EVERYTHING FOR SALE" AT
. ELKO THEATER TONIGHT

Besides the interest which always
attaches to the first starring pictures
Of any screen artist, there will be
thrills a-plenty in Everything for
Sale" which will be- shown tonight
and Friday at the Elko theater, with
May McAvoy as the star.
A night on an island, boat that
drifts away, an attempt to regain it
and the smashing of the swimmer
against rocks; scene between two
men-and it's conclusion as the girl in
the case falls through a closet door
accidentally overcome by, gas fumes
such strongly dramatic incidents
arg woven together with splendid
tinesse by the author, Hector Turn
bull
The cast that will be seen in sup
port of Ma, McAvoy in "Everythiny
for Sale" includes such well-known
screen personages as kathlyn Will
Jams, Eddie Sutherland, Edwin Stew
ems, Richard Tucker, Betty Schade,
Dana Todd, and, Jane Keckley. The
story is an original scenario by Hec-

S WORLDS TIME CENTER
Elaborate System by Which observa-

land, and Made Public. -

J The astronomical, wind and rain in
struments on the roof of the chrome
logical building at Greenwich, Eng,
make the scene an interesting one.
Here, in this building, is the time
center Of the world. Time is usually
determined by r, watching the stars.
The stars are used for this. purpose
because they are. many and the sun Is
but one. Star transits can be taken
at various times throughout the day
and night while the sun can be used
but once a day. ,...5f..-
This is how observations are made
at Greenwich: About two minutes
before the appointed time the operator
takes his place at the. eye piece Of the
telescope. AS he looks he sees num-
Der OF vertical lines. These are spider
threads placed in the focus Of the eye
piece. Presently bright point Of sill
yer light comes moving quickly OH

the side of the telescope until his fin
ger finds "a little. button, over which
1t rests ready TO strike. On comes the
star without haste, without rest" I'M
til it reaches. one of the cleaning
threads. Tap! The finger falls sharp
~ on the button. In three or four sec
onds the star has reached another
thread. Tap! Again the button is
struck; and SO Oh until the ten threads
have been passed and the, transit is

Now let us consider what the finger

This is large metal cylinder covered
with paper. and turned by a carefully
| regulated clock once in, every two min
utes. A similar mark is made once in
every two seconds by a current sent by
means of the standard sidereal clock
Of the observatory. If then one Of
the clock dots and one Of the observ-
er's dots come exacatly side by side,
1t is known at what precise second the
star was on: one of the wires, as the
spider threads are called. If the OBJ
servers dot comes between two clock
dots, it is easy, by measuring it's dis
lance from them with dividing scale,
to tell the instant the star was on the
wire to: the tenth part of second.

"cUPlD's BRAND" AT THE l., {
REX THE.ATER, SATURDAY

The lovers Of western pictures will
see something new in the way Of lariat
throwing in the coming feature pho
toplay production. "Cupid's Brand"
starring Jack Hoxie at the Rex thea
ter Saturday.
Hoxie is we'll known as a rip-tear-
ing type of cowboy film STAR and,
while thousands Of his admirers have
seen him rope a steer or a fleeing
outlaw from the back of his. we'll
known pony many time, no one
Of them has ever seen him perform
his roping tricks from the tonneau
of an automobile.
In "Cupid's Brand Hoxie does just
this. He forsakes his speedy pinto
during one of the high action spots of
the picture and astride the running
board Of a flying automobile, manages
to use his lariat in getting what he is
after. It is an unusual touch for a
Western picture, and has humor TO-
gether with its novelty. - 49,.

ly yielding.
The western engineers say that 4
you put shock absorbers in the vehi'
clio why not put them in the road
They point to repeated tests which
have shown that the elastic or rather
resilient slab made Of asphalt and
stone shows more than double thu
resistance to ahattering by heavy
blows than has been shown by any
rigid slab Of similar thickness and
design.
"Black Base" Lasting
On the Pacific coast the flexible typ
Of pavement is commonly known a.
''black base" because the entire slat
is black with asphalt. =
At Visalia, California, Is q blacl
base pavement Of a total thickness
Of seven inches Of combined base and
top laid in 1894 and in good condi'
ton today with no outlay for main
tenance during u years.
More than 100000 yards Of blacll
base type Of pavement have beey
laid on the Pacific coast and ovei
four-flfths OF this large yardage arc
not over 5 inches in total thickness.
The reason so thin: a pavement il
effective is because it reduces impact
by cushioning the shock instead d
resisting it, keeps the subgrade o
earth foundation dry because the as
phalt is waterproof. And the sur.
face is subjected to a scarcely per-
ceptible wear because the pavement
gives of no dust. -
Even where concrete, brick or BLOCH
pavements have already been laid thek
may be protected from impact by al
asphaltic cushion top, which at TIA
same time protects rigid foundationa
from cracking through expansion and
contraction by more nearly equalizlnS
moisture and temperature conditions.
Saving Of many million dollars by
using instead of heavy reinforced
rigid pavements the flexible slabs SO
popular on the Pacific coast will una
doubtedly result as the merits Of blacN
base pavements become more WIDELY
known. ;
