WHITMAN' COLI-EGH. Walla Walla, Wasn., Dec. 12. (Special.) Results of a study of the needs and problems of the small town, ranging in population from 300 to 3000, in the three states of Washington, Ore gon and Idaho, have recently been made public by the Bureau of Muni cipal Research of Whitman college. The mayors were requested to answer questionnaires stating conditions in their towns, and what was needed to improve their community. One hundred and thirty-five mayors replied. Results of the survey have been made public by H. A. Trexler, pro fessor of the department of political science at Whitman, who continues as follows: "On one item of the questionnaires, What do you think that your town needs most?' nearly all the mayors had some comments to make. Many of these twentieth century Richard Whittingtons are extremely alert to village needs, others are somewhat self-conscious, some were bored, and a few gifted with a fine sense of humor. Many Are Humorists. "One writes: 'Our people are very enterprising and prosperous and at present are amply supplied with all necessities.' Another, far less san guine, admitted that his town 'needs two or three funerals', another that a 'new mayor' would be a blessing, and still another that his village needs 'almost anything." One law abiding mayor declared that his habitat wanted 'less I. W. W.', while another longed for 'live-wires.' "The great majority of these mayors had definite material objects near their hearts. These needs were tabulated. The investigator, how ever, must be cautioned against hastily concluding that each mayor correctly views the shortcomings of his little domain. A mayor fresh from the city would think his new home stagnant and would long for 'live-wires'. A mayor with local in vestments would be more interested In factories and payrolls than would another. The morals or the enter prise in two towns might be similar while their mayors, varying in in terest, would view the situation differently. Only 15 Want Sewers. "In tabulating the needs of these 135 towns the following results were obtained: "The material needs, so-called, may be divided into public improve ments and business expansion. Eight mayors called for better public buildings of various kinds. Only 15 longed for sewer systems, despite the fact that SI of these towns had no manner of public sewerage disposal. Only 15 wished pavements, though 60 of them had no pavements whatever. Ten of these villages had no water system and of these the mayors of only six expressed a desire for it. "The 'good-roads movement' bur dens the press of the northwest, yet only 10 of these 135 mayors thought of the matter when filling in the questionnaire. "Nine of the mayors would appre ciate hotels and five wanted rail roads. A few scattering ones men tioned better walks, schools, parks, lights, fire prevention, hospitals, etc. The total demand for public improve ments numbered 64. Housing; Dearth Overfstimated. "Quite a revelation is the fact that, despite the house-famine of the noruvieai, umy ocvcn niiyjia men tioned it. One thought that a build ing association would be a good thing. Evidently the smaller centers, most of which are in a state o stag nation as far as population is con cerned, are not touched seriously by the lack of dwellings as the neigh boring cities. , "If the mayors are modest as far as public improvements are con cerned, they are less demure when it comes to business needs. There were 93 objects of a commercial nature mentioned. Sixteen wanted factories and their resultant payrolls. Five could see the advantage in the local investment of capital. Thirty three saw the need of certain varie ties of business houses. "Capital, either from private or public sources, for the purpose of irrigation, was somewhat emphatic ally insisted upon by five mayors. The recent droughts in so many parts of the west would warrant one in expecting that the reaction to this stimulus would be much greater. In fact, the far-western press has been of late fairly reeking with cries for j water'. ' iXlne eed Amusement. "The moral and intellectual short comings of the villages, as the mayors viewed the situation, were far less numerous than were the more tan gible ones listed above. They num ber 34 all told. "Nine mayors considered that some wholesome form of amusement for the young people was a crying need. Six wanted libraries, four would welcome churches, two wanted min isters, and two others consolidation of weak churches. One looked upon a troup of Boy Scouts as an organi zation to be desired. One longed for 'more moral influences' and another for 'intellectual development.' "The number of small western towns which need most of tfle fore going good things is legion, and jet the 135 mayors sent in only 34 of these items relative to higher life. When we consider that several mayors asked for more than one of these immaterial objects it can be seen that about SO per cent of them did not consider the things that en noble life worth mentioning."

Globe Norma Talmadge, "Yes or No." THE adventures of an Italian tenor in a spacious laundry basket and a general mix-up of wives and husbands provide the rippling: eerLes of hilarious comedy situations ot "Twin Beds," the present feature of the Majestic theater programme. The picture is a film adaptation of the well-known stage farce of the same name. The story concerns the results of a blunder made by Signor Monti, a singer, upon his return home from a little party at the club In which the sigrnor sadly overestimates his capacity for anti-Volstead stimu lants. In his befuddled condition, Monti wanders into the wrong rooms of the apartment house in which he lives. , He enters the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins. The husband happens to be away for the night, and his wife is sound asleep in one of the twin beds. The intruder manages to get undressed, and attired in Haw kin's pajamas and a silk hat bliss fully retires in the other bed. But in the morning complications naturally arise, and the funniest scenes of the picture take place. The play is the bedroom type of comedy, but it is staged in a manner that is wholesome and entirely with out vulgarity. The cast is made up of Mr. and Mrs. Carter Ie Haven, "William Des mond, Helen Raymond, . Katherine Lewis, William J. Irving and Lottie Williams. Other attractions of the Majestic bill are Pathe News, a Chester outing picture and the playing of Cecil Teague at the organ. Screen Gossip.
