(Special to The Statesman.)
Much interest was shown: in the
legion picnic held July 20 on the
Abiqua grounds near Silverton.
The picnic was under the auspices
of the Delbert Reeves post No. 7
and was attended by many from
towns of Polk and Marion coun
ties. It is i reported that many
more would have been present had
it not been ! that it is vacation
time now. The Oregon City and
Salem drum, corps which had been
asked to come were unable to do

Following lunch at noon swim

the main sports. A $50 diamond
ring was given away during a con
test and was won by &: member
of the Salem ;post No. 9, '
No attempt , was made to give
an elaborate program or to hold
speeches as the affair was plan
ned as a social get-to-gether-have-a-good-time
picnic, and reports
from those who were there indi
cate that the object was attained.

Lewis Stone Comments
j On "The Stranger
"Any one could do ; H after
twenty-five .years, practice, said
Lewis Stone recently when ques
tioned about his remarkable suc
cess as one of the screen's1 leading
character actors In heavy rolea, his
characterization of Keith Darrant
in "The Stranger," in -particular.
Lewis Stone made his profes
sional debut in 1900 after serving
as sergeant 'in the Spanish-American
War, his first role on the stage
being that of a "heavy" in a com
edy with music- called "Side
tracked." His first appearance" in
New York City was in "The Great
White Diamond." i
Closing an engagement in "The
Brat" in 1H17, his first picture
was "Held by the Enemy" for
Paramount, Then he played lead
ing roles In "Rlver'jj End," "Pris
oner of Zenda.', "Trifling Worn
en." "You Can't Fool Your Wife
and "Scaramouche." tH
But to come back, it is true that
a person might possibly rise; to
such great heights as,, has Lewis
Stone during hia. rather -lengthy
career, but what about; their sue
cess while they are striving for
such honors? It is not as though
Mr. Stone had just sprung into
public-. favor, for he has been a
leading screen personality for
many years. " I
Mr. Stone, we are afraid you are
a bit too modest. But, at that, se
crets of success had best remain

I "A kiss is the very life of a

rector of the bank of England and
Owen D. Young.
An American financial authority
informed the correspondent of The
Associated Press tonight that the
only problem from the financiers'
viewpoint was that if any nation
voted In the reparations commis
sion for taking sanctions, it might
be difficult to restrain independent
action on the part of that nation,
and as long as this-was possible
the basis for credit waa not sound.
He expressed the opinion that the
difference wa not a serious one
and that a settlement would surely
be worked out from the 'Kellogg
plan within a week.
