QVAL1TY FIRST national ' education ot any kind sounds like one of Aladdin's dreams; they have wallowed in their ignor ance with such Insolent satisfaction. They will probably get the benefits ot allied policing, for the good ot the rest of the world, and financial di rection for the same reason. Other wise their progress Is up to their laiy dirty selTes. It they can educate themselves Into decency, so much the better. SOLDI ER LETTERS THE TURKS FACE-ABOUT Constantinople newspapers, rep resenting a large backing ot popular opinion, have suggested that the United States take over complete control of Turkish finances and the national1 police and supervise their national education. ' This request represents an amus ing about-face In Turkish methods and Ideals. For ' many years foreign nations held extra-territorial rights in Tur key which permitted them to protect their citizens in that country from trial in' Turkish courts, and to es tablish postal service and other util ities. All this was necessary because Turkey has never been more than half civilized. No matter how much she hated the system she felt com pelled to assent to it, until the pros pect of German backing for her ne farious practices gave her courage to withdraw the privilege from the United States and other govern ments. She would listen to no pro tests, but went her way until brought up short by defeat at the hands of Great Britain. The Turks are such notorious thieves it is no wonder they are ask ing aid In protecting their finances from one another. And perhaps now that they cannot vent their cruelty on foreigners, the Turkish police ere giving the ir own people a taste of their ways, thus leading to the ap peal for help in this department. But that the Turks should ask for November 15, 1918. Dear Folks: Just a few lines, to let you know that I am still well and had one ot the biggest times of my life yester day in Paris over the good war news, and I suppose you folks are all happy over there. Well, Paris was one of the noisest cities in the world I think, and I had the ood luck in being there at the time, and it would make a big book of all the things that were pulled off there. They didn't even go to bed the first night. I will tell you just a little bit of the way they carried on. The whole city was out, some crying, others yelling while they pushed down the streets. Girls, men and kids were throwing their arms around the Yanks ' necks, with showers of kisses. Oh. it was great, and I happened to get my share. Last night the American colored boys were surrounded by girls who kissed them. Caan you imagine anything like that? But of course you have read most everything in the papers, so I won't go on with It, but you can believe all the papers say and can imagine more. Well, I guess it will be some time before I get home, but hope to get ther before the summer haa gone. I don't know just what we will do yet. The aviation work Is going on as if the war was still on, don't even know how long that will be, but here's hoping I get home soon, I am studying French now and hope to be carrying on a conversa tion soon. Gee, I felt awkward while in Paris, the girls coming up and taking me by the arm and talk in while I was talkin to her and neither could understand the other, but still I enjoyed it. I have met a few who could talk English some. There is such a bunch of pretty girls In France. They all tog up like a million dollar baby, and they also know how to use the powder and paint, even more so than the girls in the states. Paris is a wonderful place and an easy place to get lost in, and I know for I spent three hours trying to lo cate my station. Tomorrow is Wilson's day in France and the people are going to celebrate. I think I will be In Paris for it It we have a holiday, anyway 1 will be ther Sunday If nothing hap pens. Everything Is very high over here. A good teed costs 1700 centimes which Is only $3.40 in our money, that la what a feed coat me and It was good at that It is getting cold over here now; some Ice on the water of a morning and it doesn't feel very encouraging to me. I rather dread the winter I coming on. Yea, I still have my sweater, wear ing It every day and hope It will last until I get home. I received a letter from you, dated Oct. 6, the first letter In over a month but my mall Is transferred around a good deal by my moving around so much. We have a large Y. M. C. A. here where I spend most of my spare time. I haven't heard from' Sis' for a long time, but have been looking tor a letter from her. Weil, it is nearly time for French class so I must close for this time. Hoping to hear from you before many months. With love, your son, RAY E. WIUIAMS. t 1108 Casual Squadron, A. A. A. P, A. P.

''j Mrs. Chas. Dora and daughter, Queen Every, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. 'George Jones. Miss Hazel King spent the week end at her home on Louse Creek, re turning Sunday evening to her work at the Mapleton school, Mrs. G. S. Eaton and Mrs. Doug las Wood visited Ferrydale Monday on the Red Cross d rive. Mrs. S. H. Griffin returned home Saturday, after visiting friends at your city several days. Mrs. A. C. Ford shipped some dressed turkeys to Portland, markets this week. Dan Robertson, Ben Jones, M. L Griffin and G. H. Griffin were among those who attended the sale at Grants Pass Saturday. A, J, Hussey delivered some beef cattle for market at Grants Pass Saturday. J, Wertz was trying out some of our mud-holes Sunday. Hope he didn't get discouraged and will visit us again. E. C. Neely and little son Paul came out to the Neely ranch Thurs day. We learn that Mrs. Neely Is much Improved and Is on the way to recovery from her recent illness. Mrs. Lester Brlggs and Mrs. Meeks were visiting at Grants Pass Sun day. Uhe Temple Market FRUITDALE Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rouer enter talned Will Crawford, lately home from Camp Meade, as a Saturday night guest, and Miss Sexton of Port land on Sunday, at their town home. We are happy to hear that the members of the Williams family are rapidly recovering from their attack ot tonsllitis. Mrs. Hamilton wrote Tuesday that Gall was very sick with pneumonia, but thought there was a slight im provement, and as the attending physician has a record of having nev er lost a pneumonia patient, they have grett hopes of his recovery. . Charley Augustine left Sunday for his home In Napoleon, Ohio, to spend the winter. A. 8. Farquaharson finally suc ceeded In securing a house In Port land. He came down Siturday and Oh, boy! That "gol" can sure troupe! We've had a lot ot 'em from the stage try to bust through on the screen, but must of them stubbed thulr toe about the first or second bust. Sometimes this has been be cause the stage favorites were get ting too old to stand the searching eye ot the camera and sometimes It was becauxe of publicity or favorit ism lustead of merit. In quite a num ber of cases failure on the screen followed success on the stage be cause of the different environment and conditions and the Inability to relster the voice. But Naalmova say, she just sim ply flashes onto tho screen and owns It. She feels what she Is doing and knows how to express emotion by body movements as well as the shift ing ot the facial muscles. Nailmova need never return to the stage If sho likes the freedom of film work and the beautiful checks film "maKKots" can write. She Is there! and ht can stay there as one of our great est emotional film stars. George Hsknr Is dfiorvlng of a tremendous amount of credit for pre senting the little beauty to splendid advantage. Some stars who tried to do screen work were killed early by bad direction and poor directing. In this Nailmova has been beauti fully lighted and the dlroctlon of the entire offering Is excellent. It Is dramatic, Interesting and dncldudl)' distinctive as to atmosphere with an occasional laugh In the early part to carry It along properly. I want to comment particularly on tho composition of some of the exteriors taken In Florida. They were exquisite, and tho lighting and camera work throughout was excell ent. The sets carried the same Im pressive atmosphere, and from a pro duction viewpoint this certainly hits on high. Wld's Films Film Talk.
