SCOTTY ALLEN'S That William Duncan, star, in "Wolves of the North," Univer sal penvtratingly Interesting chapter play, depicting strenuous life in the frozen Canadian wilder ness .appearing at the Blight thea ter today is a stickler for details accounts for the fact that the swiftest dog team in the world plays an important part in the cast. "Scotty" Allen's team, win ner of several Alaskan sweep stakes matched against other fast dog teams on location, easily won the speed and endurance contests. Seven dog teams were used in the production, which consumed fourteen months in tho making, and all the sleds, harnesses, light and heavy toboggans were the real equipment formerly in dally practical use. Wben William Duncan and Edith Johnson were learning to drive dog teams, the services of "Scotty' Allen were se cured and soon "Baldy Jr.," 'Whltny," "El Graney," "The Ulackboy," noted registered mtila mutes, became as obedient to the stars as they formerly were to "Scotty," exclusively. Other teams were made up from the kennels of Mrs. E. T. Darling of Berkeley and Seattle. There Is a movement afoot to transport the Smokey river sweep stakes winners east, during the coldest part of the coming winter, and exhibit them In cities where "Wolves of the North" Is running.

Keep it always in your home. I LI SAYS OFFICIAL M. B. Rcilly, district manager of the Pacific Northwest Brick .Manufacturers' association, has dent a letter to the state board of control flaying the board for the attitude It has taken, and state ments made public relative to the use of brick in the construction of public buildings. The board took the position that concrete rather than brick would have to be used in the con struction of a new dormitory ut the state institution for feeble minded for the reason that the high wages demanded by bricklay ers, the demand for a Saturday half-holiday by the workmen and the limit placed on the number of bricks laid in a day made It pro hibtlive to use brick, even though the brick could bo furnished by the state prison. The board stated that bricklayers demanded (10 to $12 a day and $8 a day for help ers. "I wish to state emphatically, as a representative of the brick In dustry, that these statements, whether they are the belief of your state board of control or not, they are absolutely false," says Mr. Reilly's letter. "In the first place, a bricklayer works a full eight-hour day, the same as any Individual. Wher ever you get the Idea that his hours are any shorter than tbls, you are being sadly misinformed. It is almost inconceivable to me. to understand how you can believe that a limit be placed on tho amount of brick laid in a day's time. If you gave it even a sec ond's thought, you should see how absolutely absurd It is to think for a minute that It could be true. ' It is Just as logical to believe that ; a limit Is placed on your own pro duction. Why is it that the brick layers and the brick industry are always held up as examples i 'robbers' because statements arc made that are not true? The bricklayer's wage 1b a Just one, for the work he performs, and he does his work well, without condemn ing or criticising others whom he is helping to support by paying his taxes like the rest of us. "In justice to the brick indus try of the state, the mis statements you have been led to believe as true should be retract ed, and a thorough investigation of facts should be made in the fu ture before such erroneous opin ions are formed, and publicity giv on to them." oMan.. jo man I. l J HOI-TAN cl cgSr yoitll like "Contents noted, and I beg to remain long enough for another ROMAN PANETELA."

Commercial St. Salem, Oregon i BRITAIN LIKELY London, July 30 (AP) The chances for averting the threaten ed British coal strike seems de creased today. Negotiations be tween coal mine owners and work ers, meeting separately with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, wore re sumed this morning In a gloomy atmosphere. Leaders of both sides after meeting the premier, spoke pessimistically of the prospect. The hope for a settlement is ftfrther off than It has ever been before," A. J. Cook, secretary of the miners' federation, said. W. A. Lee, secretary of the min ing association of Great Britain, representing the owners, said there was not "a ghost of a chance" that the owners would withdraw their demands for two weeks to permit a continuation of negotiations with the workers for that period. The "demands" refer to the own ers Insistence upon a new working agreement involving longer hourB and lower wages to supplant the present agreement, which expires tomorrow. The miners havo re fused to accept and have ordered a strike effective at the expiration of tho present agreement. It is man's weakness which makes him sociable. It is our com mon miseries which draw our hearts to humanity. Will Be Here Friday 2 P. M. lj Barbara LaMarr I f i Conway 1 a X Tearle IIP 1 Friday Fffl Saturday 1 Sunday 1 1 !

Your Motor's Mile Power Depends on Economical Motor Oil And here's a paradox: The best oil for your motor is by no means the highest-priced. Nor is its economy confined to its cost. It saves most in motor up'keep. You've paid a high price for motor oil thinking thus to get quality-insurance. With most things, this would be true. But not so with motor oils. Aristo Motor Oil, for example, is one of the first quality. It is produced In California, by refining methods of the highest order and with the most modern facilities. It sells for almost half the price of eastern oils. And for the very simple reason that it is produced -in volume, and carries no heavy freight costs from the east. Aristo is a rare lubri cant. It combats the for mation of carbon. And this is its greatest saving. You can pay twice as much and not get as good motor oil as Aristo.
