FAMOUS STAGE PLAY 0 NCINEMA SCREEN “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram,” which has amused thousands as a stage farce, has been made into a rollick- ing screen comedy and will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and to- morrow, with Bryant Washburn in the leading role. The story centers around inoffen- explain his absence to his waiting and ternativve of choosing between Bark- er and the wicked crowd of men who happiness even after she,has sold her- self in marriage to Jim Blood, a de- spised outcast mjiner, known to his associates as the. Cur, is told in an sive Jack Temple, who is by accident locked out all night with a designing “vamp’” and invents a wild yarn to jealous wife. Mrs. Temple sends a telegram to confirm the alibi. A hil- arious mess of young husbands, wives and Italian manicurists follows, which is finally untangled satisfac- torily. Pretty Wanda Hawely is the lead- ing woman, and the cast includes such favorites as Walter Hiers, Car- men Phillips, and Sylvia Ashton. James Cruze directed, and Elmer Har- ris adapted the story from the origin- n'l by Frank Wyatt and William Mor- ris. An interesting Paramount maga- zine and Holmes Travelogue are also on the Elko program tonight and to- morrow. REX—FRIDAY AND SATURDAY The first Jewel Production feature- ing Dorothy Phillips since that mem- orable photodrama, ‘Destiny,” will be seen at the Rex theatre Friday and Saturday. The new picture has been entitled “Paid in Advance,” and is a story of the fur region of Canada and the Klondike, during the mad gold-rush to the Yukon. Allen J. Holubar, who was also director dur- ing the production, adapted to screen purposes a notable story by James Oliver Curwood, which tells of the struggle of Joan Gray, depicted by Miss Phillips, to stay straight after she has been lured to Dawson City, in the Yukon, by Gold Dust Barker, keeper of a Klondike saloon gambling hell. and Upon Joan is forced the bitter al- infest the place. How Joan finds enthralling series of dramatic scenes and situations. The picture is re- plete in scenery of the northwest, and the spectator will be the richer in a knowledge of people and customs during the gold-rush days after he has seen ‘““Paid in Advance.” Several players stand out promin- ently in the production by reason of their admirable playing. This is to be expected however, in a cast com- posed of persons who are stars in their own right. Among them is Priscilla Dean, who is cast as Maria, a handsome, jealous half-breed. Wil- liam Stowell, who played the leading male part in “Destiny,” and *‘The Heart of Humanity,” plays opposite Miss Phillips, in the part of Jim Blood, the Cur. The scenery itself is of a nature that will make a lasting impression on the motion picture devotee. Among the situations which are char- acteristic of the rough lite of the region and period is Joan’s dilem- ma, caused by the unholy desires of two Canadians, one a half-breed. The great struggle of her life, however, comes when she has to make her choice between the “crowd” and Gold Dust Barker. e —————————————— BRING THEIR OWN WELCOME Robin and Dandelion Loved by Chil- dren Throughout the World, and Eagerly Looked For, ' Someone has said that the dandelion 18 pre-eminently the children’s flower, for it grows all over the world and is known and loved by the little ones of every nation. The robin holds the same place in the affection of the chil- dren of this country, his arrival in the spring being engerly looked for by them. And yet -a charming woman asked recently while listening to a song sparrow and a white throat, “Does a robin sing, too?" Think of all she has lost—at dawn, at twilight and in the summer showers! Poor city dweller. And that reminds me of an incident in a railroad yard In Michigan. A palr of robins built their nest in a freight car, and just as the brood was hatched the order came to send the car on to Chicago. The yardmen, after consul- tation, telegraphed the situation to headquarters, and the order came In- stantly back to sidetrack the car till the bables were able to leave the nest. The men at both ends of the line were country boys, without doubt. Our own particular robins are back in full feather, fat, red and saucy as ever. We miss the one who always hopped Instead of running, on ‘account of some injury in his youth, and who was here every summer for four years. —Chicago Daily News. Poor Father. Marlan is eleven years old and thinks that she is old enough to stop having her hair bobbed and let it grow out and be braided as do the other lit- tle girls in her.class. But her moth- er has different ideas. So, of course, there is an argument every time_hair cutting time arrives. Last time moth- er brought forth a new argument. “I want your hair to be pretty and thick when you grow up,” she sald, “and there is nothing which makes your hair grow better than to cut it often.” Marian’s eyes opened wide. “Then why don’t you begin it on father?” she sald. “He says himself that he is get- ting bald.” Identifying the Nickel. James evidently had a buffalo nickel of the first vintage, for he was having trouble with central. In reply to his “T did drop a nickel,” central demand- ed, “Well, what kind of a nickel are you trying to use? “I dunno what kind it is,” he replied, “but it's got a little bull on it.” I . * Y Watching Life of Plants. From fuller Information, now at hand in regard to thé machine by ald of which the Indlan scientist, Sir J. C. Bose, has been making visible in London the ingrowth of plants, shows that he does much more than make visible what everybody already knew— that plants Increase In size. He also has srevealed that the growth of a plant is by no means steady or con- tinuous—that it is affected by many of the Influences besides mere nutriment that affect the growth of animals. In short, this machine, which is called a crescograph and magnifies movement a million times, proves that plants are much more alive than it is customary to credit them with being, and it is not an altogether fanciful notion that when the facts in relation to plant life become better known, gomedflm; of consideration for their “‘feelings” and something of compunction about treating them cruelly may develop. WAILING PLACE OF JEWS The famous “walling place of the Jews” in Jerusalem is here seen under strange conditions. For many cen- turies the Jews have been accustomed on Friday afternoons and festival days to bewall the desolation of the temple, but on the Friday on which the pic ture was taken the Jews were kept within doors by a great blizzard.

