Tom Mix

An. now we have action! Tom Mix's hats in the ring and he doesn't care who knows it. Not satisfied with one gun to do his direful deeds, Tom is ready both right and left to avenge the lady's honor.
 And the interesting thing about it all is that Toms real life bears out his reel life, A fighter in five wars and wounded in action; wounded again in a battle with outlaws while a United States marshal; with the experience of having faced a firing squad in MeXico-these are just few of the high spots in Toms life. The rest of the time, before he was in pictures. he was a cowpuncher who held countless championships for many daring exploits of his kind.
 In Toms early youth on his fathers ranch near Fl Paso, Tex, he went to school and punched cows-mostly punched cows" he says Later, though, he attend

 JULIA.-Bryant Washburn is mar ried to Mabel Forrest He was born in Chicago.
 JANE.-Yes; Alice Joyce was for merly the wife of From Moore. After her divorce from him she married James Began.

ed a Virginia military academy and strengthened the natural foundations for his career as a soldier.
 After serving in the Spanish American war as a scout, he went from Cuba to the Philip pines, and then to China with the expedition against the Boxers. Wounded in the battle of Tien- Tsin, he was inValided home. Later he joined the Texas Rang CTS, fought in Mexico, then fol- lowed a period as deputy mar shaI in Oklahoma; later winning honors at riding bad horses and throwing steers. It was at one of these exhibitions that he at tracted the attention of a mo- ton picture man, who signed him up right then and there for screen work.
 And there this Fox star has been ever since.
 So, perhaps the fact that he was a cowpuncher first and an actor afterwards, makes him so forcefuI in his screen roles.

ARMY FLYER HOPS OFF IN
 LONG FLIGHT

Jacksonville, March 25.-Lieut. w. D. Coney, army f1ier, ''hopped off' at 1:40 o'clock this morning from Pablo Beach in an effort to make a one day, one stop airplane flight from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, landing at San Diego, Cal He planned to make his only stop at Dallas, Tex, be- fore noon. Weather conditions were reported good so far as visibility was concerned, but predicted strong head winds were expected to hold down his speed.
 According to the route mapped out Lieut.. Coney had before him a jour ney of 2,0T0 miles. On his recent flight to Jacksonville from San Diego the actual flying time was 22 hours and 27 minutes, but the distance traversed was longer, as the fier lost ais way. This flight also had been attempted as one stop trip, but carburetQr trouble caused him to de scend at Bronte, Tex, where he was forced ito remain twelve hours before proceeding to Dallas.
 The machine Lieut. Coney used on the flight today is the same in which he flew eastward, but. it has been probably overhauled and a new pro- pel1er installed The hier was un- accompanied He wore electrically heated flying togs and carried as food chocolate cakes and hot coffee.
