THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 20, 13 CHVIMLL HIS 1W FIGHT His Difficulties "h Getting Chicken Dinner and Ham Sandwich Home Many , JW-f . f-1 ' Charley Maxwell, who is ambi tious to hare a beautiful home in Hollywood for his family and in connection, therewith a chicken dinner and barbecue ham sand wich counter, ha taken one more step under the complicated and highly technical to nine ordinance under which the Capital City op erates. It Is recalled that the zoning commission of which L. P. Camp bell, engineer of the state high way commission, is now chair man, as originally constituted re signed, the city having made no proTlsion for salaries and expen ses. The new commission is serving without compensation under the same ordinance of 24 pages and at a special meeting Monday night accepted and, approved the peti tion Talldatlng Mr. Maxwell's beautiful building. Under the sonlng ordinance a number of steps mast be taken be fore the owner of a building can occupy and use It for specific pur poses, all of which Kewton W. El lis and Charley Maxwell have now complied with. . The zoning ordinance has de layed the owner In starting his chicken dinner and ham sandwich home until he has used up all his capital In getting ready, and ow ing to new technicalities that have been discovered he will probably be delayed a month or more and stands In danger of losing his title to the property. It is an admitted fact that this highly complicated ordinance, when technical objec tors get busy, can cause the city and property owners and intend ing builders of homes or business property more trouble than almost any itber city regulation. The Maxwell petition, now in proper form and signed by more than SO per cent of the property owners within the area affected, must go automatically before the city council. This has been order ed done by the zoning commission and score's a great victory for Ellis and Maxwell, and is entirely satis factory to all the property owners. Further Provisions Legal advisors for the zoning commission have, however, discov ered a new sheaf of technical oh jections. The owner and builder of the Hollywood dining hall, have sec used the signatures of all the property owners required to change the character of the zone to permit such an enterprise in that part of the city, but it is be lieved that these technicalities- will be easily overcome. They have overlooked a further provision of the ordinance which requires that the zoning commis sion must transmit the petition to the city recorder. Then the re corder must set a date for hearing , before the city council. lie must notify all owners of property in any way affected by the hearing. and that at least 10 days shall elapse between the time of send ing the notice and holding the hearing of the council. Following all the prescribed procedure the barbecue problem. to be entirely legal, cannot be brought before the city council be fore the next regular meeting on May 7, and it does not appear that the city council will call a special meeting over such a trif ling matter. In this great battle of a moun tain, over a mouse, and where Maxwell to open his barbecue had to secure a re-classification of the zone in which it is located, new technicalities may appear.

Artists In Provinces Only Ones Making Money BERLIN (AP) Artists out in the provinces are the only ones who are making money nowadays. in the opinion of Professor Ernst Oppler. dean of Berlin etchers and noted painter. "I have made it my business to inquire among my colleagues and among art connoisseurs," he told the Associated Press correspon dent, "and find that with one ac claim they say that the only Ger man artists successful financial ly are those who have established themselves In provincial cities. Hundreds of Berlin artists are meanwhile eking out a miserable living. "Two reasons account for this: as far as the Berlin buying pub lic is concerned, it is governed by fashion. Just now French painters are the fashion. "Secondly, people of means liv ing in the provinces have the lei sure to sit for portraits them selves. Also they especially the country squires have large hous es, with room for paintings. My advice to younger artists is, 'Es tablish yourself in the provinces. Birth Rate Declines On East Side In London LONDON. (AP) Decline In th ebirth rate among the popula tion of London's East Side la at tributed partly to the fact that young Jewish couples are not mar rying at such early ages as for merly, says D. Tscherniakoff, sec retary of the Jewish Health or sanitation of Great Britain. There is a tendency toward a lower birth rate among the gen eral population of Western Europe Mr. Tscherniakoff Bays In further explanation of the decline. He at tributes the decrease in early mar riage to the financial handicap of the times, the young men as rule not making as much money as formerly. "Among the Jews specifically there is also another factor which strengthens these tendencies," says the health society secretary. "It is the slackening, among cer tain sections of Jews, of the strong hold which religion asserted over them, particularly with regard to Its views on the sanctity of family life." Dr. D. L. Thomas, medical offi cer to the Stepney council. In the Whitechapel district. East London, calculates whereas the birth rate among the Jews was between SO and 40 per thousand of ths popu lation prior to the war, It Is now down to 13 per thousand. "The truth of ths matter is that Jewish people are going In for smalle rfamilles," Dr. Thomas says in a report. Betty Nuthall Member Piano Playing Family LONDON.

