Laugh? You’ll roar! Never has the Oasis theatre presented a more hilarious comedy than "Out All Night," the gay Universal farce which plays Sunday and Monday with a matinee Sunday. This, as the saying has It, is the sort of a picture that will have the audience "rolling in the aisles” from sheer merriment. Slim Summerville and Zasu Pitts, the screen’s funniest team, are starred in this side-splitting com edy gem, in parts that were just made for them, and the action finds them, as a pair of bashful newly- weds. embarking on an eventful trip to America's honeymoon centre, Niagara Falls. Their experiences would make the Sphinx break into loud giggles. The cast supporting Summerville and Miss Pitts In "Out All Night" includes Shirley Grey, Alexander Carr. Laura Hope Crewe, Rollo Lloyd and George Hackathorn, and the picture was directed by Sam About 31,000 fires in New York City last year took a toll of 122 Taylor.

Applications Must Now Be Signed By Notary Public; Examiners’ Schedule May be Obtained. Three hundred thousand Oregon motorists must obtain renewal dri vers' licenses before September 1, the first day on which the law re quires every motor vehicle operator to have a new-type permit, accord ing to Hal E. Hoss, secretary of state. This great number, approximate ly three-quarters of the drivers in the state, may occasion a rush for permits such as swamped examina tion stations during the last few days preceding June 9, when the motor vehicle laws raised the cost of permits from 50c to $i. “In the short time from May 1, up to and including June 8, 75,384 persons were examined." Mr. Hoss declared. "The magnitude of this task may be seen by a comparison with the 22 month period between July 7, 1931, and May 1. 1933, when only 21,816 drivers were examined. On June 8, this year 6000 persons were given examinations, with applicants in some localities being taken care of until midnight. Such a congested condition will recurr in the weeks just preceding September 1," the secretary of state pointed out, “un- Ises drivers arrange immediately for renewals." Authority has been given by the legislature to waive examination of renewal applicants, except for those 70 years of age and older, or when, because of obvious physical impair ments or a questionable driving record there is reason to believe that an applicant may not be quali fied to operate a car in a safe man ner. Holders of new-type drivers' licenses and renewals issued since July 1, 1931, need not renew their permits until June 30, 1935, regard less of the expiration date they bear. In order to obtain a renewal per mit, Mr. Hoss warned, it will not be sufficient merely to mail a dollar. The applicant must obtain the regu lation application form either by mail from the secretary of state's office In Salem, or from state police, county sheriffs, or examiners. This must be filled out and signed before a notary public or one of the offi cial examiners, all of whom have notaries’ commissions, or other per sons qualified to administer oaths. State examiners will affix the no tary seal free of charge. An examiner may be located by referring to the printed schedules which may be secured from the secretary of state's office, state po lice, or sheriffs. vtih wen ‘ ‘ Y. vs an" I : 24 ( < T eo ' ------------ ■ - TIMELY WARNING ISSUED BY STATE FIRE MARSHALL. Salem, Ore., June 27 (Special)— State Fire Marshal A. H. Averill again issues a timely warning to all those who participate in the "old- fashioned Fourth of July celebra tion" in order that the memory of the 1933 observante will be a happy one and not one marred by the death or suffering of dear ones who are oftentimes the innocent victims of the carelessness and thoughtless-' ness of others. The state fire marshal seeks the cooperation of parents particularly in the proper supervision and pro tection of their children while en gaged in the use of fireworks. The records of his department disclose that the unrestricted use of fireworks is directly responsible for serious personal injury. property damage, and even death, and it be hooves all law-abiding citizens to use every precaution to lower this hazard. It Is found that communi ties ‘restricting the use of fireworks by private citizens and providing for a public display of fireworks under the supervision of experts have lowered to a substantial degree the injuries and losses to persons and property, and where there are no restrictions placed on the use of fireworks and firecrackers, an ap peal is made to the individual citi zens, upon whose shoulders this re sponsibility Is directly placed, to safeguard against serious destruc tion and thereby make the day a happy one. NORTHWESTERN VETCH SEED RECEIVES HIGHEST RATING. Highest recommendation for the vetch seed produced in the Pacific Northwest as compared with that from other sections of the country has been given in a public state ment by Rowland McKee, specialist In forage crops with the United States department of agriculture, according to word received by the farm crops department at Oregon State college. Hairy vetch In particular from this section has been going to the southern states to be used for green manure crops. Observation of re sults there and elsewhere led to the high rating given northwestern seed. Such a short crop of vetch is in prospect this year because of the unusual winter, that many are ad vocating that Oregon growers re tain practically all of It for replant ing for seed purposes in this state, with a view of meeting the in creased prospective demand likely to follow acreage reduction of sur plus crops, particularly cotton. Because of the shortage of this year's crop, heavier importation of seed from foreign countries have al ready been started, making It high ly desirable that Oregon growers be sure of getting home-grown seed for next year's crops. Some fields in the Willamette valley which earlier appeared to be a total loss have since recovered and will produce a fair crop, according to reports, hence there should be enough Ore gon seed to meet the needs of seed growers in this state. Sample of plantings from every imported lot of hairy vetch seed are made at the Oregon Experiment sta tion. The widest variation is noted In quality among these lots. About half of them froze out completely last winter, while others were un injured and produced excellent crops. The smooth type of "hairy" vetch has been found the most hardy as well as being superior in other ways, says Harry Schoth, federal agronomist at Corvallis. This type now known as smooth vetch, is the type most in demand in the south ern states. The seed of It is not dis tinguishable from the ordinary hairy vetch. Attend W.C.T.U. Convention.
