RULER OF THE ROAD
 IS ON FOX'S SCREEN

"Ruler of the Road" is Frank keonan's own picture-his character study. His portrayal of Simeon let low, railroad president, driver of men. who finally breaks down under the strain of his exorbitant supply of energy is a powerful and effective piece of acting from first to last. MT. Keenan always appears at his best in a screen drama of this type, the contrasts of which enable him to dis play his unusual abilities to extraor- dinary advantage.
 TOmorroW's feature at FoX's is Theda Bara in a modernized version of Alexander Dumas great romance ''The Clemenceau Case" in which she is supported by an all-star cast in- cluding Stuart Holmes and Jane Lee of the Lee kids. Critics have pro- claimed Miss Bara's rendition of the vampire liza" even greater than that in "A Fool There Was" Her pys- chOlOgy in portraying vampires is not to make them weak women, accord ing to the popular conception of such types, but rather to endoW them with crafty minds and vast vitality, which slumbers under cover of lan- guOr only to express itself in over- mastering terms at time of crises. There, it is that men, softened to her uses, do her deeds, and sacrifice all, torn from all moorings of sanity, deadened to all sense Of honor in & desire to please her and bask in her favor.

What Real Link Is There the "Othcr

MT. Graham wished me to present his excuses to you for not appearing at the tea table, said the "other Mrs Graham" as she pressed another cup of tea upon me, but he really isn't well enough yet to sec people. As soon as he is better he will thank you in person for those lovely posies you sent him while he was in the hospi- tal."
 I loved the word "posies" on her lips. 1t was in keeping with the quaint, old-fashioncd charm of this woman, whose face was like a clois- tered nuns in it's peacefuIness, but whose manner was as sprightly as d girls.
 "I shall be so glad to meet him." I returned primly, and hated myself because I could not be moro spontan- eOusly friendly in my manner. Tho truth was, however, that the little service pin at Mrs. Graham's throat fascinated me. | was so lost in the bizarre theories l had evolved at the first sight of it that I found it hard work to keep my share of the tea table conversation coherent

MADAME WHO APPEALS
 TO LYCEUM PATRONS

One of the best pictures ever pro- duced is at the Lyceum today and tomorrow. This is Madam Who" starring charming Bessie Barriscale. The story is not a war story, but the scenes arc laid in the South during the period of the Civil War. All of the beauties and romance of the Southland have been faithfully ad- hered to in a faithful and his his tOric manner and the production is one that is bound to be an epic-marIl- ing achievement in the brilliant ca recr of this talented artist. One of the big scenes in this picture is dur ing the fall of Richmond, when the city is bcsieged by Whiskey- crazed negroes and rCnegadeS of the VileSt type. During the turmoil she is at tackled by Il half drunken brute and the struggle scene which follows on a staircase is one of the most power fully gripping portrayals that the screen has shown. This is a. picture that will appeal to every man, woman and child and no one should fail to See it. The vaudeville is good. There is Carrie Lillic, a clever comedtcnne, McNally and Ashton, a man and woman in a novelty offering. On the same program is The Son of De mOcracN" and the Screen Telegram Thursday brings Pauline Stark in "The Man Who Woke Up" This is a splendid feature. Wm. $.

 -"Exquisite," I said admiringly, and, indeed, tho trinkct deserved the ad- icctive My lips refused to form a. question concerning il, but the 'Oth- CT Mrs. Graham must have seen the one in my eyes, for she answered as promptly as if my query had been g, spoken one.
 "Yes, my only son Hugh is a cap tain in the army" she said and there was a glow on her face, a light in her eyes that showed what pride was hers in her absent son.
 l pretended to choke over my tea. It was the only subterfuge 1 could think of to keep from betraying my agitation. For I was sure that my wild, fantastic theories had been moro than justified, that the wound ed officer whom l knew as Capt. Hugh Grantland was in reality Capt. Hugh Graham.
 Curiously enough my first emotion after the shock of the confirmation of my theory was one of hot anger, not only against my wounded officer, but his mother. Both l considered had de- CGIVGU me greatly. w Hat IlSuI ItCu the wounded officer not only to give d false name, but to convey the inn prossion that he had no home, when such a mother and haven as this were waiting for him?

 And I was also sure that my host eSs knew of her sons presence in the hospital and of his rescue of me. l remembered her sharpness of tone when I mentioned the hospital, and her lame excuse afterWard. She was lowering above me now like a motherly bird.
 You poor child!' she said, hitting my shoulders in the time-hOnOred manner for removing the cause of choking "There, that's better. Drink this now" and she held a, glass of water to my lips.
 I swallowed the draught resent Fully, although, of course, per mitted my hostess no inkling of my feeling. My pride had come to my rescue, and it enabled me to say steadily as I leaned back in my chair:
 Please pardon my awkWardness. 1 I'm so subject to these choking i spells You were speaking of your son. How proud you must be Of l him!"

=QI= Meat Must Be Sold
 Fresh meat is perishable. 1t
 must be sold within about two
 weeks for whatever it will bring
 A certain amount of beef is frozen for foreign shipment, but domestic markets demand fresh, chilled, unfrozen beef
 Swift & Company cannot 1n- crease prices by withholding meat, because 1t will not keep fresh and salable for more than few days after 1t reaches the market.
 Swift & Company cannot tell at the time of purchasing cattle, what price fresh meat will bring when put on sale If between purchase and sale market cond1- tions change, the price of meat must also change.
 The Food Administration limits our profit to per cent on capital invested in the meat departments This is about 2 cents per dollar of sales No profit is guaranteed, and the risk of loss is not eliminated.
 As matter of fact, meat is often sold at loss because of the need of selling it before it spells.

ECONOMIC HELP
 COUNTS GREATLY

Verona, Italy, June 26.-That Am erica's economic help to Europe is beginning to count is shown by the fact that coal has become relatively less scarce again after @ long period of stringency and railway trains are again able to run sharply on time on the trunk lines across northern Italy. This is a most favorable turn of the scales on product vital to Italian transportation and industry.
 Producing no coal at home, Italy's S stock in the past has been drawn from England and France, but with the French and Belgian coal fields in- vaded by the enemy, and the difficult ties of transportation, coal has been soaring steadily until it was practi- caIly out of use for domestic purpos- es, and all the wheels of industry and transportation were slackened. Rail- ways have felt the stTingency severe ly, with trains delayed from lack of fuel. All this has been materially inn proved of late British and French coal has been the main source of re- lief, under the general plan of mutual distribution among the allies, but the large contribution of American coal to the general stock in Europe, has materially helped to solve the coal problem on this side and start the wheels going regularly again.

FISTIC HISTORY

Nine years ago today, June 26, 1909, Dick Hyland knocked out Leach Cross in the 41st round at Colma, Cal This, was the first time since his preliminary days that the Jewish lightweight was put to sleep, and the process was not repeated un- til February, 1916, when Milburn Saylor of Indianapolis knocked out the dentist fighter in the fifth round of a bout in Cincinnati. That defeat decided Leach to quit the game, and he returned to his dental chair; and was engaged in the cloak and suit business as side line. The Hyland- Cross battle at Colma was the only long contest of the Hebrew dentist s career, and in it he demonstrated that he was game to the core. Cross fought powerfully against one of the best long distance fighters of the l lightweight division and kept it uI for more than two hours before he | finally succumbed. The bout was the hardest of Leach's long career. Cros: | is the only latter-day pugilist o1 | prominence who is real college | graduate with a bona fide degree While he was always willing to make money. it can be said for him tha
 he also always fought on the square
 and Snever figured in any crooked
