Goat on Road
Got Sam's Goat
Sam Laughlin, state Industrial ac
cident commissioner, went fishing
over in Tillamook county a few days
ago. On his return home, driving
his Ford, the road was a little slip-
pcry and Sam got to thinking about
accident commission affairs and ab
sent mindedly ran over a goat that
was grating along the' road and
had run out In front of Sam's ma
chine.
The accident didn't seem to be
of an Industrial nature to Sam, or
one to require that sort of an in
vestigation, so he stepped on his
Ford and tried to forget the goat.
A day or two afterward he got a
long distance call.
"This Is a deputy sheriff from
Tillamook county and we happen
to nave your car number here given
us by a party who saw you run
over a goat up this way the other
day, said the voice.
"O, yes, yes, yes," said Sam. "I
will be riht over your way and
take the matter up further."
And Sam had got his satchel
packed and was Just getting ready
to start for Tillamook county when
he got another phone call. Tills
time is was from Justice Harry Belt,
who was In on the secret. The Jus
tice confided to Sam that the dep
uty who called r an Dr. Starbuck of
Dallas, who had also heard the
story.
"Bellve me, I'll get his goat.
muttered Sam, as he unpacked his
satchel.

RIO RITA AMONG
BEST PICTURES
SEEN THIS YEAR
By HARRY CRAIX
Lovers of clean, wholesome and
musically melodious entertainment,
who have not availed themselves of
the opportunity of viewing -Rio
Rita." which is to close its showing
at the Fox Elsinore theater Friday,
have been depriving themselves of
a Christmas gift they will appre
ciate. Beyond question, "Rio Rita" Is to
be listed among the best sound pic
ture productions ever released, and
looking back over some of the mar
velous pictures of the past year that
is saying considerable.
In it is mixed a wealth of tune
ful, catchy and soothing music, fea
tured by outstanding solo and duet
work by John Boles and Bebe Dan
iels. Movie fans who had Bebe Dan
iels written down as just another
movie queen of the silent screen will
have their estimation of her talents
radically revised by bearing her in
this production.
As for Boles, he entrenches his
voice as the best yet heard in the
talkiet even more firmly by his per
formance in this show.
The plot structure of tha play Is
on a par with the average of musical
comedies and light operas and Is
easy to follow in the smooth se
quence of Its development. Bert
Wheeler, Dorothy Lee and Robert
Woolsey contribute some entertain
ing comedy and dancing, and pre
sent some clever light musical num
bers. In gorgeousness of costume and
settings the color scenes on the pi
rate barge are magnificent demon
strations of the development of the
photographic art in film making.
From every angle it la a wonderful
picture.
HITS HILLSIDE
Loom Is, Calll. (Py The skill of a
veteran air mail pilot was credited
Thursday with having prevented
serious Injury in the crash near
here Wednesday night of a Boeing
plane carrying two passengers and
25 sacks of westbound mall.
The plane, flying from Reno to
Oakland with the trans-continental
air mail, struck a hillside a short
distance east of Loomis while its
pilot, Ray Little, one of the oldest
mail fliers In the west, was flying
low in an attempt to loilow the
lighted airway.
O. W. Ren Is h of Omaha, and Mrs.
J. Sullivan, of San Francisco, were
the passengers. Renlsh was unhurt
but Mrs. Sullivan received a scalp
wound. Little and his co-pilot. Ted
Bogard, were scratched. The plane
was badly smashed.
The plane plowed through about
300 feet of stumps and brush. Little
stayed with the wreck, guarding the
mall sacks all night. None of the
mall was damaged.

away from me In one small com
munity like Salem.
Had it not been for Bob Cole and
the rest of the members of the wel
fare committee of the Elks I do not
think I ever would have found half
of them.
Take, for Instance, one family of
children we visited Tuesday seven
of them. They live In a little house
out in the country that is hardly
more than a shack. The father has
been sick for weeks and unable to
work. When we got there he had a
temperature of 103, so Mr. Cole Inv
mediately got busy and saw to It
that he was take to a hospital lor
treatment.
Their mother told me that for
days and days she had been skimp
ing and scraping along, never know
ing from one day to another where
the meager fare of bread and po
tatoes was coming from.
I don't believe there was a single
pair of whole shoes or a warm coat
among all the members of the lam-
But they are going to be remem
bered on Christmas. The Elks have
told me that they will see to that.
If that were the only case of Its
kind I would not be worried. But
there are dozens as bad or even
worse, and with my supply of toys
and rood baskets and clothing and
shoes exhausted I don't see how
they are all going to be taken care
of unless the good people of Salem
put a lot more money in the Cheer
fund.
The showing of the moving pic
tures of Santaland and my castle
and the elves and gnomes have been
the high spot of my visit, for at
these showings I have met some
of the most wonderful boys and
girls I have ever known.
I atn looking forward with antici
pation to the shows at Dallas,
given through the courtesy of
Oeorge Gould of the Majestic thea
ter, Thursday afternoon, and the
one at the Isis theater In Indcp-nd-
ence Friday afternoon when Ross
Nelson Is throwing his howw open
to the kiddies free as a Christmas
gift.
Saturday atfemoon I am going
to meet the children of Wood bum
at the Btingnlow theater. I was

afraid that I was not going to be
able to visit Wood bum. but when
Fred Evenden of the Evenden drug
company, and C. P. Hansen of the
Hansen Motor company heard I
might not get there they sent word
that they bad made all arrange
ments to have the theater open at
2:30 o'clock In the afternoon, and
that all of the children In Wood
burn were planning on being there.
I have been having a wonderful
visit at the showing of my pictures
In the state institutions.
Wednesday afternoon I was In
vited out to the school for the feeble
minded to show the pictures and to
talk to the boys and girls. There
were too many children there to
get them all Into the room where
the pictures are shown, so I enter
tained the girls In the afternoon
and went back there Wednesday
night for a party with the boys.
Friday night I have been invited
out to the tuberculosis hospital and
If nothing goes wrong I am going
to meet all of the boys at the state
training school on my way to Wood
burn Saturday.
But I really am worried about all
of the poor little boys and girls. The
Elks are doing everything they can
to help out. Because they fear that
the Cheer Fund is going to be short
this year they are giving a big
dance at Crystal Garden Friday
night and the musicians of the El
sinore and Thomas Brothers or
chestra are going to help out by
donating their combined services.
Bill Paulus, exalted ruler, told me
Thursday morning that he has a
big time planned for the regular
lodge meeting Thursday night and
that he might have another big sur
prise for me Friday,
