Two of the debates in the tri angle match between Salem, Dallas and Albany on March 5 for the championship of this district will occur la the afternoon, reports Principal J. C. Nelson of the senior high school. In keeping with past appear atwea the debate at Salem will occur in the evening, beginning at, 8:00. The. Dallas negative team will furnish the opposition here Homer Richards, former baiem ', high school debater who was a member of the school's team that entered the national tournament In the east a couple of years ago will preside. It is probable the Judges will be members of the U of O. faculty. . t . The two afternoon debates will be at Dallas, where that team meets Albany, and at Albany, where the Albany high affirmative team will contest with - Isabel Chllds and. Jack Routh of the Sa lem negative. Judges for both these debates have already . been selected from O. S. C. " In riew of the other contests occurring la the afternoon. It . Is probable the district winners will be known as soon as the Judges turn In their decision- on the de bate' hers. - : - " A real internationalist Is a fel low who will pay IS for a seat In a lecture hall in order to hear some speaker from Europe tell him what "7th Heaven" has been brought to the screen and will be shown at the Capitol theater today, Wed nesday and Thursday. This picture, based on the play by Austin Strong, la said by all critics to be one of the finest pro ductions of any tvDe ever screened. Taken from every an gle it Is perfection, and more than that it has lost none of the ap peal or beauty of the original play. The atmosphere of the Paris Montmartre, where the plot of the story is laid, is accurately carried out In the settings and the pho tographic effects. The story fol lows the play Itself, but bringing Into actual view those things that could be talked about in the play, thereby heightening the interest and adding greatly to the enter taining value of the picture. The characterizations of the players are said to be Inspired, particularly that of Janet Gaynor, who appears as the winsome, frightened and finally glorified "Diane." and Charles Farrell, who is the handsome, egotistical, gen erous and thoroughly lovable "Chlco." "7th Heaven" Is the story of two of the lowest types of Pari sians, a worker in the sewers of Paris and a waif of the Paris streets. But because of the glori ous doctrine of courage which It preaches and the marvelous things it does to both of their characters it has been called one of the great est and one of the most beautiful love stories ever written. The play created a sensation when pro duced for a record run on Broad way, and the picture Is surpassing the reputation established by the play.

She has many friends helping her, so watch out; you can't sleep on the job and expect to beat Beulah. Kellyg ram f REDO KELLY Read the Classified Ads How We Respond to Weather - While retailers like good, ra tional, seasonable weather, they are frequently helped by weather that Is freakish and unseasonable provided it comes early rather than late. If there is a cold day early in September, people catch the notion of buying fall and winter garments. Having started early to buy. they keep it up all winter. It is simply the old. old story of one sheep jumping the fence and the others gayly fol lowing. Besides, one thing sug gests another. The woman who acquires a handsome, expensive little coat in September soon thinks of various things that she regards as downright necessities to go with it. Her old hat that she had planned to fix over will not do at all. And nothing could be more absurd she thinks than'to wear smart new coat and hat merely to cover last season's dress. The friendly cold snaj) In September' gives the merchant not only extra business right at the time but extra business later on. It is the aim of all retail busi ness to keep trade steady the year round. Naturally, it is not eco nomical to have a rush one day greater than the sales force can candle, and a slump the next day with clerks idle. Most of this effort to equalize trade is a fight against weather. At a season when people are not in a buying mood, the merchant lures them in with bargain offers. He makes his advertisements fit weather conditions. In some lines, natural demand for articles adjusts itself In such a way that there is little difference In the amount of business, winter or summer. An acquaintance of mine runs a big establishment mat sells all manner of musical instruments. With the coming of balmy spring days music enthusiasts who have been his steady customers for ser eral months begin to seek other diversions. The man who has been exasperating a violin or piano all winter, and buying sheet music or other supplies, promptly loses his musical interest in favor of tennis, golf, or mere aimless per sonal inspection of the big spac ious outdoors. Likewise, the per son who had ambitions to make himself a nuisance to his neigh borhood by taking vocal lessons, or perhaps, by buying a saxophone, postpones the fatal step until following '..
