#° those folks who do not really care e in a man’s life to shape and dia ¢t it and bring success out of flat lure and happiness out of abject isery? i “That Something,” the sensational, .’hnman and novel photoplay. to. be shown at the Rex theater Friday an- s the question in its own title. ! But what “that something” is, it remains for the plot to divulge after six reels of intense and thrilling dra- ma have been projected. {"4That Something” was written by W. W. Woodbridge. The volume is alread yni its tenth edition and has treated a stir not equaled by any book of modern times—not since “The Message to Garcia’ was penned. “That Something” there is ' something appealing to all classes of theater-goers, screen enthusiasts, fllm fans and amusement seekers. There '§s a story of gripping, human inter- est; there are sensational episodes of spectacular power; there is romance % and there is the expression of death- " less mother-love. #BLACK SHEEP” AT THE REX THEATER LAST TIME TODAY Things begin to happen in the very first scene of “Black Sheep,” which operwd at the Rex theater last night for'a two-day run. Even before you are comfortably seated you will find yourself neck- i deep in interest in this dynamic drama | of one of the most unusual wars ever . staged in this or any other country. It'is a_picture based upon the war be- tween the cattlemen and the sheep- herders and..it was. no gentlemen’s . war either. The hotbed of these hostilities was 4 in Wyoming, the locale of this pic- . ture, and before it ended many lives . were lost and thousands of dollars worth of sheep and cattle destroyed. Neal Hart is the star of this pro- duction, which excels any of his pre- vious efforts both in histrionic and ¢ artistic effects. He is supported by an exceptionally clever cast, which makes this one of the best western productions ever shown at the Rex. VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES AT GRAND THEATER TONIGHT A five-part program offers enter- tainment of merit, at the Grand the- ater tonight. First is the photoplay of unusual feature length, starring Gladys Walton. Following are four . acts ‘of experienced vaudeville per- formers traveling to the western codst as “Show No. 188" on the Bert Levy circuit of vaudeville theaters. Allaire, the comedy juggler, per- forms in a manner that even interests foy such acts. Noble and Brooks pre- “gent “Fun at’ tHié Box Office,” & conr edy act with special drop, amusing “dialogue and songs. Runyan and Treat are the boys that “put the U in fun, and fun in U,” with their har- ‘mony singing and comic talk. The Three Marvellous Mells close the per- formance with physical culture poses, comedy ground athletics and -flying Spanish rings. They are known as America’s most renowned athletic en- ertainers. 'HE MAGIC CUP” AT THE ELKO THEATER TONIGHT There is romance a-plenty, some real tragedy, and an occasional bit of i comedy to be found in every pawn-| shop, if only the story of each loan and each parting with something held dear, could be learned. A romange of the pawnshop, which narrowly escaped becoming a tragedy, is that of “The Magic Cup,” the lat- est Constance Binney picture. The ‘ magic cup was an old silver goblet, the one and only heirloom of a little scullery maid at a New York hotel. Of course it leads her through many adventures to happiness and ro- mance. Constance Binney impersonates the girl, Vincent Coleman, as a newspaper reporter, has the leading male role, and Charles Mussett, J. H. Gilmour, Malcolm Bradley and Cecil Owen “have supporting roles. John S. Rob- ertson, who directed Miss Binney’s picture, “Erstwhile Susan,” and “39 East,” is again responsible for the production. “The Magic Cup” will be shown at the Elko theater tonight, also Fri- day matinee and evening. “BEATING THE GAME” AT GRAND THEATER TOMORROW More than any star on the screen today, Tom Moore, who plays the | Gives a brilliant glossy shine that does not rub oft or dust off—that anneals to the iron—that lasts four times as long as any other.

