the secretariatl was not too large,
and they had no recommendation TO

FAMILY TRAVELS
ACROSS COUNTRY
TO SEARCH WORK

Claiming to have travelled from
San Francisco, Calf, to Rock Is
land, where she heard work was
easy to find, a poorly dressed wo-
man applied Tor aid at the Rock
Island Welfare association for her
self, husband and three children.
Stammering and abashed, the
woman left the association office
when she was told that the anthem
ITCHY of her story must be verified.
Work was scarce in San Fran
cisco, the woman said, and in Cali
fornia people said employment was
easy to be found in the east. So
the family started east. with Illinois
as their destination. When queS-
toned as to the best spot in Hi
nois, people told the family that
Rock Island and Moline had plenty
: of work, as the pillow companies
were advertising for help.
And so the trip eastward started
on this information. The family
had only enough for train fare for
the parents, the older boy and
girl aged Is and 10 years, and a
little more than $40 to carry them
through. But when buying tickets,
they learned that half-fare must be
paid for the youngest son, aged Z,
and Sc $40 more was spent on train
fare.
The family had brought tents
with them, but the river front was
too damp for camp life and house
rent too high, so a cheap hotel was
secured in Rock Island. They had
been looking fer the work the last

scented one of the cleverest musical
revues of the season. 1t has a
cast OF smart entertainers, headed
by Ann Pennington, a sprightly bit
of femininity who has. won her
place largely through the energy
and enthusiasm she puts into her
work Mr. White promises he is
sending here the original produc-
ton intact, including an elaborate
scenic investure and one of the
handsomest choruses seen in must
cal comedy in years. The revue is
in two acts and 20 scenes You
may know what to expect when you
are told that the lines were written
by Arthur (Bugs) Baer, whose
witticisms you have been reading
in the newspapers for years. The

TOM MOORE IN
HUGHES STORY

It is said Tom Moore fits hap
PLY into his role in the Rupert
Hughes comedy, From the Ground
Up, in which he begins an en-
gagement tomorrow at the Spen-
Ger Square. In this play Moore
begins life as ditch digger in an
excavation for business building.
AS a man with no cares and a
happy disposition that keeps him
either singing or playing his har-
monica the lowly hero arouses the
envy of the builder. The latterS
daughter, too, on visit to the
site of the building, is attracted to
the happy spirit in the ditch. He
gives her his harmonica as a sure
cure for all the ills of the world
She puts bill into his hand and
drives off.
When the building becomes too
great an undertaking for the build
er, and his fortune is lost, the
ditch digger has already risen to a
position of some esponsibility-
Two or three times he encounters
the beautiful daughter, a role
played by Helen Chadwick, but Is
never able to return payment for
his receipt for happiness. Now the
fortunes of the ditch digger and
the formerly wealthy contractor
are reversed, and it is the former
who seeks out the latter.
There are said to be many hui
morous and pathetic episodes in
this Hughes comedy which lead 10
a satisfactory conclusion. The pho
toplay was directed by E. Mason
Hooper In support of MIR. Moore.
besides Miss Chadwick, are De Witt
&c. Jennings, Hardee Kirkland, Oar
rell Foss and Grace Pike.
Many of the scenes were actually
taken in an excavation and the
daring balancing scenes on the grid
ers of a high building are guaran-
teed to produce thrills. The play
will remain at the Spencer Square
four days.

variety house has not yet been def
nitely settled. The Columbia has
always been listed as a junior Or
pheum circuit house-that is, two
programs weekly were presented
at the Davenport house. whereas
houses on the senior circuit book
their acts for solid week. The
houses presenting two bills a week
are not in position to book the
acts of the class of those that are
played in the senior theatres, in
asmuch as higher admission
charge prevails at the latter and
they are able to pay more for their
entertainers. Also there are many
vaudeville stars who refuse to &C
cept engagements of less than a
weeks duration.
Directors of the Orpheum will
make thorough survey Of the To-
cal situation between now and
next fall, and if conditions are
found what they hope for they may
decide TO assign the Columbia to
the senior classification, in which
event the tri-cities will see the
same acts as are offered in the
larger centers. 1t does seem that
Davenport, with patronage from
neighboring cities, ought to sup
port a vaudeville theatre of the
first class.

WHEN MEN WERE AFLAPPERS'
Grandpa Wore corsets and Was SURE
" Some Dude In the Days Of
His Golden Youth.