Is just finishing the first year's work. Since October there have been 182 leagues organized in the state, with 1,936 members. The trustees of the state library are following this work with Interest and are Inclined to use a large por tion of the book fund for books for boys and girls in the rural schools. There are seven leagues in Marlon county in districts 125, 133. 36, 107. 28, 12, and 124 with a membership of 99. State Super intendent Howard will soon Issue certificates to the members who have completed the required read ing. When the children joined the league, they agreed to read one book each month from collections furnished by the Oregon state li brary In its new "little libraries" for children or from the traveling libraries, or the mail order service,! both furnished by the state library. They might read, also, books from the state school library list if they were found in the school library. The reports just received at the state library show that the league is popular in rural districts, and that these country children have probably read more and better books in the "little libraries." and in their reports they list their fa vorites. They liked "Ox Team Days on the Oregon Trail," stories of children of other lands, animal stories, and Indian stories. ALTER CHIEST DILL FOLLOWING PROTEST The Griest postal bill which is now pending before congress will be amended so as to reduce the postage rate on shipments of li brary books, according to tele grams received at the executive department here today. The amendment was prepared by Sen ators Steiwcr and was accepted by the senate committee on post of fl ees and postroads. The Griest bill provided a gen eral reduction in several classi fications of mail matter, but in creased the rate on library books. This was objectionable in Oregon because it .increased the rate on library books shipped from the state library to the rural districts. The objectionable feature of the bill was called to the attention of Governor Patterson by Miss Cor nelia Marvin, state library. Ho pro tested to the Oregon senators. The bill, as amended, reduces ths initial pound rate from five to 3 ceents for first and second zone shipments, and from 6 to 3 cents for third cone shipments The present rate of one cent for each additional pound remains in tact. Senator Stelwer Informed the governor that he believed the amendment would eliminate the present two cent service charge. Miss Marvin said the amendment would prove beneficial to libraries in all parts of the country.

Her work being highly praised by the critics and theatergoers. Miss Mary Mpe has the reputa tion of being the beet looking and most versatile leading woman with traveling stocks. on the Pa cific coast having had varied ex perience with such companies as the Fulton Players in Oakland The Alcazar stock and prominent stock organizations in almost every city on the coast.' Miss Rose Woods one of the youngest character women In the theatrical profession has made an enviable name for herself by her conscientious and intelligent por trayal of different parts. Her ex perience in stock in and around San Francisco has fitted her for success and she has made herself invaluable to the B A C Players. Roland Parker the juvenile leading man Is one of those young good looking chaps that makes himself liked the first perform ance. His singing , and acting while with the B A C Players am ply proves the reputation he made for himself while with the Mor osco farces of Los Angeles and Henry Duffy of San Francisco with whom he was affiliated after coming west from Chicago stock organizations. Wm. Ferris who plays general business has made himself liked by his portrayal of different roles. His versatility is his greatest asset and he is a dandy looking chap off the stage. Miss Marie Miller who Is the clever ingenue with the company was associated for two years as A. D. Woodward's leading woman in Spokane and Denver. Her exper ience during engagements in Kan- eas City, St. Louis and Salt Lake has fitted her as one of the best In her line of work. Three years !n Oakland and Los Angeles stock i6 also embraced in her many suc cessful engagements. Burt Burton who is one of the owners of the B A C Players has been associated in theatrical en terprises for years as an actor of rare ability and pleasing personal ity.

Mr. Burton has had a varied career starting as juvenile then a mean vlllian, then a dandy good leading man and now one of the best all around actors in the west. He has played In stock in every big city on the coast as also the principal cities in middle west and south.

His character work while with the Drew Players in Kansas City fitting him as a com petent actor in any capacity. Mr Coulkins is the director of 'the company and Is very profusive about the ability of the B A C Players as a wonderfully compe tent company.

Sons Follow Lines Not Selected By Their Dads BERLIN (AP) That the sons of German cabinet members do not always approve of the careers pick ed out for them by their minister ial fathers hss again been illustra ted in the case of Helnl Koehler, 28 year old son of the German fi nance minister. Like Waldemar Stresemann, son of the foreign minister, young Koehler was destined for a legal career. He studied jurisprudence In Freidburg, Heidelberg, and Ber lin Universities. But while Strese mann, Jr. had dreams of becom ing a. musical composer, Heini Koehler believed that his talents lay In the direction of stage man agement. He was able to convince his father of this and switched over to belles-lettres, specializing in literary and historical studies of the drama. i He began his career as theater critic for the "Badlsche Beobach-f ter," a daily of Karlsruhe. Soon! he was appointed regisseur for the civic theatre and opera at May ence. The young stage manager sel ected Helnrich von Kleist's drama, "Kaetchen von Hellbronn." for his first larger effort to prove his mettle.