NEWS OF THE THEATRES leading role in the Goldwyn produc- tion of Charles Kenyon's comedy- drama, “Beating the Game,” which will be shown at the Grand theater tomorrow and Saturday, has been closely identified with American, types. His versatility is such that his chay- acterizations run all the way from the common street cleaner in “‘Hold Your Horses,” to the literary ‘man about town in “Toby’s Bow.” Between these limits, Tom Moore has played a policeman in “Officer 666, a fire- man in “Made in Heaven,” a pseudo- thiéf in “Stop Thief!” and now in “Beating the Game,” he is a reformed house-breaker, the greater part of whose career is that a politician who earns the nickname of “Honest Tom.” His latest picture has been directed by Victor Schertzinger, and his leaa- ing lady is Hazel Daly. DAMS WILL PREVENT FLOODS Catastrophe That Overwhelmed the City of Pueblo Can Be Avoided by Proper Action. A disastrous flood occurs, causing a loss of many human lives and mil- lions of dollars’ worth of property. ‘What happens next? What precautions are taken to prevent disaster? Usually what happens is that the suf- fering community courageously under- takes the task of reconstruction, The flood is called an “act of God,” and confidence is felt that there will be no repetition of the calamity. But the conditions that gave rise to the disaster continue to exist, and such being the case, there is no assurance that it will not repeat itself. If the catastropbe: that. werwhelmed the city of Pueblo.is not to be repeated, again and yet again perhaps, pre- ventive measures must be adopted. Dams must be built and reservolrs constructed at the headwaters of the Arkansas river to impound its floods. The government reclamation service peints out that floods not less destruc- tive might occur in any year on the Rio Grande if the waters of that stream were not held in leash by the great Elephant Butte dam, Before that dam, with its vast reservoir, wis constructed, flood time and again wreaked havoc in the vicinity of El Paso, The Elephant Butte dam Is one of the greatest engineering works on the globe. 1t Is 306 feet high, nearly one- third of a mile long, and creates the largest irrigation reservoir in the world —an artlficial lake covering 63 square miles and averaging 70 feet in depth, The water contained in the reservoir would cover the whole state of Con- necticut to a depth of ten inches.

It sounds impossible,fbut it can be done,, ‘says A writer fn London Tit- Bits., d The £5 does not include traveling expenses, for these vary according to starting point, route and so on. If a modest hotel is chosen the charge is about 20 francs a night. The tourist should adopt the French habit of having rolls and coffee for breakfast and this should cost him about 60 centimes-a day. Luncheon should be taken at one of the numer- ous cheap restaurants, where it can be obtained for 5 or 6 francs. It should be noted that there is a small charge for cloth, plates, ete, Two francs is ample for tea and the eve- ning meal should be similar to lunch- eon. The correct time for it is be- tween 6:45 and 8:30. Sundry fares should not amount to more than 15 francs. Altogether. it should cost 185 francs for food, lodging and sundry fares. There are about 230 francs in £5, and so there remain 45 francs for sight- seeing and extras, ‘This should be am- ple, for many of the most interesting places in Paris, such as the Bois de Boulogne, the boulevards, the world- famed picture galleries and Notre Dame, that can be seen for nothing. MR. IOHNSON. FINDS WALLET Indianapolis Attorney Wakes Up When He Hears/Gleeful Giggles From Weeds on Roadside. Emsley W. Johnson, attorney, was taking a spin in his car on a country road southegst of Indianapolis the other evening when, “approaching a little town, ‘he: saw a large, plump, leather 'purse - lying. between the wheel tracks, Mr. Johnson thrilled with tke ancient pleasure of discov- ery. He stopped the car and climbed out, wondering silently who had dropped the wallet, and how many green or yellow crinky ones were in it. He looked around as he alighted, and saw that the roadway was walled on either side with a pigmy forest of fronweeds, ragweeds, horseweeds and fimpson, forming a jungle that crowded in as if to close ‘the highway. Walking back to the spot where the purse had been, the attorney rubbed his eyes. No purse was there; instead, there was a wide welt in the dust as it some oblect had been dragged dfagonally across the right-of-way. The same moment a broadside of gleeful glggles burst from the weed jungle, left and right. Mr. Johnson did not pause. He did not even speak. He smiled slightly as he clambered into hi} autoniobile.

It is nearly one hundred years since the Silesian peasant I Nitz rein- troduced the curative use of cold. One of his procedures was to immerse the back of his head fn a shallow vessel of cold water: We know now that external cold is a powerful stimulant to the nerve cen- ters at the base of the brain, which govern the heart and breathing and regulation of body heat. In hot sum- mers heat is insidiously piled up in the tissues, and sometimes thermal debility passes on to thermal fever or “heat stroke.” Anybody may prove for himself the refreshing coolness produced by bath- ing the nape of the neck and the spine and the inner side of the arms with ice-cold water.
