"Seven-Keys to Baldpate" to thp "screen, MacLean and his staff have made only one important departure from the earlier story. They have added a real girl and a real romance. And they have made this romance the motive for all the action, substi tuting it for the wager which ani mated the stags play.. With the addition of a short prologue, they sell you and everyone else, the Idea that Doug is bo much in love with the girl that he will try any . thing. To win the, girl he at L tempts to write a complete novel in 24 hours an unheard of feat. Because the audience is sold on ;"the romance, they'll all be Tooting ; for him ' to succeed.

This ia the fourth week of the revival meetings in the First Bap tist churqh. and the interest ir in tensified each week. The attend ance is Urge and the people love to Eing the hymns and sneeial selections under the direction of Mr. Fishier, the song evangelist. Mr. Fisher also sings special num bers at each meeting. Last evening the Young Mar ried People's class were present in a body aad topic part in the serv ice, sinRing a special number with Mr. Fred Broer leading. Dr. Dan iel . Bryant spoke from the" text, "There Is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety-nine just persons that need no repentance." He said in part: "Sinners flocked to Jesus ;nn?h to! the annoyance of the r":i;d Pharasees: Jesus did not 'i. matters' with them. He u .)-.:.;od sin, but he loved the sin ner. Any church that is seeking to save sinners will have little dit ficulty in getting sinners to come to its services. ' Publicans ani sin ners will not come to a church where there Is po warm weleome or an effort to help tbem io Jesus. The mission of soul saving will be enough to unite a church. In every other good work. It is a terrible thing tof be lost." Dr. Bryant gave a number ot startlin? illus trations of lost men, of lost souls, of lost faith and hope.

Satisfaction with the business agent, S. B. Davidson, was expressed. "We have no wish to be a part or factor in fastening the open shop conditions on the tradesmen of Salem," the communication read3. "Until a universal agree ment between the various locals shall be put in effect prohibiting men from working for whom, when and where they please, our delegates are excused from attend ance upon your deliberations and our affiliations are severed. When suitable and decent conditions are effected, or a favorable sentiment exists for such changes and ad herence to trade union conditions, our moral and financial aid will be gladly and freely given."
