lations, despite that she drifts into
indiscretions that display total
disregard of her marriage VOWS.
The temptations of the beautiful
Zoe BlundelI. played by Miss Young,
married to a man whose only use
for his mate is as a tool for the
entertainment of his friends and a
stepping stone to his climb on the
ladder of worldly success, are such
as to awaken heartfelt sympathy.
When Zoe, abused and neglected.
seeks satisfaction of her emotional
nature in another's affections, you
can hardly blame her course, par
ticularly when her husband flies to
another woman for diversion. The
brave efforts of the family friend,
Peter Mottram, to effect reconcil-
iation, are touching. His words
strike fire in the heart of every
lover. He argues that there is a
shoal in mid-channel that resem-
bles marriage. None of US can es-
cape it. We've got to go through
it. 1t all depends on wind and
tide. If only husband and wife
would meet each other half way,
the danger would be over and they
would sail on the waters of mar
ried life as cheerfully as when they
first stepped on the gangplank.
Miss kimball has excellent support
in the telling of the story, the chief
roles being in the hands of J. Frank
Glendon, Edward NJ. Kimball, Ber-
tram Grassby, Eileen Robinson,
Helene Sullivan and Katherine
Griffith.

WOMAN NOT AN
EXPERIMENT ON
SCHOOL BOARDS
Appeal to Voters Made In Behalf
Of Two Candidates at Tomor.
rows Election.

The committee in charge of the
campaign OF Mrs. E. B. kreis and
Mrs. H. W. Ward for membership
in the Rock Island board Of edu-
cation, to be voted upon tomorrow
has issued the following statement
to the press:
I'm order that the voters of Rock
Island might not misconstrue the
movement which promotes Mes
danes H. W. Ward and E. B. Kreis
to gain membership in the board OF
education, this statement is pub
lished in their behalf.
1T seems that there are some
people in the city of Rock Island
who look upon the membership in
the board of, education as a prero-
gatiye of men only. They forget
that this field has been entered by
women a long time prior to women
being granted general suffrage.
Every up-to-date city in this state,
both large and small, has women
among the members of its board of
education. AS matter of fact, the
city OF Rock Island is about the
only city of its size which does not
have a woman a sa member of its
board of education
Women of this town in putting
forth the present candidates as pro-
posed members of the board of edu-
cation are only exercising a natural
and legal right that properly be-
longs to them. They feel that they
should be represented in this, i'm
portant board The mothers of this
city, as they do everywhere, occupy
a close and important relation in
the training and education of their
sons and daughters. 1t is only
proper and fair, therefore, that
they have a mother on the board
of education.
The argument is advanced that
to defeat the men now aspiring to
membership in the board of educa-
ton is to destroy the representa-
ton of all parts of the city in the
board. AS a matter of fact all
parts of the city are not now repre-
scented by the board as it is now
constituted. The welfare and pro-
per education of the children is the
vital interest everyone must have
in our schools and that interest can
be manifested by one living in one
part of the city as well as in an
other.
The women of this city have no
apology to offer in the candidacy
of Mesdames H. W. Ward and E. B.
kreis. Both by education and train
ing they are pre-eminently qualified
for such membership. They have
the time and ability to answer and
serve every need of the position.
Mrs. Ward has had the benefit of a
college education and the expert
ence of a school teacher. Mrs.
kreis has for a great many years
been engaged in real estate and in
surance. She knows, therefore. real
estate values and the contracting
and building business. The voters
Will make no mistake in electing
these women to membership in the
board of education in the city of
Rock Island"

SMALL PRICE Is

BEST value for so cents that

AIDE Provides Good Fun.
George AIDE gives you a good
time in his Our Leading Citizens,
the picture in which Thomas Neigh
an is being starred at the Fort Arm
strong. AIDE has been keeping
America laughing for many years
with his magazine and newspaper
writings, and he has given US some
clever stage plays, and now he has
invaded the movies with his humor,
for which all of us who like pic
lures ought to be duly thankful.
AIDE can get a Tough out of a
crutch. He will take the most com
monplace incident and turn it over
so that you will see fun in it that
you would never suspect was there.
In Our Leading Citizen" AIDE has
not attempted to startle or mystify
with a plot. He has simply endeay-
ored to entertain and he does that
in full measure. He has taken the
small town., with its social and po-
litical and business riyalries,' as
the scene of his story, and he has
presented numerous characters with
which you are familiar. You may
say that some of his characters are
overdrawn. Perhaps they are, but
the playwright must reach for the
theatrical effect, or his work may
fall fiat. In other words, AIDE real
ICES that the American public en-
joys little hokum, and he does not
withhold it from Our Leading Citi-
zen. Meighan gives US a new an
gle on his acting talent in the role
AIDE has provided for. him, but he
can't conceal the Meighan person
atty no matter what role is given
him, and it is this personality that
holds him close to the cinema fan.
Meighan is always manly and hu-
man and unaffected. His natural
ness is his greatest asset. He fits
comfortably into the part of Our
Leading Citizen" and is given fine
support by Theodore Roberts, Lois
Wilson and others. The picture is
well directed and the photography
is good Our Leading Citizen
will remain at the Fort Armstrong
through Wednesday. The program
also includes Billy Bevan in Gym
nasium jim, Mack Sonnet COM
edy, a news reel and scenic reel
and the orchestra provides a de-
lightful medley of popular airs
Manager Cummings has provided at
tractive scenic and lighting effects
and there is every reason to believe
that the Fort Armstrong will be a
popular rendezvous for amusement
seekers during the grotto conven-
ton. In order. to accommodate an
ticipated increased patronage the
Fort Armstrong will have a con-
tinuous show Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday from IL a. m. to II p. N.
