AT THE RYLANDER.

Probably never before in history
of moving pictures has film been
made which entailed such a vast
amount of detail as Foolish Views"
which is now showing at the Ry-
lander theater.
Monte Carlo, which the outside
world knows chiefly for its sumptu-
Gus gambling casino was reproduced
in Universal City, California, so ac-
'curately that anyone who did not
know the picture was made in Cali
fornia would surely thing it was the
real Monte Carlo.
One scene in the picture called for
work on set representing a suite
in the Hotel de Paris. Not only
was the furniture and decorations
reproduced with absolute accuracy.
but even the crest of the hotel was
embroidered on the towels, bed
spreads and other linens.
In another scene, representing
view of Monte Carlo from the sea,

ture from thcs Mediterranean. To
complete this scene, eighty cypress
trees were transplanted from Del
Monte to Monterey, California. And
that was no small undertaking either.
Another thing that makes this pic
ture so realistic, was the care with
which the cast was picked. Each
member was selected for his or her
fitness to portray in q life like man.
ner, the role they were to play. Ex-
tensive search was necessary by the
casting director to secure these diff
ferent foreign types as they are
very scarce and hard to obtain in Los
Angeles.
When all of the detail work that
entered into the making Foolish
Wives" is taken into consideration,
one can easily understand why it
took over 18 months to complete it.
And when you see the picture, it will
not be necessary for anyone to tell
you that it cost well over million
dollars, as it speaks for itself.

THE REAL REASON

Mr.. r. r.. Helms OF Cneswpld writes
a letter to tho Philadelphia Record
in which he essays TO prove that day
light saving is a misnomer, and shows
that none OF our daylight Is really
saved by the so-called plan.
Considered from the view OF actual
conservation this Is true. We do not
save daylight" IN the sense of storing
it away for future use. That is an
Impossible performance.
The real reason for the adoption
of a formal plan OF what is called
daylight saving" is plain. 1t was to
secure united action towards a much
desired end.
That purpose il TO secure an ad-
ditional hour Of daylight. during a
given period, to be devoted TO recrea-
ton and other matters aside from the
routine OF daily labor. That purpose
Is attained by getting up an houi
earlier In the morning and retiring
an hour earlier at night, and conform
ing all our arrangements to this tenn.
| porary change.
That is all there is to our so-callet
daylight saving" although some pro
fess TO be able to see important eco
nomic values in the plan. But the rea

Aside from the purely political
events two matters demand attention
In Tuesdays primary In Indiana.
One Of these IL that DIR. Jesse
whose fame. n any. has
failed to penetrate the borders of his
home State--came out second to ex-
Governor Rolston for the nomination
on tho Democratic ticket to the
United Stntes Senate. DIR. Sanders, II
10 reported, lacked the prominence Of
Daniel Bimins. n well-known lawyer.
who ran third and yet. on beer and
wine ticket, no outdid his apparently
abler opponent.
The other instance concerned the
Seventh Indiana district, where Jo-
seph Turk, liberal on the liquor is-
sue, was reported running ahead of
his dry" opponent by n majority OF
virtually three to one.
Ono thing appears to be demon
strated by various recent elections.
among which the case OF DIR. Sanders
is rather striking proof, and TINT
is that the people who are absolute
ly opposed to the present interpre-
tation OF prohibition and who will
vote their protest above and beyond
oil other issues arc numerous enough
In many Congressional districts to
swing tho battle az between the Re-
publican and the Democratic nomi-
nees.
That was, of course. the game that
the Anti-Seloon League played. The
League corraled In practically every
| Congressional district a group of
voters who 80 detested "the brewers
and dlstillers' that the members
thereof could be counted on to vote
for prohibition regardless OF other
issues. IL a candidate was bone
dry" that was sufficient; he got the
solid vote OF this group; and this
group in each Congressional district
was usually enough. when added on
to the regular party vote, TO elect the

pose to play the same game; and un-
less there is n curious change In tbs

OUR RIGHTS IN EGYPT.

There seems no ground for fearing
difficulties with England on account of
the reservation OF existing American
rights OF extraterritoriality In Egypt,
which was appended to our govern
ment's recognition last week of Egyp-
tian independence. Technically the
reservation was necessary because
these rights depend on n treaty with
Turkey made In 1890, when Egypt was
a Turkish province. In the negotis-
tons with Egyptian leaders under
taken by Lord Miner for the abolition
OF the British protectorate, Il was at
FIRST understood that England would
furnish the guarantees which will
enable foreign powers To rellnquish
their capitulntory rights" Twelve
other powers besides the United States
and Great Britain hold such rights in
| Egypt, and two or three of the smaller
ones readily agreed to turn over the
protection of their citizens I'm Egypt e
Great Britain.
| In August OF last year. however. the
United States refused. The Egyptian,
Opposed the arrangement which oblig
| ed Egypt To give certain guaranteed
| to England before obtaining BritiHl
recognition of Egyptian independence
| But in February tho British suddonl,
changed their policy and recognized
Egyptian independence. leaving IN,
Anglo Egyptian arrangements To-
further negotiation. In announcing
