It's a thrill never before shown on the screen has consented to re-enact the part '.u the pictured story. A ,- i -This is in itself a sensational I piijce of fnewa. ; Mr. Arliss, with Davkl van:eld and Maude Aaami have long held" out against the, lure of the cinema, and for that reason raany-striking plays have not been released to the publle via the screen. Having secured Mr. Arliss, the movie producers. It goes without saying, have spared no pains or expense to surround him with a lavish and costly 'pro duction. It will be tt the Grand nest Sunday and Monday. Tom Mix and his big company, cowboys and everything, will be seen for the last time at the Grand theater today in tha popu lar star's latest Wiliiam Vox pic ture, "After Your Own Heart." Mix pictures draw bigger crowds ell th time. He certa nly gives motion picture fans their money's wort Ji. - The management of. the Liberty theater announces that they have been very fortunate in securing the exclusive showing in Salem of the Oregon-made news reel, called the Screenland., and made entirely in Oregon, the first issue will be shown beginning next Sunday. D. W. Griffith's mighty pro duction, "Dream Stref t," has been booked in Salem for the Liberty at an early date. Viola -Dana , in "Cinderella's Twin," will be at the Liberty next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. . w A humaji interest story, backed up by dramatic incidents wnicn climax in a mad cattle stampede is "The Sky Pilot," which will bs shown .for a four days engage ment at the Liberty theater, be ginning today. The story is' (aken from Halpb Connor's book of the same title. - King and Cody have an enter taining specialty that embraces changes of costumes, character pongs and dances, mostly of the novelty sort.

At the Bllgh theater today. A cattle stampede, so realistic that even the most blae of Broad way's motion picture fans were moved to applause, is a feature of "The Sky Pilot," a Cathrine Cur tis production, released as an Ats tiocfated First National attraction which will be shown beginning today for a four day engagement af the Liberty theater. Sinco the beginning of motion pictures, directors have attempted to reach th superlative in mak ing their audiences thrill with the emotions of fear and suspense; and many times have they suc ceeded. But never, it is declared has the equal of King Vidor's rtriking stampede scenes been al- oyed wih celluloid. Four thou sand head of cattle in a mad lunge toward the camera provide dra matic tension that stands in a place by Itself in motion picture production. In order to film these scenes it was necessary to "plant" the cameras in an eight-foot deep pit. iMiie cuierent cameras and cam eramen were called upon for the A vibrant Btory of life and lov n the northwest wildernr.is of thn Canadian Rockies is tnld in Snowbllnd." a Reginald Barker production for Goldwyn. which will be shown at the Liberty for four days, beginning next Sunday.

Hatton has the tart ot Danny who, In the picture story is accidentally killed, and GeorgiP Stone is seen as the stolen boy. Richard Headrick is the infant who is all but drowned In a-river. This trio of Juvenile talent cannot be beaten and they add much to the entertainment value of the photoplay. Myrtle Steadman Is the: leading woman.

One of the greatest questions whfca still ba 11a the thinking men and women of this ase s asked n "The Inner Voice." the photoplay starring E. K. Lincoln. The story of this remsrKable photoplay which Is considered by critics to b among the greatest film productions ever made, ta es this main premise upon the much discussed question wlietner a man or woman can experience the full measur- of human happ ness unless their lives havo been consecrated to the service f some loved one. In answering this question, the photo-playwright ' responsible for "The Inner Voice" has construct ed a powerful dramatic spectacle the background of which extends from the wild and rugged mining reg'ons of the northwest to th capital of American finance in Wall street. BIRTHS FAR AHEAD OF DEATHS HERE (Continued from page 1.) years. Only seven of the 45 fathers were over 40 years old. District Deaths 47. During the month of July there were 18 deaths in Salem with a total of 47 in the district extend ing several miles north, east and south of 'Salem, and including the state institutions. Of this num ber. 28 were males and 19 fe males. The oldest man to die in July was Morfimer R. Savage, who was 85 years old at the time of his death. He lived eight miles south west of Salem. The "Oldest woman who died during July was Americus Saman tha Bain, who died at the age of 77, at 210 Meyers street, Salem. Name Style Changing. Styles In naming babies have changed considerably within the last few years, according to the birth records of the Salem dis trict, where an official .record Is kept of each birth, and the name given, the child. For instance, a few years ago when . Dewey won the battle of Manila. ,( almost every other boy was named Dewey, uut tnere are no boys in Salem who have been named Pershing or Harding or even Wilson. . The hero worship days have passed as far as nam ing boy babiei is concerned. Even Biblical names are going out of style for boys, and the same- may be said of military names. Boys born in Salem dur ing July will' have, rb travel through life with such names as Robert, Charles, Edward, George, John, Ronald, Frederick, Allen, Foster and Glenn. One boy was named Gordon, another Marvin and another Louis Boys were not eq fortu nate in having themselves given real fancy names. f Some Names Poet Id. But girls born last mo:th will manage to get along with rather poetic names. - For instance. Lu c Hie Irene, Ethel Edwina. Doro thv, Hester Rosetta and Virginia Elizabeth. And other girl babies born dur ing July have been named such beautiful names as Joyce Elwood, Rachel Marie, Fave Elizabeth, Margaret Catherine, Helen Doro- hy, Roberta Oamiel, Blllie June, Viola and Leverne. These names are for the girl babies scarcely more than a month old. One year ago the girl babies were given such names as Alma Lillian. Marv Josephine, Mary Ann. WUma Elizabeth. Lola Marie. Rowena Mary. Marjorie Qragle. Doris Virginia, Lois Mar lon. Mayone Elizabeth, Barbara, and Margaret Bernie. The boys one year ago had no Lang Ranges A Northwest Product Eleven Exclusive Features.

