently sigued a three-year contract to appear exclusively in wona produc tions, is the photodramatic headliner at the T & D Theater today on its week-end programme. Miss Gordon is star of "The Crucial Test." This drama deals with revolutionist life in Russia, the star appearing as Thanya, sister of the revolutionist chosen to kill the Grand Duke. Her characterization in this vehicle is said to far surpass those of As in a Look ing Glass" and "Her Maternal itignt," former World performances. A.

Scores "Efficiency" Experts. The yardstick and so-called "effi ciency engineer" constitute the great menace to the artistic development of the motion picture, according to Albert CaDellani. whose work in producing "Les Miserablee," "Camllle" and "La Vie de Boheme" has established him as one of the greatest directors In Amer ica. On his record, "M. Capellani's opin ions should command atention at any time, but the fact that since his- ad vent to America a year ago he has re frained until now from expressing hie views for publication adds interest to his remarks. "Tou cannot make photo-plays as you make shoes," declared the famous Frenchman, now director-general of the new Clara Kimball Young Film Corporation. "There are too many mo tion picture factories in America and too few real studios. Producing a mo tion picture is an art, not a job.. Tou can't turn your studio Into a machine shop, your actors into mill hands and your directors Into foremen and expect to produce artistic and appealing crea tions that will elevate the screen above the sordid and commonplace and put the ' motion picture where it' belongs. on a plane with its allied arts f rama, literature and music "The standardizing of the features picture into five reels is one of the greatest drawbacks to the advancement of our art. You might as well tell a novelist just how many words he must use in his next story, or a painter how many brushfnlls of ink he must put on his next canvas. The majority of stories produced as five-reel pictures today could have been done Infinitely better in three reels. On the other hand, many a wonderful story has been ruined by the necessity of cutting It to five reels." ... Ftrnnmt Expert Anglers. In these days when fish stories fly thick and fast one had best simply sit back and say "Ah. yes" to all the tales that are told. However, "Dusty" Farnum, he of motion picture fame, is one of the few humans who can Fhow proof of his latest tales of accomplish ments with the rod. A silver button for the prize yellow-tail weighing 31 and a half pounds and a silver cup for tha season's record ' bonita haanow been added to "Dusty's" trophies, and are on display at his bungalow in Los Angeles to any doubting ones. "Dusty" took, a few days off at the Pallas Pic tures studios and, accompanied by his equally popular brother. Bill, proceeded to hang -up some new records around the Catalina Islands. The yellow-tail gave a severe tussle, running out 600 fset of line in its lightning efforts to escape. After an hour's fight the Farnum brothers managed to gaff the beauty. But this was only the begin ning, for, between the two of them, the Farnum boys caught more than a hun dred, fish, including a shark. Included among these, also, was the season's record bonita, for which "Dusty" was awarded a silver cup. The luck for big catches seemed to be confined to the Pallas Pictures star, while brother Bill could only stand by and lend a hand on the big hauls. When one considers that other expert fishermen had been trying for the prizes for six weeks, it Brill K& 4 V. -1 'llltctiT'n" ghil will bo realized that Dusty's' ability was in keeping with his luck.

"I have not given up playing heavy char acters, but simply want the sympathy of the audience to be with me lor a change if I can win it." Edwin Carewe, who directed "The Snowbird, besides taking a prominent role, was induced to take the part be cause of his exceptional qualifications for the character he portrays. The role is that of Jean Corteau, a primi tive man of the bockwoods, whose character and better nature are devel oped under the influence of a gentle woman who comes into his life from civilization. Mr. Carewe is one-fourth Chickasaw Indian and passed his early life on a reservation in Oklahoma, close to Nature. Under the expert tutelage of the chauffeurs of the "Flying A" camp, lit tle Mary Miles Minter has become a past master in the art of driving her big automobile; in fact her shopping lours to lxs Angeles have become pleasure Jaunts, as she loads the big car full of merry film folks and drives to the Southern California metropolis and back the same day without any aiscomiort or fatigue.

This is the message brought back to Portland last night by Ralph E.

You can read this message Just the way you want to a promise If you're a Republican; a threat if you're a Democrat. "As a matter ef fact, I never met Mr. Hughes before," confessed Mr. Will iams, "and to tell the truth, I was pre pared to believe some of the things I had heard about him that he was cold, reserved to a fault, and unduly dignified. Hnitbri Ready for Campaign. "But personal contact with the man shattered all those illusions. I never before met a more affable, genial or approachable man. He is extremely democratic in his manner, yet carries himself with a pleasant dignity at all times. He is cheerful and good-humor ed, fond of Jakes and stories and, abova all. kind and considerate. In other words, he is entirely human a regular fellow." - Mr. Williams reports that Hughes is in excellent good health and ready to start into the real hard work of the campaign. The trip to the Pacific Coast will be undertaken late in- uly or early in August. It will include a tour of the northern tier of states, then a swing through Oregon, down to California and back into the mountains of Colo rado, where he plans to devote two or three weeks to rest and recreation perhaps a little hunting and fishing.

Mr. Williams reports that Mr. Hughes Is more than eager to meet the wishes of the Progressives. This was evi denced, he says, by the appointment of William R.

Detroit Free Press. Wireless telephone messages have recently been exchanged between New York and San Francisco, from Wash ington to Honolulu and from Montauk Point, N. Y to St. Simon's Island, Ga. Wireless telephony is a success. It is in a very lusty Infancy. What may It not become after a few more years of development? It Is within the bounds of sober pos sibilities and probabilities that it will draw the peoples of the world into a closer community of thought and in. terest than has ever been deemed pos sible. Such things as censorships as we now know them in connection with news from warring European countries will become Impossibilities. No man can successfully censor the voices of millions of men and women privileged to talk through thousands of miles of Impalpable atmosphere. It will not be possible to misrepresent the views of one people to another when they can ask and answer for themselves regard less of oceans, mountains, fortresses or other barriers. But this Is not the only possibility. Wireless telephony rests on control of certain electrical currents. If these may be controlled for the purpose of conveying speech. It is wholly reason able to expect that they may be con trolled for use as weapons. Powder magazines and nruna may yet be pre maturely exploded by such electrical currents successfully controlled, and the force which can be used to bind the peoples In thought. Interest and commerce may be employed to rend them apart. London Don'ts. The antl-treatlng order recently went into effect in London. "Don'ts." which are really commands, have been plentifully posted about the city. Here they are: Don't order any Intoxicating drinks lor anotner. Don't pay for drinks for a friend. Don't lend or advance money to buy drinks. Don't consume any drink which some body else has ordered or paid for. These "don'ts" apply to licensed premises and clubs, highways, open spaces, railway stations adjoining or near to licensed places in which the liquor was sold or supplied. However, the sale of whisky, brandy, and rum, reduced to between 25 and 35 degrees under proof, and of gin re duced to between 35 and 45 degrees. Is permitted.
