A pergola will be built to over look the cliff on the northwestern edge of the park, a mass of .flow ers will be planted along the edge of the outer drive on this side. As for the fbur burial divisions themselves, comprising 19 acres and each circled by drives, the lack of ostentation except for nat ural beauty is to be maintained by simple bronze markers for each burial plot. Greenhouses to be erected on one edge of the park will supply flowers the year around for all the dead. An en dowment of $70,000 guarantees perpetual upkeep of the grounds, this above the expenditure of $100,000 for the project.

But today, all Salem and the people of surrounding communl ties will unite fo express the sor row and the pride which are their feelings regarding the men who served their country in time of danger and who have departed, and to honor in a slightly differ ent sense, those who are alive to appreciate this recognition.

In the other C07 districts, rival candidates tonight awaited the day of judgment in this compli cated and. mystifying eletelon. The conservatives, numerical ly the strongest party at dissolu tion of parliament, admit there are no signs ot a landslide their way in any part of the country, but allowing for the reaction against a retiring ministry which Is encountered at every election. they are confident they will se cure a majority of 50 seats over the other parties. The liberals" declare that the conservatives will lose 200 of their 415 seats, most of which they expect to go iiDerai. They hope to attract moderates,. - : from both the conservatives and the labor groups. Labor leaders are in the most confident of all. They regard their chances as usually strong in all Industrial centers, but admit weakness in rural districts, where conservatism is traditional. Tiny Leading Lady Breaks Many Hearts Hollywood once more Is agog, as they say. It is all over a femi nine as usual. She's a blonde, of course'.' and the fact that she is but ten years old do?s not lessen the seriousness ot the affair. The thing started when Anita Lo'iise, charming aud rather flir tatious, was cast as "Leading Lady" in E. Mason Hoppers Pathe production, "Square Shoul ders," in which Junior Cogblaa is featured with L-j-..s Vv'olheim. and which will be the feature attrac tion at the ElsiiiO.x theatra on Saturday next. Since his ascendancy to the province of a featured player, Jun ior has been cnttiuK quite a swath among the feminine hearts of the younger generation. He had things pretty much to himself un til this recent picture, "Square Shoulders," which is set in a mil itary school and which required several score boys his own age. One of these, playing a principal role, was Philippe de Lacy and Philippe is competition for any lady's man. Philippe came to be quite a hdrseman before the picture was far into production and Anita, be ing somewhat of a hero worship per, fell for him hard. Junior displayed his bag of tricks from marbles to magic but without ef fect. It was not until Louis Wol faelm taught him to blow the bu gle that he got any sort of a tum ble from the leading lady. The bugle, however, did the trick and momentarily he gained the upper hand in the quest of milady's fa vor. When prod action was finished on "Square Shoulders," this new est Hollywood triangle was in sta tus quo. It is rumored that the ten-year-old Miss Louise has be come interested in another of Hol lywood's attractive Juvenile swains. Regardless of the out come, a fight scene between Jun ior Coghland and Philippe de Lacy in "Square Shoulders" will be realistic to audiences. There was a reason.

CtBtraAtlool Www ll OF Damages of $550 were awarded C. W. Gibbs and Mrs. Lillian Gibbs by a jury which was out only two hours In circuit court late Wed nesday. A. A.
