TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 6. 1920 IT Money Declared Tied Up in Present Rate Schedule. READJUSTMENT IS ASKED State Highway Commission Seeks to Get Change on Shipment of Building Materials. 1 f4rL;f tkm- Al-v Mh ffiV W4, JJr ' & y vl rfe v " M That a readjustment of freight rates on road building materials, ap proximating the former schedule. would result In a direct saving of $150,000 to the state highway commls slon funds, in shipments of materials now ordered for current work, was the statement or J. M. Devers, assist ant attorney-general, appearing yes terday before the Oregon public serv ice commission, in a hearing to deter mine whether the new freight rates on this class of burden are discrim inatory. The hearing embraced two cases for the investigation of freight rates on road materials and came to its con elusion late last night. A decision is not expected for some time to come. One case was brought before the com mission on complaint of the state highway department, protesting ex isting rates on sand, gravel, rock, ce ment and asphalt, and alleging that the new rate on these materials es sential to the highway programme is approximately 30 per cent higher than the old. Main Linen Represented. The second case constituted an in vestigation brought on the commis sion's own motion, and its scope cov ered the rates on road building ma terial with the exception of cement and asphalt. Main lines of railroad operating within the state were Jointly repre sented in defense of the present rates and testimony was taken from offi cials of the O.-W. R. & N. company, the Southern Pacific and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle company. H. A. Hinshaw, general f reighfagent of the Southern Pacific, was the first wit ness called. He offered tabulated rate comparisons in defense of the conten tion that the. new tates on road build ing mateitials are not discriminatory and are no higher than those on other commodities of the same classifica tion. Discrimination la Charged. It was the contention of the state highway department that these ma terials, when deprived of their former status under the class rate and placed in the commodity rating, did not re tain the relationship they formerly bore toward other classifications of freight. The new rate on road build ing materials, it was alleged, is of greaterincrease than the new rates on other commodities which were for merly in the same column. The commission will review the tes timony and'evidence at length before returning a decision. It is even prob able that a continuance of the case may be advisable, with a more de tailed inquiry.

WOMAN, a hound and a wal nut tree. The more you beat 'em, the better they be." This Is the theory, worked out with variations and scientifically applied, of Sam McGinnls, erstwhile officer of n overseas regiment and present butler in "one of our best families." Sam McGinnis is Thomas Meighan to the screen and Norman Trevor to the speaking stage, and Thomas Melghan and Norman Trevor are per haps the two handsomest idols of modern drama, for they can not only make hearts stop beating, but they can also act. Norman Trevor is still appearing daily in the "Civilian Clothes" com edy drama on Broadway, while Thom as Meighan is this week starting his "first run" in Portland at the Colum bia theater. Incidentally it is Meighan's first real starring vehicle. "Civilian Clothes" is the aftermath of a war romance. Sam McGinnis, in an officer's "uni," with many brass buttons and a Sam Brown belt, was exceedingly handsome in the eyes of a certain society girl who went to France when it was the fashion to do relief work. So they were mar ried with all the pomp of an over seas military wedding. The girl re turned home,- alone, for Sam was re ported missing. She took her old name again and the fact that she was a "war widow" gave her even more prestige and fascination in the eyes of society. In a "hand-me-down" suit of "civies" Sam returned to claim his wife and smash the romantic pillar on which society and she had placed Screen Gossip. Two sets of subtitles in English 'should accompany every film made for both American and British exhi bition, according to Charles Gordon, the young leading man from London who is working in pictures in Los Angeles. According to Gordon, the subtitles that accompany American pictures in British theaters are often utterly un intelligible and sometimes ' laughable because of a double meaning. "For instance," Gordon said, "the word 'stomach' is only used in England by physicians. Itis considered vul gar, and the half-humorous phras 'Little Mary' is used ln its place. Another common British expression is 'fortnight,' meaning approximately two weeks, which we never see Id American subtitles." Gordon says that some words in good standing in America are regard ed as highly vulgar in England and that some current British expressions would cause a riot In an American theater. He suggests an Englishman to write the subtitles for American photodramas that are scheduled for English distribution, and an Amer ican subtitle writer for the occasional British film that finds its way to America.

CREAMERY DEAL HELD UP Coos Ray Dairymen Slow Disposing Plant to League. MARSHFIELD. Or.. Oct. 5. (Spe cial.) The Oregon Dairymen's league is not having the best of sailing on Coos bay, where It bargained for purchase of the Coos Bay Mutual creamery, a concern owned by' ranch ers.

The creamery, since joining the league, has a debt of J27.000 for milk received from stockholders, and in the event of a sale for stock only, ranchers who do not wish to become stockholders in the league would be slow to approve It.

The way to getbetter clothes than you have been wearing is to go to the store that sells a better brand of clothes than you have been buying. Men who wear Society Brand Clothes never have secret worries whether or not they are dressing up to their position. They know, in the first place, that their clothes are of approved style. They know that the tailoring will stand the closest scrutiny, and that the fabrics of all-wool will give the clothes a wearing cftiality most unusual. One more thing: When you have tried on a Society Brand Suic when you like its looks, like its fit, and are secretly and pleasantly surprised at how stylish and well you can look in a really good suit take your wife's advice and buy it Don't look around some more. Don't tell the merchant you'll come back later The way to get better clothes and be better dressed is to go to a better store and buy the better clothes and wear them It's that simple.
