Nothing so catches the romantic fancy as the broad forests and tow ering peaks of the northwest, and no man is so able to catch the dramatic lives of the men and women of this land as James Oliver Curwood. And while Curwood has written many stories and numbers of them have been screened for the delight of mill lions. none of them has ever excelled the achievement of "The Valley of Silent Men" the special attraction at the Strand theatre this week.
 Alma Rubens and Lew Cody head the cast. Miss Rubens Is one of the screen beauties, and hers is the beauty that does not try to stand alone, because she backs up her pull chritude with finished acting. No role in recent years has brought

SLEEPING TORCHES

From the DeSlSner.
 Sleeping porches should be built on the second floor of the house. Such location insures greater privacy and lessens possible annoyance from insects and odors.
 The sleeping porch should be open on three sides, but screened in sum mer with rust proof screens and pro- vided with double windows for win ter The floor should be treated to avoid leakage of rain below. Stone, cement, wood, tile and brick have all been used successfully as flooring. Canvas and linoleum are good floor coverings, as they are practically waterproof and easily kept clean. The floor should slant to one edge to drain. and If directly exposed to the rain. extra wooden aslats above the floor will expedite drying.
 An ordinary cot bed is the most practical stationary bed for a sleep ing porch. A water proof spread should be part of the equipment. as should also the invaluable slssping bag for cold weather.

 As Miss Rubens draws, her Marette Is a flame of beauty in the frozen north. A girl who draws men and who holds them. A girl to be loved, a thing of fire and beauty. It is a role which Miss Rubens fits per fectly.

MYSTERY Fer MANY YEARS
Fascination In Stories Told Of the
Lost Son Of the Unfortunate
Marie Antoinette.

One Of the several personages who
cropped up to claim the French
throne as the lost dauphin after the
gullotining of Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette, was an American, one
Eleozor Williams, missionary among
the Indians.
Williams produced alleged evidence
showing that he had been brought
from France as u child Of 10 years
and placed in tie keeping Of an Indian
halfbreed at Tconderoga, N. Y.
The American "dauphin" never at
tempted TO gain official recognition
but his followers put out flood Of
literature Several new books on
williams and his claims have been
published quite recently.
The question of the lost dauphin
has had France guessing for more
than 100 years, or from that day in
179J when the mutilated body of a

Give Credit to Egyptian.

No one knows who wrote the first
book, but the claim is made that the
worlds first great work came from
the pen of an Egyptian named Athletes.
1t was history of his own nation
written in pip B. @. The Latins,
who excelled in literature long before
any of their neighbors, had thought
of the publishing business, were gall
liant enough to ascribe the inspiration
to Europa, daughter Of Agenor, king
Of Phoencia, who lived in 1494 B. G.
Just what they wrote under her infu-
ence in those days is not recorded. 1t
is certain that Cadmus brought Pboe-
nician letters into Greece in 14S3 B. c.,
and there is enough evidence of pub
lished books during these early days
to lead one TO the conclusion that writ
ing as a business or an art dates back
into the earlier era Of Egyptian and
Phoenclan civilization.
