TOM MOORE AT
GRAND SATURDAY

GRAND SATURDAY
Tom Moore in "One of the Finest, I"
newest of his Goldwyn pictures to
be shown at, the. Grand theatre on
Saturday only, plays the role of a
traffic policeman. Now no man hold
ing that responsible position ever
went through a week without an ad-
venture, and as more than few
weeks of Larry Hayes life are de-
picted on the screen it goes without
saying that his adventures are many.
Chief of them all, and the one that
sets the unique plot unfolding, con-
Germs rebuke administered by Office
Hayes to society girl motoring thru
the park with a silk-hatted escort.
They are speeding when the traffic
COP gallops up and orders them to
slow down. The naughty stare OF the
girl and the .insolance Of the man
bring about goodhumored reply
from the policeman, which is con-
strued as impertinence, and Larry
Hayes is reduced in rank as result.
In addition, "A Gum Riot" two
part Hank Mann comedy will also be
shown.

Tom Mix has led q consistent NE
in that his screen adventures are out
continuation, and in some instances
a transcript, of his actual experlen-
rose This Fox star, so aptly caIleo
the daredevil Of the screen" young
though he is, has crowded into MS
years many times their normal que
0fdiife.
When can one find a character
more virile, energetic and indepen-
dent than Buck Marston, the "One
Quarter Apache" of the latest VIII.
lam Fox production, Desert Love,
which opens at the Rex theatre TO-
day? Yet Mix, who plays that part
with such fine spirit and realism mas
4 background of aduallity that
matches this fictitious character.
He was born in the southwest, the
cradle of many a dauntless spirit
the southwest, with its sunburnt
plains, obstinate streams rock-rim-
med deserts, and picturesque Indian
trails. The iron grip of the law has
subdued the section, but in those days
lawleesness was rife, life and buck
shot were cheap. His early training
was consequently such as developed
all latent virility.
He was successfully deputy sher-
if, state and national enforcement
OFFICER, and a member of the famous
Texas Rangers. He took part In the
suppression of the Boxer Rebellion In
China, and joined the Rough Riders
under Colonel Roosevelt during tho
Spanish -American conflict.
His friendship with Roosevelt was
clinched when Mix acted as the Col
onel's guide in a hunting trip, and
lasted unweakened until Roosevelt's
death.
In all these episodes of his life Mix
faced danger unafraid, conscious OF
his great strength and skill, in the
same fashion as he faces it in the
Fox pictures. A series Of productions
where his genius assisted itself ever
more emphatically has made his name
a synonym for daring. In addition to
his stunts, he is capable of genuine
acting that takes him out of the class
Of mere thrillers and places him high
in the scale of artists.
Mix doubtless owes great deal OF
his success to the spirit with which
he enters upon the work. He believes
in intense training and whole-heart-
ed application. He throws all his en-
ergy into the performance of his task,
with such splendid results as abound
in Desert Love-"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - Declara tion in the house today by Representa- tive Mondell of wyoming, the Repub- lican leader, that congress should cut departmental appropriations estimates, especially those from the war and navy departments, by nearly a billion and a half dollars, started a round of political debate that occupied most of the ses- siou
 MT, Mondelrs criticism of army and navy estimates, made in the course of a prepared speech oil government fin ances, brought defense from Represen- tatives Hardy and Connally, Democrats of Texas, for Secretaries Baker of the war department and Daniels of the navy department. This led to charges by Representative Mondell, Represen- tativo Blanton, Democrat of Texas, aud others that the war head Twas spend ing money not authorized by congress and that the navy department chief had presented estimates "so eXtravsgant that they can not be described
 Rigid economy in appropriations to lighten tho tax burden was urged by the Republican leader, who said that tbe total submitted estimates Of $4- 4F3. soc. 900 shoJld be sealed down by S1 400 900 O00 Army and navy csU mates were criticized as five and a hal ffimes tho highest peace time 3p propriatious sine 1916.

TITANIC QUAKE
 TEARS, TWISTS
 EARTH'S CRUST
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased wlreJ

