TOM MIX x
 AT THE RIALTO

When Tom Mix appears for the first time in "The Untamed," as real youngster, it is hard to realize that 1t can be the same Tom Mix of two gun ring red blooded fame. He is perfect in the role, and really looks as youth full and boyish as he is supposed to be. Audiences have a surprise in store for them in "The Untamed" It Is late Mix appearance. and by all means the best in which he has been seen here In it Mix shows every sign or much improved acting He has always delighted many adorers who loved the adventurous spirit of the actor. but in The Untamed' he is truly artistic.
 In addition to good acting and fine cast. including Pauline Starks in th= leading role, the play is based on a very interesting story, There is>some- thing highly dramatic in the character of "Whistling Dan" (Tom MiX). who whistles his way both through the more sunny paths of life and the dark moments of revenge and hate.

Douglas Fairbanks is making good at the Colonial. where he is starring in Reggie Mixes In" Doug has cer- tain style that can usually be depended On, and here he appears as his own amusing self. He certainly has very amusing story in Reggie Mixes In" and he has put forth all the efforts of a fine actor of comedy to make a humorous plot simply ludicrous. It would be difficult to tell all the ex- periences of Reggie, and just how he did his mixing in.
 Two charming actresses appear with Fairbanks. being Bessie Love and Alma ReubeDs. This picture is not Doug's latest. but it must be one of his best. SA

Tjosvold Goes to CIarkfieid as Bank
Cashier

The many friends of S. O. TICS
void will be surprised to hear he has
left his farm, "Maplewood," and has
gone to Clarkfeld as the cashier of
bank. We take the following from
the Clarkfeld Advocate:
The directors and stockholders of
the Farmers and Merchants State
Bank can indeed congratulate them
selves in having secured the services
of S. 0. Tjosvold, of Stony Run, as
permanent cashier. Mr. Tjosvold
needs no Introduction to the people
OF this community nor to the people
of the county. having served as coun-
ty auditor for ten years. Before that
time he held a position as professor
at the Willmar Seminary and Bust
ness College for ten years. He owns
one Of the best farms in Stony Run,
this being the place where he was
born and raised. His experience both
as teacher and auditor makes Mr.
Tjosvold peculiarly fitted for the
responsible position which he has &C.
cepted.
Mr.. Tjosvold has also taken an &C.
tive part in local and state politics.
Two years ago he was a candidate
for State Auditor on the progressive
ticket and was also identified with
the progressive element in many
ways. We take pleasure in welcom-
ing Mr.. Tjosvold to our community

USE FOR LUMINOUS PAINT
Material Found Almost Invaluable In
War Might Also Be Well En-,
pIoyed in Peace.

Here Is wartime application Of
luminous paint that should be useful
IN summer camps, on the hikes of boy
scouts, in peacetilne maneuvers of
citizen soldiers, in marking the land
ing places of aircraft, etc.
The British army had disks or but
tons two or three inches in diameter
coated with luminous paint and having
sharp spike on the under side These
were stuck upon the sides of trenches,
buildings, fences, etc., or were swung
by hand to give signals in the we'll
known code where bright lights were
dangerous or where silence was
golden.
The luminous disks were visible
from 80 to 60 feet, SO they formed val
liable landmarks. Luminous ribbon
also was used for marking trails
through the woods, and luminous
patches were attached to the backs of
stretcher bearers to prevent them from
being fired upon by their own troops.
The Scientific American suggests
that the names and numbers of city
streets might we'll be marked with this
luminous paint.

NEED NOT TRANSFER GERMS
Disease viii Not Be Transmitted II
SoiIed Hands Are Kept Away
From Mouth.

It Is glaringly obvious that the bit
ing of finger nails, the moistening Of
fingers in turning the pages Of book,
and similar half-consciOus acts greatly
enhance the opportunities for planting
undesirable germs where they can null
tiply," says the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. ION the
fingers they may be harmless; trans
ferred to the mouth they have q wide
field for development.
''The soiling Of the hands is impos-
sible to avoid altogether, but the swal-
lowing of germs from ones own s0iled
hands is largely under individual con-
troll.
1T may fairly be assumed that the
most useful safeguards against this
form Of disease transmission are to be
found in such practices as hand wash
ing and In refraining from using the
tongue or the lips as moistening-pad,
rather than in hysterical attempts at
avoidance Of all hand contamination.
Children are best protected through
the incubation of similar desirable
habits at an early age. In word,
some degree of hand-contamination is
unavoidable; but the transference of
the communicating germs to the mouth
is largely under individual control and
is subject to the powerful influence of
early-formed habit"

The Fanciulla d'Anzio,

One Of the gifts that President WI
son received in Italy was a silver
model Of the statue known as the Fan
ciulla dAnzio, presented to him by the
Roman municipality. The original is
a Greek statue, discovered not long
ago at the villa Of Nero, in the seaport
town of Anzio, near Rome, and pur-
chased by the Italian government for
100000 lire. Admirers of art and stu
dents of archaeology had travelled from
all over Europe to see it, and the
youthful draped figure, carrying a plat
ter from which the object it long ago
held had been broken, was named the
Maid Of Anzio. Then somebody noticed
that the long robe was lifted little,
as If to avoid tripping over it, that
the biceps muscle of the bare arm was
more boyish than girlish, and so on,
until modern judgment has decided
that the title Fanciulla d'Anzio is q
misnOmer, and that the unknown
sculptor was really modelling the figure
of handsome youth performing some
service In an ancient temple.

EAGER TO SEE elephant
First One That Was Brought to tho
United States Aroused the VI
most Curiosity.

Nowadays, when summer in the
United States would hardly seem itself
without the coming Of circus, it is
difficult to realize the excitement
aroused by the first exhibition of an
elephant. A now-forgotten Snowman,
Hackaliah Bailey, is said to have i'm
ported the first elephant nearly q hum
dred years ago, and the animal was
whole show In himself. The circus
tent had not yet come into being, and
the elephant was shown in barns in
the Eastern states that then held the
bulk Of the population. To prevent the
public from seeing the show without
charge, the elephant travelled from
place to place in the night; but even
so, the public refused to be wholly cir
cumvented, and small companies gath
cred with bonfires ready to light when
the strange creature came numbering
past on his way to the next town.
Sometimes, however, the management
defeated this intention by sending
along the road horse built up to look
like an elephant in the dark, and when
the bonfire had been lighted and had
burned out, the real elephant followed

The mild surprise with which one
occasionally notes the name Of a for

purchased in the United States may
before long include boxes of matches
bearing the far-away name Of Dairen,
Manchuria. The worlds appetite for
matches is apparently Unsuitable. An
American company has been studying
Manchuria and Siberia from the match
manufacturing point of view, but so
has large Japanese concern, and this
concern, it now seems, will be first in

The Way to the Pole.

Service with the American air
forces in France adds weight to the
opinion of Donald 3. Macmillan, Arc
tic explorer and leader of the Croker
land expedition, that the airplane is
not adapted for dash to the pole
and that the cost of such a trip by
dirigible would be Drotibitive. In his
own future explorations, Mr. MacAIiI.
Ian says, he expects to depend on the
"ever-faithful dogs for conveyance.
The airplane is, in his judgment, i'm.
practicable for several reasons one of
which is, he says, sufficient to dis.
count the idea Of successful Arctic
exploration by hardy airlnen. The
frozen north offers no smooth fields
Of ice on which the explorer could
make landing. A dirigib]e might
start from properly equipped hangar
in Labrador and ! 'pe to return, but
the total cost Of the expedition would
probably be about S1,OO0,OOO.
