HAND SAUNDERS
PLAYING At WEIR

Featured by an unusually original
ard interesting story, and Astounding
in strong dramatic situations, Fred
Thomson's newest F. B. o. production
Lone Hand Saunders" opens at the
Weir theater for Friday and Satur-'
day showings.
Continuing Thomson's methods of
getting away from the usual hack
neyed Western plots, the theme is
not only novel, but is well worked
out, and steadily builds up the inter-
est to the powerful climax.
The tale revolves around a noted
surgeon, whose crippled sister dies
only a few hours before he returns
from Europe with the technique, of
an operation that would have cured
her. Embittered, he forswears his
profession and goes West, where he
Is known only as reticent and
gloomy ranch owner. A small Grip
pied boy, whom he rescues from death
in the desert and later from q burning
building, proves to be the redeeming
force that brings the surgeon back to
his rightfnl place in the world.
Besa Flowers. who played the lead
With Thomson in "Hands Across the
Border" again is lovely and delight
ful as the heroine, and the work Of
Billy Butts as the boy is splendid.
Frank Hagney, William COPYRIGHT,
Bill Dyer and Albert Priscoe furnish
first-class support, and Reaves Eas-
on's remarkably fine direction has
much to do with the picture being
well balanced and maintaining its in
terest. Del Andrews wrote the adap-
tation and continuity from Frank M.

The Man Who Counts

1t is not the critic who counts; not
the man who points out how the
strong man stumbled. or where the
doer Of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the
man who Is actually in the arena |;
whose face is marred by dust and
sweat and blood; who strives valiant
ly; who errs and comes short again
and again, because there is no effort
without error and short coming; who
does actually strive to do the deeds !;
who knows the great enthusiasm, the
great devOtiOns, spends himself in a
worthy cause; who at the best knows
In the end the triumph Of high
achievement and who at the worst,
il he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, SO that his place shall never
be with those cold and, timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat

Fauorite Chinese Dish

One of the forms of eggs of which
the Chinese people are very fond Is
the so-called ''tea eggs" To prepare
these, fresh hens eggs are hard
boiled, the shells cracked and the egg
then cooked for hours in a mixture of
tea infusion, salt, spice and soy bean
sauce. When the price of eggs is low,
tea eggs" are often prepared and
kept warm on the stove SO that any
member of the family may help him
self to them as the Americans do candy
and nuts. Hens eggs are usually very
cheap. An ordinary days diet for a
family easily contains half-dozen
eggs or more. Even poor people who
keep their own hens use eggs freely.
Slaves and servants. however, are
usually given only a few, for yege-
tables are usually cheap. and eggs re-
garded as more desirable. -Philadel-

Night Watches We're
of Military Origin

The Jews, like the Greeks and the
Romans divided the night into mill
tary watches instead of hours, each
watch representing the period for
which sentinels or pickets remained
on duty. The proper Jewish reckon
ing recognized only three such
watches, entitled the first or begin
ming Of the watches" the middle
watch, and the morning watch. These
would last from sunset to 10 O'Clock
p. M, from 10 p. m. to 2 a. m.; and
from 2 a. IN. to sunrise. Subsequent
to the annexation Of Palestine to the
Roman empire as a province, the num-
Der of watches was increased to four,
which were described either accord
ing to their numerical order as in the
case Of the fourth watch or by the
terms "even, midnight. cock Growing,
and morning." Their watches termi-
mated respectively at 9 p. M, mid
night, 3 a. M, and 6 a. IN.

HEROES FOR A

I have found it 80, and have seen
q good many heroes In my time Of
one sort or another. HerOism is seldom
attained except through struggle,
through sacrifice, through contest with
something or somebody, and the re-
suits Of these things are not negligible
or useless no matter what sort Of work
mental or physical into which the
hero, even though he be youthful
amateur, may go later.
The physical hero does not climb to
his pedestal by physical effort only. He
must fight in the face of defeat, he
must develop poise and self-control
and alertness Of mind and quickness Of
judgment, and these are qualities Of
mind which will serve him not only In
sports, but in the game of life which
he must take up after he leaves col
lege.
AS I have followed these youthful
heroes after they have left the scenes
of their physical triumphs, have not
been surprised to find that in large
majority of cases the qualities which
helped them in college to become phys
zeal heroes were pretty largely re
sponsible in later years in helping
them to business and professional sue

cases attain this success I believe sta

There Are Many Snakes
That Deserve Protection

Contrary to popular belief, most
common snakes are neither obnoX-
ious nor poisonous, says the Bio
logical Survey of the United States
department of agriculture. The
prevalent dread of snakes is due
largely to the fear of such venom
Gus species as the cotton-mouth
moccasin, the cOpperhead, the rat
tlesnake, the massasauga, and the
coral snake. Although these pois-
onous snakes have no place in a
settled country, and efforts should
be made to eradicate them, yet
most common snakes are beneficial
in their food habits and should be
protected.
Wherever snakes are present in
abnormally large numbers there
must be an abundance of living
animal food in the vicinity to at
tact them. This food consists large
ly of injurious rodents and insects,
pests of garden crops and stored
foodstuffs. Snakes eat such small
living creatures as earthworms,
spiders, grasshoppers, salamanders,
small frogs, mice, rats, chipmunks,
and young rabbits. King snakes
are able to kill rattlesnakes, and
have been known to eat them. The
little red-bellied snake subsists to
large extent on slugs, which are
very destructive to gardens. Bull
snakes and gopher snakes destroy
large numbers of injurious rodents
in the course of a year.
The food habits of very few
snakes conflict with mans inter
ests. Water snakes feed largely
on small fish, but not as a rule or
species used as food by man. The
moon or queen snakes eat crawfisl
and toads. The black snake anC
coach-whip snake destroy a Ger
tain number of ground-nestin,
birds, particularly quail and egg
in the nest, and have been know
to eat young chickens and evel
young pheasants. Local campaign
for the destruction of these and O
poisonous snakes may be desirabl
in many districts, and clubbing an,
shooting are, so far as known, tn
only successful methods of eradi
cation. No successful apparatu
for snaring snakes has ever beel
devised, and most species seem i'm
mune to poison gases.
