Dovothy Gish does in her latest screen comedy, “Remodeling Her Husband” which is on the. bill at the Elko thc- ater for a return showing Wednes- day only. . Friend Husband was an innocent youth, but he had a weakness for pretty feminine faces. Which is why he got himself into a mess with the good-looking manicure lady and the girl with the black bag. ~After his bride, tearful and heart-broken went hame to mother, he came to with a thud. But when it came to repenting and forgiving, he found her like adamant. And he was forced to desperate meas- ures in order to melt her hardened heart.

It is a picture that has made a de- cided semsation wherever . produced as the subject is an intermingling of youthful folly with that of the dan- gers resulting from six indiscretion. Of this unusual offering, Mabel S, Worcester, Hostess, Franklin Square House of Boston, Mass., had this to say upon reviewing the B who i1s more or less responsible for the welfare of eight hundred youn women, I wish everyone might se “Open Your Eyes.” “As the ~mother of a son anl daughter just coming into young manhood and womanhood, who have been carefully reared and instruct- ed concerning the things which de- stroy, I shall insist that both my chil- dren sce the film.

In her own way, the girl manages to marry the innocent young mars. But he has a past! And this complicates the mat- ter.

Thé dramatic critic of the Los Angeles Herald, in reviewing a legi- | timate production in which May Col- lins, the leading woman in the Gold- wyn production of ‘““All's Fair in Love,” had a part, had this to say about the young woman who has! heen reported as the future Mrs.| Charlie Chablin: H “She has the. innocence of Mary| Pickford, the winsomeness of Mabe!| Normand, the vivncitif of Eva Tan-| guay—the Eva of twelve years ago— and bobbed hair just as the magazine | cover girls wear it.

At six o'cleck in the moruing I was starting for a swim in a British Guiana jungle when, at the foot of the luboratory steps I saw a swiftly mov- ing, broad line of army ants on safari, passing through the compound to the heach. 1 traced them back under the servants’ quarfers, through two clumps of bamboos, to an outhouse. | Later, I followed along the column down to the river sand, through u dense mass of underbrash, through a hollow log, up the hank, back through light jungle—to the outhouse again; and on a large fallen log, a few feet beyond the spot where their nest had been, the ends of the circle ally enme together, It was the astonishing thing, and [ had to vey it again and again before I could be- lieve the evidence of my eyes.

Bill Dale sat thinking of what he had dope there in the Big Pine coun- try. From the stone-and-clay chim- neys of the cabins of the Littlefords on the other side of the river the howling wind snatched sprays of blue wood- The Morelands had gone to farms lying around Cartersville-in the lowland, on each of which a fair-sized first payment had been made. the bor- rowed capital was to remain borrowed for another year. The Morelands were already losing their outlandishness and growing into umiversal respect. David Moreland’s dream was at last being realized. Then Dale frowned heavily. If only he could do as much for Babe's pe ple! But he couldn’t. The men of the Littlefords still worked the coal min They received alimost twice the custom- ary wages, but even that wouldn’t buy them farms and educate their children. Under his eyes lay two unanswered letters from his parents. He found little pleasure in answering their let- ters, for he was still somewhat bitter toward them—toward his father be- cause of his father's ill treatment of David Moreland and David Moreland’s people; toward his mother beeaus had let him go hungry for mothe! as a baby, as a child, as a bo; and as a man; toward them both because he had been reared a do-nothing. The door opened suddenly, and By Ieck came stamping in with a gust of cold air at his back. He carried io one hand the mail satchel ; in the other was his ever-present rifie. After throw- Ing the satchel to the floor at Dale's feet, he turned to the glowing wood stove. p “I'm dang nigh’friz, Bill” he chat- tered. “My gosh, I couldn’t be no cold- ern what T em ef I'd ha’ clin’ the nawth pole neck-ed. Say, Bill, y'n't ve burn coal 'sNd o' wood? Igod, it's hotter.” “Coal is worth money. Wood isn't.” Dale ran through the wail hastily. He threw le a letter from the Alex- ander Crayfield Coal corporation, which 1gok the entire output of the mine at an extraordinary figure, and picked up a letter which bore the postmark of his home city. It.was from Babe Littleford. *Since lie paid so little attention to the letters of his parents, they had requested her to write to him—they wanted bim to come home for Christmas dinner. Wouldn't he come? He arose and paced the oflice floor for two or three minutes, then he sat down at his desk and dashed off a let- ter that contained only two sentences. By Heck sat beside the stove and watched his god with thoughtful eyes. He understood, he believed. Iow any woman on earth could turn down A/ mau like Bill Dale was utterly beyond him. By Heck was a great deal like & good-natured dog. . . . It Bill would only laugh, it would be good for him. 1t had heen so long since he had heard Bill laugh. DBy Heck de- cided that he would make Bill Dale Taugh. “0ld hoy?" “wWellr? “Do ye weat me to tell ye a funny fale?” drawled Heck. He harely heard the answer: “T guess I don’t mind, By." Heck's sympathy made him gulp. But he swallowed the lump that came up in his throat and began bravely: “One time the’ was a feller named Smith. Odd name, Bill, ain’t it? ‘Hoss- 1y’ Smith, they called him, 'cause it was safd 'at he could easy shoot & hossfly offen a hoss's ear and never break hide on the animile. He was a hellion, too.

So he iops right up in the middle ¢’ the meet- ', and he hollers out and say he says, ‘I want to be the permanent chairman! T ain’t a-goin’ to act in the cap-acity of a durned temp'rary chairman; I abse- d—n-lutely ain't!” “His old inemy, Eb Wright, he vells back and says smart-like: ‘Set down that, Hossfly,’ says Eb—'you're drunk, and you don't know the difference a- tween temp'rary and permanent!’ “Well, they knowed Eb had it #- comin’ to him right then, and they lis- tened fo' it. Hossfly, he addresses the whole meetin’, and this here is what Hossfly says: Feller citizens, says he, ‘Bb Wright thar 'lows I don’t know the dif- ference atween temp’rary and perma- nent.

It has hecome a part of the history ot this state.” “Well, my gosh!” moaned By Heck. He thought deeply for a moment, de- cided that Bill Dale wouldn't laugh at the story of Tom Jones’' pig—which had drank all of a gallon-pail of but- termilk and then gone to sleep in the self-same pail—and went on: “Here's one, by Jake, 'at ain’t been told on dozens o’ politics men.

Here’s the nearly perpetual sunshine ‘record for Gunnison for the last 10 years as compiled by Howland: The sun shone every day in 1912, Every day except Dec. 4, in 1912.

SHOULD BE WELL LAID OUT Importance of Proper Planning of Town’s Future Is a Matter Too Apt to Be Overlooked. Speaking at the session of the con- ference, the Rev. Howard 8. Childley of Winchester pointed out that town planning is an ancient art, applied by the Romans in England and exc lently instanced by the planning of the town common at Oxford. Englaud, In its application, he sald, Furopean cities and towns are far' ahead of the United States and American cities and towns show today of what value plan- ning would have been at their incep- tion. To obtain this development now, Doctor Childley urged, education of the community to the economic value of the work, and then the enlistment of individual interest in co-operation must be attained. As the representative of {he Com- monwealth, Mr. Young declared that, despite eight years of encouragement by law, the need of town and eity planning is not widely enough realized. He asserted that the time has come for the state to provide more appro- priation for this work aud to aid in creating public interest. Poiuting to the development of municipal forests abroad, he urged the importance of such reservations to a community with the lapse of a half century.
