1.-THE
Silver King"
A Paramount-Artcraft Special

After holding the stage in Eng
land and this country for more than
thirty years, "The Silver King" the
famous melodrama of English life,
has been picturized with William
Faversham in the stellar role, and
owing to the inelemency of the
weather last night, this special pic
ture will be held over for another
day and shown at the Sugg again
tonight. THE Silver King" deals
with the adventures of Wilfred Den
yer, an English country squire, who
is ruined by a supposed friend Geof-
frey Ware, in revenge for cutting
him out in his affection Of beautiful
girl whom Denver marries. Ware
induces Denver to bet all he owned
upon a Derby race, the result be-
ing that he is Impoverished. When
Denver hears Ware gloating over
the success of his scheme, he goes
to the latters house at night with
the intention of killing him, but
Ware is slain, instead by the leader
of a band of robbers Denver is
suspected of the crime, but he
evades arrest by fleeing to this
country and he amasses a fortune
in a western mining camp. His
wife and friends, as we'll as the po-
lice, believe him to have been killed
in a railway accident and when he
reappears in England under an as
sumed name exciting events ensue.
Denver's innocence of murder is es-
tablished and he is reunited with
his family. Mr.. Fayersham is sup
ported by Barbara Castelton who |
plays opposite to him; Warburton
John Sunderland and other |
we'll known actors are also in the |
east which is exceptionally efficient !

MANY KILLED In
COMMUNIST RIOTS
STAGED IN BUDAPEST

PARIS. Feb. 25.-An attack was

suit that many persons were killed,
according 10 advlces reaching here.
A storm of bullets issued from the
houses opposite, whereupon national
guards and police opened fire with
machine guns, rifles and pistols.
1t is officially stated that 81 per-
sons were killed, but eye-witnesses
declare they counted from 50 to 60
dead in the streets. Fifteen com
munists we're taken to the hospitals
in dying condition.

UNSKILLED LABOR
FIRST TO REALIZE
EFFECT SLACK TIMES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-"At the
present time when surplus of la.
Dor is appearing in the country,
what chance has a disabled man in
competition with uninjured men?"
today asked DR.. c. A. Prosser. di-
rector of the federal board for vo-
cational education
Figures show that the percentage
of unemployed is greatest among
unskilled labor at the present time.
That is thoroughly indicative. 1t
shows just what is to be expected
in normal tines. The man who has
nothing but his strength to offer
in the labor market is always the
first to feel the pinch of retrench-
ment
Suppose he has lost that
strength and does not have anything
to take it's place? This is precisely
the condition facing many a dis
abled soldier, sailor or marine right
now. If these men will allow us,
we will give them skill in some par
ticular trade to take the place of
the lost strength. By using that
skill man will be able to earn
great deal more than when he was
selling only crude strength. He will
be in demand; will have employ
ment when those not skilled in
any way are walking the streets
looking for work.
"If these war disabled men will
write the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education at Washington, it
will be immensely to their advan- !
Lage. We will support them with an
allowance of $65 per month while

START CAMP PAECN
ON TUBERCULOSIS

SALTWATER, Okla, Feb. 25-
Stock breeders throughout the State
and particularly men interested in
handling pure bred cattle, are begin
ming to interest themselves in the
question of eliminating tuberculosis
from the dairy and pure bred herds
in the state. One great reason for
this work is the very close connec.
ton between tuberculosis in cattle
and tuberculosis in the human fam
lily. The other great reason is the
purely economic side of the ques-
ton. 1t does not pay to either raise
or own tuberculosis cattle
The state and federal authorities
are now cooperating in an effort to
eradicate tuberculosis from the
state To establish an accredited
herd the owner of the cattle must
agree to give his assistance and CO.
operation to the project. This con-
sists in observing certain rules and
precautions regarding new pur-
chases and the disposal of any tu-
bercular stock. The herd. if it
passes two yearly tests, or three
semi-yearly tests without reacting
animals, is pronounced a tubercu-
lar-free or an accredited herd.
Any one who has vision If what
the cattle and dairy business may
become in Oklahoma will understand
the necessity for having healthy
stock. To secure this
every breeder should give active
and willing cooperation to the plan
of eradicating tuberculosis from the
cattle that are in the state, and to
continue interest in this work suffi-
ciently to prevent diseased stock
from being shipped here from other

HERE'S NEW TRADE
THAT'S WELL PAID

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.--One de
velopment Of the war is the open
ing Of a brand new and wen paid
skilled occupation-that of oxy-
acetylene welding. This, and the
general handling of the wonderful
oxy-acetylene torch in other lines,
afford opportunities for many men
disabled by war The course is one
of the most popular among the 400
trades occupations and callings of
fered as free education to discharg-
ed disabled soldiers, sailors, and
marines. Competent handlers of the
oxy-acetylene torch are readily hired
at good wages by railway shops, cleo
tric street railways, in shipyards, in
the automobile industry and in re-
pair garages, for gas, sewer and wa
ter pipe work, in sheet metal work
and in metal furniture making, in
foundries and general machine re-
pair shops.
The oxy-acetylene flame is one of
the real wonders of the century.
Germans smashed the machinery Of
their ships interned in this country,
they thought the vessels had been
put hopelessly out OF commission
and rendered Of no use to the Unit
ed States Mainly by use OF some
skilled oxy-aceylene workers, splin-
tered and shattered machinery was
soon repaired, and the former Ger
man vessels have been rendering
valiant service carrying men and
munitions to France, and in bringing
back our returning soldiers.
Men training as oxy-acetylene |

SUPERMEN ARE BUSY
FIXING YANKS SHOES
By United Press.

By United Press
COBLENz, Feb. 2.-(By Mail)-
From fighting American soldiers in
the Argonne to voluntarily repairing
shoes for these same Americans is a
long jump. Several score discharged
German soldiers have made it.
In their withdrawal from the
Rhine the German army left behind
about $4,000 pounds of shoe leather,
and large quantity of shoe machin-
cry. Maj. Lewis Landes of the sal
wage department conceived the idea
of using the leather and machinery
to repair the footgear of the troops
in the occupied area, thereby saving
the shipping space necessary to ship
the shoes to France and back again.
So he set up big repair shop with
about 100 German employees hired in
Coblenz. About half of these are de-
modified soldiers who were glad to
get work, even at repairing the shoes
of their enemies.
