crete platforms on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., to break up the continuously
smooth surface of that street beyond
the possibility of easy removal. In
case Of great parade, as in septem-
Der last, when Pershing and the 1st
Division marched through the capital,
these platforms were removed and the
street was cleared. At Inauguration
time there should be no such obstruc-
ton, or on any other similar occasion.
In this connection it may be sug-
gestcd that the Public Utilities Com
mission should take up again the mat
ter of street ear stops where there
are no loading platforms. There are
some decided Inconsistencies in the
present system. As, for example, on
G street, cars moving east, starting at
18th, stop for passengers on the east
side of 14th, on the west side of 18th,
and not again until midway between
10th and 18th streets, nor again until
east of 9th. This interposes two long
spaces without stops. On the same
street west bound ears make no stops
from the station east of 9th street to
a point midway between 18th and 18th.
This is not good public accommoda
ton. There are other places in town
where the same condition prevails.
There arc points where cars are com
PEELED to stop for safety purposes and
then arc stopped for passengers a few
yards beyond. The whole "Becler sys-
tenn" of skip stops is evidently in need
of revision, and as quickly as possible,
to give the public the benefit of bet
terments without delay.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Real Excitement.
The old geography once seemed
A dull and dreary book.
No hint of swift adventure CLEANED
Through its forbidding look,
Tho boundary lines with studious csrs
The teacher made Us trace,
And month by month We found them
In the accustomed place.
But now the geographic play
Has grown to be 50 rough
That / have lightly thrown away.
Some good detective stuff
That once entranced and thrilled my
mind.
At present it does not.
In the geography I find
The fighting and the plot.

MARY PlCKFORD IN 1.-THE
HOODLUM- At REX SUNDAY

As Amy Burke, Miss Pickford has
an unusual role. She is first seen as
a spoiled granddaughter of the very
wealthy Alexander Guthrie. Silk pa
jamas, several fancy-built roadsters, a
private tutor with sheel-rim glasses
are a few of her possessions.
Then, In order to live with her fa-
ther who is determined to write
book on sociology, and incidentally to
live among the poor, Amy pertly in
forms her granddad that there Is no
chance for her to visit Europe with
him; she is going to live with her
father.
Life for Amy In the tenements seems
one long siege of degradation. While
her grandfather is supposedly visiting
the crowned heads of Europe, Amy is
watching the crowned cans of beer
being distributed in Creighen Street.
Among those whom Amy meets in
the tenements are Dish Lowry. little
chap an appetite for hardboiler eggs;
William Turner. struggling artist
with a past not as black as it is paint
ed, and Peter Cooper, a wealthy old
recluse, whom Amy tries to frame"
for crap game.
How Peter Cooper serves as the
medium through which a reconeilia-
tion among the Burke family is eff
fected and how the struggling artist
aids Amy in cracking her grandfath-
er's safe and steals her heart is most
comical end to this production, which
bids fair to break all records at the
Rex Theatre next Sunday matinee and
evening.

STANDARD OIL
TO BUILD PLANT

1t has been rumored here for the
past several months that the Standard
Oil company was considering the ad-
visibility of establishing a distributing
station in this Valley to better facili-
tate the distribution of gasoline and
oils throughout this territory.
The company supplies this territory
through their Carson station and it is
often necessary for the motor truck
to make two trips daily to Gardner
Vile to supply the local demand for
gas and oil. it being stated that this
district gives the Standard Oil CON-
pany more business than all the other
territory served from the Carson
station combined. This condition, 1t is
said, is responsible for the decision of
the company to build distributing sta
tion in Carson Valley.
The location for the new plant has
not been definitely decided upon, ac.
cording to reports. but announcement
will be made within the next two
weeks

SUGAR FACTORY MAY
REMAIN At FALLON

There is possibility that the Fal-
Ion beet sugar factory will not be
moved to Utah. as was announced
some time ago.
The Fallon Standard says an in
quiry has been received from the
Utah owners asking about the pos
sibilities of beet raising in the yaT-
ley this season and whether 1000
acres of beets can be planted this
year.
A fiat rate of $l5 per tou for sugar
beets delivered at the mill is offered
this fall with an additional advance
of one dollar per ton for beets for
each cent per pound sugar advances
In price over the contemplated L.
cent price for the 1920 production of
beet sugar.
Farmers who have been approached
on the subject are lending encourage
ment without exception.

of living. In the meantime. the de-:
