of of 1 Two. THE EUGENE DAILY GUARD Thursday Evening, November 11, 1915 BRIGHTER CHILDREN Children are probably brighterto day than a generation ago -but are they stronger? That's a grave question. So many pinched faces, dulled eyes and languid feelings make us wonder if they will ever grow into robust, healthy men and women. If your children catch colds easily, are tired when studies' lack healthy color, or find difficult, give them Scott's Emulsion for one month to enrich their blood and restore the body-forces to healthy action. Scott's Emulsion is used in private schools.

It is not a "patent simply a highly concentrated oil -food, without alcohol or harmful drugs. It cannot harm; it improves blood, it benefits lungs and strengthens the system. Your druggist has it--refuse substitutes. Scott Bowne, Bloomfield, N. J.

15-21 Bank Methods Explained--THE CHECK: A check is a written order upon bank directing that certain amount of money be paid to the person mentioned therein, or to his order, or to bearer. Reasonable care should always be exercised in the use of the bank check. In the hands of an honest person, it is a great convenience, while in the bands of a forger, a check becomes a menace. Checks must be signed by the depositor or authorized Agent, and the signature must correspond with the name appearing on the ture card. A part of the name inay be printed or stamped when ft is agreed with the bank that such form of signature is to be used.

R. Knight, Agent. Eugene, Oregon. ACTOR TELLS OF PASSION PLAY Marie Mayer, Who Took Part of Magdalene, Lectures at University of Oregon. Marie Mayer, the little Bavarian woman who attained her life's ambition, when she was selected to play the part of the Magdalene in the Passion Play in 1910, brought the message of Oberammergau to Eugene Inst night with a leeture in Villard hail.

The lecture was under the auspices of the Association of benefit Collegiate of the Alumnae and was loan fund. the scholarship Miss Mayer told her story in a low, melodious voice, which bespoke years of careful training. She spoke briefly of her country, her people, their work, their life and their ambitions, all centering, she asserted, around the great religious drama enacted every ten years. The height of ambition of every child in Oberammergau, says Miss Mayer, is to be chosen to enact one of the principal characters in the sacred play. Stereopticon views of the village and the surrounding hills, showing the home of some of the lending actors, were upon the screen before the speaker entered upon the details of the play.

These were illustrated with a series of tableaux taken at the 1910 production. Miss Mayer states that report that Aanton Lang, who plays the part of Christus, had been killed in the trenches, is erroneous and that she has recently received letters from friends telling of his presence in Oberammergau. BEST FILM EVER SHOWN, IS CLAIM Savoy Manager Enthusiastic Over "My Old Dutch" That Produces Laughter and Sobs The most remarkable film ever brought Eugene is "My Old Dutch" shown at the Savoy theatre yesterday and today, according to the rating given by the themanager. This film that he claims atre, best has no thrilling railroad wreck. It has no exciting chase.

It has no lavish scenery or setting. It has none of the ear -marks of the so-called "big features" in the modern motion picture film. In fact it has but two characters of importance. And these are the whole film. The play starring Florence Turner and Albert Chevalier, is perhaps the most remarkable character play ever shown at that theatre.

It is lavishly simple--only the story of 40 years of life. It is a love story, but the marriage takes place with in the first sixty feet of film, after the shortest told, yet most complete romance in fildom. Here the story begins there is no plot--it is merely the picture of real life. Dramatic--the audience sits clinching its teeth to suppress its emotions. The laughter is the most wholesome ever inunched, and moment Inter there is not a breath of sound in the theatre, not even the click of the picture machine, it seems.

"Its the kind of A film that keeps the picture business alive," declared Mr. Perin, who sat spellbound through two of his own shows. "Its out of the ordinary run of pictures." The play is character picturization so real that the audience, almost lives through the forty life. It is moral play without a single example, not even the most minute suggestion of the bad. It is a story that creates thought, producing a satisfaction approaching enthusiasm.

The film is an unusual contrast to the exciting, but artificial thrill producers and comedies. DEMOLISH CALIFORNIA BUILDING (By The Associated Press) Seattle, Nov. has been begun of the California building at the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific exposition of 1909, a structure in mission style and much admired for its beauty when it was new.

early today destroyed a rope shop of the John A. Roeblings Sons company, causing A loss estimated at half a million dollars. Occupants of a row of frame houses near were compelled to flee in their night clothes. The rope mill was 100 feet wide and feet loug. The fire started in one end, and because of its inflammable construction, the entire building was soon in flames.

The taterior was open. The upper floors were of wood saturated with oil from machinery. Wire rope was being manufacturer in shop. There were rumors that the fire was incendiary due to the belief that the company was making war materials. Officials do not believe this.

Tells Unvarnished Truth (Continued from page one) German press, a view which is strengthened by the expressions of British newspapers. The Kreuz Zeitung expects, however, that Great Britain will not rebuff America 88 bruskly as British newspaper comment forecasts, but will adopt a policy of delay. The Taglische Pundschau declares that whil the note gives only words they are very clear and decisive words, which contrasted with what the American government has done hitherto, have almost effect of action. It thinks, however, that America has waited too long and adds: "London will be unwilling to believe that America now really is in deadly earnest with its claims and demands or that behind these earnest words stands a resolution for earnest action. Through his unlimited yieldingness Mr.

has used too much of his normal credit. It is doubtful, therefore, whether Britain will honor his demands. Nevertheless, his language leaves scarcely anything to be desired. He bluntly calls A British spade a spade and voices feelings of American merchants, manufacturers and shippers, who bave been injured by Great Britain's tyranny at sea. His complaints about systematic abolition all international law and all neutral rights are comprehensive, clearly outlined and stated with firmness." Says Wilson Is Tardy.

'The Reinische Westphalische Zeitung. says: "After all we have experienced from the United States since the war began we are no longer able to cherish the viction that the note sent to Great Britain in which the American government formulates and sharply emphasizes certain demand is seriously meant. A country like America which not only officially has shown the British the greatest good will, but which as an ammunition department for our enemies enables them to continue the war, cannot possibly hare any interest in taking a decided stand against its ally who undoubtedly has undertaken corresponding obligations for the future." Referring to President Wilson's discussion of the freedom of the seas, the paper says: "I Mr. Wilson really intended seriously to defend this freedom against lation by Great Britain and other countries he could have found opportunities enough since the war began. Instead of that, he has allowed unheard of violations of that freedom and left in the lurch neutral states which looked longingly to America for help." INDICTED MINERS RELEASED.
