BUTTER DROPS PREDICTED Dairymen's League and Distribu tors Accept 'ew Rates; Farm ers Are Apprehensive. Kew retail prices of milk ordered by the municipal milk commission were placed in effect yesterday by Portland distributors,, according to A. M. Work, general manager of the Portland Damascus Milk company, who has represented the distributora in the controversy -which has been waged between milk producers and distributors. In a few Isolated Instances, Mr. Work declared, some days may trans pire before the new prices become ef fective. Inability to notify all the distributors yesterday, he said, made it possible that one or two distrib utors mlsrht not have changed from the old to the new prices. The retail price of milk has been reduced 2 cents a quart and con sumers who pay in advance for the milk will now pay 13 cents a quart and 14 cents a quart will be the price to those who pay at the end of the month. Milk sold In grocery stores should not cost more than 15 cents a quart, according to the distributors. For merly the grocers charged 17 cents a quart for milk. Distributors charge the grocerymen 12 cents a quart for milk under the new scale of prices. Batter Reduction Predicted. Acceptance of the new prices estab lished by the commission was made by both the milk distributors and the producers represented by the Oregon Dairymen's league. Alma D. Katz, president of the league, is now in New York making a study of milk conditions in the east and the various plans in vogue there to avoid surplus of milk. Few changes in the plan of handling league milk will be made until Mr. Katz has returned, when it is expected that he -will formulate a fteneral new plan of procedure, which ? 's "believed, will take up the various 1 ommend-' ions of the commission pertaining j the reduction of the milk surplus. Possibility of a marked reduction in the cost of butter to the consumer Is predicted by some persons well versed in dairy conditions. Condens ries are not now shipping canned milk to any extent, but many of these condenserles have milk contracts which must be fulfilled. It is gen erally believed that when the con denseries complete canning milk for consumption In the United States the milk supply reverting to the plants will be separated and the condenseries will begin the manufacture of butter. If this is done, butter in large quan titios will be placed on the market. Famirni Are Apprehensive. Farmers generally are apprehensive over the situation. The farmers con .. tend that the reduction in milk and , possible reduction In the cost of but ter is forced by conditions peculiar to the milk industry, but that similar drops in the cost of farm implements ; and necessities will not follow, leav . ing the farmer alone to bear the losses. r I1 , i VV -?

Not that I dis approve of the other kinds; certainly not. At parties and balls I am very happy dancing every modern dance, but I believe I daace them more for sociability or to maintain 4ny part in the party rather than because 1 am particularly fond of stepping. "The dance I really love is one founded on the principles of beauty, purity, sincerity and harmony. You will agree with me that most of the ballroom dances are founded on none of these. . "I am of the opinion that dancing must undergo an upheaval, a com plete regeneration. Dancers, to my way of thinking, must have an in tensive appreciation for good music, even a love of music, but by that I do not mean they should be actual musicians, able to play an instrument. A dancer should feel every shade of tone muslo and express it muscu lar ly." Mrs. Kolb, who is May Cloy on the programme, delivered these opinions while seated on a trunk in her dress ing room, which she shares with her good friend and co-worker,, Marie Rich.

PICTURESQUE. wholesome and entertaining is "The Broken Melody," the best motion picture Eugene O'Brien has yet made, and which is showing this week, starting today, at the Peoples theater. Lucy Cotton, one of the prettiest women In screen or legitimate work, is his lead ing lady. "The Broken Melody" again offers O'Brien in the role of a painter. Again he comes to fame through the at tention of fashionable women with more money and leisure than sin cerity or generousnesa of nature. Again he defies fame and fortune just when it seems to be permanently hie and again it returns plus love and other things his soul craved. Yet the story is vastly different from "The Perfect Lover," one of his pictures in which these conditions were the tame. The continuity, the locale and action are of an entirely different world. Lucy Cotton plays the part of an ambitious singer living in the next apartment to the painter whom she adores and who Is portrayed by O'Brien. Looking after them is an old musician who desires for his two gifted children all the fame and glory which the world had seen fit not to give him. He belTeves professional success Is the most worth while fact which any human being can obtain and so because of his advice both Screen Gossip. A telegram was received by C. S. Jensen yesterday from New York say ing that the Jensen and Von Herberg offer for first run rights to "The Sil ver Horde" had been accepted.

It is now definitely es tablished that the picture will go to Jensen and Von Herberg and will in all probability be shown 'at the Lib erty theater.

Of 4600 refrigerator cars owned by the Northern Pacific, only 725 are now on the company's lines and the others are scattered all over the country. President Hannaford said today. At the same time, cars of other compa nies in possession of the Northern Pacific do not total 75 per cent of the cars missing from the Northern Pa cific lines. Of 75.000 cars of all kinds owned toy the company at the out break of the war, only about 50.000 re left, he said. (Jar shortage Is acute all over the country, because not more than one-fourth of the cars destroyed in the wear and tear of war service were replaced. There will be little railroad exten sion in the near future, he predicted Elimination of priority shipments will remedy "notorious" delay in freight shipments, he said, and although a central bureau might relieve the car shortage situation, it could hardly avert a shortage of refrigerator cars. Whether or not there would be suf ficient refrigerators to take care of the Yakima fruit movement he would not predict.
