"The Spark Divine" which comes
on Sunday and Monday; Harry
Morey in Beauty Proof" at the the
atre Tuesday and William S. Hart
in Wagon Tracks" scheduled for
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Beauty Proof" is a film story
by James Oliver Curwood. the
greatest of all American writers of
the northwest. 1t tells the tale of a
mans pursuit through the wilds of
northwestern Canada by a mem
Der of that heroic band of law up
holders, the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police. Mr.. Morey is in the
leading role. In ordinary roles
Harry Morey is a good actor and in
roles of this nature, he becomes
doubly good. In fact the picture
which was shown in Davenport a
week or so ago, scored one of the
biggest hits of the season and will
be brought back at the request of
patrons. 1t is full of red blooded in
cidents of the far north which will
make the blood Jingle with excite
ment and anticipation.

wagon Tracks" This is the story
of Buckskin Hamilton, son of the
desert, who happens to get into a
card game in which Donald Wash

accusation follows and the picture
following this action presents some
of the most exciting incidents ever
given to the motion picture public
The struggle with the william over
the card game starts the action and
what follows is certain to make a
most entertaining and gripping pho

picture also and the excitement

SARCASTIC MAN
SAYS DAVENPORT
SHOULD BE NAME

Evidently it's getting under the
skin and hurting Rock Islanders.
The fact that in Rock Island peo-
pie are forced to pay cents for a
street car ride while in Davenport,
where the Tri-City Railway COM
pany operates at considerably less
profit, the folks trolley travel at
a nickel a throw, is painful on this
side of the river.
Take for instance this one irate
Rock Islander, who called The Ar
gus by telephone this morning:
I'D like to suggest a name for
that ship of ours" he said. why
not name it The Davenport"
I'VE keep everything else in Dav-
export up, so why not be consistent
about it?" he queTied, sarcastically,
They didn't get any boats, so they
ought to have one of ours"

AT the RiaItO.

AT the RialtO.
June ElVidge, the famous and
immensely popular motion picture
star, will be seen today at Brot-
mans Rialto theatre in The Love
Defender" her latest World Pic
ture. THE Love Defender" is a
particularly delightful picture. 1t
has human interest, sentiment,
thrills and everything else that
goes to make an exceptional screen
production. Maravene Thompson
wrote the story. Frank Mayo plays
opposite Miss Elvidge.
THE Love Defender" is a story
Of true love and of the manner in
which a young wife retains the
love of her husband.
Appearing with Miss Elvidge and
Mr.. Mayo is charming little Madge
Evans who has a big part and a
pleasing part in this new produc-
ton.
If you saw THE wildcat of
Paris" you must see 'NThe Wicked
Darling which will come to the
Rialto theatre on Sunday. Pris-
ella Dean, the wonderful actress
who played the title role of that
other Universal special attraction,
is the star of this latest one, and
the role she has to play is just
as interesting as the queen of the
Paris Apaches, who becomes a
Joan of Arc to save Paris. In
1.-THE Wicked Darling" Priscilla
plays a girl who had about the
same standing before the law in
New York City as Collette had in
Paris. Only lady thieves in New
York do not resort to the knife
and the "caress of death" They
have to depend on their arts and
their quickness.
The story was written by Evelyn
Campbell, and the cast includes a
wonderful trio of names: Lon
CLANCY, Spottiswood Aitken and
Wellington Playter. There is also

SCOUTS BREAK
CAMP AGAINST
) THEIR WISHES
Five Awards Given at Last Camp
Fire of Present Cutters at
Winnie TaskA
BY SAM r. RYERSON, JR-

OAlM IksSONs
The days at Camp Winnie Taska
have passed altogether too fast to
suit the boy scouts.
As this is the last night in camp
il was very pleasant, but a little
sad, since Chief Bergquist and the
leaders all hate to lose the boys as
they have been very obedient and
studious while here. At the camp
fire the honor emblems were pre-
scented. Every boy received one.
1t showed that each has worked
and not thought only Of play, as
every boy had 10 get 80 out of a
possible 100 points.
Awards Presented.
Five other medals were present
ed: to the boy who showed the best
camp spirit, another to the scout
who was the best all around ath-
lete, the third to the boy who was
1ost proficient in first aid, the
to the boy who made the
most progress in signaling, and the
last for the best progress in swim
ming. The names. of the five in or
der are as follows: Eugene Stone,
troop one, camp spirit; William
Gibson, troop 10, athlete; Marvin
Bullard, troop IL, first aid; Harold
Grigby, troop Is, signaling; Fetch
er Fifer, troop Eve, swimming. Har-
old Anderson won a beautiful pic

was christened Winnie Taska by
Red Fox in 1917. this being pre-
scented by j. F. Witter.
Also the Tri-City Photo company
g. Il V1ri2
which all the boys are anxious to
win. The first is a handsome med
al, the second a dandy camera, and
the third another beautiful medal.
After speeches from the executive
Nthe boys gave their opinions of the
camp and the leaders each made a
few remarks to the boys about how
to keep on advancing and that what
advantage there is in being a Boy
Scout. The rest of the evening was
spent in songs and music furnish
ed by Louis Klein, the assistant
cook.
We have had some varied expert
ences during the last few days. One
of the enjoyable ones was the visit
of the Rotarians' on Tuesday. They
arrived at about $50 and after an
inspection of the camp sat down to
a delicious supper. After supper a
ball game was played between the
Rotary club and the scouts of which
the former team was the victor.
After the game all gathered around
a large camp fire where Mr.. Pat
terson gave a few remarks, telling
of the appreciation of the Rotary.
club of the entertainment by the
scouts. Later a boxing bout was
staged in an arena that had been
erected especially for that pur-
pose.
Wednesday it rained all after
noon, at which time the boys fin
ished tests for emblems and those
who did not take tests took advan-
tage of the weather outdoors and
stayed in for a fine sleep. Thurs
day afternoon camp Winnie Taska
played Taylor Ridge, defeating
them in a game of baseball with
score of &c to 4.
All the boys hate to leave camp,
but as 80 have already signed up
Mere can only be few of the pres
ent campers. who can stay. The
next lot of campers will come in on
Tuesday, Aug. -, and stay until
the following Tuesday, Aug. 10. 1t
is expected that the next scouts
will have as much fun as the boys

London, April 15-The fact
that only young men capable OF
passing severe physical tests We're
accepted for aviation work dur

that flying as a sport will be bar
red to persons past the prime OF
youth. That is mistake, ac-
cording to British experts, who
say that for ordinary peace-time
flying there should be 10 age linn
H. The only qualifications they,
set are good eyesight and a sound
heart.
Flying an airplane, it is point
ed out, is much simpler, and far
less nerve-rack king than drivine 9
an automobile or sailing yacht
ANY man who has lived a decent
open air life, especially il he ha>
PLAYED games and hunted, will
find that learning to fly, even al
the age Of fifty, is quite an easy
business. experts say. A modern
airplane will virtually fly itself
and the. controls are so arranged

Washington, April l3.-Briga-
