Mrs. Smith, known professionally as Alma Reubens, also further alleges that her husband was guilty of cruel and inhuman treat ment. I give it up.

PRINCESS MU.NA DAKKr KATHtft, star of ao many Indian photo- nlm rirlnr tha nail icht niin who is in Portland this week making personal appearances at the Strand theater, asserts that she Is the first "extra" ever hired In the Los Angeles studios. It all happened nearly eight years go, when Mona it was Mona Work man then, for her father is an English man and her mother a pure Castillan overcame parental scruples and in faded the old Essanay studios. She was hired as an extra the first of them all, she asserts and three days later the illness of the leading woman hunted her into that enviable post tlon. And leading woman she has been fram that day to this. Frank Montgomery, Princess Mona'a husband, is an old-time stock actor as well as a motion picture director, and has played in stock in Portland. He has directed nearly all of his wife's 600 photoplays, is the first man to make two-reel picture in Los Angeles, and la said to have been the originator of the close-up. Carlyle Blackwell and Hobart Bos worth are two well-known stars with whom Princess Darkfeather co-starred during her days of Indian pictures. Married, Then Divorced. After all. Oscar, is matrimony a failure? Or Is it Just the climate out here? I never knew what love could do till I came to the city of Angels.

I Screen Gossip. Mob scenes are going to be mighty scarce in picture hereafter. Since the Los Angeles police recently announced that appearing in mobs, riots and panics in the films was not essential to the winning of the war and that those participating are subject to the work-or-fight order, the army of "ex tras" is no more. A raid on Los Angeles poolrooms and dance- emporiums netted 300 loi terers, with 75 per cent claiming to be "movie actors." Investigation showed that only two of the gang ever had faced a moving picture camera. Jewel Carmen is not going to get away from William Fox without a scrap. He threatens to enjoin me Keener Company- when the Portland girl starts work on her new series of eight pictures a year. A blond vamp is a novelty, but Edna Britton. from vaudeville's "Bride Shop," is such in the Houdiui serial. Tallulah Bankhead. granddaughter of United States Senator John H. Bank head, of Alabama, is Tom Moore's lead ing woman. She has been in pictures but a short time, but has attracted much attention.

TWO SHIFTS WILL WORK Plan to Be) In Operation Until No vember 7, When Voters Will Decide Whether It Will Become Permanent. For the first time In the history ot the city. Portland will have a twc platoon system In vogue in the fire de partment beginning today. The change to the new system was brought about through Coundlmanlc action, after the voters had refused to approve the measure at two elections. The change is only temporary, how. ever, as the City Council has specified that the two-platoon plan will remain In effect until November 7, and should the voters refuse to support the meas ure, which will appear on the ballot at the city election on September 5, the department will revert to the old system. - Tw Shifts to Be WorkKj. Under the new plan there will be two straight shifts, the day shift of 10 hours and the night shift of 14 hours. No dinner hours will be per mitted and a fireman at the end of his shift will be permitted to go to his SO EASY TO HEAL YOUR SKIN WITH POSLAM Don't let those eruptions remain to blemish and annoy any longer than it takes Poslam to heal them.

All members of the department will be subject to call at all times in the event of danger of large conflagra tions or general alarm. In addition, in case of a shortage of men in the company, a fireman may be detailed to remain to fill the vacancy. Sufficient men have been recruited to fill the quota of the various com panies, according to City Commissioner Bigelow. In charge of the Fire Bureau. In a few companies a shortage prob ably will exist for a few days, but men will be detailed to fill these vacancies until additional men can be recruited. Ctaaage Die to Shortage of Mem. The adoption of the two-platoon sys tem by the Council followed several etormy hearings. At the last hearing. the Council chamber was crowded witn firemen, business men and residnets of the city who urged the adoption of the plan on the ground that the shortage in the fire bureau was due to tne long hours in vogue and the shortage en dangered all the war industries located in Portland. The new plan will cost about 190,000 additional each year, according to con servative estimates. It has not yet been determined whether it-will be necessary to- place an additional tax levy on the ballot to support the sys tem next year, although the Council haa agreed to pass a resolution refer ring the plan to the people for the third time. Author of "Pickett's Charge at Get tysburg" Pays Tribute to Tablet for History -That Lives In the Hearts of Men. NINE PERSONS SENTENCED Jail and Imprisonment to Punish Xine Caught In Raid.

