Theda Bara Is now a vampire expert, a new species of alienist. Down In Los Angeles Judge Craig has Issued a subpena lor Miss Bara, based upon a most curious wish for ex pert testimony. The court wished Miss Bara to testify upon the psychology of vampires In the case or G. Marines, on trial for the murder of the woman known as his wife. Rosa Marinez. That the dead woman waa not his wife but was enacting In life the role so often impersonated on tha screen by Miss Bara. and that she threw her self to death from the win. low or thel apartment, will be the accused man's defense. Her name, ' said tha defendant, "was really Knsa Agutlar, and she was known as the vampire of Sonoratown. According to Attorney S. 3. Hahn, for the defendant, vampires Invariably meet death at their own hands and he believes Theda Bara can explain the mental processes which lead these women to self-destruction. Thrda's appearance and testimony Is anxiously awaited by tha defendant, the court, the attorney and the public There aeems to be no way for her to escape the subpena.

(Special.) The exemption board for' the (Second District of Oregon, comprising Folk, Lincoln, Benton, Linn, L&ne, Douglas, Coos, Curry, Josephine. Jackson, Klam ath and Lake counties, has issued a statement announcing that its action in all cases must be considered temporary and that the man receiving classifica tion must show In case of deferred rating on agricultural or industrial grounds that his service at home is of greater value to the Nation than he could perform by going to the front. It was announced that the board has al ready reconsidered a number of case; of men given deferred classifications, advancing them to Clans 1, because they had been found to be loafing on ineir joos. The statement as authorized bv the ooara, ionows: , la the rresnt emerrsncr th vnimr mn of America have been selected as defend er, of the Xatlon. This has especially been oik iv me amy oi men Detween 21 ana HI yea.-s of age. Primarily, this duty rests alike u?om each man. whatever bis civil condi tion or his occupation. However, the Government haa temporarl ly exempted the man with dependent fam liy. This is done not because he deserves any favors, not because his obligation Is less, but because It would cost Uncle Sam mora to sHipport tha dependent families of mis croup than the services of . the men would be worth as soldiers. Exemption Strictly Temporary. Llkem-lse, men actively en cured In certain occupations have been granted deferred islftcatton. It Is believed that these men can be of greater value to the Government, can do more to help win the war, by stick ing to their Jobs at home than by actually Joining the Army. Hence these men are emporarily exempted, but only so lone as incy are actually ana assiauously engaged me neces&ary industry or agriculture. Huch exemption la strictly temporary, its j rat Ion wholly contingent upon tho main tenance of this grester degr of usefulness to the Government In civil life than In mil iary life. It Is the duty of exemption boards to promptly reclassify any registrant who Is found not to be actively and assiduously ngaged In the occupation which cava him his deferred classification. It will thus be seen that classifications made by district boards, under the selec tive service law. are not permanent, but are subject to change at any moment. As a matter of fact, many men at first classed In 2C or 2D have already been shifted to class 1 because they ceased to be or failed to be more useful to the Gov ernment at borne than they would be In the Army. Service at Home Important. The farmer boy Is In class 2C only be cause be can do more to help win the war by producing wheat, oats, butter, wool and meat than he could by going Into the renchea. The railroad brakeman, the lop- ger and the shipbuilder are In class 'JO ' only because they can do more for the Gov ernment In the present emergency by dllt- nt work at home than they could by fighting at the front- v henever any of these men cease to be more useful to the Government In their present capacity than they would be as sol diers, they will be transferred to class 1 and made liable to Immediate call to eerv- ce. It will thus be seen that every young man In America Is now a National defender some capacity. He is, in a broad sense. soldier now, whether called to arms or not. Kvery loyal American with red blood in his veins needs no urging to do his full uty as a soldier, whether it be in the for ts, the shipyard, the harvest field or the field of battle. Some Must Go to Front. Some of their number must don the uni form, accept S30 per month salary, cease be their own boss, spend their time dlg- ng trenches and gt mien plfwsiire as they With the scarcity of wool and the ascending prices of fabrics, naturally men's clothes cost more than heretofore. It means that you must pay more for your clothes if you expect the same quality and service you've had in the past. Don't Be Fooled There is no chance to economize on price without a sacrifice of quality. Better qual ity will develop more satisfaction through longer wear and better appearance. i Be sure you get real quality in textures and in tailoring. One way to be absolutely sure is to buy Mathis Clothes. They are priced as moderately as market conditions will permit on clothes that guar antee satisfaction. $20, $25, $30, $35 And Upward No matter how small the purchase, we appreciate your business v . : MEN S WEAR Corbett Bldg.