This bill seeks to make what is now the bu- reau of education in the department of the interior a department of the government itself, with administrative functions and a secretary the same as any other department. The bureau of education gathers information :showing: the -condition and progress of education and has . been of great help in giving advice to state, county and municipal offi- clals respecting the administration and improvement of schools. It can- not Interfere directly with state operations, nor could a national department if created. But the bureau has not hesitated to call public attention to un- satisfactory conditions whenever criticism was desirable in the interest of the children, and thus it possesses a power of great value for the public good. It has direct charge of the education of the native children of Alaska. and promotes home gardening under school direction and increased food produce tion. But because it is a bureau, one of many of a great department, the women assert that it has not the influence which the importance of its work justifies. It is looked upon as a minor branch of the government, whereas, because of the value of education to the people as a whole, it is claimed it should be on an equality with other affairs of not greater moment to the nation. To it could be transferred the educational activities which exist te some extent in both the army and navy, and especially the children’s bureau, which now functions under the department of labor. Incidentally, if a woman is ever to have a seat in the cabinet, a departs ment of education seems to be her best chance. Gasoline Cannot Re Relied On to Fill Demand—Alcohol the Coming Power. Mineral ofls vary very much in thelr makeup. Those of Mexico are particu- 1arly rich in the heavier ingredients, and are therefore excellently adapted for use as fuel. The lighter oils yield more kerosene and gasoline. : ¢ The prospect of gasoline supply of- fers some reason for anxiety. It has been increased enormously within the last ten years, but the growth of the output has been only one-third as great as the growth of the automobile industry. There are onw 7,500,000 au- tomobiles in the United States; by the end of the present year there will be Nothing is more certain than that the supply of gasoline will not keep pace with the increasing demand.=.

An- other fuel available (if carburetors and cylinders are redesigned) 1is flcohol, which can be obtained in' unlimited quantities from molasses, unmarket- able potatoes, and all sorts of vege- table wastes. High Speed Steel Without Tungeten. A new high speed steel of British origin is without tungsten in its com- position and advantages of both a practical and economical nature are claimed. It Is cobalt-molybdenum steel, the cobalt apparently acting as a stabilizer and as correcting certain dissdavantages sald to exist in molyb- denuin-tungsten steels. ' The new steel is claimed to possess the highest point of efficlency ever obtained. The hard- ening temperature required is only in the neighborhood of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The steel is also reported to machine exceptionally soft and eas- fly. The specific gravity of como steel is reported to be equal to that of the old carbon tool steel, and so 10 per cent less than that of the tungsten high-speed steels.’ As a result it is estimated that a given weight of como steel will produce 10 per cent more tools than the same weight of regular high-speed steel.

A senior of Technical high schoo! who prides herself on her contempt for rouge and lip sticks went to the photographer’s. Several class mates helped themselves to & liberal sup- ply of “paint” just before posing, thinking the pictures would be better. Finally, they persuaded the senior to try it just for the one time. No one would ever be the wiser. Hesitating- 1y, she applied the crimson puff and the oily crimson stick and dashed into the studio for the final pose. Half an hour later she was on the car speeding homeward when she hap- pened to glance at the woman across the aisle. That woman’s complexion, she thought was past forgiveness. How could some people bear to use that stuff and .continue to appear in public! Well, one thing was certain —nobody would ever see her rivaling an October sunset. Then horrors!
