When the peace treaty is called up in the. open session ‘of the senate next Monday, the “mild” reservationists are e}_cpected to agree with Senator Lodge on another change 9f Article 10. The latest substitute would bar the use of military or naval force, the economic boycott, “or any other means” to preserve territorial integrity or political independence of other nations in the league. The text of the substitute follows: . «The United States assume no obligation to preserve, by the use of its military or naval forces, or by the econo lc'_b‘oy- cott, or by any other means, the territorial i_ntegrity or pohthal .independence of any other country, or to interfere in contro- versies between nations, whether members of the :league or not, under the provisions of Article X, or to employ the military . or naval forces of the, United States under-any article of the treaty for any purpose, unless in any particalar case the con- gress, which under the constitution has th 3 declare war, shall by act or joint resolution so provide.” , " The. principal difference between the new proposal, and the original reservation is that the former undertakes to pro- hibit specifically every effectual means of preserving territorial integrity of political independence, without making any ...specifications. ' s : . : —_——— WOMEN CAN'T VOTE AT CITY ELECTIONS IN STATE. Minnesota women cannot vote lawfully at city and villag: elections March 9 throughout the state, under a ruling by ‘Attorney Gengra from numerous village clerks. .

And in the meantime, Minnesota women can yote only for presidential electors and in some cases for school je -officials. Another ruling fixed March 2 as the last day on which m candidates may file for village offices at coming elections. 0 POTATO NUMBER OF INSTITUTE ANNUAL OUT.

HERE'S “SOME SHOW!” After playing a variety of roles ranging from a member of the Salvi- tion Army to actor, Fatty Arbuckle has again come forward, this time in the ‘role of a fireman, in his latest Paramount, Arbuckle comedy, “The Gaarge,” which comes to the Elko theatre tomorrow and again shows Monday. As in all the Anbuckle comedies a well selected cast, led by Molly Malone and Buster Keaton supports the star. Many new comical offer- ings hitherto never attempted, are contained in this picture,’ and those who see the production will go away far from disappointed. e Does it pay to advertise? Bryant Washburn, Paramount-Artcraft star says it does.’ Mr. Washburn is at the Elko theatre tomorrow, matinee and evening, also on Monddy in a pic- turaization of the recent Broadwiy stage success, “It Pays to Advertise,” by Megrue and Hackett. He por- ‘trays the role of a young man who makes a fortune on advetrising by building up a trademark and then } NEWS OF THE THEATERS BIG MYSTERY GRAND— “TOMORBOW. All' of the Ynrills that lurk in the pages of “The Mystery of the Yellow Room’ have been caught -for the screen by Emil Chautard and will be shown at the Grand theatre .for three days beginning tomorrow (Sunday). It is ome of thoes novels by Gaston Leroux—the kinds that were bound in pale yellow paper and that keep you awake™ burning the midnight oil until 'you discovered who murdered the masked madman. Thrills of this sort ‘are a difficult thing to reproduce on the screen and most of the cerdit for’this excellent melocdrama is due to the direction otl Chautard, who, has Kept all the eerie; suspense of the novel. “The Mystery of the Yellow Room’ starts off dramaticaly with the scream of Mathilde Strangerson, beautiful = daughter ‘of the renowed scientist, as the criminal enters her room. Her fatlier and the gardener rush frantically to her door, only to find it barricaded from the inside. They rush to her window on the op- posite side of the house. The same gituation confronts them there, the windows . heavily barred. Yet the criminal escapes, and makes further entries into the.yellow room. It is safe to say that unless one has previously read the story they can- not solve this engaging problem. _The screen cannot have too many | pictures of this grade. selling it to his father, a millionaire soap manufacturer. The support is ‘excellent. DEEP UNDERSTANDING. : I Is there such a thing as carrying optimism to . excess? A noted psy- chologist -who saw “What Every Woman. Learns,” the picture attrac- tion starring Enid Bennett at the Elko theatre tonight, when the film was_shown in New York, remarked upon . the deep understanding of hu- man nature which Thomas H. Ince exhibited in producing it. “This picture iséa fine and true example of the . acy of the epi- curean philosophy:wf life,” said the professqr. ‘““The bélief that the pro- per way to live is for pleasure only and that the logical attitude is to regard everything as a joke, as the heroism in this story does, falls down absolutely when one is confronted with a great crisis and tragedy. A SCREAM IN THE NIGHT. «A Scream in the Night,” which is showing at the Grand for the last tiem tonight, bases a very entertain- ing story on Darwin’s theory of the ....origin of our beloved ancestors. '~ Events move swiftly from the time -that beautiful Darwa is seen flitting form the tree-tops ef jungles unttl « the grand finale, when a crazed scientist places her in a cage with a giant ape-killer. .

HOW GETS - “RATTLES” THAT, GIVE IT ITS NAME. —How old is a rattlesnake? It has always been a Source of sut- isfaction to; believe that a rat- tlésnake's age could, be deter- mined by its vattles, -The very shmplicity of the theory recom- mended it., What could be eas- fer? A rattlesnake got a new g on its rottle every year. Count the rings and you have its age: Now the sclentists come along and explode the theory. = taymond Lee Ditmars, ccura- tor of reptiles in the New York Zoological park, describes the development of the rattles as follows: | When a rattlesnake .Is born, it ts provided with a small but- ton at the tip of its tail. A few _montlis after birth it sheds its skin. In two months more it sheds its skin ‘a second time, and in so deing uncovers. the first ring or segment of the rat- tle -which has been developing under the epidermis. Therefore, every time it sheds.its skin gt uncovers a new segment. Under normal conditions, a. rattlesnake sheds 'its skin three times a year, but unusual climatic’ or food conditions may vary the number of molts. = The rattle is a very delicate organ.
