VOICE. BY WIRELESS
REUNlTES FRIENDS

The marvellous radiophone in use
aboard the steamship America, of
the United states Lines. has resulted
in the re-establishment of q friend
ship that was severed ten years ago.
The parties to the reunion are Capt.
William Rind. of the America. and
William J. Cookie, Of Brooklyn, N. y.
The event occurred upon the last
arrival in New York of the Amer
lea. Captain Rind was sitting in
his office when a steward entered
with a card bearing the name Of
Cookie. After an exchange of
greetings Captain Rind remarked
that II seemed good to hear his
old friends voice after the lapse
of years.
Cookie laughed and told Captain
Rind that he had heard his voice
the day before and that through
hearing it had been able to locate
him.
1t seems that Cookie is quite a
radiophone fan, and has a powerful
receiving OUTFIT installed in his
home in Brooklyn, around which
the family gather each night to
hear the concerts which are broad
casted. 49,
They had heard one concert, and
his son was tuning up the set for
another station when Cookie sud
denly, stopped him and listened in
tently. His family looked at him.
astonished, and asked him what
was the matter. He listened for a
few minutes more, then exclaimed,
It's Rind. I'm sure of It,"
All listened and heard another
voico ask some questions about the
weather. Then the first voice an
swered, stating that the 8. s. A mer-
lea was nearing Ambrose Channel
Lightship and would dock about 10
o'clock the following morning.
The next morning Cookie hur-
ried to the dock to meet the Amer
lea to md out whether It all really
happened or whether 1t was only
imagination on his part. He had
overheard the telephone converse
ton which the captain always holds
with the ONCE of the United States
Lines on nearing port.
This is the second renewal Of
old friendships which has fallen
to the lot Of Captain Rind within a
short time. A while ago. as q
result of his talk over the radio
phone being overheard, the cap
tain was greeted upon his arrival
in New York by a planter from
the Hawaiian Islands whom he had
not seen nor heard from in twenty
years.

The Value of Music.

HR. BARNES, new director of music in Dis
- trict of Columbia schools proposes to in
troduce system which will enable the average
eighth grade student to sing hymn at sight
This will be considerable accomplishment be-
cause children, at present. learn very little about
music in school, They learn to sing by listening
to other people-not from teachers. Consequently
the average woman who has not taken
special courses in music knows nothing about the
subject-cannot even read notes. Most folks can
sing after fashion by ear-but they are incom-
petent to pick up a new tune from the printed
page.
We wish the director well. 1t is as es-
scntial that the youth of America know music as
that they know Latin. The former will give them
more enjoyment, more benefit and more OF prac.
tical value.

VILLAGE OF SWISS WOMEN
Men Live Only. Temporarily at Cham
perry Because Of Constant Lack
Of Work.

The village Of Champery, in, Switzer-
land, canton Of Valais, from which
the ascent Of the Dent de Midi sis
started, according to the Berliner Nor
compost, has two claims to fame; Its
beautiful location and the, fact that 1t
is inhabited most of the time exclusive
lv by women. Only a few of1iciats=be-
long to the strong SEX whose repre-.
sentatives, although natives Of the.
village, stay there only @temporarily. !
The reason f0f this strange phenome4
non is that there is no work for the
men. The little agricultural, labor re-
.quired for the poor acres Of the, sur=
rounding land IS performed by the
women. The men Of Champery are
therefore compelled to look for work
abroad. =
The women are beautiful and strong.
They wear neither skirt nor corset, but
breeches and jerkin, while red hand-
kerchief' wound around the. head
serves as hat. The young girls
amuse themselves with dancing, Of
which they are particularly fond, and
with skiing. The old women indulge
passionately in smoking, and fill their
pipes with self-raised herbs. ;4sss

my BOY" AT REX THEATER
OPENING NEXT SUNDAY

my Boy" an Associated First
National attraction which is sched-
uled to start three day run at the
Rex theater is one of the most fas-
cinating stories ever shown on the
screen.
The star of the production is
Jackie Coogan, made famous through
his work with Charles Chaplin in
1.-THE Kid" and as star in his own
right in "Peck's Bad BoyI''
Pathos and humor have been skill
fully blended by the director into
a production that grips the heart
and compels one to return to the
theater to see the picture again.
As an orphan, who has arrived
in New York friendless and home
less, Jackie makes an appealing
figure. The story, written especially
for him, furnishes this little star with
a part that fits him to perfection
and allows him full sway to demon
strate that he possesses exceptional
histrionic ability.
Claude Dillingwater and Mathil-
da Brundage are in the supporting
cast.

