Joe Kas berger, son of 'Mr. and Mrs. John Ka-3-berger of 917 We3t Tenth street, The Dalles, received the highest honoi that a student can receive during his junior or senior year in. college. He was one of the 15 juniors and se niors out of 848 who were elected to tho Forum, an upper-class honor so ciety.. Tho first term of this school year ho was elected to membership in tho Alpha Zota agricultural honor ary society. The standard for member ship In the two organizations Is quite similar. To be elected to the Forum means that the student must be exceptional ly good In his academic work ami must havo proved his ability as a leader and have thoso principles or manhood or womanhood that speaks for character. This Is Mr. Kasberger's third yeai in "college. He has been nctivo in stu dent affairs, holding many positions In various lines of student activities In addition to that of being a 'varsity football and baseball playor.

In "Dream Street," David Wark Griffith has achieved what a lot of New York critics have been assum ing this season to be well-nigh im possible. He has dramatized a story of goodness nnd light and happi ness in conflict with wickedness and darkness and despair, against n background in which tho forces of darkness had nil the best of it and he has made goodness and happiness the victor and has given, at the same time, a tremendously artistic produc tion. It is a sweeping answer to the people who have argued that in a story in which it looked as though happiness was doomed, it must be doomed, or elso the drama misses tho fire of realism and art. "Dream Street" in its bigness and its power is1 another "Broken Blossoms," but I'll admit that, I was glad it, lacked tho final tragedy. Tho controversy which lies raged In art nnd court circles .these past months between tho claim of blondes versus those of brunettes seems to have mot with a practical decision In the quotation from a prominent hairdresser. "Which is tho most ar tistic?" ho echoed. 'Which tho "more loyal?" And ho shrusged his shoul ders. "I don't know, I'm sure. All I know is that I get 40 cents an ounco more for blondo hair than for dark. That shows which niost people want to be." ........ n-ii in .tviiKi-ta nro notntinu fnrttinn hut thrro U a atrlncr attached ilVIVUHUIIV w . . ' ' .
