g.s Screen
Az RYLANDER.

Ever since Jack London created
the demand for outdoor animal sto-
ries with ''1hc Call Of the Wild
and the motion picture has become
a general form o. entertainment,
fans have been as.Ang Why tie pro-
ducers of motion plc.ures should not
bend their energies to satisfying this
demand on the screen. They have
satisfied it and done it plentifuly
in The Silent Call, production DIS
tributed by Associated First National
Pictures, Inc, which comes to the
Rylander Monday and Tuesday.
The story is one that will satisfy
the heart of every one VINO feels IN
him the unquenchable Juggling of ma
ture There's vista of mountains
upon mountains. There's an abund-
ance Of outdoor life. There's ro-
nance and action and finally =
there's Flash. Flash, we are told, is
d Belgian police hound with a meri-
forum Red Cross service record who

only after competitors had been elm
mated.
The story brings out the dual
nature Of maintained dog and wolf
in the canine. Clark Moran, the
hero Of the picture, arouses The en-
nifty OF the Brent by saving Flash,
chained to posi-, from a beating
at the latter's hands. The primeval
streak in the dog cropping out, he
tears himself loose from civilization
and mingles with the wolves Of the
hills, selecting as a mate, Nayhee,
full-bfooded wolf.
The acting of this canine star is
almost uncanny as he jumps to
his cues, bristling at the sight of
Ash Brent, the man he is supposed
to hate, and bringing together
Clark Moran and the girl of his
choice. And after all there's a moral
for the dog in it, because he finds, in
his brute analysis, that man is the
inevitable t-e to which he must bind
himself by nature.

CENTRAL MEN
ARE QUIzZED
Circular Letter Sets Forth OfFic-
ials' Wish To Avoid
Strike

Copies of a circular letter address
ed to "The Shop Employees of the
Central of Georgia Railway" have
been received in Americas, and much
of the matter contained therein is Of
interest to the public, as we'll as the
employees and railroad officials. The
letter is signed by W. A. Winburn,
president of the Central and relates
wholly to the strike vote now being
taken by schop employees in depart
ments affected by the recent decis-
ions of the United States Railroad
Labor Board. The letter follows
1T has come to my notice that
strike ballots have been sent to this
railroad and that you have been re-
quested to vote on the following
questions
H. Whether YOU will accord to the
railroads the right to have piece
work done in their shops; also
whether you will accord to the rail
roads the right to contract their shop
plants TO outsiders.
2. Whether You will abide by
rules 6, 10, II, IA, Is, 46 and III
contained in Decision 222 and Ad-
dendum thereof of the United
States Railroad Labor board.
80. Whether 70 Twill abide by
United States Labor board decision
No. 1896 providing for a reduction
in your pay July /, 1922.
piece work has never been con-
sidered on this railroad, and neither
has the contracting of our shop
plants, facts, no doubt, fully known
to you. Therefore, under these cir
cumstances, you cannot be expected
TO do otherwise than to cast your
ballot against strike on the Cen
trail of Georgia railway on this ques-
ton.
"On the second question relating
to the seven rules mentioned, you
know that five of these have been
agreed to by the management Of this
company and your committee. The
only two remaining were those rela-
tive to being sent out on the road
for work and employees regularly as
signed to road service. Every single
rule that has to do with the inner
workings Of shop has been agreed
upon by the management and your
committee, 1t is fact, admitted by
your representatives, that you have
better agreement on rules, and
working conditions than the en-
ployes of any other railroad in this
country. Therefore, there is no sane
reason why you should vote for
strike on the Central of Georgia
railway on the second question.
Since December %, 1917, your
compensation has been fixed entirely

you are, in the prosperity of the Cen
tral OF Georgia railway, which appar-
entity is just beginning to return. +
am sure you believe with me that we
owe duty to the public to render
uninterrupted transportation service.
also that we owe a duty to the com
pany which furnishes US the oppor-
tunity to make living for ourselves
and our families. In performing that
duty we shall build up that which
will give us permanent employment
and make our future secure. if We
fail to discharge that obligation il
can only result in brining SUFFERING

Il appeal to you in this emergency
to prove, by voting against the pro-
posed strike, that railway strike
vote is not, as has been frequently
charged, a mere formality, about
which the men themselves do not ex-
erclse their own judgment and dis
erection.
Il ask you not to cast your ballot
until you have given consideration
to both sides of this question, and if
you do that 7 am sure you will reach
the right conclusion.

this matter to your attention. l trust

A n additional investment OF
~ $25.000, 100000 in the rail-
road systems of this country
is required to handle the estimated
increased passenger travel and
freight movement in the next fifty
years. said Howard Elliott, chair
man Of the Northern Pacific Rail-

suggested a ten year holiday in
the ceaseless investigation of the
transportation question so that
the systems may be developed un-
hampered and unmolested.
Estimating the population at
250.000.000 fifty years hence, Mr..
Elliott gave some startling figures
on the growth of the country dur
ing the last half century. Manu-
featuring materials increased in
value from $1,000. 100000 to s14.-
900. .000.00O in 1914. and finished
products from less than $4,000, ,000,-

new school system in the orphanages
"a system which embraces quarter @.
a million children. The number of chill
dren in homes and colonies has in
creased with remarkable rapidly, but
the absence of sufficient financial re-
sources and the impossibility of finding
sufficient food have brought this work
20 n standstill In this respect. the con-
dition in the famine districts is pc
culiarly tragic. for nothing at all can be
done there in the way OF education, and
we have had to close all our children's
asylums intended for that purpose.
THE revolution we have accomplished
in the matter of education is principally
ID be found in the labor schools. We
have also made a great change in the
normal schools. but despite the great
number of training colleges we have
opened, there is a very great lack OF
teachers in Russia.
80 far as higher education went, we
did not confine ourselves to keeping the
old established colleges going. We
opened large number of new univer-
sites and polytechnics. Some of these
have taken root and are growing-for
example, the Ural and Smolensk uni
versities. Others have failed to take
root and have been closed. In those
higher schools a number of workers
'facultats" were founded, and no less
than 10000 students OF proleterian or
peasant origin have taken advantage OF
them.
Our political enlightenment depart
ment began a crusade for the abolition
of illiteracy. with the result that nearly
100000 adult iliterates are now lit

started a whole network OF cottage
reading rooms, perambulating Libraries,
Soviet schools and agitational schools.
I'm regard to science we have not
only helped Russian science to survive
these difficult times but we have opened
a number Of new scientific institutions.
among others a Roentgen Cor X-ray)
institute and radium institute.
with regard to our museums and
picture galleries. nothing has been stolen
from them, despite the absurd tales that
have sometimes appeared In the foreign
press. They have, it is true. been COM
pletely rearranged. but arranged far bet
ter than before, for now we have well
informed and competent enthusiasts
looking after them, and not decayed
courtiers of the Car. Moreover, we
have greatly increased the number oil

moving from the palaces of the imperial

ceeded in preserving the great theatres
of imperial times and continuing them
at such a high level that strangers like
Mr. Wells. Mr.. Bertram Russell and
others who. have come here have been
amazed. And at the same time, basing
ourselves. OF course. on the old founda-
tions of art, we have developed among

preston which may come in time to be
