free men go out to battle it is the winning of peace they fight for, as "there is no such thing as the winning of a war," Alvin Owsley, the new national commander of the- American Legion, aid here today in an address dedicating Nebraska's new capitol. "Death and ruin are the stakes in the game of war," he said; "ruin and death are the price men pay for peace whenever that spirit of destruction breaks its bonds. The ending of war is a great thing, but the beginning of peace is a greater thing; for with the coming of a Just peace thejnarch of mankind is. taken tip again, mankind going forward step by step to better things. Not as the day of the making of an end, but as the day of the beginning of a great endeavor, let us observe this anniversary.

We have sanctified our comradeship through honor to our dead, and through the last full measure of devotion to our disabled; and that devotion to our disabled shall maintain us until the last man broken in the ser
vice of his country in the world war

With eager real, we are seeking to carry equal opportunity of education to every nook and corner of the land to the homes where children of poverty dwell, to be available there as well as where wealth and luxury abounds."

For the first known instance where guide-managers escorted parties of travelers, for the origin of the modern tourist agency, one must harken back , over 2,000 years, says the Detroit " News. In the Fifth Century. B. C, when ; Herodotus, the Greek historian, was ; making his famous travels through the I Greek Archipe'ago and into Africa and , Asia, the world was already considj ered by its inhabitants to be quite mature, indeed old. And the seat of ; antiquity was Egypt for the pyramids were already 3,000 years old. Every year great numbers of travelers, not pilgrims, but merely people in search of enUghtment and culture, visited this seat of antiquity to see the temples and the pyramids. Ati(Wo facilitate their travels, certain priests or officials acted as guides. ; ' They took whole parties and attended to their housing and all their accommodation for the period of . their 'i Journeying.

WASHINGTON One of the strongest stellar vehicles for Rodolph Valentino, yet selected
is the enthusiastic opinion of the pro ducers regarding "The Young Rajah" a - new Paramount picture in which that popular star will be seen at the Washington theatre, starting Sunday for an indefinite engagement. Three other notable features mak? this picture one of the strongest in which Mr. Valentino has yet apoered, under Paramount auspices. The story is the famous novel, "Amos Judd," by J. A. Mitchell, which prove? on of the most successful American works of fiction. It was adapted tn the screen by June Mathis, the adap
tor of the "Four Horsemen of tin? j Apocalypse," "Blood and Sand'" and j other Valentino pictures. The cast! i3 unusally large and includes many prominent and popular players, including Wanda Hawley, Bertram Grassby, Charles Ogle, Pat Moore, George Perolat. Fanny Midgely, Geoarge Field, Edwin - Stevens, Robert Ober, Jadk Gidding, J. Farrell MacDbnald and several others. The story which is laid in America and India, introduces Amos Judd, first as a young Hindu prince a child -brought to this country for political reasons and placed in the care pf Joshua and Sarah Judd. kindly New England farmers, together with an immense fortune. As the child grows
up he demonstrates a remarkable gift of foretelling events, and his predictions always come true. As a man he goes to Harvard and wins signal honors, but incurs the bitter enmity of Bennett who believes him responsible tor the accident which causes the death of Slade, Bennett's friend Amos and Bennett fall in love with
the same girl Molly Cabot . In India, there is religious conflict and a usurpation of the throne. The Maharajah plans to kill Amos and
sends a delegation to America for that
purpose. Amos wins Molly s love and the wedding is planned, but the form
er then has a vision of an attack upon i
himself by East Indians. Measures are taken for his protection, but the Hindus get him and are about to murder him when General Gadi, the man who had brought Amos as a child to America, the priest Narada and Gadi's men save him. The priest tells Amos he must come back and free his people from the usurper. Amos fights beween love and duty and finally decides he must fulfill the latter and return to his natie land. Molly is heart broken at his departure, but later Amos is seen looking into the waters of a beautiful lake, wherein he sees the vision of a Hindu wedding and as the bride raises her veil, her face is that of the woman he loves Molly. And Amos's visions always come true! Wanda Hawley plays opposite the star.

McAvoy portrays the role of a poor New York girl who lives in a cheap tenement and clerks in a department store. Because of her small size, she is forced, during the Christmas season, to appear in the toy department as an animated doll to attract trale. A most interesting toy 6hop was built, Thousands of toys and hundreds of extra persons were used to make these scenes realistic.

Important, but by no means the most difficult part of a motion picture cameraman's work. Al Gilks, cameraman for the Sam Wood production, "Her Gilded Cage,"
a new Paramount picture starring Gloria Swanson, which comes to the Murrette theatre Sunday for four days, had to make two snails act for a fadein scene in the picture, where Walter Hiers, as Bud Welton, an American in a French cafe is served with snails
and visioning the tiny animals crawl
ing along alive, finds it impossible to
stomach them.
"You can't get rough with a snail.'
said Mr. Gilks, after waiting a half hour with his camera focused cn the
ground where the snails had beeu
placed for a scene. "If you get im
patient and prick him. he will draw
in his horns and fold up. So the only
thing to do is to wait Datientlv for
him to get into motion."
After a two hours' wait, the camer
aman finally got a scene of the snails
in action.

MURRAY The doll dance is not new, as patrons of the opera and the Russian ballet know, for it is an amusing feature of "The Tales of Hoffman" as well as
of many dance novelties, such as Pav-
lowa's popular "Fairy Doll, "Marcn
of the Little Lead Soldiers," and other
dance conceits. ...
But the doll dance, at once jerky yet

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE The management of the Murray theatre is somewhat puzzled over the nature of one of its acts coming to the Murray for four days commencing tomorrow matinee. The name of the
act, "The Sheik of Araby," has them
guessing at first thought it might have
to do with motion pictures but the
booking agent has assured them that
such is not the case. Mr. Holland, an old showman himself, had . never heard of the act, although he personally
knows thousands of acts and actors
He has made inquiries of the acts playing his house but none of them
seem to know the nature of the offer
ing billed as "The Sheik of Araby
No photographs of this act have been
received as yet and here again anoth
er chance to possibly identify it, or make a guess as to just what "The Sheik" is. or does, had to be passed
up. . , It is promised by the Chicago book
ing office however, that "The Sheik of
Araby." after its first showing here
will immediately leap into popular fa
vor for its beauty and sheer novelty,
and prove to be one of the outstanding vaudeville presentations of this or any
other season.
The surrounding bill will consist of
three other high grade big time acts,
namely. Renard and West in their
comedy, "I'll Tell The King On You,
Daniels and Walters in "The Old-Tim-