theater Thursday for run Of two
days. Constance Talmadge takes the
title role in story written especial
ly for her by John Emerson and An

u famous Broadway beauty chorus
is shown both in the act of rehears-
ing for the annual review and in the
theater on the opening night
"Polly of the Follies,' has been ac-
claimed by critics who have seen it
to be among the best of Miss Tai
madges pictures.
In "Polly of the Follies" Miss Tai
madge goes through the entire stock
of a customers store. A country girl
at the start, she changes to Dutch
ptantaloon costume for a. novelty
act. Later she appears in a Roman
garb as part of charity perfor-
nance, The harem scene comes in
after she has entered the famous

HOW FIRST LOCK WAS MADE
Development Of the Key Reveals an
:. Interesting Story Of Ages Long
Passed Away - y ! -

The modern lock Is a development
Of the horizontal bar placed across
the inside Of the door. This was a
good substitute for lock when one
remained inside, and to adjust it so
that it would fall into place when the
door was closed from the outside was
comparatively simple, but to lift the
bar from the outside when one wished
to enter, was the problem. This was
accomplished by, fitting hole into the
door post, through which something
designed to lift the bar was inserted.
This was the first keyhOle and the
instrument used In lifting the bar
was the first key, says the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle.
The simplest idea for preventing
the bar from sliding was to bore a
hole In the top of the bar. which
would also penetrate the staple on
which it rested, and drop peg into
the hole through the staple. The I'M
locking problem could be accom-
plished by any instrument which would
lift the peg and permit the bar to
slide back. Then If a series Of pegs
were used, all of which had to be
lifted, unlocking would be more diff
ficult. In our modern locks, the pegs
have simply been replaced by "tum-
blers' on which the key acts in the
same way. The key originally had
wooden pegs fastened to correspond
with the pegs holding the bar in place
on the inside, and these pins developed
into the notches which are on our
modern keys. AS there were no
pockets in those days the other end
of the key was made into ring and
worn on the finger. That is why the
keys Of today usually have ring at
the end-just relic of the past.

Refused to Die.

A New Brunswick man was setting
up a portable saw mill In July, 1918.
He noticed a lot of small rabbits run
ming about the logs every day. One
day he observed a very tiny fellow
nearly dead. He picked 1t up, found it
covered with blue ticks and that it had
one of its paws crushed. Some one
must have trampled on it. He picked
the ticks all off and amputated the
little paw as we'll as he knew how.
Not being very skillful in that line he
had little hopes of it being success
full operation. After cutting small V
out of the extreme tip of its ear he
put it down in little clover patch
thinking it would die; but every day
it gradually improved until at the end
Of two months it disappeared. This
winter while cutting wood mile from
where he found the rabbit, he noticed
tracks in the snow. Another man set
some wire snares and caught the rab-
bit that had had its foot amputated.
It was quite dead when found, but had
grown to good size.

CLOSED DOORS" AT THE ELKO
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW

No glycerine tears for Alice Cal
houn, the Vitagraph star, who will
be seen at the Elko theater tonight
and Friday. Realism is her aim.
IF I can't cry naturally said
Alice to her director, II won't cry
at all. If you wish me to shed plen-
ty of real tears you can help me a
great deal by playing the talking
machine"
She named number of records
that always make her cry and Dr.
rector George V. Seyffertitz sent
the property boy after one of them.
A victrola was installed near the set
and the record started, 1t was but
an Instant before Alice began to
sniffle and soon real tears were
rolling down her cheeks.
Miss Calhoun is naturally emotion
al and her sympathies ARE nasily
played upon. In "Closed Doors" she
has heavy dramatic role. In the
earlier scenes she is a young girl
light hearted and care free. The
story covers period of several
years and the star is given oppor-
tunity to show her ability to mature
before the camera. She plays the
lead at the ages of fourteen, eight
cen and twenty-five. The story is
one that is sure to hold the interest
and has in addition to many dramatic
scenes, a vein of humor running
throughout it.
International News Weekly and a
Comedy complete the program,
