fresh air on a sultry night. It has
naught to do with tho eternal tri
angle, very little of sex, and any
suggestion of the thread-bare lore
story plot la very subordinate to
the real theme of the play.
This lack of any of the regula
tion material for screen plots de
velops a genuinely interesting
show one which brings fresh
appreciation and causes the audi
ence to react in genuine admira
tion for clever acting and nimble
wits. i
One hears 1 sincere chuckles in
the humorous spots in the develop
ment of the theme; there la a rapt.
comfortable . interest at all times
and there 4sj something to talk
about afterward- something a bit
new. ' 1
Hamilton's ! political struggle Is
made fascinating material for the
amusement of a theatre audience
by the clever work of George Ar-
I is s. The details of the play are
worked out in each manner that a
smooth, natural development takes
place and the climax comes as
something of a surprise.; ;
Especially interesting work Is
done by Half Harolde, who does
a character part under the name
of; Reynolds,! a good-for-nothing
from an old and ' respected fam
ily. Dudley Digges does excellent
work as the rascally Senator Rob

It was three minutes of eleven

quired two minutes in the house
of lords to 'give the bin .three

house of lords to hear the bill re
ceive royal assent.
! "Gear Rule I Otareed
In spite of Henderson's pledge
it was submitted to several at
tacks in tho commons from labor

many complaints of "gag rule."
There was no division ' on tho
final vote but the successive clos

It Is that the man In - the street

MAY VETO ROUTES
i '
The right of district boundary'
boards to discontinue or veto any
particular school transportation
route coming under their jurisdic
tion was upheld in a ruling hand
ed down yesterday by Attorney
General Van Winkle, at the re
quest of Attorney Earl Knott of
Yamhill county.:
Tho opinion was of especial In
terest to members of the Mar
Ion , county district boundary
board because they have recently
been confronted with protests ov
er their action in laying out
routes in the Stayton and adjoin
ing districts. , ,
The attorney general held that
while district boundary boards
has no authority, fts a matter of
policy, arbitrarily to veto and dis
continue ail, transportation routes,
they have authority to discon
tinue or veto any particular route
and a school district may not es
tablish such a route after the
boundary beard has taken' its ac

been filed in various districts
around Stayton, protesting
against certain routes establish

Cooperative Plan to Obtain
New Texts. Exchange of j
0!d Ones Proposed !
Three arrangements I can " bo
made to enable high achool stu
dents to lower the cost of their
history books, according to tho
suggestion of I. C, Nelson, prin
cipal : emeritus ' and , head of the
history department. He has sug
gested to teachers in1 his depart
meat; that they ; employ one of
these plans. :..;'
Xosr students ia the American
history SA class, where the text
has been, changed and the new
books hare a retail price of 22.12,
one of thf three following plans,
may be put into effect:-First, that
teachers dispense with the books
and present the material direct to
the paplls, allowing them to take
permanent notes , In organized
form and supplement this - work
with library, reeding; second, that;
while the teacher presents the ma-t
terial as ia tho first plan, enough
of last year's texts be kept on j
third, that, as suggested by Miss
Mabel Robertson, dean of girls, a
rental fee sufficient to purchase
enough books for the nso of the
largest class be collected, and the
books be considered as common
property; all the pupils sharing
alike in tho expense and use of
tho texts. : t
Book Exchange to
Handle Old Texts
.The same texts will be used In
American history i 4 A and Euro
pean history 2 and 4, as last year.
Mr. Nelson advocates that the pu
pils in the European section en
deavor to secure their books
through the used-book exchange
which is operated at the high
school, and that all students who
have already taken the courses
place their old texts on sale there.
The history department is the
first i in the high school to take
tho step this year in solving tho
textbook problem. A rental system
was used In the English depart
ment' last year. Other departments
are expected to follow Mr. Nel
son's suggestions, although it is
up to the department heads and
students to take the Initiative if
they desire to do so. The free
textbook law enacted at the last
session of the legislature covers
only the elementary schools.

It is alleged that they are. unab
to give them the proper care.
Kindness I Unrequited :
The assault and robbery result
ed from an act ! of kindness done
by Mr. and Mrs. Graber, they be
lieve. Early Sunday morning they
placed the two women, who were
hitch hiking: along the highway,
with tho two children crying, in
one of their cabins, and fed them.
In the afternoon the women ask
ed Mrs. Graber to watch tho chil
dren while they went to Salem.
They returned later, saying that
they had located two men who
would take them on north., T
Graber, in the meantime, . his
attention attracted to three men
who were moving about in the
tall timber nearby, walked In that
direction to Investigate. ' One Of
the men, believed to be Olson,
struck him under : the right . eye
and the other two pounced upon
him and took his money. While
the two men dragged their victim
deeper Into tho woods, to "finish
him off" as one of them said, the
third rushed to the cabin to get
the women and children. 'When
Graber called for help, the entire
party fled. .-..
Meanwhile, Mrs. Graber had
telephoned the police. George Al
exander, of the state police, who
was hurrying to the scene, cap
tured Olson, separated from bis
partners, twenty minutes i after
the robbery . After Selleck had
driven the others to Albany and
left them ata hotel, he drove
north to Salem and here was ar

National Convention- Holds
To Free Discussion of
Bonus, Prohibition -
DETROIT, Sept! 21. (AP)
The American Legion today turn
ed down a proposal to limit dis
cussion In Its Uth national con
vention j sad anneuaced ; Itself
ready to take up iat- length oues-
tions that com e before it.
The decision to; hear in debate
tho various shades of opinion on
controversial subjects was .: made
after men who led them tn war
had called npen members of the
veterans organization to carry en
with courage, and wisdom in the
economic battles of today. ;
v This plea to the peace-time sol
diers of the nation! was the key-,
note of the opening session. Presi
dent Hoover and Commander
Ralph T4 O'Neil represented the
leadership of the present. War
leaders were represented by New
ton D. Baker,, former secrtary of
war, and General; Charles P. Sum
merali, retired, who made address
es, and by General John J. Per
shing, who telegraphed his mes
sage from Lincoln Neb.
Great Crowd f Enthusiastic
The patriotic appeals were re
ceived with unmirred enthusiasm
by the delegates and visitors, who
taxed the capacity; ef Olympic '
arena, a! vast auditorium seating '
14,000 persons and with standing
room foT.2000 more.'
The chief controversial subjects
which various groups seek to bring
before the convention are bonus
payments and prohibition. With :
the exception of opposition to the
present interest rate of 4 vper
cent on bonus loaas, as too high,
the tenor of reports and addresses
has been! away from any further
request to the .government for
able-bodied former service men.
-Commander: O'Neil expressed
confidence that If it Is found "lib
eralization," of the bonus pay-'
ments would Impose a hardship the
Lgion woma not sbk ii.
May Debate Prohibition
' Prohibition last year was ruled'
out of order as a political issue,
but several state departments have
come j to the present convention
with yarlous modification propos
als and are hopeful tor a full dis-
cussioa . of them, j f i . i ;
The Legion members tonight
prepared: for a day of pageantry
tomorrow. The big parade in which
each department will be represent
ed by i marchers, bands and floats
will start at 11 af m., and is ex
pected to continue until late In the -afternoon.1