Luclle Smith, charged with dis orderly conduct, was sentenced to 20 days in jail. Others arrested In the raid were released. How was the fame of Paul Revere Insured to that hard-riding patriot of Revolutionary days? At the first guess, you're wrong, contends Fred Emerson Brooks, . the California poet. Long fellow immortalized Revere because the hero's name came trippingly from the tongue, and rang musically, Whereas, a certain William Dowe who rode just as gallantly on the same mis sidn is unknown to all save dusty his torians. "The poem is the thing to preserve historical incident, observed Mr. Brooks yesterday, as he sat in the Y. M. C. A., just back from his entertain ment tour of the spruce camps. "So Paul Revere got his due but poor "Bill1 Dowe, whoever heard of him? "But It is the fact," pursued Mr. Brooks, his glance twinkling above the half-portion eye glasses, "that Mr. Dowe rode on the same mission as did Mr. Revere, on the same night, in the same cause. And not one in a million is aware of his patriotic venture. Yet, I venture to say it does not irk him in his sleep. Poem Tablet for History. . "But the poem is the tablet for his tory that is to live in the hearts of men. Balaklava the chances are that you and I would never have known of it had not Tennyson written his 'Charge of the Light Brigade.' And so we have that immortal picture of gal lantry to carry with us. 'Now here is a singular thing" Mr. Brooks removed his eyeglasses, scratched them meditatively in the gray stubble of his goatee and re sumed. "Notice that the charge at Balaklava recedes, the reader visions it as it sweeps away, with the sabers flashing. But in "Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg,' of which you have had the courtesy to speak, the charge drives straight at one. Ah, yes! The only poem of its sort! A tribute to a gallant foe, such as I feel we poets alway should pay." in American literature the poem, "Pickett's Charge," holds a position justly comparable to that of the "Charge of the Light Brigade" strictly English literary fields. It ad mirably illustrates Mr. Brooks' conten tlon that 'the historical incident finds proper setting in verse and it was written by the same genial fellow who is today touring the spruce camps of Oregon as a Y. M. C. A. entertainer. Boys Seem to Like It. "Up and down the coast, from camp to camp, cantonment to cantonment, have traveled on this work," explained Mr. Brooks. "Perhaps I am an elocu tionist. How I dislike that word! Humor, pathos, patriotism, I pull 'em out from the files and the boys seem to like it. They surely do!" Mr. Brooks spent yesterday In Port land conferring with John A. Goodell of the Y. M. C. A. bureau in charge of spruce camp activities, relative to his engagements up and down the coast of Oregon, wherever the boys are hewing feathers for the eagle s wings. He der livered, aa per order, a song-poem called "Spruce Up, Uncle Sam!" which is to have appropriate music and be sung in the camps. The chorus runs We're the Army's eye: For we make the "fir" fly. And we cut the spruce that controls the guns. Every soldier sings As the great ax swings give to the eagle bis glorious wings For dropping hell's eggs on the horrible Huns. 4 cial.)

By the nature of the services and the strictness of the censorship, it happens that almost nothing is known of this work, although the story is one of incalculable interest. Ralph D. Paine was at last selected to write the account He was peculiarly fitted by former journal istic experience. He reported the naval side of the Spanish American War, and his story of the battle of Santiago Bay has never been forgotten. With full credentials, Mr. Paine spent many weeks aboard both American and British destroyers. He saw our boys afloat in their high fighting moments. He saw submarines in action, and saw them destroyed. His brilliant narrative will bring a thrill to every American.
