Eggs, which have been curtailed In all places by cold, will be more plentiful tomorrow on the market than ab any time since the cold spell began.

This picture was first shown in this country In 1914. In its present revival It is being presented in all parts of the United States and la meeting with the same favor that marked its first Showing. "Cabirla" was made in Italy. Gabri ele d'Annunzlo, the poet-soldier, wrote the scenario, supervised the settings and directed the majority of the scenes. The fact that the picture still is drawing crowds after seven years speaks well for the general excellence of the production. It serves to remind the public that spectacular pictures are not a devel opment of the last few years. A vol cano in eruption Is one of the first effects presented and there follow the destruction of a fleet and the clash of rival armies to furnish additional thrills. The picture Is said to be correct his torically and D'Annunzlo, to 'achieve this result, spent much time in prepa ration and nearly two years In mak ing the picture. The mode of fighting in ancient days Is particularly well presented, It is stated. Cabirla is founded on the struggle of Rome and Carthage for old-world supremacy. The story deals wla Ca- blria, a young girl, who is homeless after the eruption of Vesuvius. Fate throws her into the hands of the Car thaginians, where she Is saved from the sacrificial altar by Maciste. a giant slave, who is with his master on a secret mission from Rome. Maciste rescues Cabirla. but Is sentenced to ! life Imprisonment, chained to a mill stone. The entrance of the victorious Roman army at an auspicious moment furnishes an exciting cl max. Screen Gossip. Those who have read "Fanny Her self." Edna Ferber's story of big moments in the lives of simple peo ple, will particularly enjoy "No Woman -Knows," which will be the attraction at the Blue Mouse theater for only one week, starting today. The story concerns a young girl, who risks her own happiness in order to give greater comfort to her brother. The picture is said to be interesting because of its sincerity and dramatic force. "No Woman Knows" is the second big production to come from the producers of Priscilla Dean's re cent success, "Conflict" "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." European impressionistic mystery picture, which was presented at the Star theater for two days this week, will come back to the Star next Saturday for an extended showing.

Or., Jan. 20. (Spe 1al.) Interest haa been aroused here by the price asked by the owner o a quarter section of timber on the Coquil'.e river which has 10.000,000 feet of white cedar on It. The tenta tive price was set at 2260,000, but lumber manufacturers and others say the price is entirely out of propor tion to what a lumberman could realize if the property was logged and sawed into lumber. Those who profess to know say that $100,000 would be a big price for the tract, although it lies in a posl tion which would- permit its being logged cheaply. Another tract on South slough, containing half a sec tion. Is held at $127,000. This timber is said to be 30 per cent white cedar.

Plan Contemplates System That Will Enable Eliglbles to Earn Money for Food. A plan for the relief of ex-service men and others on the lists of eligl bles to the police and fire depart ments will be embodied In an ordi nance by the city council next Wednesday, Mayor Baker auuounced yesterday. ' The plan in view, sponsored by Thomas A. Sweeney, chairman of the land committee of the American le gion, probably will provide four or five days' work a month to men on the eligible list by allowing members of the departments to take time off from duty without affecting their rights of priority and pay. An ordi nance will be drawn authorizing the proper commissioner to grant short leaves of absence to policemen and firemen who make voluntary applica tion. Under the present regulations, a man absent from his duties without good cause forfeits certain pay in creases and mars his record. "The idea for this plan of relief came from a chance remark by a member of the fire department, who later proved to have expressed the sentiment of many of .hls fellow workers." said Major Sweeney. "This man told me thaP he would like to 'lay off work for a day, but didn't want to impair his service record. Un der thd terms of the ordinance we propose a man may take a few days off each month and some worthy el igible who needs the money desper ately will be enabled to get money to buy food. There are 101 men on the fire department list and 90 per .cent of these are ex-service men." Mayor Baker said that he had con ferred with members of the council on the suggestion and felt sure the proposed ordinance would be passed. Flag Exercises Are Held.
