KIDDIESAN OUTING
Mothers and Youngsters of Tri- Cities
Enjoy Free Ride as Guests of
JitbuS Drivers Union.

Riddles and mothers of the tri-cities
were guests of the jitbus men this
morning on an auto trip through Rock
Island, Davenport, Moline, East Moline
and Silvis. Fifty cars were in line
when the procession went through the
streets of Rock Island. The parade
formed at the court house square, pro-
ceeding east along Second avenue to
Twentieth, then north to Third avenue
and east to the bridge and over to Dav-
export From there the route was
through Rock Island again TO Moline,
through East Moline and to Silvis and
back.
The parade was headed by a band
in an auto truck. Many of the cars
were prettily decorated. Every ma
chine was damned with youngsters
and all were having the time of their
lives. The outing. which was arranged
by the Tri-City Chauffeurs' union, was
free to all. 1t gave many of the poorer
Riddles an opportunity for an auto
ride, something they seldom get. Last
year the jitbus men entertained with
a picnic and dance at Prospect park in
Moline
A committee composed of N E. Mum
son, deputy probate clerk, and Jacob
Wigers. deputy sheriff, appointed to
award prizes for the best decorated
automobiles in the parade made the
following selections: first, Sam MoskO-
witt, car 55; second, David De Smet,
car u; third, J. Hudachek, car IS.

need FOR MEN IS
CRY ON ALL SIDES
EVERYBODY Who Wants Job in Rock
Island County is Busy and Labor
ers Are at Premium.
WORK FOR PLENTY MORE HERE
Many Projects Are Being Held Up
Because Hands Cannot Be Found,
Even For High Wages.

Common laborers not now employed
are as scarce as hens teeth in Rock
Island. Public improvement projects,
extension work by public utilities
companies and private construction
work is being held up as result.
Double tracking to Sears is being
delayed because we cannot get labor
ers," John G. Huntoon, general man
ager of the Tri-City Railway company,
said.
why. we even cannot get men
enough to do urgent work. We are
offering half a dollar a day more for
common laborers than we did in the
past We have been paying 50, but
now we are offering $3.50, and we
can't get them even at that price. I'm
til we can get men enough the project
of double tracking to Sears Will be
put of"
City officials are worried over the
labor situation. 1t is hard to secure
enough men to do the simplest kind
of unskilIed labor. The city pays $40
a day
The Twelfth street paving project,
one of the biggest improvements OF
its kind ever undertaken here, is just
barely advancing from day to day.
The Mccarthy Improvement company,
which has the contract, says 1t is IN
able to do any more than it is doing.
1t declares it needs more men, but
cannot get them.
Other Work Delayed.
Other public improvements in Rock
Island are being held up for the same
reason. Private plants need labor
ers The arsenal needs them. The
government engineers corps needs
them. all lines of business needs them,
but every man who wants to work in
Rock Island is employed. Common
labor is at a premium and there never
was a time when better wages were
paid.

visited the home of the bride-to-be in
the early afternoon, and it was at his
suggestion that the picnic was helGz
The three took bathing suits with
them. When they failed to return to
the home an investigation which re
vealed the tragedy was made.

MISS TURNER II HER
 BEST IN "REDEEMED'
POPULAR ACTRESS PORTRAITS THE ROLE OF A YOUNG
 ITALIAN GIRL.

Florence Turner, one of Mutuals most versatile actresses. who is most strikingly successful in emotional roles finds a splendid opportunity for display of her genius in the new five act drama. Redeemed" recently fin ished, and will be shown at the New Royal today.
 The production is an expensive one, with an all star cast The principal support of Miss Turner in the piece is Tom Powers, an actor of wide reputa- tion. Miss Turner finds her best medium in interpreting the role of Marea, young Italian beauty, who is deliberately thrown to the wolves in London by her evil disposed rela- tive Roma Sano, an Italian actress who has become famous in the Lon don theaters and who was cared for in childhood c~Marea's parents
 The play is extraordinarily spec tacular. In the scene which depicts the destruction of the Adelphi theater by fire, there is panic that is de elared by experts to be the most real istie thing of its kind ever dope. ln this Tartidular incident. where the crowd in the theater is shown trying to escape a fiery death, Miss Turner's acting is SO remarkable as to convey the impression that she is actually caught in the flames and killed.
 Tom Powers, as Harry SOmers. Mareas betrayer. gives fascinating exhibition of refined yillainy The CO stars have worked together in several plays and their work is of the consist ent kind that results in artistic ef- fleets. The play is full of thrills rom beginning to end

one of those to fall victim to the unerring aim of feudist's gun.
 When Bernard McConyille decided to embrace the Allen feud into a modern story for the Triangle Fine Arts screen. he remembered the brave figure of the old judge who so calmly pronounced sentence with death star ing him in the face.
 In McConville's story Children of the Feud,' Judge Lee Cayanaugh in a dramatic climax looks straight be- fore him and in the very words of Judge Massey says. The Law knows no fear,'
 McConville's sympathy for Judge Massey has saused him to create in the character of Judge Cayanaugh of Children of the Feud' an exception l. ally strong and powerful personality. II is doubtful if any more dramatic climax has even been portrayed on
 the screen than the courtroom scene, in which Judge Cavanaugh enacts his splendid role.
 The part is played by F. A. Turner, whose understanding Of the role Of the brave old judge has brought tears to the eyes of those who have watch ed his work on the sets at the Fri angle-Fine Arts studios

IDlTAROD ROAD ALLOTMENT
 INCREASED BY COMMISSION

While the road work being done under the direction of the Alaska road commission i'll the Iditarod district is not at all extensive, there seems to be desire on the part of the authorities to at least keep the proposl ton in mind. It is hardly likely that the meager sums appropriated for work in this district will more than cover the cost of temporary work, and 1t is necessary to keep reminding the commission of the needs of the district. J. c. Jenkins in charge of the road work, has had force of men at work on the road between 1ditarod and Flat for some time, and having about exhausted the allotment, an urgent appeal for more funds was sent to Colonel Richardson It was urged by Commissioner Geraghty Tn hls communication to the commission that the work of graveling the road should be con tinued especially on the Iditarod end
 Telegrams were received on Saturday last from the commission stating that the eX penditure of an additional S1,000 for the Iditarod roads had been authorized. Under no circumstances was this amount to be exceeded, as no additional allotment would be made.
 Colonel Richardson stated that he regret ted that the board was unable to allot larger sum to Iditarod, but the demands from all parts of the territory were so nu- merous that the board could not meet them. The present policy of the board was to concentrate work on certain projects and complete them, instead of having the whole of the funds dissipated in small allotments.
 'It is to be hoped that the appropriations will continue, so that we may be able to build substantial roads for your district the colonel concludes And the people here abouts will cordially indorse the expression
 The allotments for road work for this dis trict this year have now reached total of S4 400
