'.'Bob's always that way when his 'hardware' is missing and I saw him put it aside as he came in the door." , A little later Bob was seen smiling and happy. Portions of his coat haa the appearance of the face of a boy with the toothache. Bob had recovered his battery and felt at ease once more. Colonel Bush Still in Town. GOLONEL BUSH, the well known " taxpayer of Bull Run. was Inter viewed last night as he left the Heilig theatre, and as usual the colonel chose his own subject'; . "While primarily I came to Pprtland to Investigate the city manager plan of government, I am also investigating the censorship of moving pictures, and t naturally I dropped In to see my old friend, Al Jolson, dance . around. I thought the show was all right. But." :he added, reminiscently, "Idon't know whether Mrs. Bush would have liked the costumes and of course U's too late In the week to send for her 1o cen sure the show. I don't know Mrs. Col .well or Mrs. Newill or Mrs. Gray, or ; I'd ask them to give Al's girls the once over? they probably being tired of be ing shocked by pictures.

" FALL FASHION INDICA TIONS. n tn September Woman's noma companion, wnicn is called a "Fashion Forecast Number, Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion editor, gives the news of the fall fashions. Following is a brief ex tract from her reports . "The masquerade is over! And I, fofl. one, am thankful. Women are no going to dress like real women, and no longer need imitate a bag. a box, a walking stick or a toadstool. Instead of cultivating grotesque lines we may make the most of the lines we have. The change is from queer to quiet, and from freak to form. "How. do I know, you ask? Simply by applying expert advice and experi ence. Just as one peers through a big telescope in the hope of seeing other celestial bodies invisible to the naked eye. "Much of this change many of the new ideas In dress have been In fluenced by the war. It could not be otherwise. Paris and Fashion always go hand in band. It has saddened the former and sobered - the latter."

"Order! Order!" called the chairman. Mr. Addis' Dream Realized. YX7 H. ADDIS is not mentioned in vv the free-for-all race for Ore gon's most efficient and serviceable citisen, but for all that, his friends call Addis the father of the free library system in Portland. In the early '80's he and a few others agitated and worked to maintain a free reading room in Nonpareil hall, which was sit uated in. the attic rotunda of a shack on First and Jefferson streets. It had many -vicissitudes and remov als, this embryo free library, but final ly got on its feet and nosed Its" way to the public appropriations. Its value in the public estimation continued to increase. Portland has acknowledged, by popu lar vote several times its high appre ciation of the public libraries of Port land, and every suburb wants one much more than when Addis kept the doors Of the old free reading room open without salary and without price, and dreamed of some day getting a pub licly owned establishment and one per son employed half the tim5-at least, looking after it. "I am. outclassed on publio honors," said Mr. Addis, "because I have al ways been too busy doing things for other people to come within 1999,999 of being a millionaire; but that libra ry building certainly looks good to me. It certainly does, and it's not Carne gielzed, either." "Valley of the Moon ft Portrays Romance National Presents Jak London's Story la Which Teamster Is Hero and Poor Girl rtnd Happiness. "The Valley of the Moon," is a well acted picture play at the National, In which Jack London takes a prize fighter and teamster for a hero and a laundry girl for a heroine and portrays real romance among American work ing people, with hardly a touch of wealth .or splendor in it. "Saxon" proves a true wife to "Billy Roberts," even when he goes back to fighting, gets tangled up In a team sters' strike and for drunken brutality with a lodger gets "sent up" for 30 days. With the scenes are shown the brown hills o California, and all m an interesting, realistic manner. The scenes of the teamsters' strike are overdrawn, such misrepresentation of labor is not uncommon in the movies Realistic ring fights make it a lively wTh,e yung married lovers get land hunger of the race so strong upon them they turn tramps seeking a rarm. A friend tells them such a tarm as they seek can only be found in a valley of the moon.

