Rosebraugh. one of the local Lions, is to , speak on the principles of Lionism. The club has been gaining rapidly in mem bership, and ' the : meetings are pricking up their ears like 'real lions out for a lark or tor a lung-delayed dinner. Coming Lions Minstrels Show Said Real Class Marshall Picture Oon "The Snow-Shoe Trail,' that has " been showing this week at : The Liberty, is the work of an Oregon1 author, : Edison Marshall. The story .Is apparently laid in the Clearwater country of Idaho, where jthey have' ; hair-raising winters that! would give real snowshoa trails such as the pic turo shows. Marshall was a stu dent In the Oregon State Univer sity, and he was .a bigger man than the . president J , when he bounced up the street to tell 'em that-he had cold his, first story. 10 years ago. It is said that his Income from his literary work Advance information on X -the forthcoming Lions Minstrels tor the Boy Scouts' benefit, indicates that it Is going to be the real class of . all the lighter musical shows of! the vyear. The dates were originally set for about, the middle of February but two post ponements havo brought H up to March 5th and 6th. The addi tional time has allowed for far better ..preparation than would have beenpossible at the earlier dates.. 1 The soloists are to be A. B. Hansen, Claude Stevenson, Ly man McDonald and Floyd Mcln tyre. The end men are Charlie Knowland, H. R. White, Dr. W. B. Mott. Frank ZInn, Dan Young and Ed. Chastain. All will, be Lions for the night, at least, and some are Lions : all the - time. Some of the funniest stuff ever put before the footlights in Sa lem, is coming up in the pro gram; and some of the most har monious choruses. Floyd Mclntyre,' chorus direct or, is authority for the statement that the chorus work Is the best he has ever seen under anything like similar conditions. Some of the choristers didn't know that they could sing, and were cer tain they wouldn't try. but they have come out wonderfully, and artistic presentation of genuine minstrelsy is promised. ; The money goes to the j Boy scouts or saiem. Following the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night, the city conncil will consider the matter of a change of the present auto park ing, a back-ln-to-the-curb system, to the drive-in plan as It seems Is generally adopted In coast towns. Also, the matter of safety zones, to be definitely marked at the street car stops on the busy streets, and then allow auto traf fic to pass by outside this zone of safety, at a reduced and safe speed instead of blocking the traffic while street cars "are" un loading, will bo given careful study. Mayor John Giesy says, how ever, that they have been study ing this matter tor a long, long titme in the city council; and the more they study it the. more things they see to counsel cau tion. There are many stores-that having no alley entrances, have to do all their delivery-wagon; ser vice from the front door, and they have to v hack up to the curb; a head-on parking makes car de livery next to impossible, espe cially if the street is crowded. Tbe council has considered the prob lem for years, and has not yet seen that it is wise to chaiisw. 1 "It will be wise to ma'K'e haste slowly," said Mayor Giesy. ''Safe ty first,' and 'When you're dead you're dead for a Jong. long while,' and all that sort of thing. Some of these others who have adopted the, drive in parking sys tem, have done so because it is easy to start; maybe they would change If they knew the other side. v "The matter will, be carefully studied, and whatever looks best, the city wants, whatever it Is'. , Chocolate : Nuts Regular fi and 91.25 per Pound ; ' Special Price, 83c . yche Little Lady's Store , ; W Center and 12th Capital Junk Co.

(Special to The Statesman). Charles' Benson, a well known Sil verton mill man, died at his home at Silverton Tuesday night at 10 o'clock,' after an Illness of a week. Mr. Benson had been in ' pdor health all winter, j but had im proved so much that he resumed his Work after the. holiday and continued until about a week ago when he was taken ill. -His Ill ness was not ' considered serious and his; death came suddenly Tuesday evening. Mr. Benson was 54 years of age. Mr. Benson was a prominent 4-L man and; until last week when he resigned' because of ill health he was president of the 4-L organi zation. , Funeral arrangements have not been made as his three brothers and two sisters who live in east ern states have been notified of their brother's death and until re plies are received " arrangements will not be made. It is under stood that the Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member, will have charge of the funeral. Many Rotarians Expected to Attend Grand Program From present indications, the Grand theater will have to be triple-decked and reduced to standing room only, If all the members and guests who are now expected should attend the Ro tary club anniversary Friday night, February 23. Rotarians from McMlnnville, Eugene, Portland, are coming en masse; the local Kiwanis and Lions clubs are invited, to the last man; every Rotarian is to have a limited supply of tickets, and It looks as If they would have to fight for a chance at the door, as women at a Monday, bargain sale of silk suifs for a nickle apiece. It is really believed that there will be demand for at least four times the normal ' seating capacity of the house. ' 3-. Dr. Arthur Frederick Sheldon, the speaker, was the internation al orator at Edinburgh, Scotland, In 1921, and took the whole Ro tary world by storm. He Is. an author, edjitor, orator, and his lecture, "The Philosophy of Ser vice," Is rated as one of the gems of tbe modern lecture platform. Admission to the program Is to be only by ticket; not that they wouldn't like to have everybody attend, but thattheir seating ca pacity is far below the limit of desire, to hear the notable visi tor. ; : , ' ' ' i Community singing is. to be one feature of the evening, with Dan Langenberg, the Rotary chorister, in "charge. Mrs. Alice Dodd, of Willamette University, spoke briefly, at the Marion-Polk Realtors' luncheon Thursday, to present tbe claims of the Salem YWCA for their support. v 'We urge you to visit this hive of industry," said the speak er. "Wae have a long list of ac tivities; 'girls looking . for ! em ployment, girls and women who stop in to warm or rest while in it'rom the country, or from the suburbs of Salem; girls who have come to the end of their finan ces and need, a home while they find new jobs; women with help less little children. who must work. We try to care for .every one of these humane needs in a helpful, inspiring way. . s "There are many girls In Sa lem, living outside the city.1 If they go to the average "boarding bouse they are deprived of the privileges of. good company in a real home; their guests must gc to their bedroom or out on the streets. The average young man loses some of his natural, fine protective instinct for the girl who, has no home. We have our parlors where a girl - may receive' her friends, and where 1 decent young manhood and young wc manhood may meet under real borne Surroundings. If you haven't a girl who might need our help, remember that the pro tected girl is a far better pro tection to your boy." The speaker asked for no or ganized endorsement, only for the Individual support and sym pathy for the YWCA as a pub lic asset. A report, from the legislative committee showed that there was small chance for the. passage this year of the: "Packed in Oregon" label law that the Realtors have been urging. Two local mem ters of the legislature, one a fruit gTOwer, had reported the Improbability of any favorable action. The legislative commit tee, however, will watch . close ly .the legislative actions of the week, to catch any last-minute measure that might be harmful to the Realtors' business. A determined effort is to be made to increase the member ship, both of active and of as sociate members'. A definite pro gram ot particularized boosting. such as the Statesman has car ried in Its Slogan page for the past two years, was urged by H. E. Brown, and highly recom mended by other speakers. Some such industrial program Is ex pected to be adopted. Next Thursday is "Slogan day," "when every member Is ex pected to bring In some definite, helpful slogan that can be used by the association. tion Relating to vacancies In of-I ficeapf clerk -and director of dis trict school boards. 1 ' s S.
