BRUCE GORDON ENJOYED
AN ADVENTUROUS LIFE

Bruce Gordon wanted TO be an
actor Father wanted him TO be a doc
tor. Father won-so did Bruce.
Father sent Bruce. willy-nilly. to
medical college in Johannesburg,
South Africa. where Bruce was born.
For three years he studied the great
game OF guessing how to cure the
human machine when 1t needs repair.
To London he was sent for his
fourth year and his degree. but that
he never attained, for the vagabond
spirit within him that revolted at
the monotony OF aches and pains and
pills. longed for the adventure and
romance OF the theatre. II would be
curbed no longer.
Young Gordon decided IL would be
easier to break into moving pictures
than the legitimate stage. Almost be-
fore he knew II. he had succeeded
and became one of the best known of
Europe's younger film stars. From
London he went to Holland and star
red in a series produced there.
After three and half years in pic
lures on the continent, his vagabond
spirit felt the call OF the Land OF the
Free. He introduced himself to ].
Stuart Blackton in less than twelve
hours after he had paid his respects
to Miss Liberty.
Mr.. Blackton was looking for just
his clean-cut. athletic and virile type
for the hero in The House of the
Tolling Bell" and engaged him on the
spot for that picture apd the one to
follow-'Forbidden Valley"
Bruce Gordon is a great athlete
and a hunter. having a reputation
OF being one of the most intrepid big
game hunters in the Transvaal. He
has happy-go-lucky philosophy.
What doesn't come today will come
tomorrow, or the day after, and life,
he believes, is Gods greatest Joke.

NEW SCHOOL TAX LAW
NOW IN EFFECT.

Austin, Texas.-An important rul
ing made by the attorney general
advises the state superintendent OF
public instruction that taxes can be
levied this year by school districts
under the enabling act putting into
effect the amendment to the constitu-
ion raising the limit for school taxes.
School districts are also advised that
they have the same right to evy and
collect taxes as heretofore existing,
except that the new law empowers
them to levy taxes not exceeding 81
on the 800 OF valuation for main
tenance of schools and a tax not to
exceed so cents in payment Of school
building bonds. but the maintenance
tax. together with the bond tax, can
not exceed 81.
The new law is now in effect, IT
having contained the emergency
clause. received the necessary two
thirds vote and was signed by the
governor. School districts may pro-
ceed to hold elections to increase
their school taxes by majority vote.
Assistant Attorney General w. p.
Dumas wrote the opinion. and he
points out how the taxes may be
levied He says that where a school
district votes taxes or bonds under
the enabling act and the order au-
thorizing the issuance OF the bonds,
or levy of taxes, is passed before the
tax rolls are completed. then the tax
shalhbe levied for the current year,
but IL such bond order, or tax order,
is passed after the final approval of
TIE tax rolls. then the tax should be
levied for the ensuing year.

DIR. CARRICK REPORTS
UNDUE INCREASED MORTALITY

Austin, Texas, March 18TH re
were 4046 deaths among people be-
tween the ages OF as and So reported
to the Bureau OF Vital Statistics for
the year 1920, according to DR.. NJ.
NJ. Carrick, state health officer. For
the month OF January, 1921, alone,
the report shows 306 deaths among
people between these ages
"The increasing mortality at these
ages" said DR. Carrick, indicates
either some undue and increasing
strain in our modern mode of exis-
tence, or lessening resistance
among our people. Men and women,
as middle life approaches, tend to
decrease their physical exertion and
increase their nervous activity. This
is a critical period, and certain prin-
ciples OF living should be followed.
Plenty OF exercise without over exer-
tion; proper bathing; the observance
OF dietary precautions such as less
consumption OF meat and greater
consumption of vegetables; the
avoidance OF nervous worry over tri-
fles-all these will do much to de-
crease the high death rate among
middle-aged people in our state"

the latest production from the Selz-

Highest Law" and which features
Ralph Ince as director and star

entertaining manner the eventful
career OF an old soldier who fought

take place in the present day in New
York city during a Memorial Day
anniversary. An old G. A. r. is no
ticed by a couple of "doughboys" to
be reverently gazing at a statue of
Abraham Lincoln. They strike up
conversation with the old man and
he tells them why he is so impressed
with the marble monument. Then
follows a series of stirring scenes of
the days OF '61. when brother fought
against brother. After a recital by
the old Union soldier the younger
men of the present day are also i'm
pressed and they register their tri-
butte by a strict military salute to the
memory of the great Emancipator.
Mr.. Ince will be seen in his re-
markably impressive and most real
istic impersonation OF Abraham Lin
coin and in the supporting cast will
be seen Robert Agnew, Margaret
Sedden, Aleen Burr and Cecil Craw-
ford the talented child actor who en-
acts the role of "Tad" Lincoln.
"The Highest Law" is said to be
based on facts of historical accuracy
and while the picture possesses great
educational values 1t has been con-
structed for entertainment purposes
and contains in abundance. heart In
