how and where to find the basket,
succeeded In capturing two field
throws and six fouls, while Fowler,
the locals' sensational forward,

In a field throw to his credit. Walla

AT THE PASTUE S U K DAY
Sir Gilbert Parker Is the first Anglo
Saxon writer of the first rank to have
his best known novel plcturized and
presented at a Broadway Theatre.
Sienkewicz (Quo Vadls); D'Annunzio
(C'abirla) were his intellectual equals
and predecessors. Every possible
Juntice has been done to Parker's
book. We are becoming accustomed
unfortunately, to measuring the valutj
or drawing power of these motion pic
tures by the amount of money spent
ln making them. But this thing
doesn't always work out that way with
machine like precision. The public
has a knack of manifesting Its own
preferences Irreppectlve of the influ
ences of the dollar. In recent times,
some of the costliest movies made
have fallen as flat as ditchwater; the
reason for this Is that while the money

There wasn't a story or if there was
a story It wasn't well acted, or the
f hotography was poor.
Now in "The Heats of the Mighty,"
you get a heart Interest story, running
like a thread, through scenes of Court
life and intrigue, through political
convulsions and upheavals; even
through war and revolutions. Tlm
and again It seems as If the gallant
young Vlrglniun, Robert Moray, and
his devoted young fiance, can never
poHM'ss each other. And yet true
love triumphs as we all want it to on
the stage; on the screen; and ln real
life.
The discussion began' ln the morning,
was resumed at the afternoon session
and continued until 3 o'clock, delay
ing action on the prohibition bill.
Strong opposition came from Rep
resentatives Stewart, Clark and Hare,
who pleaded for economy. Clarke's
speech bore a touch of the dramatic
when he depicted the plight of the
eastern Oregon farmer bearing the
burden of taxation and so poor that
he Is unable to sow his acres to wheat
In his closing argument Represen

of the future Oregon home if the
people of the state continue to neglect
their native resources. Falling to pro

Overdrafts are Doomed.
Under the new bank and currency
law it Is evident the government is
going to be much more strict than
formerly with reference to the regu

this they have already commenced
to prohibit overdrafts and advising
the banks that overdrafts will not be
countenanced by the department. The
department Is cooperating with all the
states to have the state banks do the
same thing. While It has been the
custom to allow overdrafts the de

as an 'unsound method of banking.
