serves as diversion drain. Some
times short concrete dip is used for
the purpose Of passing the water over
the road in comparatively wide and
shallow flow instead Of under it. A
dip is simply pavement extending
the full width Of the roadway and
protected at each edge against under
mining by 4 cutoff wall extending IL
inches below the bottom Of the pave
ment Instead Of attempting to build
up grade for this pavement, SO as
to raise it above the food water, the
dip follows the grade of..the wash, and
the water passes over it In time Of
flood. Where the deltas are so wide
and the country so undeveloped as to
make the cost of a concrete dip exces-
sive, the dips are surfaced with gray
ell and the downstream edge Is protect
ed By concrete cutoff wall. III con-
nection with these drainage dips a "
shaped system of dikes and bitches is
used, converging toward the road If
1t Is desired to lead the flow from two
or more washes to single dip, and
dlverging toward the road when 1t Is
better to split the flow Of single
stream to more than one dip.

WOMEN FAVOR BETTER ROADS
Townsend Bill Endorsed. by General

at Salt Lake Meeting.

Evidence Of the widespread inter.
est in good highways was shown ut
the recent meeting of the General
Federation Of Women's Clubs at. Salt
Lake City. In endorsing the Town
send bill for national highways, now
before congress, Mrs. John Dickinson
Sherman Of Chicago, chairman oflthe
department Of applied education, said !:
1T is not necessary for us to point
out the real interest Of American
women in highway matters. The in
fluence Of real highways or" country
life, on economics, on education, is now
generally understood. What is needed
Is n national highway policy which will
conserve government funds, and,
through concentration Of federal
money on main highways, will give
us connected system at the earliest
moment and the least expense"

NEWS OF THE THEATRES
FRANK MAYO AS FIGHTING
PARSON AT GRAND. TONIGHT

go Straight" is the, title of the
feature showing tonight and tomor-
row at the. Grand theater, Frank
Mayo, the we'll known outdoor ath-
letic star plays the part OF the Tight
ing parson who cleans up, literally
and figuratively, dissoiute town
and wins the charming daughter OF
one of the crooked politicians. The
scenario has been written with dra--
matte progression and it is directed
carefully by William Worthington.
Two things strongly in the fea-
lures favor, are that it contains a
generous amount of natural and sim
Die suspense and the latter part is
fraught with action that is not pasted
on extraneously. Another thing that
marks the picture is the obvious fact
that Frank Mayo gives far better
performance in the present role OF
the belligerent clergyman than ne has
for some time. He does not walk
through his part. In fact, he con-
tributes no little amount to the build
ing up of suspjence and action. His
support is excellent, especially in the
cases of Harry Carter and George
Marion as the two heavies, and Lii
liam Rich as the daughter.
"a Week Off," featuring Baby Peg
gy and Charles Dorety is the two-part
comedy which completes the pro-
gram.

EMPLOYED ART OF FLATTERY
How DisraeIi Succeeded in Securing
the Full Confidence Of His Royal
Mistress, Victoria.

1t was after the untimely death Of
her husband Mt the age Of AZ that
Queen Victoria became the victim of
settled melancholy. For 20 years
after that event she continued to wear
mourning, took little or no interest
in the social life Of her subjects, and
made a slave Of herself in her cor
respondence and In her interviews
with her ministers on public questions
and the details of government.
1t was not until Disraeli became
premier, that the queen emerged from
the shadow Of bereavement. He fas-
cinated her by his rhetoric and poetic
style of address" Gladstone, she said,
used to speak to her as If she was
public meeting. but Disraelt re-
membered that she was q lonely
woman with a hungry heart. He fed
this hunger in letters that were almost
affectionate in tone. He called her
Gloriana and Titania, queen Of the
fairies, and in thousand Smiles
ministerpd to her self-esteem. lie
waved the magic wand OF tlattery and
Titana began to enjoy life once more.
So the queen in her old age be-
came popular with her subjects anu
revealed those mellow graces. those
milder attributes. that made her be-
loved and revered at home and abroad.

ssMISTRESS OF SHENSTONE"
AT, THE ELKO TONIGHT

Each time one sees Pauline Fred
serick on the screen, he is convinced
that she is at her best in that par
ticular vehicle in which he sees her:
This is true of 1.-THE Mistress OF
Shenstone," the new Robertson Cole
super-special in which the emotional
actress is starred and which appears,
last times, at the Elko theater tonight.
Certainly Miss Frederick has never
appeared to greater advantage. The
picture is an adaptation of novel OF
the same name by Florence l.. Bar
clay and might have been written
especially for Miss Frederick so well
does she fit the leadig role.
"The Mistress Of Shenstone" is a
love drama of the intense type. Miss
Frederick as Lady Myra Ingleby falls
in love with the man who is respon-
sible for the accidental death of her
husband. She does not know the mans
identity until she has given him her
heart. 1t is a strong situation and
Miss Frederick brings all of her ar
tistry into play to make it realistic.
There is an excellent cast in sup
port of the star including Roy Stew
art, Emmett C. King, Arthur Clay
ton, John Willink, Helen Wright,
Rose Gore, Helen Muir and Lydia
Yeamans Titus.
