Somewhat of a scandal has been, taused in England by the discovery that a "Pilgrim's Progress" film Is full of profanity. There had been previously much ' criticism of the strong language characterizing many American, pro ductions, based on the frequent oc currence of profane phrases plainly printed on the films. But nobody suspected the depravity concealed In Chat pious version of the Heavenly Pilgrim, until it was shown to the Inmates of a deaf-mute Institution. They could read the lips of the ac tors, and what they read on the lips of the man portraying the part of "Talkative" filled that asylum with excitement and Indignation. It developed that the actor in question, who was told to converse ' freely during -the filming, in order to make the picture life-like, became exasperated over something or oth er, and filled the place with lurid ! and picturesque profranity, all of which the camera unfailingly treas ured tip for subsequent revelation. Movie patrons as well as actors may derive a' lesson from this sad tale. Dont be too Sure-that the lero Is murmuring words of love or that the heroine is conversing like a perfect lady. Learn to read lips, and see what they're really saying. It may shatter some fond illusions, but it will add' a new element ot in terest to the movie shows.

"The covenant ot the league is very imperfect." he says, "but -It Is the end of war. I wish it could haVe been better. But I will vote for It in order to amend it later. "If we begin by rejecting It, there is no use speaking ot amending it. Tliis would be destroying all- the preparations of peace and starting another war. We could not, in France, endure this idea'. We have suffered too much." Speaking for his own senate, he says: "We are bound to ratify It. Otherwise, what is the consequence? Another conference? How long would that take? How many dis cussions? Another treaty with what assurance that the people would accept It? There is already too much revolution, anarchy and bolshevtsm. ' We must finish the Job now." CAMPERS HAVE GREAT An eastern writer says those who are shouting for Immediate, drastic action against Mexico might do well to ponder on the question whether, having Just emerged from one war, we want to get Into another right away. Good advice, yet the Greasers should be made to respect those Am ericans living along the border. If the 600.400 railway employes are going to strike for the purpose of bringing down the high cost o living, let them make haste and the public will be with them; but If all they want is another raise In wages. their action will merely cause more unrest ajid general dlssatlafar-tlon. Apparently the profiteers and trusts have a strangle hold on the public. The president and. congress now have en opportunity to show what they can do. XOT A JOKE Obviously, Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the democratic national committee, mifta.1tes the temper of the American people when he pooh poohs the investigation, of spruce production in the Pacific Northwest. It Is part and parcel of the most dis graceful failure in this nation's war preparedness, from top to bottom, is a stench in the nostrils of 'America. At the end of one and one-half years of preparation, and at the time the armistice was signed, the war de partment had delivered exactly 1 4 fighting planes in France. The people have not forgotten that bo denial, official or unofficial, has ever been made to the charges that nearly $1,000,000,000 was absolute ly wasted. , Ot course, the old hog tied congress did not wish to press an investigation which was certain to discredit the war administration. The present congress is under no re straint. Mr. Cummings in his parti san zeaj forgets that the people who must pay for the squandered 1ilHon, have the right to know the truth, however humiliating it may fee. Portland Telegram. Mr. and .Mrs. A. 11. Cornell, accom panied by Percy Scovlll, Kinmelt Hoffman, John Tandy. Miss Hob Hawks, W. C. Sfhuppell and Miss Kclna Cornell, started on a hike for Che famous Oregon 'uvea, leaving Caves Camp at S a. ni. Sunday and arriving at the Caves at 12 o'clock. After lunch and a ttwKlrest they were taken in the caves at 1 p. m. by Guide iRowley, who gave them a.1 splendid sight-seeing trip for three hours. - On the return trip the iwrty left the Caves at 4:10 p. m. and arrived at Caves Camp at 8:30 p. m. Every one came in with flying colors, but more or lees tired. Mr. Cornell says he "Um 'been in about all the ca.miw that Josephine county, possesses, but asserts that Cave Camp is the best yet. Mr. Schuppell Is agency supervisor of the Oregon IJfe Insurance com pany and has much to say regarding the most unusual forest tra3l from Caves Camp to the Caves and 'the Caves themselves. He has explored the famous Mammoth Cave but says it is nothing compared to the Oregon Caves and is astonished to know that Josephine county Is not canhlntf In on this scenic wonder. The party returned to Grants Pass with the exception of Miss Hawk'es and Miss Cornell, who are continu ing the camping trip through the week. 1918, they gave an old faahlonod spinning party at d rants iPasa. at the time of the rummii sale, to InOp raise money.

"WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY" The following notice appeared In the last Issue of the 'Red Cross Bul letin, issued at Seattle; and speaks highly of the efficient work of the Red Cross members ot this county: "Williams (branch found yarn for knitting hard to get, so they decid ed to make their own. They bought five fleeces, or 34',4 pounds Of Wool, and went to work. The wool was washed, dried, picked and carded.

Proceeding northward. Commis sioner Rooth and Engineer Ntinn ex amined the Swcton mountain sec tion.. Here is 7.6 miles of grading, to east $123,055. The present grade Is steep and the road winding. A new location has 'been made on the mountain side and the contractor. J. E. Hildeburn, has his ramps es tablished and the clearing has com menced. This will evidently be the lust sec tion of the Pacific highway to be paved. The grading will prohnhly j not be finished bforo next year, and the fills will h'ave to lay ovor a year , before the commission will order the ' section paved. j Between Wolf Creek and Crave ! creek. 4.9 miles contracted for pav-i Ing. the Warren Construction com-, pinjy. whose bid was $10!.52ft, has, rocked most of the distance and fully-' two miles are ready for the "hot j stuff" surface. On the entire high way this section Is one which will probably give the state highway com-! mission the most concern. The rea son for this is that the grade is nar-; row anil will le paved to the stand ard width. (As a result there is prac tically no room for shoulders on the outside curve and little less for shoulder on the Inside. ! Heavy traffic can .be expected to break down the edge In the future. The cost of making a fill to provide ! for two-foot shoulders would be i heavy. J Good progress Is being made on j the grading of Stage Road pass. The, old road through the pass, on the! south side, will lie abandoned and ', an entirely new grade established. The graders are now working at the ' very aiiex of the puss, this being1 hefcvy rock work. The distance is, but 2.5 miles, (but the job wlU cost $53,220. Joplln & Klilon have (his work. The road built by the state under . the direction of former Highway En-; glneer Bowlby, from the summit of the pass to Olendale, will be alian-' doned, the commission having hp- lented a direct route. This loaves J Olendale off the -'highway and save ; about three nilles. I Work is moving along on the sec tion from John's place to Jacquc's place, seven miles, grading, ana mn- cadam, for which Joplin & 'Eldon will receive $70,9;7. i From iCalesvllle to C&nyonvlllo the , highway runs through Oow CrenH canyon, a gorge iwhlch Is wild and J picturesque, abounding with gam'.! and part of a national forest, a!- though none of the trees seen from , the highway are Very valuable.
