USE FREIGHT BY
DIRECTIONS AND
OBTAIN SERVICE

Method Of securing express ser
vice in shipments out Of Chicago to
Rock Island at freight rates is given
by the Chamber Of Commerce on d.
rection furnished by local freight
agents.
Shippers should insist that mer-
chandise scheduled to come over
the Rock Island lines be delivered
to the freight house In that city at
Taylor and Sherman streets, and
shipments over the Burlington road
to Polk and Harrison streets.
Shipments made in this manner
arrive in Rock Island the following
morning for early delivery.
Freight agents state that much
shipping is done by express to ex-
pedite delivery, but that as good
service can be had by freight by
following these instructions.

About the most interesting group
in the films today is the little
group Of condolences who surprise
Us every once In q while by becom-

OF the prettiest and most vivaciouB
Of all Of them is Dorothy Devore,
the little girl who for two years has
been playing the dainty heroine Of
those highly amusing one-reel
Christie comedies. s.,
Miss Devore flashed forth recent
ly as Mary, in "Forty-dve Min
utes From Broadway" Charlie
Rays first independent picture,
and showed she was a real actress
with subtle and convincing tech

Something Different
In Pictures Starts at
The Capitol Sunday

That Hobart Bosworth II . Gun
summate artist is clearly evidenced
at the Capitol theatre, starting SUM-
day. Bosworth Is starring in "A
Thousand TO One" his first J. Par

and general air OF non-chalance.
Different? Well, you'll say SO!
From Hobart Bosworth IN brooches
and tattered shirt to the polished
man-about-town of the earlier part
of "A Thousand To One" is = far
cry, but certainly in the present
instance . happy one.
Author, producer and the star
himself, however. have conspired to
give Bosworth back to his own ele=
ment and we are not very far into
the picture when BY . combination
of events, perfectly logical. albeit
ingenious. the star is delivered
back to his dear northwoods, q
heavy beard, SLOUGH hat and flannel
shirt. One can almost hear the
sense OF satisfaction which envel-
Qpes the audience when the Bos-
worth Of Behind the Door" BE-
low the Surface" and His Own
Law" again appears before them.
There is no possible doubt about
it-Bosvorth is best beloved In his
virile Characterization and he new

Major A. E. W. Mason, author of
"At the Villa Rose" the new play
in which Otis Skinner is appear
ing this season, declares that the
plot was taken from two myster-
ious crimes which were committed
several years ago-one at AK les
Baines, the other In Commercial
Road, East End, London.
The murder of Madame Fougere
at Ak, and the finding Of her maid,
bound and chloroformed, shook the
famous French watering place and
the republic and was a nine days
mystery.
At the time of the crime the au-

LIBRARY DRIVE BEGINS TOMORROW
Summer School
Shows Balance
Teachers Likely to Receive
Full Pay

In this day of overdrafts, deficits
and exceeding appropriations, it Is
unusually and delightfully."- refreshing
to record balance in the manage
ment of State funds.
Miss Mary Rich, for years Dean OF
the Summer School, who resigned to
take up graduate work at Teachers
College, Columbia, was in Newark
this week in conference with the
Business Administrator Incident to
closing the accounts of this years
Summer School. Due to the efficiency
in administration and minute atten-
ton to details, there is balance OF
! S1976.2O from the Board and Room
Fund which is being forwarded to DR..
Holloway of the State Board. This
will make possible the full reimburse
ment to teachers for expenses as con-
templated in the law. The fixed ap
propriation for this item was not sui
ficient this year due to the increased
number of students. The unexpendet
balance for Summer School expenses
can, it is understood, be used for thi
purpose.
President Hullihen and Busines
| Administrator Wilkinson were en-
! thusiastic over the showing made. L
them will come the approval OF tn
a Trustees. Dean Rich with her assls,
: ants, Misses Helen Reese and Natall
II Belts, made this possible. By thei
: painstaking and consistent attentio
p to every business detail, the teacher
=. will receive their full Reimbursement
" and the State will delight in efficiei
;. management at the University.
