Undoubtedly she would enjoy vastly better Mark Twain's story at the Liberty. "Why Change Your Wife?" the present Columbia picture, should prove a 'great liberator and godsend to the men of Portland and their brothers in other cities where the cinema also shows. It is a great ser mon against wifely interference in such matters as smoking too much, spending money for personal pleasure while Europe starves, bringing pet dogs into the house and the thou sand and one other things which the average husband enjoys or fails to enjoy because of his spouse's dis pleasure.

Thomas Meighan, who will always be. remembered as Tom Burke by those who saw him in "The Miracle Man,'" has the role of the. husband whose intentions were good, but who had a failing for jazz, for a wee drop now and then and who even 'liked the Follies. Gloria Swanson, who appeared with Meighan in "Male and Female," appears in this production first as a woman who not only enjoys classical music, but who invites tem peramental musicians to their home so that her husband may also im prove his mind.' Bebe Daniels makes an ideal vamp, who teaches the hus. band to appreciate some qualities he could not formerly see in the wife who made herself only conspicuous by constant fault finding.

But victory left some things to be accounted for. And "this is one of them. The Government said to the Waltham Watch Company: "We need your skill and creative genius in this national enter prise.' Waltham came to atten tion, saluted, and went to work. Let us imagine for a moment what happened. Here were over five thousand people, and a great organization suddenly turned aside from supplying the normal demand for Waltham products to the abnormal demands of war and its accessaries. What this entailed cannot be told here, but the genius of Wal tham is American genius and deeds speak louder than words. a AMERICAN ships and the large accretions to our glorious navy could not go to sea without accurate, delicately adjusted chronometers and they were supplied by Waltham. American aeroplanes could not climb into the skies without clocks that would withstand the vibrations of powerful motors and abnormal extremes of tem- Eeratare demanding the roost exact orological adjustments and they were supplied by Waltham. American motor transports and auto mobiles required speedometers and sturdy shock and stress resisting time pieces and they were supplied by Waltham. Our beloved sofdiers, who fought and died for us, needed watches, and thou sands of Waltbams went into battle and kept record of Time that shall ever be memorial. Indeed, "Waltham" in Paris supplied service 'behind the lines for repairs, etc, and was officially recognized as Watch headquarters for the A. E. F. And this is not all a SOMEWHERE in the United States Uncle Sam approves tbe gifts that his sons of genius create for the glory of his name. ' It is night. A few hooded and power ful electric lights search the darkness to reveal a huge gun, around which are gathered a few men who serve this giant of strength. A sharp word of command! A flame of fire! A concussion that rocks the earth! The roar of a shell I A few tense, numbered seconds! Then, out there on the far horizon, a burst of fire miles away an explosion timed to infinitesi mal moments by Waltham. This, the triumph of Waltham genius a time-fuse that splits a second into a hundred parts that far exceeds in instantaneous accuracy all other time fuses hitherto invented that sends each shell to its destination governed by Waltham's inventive genius hidden in the apex of the shell. Imagine this device, light enough and of such delicate accuracy to explode the charge at a hundredth of a second, fired in a shell with a velocity of 2,700 feet per "second, and leaving the gun's rifled, barrel at 25,000 revolutions per minute. Talk of "position" time-keeping-;-here is a whirligig of motion a "posi tion" test . that subdues competitive argument. And imagine a timepiece strong and durable enough to endure a blow, a strain, a stress of two pounds to each grain of its weight. A terrific reaction for the honor of America when the gun is fired. it Waltham Time-Fuse NEVER in the world's history ha there been such miraculous time keeping, such performance, such, absolute reliability under such abnormal, conditions. As Americans, we have m right to be proud of Waltham genio. ( But if it had not been for nearly three-quarters of a century filled with, work behind the Waltham time-fuse, it would not have been years in front of i all others. Pre-eminence is iter own.' reward. " Years of concentrated development on an infinitesimal unit oft times out of sight in the works of the watch, have added renown to the name of; Waltham. - The Waltham Watch, upon whose universal time-keeping the sun never) sets, is but an older brother cf thisj marvelous time-keeper in the shell." Q WE have told you these facts because they supply some reasons why Waltham Watches are not plenti ful. We are concentrating every re-, source of our organization to meet a national demand which is a tribute to Waltham excellence. We know that if your dealer cannot supply yon immediately with your choice of a Waltham Watch he will be able to supply you before long. And a Waltham Watch is worth waiting for. Grade for grade no foreign watch can compare with it. a E have made many statements of Waltham invention in the me chanics of watchmaking we have opened the door of the "works" in a Waltham Watch and created American pride in this Waltham masterpiece. We have claimed world leadership in watchmaking. "Here are the proofs" has been our challenge and our pride. Proofs we have given and still more proofs we intend to give: science at its utmost in the alloy of a metal, in the polishing of a part, in the setting of a jewel, in the hardening and tempering of steel, in the design of a balance staiT, in the bend of a guard pin or the structural curve of a spring little things, hidden things. Yet it is these scientific inventions, developments call them what you will that have carried the fame of Wal tham unto the uttermost ends of the earth. You protect your investment. You are assured time-keeping dependability. You forestall costly repairs.

Illinois Senator Is at Washington to Delve Into Outcome of Presi- j dential Campaign. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Waahing'ton, April 27. Former United States Senator "Jim Ham" Lewis of Illinois, who never forgrets to mention that he started his polit ical career in the northwest as a member of congress from Washing ton state, arriving: here today, busied himself with delving: IrHo the out come of the present national cam paign. His Own ambitions in the tail end of the national democratic ticket this year cropped ou,t at several points in his prophecies and it was agreed that he made out a good case for himself, but that will be told later. "The republicans," - he said, his pink whiskers, except for color, giv ing: tbe effect of a strutting peacock, "will nominate either Charles E. Hughes of Ne-.ir York, or Senator Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota. A dark horse will be nominated anV Hughes occupies a strategic advant age because he stands .well before the country and with all elements of his party. He enjoys the confi dence of the business man and is popular with labor- because of .his active opposition to unseating- the socialist members of the New York legislature. "He is trusted by labor as indicated by his recent retention by the mine workers officials to defend them in the government prosecutions. But if the republican convention Is still looking for a still darker horse, Frank Kellogg will be the next choice." , . "Now as to the democratic nomina tions," said James Hamilton, with a twinkle of his eye. as he smoothed a recalcitrant bristle back into its rightful position, to give a clear vista to an unexplored dimple at the point of his chin, "that is a different mat ter." "The democrats must be exceed ingly particular in picking a ticket and there Is no doubt that an east ern and a western man would make the logical team. Preferably the democratic candidate for vice-president should come front Illinois. Mc Adoo and Lewis, for example, would sound good," and then, with a grace ful gesture, he volunteered this ad ditional information: "The matter has already been suggested to McAdoo and he agreed that such a ticket would Induce harmony and broad ap peal Inasmuch as he uses a razor and I do not." appropriate water from an unnamed spring for domestic purposes.