WASHINGTON, Dec 16. - Some where. perhaps leagues deep beneath the rolling blue of the Atlantic and forever hid from the eyes of man. the earth's crust was torn and twisted to- day by a titanic convulsion.
 For hours the earth's surface shude dered under the feet of it's needless millions. Force waves thousands of miles in length swept outward from that storm center like ripples on a rock broken pool. Yet only the un- sleeping seismographs noted 1t and inscribed a mute record for watchful scientists who guard them.
 First word of the disturbance came from the Georgetown university here. When the Rev. Father Francis A. Ton dorff, director Of the seismographic ob- servatory. peeced at his delicate mech anism this morning, it told him of a shock more severe than any recorded in the last two years. Somewhere the power beneath the surface was still bulging at the. earth crust holding il in check.
 Father Tondorff sent out word ol the shock, thinking it might be an other great disaster As the day went by. however, no word came back, leav- in.g to conjecture the scenes and exact nature of the disturbance.
 Experienced observer that he is Father Tondorff classed the record oi | his instruments as that of a terrible shock. It began soon after a. m. here reached it's greatest intensity toward o'clock and was still leaving a waver- Ing, diminishing trail after noon, as the earth slowly settled to quiet
 The chart indicated an east westerly direction. Father Tondorff estimated | the distance from Washington as 2S0l miles. First impressions were indis- tinct, seized while records of disturb ances in South or Central America have been recorded sharply and clearly. | might have been the scientist said, { submarine disturbance, a new noun

LEGION DEMANDS
 QUICK ACTION ON RELIEF MEASURE
TRepubIIcan A. D. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-The Amer ican Legion will defend the tax plan in the house bill granting adjusted compensation to former service men but it will not defend delay by con- gross In passing the measure, the sen ate finance committee was told today by Gilbert Bettman, a member of the legion's executive committee.
 Senator McCumber, North Dakota, acting chairman of the committee, had advanced the condition of the treas uary as a reason for suggesting post ponement of action until 1922 or 1928. He said treasury reports indicated a deficit of one and one-quarter billion dollars on Jan 1, two and a half bill lions on next June 30, and one and a half billion at the end of the next fiscal year.
 we all may be for a policy of re- trenchment," said Mir. Bettman, but let's not reTench when the men came back at an economic disadvantage"
 Carl Calvin national commander of the World War Veterans told the com mittee that congress had provided the means for compensating the railroads and other industries taken over during the war and that the former soldiers felt they should have equal treatment
 Says Congress Must Find Means
 Major Frederick w. Galbraith Jr. of Cincinnati, national commander of the American Legion, in presenting the claims said that congress should find the means of meeting these claims. MT Bettman expressed a similar view say ing it was not for the legion to advise when or how "the debtors" should pay
 Some of the senators did not agree with the legion spokesman that large numbers of the soldiers would accept homesteads or other features Of the bill in lieu of the cash bonus proposed as one of the alternate plans of com pensation. Major Galbraith thought z campaign of education would reduce the number who now favored a casE payment by the government.
 Major Galbraith sharply attacked the administration for the treatment of dis abled service men. He said congress had been liberal with funds for this purpose, but that the federal agencie. charged with carrying on the worl had not co-operated and functioned properly.
 R. G. woodside of Pittsburg, com mander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, urged immediate passage of tn, house measure, declaring that all tn men asked was a square deal. Pro posing a substitute bill for vocationa training and some form of governmen loans for homes, Sam Lovenbein, tn chairman of the Rank and File Vet erans' Association, declared that al former soldiers opposed the pendin measure; that all wanted cash bonu and that they wanted it to come fror the "war profiteers."

$2,000,000 Blaze Destroys Drydocks
 And Damages Ships
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec 16.-The Jahncke drydocks, near the industrial canal several miles below this city were destroyed and four steamers were damaged late today by fire caused by the breaking of an electric wire which fell into the Mississippi river, creating short circuit and igniting oil which had spilled from a tanker. Although a number of minor injuries to fire fighters and workmen were reported, there was no loss of life.
 Damage to the docks was estimated tonight at S2,O00,00O and to the steam CTS at over $20O,000. The vessels most seriously damaged were the Dillwyn, a steel freighter of 1851 tons, owned by the New OrIeans and South American Steamship company, and the Dade County, registering 2256 tons, and owned by the Ward line.
 Shipping valued by Maritime eX- change officials at $10,00O,0O0 was near the docks but was removed to safety. The Petrel which was with Dewey at Manila bay, was one of the vessels lowed to safety. Minor explosions spread flaming oil about the docks.
 Most of the loss is covered by in suranCe

GENEVA, Dec. 16.-Th9 league Of nations increased its membership to 46 states today by the admission of Bull garia, Finland, Luxembourg and Costa Rica. None of them met with oppo sition, but there were some abstentions from voting on their admission, led by the French delegates. who explained that. although they hold no grievances against Bulgaria, they lacked sufficient information and preferred not to act either way.
 Armenia came up again today Co trouble the assembly To do something fer Armenia has appeared to be the slogan of several members since the beginning of the meeting, including South Africa, reported by Lord Robert Cecil. The committee on the admis- sion of new states having decided that Armenia could not be admitted nov. Lord Robert asked the assembly to al least hold out the hope that Armenia will be admitted into the family Of na - tions next year. and to wish we'll to President Wilson in his mission of me diation between the Armeniaus and Turkish nationalists.
