Warning has boen issued by State Game Warden Burghduff that wood ducks are unusually Plentiful this year. There has been an enormous Increase in this protected species. Hunters axe forbiddn to kill these beautiful birds under penalty of a heavy fine mud imprisonment. '-'' ' The wood duck ' can be i.- easily - distinguished by reason of his ab normally short neck and the pe culiarity of his flight. When In flight the wood duck's head Is so close! to his body that little but the bill -can be discerned, i The .wood duck flies with more soar ing motion than other kinds and his .wing beats are much Jess fro -quent than those; of his Quacking brethren. - t ; .. : The; state game warden's office will send out extra detachments of field deputies on opening day to see -that the law Is observed. The season west of the Cascades, which const it ntes game district No. 1, is open between October 1 and Jan nary; 15. The bag limit in any one day is 5 birds and not to exceed 30 in; any consecutive days. The same law applies in district No. 2. comprising that part of the state lying east of the Cascades.: The season opened there September 16 and cpntinues till December 31. At Its tall meeting to be held in Eugene next week the . state game commission will consider a legisla tive I program to be submitted 10 the state legislature at its session opening next January. One of the recommendations of the commis sion will be that the hunting sea son in all parts of the state be made uniform. . At present there are three dis tinct seasons for: pheasant, ducks. and fleer In as many sections of the state. It, is claimed wealthy hunters have ' an advantage over others -because of the - different dates as they can' journey from one section to another while the rank and .file of sportsmen must tie con tent to hunt near home. i.

German Garages Lack ; Elements of Efficiency BERLIN, Sept. 1 (AP)--An ef fort is under way to revise the op eration of public garages in Ger many, and bring into effect some of the efficiency that prevails in this regard in the United States. Under the German building laws not more (than three automobiles may be stored in one room. To overcome- this handicap, garape owners built box stalls for each car, and divided a large room Into many small ones. But the time lost In handling the cars in . and out of these cells, and the waste of room, entailed, are great deter rents, and an effort will be made to amend the law. New Type of Modern Mortuary V - .t. V t-'.j t i 1 i j ... Built for W. T. RIgdon & Son at Salem The construction of this- commodious structure embodies the most advance ideas, for con venience and service. It is arranged in such a manner that its spacious corridors may be made a part of the chapel. A private driveway enables the family and relatives to enter and depart in seclusion. The building is 50x100 feet and occupies the southwest corner of Chemeketa and Cottaga streets, Salem. While centrally located it is removed from the congested part of the city. There are two stories with a full basement. The construction is reinforced concrete. The stucco finish with art stone front and trimmings give it a digni fied and beautiful appearance. The completion of the building will commemorate the thirty-third year of the House of Rigdon in Salem. revelation i-a smashing climax , to the' production that makes' 'em all right up in, their chairs.

Tnere are .plenty of thrills as well as an abundance of clean comedy. Some praise should go to Director Scott Sidney for his skill In. making comedians of the monkey and other- animals in the film. "Hold Your Breath" is effective and pleasant entertainment. with a club. This is not success ful and he sells the dog to another man, who trains the animal with kindness rather than force. When his master is killed Buck is left alone and he gives in to the call of the wild strain in his blood and mates with a wolf, The story closes with Buck at the head of a pack of wolves that are the terror of the Yukon region. Jack. London's "The Call of the Wild" Is a favorite book In Ameri can literature and for that reason its picturization should be of par. ticular Interest. The picture and story tell of the return of a big St. Bernard dog. Buck, to the primitive after it is stolen from a country estate in California. The 'thief takes the" dog to Alaska during the gold rush and attempts to train him as the husky dogs of the North are trained- A heart-stirring story, extraor dinary acting, beautiful photo graphy, capable 'direction and a circus and society setting combine to make "The Side Show of -Life." the picture that opened last night at the Oregon theater, unusual screen entertainment. Its an adaptation of the best-seller "The Mountebank" by William J. Locke ' The plot begins to unwind when we meet the amusing personality of Andrew Lackaday, whom we first know as a clown in a small traveling circus. The coming of the great war puts an end to his fun-making antics. He enlists as a private but through sheer merit finds himself a herd and is rapid ly promoted and accepted in the most exclusive circles of the Eng lish aristocracy. But being a man of honor he realizes that after .all he is only a clown . and has no right to. pretend to be anything else. He turns his back upon the woman whom he has - learned to love, the .beautiful : Lady Auriol Dayne, and returns 1 to. his poor little circus. But there's a grea Tour Breath, a side-splitting comedy starring Dorothy Devore, Walter Hiers and Tully Marshall, as its current bill. Jack London's great story,;! ?The Call of the Wild," will follow on the heels of ''Hold Your Breath," and is sched uled to open Wednesday. . . Dainty little Dorothy Devore in "Hold Your Breath" has the lead ing feminine' role. She has more pep than almost any other come dienne on the screen. L'.
