SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 1930 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON PAGE SEVEN SPECIAL RACING CARS BUILT FOR FILM THRILLER Constructing special automobiles in which, despite high speed, wheels would photograph as turning forward, and the exact sense o( speed attained could be photo graphed, was a queer technical problem In connection with Wil liam Haines' new starring vehicle "Speedway, a synchronized sound production on this week end's bill at the Fox Elslnore. Ordinary racing cars at high speed "blur" .when, photographed. Hence studio camera experts de signed special bodies, the lines of which could never "diffuse" under high speed, and In the case of Ernest Torrence, an entire new car was constructed, large enough to give Uie huge actor the necessary leg room. One of those swiftly moving Panchon and Marco "Ideas" Is promised by advance reports on "Overtures" idea, which also opens Saturday. A boot dance, In which animated rubber boots seem to execute a ser ies of terpslchorean evolutions of their own accord, Is only one of the features. Another, It Is said, will be a miniature illuminated young woman, who dances in the blackness of an otherwise dark stage, p-rfoming seemingly im Dossible acrobatics and foot work As a variation from the accepted adagio. Sunklst beauties are pro grammed to hur themselves upon one young man, who is said toi act as understander for all taking them as fast as they arrive. In scenes, the "Idea" rapidly goes from a green and orchid sum mer garden, to a dark stage, and then to a Grecian setting. Almost anything may happen, according to reports of those who have witnes sed the "Idea" In other cities. ism (Continued from Page S) Maine was given under the direc tion of Mrs. Arthur D.

OF SNOW BLANKETED CAPITAL 'Sourdough' Jerry Mickay Begs Grubstake Until He Locates Fabulous Nuggets Grants Pass (AP) Back where the wintry winds whine the chinks of many deserted works. As the old man labors he dreams of the past and Pnders the future. For the old man Is Jerry Mickay. And the name Jerry Mickay. back In the days when Browntown and numerous other mining camps flourished was not one to be conjured with. At least that Is the mental inter pretations one gets listening to the old miner as he tells of inci dents of more than a half century ago. Time has halted the tread of the old miner and his eye sight may not be what It was in the days of gun totting. But his memory of the past has not dimmed. Jerry came back to the Grants Pass mining section two weeks ago. Sort'a blew in like a winter snow bird. Second time he had been back, so he said, since the night Jack Thistle, notorious gambler and ruler of the Rich Bar, up in the Tigertown section, beat a boy to death because he thought the lad had stolen a cache of gold. Jerry says he remembers the night on account of a little argument that followed the fatal lashing. The next moment there were two new graves back . of the saloon. Neither was occupied by Thistle. Like a lot of old sourdoughs Mickay carries around In his mem ories a dream of hidden gold highly visionary perhaps, but to hear the old miner, tell. Its hidden paradise where miners can pan and pan In an old mystery bed that flowed centuries before the cavemen came to live along the Rogue river. Somewhere between Grants Pass and the ghost like ruins of Brown- town and Tigertown, 30 feet below the present surface level, is the bed of an ancient river. If one is to believe the miner, which has thou sands of large nuggets of rare gold. jerry says he knows the location but is mysterious when asked why he had not tapped It before. uruostake me for W dava and I wUl make you rich." That's Uie old man's explanation and ap proach In one. TEXAS CLOSES BIG WILD GAME AREAS Austin, Tex. (IP) If Connecticut should forbid all hunting for 10 years, It would do no mora for game preservation than Texas haa done. Hunting is absolutely for bidden for 10 years on gsme sanc tuaries In Texas with more area than all of Connecticut and lour times as big as Rhode Island. There are 63 of these sanctuavrles with a total of 3,203,122 acres where wild life Is held sacred. The largest Is a 414,314 acre tract In eight counties where hunting Is forbid den untU November 1, 1933. The earliest sanctuaries were estab lished In 1925. The latest was a , 000 acre tract In Calhoun county owned by W. U Moody of Galves ton. It became a sanctuary on Pebruarv 27, 1923 and will be closed until 1939. These sanctuaries are not the earliest efforts of Texas to preserve the hordes of game for which the state once was famous. A review of the conservation steps, just Is- sued by the State Game, Fish and Oyster commission, shows that Tex as had Its first game law in 1860. That law prohibited killing quail on Galveston Island for two years. Beside the game sanctuaries, practically every form of non predatory wild life now Is protect ed by closed seasons.