RAILROAD FOLK JOIN IN ANNUAL FROLIC (Continued from page 1.) trains running both ways, and waiting on the employes pleasure both ts to the coming and the going. Notables on Ground It was the most democratic rail road meeting ever held. Super intendent A. T. Mercler. Master Mechanic Loughlin. every notable that could be s Da red from the ac- tual operation of the road, w re in and of the celebrants. There wasn't a tow-headed young ster on the grounds who wasn't the peer of the big boss. When Frank Connolly, engineer, presid ent of the S. P. club and one of the fattest, bravest and most re spectable men on the whole sys tem, tripped in the fat man's race and rolled over like a giant truck wheel carrying a locomotive on its back, they did'nt give him a bit of respect. Wow! What a scream for a crowd ot picnickers with all the bars down. President Con nolly didn't win the race, but he certainly gave his "b'yes" a good time, generally and in this one event specifically. Athletic Sports Please A long program of athletic ev ents was pulled off in which some really excellent performances were given. There are hundreds of powerful, active, high-spirited ath letes in the railroad service, and the way they dug Into the pro gram was a good sight for tired and Jaded eyes. The tug-of-war contests between the 5-man teams attracted as much attention as any other events. They'd hardly need locomotives on the S. P. line with a few more such husky giants as those tuggers- of-war. The picnic dinner was certainly one of the gastronomic events of the year. When a man has a streak of good luck, he's usually likely to go out and celebrate on part of the proceeds, for the pure joy of it. The Southern Pacific rave all the employes this day off; those who are employed by tne montn, a majority oi an me employes present, drew their per day and had a picnic and a pass besides who wouldn't make it a time for a superlative dinner? Busy Life Is Told Nothing but a vigorous, busy life and an iron const. tution would would have kept the Southern Pa cific from having indigestion and nightmares and dyspepsa, and a Bleepless, troublous night, last night, after such a colossal din ser. The S. P. band from Portland gave variously assorted delightful music and the orchestra played entrancing music for the grand dance in the pavilion most of the afternoon. Such a happy crowd! It was worth a hondred thousand dollars to the traveling and ship ping public of Oregon to have that picnic, for the ginger the boys will put mto their work for the company that cares ! . Other picnics and parties are in prospect for the rest of the summer, especially in the Port land Hub branch. BOOZE HOUNDS ARE RAPPED BY BUSHEY (Continued from page 1.) Bushey and Comn-.:sloner J. T. Hunt and W. 11. Goulet show that during the past four months at least 15 offenders have been haled into local courts by Anti- Saloon league officers working under direction of the county court. The jail sentences administered have totaled nearly a year, sen tences ranging from 10 to 60 day as n several instances to six months as in the case of one vio lator. Fines resulting from arrests un der violation of prohibition law? now total $2090. Of this amount $940 has been paid into the hands of the county treasurer's office while there is no recent report on bonds forfeited by bail-jumpert and fines to be collected by liens upon property of sentenced per sona. These matters are in the hands of Justice of the Peace G. E. Unmh and Sheriff Oscar Bow er who have indicated that the! task of collecting money due un. der these sentences is preceeding as rapidly aa possible. Total of Finos High ' To date, county warrants au-! thorlzed by the county court and made payable to the Anti-Saloon league of Oregon, total $2756 or VG66 more than fines and amounts resulting from enforcement. Expense items submitted by Anti-Saloon league officials in clude automobile travel for raid ing parties, hotel expenses. -meals. employes and miscellaneous items such as liquor purchased for evi dence.
