At the Theatres

Just Squaw," the gripping West
ern drama, starring Beatriz Michel
ena, Is story of life in the prim.
itiyc,-rcd blood and sinew-in
which the elemental primordial pas
siOns Of real men strive for mastery.
IT stirs the emotions profoundly,
gripping by its virility and thrilling
by It's tremendous climaxes. There
have been many big screen fights,
and among them the death grapple
of Snake lie Gal and half-breed In
dian, the Breed, ranks as one of the
most exciting and realistic ever put
in the films.
Andrew Robson, who plays lie Gal
and Albert Morrison, the Half-Breed,
are both giants in stature, and when
they come to grips in the little cabin,
the little shack is all but wrecked
during the struggle. The rough and
tumble fight lasts for seven minutes
without interruption, and there is
action every moment.
Both Robson and Morrison were
covered with blood at the finish of
the fight, and were stiff and sore for
days after putting on the scene.

Cross Country Convoy
Molnentous Movement,
Says Kissel Co. Head
By G. a. KISsEL.
President. Kissel Motor Car Comnanv.

Never has "a more momentous
movement been started that Will de-
velop hitherto unhcard of and un-
dreamed of service potentiaItties OF
the motor truck than that OF the first
army motor truck train that Is now
on the first transcontfnentsl trip, from
Washington to San Francisco.
"In fact, 1 predict that the conclu-
sion of this FIRST. trip will be sig
nal for the opening up OF a new
adaptabilityl Of the motor truck tosthe
nations transportation requirements.
"As Secretary or War Baker has
truthfully said, this is the beginning
OF new era" and while no doubt
he had reference to the possibilities
OF transcontinentai trucking from a
military standpoint, he could have.
with equal truth, said il from com
mercial point of view.
The ability OF the motor truck to
make efficiently long-distance- trips
on a definite schedule was proven so
often in the great world war, cuinf-
mating in the magnificent burst OF
glory that saved Paris by rushing
troops to Chateau Thierry, that 1 have
often wondered why American manu-
Iacturers and Industrial leaders have
not before this duplicated the per-
formance here in this country.
Many a manufacturer has had n
Chateau Thierry to reach m the
rushing of needed goods and supplies
which railroads were incompetent to
handle: There have been a scarcity Of
necessities. and supplies needed in
parts OF the country to en-
able other industries to do their
manufacturing or to the aid Of COM
munities who suffered from the tie
up OF the railroads in their localities.

True, there have been very sue
