A happy motion picture story end

or an embrace.
That is one of the unique dstinc
tons claimed for THE Rustic of Silk
Herbert Brenon's Paramount pic
ture featuring Betty Compson and
Conway Tearle, which will be ths
feature of the kll at the Palace
theater for three days, commencing
Monday next.
The story, adapted from Cosmc
Hamiltons novel by saba Cowan and
Ouida Bergere, centers about a hum
BILE English girl who falls in love with
a. great British statesman who Is al.
ready married. The girl, serving the
statesman's wife adores the husband
from afar.
BY accident the man learns of the
girls's love. Unhappy with his wife
and disheartened by the course of
political events, ne offers to get a
divorce and marry the girl
But a crisis in the affairs of state
requires all of his attention. II he
resigns, chaos threatens to enguIf the
government. The girl. because she
loves him sacrifices her love and
sends him back to fight his cause
against overwhelming odds Her
compensation is found in the fact that
the man who loves her faces his
duty because he loves her. He wins
MS night, but for the time being. at
least, he fails to win the girl who
spurred him, on to victory. r,
Unlike so many screen plays of the
day, The Rustic of Silk" does not
introduce an episode five or ten
years later showing the principsls
happily married. It ends as real life
stories so often end-in banpinexs
achieved through sacrifice, but with
promise of happiness to both in the
future.
The vaudeville bill will nresent
four good acts featuring the return
engagement of Ann Suter, the very
clever singing Coincidence who was
very popular during her stay here
only six weeks ago. This young lady
IS a very talented artist and easily
carries the audience with her pleasing
personality. Other acts will include
A. .. Duncan, who offers a very en-
pertaining novelty; Whalen and
McShane, a pair of comedy song and
talk entertainers; and Mayo Leslie
d Co. who will be well liked in an
excellent offering.
The Sunday night program will pre-
sent double photoplay features offer

Highest Point in Southeastern Asia
Covers Crater That Is by No
Means Extinct

Mount Demavend, the highest peak
in southwestern Asia, is an extinct
volcano 90 miles northeast of Teheran.
1t has an altitude of 1880 feet, and
is the Hottest peak Of the Elburz
mountain range, which extends 500
miles along the southern shores of the
Caspian sea and into Khorasan.
Mount Demavend towers high above
the surrounding mountains, which
average about 1900 feet in height,

the series of ridges which separate
the semi-tropical region in the Cas-

and the arid plateau 1000 feet In alti-

Pills and salts give temporary relief

Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature it

In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient.
Doctors prescribe Nujol because it
acts like this natural lubricant and

Mr.. Mouse had to confess he never

Mr.. Mouse did not mind in the least

make his home in the church, so he
ran into the cupboard and that was
the last he saw of Miss Mousie for
week.
But Miss Mousie saw him every day
and at the end of the week she had de-

the husband of so refined creature

was an aristocratic church mouse and

mere food.

name Frederick. 1t signifies peace
ruler" and comes originally from the
old Freyr of Teutonic mythology.
Freyr meant "free", which is loosely
translated to 'loye of peace. The
idea was personified into a god Of very
high rank, who later was disintegrated
into a brother and sister, called Freyr
and Freya.
Freyr named the sixth day Of the
week and presided over love and mar
riage and drove over battlefelds in a
chariot drawn by panthers to conduct
the slain to their appointed places in
ValhaIla. While Freyr was progressing
by direct route into Frederick, the
feminine form was slower in becoming

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"HOOSIER"

WHILE Indiana is known
Wv throughout the country as
the "Hoosier State" the origin
of the term 'hoosier" is lost
somewhere in the strange
changes which came over the
English language as spoken in
this country during the early
part of the last century. When
the number of uneducated per-
sons and the different national
tiles which comprised the
United States at this time is re-
membered, it is not strange that
some words slipped into the col
Ioquial tongue without proper
parentage.
Etymologists, however, are
about equally divided as to
whether "hoosier" is a contrac-
ton of the phrase who's thereT
commonly used as a challenge
among the early settlers of the
Middle West or whether ii comes
from "Husher," frequently
heightened to "hoosher," nick
name for the lumbermen who
were skilled In hushing or still
ing their opponents during an
encounter. The word "whocser"
appears In American literature
as early as 1859 and appears TO
be derived from the Scotch
"whush" or whisper" possibly
with the added American mean
ing connected with the lumber
men, many Of whom settled in
the section now known as In
diana.
