 But
 Dir you ever. when you were wandering through the woods in Spring time, sud- denly bring up some miles from from where you thought you were?
 Or
 Did you ever come out of an office building by an entirely different door from the one you went in by, and wake up in a Brown Study several blocks away on the wrong street?
 If you have had either of these weird experiences. you have been through q minor case of what the psychologists call "dissolution of personality
 You are all there. to be sure, but. like the Irishnan who drew on his trousers wrongslde afore to escape from a burn ing building you are somewhat twisted.
 From that slight dislocation of your normal personality, that dislocation which practically every one has known at some time or other, you can proceed by grad ual regular degrees to the rare cases of complete Association of personality cases of two entirely different persons under the same name, which is precisely the case with Miss Beulah Poynter. the clever young Playwright-Aetress around at the Bijou this week.
 Miss Poynter has some very good "Poynts' Gsn't that awfulD both off and "on' tho stage, and she is as entirely different as any person could possibly be.
 You'd never suspect, when you see the little barefooted girl running about the stage as the heroine of ''rhe Ken lucky Romance" with her blonde curls and tiny bit of figure. that she could be as dignihed and serious as Miss Poynter is when you are having just an every day "heart to heart' talk with her.
 Of course, Miss Poynter is still blonde and pretty. and slight and attractive. but she is moro than that-face to face-she is deep and intellectual and ambitious and such a hard workerl
 "You see, 1t this way said Miss Poynter, when we began to discuss her affairs. T work all the time between acts, as it were. I never rest. Afternoon and night, after the performances are over. read and study and write plays and you can imagine how difficult it is It is very hard to accomplish anything, when I am playing six nights in the week, and three matinees."
 "whom do you read most?" I asked in- terestedly.

THROW MILLIONS AWAY DAILY.

There is a woman who throws away usually 2 million dollars every day. Sometimes it is only million dollars Again if she is feeling particularly TO- bust and business is brisk, this much to- be- entied person is able to boost the damage mark up to million dol lars-which. we might add, is about twenty iarge-s sized trunkfuls of 5dollar and 10-dollar bills.
 Her name is Miss Louise Lester and she is the only woman member of the currency destruction committee of the treasury department. The task of this organization is to destroy all govern ment securities which have been de cIared unfit for circulation. Of course the bulk of this is paper money. The average life of silver certificate bill is less than three years. Sometimes a dollar bill is worked so hard that it isn't able to weather the pOcketbOOk storm n.cre than a year This money is redeemed by your bank and in turn by the sub treasury.

MANY HOUSES

Real Estate Dealers Say That 150 Homes Are Now in Course of Construction in All Parts of the City

Several Adams street real estate dealers in discussing the real estate situation in Phoenix last Friday. began to count up the actual number of new houses in course of construction in All parts of Phoenix. It was pretty plain
 ly shown that there are at least 150 new houses now being built in and about Phoenix. No one district has any monopoly on building Construc-
 tion or development. in fact wcrl. is progressing in practically every adli- tion in the city
 The largest and most expensive buildings are going up in the north and in the west parts of the city Mum
 bers of new buildings are being con- Structed in Wentworth. Bennett Addi- tiOn, East Evergreen. Chelsea Place, Los Olives. Los Palmos, La Belle. Churchill. Evergreen Heights.

 It was further estimated by thes. men that nearly three million dollar:
