Union Jack7 This curious term. which
10 the only name by which we know
the British flag, has been the subject
Of much surmise; hut so unique Is Its
history that you would never guess 1t
in thousand years!
In ancient times every English SOL

"jacque" or surtout lover ally, which
was a garment Of padded leather: In

upon the breast the crimson cross OF
St. George. When the soldiers had
occasion to board ship their Jacques
were placed next each other along the
bulwarks Of the ship in the same way
that the Romans arranged their
shields on board their galleys.
The jacques SO afforded the men pro-
lection against the arrows OF their
adversaries on the water, and by their
device upon the outer side proclaimed
the nationality Of the ship. Excepting
the kings own ship, which flew the
royal arms on silken sail, the jacques
bore the only indication Of the nation
atty Of vessel.
In the course Of time, when the
Jacques were not longer needed along
the bulwarks, a solitary jacQue was
probably displayed at the bowsprit'
and so the name "Jack" came. into use
for the flag that superseded it.
In 1901 the three kingdoms Of Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland were for
mally united and the British nag
made a combination Of the cross OF
St. George for England, of st. Andrew
for Scotland and Of st. Patrick for Ire
land. 1t was this union which made
the British flag the "Union Jack"

REX FEATURE TONIGHT.

Fast logical action, a clean story
and fcrceful concluding punch are
the outstanding features OF 'Ihe
Man in the Moonlight" a Universal
photodrama with Monroe Salisbury
in the leading role which will be
shown at the Rex theatre tonight.
The scenes of the story are laid IN
the French CANADIAN woods. 1t con-
Germs Rossignol, romantic brigand
who laughs at his pursuers, renders
honor where nonor is due and scorn
where scorn is needed.
Scenes showing the action of the
old Royal Northwest Mounted Police
are particularly powerful.
!. In brief the story deals with an
interrupted wedding, a man-hunt
and sequel Of love.
There will also be shown a Gen.
tury comedy in two parts.

l,AIISES FOOLISH DREAMS.


CAUSES FOOLISH DREAMS.
-Manifestly there is part of
your brain that goes on think
ing while you are asleep. Were
this not the case you would
have no dreams. What part?
Nobody knows with certainty,
but there is good reason for be-
lieving that it is the untutored
half of the brain-the right half.
Each one Of us has really two
brains, right and left, just as
we have right leg and a left
leg. The left brain does our
thinking for us, while the right
(if we are fright handed') is
uneducated and does almost no
thinking at all. so uneducated
Is it that we cannot without
great difficulty use pen or so
simple an instrument as a pair
Of scissors with the left hand.
For it is the right brain that
controls the muscles Of the left
half Of the body, and vice versa.
Having almost no work to do.
the right brain needs no rest. 1t
does not get tired, and so stays
awake or at least partly SO,
while we sleep. Its thoughts
are what we call dreams.
Your dreams are foolish, be-
cause in sleep your thinking is
being done by the foolish half
of your brain. It Is simple
minded; at times 1t seems semi
idiotic. OF judgment 1t pos
sesses none at all, nothing being
too absurd or impossible to be-
accepted by 1t without criticism.
For example, it often happens
that in dream you meet near
relative or other person who
has been long dead. Are you
surprised to see him or her
walking about and talking?
Not bit. The foolish brain
thinks in a dull and stupid way,
with no exercise of the reason
ing faculty. Those parts Of it
which have to do with vision
and speech seem to be chiefly
active, judging from the ever
varying motion pictures thrown
upon the screen Of the mind dur
ing sleep, and from the constant
talking that accompanies them.
The foolish brain may perhaps
be compared to that of a mon
key, though probably inferior.
1t forms concepts, but cannot
put them together and draw
from them the conclusions
which are the basis of judg-'
ment.

FARNI1M IN WHIRLPOOL
IN LAST OF DUANES''

emit: will be seen at the Rex theatre,

mum, the noted Fox star, will be

Last of the Duanes," a perturbation

incidents in this vivid chapter OF
Texas life in frontier days" is Mr..
Farnum's escape from posse when,
finding himself trapped at the top

to the stump of tree and slides into
the whirlpool below at the risk OF life
and limb.

DOROTHY DALTON SAYS

IL am not one of those who believe
that the. stage is an unqualified asset
to an actress or actor contemplating
taking up motion picture work. In
fact, I have frequently noticed that
the firts efforts in pictures of many
a stage star are not successful be-
cause they cannot get out Of the
habit of using words to put over a
scene, when gestures and facial 9aj a. ex-
pressions slightly exaggerated are OF
course the only method by which the
emotions may be portrayed on the
screen"
Miss Dalton is coming to the Elko
theater on Friday and Saturday in
her latest Thomas H. 1nce produc-
ton, ''His Wife's Friend" 1t is a
Paramount-Artcraft release.
