Some of the little incidents not
featured on the program occasion
ally make the biggest hits in vaude-
vile. This was demonstrated last
night at the Pantages at the close
of the musical act by Young E.
Brooks when the appearance of a
member of the team in the role of
an oldtime fiddler, playing the old
fashioned airs with quadrille calls
accompaniment, made the hit of
the evening. The work of Young
& Brooks was also clever in other
respects. The Saytons have a
novel number in their acrobatic
alligator act. which is well staged,
and in addition to novelty displays
decided acrobatic skill Shale &
Cole pleased with their dancing

the Four Lincolns was better than
their novelty singing. THE Under

Montague, in which the author APP
pears with Edmond Murphy and
Jewel Whalen, deals with the eff
forts of two brokers to win the
same girl. and has some good work
toward the close. One of the most

RAISE IN PAY HAS SOL WE'D
Ii. S. ARMY PROBLEM

Though the United States army
is filed to the limit, so far as new
enlistments will be considered, re-
cruiting stations are still running
all over the country. No one but
former soldiers, men with medical
knowledge or with abilities as tele-
graph operators are being taken
in. The Spokane station has not
enlisted recruit for the army for
nearly month-still the expense
of retaining the recruiting station
goes on.
One of the recruiting force has
secured his discharge. Another is
out working on a street car during
a four months furlough, with the
APPARENT intention of buying his re-
lease from the army If he and
work as the servant of a corpora
ton agree. Still another is on a
short furlough and has made APP
plication to buy his release from
the army.
The army now has quota of
1900 men, who are of better
class than Uncle Sam was able to
secure to protect his welfare up
till the time the increase in sol
diers' pay was given, Army Off
Gals say that tho increase in pay
brought the class of soldiers into
the ranks that the nation wanted,
and the rowdy bunch is being
weeded out. Where soldier would
