THE WHITE RIDER" AT REX
q WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY

Joe Moore, the youngest brother OF
the Moore brothers, which include
Tom, Owen and Mat, is starred with
Eileen Sedgwick in "The White
Rider" five-reel production which
comes to the Rex theater on We'd
nesday of this week for two days.
The scenes of this picture are laid
in the mining camps of the South
west and have to do with an eastern
youth who goes to the camp for a
few days stay, and meeting Jewel
Brand, the daughter of prospector,
falls in love with her. He continues
to live there Indefinitely There is an
other character, a mysterious person
known as the "Wnite Rider" who
hovers on the outskirts of the camp,
for what purpose no one knows.
There is mining superintendent in
s.collusion with registrar of deeds,
who attempts to defraud Joel Brand
Of his claim. and by fastening crime
upon Joel Brand, forces him to give
his daughters hand in marriage to
Marsh. The conflict between the youth
of the East and mysterious rider over
Jewels hand, and the romantic and
daring of "The White Rider" in frus-
trating the plans OF Marsh and Grade
to defraud Jewels father of his
claim, gives zest and human interest
to a most original and unique pic
ture production. The suspense and
thrills, the love interest, the human
emotions, run the dramatic gamut

night, last times. The star appears
as an author, who is accused of writ
ing wildly impossible stories t;iat his
critics claim could never happen in
real life. The author proves that such
action can and does happen, for he
actually lives the story to the salts
faction of his readers. There are many
melodramatic scenes, and startling
pieces of action.
Elinor Field shares honors with
the star and while her part is not ex-
ceptionally big, she makes the most
of every scene and the role stances
out in bold relief. x
This photoplay does not depend
upon spectacular scenes or thrills for
its success; but holds tn, attention
through series of surprises and al
most hopeless tangles into which the
hero is plunged in his effort to live
a story he has written. There is a
clean, wholesome love story inter-
woven in the plot which at times as
sumes the proportions of detective
story and then branches off into a
sort Of super-Raffles affair with a
happy ending. " -

The fact that our earth in it's voyage

26,765 years, monthly movement Of the

of the earth-moon couple; mutation
caused by the attraction of the moon

ton, coming once every century, OF
the obliquity Of the ecliptic; variations
every century, of the eccentricty of the
terrestrial orbit; displacement of the
line of apses every p, 900 years dis
turhances caused by the constantly
changing attraction of the planets; dis

earth travels annually, this center be-
ing determined by the variable posi-

MARRIED LIFE" AT THE

Ben Turpin, he of the funny crisis

man in flmdom at the present time.
Mack Sennctt has given him his OPP
portunity to prove that he is a real
comedian and could even be laugh
provoker if he did not cross his eyes.
Ben's "big chance" came in "Mar-
ried Life" the latest Sennett five
reel comedy released through the
First National, showing at the Rex
theater today. In this tremendously
funny picture, Ben is the Big feature
and his work is of the legitimate type
that marks him as a comedian of the
first water. q.
Deep down in his heart he resented
the fact that everybody though: that
he could not play anything but a

Ash Best Material for Bats.

In making baseball bats no substi-

qualities must be considered in Sc

essential are weight and strength.

How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
IN THE OFFICE.

THERE is no better way to waste
your time than to work In an
of'ee where there is friction between
the employees.
The root of the evil is generally
poor organization. If you are given
orders by someone whom you do not
recognize as your superior, you are
likely to get huffy. You don't carry
our the orders as you should. The
work of the office suffers.
Every office should have an under
standing as to the rating of each en-
ployee. If you give orders there must
be no mistake in your right If you
take orders you should understand
that the person giving them has the
authority.
If the Office is small it is easy for
the head to give instructions on this
point If it is large it Is better TO
have chart showing the exact posi-
ton of each member of the force.
But there are other sources of fric-
ton. A habit of fault finding and criti-
cism is an excellent medium for fric-
ton. Don't fall into the habit of
your superiors. 1t is

phere of an Office can be poisoned by

ture. To obtain that result wash the
rice thoroughly, boil it in a large
proportion of water, and do not over
cook.
To one cup of dry rice, use four or
f1ve quarts Of water and one teaspoon-
ful of salt. Wash the rice through
several waters until all the loose
starch is removed, and drain IL. Have
the boiling water ready in a deep
saucepan, add the salt, slowly drop in
the rice, and allow it to boil rapidlv
for about 10 or 20 minutes. or until
a grain when pressed between the
thumb and finger is entirely soft.
In order to prevent the rice from
sticking to the pan, lift it If necessary
from time to time with a fork. but do
not, stir it, for stirring is likely TO
break the grains. When sufficiently
cooked, turn the rice into a colander
or a sieve, and after the water has
drained off cover with a cloth and set
over pan of hot water on the back
or the stove or In the oven; or turn
the rice into shallow pan, cover with
LID, and place 1t in a waFm oven for
short time. Treated In this way

role or in the sauce for the baked or

Cooking the Dried Fruits.
Dried fruits are usually given a
long, slow cooking In water below the
boiling point. They may be soaked
Tor a few hours, or they may be sim
ply mashed and put directly into the
warm water for cooking. The impor
tant point to be observed is not TO
soak or cook in too much water. The
dried product can not be expected TO
nave as much flavor as does the fresh
SO all pains must be taken to dilute
that flavor as little as possible. Most
recipes for cooking dried prunes and
apricots direct that two cupfuls of
water be used to one cupful of fruit
but better-favored product will re-
suit if equal measures Of water and |
1ruit be used, when the cooking is
done slowly in tightly covered YES
sci, so that little Of the steam escapes.
Dried fruits may be sweetened light
" (since they usually contain a good
Zeal of sugar themselves) with sugar.
Or with any sort Of strip, according
TO taste. They are to be used as
sauces, in buildings, fruit cakes and
compotes, whips, souffies and

lsed.
