Lasky photodraniatic production of E. Phillips Oppenneim's thrillinsr story, "Mr. Grex of Monte Carlo." which recently appeared in serial form in The Saturday Evening Post. It is a Paramount Picture. This story has to do with th. scheme of three of Europe's greatest diplomats to make a new map of the world, ignoring hnglnnu ana Amer ica. - Haw all heir clever plobs and schemes are upset by an impetuous young American in love with the Grand Duchess, make this one of the most unusual plays ever seen on the screen. Supporting Mr. Roberts are Carlyle Blackwell, Miss Dorothy Davenport, Jumes Neill, Horace B. Carpenter and Frank Elliott und other members of the Lasky all-sitar organization.

If it were not for one tiny, erratic break In nature's orderly progression we should never have had tho ma- j cbluery that has brought about mod em civilization, t'or we snoum not bare bad steel. It is true we' should have had iron, but pure Iron Is almost usolcss. It is only when a small quan tity of carbon is added to it that it becomes bard enough to take a cutting edge. Then it is called steel. Why steel hardens is an unsolved problem. The Scientific American re produces some extracts from an ad dress before the British Institute of Mechanical Engineers, delivered by Professor Arnold, who bas for many years been investigating the chemical and mechanical relations between Iron, carbon and other metals, and Sir Rob ert Hadflpld's experiments that called attention to this "break" In the order of nature which atone makes steel pos sible. Nickel and cobalt are so closely re lated to iron In their properties aud in tbelr position In the periodic classifica tion atomic weights, specific gravity, fusing point and valence being almost the same that It might be expected Uiey would bcinve identically when united with carbon. Not so. however. Sir Robert Ilndfield found that when tho "steel" made of nickel and cobalt was heated or hammered the carbon came out of the composition and was precipitated as graphite. If Iron be haved this way tool steel would turn to cast Iron as soon as heated. And It Is on the fact that It does not "a seem ingly quite erratic ocpnrture on na ture's part from her orderly plan" that modern manufacture is founded.

Perched on the top of a great rock In tho neighborhood of 300 feet high stands Acoinn, In New Mexico, in some respects the strangest village in this country. Acouia is an Indian settle ment of some 000 people and means "the people of the rock." Though the founding of the village is lost in the mist of antiquity, It Is supposed the Acoinn Indlnus chose this site as a measure of safety against the warlike Apaches and Nuvajos of tbelr day. Their selection wns made with ad mirable Judgment, for the walls of the rock are almost perpendicular. Tho earliest Spanish explorers found tho tribe settled securely in tbelr natu ral fortallce. Acomu has remained de lightfully untouched by tho Influences of Spanish and American civilization. Theso Indians are quite well to do lu sheep and cattle, which arc pastured on tbo grazing lauds of the valley. where summer villages are located and where Urn minimum uf effort is re-, quired to euro for the thicks nnd herds. Although less than twenty miles from a railroad, the village is comparatively unknown. The natives do not care for curious visitors. They do not wish to be stared at and photographed. Nevertheless, the irrepressible tourist with his cam era occasionally scales the steeps that bafllod the Navajo. Nowadays it is no longer practicable to suppress him with a tomahawk, so the Acoma are philo sophically making the best of a bad job by collecting $2 a day for n camera license. The gray adobe village peers from Its eyrie over miles of gray plain dancing in the glare of a burning sun, broken only by the sheer outlines of buttes and mesas. Argonaut. Cove, Feb. 16. (Special) Snow is about all gone and the mud is getting deep. Grass is green and buttercups in blossom on the hillside. As the groundhog didn't see his shadow we believe spring (has come. Mrs. A. Anderson has been on the sick list the past week. The stockmen of the vicinity held a meeting in Trippers' hall Friday for the purpose of electing officers. A. L. Becker went ito La Grande on Thursday returning Friday. T. B. Johnson was over from' La Grande last week buying hoes. He shipped a car from here on Saturday, j mib. i. v. wgan is waving her house remodeled and papered this week. Another sign of spring. Mrs. Geo. Miller and Mrs. L. K. Robinson made a shopping trip to La Grande on Thursday. - The road supervisors are busy since the water went down. Many bridges needed repairs. Today's Oddest Story. St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 17. Because she weeps every time she thinks of a trolley car, Miss Rose Mather is to day suing, the St. Paul City Railway wo. ior zz,ouu damages, she claims her condition resulted from her being in a street car accident. " The Cherokee Tribute Stone. There are, of course, stairs running up the insldo of the Washington monu ment, but few people walk up the ' stairs. Of course there are stones set 1 in tho wall by different states that are well worth the climb, but at sunset I time the majority of folk think that It I Is better to ride. There is so much to see in our capital aud feet are only feet. As the elevator crawls up one sees the New "ork stone, the Ohio stone, the Kansas stone and ninny oth ers. One sees a blurred stone labeled "The Cherokee Nation." Somehow that stone depresses a fow people, for the white man has done little for his In dian brother In return for his laud, bis game, his dylug race his memorial stone. Margaret 13.
