Compton ol Salem, recently returned from over seas, bringing with him the croix d guerre awarded by Marshal Petain oi France for bravery in action, will be etate parole officer to succeed Joseph K. Keller. This announcement vat made by Governor Olcott today. Lieutenant Compton. after holding a commission with the national guard here since 1913, went overseas with the 162d infantry, formerly the 3d Oregon being connected with the headquarter: company. , After his arrival in Franct he was transferred to the famous 2t division, with the 23d infantry, anc placed in charge of Stokes mortar and 27 centimeter guns. He was for five months in the front line trenches before he received two wounds In action which sent him to the hospital. Hero Cited for Bravery. During his five months he partici pated in the five days' drive which re sulted in cleaning up the St. Millie! salient. After that he was transferred to the Champagne front, and was for five days in action there. On this front he received his wounds. For his work there under fire he received thee roix tie guerre, the citation showing that with his platoon he went through in tense machine-gun and artillery fire and still advanced. Although wounded twice he remained with his platoon under fire until he was relieved. He was for six weeks in the hospital and on sick leave when he started back for the front lines, but before reaching there the armistice was signed. Following the signing of the armis tice he was sent into the intelligence service of the second army and had command of criminal investigation company o. 7 for about two months. He came home with company M, 162d regiment. Appointee Veil Qualified. Considerable of his time in France was vpent in counter espionage work, lie being selected with a comparatively few men for difficult work of this kind because of his qualifications. For six years before going into the service he. was secretary of the V. M. C. A. in Salem and upon his return from France immediately returned to that position which he will leave to become parole officer. Lieutenant Compton is married. "I realize the necessity of securing a man for the position' of parole of ficer who has high qualifications," said Governor Oleo-tt, in announcing the ap pointment of Lieutenant Compton. "There is a large field for service in the parole office and it requires a man who is peculiarly fitted for the work. I have given a lot of time and thought to the selection of a man and I believe Lieutenant Compton will bring to the office just the qualifications which are necessary for giving the highest de gree of service. I'ositlon Held Important "I may say that I determined to ask Lieutenant Compton to act in this ca pacity without his knowledge and he was not an applicant for the place. He left a position which .commands a higher salary than the parole office because he believes he will be able to render a greater service in the new po sition than whre he is now. "The success or failure of the parole system depends largely upon the man who administers the functions falling to the parole officer and I fel confident that Lieutenant Compton will make a highly efficient man for that position. He has executive ability, a knowledge of men, and a general reputation which I believe make him eminently fitted for the post." S. & If- preen stamps, tor caalL Holman Fuel Co.. Main 353. A 3353.

One of the exciting episodes in Douglas Fairbanks' new Artcraft pic ture, "The Knickerbocker Buckaroo," which is being shown at the Peoples and Star theaters, is that ol the screen athlete climbing out of a window of a speeding Pullman, continuing up to the roof of the car and running along on the top of the train, then jumping to the swinging arm of a water feeder from which he leaps onto the back of a horse. This is the start of a thrilliflg chase in which 200 cowboys pursue P'airbar-ks for miles up into the hills. Arrangements were made with the of fice of the director-general of rail roads for the use. of an entire train for the scenes above described. An abandoned trark in the San Fernando desert was selected- for the location, because of the scenario demanding the desert atmosphere. Sunset. Wallace Reid in "The Hostage." and Charlie Chaplin in "The Pugilist," form the double photoplay bill at the Sun set theater, opening yesterday and clos!ng Friday nigh. The ever popula. "Wally" in "The Hostage" plays the part of the son of Brigadier Kemper, a leader of a divi sion of lowlanders who has invaded the peaceful country of the mountain eers. " Caught in a bad position, he is given as hostare for the good conduct of the invaders on their retreat. The brigadier means to violate the truce. He persuades his son to carry a dirk concealed on his person and instructs him to kill the leader of the mountaineers on a certain night and make his escape. The youth meets beautiful Nathp"-. the daughter of the mountaineer chief, falls in love w'th her, refuses to carry out his father's plans, is m: -1e a prisoner, the dirk is found on his person, he is or dered to be shot. He is taken out for execution whtn word is received that the lowlanders and mountaineers have declared peace to join forces against a common enemy.

Not only will the girls display their finery and pre sent a singing and' dancing revue on the Majestic stage, but they will be involved in a number of stunts to be staged during their eight-day stay here.

Wat roua, potentate of Nile temple, Seattle; Judge George Stapleton, representative from Al Kader temple, Portland, and W. J. Hofmann, potentate from the Portland temple.

The 1&19 school census of Kelso, just completed by G. A. Poland, clerk of the school board, shows almost a 10 per cent increase over the census of last year and sets a new record. There are 906 children of school age in the school district, divided among ihe precincts as follows: North Kelso, 331; South Kelso, West Kelso, 241. Last year's census1, which was considerably larger than any previous one, showed 847 children of school age, so that this year there are 59 more than in 1918. This great increase was indicated by the large enrollment in the schools and the shortage of residences in the city. At the Theaters. Strand. OF MORE than ordinary interest is the newest Fox photoplay "The Divorce Trap," which is vicing for first place with the vaudeville bill at the Strand this week. Gladys Brockwell is featured in the story, which is a dra matic and intensely vital expose of the modern social evil of easy divorce. The laws which make annulment of mar riages easy and remarriage immediately on technical grounds are discussed at pictorial length. Mtss Brockwell appears as a young telephone girl who marries a man of wealth. She is a good wife, but when her husband would divorce her she finds that all her virtues and goodness cannot offset the evidence he can buy with his money. By a clever turn of luck's wheel the girl proves the con spiracy existing against her, and at the end of her troubles finds happiness. The role affords opportunity for Miss Brockwell to offer some excellent dra matic work, and the whole picture teems with timely Interest. In the vaudeville bill a couple of di verting funsters are Powers and Hayes, who stop the show with a keen whist ling specialty. They sing too, excep tionally welL One of the twain is a re turned Sammle. Miss Carson, of charm and lndlvid ualitv. exnresses herself nicely in song. One of her best interpretations is a wop characterization, full of color and much comedy. Marsden and Barnes have a novelty skit called "Kiss Me Again." which babounds with comedy. Miss Barnes has a lovely singing voice which is best heard all too seldom by her demonstrative admirers. The audience would relish listening to Miss Barnes sing for about i half the show. The Aloha due are instrumentalists of an excellency, a man and a maid, who sing and play native Hawaiian airs and dance a bit too. The programme ends with a pictorial account of the recent trans-Atlantic aerial flight. I f ,s f: ma SlllllP?
