TOM MIX AT THE REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY | Tom Mix, the Fox daredevil of the screen, is coming to the Rex theatcr {new Cosmopolitan Production.

You see, Tom: has dona probab- 1y bigger thrillers on the range when he was a cowboy and,when no.one was watching him than he ever has/ put on the screen. i He has written himself into all kinds of mischievous trouble in “A Ridin’ Romeo.” Everybody but his sweetheart is crying him down, un- til they find he hasn’t done half the things charged against him, and no- thing really criminal. " Then, ctowd-, 1ike, everybody turns out to cheer. for| ‘him, This Mix picture, produced by Fox is declared to be most palatable en- tertainment. «MADE IN HEAVEN” SHO'S TOMORROW AND SUNDAY Tom wrote | “Humoresque,” it «cludes many players who are popular in' their/own right, among them being Casson "Ferguson, who plays “The Kid,” Spottiswoode Aiken, Hal ‘Wil- son, William Quinn, joe Neary, Au- gustus Phillips, Bert Frank, Mathilde Brundage, Jessie Pratt, Edith Stayart and ‘others. Mesdames Riggs and Sanborn will play the musical program at the Elko tonight. A further attraction is the ititled “You'll' Be 8’prised.” | “HELIOTROPE” AT ELKO _SUNDAY AND MONDAY The principal attraction at the Elko theater for two days commenc- ing Sunday will be ‘‘Heliotrope,” a Like its popular predecessor, ‘‘Humores- que,” this Is a ‘stirring, story of a parent’s love of a child. | But while mother _loce, is the primal motif in is‘the sacrifice made by a father to insure his daugh- ter's happimess that makes. the: chief | appeal in, “Heliotrope.” | The story, written by Richard Washburn Child, centers around a conviet, who is knmown to his pals as Heliotrope Harry, due to his fond- ness for that plant and its perfume. ‘Helotrope’s lovely daughter, Alice, has never known her father and mo- ther. The latter is an unscrupulous woman with a greed for gold.

The problems which will confront be harder than the mathematical puz- zle of finding the line of intersection of two planes in space, or the enigma of the factors of the wheel and axle mystery which confronted him in his napolis classroom, Your correspondent knows some- | thing of ‘John W.

At that time his naime was set down on the publi¢ slate;as that ofj the man who certainly was. to be sees retary of the navy in case Mr. Hi ding were elected. I knew then that Weeks did not want the navy post, and I felt that he would not take it if it were Offered. I knew, however, that he did want the treasury, and I also knew that 'he had every reason to believe that he was to get it, but he did not get it,.and now he is to enter the doorway, of the war oftice. Before saying anything definite about 'some of the problems which are to confront Captalin Weeks as secre- tary of war, ‘It nay not be uninter- esting to tell why he did not want to take the nayy office, for which he, by training, is eminently:fitted, He grad- -uated from ‘the United States Naval [ academy in the ‘clase of 1881.

So it is that he has tpken a- shore berth in a place perception of existing “personal con- ditlons” in the war department today. The war brought varicus disagreeable things as its companions, and while the war is gome, it has left its com- panjons quartered, temporarily at least, in the rooms of the War dejfart- ment. These matters have been dis: cussed before to some extent, but pur. posely the virulence of personal feel- ing as between factions in the depart- ment has not been dwelt upon. At the root of the whole thing are the «harges of favoritism andpromotion, and of the denial to officers. of com- wanding ‘ability places to;which they were sald to be entltled, and. the sub- stitution for them: of men of ‘inferior rank and of perhaps less distinguished service. ) Cungress today has held.up the con- firmution of twenty-five or thirty, or perlups more, ofticers who ‘were com- missioned as brigadier generals. Mosk of these officers were given promotion over the Leads of senmiors of the serv- ice, and the charge of course is that faveritism is responsible.
