BY U.S. (Continued irom Page One) The statement In the above dis patch, intimating the exact where abouts of Solinsky are unknown, will be puzzling to his many friends In Medford, lor during the past few days several Medford people have been In communication with Mr. and Mrs. Solinsky by letter and phone, They are at present living with rela tives In Berkeley, Cal.. and only Mon day of this week Informed Medford friends that they had heard noth officially of the reported legal action and were at a loss to explain the rumors and printed reports emanat-1 ing from this city. From the start a great deal of rr.ys- i tery has surrounded the case, which will no doubt be cleared up when the case comes to trial. It is known that a lare number of officials and employes in the Crater Lake park5 service will be called upon to tes tify, while Mr. Sollnsky's defense will be handled by a well known Medford attorney. While superintendent of Crater Lake park, Al Solinsky made many friends in the city, where his family was prominent and popular socially The first news of hts discharge be cause of alleged irregularities In hts department, came as a shock and complete surprise to the entire com munity. What Is believed to have been a plan to rob the state liquor store was forestalled by the presence of state and city police here last Saturday night, It was learned today. Manager Foy, of the liquor com mission, stated that two suspicious looking men. drvlng a car with a I California license, had been giving I the store a careful scrutiny for over; a week, and on Wednesday a promi nent Medford business man, whoso name was not divulged, overheard the men laying plans for the hold-up. Manager Foy was notified, and he gave the information to city police. City and state officers In uniform were present during the evening rush, and stayed to escort the money mes senger to the bank at closing time. No trouble was encountered and the Incident was thought closed. How ever, on Monday night the liquor store at Eugene was robbed, accord ing to unofficial reports in Medford. although It was impossible to learn any details here today. It la believed that when the men learned of the close suurvelllnnce of the Medford store, they drove north and committed the robbery at the northern city. Local police refused to make any statements today. Had the robbery not been foiled by vigilant police, a large amount of monev might have oeen tasen, in asmuch as the store took In $1,800 Saturday, the largest amount taken on any one day up to that date Monday. Christmas eve, the store did the greatest volume of business since It was opened taking in over $2,500. It is anticipated that on Sat urday of this week and Monday next, these two record days, will be equal ed if not surpassed. According to the local store em ployes there was more whiskey sold than any other variety or liquor, "with rum a close second and gin good third. The entire supply of rum, which la used in the evidently popu lar "Tom-and -Jerries" was sold. I:. order to supply the New Years de- mand, 350 cases of liquor are to be delivered tomorrow, they said. The liquor store will remain open until ten on Saturday night, but will be closed promptly at eight on Mon day. New Year's eve, It was announc ed. .

Tracy does a masterful portrayal of the sportsman wha is the main character in the drama. Alice Paye, as the "other woman." and Helen Twelvetrees as the wife are both splendid.

There were tears very close to the laughter that it evoked; there was pulse stirring, nerve tingling qual ity to Its thrilling scenes and gor geous spectacles; it had a plot that rivaled those of serious dramas, ana never has a happier combination of youth, talent, music, suspense and beauty been brought to the sceen than In "Flirtation Walk." the first military musical ever filmed. The audience that filled the Cra terian theater at the local premiere of this greater and better musical last night, did not hesitate to show its appreciation, even though Dick Powell, Ruby Keler and Pat O'Brien could not hear Its applause. There are two spectacular dance numbers. One is the first screen re production of an Hawaiian luau. 01 "Feast of Love," in which scores of native Hawaiian dancers and music ians participate. The other was filmed st Wpst Point's historic "Flirtation Walk," in which additional scores of the most beautiful girls in Hollywood are seen. Another enchanting West Point spectacle presents the traditional "Hundredth Night Play" of the acad emy, and the June graduation cere monies r worked into the plot tu well as scenes on the parade grounds, the famous promenade "Flirtation Walk," from which the picture taea Its title, and the Kissing Rock where no maiden dare deny her lover. These scenes were all taken at the academy under the supervision of the war department. Powell sings throe catchy songs in the West Point spectacle, written especially for the production. ty. Miss Carlton eald the association is now working hard to reduce this death rate. When asked whether there were more oases this year than during the previous year, M tss C ar 1 ton sa 1 d , "Yes, but there wer efewer deaths resulting from tuberculosis in the past year because of the efforts of the association In teaching early i diagnosis. The fact that doctors now ; report oases more quickly also tends to put more oases on record." Miss Carlton said It Is encouraging to feel that the story of the Christ mas seal campaign is spreading with united effort, and said that she la pleased with the returns of the seal money this year. Several hundred dollars worth of seals more than were sold during 1033 have been sold dur ing 1934, but the quota has not yet been reaohed, Miss Carlton said. She urgea all to whom letters were sent in November to make a return as soon as possible. The fund Is still short several hundred dollars of the amount need ed In carrying on the Increased ac tivities of the association planned for 1935," Miss Carlton said. The association will send postcards soon to those who have not veturned either the seals or remittance for them, as a reminder that one or the other will help the workers to know definitely what the 1935 budget will be. As early replies save the health as sociation time, energy and money. Miss Carlton hopes everyone will con tinue the cooperation that has been rendered in the past. the New Year's eve dance, they will be sold to outsiders, beginning Sun I day. Scott ssld that although at least 200 Elks and their guests are planning on attending the dnnce, It Is neces sary that members make reservations or get tickets immediately. A letter recently received from sta tion KSL, Portland, reveals that Merle Carlson and his orchestra. which have been secured for the dance, are the most popular group of entertainers yet to broadcast over the station. The Elks club will provide two Baldwin grand pianos for the dance. loaned through the courtesy of the Baldwin Piano Shoppe. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR RENT Heated sleeping room; close In. ,328 So. Ivy.
