While In the east Mr. Taylor con ferred with several manufacturers who are contemplating establishing: fac torfes in the northwest and who will investigate Portland's sites and study the city's advantages. The convention." said Mr. Tayior. considered a great reconstruction pro gramme. About 2000 realty mrn from all parts of America attended, making the meeting the largest ever held. "Chirf on the programme were re construction and consideration of the vast work which the national associ ation and Its auxiliaries, state and lo cal boards, have undertaken to make real mate a liquid asset. This great plan, now on the road toward fulfill ment, means that the taxes, rentals and values of properties throughout Amer ica mut be adjusted so that the mar ket will be stabilized and standard ized.

The third step calls for the close co-operation of realtors with the government in Its bis Own Your Home campaign.

"In this connection Paul Murphy. president of the Portland Realty board, imd chairman of h national own your home committee, made a splendid re port to the national association on the work which h Is directing and Port land came In for much commendation as a result." Throughout the Kast. said Mr. Tay lor, the movement of real estate is very active and the concensus of opinion is that the Pacific northwest will soon find Its markets accelerating to marked degree. At the convention experts predicted that It will be years before the price of building materials decrease, and most of them predicted that prices likely would continue to rise.

VIOLA DANA, one of the newest of screen comedians, is said to score her biggest hit In "Some Bride," being shown this week at the Star theater. Since the picture opened on Saturday It has been drawing; unusually well. according to Manager Lacey. The story centers around a pretty bride who cannot make her eyes be have, even though her jealous husband , constantly reminds her of the recent vows she has taken. The schemes of the irate husband to cure his frivolous wife of flirting and the plans of the gay little wife to cure her spouse of foolish jealousy result in some situa tions that are uproariously funny. "Some Bride" Miss Dana appears in several unusually startling and stunning costumes. Among these is one of white fur. reaching, only to the knees and worn with a white fur choker collar and white fur wristlets and anklets. The costume was de- ; signed for a masquerade ball and the i pretty wife was easily recognized as i l white leghorn or "some chicken, as the rogues at the ball exclaim. The costume, however, did not help friend husband s disposition. The play is an all-around fiood farce.
