S
ALWAYS IN CONDITION;
HOW TOM MIX DOES IT
Tom Mix, the popular
screen hero who is to appear
in a new western romance,
‘ Desert Love,” at the Royal
Friday night, always takes his
j work seriously. He believes
in intensive training as the
only foundation for perman
ent success.
Realizing that, in order to
maintain and increase the rep
utation he has made for dar
ing and skill, he must always
be in perfect shape physically,
he does not permit a day to
pass without going through a
series of exercises calculated
to develop his mind and agili
ty.
In addition to practising his
tricks in the saddle, he em
braces every opportunity to
play ball, to swim and to in
dulge in other sports. In ev
ery one of these directions he
towers above a fine group of
associates.
“There is a good deal o '
drenuous exercise in my reg
ular work for the screen,” say;
Mix. “Nevertheless I find it
necessary to keep in trim by
other means, so that when the
camera is ready to shoot
scene there may be a finished,
polished piece of daredevil
work for it to record.”

“Well,” said he, “are you the

answered, “dat a in' what I’m

Novelty in Burning of Effigy of Ma

It Is the custom of the Chinese to
burn various kinds of effigies at the
funeral ceremonies of the rich, and
the more wealthy the departed the
more elaborate the figures burned over
his grave. These effigies n present
every manner of tiling, such as human
figures, horses, sedan eiiairs, tables
loaded with money, etc.
At the funeral of a Mr. Li. who

and who was a very wealthy man.
the bereaved family outdid themselves,
and made an imitation of the dec eased

at his grave. The effigy was made
entirely of strong Chinese paper
stretched on bamboo frames The ear
was complete in every detail, tin* p"d»

paper and bamboo.
The interior of the ear was also
accurate in detail, bein'.: carefully up

streets to the graveside, where a
