AT THE ELKO

Theodore Roberts will be seen as
the star in 1.-THE American Consul"
which will be the Paramount attrac-
ton at the Elko theater tonight. In
this production Mr.. Roberts plays the
role of small town patriot-one of
these inspired individuals who loves
to wave the American flag and de-
liver spatriotic speeches.
The picture has strong patriotic
appeal in addition to big dramatic
story, because the scenes are set in a
mythical Latin-American country in
which the American representative
battles against all sorts of treachery
and cowardice, finally triumphfng
through the assistance of United
States marines.

As result of the study made by
the experts 1t was found that military
instruction, of the exact nature and to
the same extent as that given to sol
diers is not found in the schools Of
any country Of Europe except the spe-
cial military schools. Such training Is
confined everywhere to the period of
active service, and no attempt has
ever been made to impose upon the
school the task Of producing fully
trained soldiers. In many countries
having universal military service the
public schools provide for training boys
In such elements of military science
as may be conveniently combined with
their physical training and at the
same time prepare them for the active
service awaiting every young man.
The attitude Of foreign educators, 1t
was found, Is well defined on this mat
ter. They do not, as rule, regard
the military instruction as success
full substitute for the well established
systems Of physical training and char
acter building. They generally view 1t
as an anomaly in the school system,
justified only by the exigencies of ma.
tlonal defense. The enthusiastic sup
port they lend to this work comes more
from patriotic rather than from peda-
gogic motives, according to those ex-
perts who have just completed this
study. Occasionally, however, the ben
efclal effects of military training up
on the moral and physical sides of
boys education are emphasized. Very
marked results of this nature have
been observed In Australia.
Not Physical Training.
In France, where military training
Is component part of the prescribed
program Of public primary schools, 1t
is not approved by leading educators

Magnesite from Greece

Over 69,S0O tons of magnesite were
exported from Athens in 1916, COM
pared with 1920 tons in 1915. The
value of the 1916 exports is given as
s1,161 ,000 against value Of S293,6o0
for the exports in 1915. The increased
demand for the Greek mineral that has
been noted is not due to its superior
quality, but to the impossibility Of i'm
porting magnesite from Austria. Until
the commencement of the war Austria
Hungary furnished nearly all the world
with dead-burnt magnesite for lining
steel furnaces, but through the closing
of Austrian ports purchasers Of this
article have been obliged to turn 20
Greece for their supplies. Caustic cal
cined magnesite is manufactured into
magnesium cements, plaster for fire.
proof partitions, steam packings, mill
stones and polishing wheels. Mag
uesium cements are used in making
dust-proof floors, imitation marble
wainscoting, etc. MaGnesite in its dead
burnt condition is for the manufacture
of freproof bricks used in the smelling
industry by the basic process) for I'm
ing steel furnaces. When It Is considered
that in the last few years the produc-
ton Of steel furnaces have played
such an important role in warfare,
