The well-known story of Ruggles, the valet to an English "younger son," who became the stake in a poker game and was ron by Senator Floud of Amer ica, is delightfully told in this film. The pert of Ruggles is taken with eclat by Taylor Holmes, while Frederick Burton takes the role of Counsln Egbert, the uncouth, whose education was In the mind of the senator's capable wife when he undertook to get Ruggles on her staff.. - "The Honorable George" is imperson ated by Lawrence D'Orsay, who depicts htm as a helpless, stolid Britisher of most boyish whimsicalities.

The plot is wrought without a flaw, It was made under the direction of experts In photo drama making. Being without a flaw the reviewer was beguiled Into believing the plot was going ahead at full speed until the picture was nearly over. So clever were the producers that they camouflaged the length of time it took to accomplish little. The-Scenes change from a Montana mining' -camp to the home of the leader of the most ""exclu sive" social set in Philadelphia,. Dorothy Dalton plays a girl of rare species. She sacrifices herself that , another woman who has treated her shamefully may not suffer. Her true worth was recognized when the truth was known-and the "ex clusive" family is glSd that she has become a member through, marriage, to the younger brother. The -family has learned a lesson and make amends. The girl's lack of "veneer" is overlooked. As a matter of fact, however, the "veneer" displayed by the family Is of the "be came rich" variety.

Screen Idol Returns In Good Play Portland moving picture fans and oc casional patrons saw the return of Earl Williams, Vitagraph star and screen idol, j if they went to the Peoples theatre Sun day. He opened this week's bill In that J playhouse with "The Balance. Accord- ing to the enthusiastic audience, his re turn to stardom was appreciated. Few screen leading men have survived the worshipful yet eager to be baneful ease of the public as long as the Vitagraph star. In "The Balance wunams nas an opportunity to play one of the roles In which he gained screen fame that of a young yet mature business man, either retired or active. "The Balance" was adapted from "The Hlllman," a novel by K. Phillips Oppenhelm. Grace D'Armand played opposite Williams. She was all that could be looked for in London stage favortie. An automo bile accident brings John Strangeway (Karl Williams) and the actress togeth er at Stran leeway's country home. An interest each takes in the other leads both to urge the other to watch their stens. The rest of the cast is well taken care of by capable players. A slapstick comedy with plenty of shape ly bathing girls In Hooverised suits. and some news reviews showing Ameri can troops, form another part of the bill that added to its interest. Comedians Feature of BUI Two comedians. Jimmy .Wall, black face minstrel, and Walter Ambler, red headed "nut," make the Strand pro gram, which opened Sunday, a regular laugh fest." .Jimmy, ex of Quinlan and Wall's min strels. tells stories in a manner all his own and reels off a line of limericks and parodies which do more than tickle. Walter Ambler is a nut. He admits it. Further, he's proud of it. His "Durn you, anyway" promises to be echoed many times about town ere he is for gotten. "Hungry Eyes," a Bluebird photoplay, co-starring those favorites, Monroe Salisbury, and Ruth Clifford, is a Western film offering of comedy well as drama.

THRIFT STAMPS - - 'and WAR SAVINGS STAMPS : on Sale at . - Business Office, The Journal Symphony Plays Old Favorite Classics Carl Denton Presents Program That Pleases Highly Large Audience at Auditorium. Br J. 1. Walliti T WAS an altogether delightful pro gram that the Portland Symphony orchestra gave Sunday afternoon at The Auditorium. The attendance was close to 2000, and that was fairly encouraging. Among the more familiar numbers played was theintermesso from Mas- cagnfs "Cavallerla Kustlcana," and It went so big that It had to be repeated. It was beautifully played, augmentation of piano and organ adding greatly to the general effect. Then there was the old friend, "Sere nade Rococo" (Meyer-Helmund), for strings only, played pizzicato but for a few . effective strains from the cello. It, too, won such enthusiastic applause that Conductor Carl Denton repeated it in part.- The bells, in olden days called "glockenspiel," supplied additional color to the presentation. The symphony was Dvorak's "From the New World,", with which music- lovers of Portland are now well ac quainted, too, because It has been playd several times by the local orchestra. Mr. Denton conducted with authority. the response was splendid and the ap preciation universal. Judging from the spontaneous applause. Seldom does an orchestra have oppor tunity to give the premiere of a work worthy a place on a symphony program. because they are not written every day. and so, when the audience read that Francis Richter's suite? consisting of three numbers. "March Grotesaue" "Idylle" and "Dense Espagnole." was to be given, it was awaited with keen Interest. After It had ' been played, Portland's talented blind pianist-composer, had to step forward and ae-4 knowledge the beautiful tribute of ap plause. March Grotesaue" is grotesaue. and in construction is massive and majestic. As played, it revealed an anticlimax which perhaps was inten tional. The "Idylle" is dainty and bound to always please, but it was the "Span ish Dance" that struck the fancy of the audience. It is rich in tone color, full of vivacity and brings out . manv con. tra'stlng novelties, among these a strik ing part written for the celesta, on this occasion being played on. the piano by the composer. A. particularly pretty passage is me auet lor the wood-winds ine overture to Nlcolal's "Merry Wives of Windsor1 and the Introduction 10 me third act of .

