Capitol Theater
A new functionary developed
during the filming of the Canton
street scenes in "Mr.; Wb," Lon
Chaney's Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer
.starring vehicle which , shows at
the Capitol today.' Wednesday and
Thursday. His duties were more
varied and decidedly more com
plicated than those, of the Ameri
can traffic cop.
. He has to direct sampans in the
river, rickshas on land, water buf
faloes, coolies carrying huge
bundles at the ends', of bamboo
poles, and high red sedans with
carved dragons.
The street was - filmed in an
exact reproduction of a Chinese
city street just after the fall of the
Empire a few years ago, with
European ideas Just invading the
age-old customs of China.
The sampans used in the produc
tion of this film come direct from
tbe waters of the Penang river,
China. These queer boats, three in
number were used in the canal
scenes and were propelled by Chin
ese oarsmen. They were merely
one of the hundreds of technical
details that entered Into the film
ing of this massive production in
which Chaney plays the role of Mr.
Wu, the uncanny mandarin, whose
sensational revenge forms the ba
sis of the plot.

and apparently had difficulties at
certain stages In lining out their
course. Thus much of their fuel
was used, and. coming to end of
their petrol supply, with engine
trouble looming up, they were
forced to descend about 6 In the
morning for supplies to continue
their voyage.
Then came the short, flight in
the vicinity of Eisener, to Klinge
not far from Kottbus where they
put up for tbe day and the night.
Chamberlln hopes to have his
monoplane sufficiently restored by
noon tomorrow to enable him to
make his deferred aerial entry into
Berlin. Suggestion that he motor
into town or fly in one of the Luf
thansa planes have been waved
asid by- the trans-Atlantic filer,
who let it be understood that he
purposed to complete his flight In
his own plane.
Assistance Planned
- When this intention was made
known to the officials of the Am
erican embassy and the German
government, measures were taken
at once to hurry a new propellor
to Klinge, near Kottbus, where the
Columbia is stranded, to replace
the one which was broken when
Chamberlln made his second forc
ed landing on German soil. While
the plane rests in a difficult posi
tion, he hopes to be able to effect
repairs and get it in the air by to
morrow, and he has informed the
airdrome officials that he intends
to land at Tempelhofer airdrome
sometime tomorrow afternoon.
The welcoming', ceremonies
which were to have been carried
out today will take place then and
at their conclusion the pilot of the
towmDia. ana . ms - aasenger,

will be their home during their

be presented to President von Hln

OWENS VALLEY ARMING
Gun Squad Formed to Protect
Against City Detectives .
BISHOP, Cal., June 6. (AP)
A gun squad of 35 men waa or
ganized here today in what was
declared to be the arming of
Owens Valley "to protect its prop
erty from Los Angeles city detec
tives." 4
B. M. Leete. president of ' the
Owens Valley Property Owners
Protective association,' which has
sponsored the - organization of the
armed squad of Bishop business
men, said the plan later would be
carried to every part of the valley.
The men will be armed either with
rifles or, sa wed-off shotguns and
will be subject to "riot call" at
any 'time. .'- - i h
The move came within 24 hours
of the fifth bombing of the Los
Angeles aqueduct, but spokesmen
for the property owners' associa
tion declared they did not intend
to answer calls to protect the city
property. They reiterated charges
frequently made that Los Angeles

cers , spied , upon them and that
"the only protection Bishop had
was one city marshal.'

tmphasis Placed on Correct
.'Use of -Voice by Telephone
Operators
Efforts are being -constantly
made according to Mr. C- C. Aller,
Manager of the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company, to im
prove and maintain at a high
standard, the articular and enun
ciation of the telephone operators
of the company.
A device which has been found
very effecitve, according to Mr.
Aller, is the placing of a short
piece of match or - toothpick be
tween the teeth of the operator so
as to prevent the closing of the
mouth while talking. Then the
operator practices whispering as
loudly as possible without making
any vocalized sound. This practice
is found to make articulation and
enunciation clearer.
"We are always striving to em
phasize the importance of the cor
rect use of the voice by our opera
tors" said Mr. Aller, "and we are
further trying to emphasize,
through our advertising, the im
portance of the human voice as a
true reflection of personality. As
such the voice and its use cannot
be too strongly emphasized" he
concluded. :

Irish or Scotch jokes Sought
Famous Picture Comin
rr
fc
to Salem
' 'Every one .knows at least'oue
good Scotch or Irish joke, many
people know a lot of them. These
two races have ever been fertile
fields for humor. And in most
Instances the witty sayings and
sharp' satires are credited to the
Irishman or Scotchman himself.
The Scotchman is famous for his
thriftiness and the Irishman for
his pugnaciousness.
In the motion picture "McFad
den's Flats" which opens at the
Oregon theater on Friday for a
week's run, the two leading char
acters are Dan McFadden and
Jock MacTavish, portrayed by
Charles Murray and Chester
Conklin, respectively. These two
are forever arguing and trying to
best each other in verbal battles.
The result is a barrage of funny,
satirical wisecracks, all with a
distinctly Scotch and Irish flavor.
The Statesman believes that it
cSn provide many laughs for its
readers by sponsoring a funny
story contest with the only condi
tion that the stories must be eith
er Scotch or Irish in tenor. This
means that it can be a straight
Scotch story, a straight Irish
story, or a story involving other
races, but there must be a Scotch
man or an Irishman prominent in
each story submitted.
The stories should be in as few
words as possible. Remember that
there is no truer saying than
"Brevity Is the Soul of Wit." If
your story is just dialogue, make
it read that way and use always
in your contributions the names,
"McFadden," (Dan McFadden),
for the Irishman and "Jock Mac
Tavish" for the Scotchman. Some
stories will, of course, require a
few explanatory words as for in
stance, this Scotch story:
Jock MacTavish awakens one
Lmorning to find his wifetiead in
bed beside him. He rnsnes to tne
head of the stairs and calls down
lo the cook: "Mary, only cook one
egg for breakfast."
Or the story of the Irish brick
layer: Dan McFadden was a hod
carrier. Someone was commiser
ating Dan on his hard job when
he retorted: "Whist! Divil a bit
of it. Arl I have to do is to carry
the hod of bricks to the sixth
floor. The poor boob up there
does awl the wurrk."
