' ? . i; '' I :( I ' ' One of the most delightful en tertainments of ; the coming year will be the series of Stnart-Wfalk-er plays to be given in Salem: un der the auspices of the Salem Business and Professional Wom an's club at the Grand theater on February 7 and 8. For some time the club has been deliberat ing over the Question of whether or not they should take the; re sponsibility of bringing these pro ductions to Salem, the main ob jection being the great financial obligation under which It would place the club. After a recent se ance with Mr. Rupert, advance agent for tho ; Stuart-Walker players, the club signed for three series of productions. ' On Thursday night. February 7, will be given a series of plays by Lord Dunsany, '"The Gods of the Mountain, "The Murderer "Neverbelef f," and "The Very Naked Boy." For the matinee of Friday, February 8, will be given the Stuart-Walker series, f Six Who Pass While the ? Lentils Bell," Sir David Wears a Crown." and "The King's Great Aunt; Sits on the Floor." These three plays are all sequels and the same char acters appear in each one. It Is attested that these plays are writ ten and produced for : children from 7 to 70 years of age. The last " production 1 will be "The Book of Job," a masterpiece written by Stuart Walker him self. This is said to be the best in the 'entire repertoire of the players.' and Is one of . the -best productions, from the literary and artistic standpoint. In the history of the Little Theater movement. .-Salem people should feel fortu nate in being able"to secure the players, as already their schedule for the coast tour is hardly-with out an open date. The Portland Business and Professional "-"Worn en's club has contracted for a se ries of six performances . to- be given in the municipal auditor ium, f However, small .the Grand theater may be, the SalettT people will Ik? seeinsr the Dlav at a de elded advantage for the plays lend themselves vetter to a small and nore Intimate house. In compar ison to seeing them in i a large auditorium even the farthest seat In the theater here will be good. Owing to v the recognized educa tional nature of the plays, no spe cial war tax will be charged and the price will be reasonable enough that all will be able to avail themselves of the opportun ity of seeing these much talked- of productions. GE ARE HOT SATISFIED Men of . Middle Class Not Happy in Adopted Coun tries, Report LEIPZIG, Nov. 26. (By Mail.) Germany's enforced emigration ap parently results in many persons getting into lands where they are not contented. German . papers abound in letters from emigrants who are. dissatisfied with their new homes and warn their fellow countrymen to exercise greater care in choosing a land for adop tlon. " Most of the complaints are clearly from 'men. of the middle- class who have bad experience as clerks, salesmen, teachers and ac countants. Artisans and farm workers are not numerous, among the grumblers, r In fact, most of the letters urge that only artisans and men ex perienced as farmers tryi their hand in South America. Canada and . the United States, and Ger mans are warned to select a land where they will not have to com pete with negro labor and other workers' whose living standards are below those of Germans. ; Brazil is commended by many correspondents to . the German press as a place where emigrants can soon earn enough on coffee plantations to buy land of their own. Argentina Is less favorably mentioned because of the keen competition of the Italian farm workers who are satisfied with a lower wage than a German can live on in the style fee desires. - . . One correspondent writing Jrom Mexico warns his countrymen not to be fooled by rosy pictures .UC that country. ; An artisan . writing from Chile says it is hard for Ger man mechanics to compete in that country with artisans from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Dalmatia and Syria who are contented with very low wages. , . : , " ' 'r But these communications from disillusioned emigrants who clear ly expected to find sudden wealth and an easy lot beyond the sea do not discourage thousands of oth era in Germany from making preparations .to leave the father land. They will go nearly any where. Half the population In Germany wants to go to the Unit ed States. . It stands' to, them as symbolical of the dollar. But the fares Americward are beyond their reach. ' Woolen Mills Advertise ' Brownsville with Goods BROWNSVILLE, Dec, 15 By reason of the location of the his toric Brownsville woolen mills here this section of the state re ceives not a little free -advertising as witness the big 50-page catalog which the Brownsville Woolen Mills store of Portland has gotten out. The word "Brownsville" stares out at one from every page, and the MIU-to-Man talk of the catalog directs the thought . of prospective buyers of virgin wool goods to the little city where the cloth Is produced. J. L. Bowman, president of the company, in his personal message to friends and customers, points out the record of the mill, its ad vantageous location, mentions the iron-clad guarantee, the inaugura tion of a mail order business from the Portland store and office, and calls attention to the fact that on the roof of the main building here Is pained In five-foot letters the words "Only Virgin Wool Used Here." - Abo, the following Information concerning woolen goods Is given: "National authorities state that from three-fourths to - four-fifths of the so-called wool suits sold to men in the United States contain "shoddy.". That is .old re-worked wool. It is called "all wool," "pure wool," and "wool.". but it is not new wool, fior every manufac turer who uses pure wool calls it "virgin wool." No old, re-worked wool usually old blankets or old wool rags ground up is ? very short, and the fibres cannot' be worked into a durable cloth. It has literally been worn out once, and the wear is not in.IL "New wool, on the other hand, has long fibres, that twine and cling together well, and it weaves Into a long-wearing, durable cloth that holds its shape and gives the wearer real service. . L "Another point of Importance that Is making the Oregon dis- HM GRITS Ltrict - a - great, woolen center -Is. the fact that the damp climate of the coast is especially conducive- to fine wool weaving. In many east ern olauts artificial humidifiers are used to keep the air moist and ! make the . wool card, spin and weave better. F Here, - that, condi tion is natural and the result is a fine cloth that is rapidly establish ing Oregon as one of the greatest wool districts ; In the United States " MKT.IL CLAKDft GIVK AGED LOCOMOTIVES NEW POWER SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15. Locomotives, while not subject to gland transplanting, can be rejuv enated,, according to an announce ment by the Southern Pacific com pany. , The railroad Is authority for the statement that weak decrepit locomotives can be vitalized, en ergized and otherwise made over Into hard-working haulers of trains. "Some of these engines are be ing operated with greater efficien cy than when they were new," said George AlcCormick, superin tendent of motive power for the railroad.

Dec. 14. (By The As sociated Press) The excavators had four hours of hard work at the tomb, of Tutenkhamun today when a start was made with the dismantling of the great canopy over the shrine of the Pharaoh. The canopy is in three parts, slop ing down from one end to the other and surrounded with the carving of a serpent heavily gilded. The work Is extremely difficult and exhausting as in: the 30 cen turies it has been In place the wood has shrunk appreciably and the excavators have in mind that the merest slip of the hand may do incalculable damage to the brittle substance and its elab orate decoration. It is estimated that the removal of the covering will take at least four days.