MANAGER GIVES VIEWS Ordinance trader Whlck Censorship Board Wow Operates Said to Be Baagarous Weapon. "Enforcement of drastic laws and measures inimical to the Interests of the moving picture people in Oregon .Is apt in the future to deprive this city of the privilege of being a distributive I point for the films and Seattle would logically benefit because of Portland's loss," said T. C. Malcolm, manager of the General Film company. "If this unfortunate condition re sults, it simply 'means that Portland, so to speak, will become a way station and the central depot and clearing house will be on Puget sound. I would regret to see this come about. I am intensely interested In the future wel fare of Portland and am anxious to see any worthy industry succeed here, but I will say that if this system of perse cution of the moving picture interests both film exchange men and theatri cal managers does not cease, some thing will have to be done in self defense. Portland Would Suffer. "In the event, of Seattle being made the central point for Oregon, Washing tori and Idaho, it would slmolv mean that Portland would have to use films at convenient times. The business is one of much detail and value of films is based upon their age. Delays which we have already been contending with have resulted in severe losses. "I am strictly opposed to the present means of censorship In Portland. The policy in vogue' under the present city Ordinance appears to be a narrow, shortsighted one. The vast financial interests of the theatre men and film exchange men seem to be forgotten in the attempt to enforce the ordinance to the letter. "The present city ordinance makes no provision for an appeal, such as we had ixpder the old measure. If our films fail to meet the approval of the board, or the dominating factor of it, it simply means that we. have to bow to their demands pr lay ourselves liable to arrest and fine and possibly Im prisonment. Calls Ordinance Dangerous. "If we are arrested now we are pro hibited from showing the film com plained .of to the Jury, as evidence. We have no means of determining the fair ness of the criticism from an Impartial standpoint.' We are railroaded, virtual ly, and there is nothing to do but await the decision as to whether we have actually violated the technical pro visions ofthe ordinance. This ordi nance is so wide, has so many possi bilities of interpretation, that it is a dangerous weapon when not rightly used. "The value of an appeal board is self-evident in the following case: A certain film was condemned by the local board of censors February 27 and passed by the appeal board, headed' by Judge Stevenson, of ' the municipal court, on March 2 and run on March 3. The ordinance which we now have'was adopted March 22. The same film was again returned to Portland for exhibition-July 22, which fact led to the ar rest of the exhibitor under very em barrassing conditions for himself. Action Declared Unfair. "I contend that the action of the present censorship board was entirely wrong, grossly unfair to the exhibitor, and almost discourteous to the view of the case previously given by Judge Stevenson. I believe that the present board should respect all decisions made by the appeal board regardless of when given. These appeal decisions were ren dered only after the most careful in vestigation and personal Inspection. The Judgment was that of a person of unquestioned integrity and trained in the law, and one whose duty it is to dally mete out justice' to those who appear in his court. In addition the court in all film censorship appointed competent local men and women to aid him in reaching a decision. TheicJ j-uagment may -De said to rairly repre sent public opinion. ' ' Censorship Xs Approved. "I want to make myself absolutely clear ill this whole matter. I am not vindictive, am not seeking to make it a hardship for anyone who is trying honestly to enforce the law. in fact. I am always willing to aid In the en forcement of all laws. Again, I am heartily in favor of censorship of films. The business must be protected from unscruploug and deslgnlnsr per sons. But in the administration of the powers of the censorship board a mem ber thereof, is very- apt to make griev ious error in Judging between what is right and what is wrong.. "Many a good play has been ruined I because of the arbitrary action of the ono wielding the power of the censor. The proper kind of an ordinance in my estimation is one that wilt be practical in all its details and one that will per form a valuable service In improving the morals of the community: And such ordinance should not be enforced 1 m an antagonistic manner. The present ordinance falls far short from meeting the requirement of the present time," PERSONAL MENTION Trade - Commission at Multnomah.

AUTOMATIC WOULD SELL Question WBfcther Company Khonld Be Allowed to Setlre or Compelled to PulfiU Tranchlse. T. O. Wallace, a Chicago real estate man and alderman representing the Twenty-third ward in that city, was in Portland yesterday on his way-to the Panama-Pacific exposition, inquiring int -the two-phone situation in Port land during his visit. Chicago, like Portland, has both Bell and automatic lines, only the problem is somewhat different in the windy city. The automatic people with a plant and rights they value at $8,000,000 wish to sell out to the Bell people and the City council of Chicago is inter ested in knowing whether It should permit the sale or make the company keep on fulfilling the terms of Its fran chise, according to Mr. Wallace. Chicago counctlmen are . debating, therefore, whether it is more, expedient to allow the sale -or to show, through jthe. telephone company,, that a fran chise granted by the city of Chicago is not a thing lightly to be taken and then tossed' aside.
