Such is the delightfully whimsy situation at the opening of “What Women Love,” a First National At- traction and Annette Kellerman’s lat- est modern comedy drama which be- gan last night at the Rex theater. The story was produced by Sol Lesser from a story by Richard Me- Conville, written especially for the diving venus. “What Women Love” is a rare com- bination of breath-catching drama and delightful humor. . In some of the marvelous underwater scenes VMiss Kellerman excells her previous world’s records for underwater swim- ming and accomplishes a remarkable dive of 150 feet from the mast of a pitching schooner in midocean. Supporting Miss nellerman in “Wihat Women Love” are to be seen such favorites of the silversheet as Wheeler Oakman, Walter Long, notoriously unbeautiful - Bull Mon- tana. The story was directed by Nate Watt, formerly directorial associate of Lois Weber. It will continue at the Rex theatre last times today. “CRIMSON SHOALS” AT ..

Ford is seen in the multiple character of son, father and grandfather. The picture con- tains superb photographic effects, rnusnal exteriors laid in the Cat- ilina Islands and in the fast mov- ing melodrama fashioned after Ford's serial style of picture making. The cast contains Pete Gerald, Edna Em- erson, Edward Werne, Martha Dean and supernumeraries to the extent of several hundred. The production was| photographed by Fred G. Hartman' and directed by the star of “The My-| stery of 13" from the scenario writ- ten by Elsie Van Name. | “MADAM PEACOCK” AT | REX THEATRE SUNDAY In “Madame Peacock”, the picture she herself has declared her greatest | since “Revelation,” Nazimova will! appear before local motion picture audiences at the Rex theater com- mencing Sunday.

In such a climate plant growth is stimulated by aJmost continyous sunshine, there is rio night chilling of the soil following cloudy days, and crops are harvested | promptly without spoilage by rain, the | products being greatly improved and | the harvesting cost lessened. The! chief advantage of all, however, is| control of the water, which by arti- ficial irrigation can be supplied at the ¢ Dest time and in the quantities needed by the crops. The scant rainfall of | the Columbia basin area has been a | , preparation for the new method, for the moisture has not been sufficlent tu | lench away the stored plantfood, but | there has been drainage enough to prevent the ‘dccumulation of alkali salts, the most soluble of the earth’s constituents. “ THE PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS Files that Stand the Gaff Tt’s_ worth’ somethipg to know) that your files can stand abuse— and they can,‘f if_they’re Allsteel., In addition to its rigid* strength of construction,?Alléteel : office furniture is handsome and highly efficient.
