Finding a way OUT, an auto
biography, by Robert Russa Mot
ton.
At the age of eighteen, the ne
gro boy, Robert Russa Motion,
resisted the urgent invitation of
his friends to become a candidate
for the state legislature. Instead
he chose, to carry farther the
education begun in his fathers
cabin.
Almost from his entrance into
Hampton Institute his purpose has
been to find, for the colored
people, "a way out through edu-
cation. His cause has been his
me, and hIs autobiography is the
story of negro education in the
cabins, in the free schools, and in
the institutes at Hampton and
Tuskegee. 4HMs
With fine sympathy and clear
understanding he depicts the lead
ers who laid the foundations of
the work, General Armstrong and
Booker T. Washington, with both
VI WnOIn MS dSSOClatlOH ndu Deell
close. Prevailing his story is that
kindly spirit which Booker Il.
Washington describes in his book
NY higher education" He says
major Motion is a man who,
without lobtruAng himself and
without knowing how he does it,
makes you believe in him from the
very first time you see him, and
at the same time makes you love
him. 1t has been through contact
with men like Major Moton-clean
wholesome, .high-souled gentle
men under black skins-that l
have received a kind of education
no books could impart."
Immediately upon the death of
Booker r. Washington the trustees
asked Major Motion to leave his
duties as disciplinary officer over
the negroes and Indians at Hamp-
ton to become the president of
Tuskegee Institute. In the last
chapter of Finding the way OUT
he tells the result of his effor1
to carry on the work under the
policies of his predecessor.

-Four Amendments

Washington, Feb. 21,-Attempts
of the house and senate conference
committees to iron out differences
in the Fordney emergency tariff
today were successful with respect
tot four amendments, but three
others, all of which were added by
the senate, were passed over until
another meeting tomorrow.
The conference session ended,
however, with its members widely
separated on the questions of du-
ties on wheat, olives and sugar and
also as to the length of long staple
cotton which should be protected.

MISTRESS OF SHENSHONE"
AT ELKO THEATER TONIGHT

Rarely indeed does the public have
an opportunity Of witnessing a screen
production, far removed from all that
is so<did and repugnant, and yet one
which touches upon every shade of
human emotion. In "The Mistress of
Shenshone," Robertson-Cole super
special starring Pauline Frederick,
famous emotional actress, such pro-
duction is presented. The picture
appears at the Elko theater tonight
and tomorrow.
Adapted from the well-known novel
by Florence L. Barclay, "The Mistress
of Shenshone." tells tale of love,
sacrifice and honor THAT has had few
counterparts on the screen. 1t is a
page out of real life, throbbing with
dramatic action, but with all as clean
and wholesome as prairie wind.
Pauline Frederick, with all the art
at her command, invests the charac-
ter of Lady 1nCleby with sympathy,
strength of. character and humanness
which even the power of the written
world failed to convey. Her work is
revelation that must need be seen
to be appreciated. - w.. =.
From every angle "The Mistress of
Shenshone," is a production that will
rank among the best that the screen
has ever offered, and done that will
further establish Pauline Frederick as
the supreme emotional actress of the
silver sheet. 49,. ..Eg s

FADs ARE OLD AS PYRAMIDS
Mute Story Told BY Munmies Of Both
Egypt and Peru in Field Mu-
scum in Chicago.

Bobbed hair, concealed ears, short
skirts and all the other fads and
f0iDles associated with modern wom-
ems styles are as old as the pyramids,
according to the mute story told by
the mummies OF both Egypt and Peru
in the Field museum in Chicago.
4 Wrapped in their pitched shrouds,
and encased in sarcophagi covered
with curious paintings and hero
glyphs in colors still bright after 81
600 years or more, these mummies, all
that was mortal OF human beings Of
ages ago, today link the present to a
civilization long since dead.
The daily center of thousands Of
curious eyes, for the mumlrffes seem
to hold strange fascination for every
visitor to the museum. they are silent
spectators of the passing throngs, but
the paintings which adorn their rest
ing places tell more plainly than
words of styles, customs and manners
of Il forgotten age. l..... %"E
why, ma, they're dressed just like
the girls we see on Michigan boule-
vard." exclaimed an aged visitor to
his wife as they gazed at the strange
figures adjoining the sarcophagi. "
vt appears like they did not wear
a bit more than they do nOw,' the
woman answered rs the pair moved
away. 80" ~ .e. IN
1t is Il far cry from the Nile of Gle
opa:ra's day to the Pacific coast Of
Peru in. South America, but mummies
from both regions, lying almost within
reach of each other now, but in life
ignorant of each others existence,
bear graphic evidence Of the greatest
similarity and proficiency in many
arts at time when the NOrsemen
were ravaging all southern Europe
and the Old World had almost sunk
into barbarism.

II q a 4
In the depths of the Oregon forest,
close to the great lumber mills, lives
jim Downing, loveable old idealist,
with his hal:-Grccd daughter, Elsie,
and Gordon Clarke, his foster-son.
Clarke is representing an eastern
aeroplane company for whom he buys
spruce timber from boswell, but oW-
ing to unsettled conditions in the
camp he is having difficulty in secur-
ing a good grade of lumber. This
brings about a dispute with John
Hartwell, superintendent of the mills,
who forbids his daughter, Ruth, from
seeing Clarke again. 4
Clarke and Ruth are sweethearts
and in spite of parental objections
the lovers continue to communicate
with each other and meet whenever
possible. 49,. .@5
The spirit of unrest has been en-
gendered and kept alive by Ivan, an
agitator, who in the name of reform
has caused dissatisfaction among the
men.
Ivan has brains and education and
is fast gaining influence over the men.
At heart he cares nothing for the
workers but simply uses them as a
weapon to further his own interest.

in two and Il half days the road and

needed was on hand in the community
so that no time was lost going to the

and corduroy. .-
