CAl'SE SURPRISE
A Few Strong Men, Hut Choice of
Several Believed to Have Ik-en
Dictated by Politics
Fresident-elect Warren G. Hard
ing has announced his selections for
the new cabinet, following weeks of
vatchful waiting on the part of the
press, public and a long list of sug
gested candidates. The choice of
Charles Evans Hughes as secretary of
Mate is conceded to be as strong a
selection as could have been made.
Herbert Hoover, one of the most popu
lar candidates has been given perhaps
the least important portfolio. Will
Hayes, chairman of the republican na
tional committee since 1916, is to be
made postmaster general in recogni
tion of his services, and nearly every
other choice is felt to have lieen dic
tated by political considerations.
The new cabinet will be:
Secretary of State Charles
Evans Hughes, New York.
Secretary of the Treasury
Andrew Mellon of Pennslyvania.
Secretary of War John W.
"Weeks of Massachusetts.

AT THE MOVIES
"A Sister to Salome," with Gladys
Brockwell, is the attraction at the Im
perial this evening. It's a William
Fox production, and from the press
sheets we gather that it's a typical
Brockwell play. Expressed riddlewise,
the plot may be summed up by saying
"She died for love, yet she lived on,"
and this is ample proof that it's a
mystery play. The final climax is
declared to be a great surprise.
On Saturday comes "Up in Mary's
Attic," one of the brightest comedy
dramas that has come to Alliance in
months. Mary who is a charming un
dergraduate in a seminary, is notified
that she has inherited her uncle's es
tate, on condition that she does not
marry until her twenty-first birthday.
Professor Penanink, her guardian, dis
likes to think of so much money get
ting away, and plans to marry his son,
Waldo to Mary, who is already secret
ly married to the athletic instructor,
their baby being cared for by an old
Indian s(uaw. You can figure out an
enormous number of amusing situa
tions that might ensue, and most of
them are included.
The Sunday feature is "Honor
Bound," starring Frank Mayo, which
attempts to show that morality is a
matter of geography. One man, played
by Frank Mayo, who is a good-for-nothing
in a civilized environment but
who bucks up in the forests of the
Amazon. Then he shows another man,
played by Edward Coxen, who was a
gentleman of standing in his home
community, but who undergoes a
downward transformation in the same
jungles. Then he shows what happens
when a primitive situation awakens
the primitive in the character of each
of them.

A New Paradise
Man throughout the ages has by his genius and "the
sweat of his brow" made possible such attractive homes
as help to largely increase earthly joys.
However, landlords have been more interested in rental
profits than in providing convenient homes for un
fortunate "renters."
So, man is condemned today never to know full happi
ness in domicile until he plans and builds ,