Mont. (LP) Earlv flies of the Montana Post, published 63 years ago in Virginia City, relate how a group of House members re fused to swear allegiance to the American flag at the first leglsla tlve session of Montana, Dec 22, 1864. The situation was embarrassing ana Gov. Edgerton, territorial gov. ernor appointed by President Lin, coin, cast about for a solution. He pointed out that refusal to acknowl- edge the United States amounted to virtual anarchy and added that the assembly might be forced to dls band. The pseudo-revolutionaries were adamant. And then the Governor discovered the right key to the problem. He told the recalcitrant lawmakers that no salary could be paid them unless they formally swore allegiance. The Post's amusing account con cludes: 'This touched the Madison county delegation In a tender place, and with such wry faces as a - patient who tastes distasteful purgative after eating turkey buzzards, they swallowed the "iron-clad" without mental reservation or evasion.

Although IMS was less of a travel year than any year since 1934, aa far as American tourists are concerned, French official sources five at 210,OO0,000 the amount of American gold poured Into the laps of French hotel-keepers, music hall owners, railroads and steamships. France's tourist attractions and scenic beauties brought ber more In her exchange with America than did all her merchandise ex ports. American tourists left In France five times the sum In gold that France paid to the United States last year on her war debts account. Yet France 1 worried because there was a noticeable slump In tourist travel during 192. The Wall street crash, which sobered America, has had an Immediate effect on tourist travel, and the Riviera is comparatively empty while last year at this time It was filled with Americans, vacation ing on the profits of their pastime In wall street. . From unofficial but conservative sources. It Is learned that Ameri can tourists left 2,000.000,000 francs less behind them In 1929 than the previous year. Most of that money went to Germany and Italy where tourists are beckoned with Dromlses of relief from vexa tious taxation. That has led to a new undercurrent of protest in France against the many petty taxes to which a visit lug foreigner is subjected. THE BIG SHOT (Continued from Page 8) a low cry of despair broke from her Hps as she set the now useless can dle down on the ledge. She did not know where else to took. Batty Rose must have taken the match he bad used from his own pocket there were none hero. What was she to do Even with a Ught to aid her In her search for Phil she was not sure she could win ber race against time; but In this pitiless blackness where aha could see nothing, where slit could only grope forward blindly every loot' of the way, where she could not even come upon the doors to the rooms except through the sens of tench, it seemed a though all hope of suc cess was ruthlessly, mercilessly swept away. Dismay surged upon her then fear, an agony of It. What was she to dor "Try, yon little coward I" an Inner prompted contemptuously. "You'll never find him by standing there! Try I Suppose there art a dozen rooms In the house, how do you know you wouldn't have the luck fto find him In. the very first one you entered? Try! It was like a whiplash, that voice. It spurred her on. She wag la in stant action. She began to run with her hand rubbing along the side of the wall. What did it matter if aha fell? She must go quickly. There was no time to go any oth er way, for there were too many rooms to search. There was this floor here, and the one below, and he remembered having seen that there was an upper story when she had inspected the house from the outside and the one above. Phil might be on any one of the three floors she had nothing to guide her in that respect. She could only begin with the first room she came to, and thereafter take them In turn as long aa she had time, or or until she found Phil, Her hand would tell her when she came to a door, and Here was one nowl She halted and her fingers, feeling along the edge oi the door near the jamb, sought and found the door know. She swung the door wide open and in sudden uplift, gave a little cry of relief. It wasn't to be so hope less alter an. Each room wouldn't have to be searched by the sense of touch. It would have taken such endless time to do that, and that was what she had been so much afraid of. True, It was still dark and murky, but she could at least see that no one was lying bound there upon th floor. She had forgotten the window;. The Intense blackness In the halls was due to the fact that all the doors of the rooms were closed. Each room would have a window, and, dim and faint as It was, the night light in the windowed rooms would be like noonday come red with the utter blackness she had experienced before. And now through this window she caught the reflection of a street Ught. This was the front room then, the one whose window she had noticed was just on a level with the stoop at the front entrance. She could go no further, then. In this direction. Leaving the door open, as she meant now to lave aU the doors open behind her In order to dispel as much of the darknet as possi ble, she crossed the haU, expecting to una another room onnoslte the one she had just left and came in stead of the foot of the staircase leading to the upper floor. She paused then for an Instant In Indecision. Should she go up or down? Should she explore first the other rooms through which Batty Rose had escaped and which open ed on the passage that led to the back atalrs, and then search the basement or should she go up to tne uoor aoover Her hesitation had been more mental than physical, for she had scarcely paused at all. She found herself running up the stairs. She had Intended to work her way back aiong tne nail, out nad found her self confronted by the stairs in stead. Perhaps It was meant that she should find the stairs In front of rierl -She reached the head of the stairs, and now she was trailing her hand again along the waU In search of a door.
