WEDXESDAT, JTJLT 23, 1919. vention at Bellingham, Charles Perry Taylor,- organizer in this district for the American Federation of Labor, spoke before the delegates of the mis cellaneous trades section Monday. Explaining the purpose of the move BIBLE REWRITTEN BY -AD MAN. FORD'S PLAN in NYMPHS GUN PRAISE ment, he stated that "a corrective measure in the labor movement should not spell revolution, and emphasized that, "no. matter under what concep tion the proponents of the 'O.

The spacious grounds of the Henry L. Corbett country home at Dunthorpe yesterday proved the mecca to which journeyed over two hundred Portland devotees of art to witness an afternoon programme of interpretative dance given by Miss Katharine Laidlaw. Her programme, which consisted of five dances peculiarly fitted for outdoor ex pression, was further enhanced by an exhibition in aquatic art and education, sponsored by Miss Millie Schloth and four of her pupils. The huge sunken marble swimming pool in the Corbett grounds, and the green lawn rimmed in by magnificent trees and shrubbery, provided a perfect and natural setting for Miss Laidlaw'e dancing and for Miss Schloth's aquatic exhibition. Smartly gowned women, in cool garden-party frocks and carrying colorful parasols, and a sprinkling of men motored out to the Corbett place, or were met at Rivera station by mo tors sent from the Corbett'a in mid afternoon, arriving in time for the pro gramme beginning at 4:30. Setting? Is Ideal. An awning - covered amphitheater commanded a splendid view of the sunken pool and the woodland space where Miss Laidlaw's dances were given. A seven-piece stringed orches tra under the artistic direction of George A. Jeffery, provided a rich en dowment of music for the dances. Miss Laidlaw's series of interpreta tive dance creations, for their suita bility to her own personal graces and understanding of dance, for the con summate artistry with which she pro jected them, and for the sheer beauty of their expression brought demonstra tions of approval from an exacting and sophisticated audience. "The Dryad" was Miss Laidlaw's first number, a spirited, whimsical bit of pantomime grace. Her next dance exposition was an exquisite Grecian study, simple in treatment but potentially poetic. A beautiful Grecian urn set beside the sh Immertng pool gave further artistic significance to this lovely dance. Its rendition provoked quite a tumult of praise, a fine free and well-merited demonstration. The next number was an Oriental fantasy, "The Nautch Girl of Benares." a vivid, colorful frenzy of dance, spir ited and passionate. "Bluette" was a charming, quaint conceit in which Miss Laidlaw expressed the soul of a saucy coquette, in flounces and frills, with flower-bedecked curls and a provoca tive smile on her lips the while she danced like a gay little moonbeam. Dance IV timber Liked. "Primavera," her closing number, proved to be an instant hit with her audience, and the eventful dance pro gramme reached its artistic apex, in the opinion of many, as the exceedingly lithe and graceful dancer swayed in her green draperies, rose-crowned against the beautiful background of pine trees. The dance programme was inter spersed by aquatic diversions, in which Miss Schloth, who Is instructor of swimming in Portland's public schools, presented four of her youngest girl pu pils, all of them products of the public school system. Miss Schloth, who has a magnetic personal appeal, gave an added value to her exhibition by a de lightfully informal illuminative dis cussion of each aquatic achievement. Scientific diving in its varied devel opments, a fine and fascinating demon stration of different strokes and exhi bition swimming was given by Bertha Grover, Ada Stark, Loretta Beaudette and Elizabeth Chrisman, the oldest of whom is 11 and the youngest 7. Their educational exhibition was fol lowed by a highly delightful series of games in the water and fancy dives and divertisements, in which their instruc tor joined, to the huee delight of the overjoyed audience. Miss Schloth cam, up from Gearhart especially for thfi occasion. She is swimming instructor at Gearhart at the natatorium during the summer.

Millionaire' Motor Maker Asserts lie Can Read but Dislikes to Do So Out Loud. MOUNT CLEME.VS, Mich., July 22. That at one time he had considered navtng his advertising manager re write the Bible Into plain, modern Eng lish, Henry Ford admitted today In the course of his examination on the witness stand by counsel for the Chi cago Tribune. The disclosure was made by Mr. Ford answering a question Involving Charles Brownell, In charge of the J Ford advertising activities. The plan. however, was not carried out. Mr. Stevenson, counsel for the Tribune, in concluding his examination of Mr. Ford asked the witness if he was opposed to higher education. He denied that he was. "After some hesitation, and in jus tice to yourself, Mr. Ford, I feel that it is best to ask you If you can read. The impression has gone out here, by your repeated declinations to read from important papers, that you cannot read Can you?" - "Yes, but I read slowly and am both ered by hay fever, which makes it un pleasant for me to read out loud. I don't like to do it for that reason." Ford Lawyer Takes 'vVltnens. After six days of examination by Elliott G. Stevenson, counsel for the Chicago Tribune, defendant in the $1,000,000 libel suit, Mr. Ford was in terrogataed today by his friend and personal attorney Alfred Lucking.

"I don't know." "'It cost a couple of millions anyway, didn't it?" "Yes, more than that I think; three or four millions perhaps," said Mr. Ford. He established a refuge for Belgians in England In 131 and still maintains it, but said he did not know exactly what it was costing him. Questioned as to war work in the Ford foctories. Mr. Ford said all of them were devoted to some form of war work. He added that he dropped every thing else and gave his full time to supervising this work.

Too muck Turkisli or Just enough '" Turkish? rr one way, at least, smoking is exactly like eating. The more rich and delicious a certain food is, the more care people take to avoid eating too much of it for instance, plum pudding or candy. The same rule applies to smoking. Cigar smokers, for example, are today more careful to avoid too many rich, heavy Havanas. (In fact, more and more cigar smokers now smoke cigarettes too, to help cut down the number of cigars.) In the same way, cigarette smokers are learning that Turkish tobacco, delicious as it is, is so over-rich or heavy that a man can easily smoke too much of it. But they are learning also that, instead of cutting down the number of cigarettes per day, they can cut down on the proportion of Turkish in each cigarette. How to reduce on Turkish I 'HEY can do this by switching from straight Turkish to part Turk ish, or "Turkish blend," cigarettes. The first Turkish blend cigarette ever made and the one which has always held first-rank importance is Fatima. Falima contains more Turkish than does any other Turkish blend cigarette. Perhaps this is the main reason why so many smokers of straight Turkish cigarettes keep switching to Fatimas. Less worry about "too many" ANOTHER reason undoubtedly is - the fact that Fatimas treat Fatima's Record At scores of places where one would expect only fancy, straight Turkish ciga rettes to sell, Fatima is today the leader. For example, Fatima is the largest seller at: Atlantic City Nt-w York Marlboroueh-Blenheim Hotel Aator smokers so kindly. The Turkish is so perfectly "balanced" by the other tobaccos in the blend that Fatima smokers never have any worry about smoking "too many." A T any rate, whatever the reason may be, Fatima keeps on attract ing more and more of those smokers who, if they preferred the fancy, expensive, straight Turkish ciga rettes, could easily afford them. This is shown, of course, by Fatima's record in having won the top notch in sales at so many of the fashionable clubs and hotels and other prominent places all over the country (see below). How much is "just enough"? T"OES not Fatima's record seem to prove that this is the one ciga rette containing just enough Turkish? Not too much nor too little Turkish, but just enough.