'~There is so much talk against the
fiapper these days, but history records
that men were the fiappers 80 years
ago." remarks the Gillette (Wyo.)
News. This assault on the dignity and
good fame OF the generation of grand
fathers is bolstered up by certain evil
dence: 'They creased their hair, wore
corsets and otherwise made themselves
look fine Twenty years ago they wore
stiff-bosomed shirts, silk belts SIX
inches wide, parted their long hair in
the middle and wore neckties that
pulled out In front like the breast of a
pouter pigeon"
Reading further in sartorial history,
It will be found that at one period the
shoulders of mems coats were heavily
padded to make the veriest weakling
appear an athlete. 1t may even be sus-
pected that the sterner sex gave up
wearing breeches because so many did
not possess the proper shaped leg.
Airing Of the facts brought up by this
Wyoming editor has the benefit of in
ducing 4 better spirit OF humility. II
serves to remind also that the fashion
Of one age almost invariably appears
grotesque to the next, and suggests
that the present modes are but trans
itory, being destined to give way to
something perhaps. worse, perhaps bet
ter, but surely different.

A Glimpse Of Mari.

The planet Mars, which drew lit
tie nearer to the earth on June IS, seen
through the telescope is to the novice
a somewhat disappointing object. A
wise astronomer never allows visitor
to look at Mars at all, If he can help
1t. For the casual visitor never realizes
that the published drawings Of the
planet represent the very most that
can be seen at the most exceptional
moment. In fact, the trained observer
cannot see per cent of the whole for
80 per cent Of the time. But the novice
invariably expects to see the spider
webs of canals and he is-invariably-
disappointed.

MUST HARMONIZE WITH PIANO
and Defects In Locomotives Has
Been Devised.

A piano seems to be out of place
In a locomotive workshop, yet it has
been found to play a very useful part.
There Is no better way of discovering
cracks and defects in the different
parts of the machinery than by strik-
ing the metal with hammer and then
comparing the noise of the vibrations
with the piano notes. The man oper-
ating the piano must have trained
ear for music, seeing that it Is his
business to listen for the slightest dis
cords. II the metal rings harmonious
ly with the piano note all is well; the
least flaw will result in discord. De-
fects that are hardly to be noticed by
the ordinary method Of hammering are
at once evident when the piano test is
employed. A locomotive that rings
true all over. each note which it
yields synchronizlng properly with the
same note as given by the piano, is
certainly fit to take its place In ser
vice on the railway.-Scientific Amer

PROFITEERS NOW
THE ONLY PATRONS
OF MOSCOW TAXIS

MOSCOW, Dec. 23.-Automobile
taxicabs operated by private owners
have appeared in Moscow, but the
tariff is 50 high that on several oc-
casions the government has issued
warnings to the public to beware of
extortion. The street cars, about the
cheapest thing in Moscow, are al
ways crowded to such an extent that
foreign visitors never consider riding
in them. The carfare is now 100000
Soviet rubles, or about two cents.
The four wheeled drosky. drawn
by one or two horses, which never
ceased operation even during the re-
volution and the sleigh when snow
is on the ground, continues to be the
most popular way of getting about
the city. The drosky drivers insist
upon fare about fifteen times more
than the street car charge. The taxi
cabs are patronized chiefly by specu-
lators who are interested in daily
transactions of billions or trillions of
rubles, and who care little about
what they spend.

WACO Wins FROM
ABILENE FRIDAY
in CHAMP GAME

Although Abilene exhibited bet
ter brand Of team work than Waco
and made IL first downs as against
the nine made by Waco, the accurate
drop kicking Of Boody Johnson and
his stellar work in carrying the ball
won the state high school football
championship for that city by score
of 13 to 10.
The game was played at Fort
Worth and was witnessed by rec
ord crowd. Waco showed an inability
20 stop the plunging backs Of the
Abilene team, but managed to secure
the ball when Abilene neared their
own goal line. Johnson made the
touchdown for Waco. kicked goal for
the point after touchdown. and drop
kicked two field goals. Guitar made
Abilene's touchdown.
This gives Waco the undisputrd
championship of the InterScholastic
league in football The Waco team
won the right to meet Abilene by de-
feating Corpus Christi "a to z, and
Temple lost to Abilene by 13 to 3
score the sarle dav. Abilene's heavy
line proved too much for Waco dur
ing most of the game. the Waco
backs succeeding in going down the
field only twice one of which times
the team, carried the ball over.