Good spiritual and moral living comes from heaven above. and cannot be forced from without. Dr. Stansfleld delivered this sermon- lecture for the second time Sunday night to a large audience. He halted his dis course long enough briefly to analyze the German drive. "The Germans are making the biggest dash of the war," he said. "It is being done for spectacular effect, in . order that reports may be sent to the father land of gigantic successes in the field, The German rulers also hope to throw the British and French into utter con stemation. I believe that the reports from Berlin are exaggerated and that within 36 hours word will come of steady advance of the French and Brit ish troops in France." Using the reception room of the Mult nomah hotel at the church parlor, the members of the Wilbur Methodist Epis copal hcurch heard Bishop Mathew S. Hughes Sunday morning preach for the first time before the newly organized church. Rev. W. T. Kerr, pastor of the church, conducted the regular service.

Your Grocer Sells Luxury 1 Beauty CKat Woman's Influence X THE last draft, which left here last week. I was glad to see fewer women weeping and clinging, to the boys who were leaving for the cantonments. I am sure women do not stop to. consider the enormity of the situation and the important part each boy- will play In this great-fight for our freedom. For If they could realise It they would speedily dry their tears and Instead of depress ing them they would send them away with a smile of encouragement These drafted men are going out to camp to be trained and put in the con dition which, if they were brought up rignt, would be almost superfluous. They will undergo manual training such as everybody should have war or no war to fit them for their battle with life. At home boys are allowed to go and come at will, regardless of what Influ ences they fall under. And if the war is brought to a close within the next 12 months the benefits our young manhood will have received by then wttl be worth all our losses in other directions. Anyone seeing the boys going Into training and then seeing them after the three months of the Intensive train Ing. marching straight hard, fit men- can not but approve of the method which puts them in such a condition. The ma jority of the people are too soft mentally, as well as physically. Thore is no training in the world equal to a military training. The boys come back, not only physically perfect, but mentally improves. isot one of them can aro through the discipline and work without gaining in knowledge. They learn to respect and respected, an almost for gotten custom in peace times. They team gooa fellowship and human sym pathy, another almost forgotten trait They learn cleanliness, regularity and economy. They make better citizens in every sense of the word. Why weep when your boy goes into training to learn all these things? Is it Just for the wage he cannot bring home to you once a week? Or is it for the selfish love you have for him? You don't want Mm to WarWorK DEHIND a big desk In an office room - of the Red Cross headquarters in the Corbett building site a little gray haired woman with kindly twinkle in her eyes and firm lines about her mouth the characteristic expression of a capable mother. And she has taken about the largest job of "mothering" that any woman in Oregon ever attempted. She is Mrs. James N. Davis, a Daugh ter of the American Revolution, who. as regent of Multnomah chapter for two years and as state vice regent, has done' valuable service in furthering the work of the organization. During the summer of 1918. when the two local chapters, Multnomah and Willamette, made contributions to and secured donations for a fund amounting to $2190 for the assistance of the fam ilies of men called to service on the Mexican border, Mrs. Davis assisted Mrs. C. S. Jackson, who was state chair man of 'the; D-A. R. patriotic service committee,, ta the administration of the funds. As these - families were net ob jects of charity, though in need of a helping hand. It required tact and sym pathy to persuade them to accept help whm it waai nroffnrMl TtiM rm&lltlM i Mrs. Davis; possesses In a marked de- gree, and due to her previous experience,, when the local Red Cross chapter was in process of formation, Mrs. Davis' service was sought In the department of civilian relief. To her" now come the wives and mothers of soldiers with their various ' problems, the greater number of which are not solely financial. Many a pathetic or tragic human interest story could be gathered in this office were it not that the disclosures there made are held Inviolate, imparted to none except those engaged in the work. Mrs. Davis refers to her charges as "my famines, ana while she goes off duty at 6 o'clock each day. her sympathies do not The volume of work in the department has Increased until It now requires the aid of eight trained women.
