NAC0zAHI MINES
 SHORT ON POWDER
Will Close in Two Weeks If Embargo on Explosives
 Is Not Raised

DOUGLAS. April 1.-Two weeks is which most of the small mines of the Nacozari district can operate, on ac- count of the scarcity of mining pow der according to J. H. Dresser of the Nacozari Consolidated company. If the United States will not allow the importation of powder. by or before the end Of that time, at least a doz- en properties will be forced 10 shut down.
 Most of the small mines of the sec tion surrounding NacOZari, depend upon the AfocteZuma Copper company
 for powder, which is sold under a
 state concession" said MT. Dresser. "On account of the recent ruling. en-
 joining exportation of powder from the United States, the big company
 is beginning to retrench in the matter of sales to the smaller companies.
 The company has already begun to cut down our orders, and the clos ing time for us, and for practically every small property holder in that section will come when they shut of our supply. This they will be forced 10 do within the next few weeks. am certain that two weeks will see the close down if we cannot secure | a special order from the president to
 allow us to import powder in the meantime.
 'I recently went to Nacozari to get ! ten boxes of powder and was inform ! ed that I had better take two at a | time. I was told at that time that l the company has on hand only enough powder for it's own use for ] two months
 It is stated that the Fl Tigre mine | still has a supply sufficient for sev' l eral weeks on hand.

The members Of the chamber were not religious fanat- ics. and their action was governed by a feeling Of devotion to the wei fare of the French people, and their conclusion was that it was necessary to the well being of the people that the seventh day be one of rest and recreation" he declared.
 The minister declared that the people of the earth had rested on the seventh day long before the Lord had given the command to Moses that the seventh day be remembered and kept holy. in the application of his text. he declared that had it not been for the seventh day of rest that the Book Of Revelations never would have been written. By putting thoughts of activity and strife from him. the apostle who wrote the Boot of Revelations attuned himself for the heavenly visions which are de scribed in the book. The minister commented on the manner in which the sabbath is observed in Bisbee. and declared that in the east. if such things were done. the doer would Le arrested. He also commented in commeDdatiOn on the stand of the la bUr unions in favor of one day of rest in seven.
 50 it is not merely a happen-so scheme that the proportion )f labor and work is seven and one, out it is an exact ration proved by time and experiment for ages" he said. We cannot eat enough in one day to do US seven days. nor is it possible to be a conscientious Christian by being religious on one day only in a week The seventh day observance is as necessary to our spiritual well being as it is 10 our physical and mental well being. 1t is proper to take rec. reation on the Sabbath. but hunting rabbits cannot be classed as a proper recreation

 Fit to Print

The second trial of William Cain, charged with indecent exposure, was held in the justice court of Judge T. D. Burdick yesterday afternoon at two o'clock The jury in the case. composed of representative business men, rendered a verdict of not guilty after about two hours deliberation.
 In the previous trial. in which mistrial resulted, the jury stood six to six on all ballots cast, and the court dismissed them and reset the case for another ---~ins The evi- dence in the case was So revolting that it cannot be printed, and was given by an old Mexican woman and a small boy, upon whose testimony the complaint was made.
 During the two hours in which the jury balloted on the case, the jury stood first nine for acquittal and three for conviction. and next at eleven for acquittal and one for con victon. Several ballots resulted in this ratio. and finally the lone juror agreed to a verdict of not guilty. and this verdict was reported to the court.

ADVERTISING MAKES
 UP FOR HIS LOSES
Post Cards Stolen When Dis, played on Sidewalks
 by Dealer

A local post card yender who dis plays his wares on the sidewalk be lieves that the cards that he loses from petty thieysry are mora than balanced by the appeal that the Promi. nent display makes 10 honest people.
 The cards are displayed SO that it is impossible not see them when pass ins that way. and more than once the proprietor has learned that cards in small patches have been stolen. Asked why be kept his cards in such q prominent place. he replied that the value or the advertising obtained by placing the cards in such a promf nent place more than balanced the losses from petty thieving.
 We simply carry honesty as an as set and dishonesty as a liability" he said. and the difference Is on the credit side of the ledger. Honest peo- pie see the cards when they are prominently displayed who would per haps not see them othhrwise. and we make a sale. Sometimes we lose a few cards by petty thieyery. but we also take the indirect advertising val ue of the display into consideration, and that is considerable"
 The proprietor is one of the most clever advertisers in the district. and his advertisements in The Re vie walways attract considerable at tention. He reasons out the appeal that an "ad" will make. and is never worried over the mooted question, Does advertising pay?" because he knows that all kinds of advertising are remunerative.

HAROLOI PLEASES
 LOVERS 0F MUSIC
Polish VioliniSt Proves to Be Even Greater Than
 Anticipated

The music lovers of Bisbee were expecting great things last night when they went to hear Ignaz Harol- di, the great Polish violnist, and they were not disappointed. It will be long time before such playing is heard here again. The description of his playing in the Figaro, of Paris, is worth quoting It said: Haroldi is the embodiment of the spirit of music. Through the marvellously liquid shower of notes, and underlying depths of feeling, his artistry is su- preme. It is music. pure and simple, breathed into life for his hearers"
 With bowed head and eyes half closed, and a bow for a wand, the fairies seemed to play about him and add a whole forest of birds to sing. In the Zephyr" the wind rose and fell, and whistled itself away. So great was his art that it was con cealed. It seemed not like playing. but like the expression of himself in music. The program follows:
 1. Senate GA major) Q. Handel IL Ballade and Poloaise Vieuxtemps III. (a) Fantasie . Q. Scbumann
 (b) La Precieuse .... Couperin
 (cD Liebesfreud . Kreisler ". (a) Minuette ..... Beethoven
 (b) Schon Rosmarin e. Kreisler
 Cc) Zephyr ...... .... Hubay V. Zigeunerweisen ..... Sarasate
 When the last number had been played, the audience sat and waited. and after the applause he came back once more and gave the only encore of the evening.
 The work of MT. Polak as accom- panist was superb. He is also true artist, and his accompaniments showed rare skill and interpretation.

In the Teeth
of the Storm
By CLARA INEZ BACON

"Coulo yoL tell me, Mrs. Clates,
good laundress?" Miss Ritchdon
queried, somewhat diffidently of her
summer landlady, who was placidly
bending over her cook stove in a
temperature of about 100 degrees
Fahrenheit.
We'll, now" returned Mrs. Clates,
with finely expansive air, I'D do 1t
in minute just to accommodate, but
I'm expecting company of my own
next week to say nothing of roomers,
and don't see how | could. Maybe
she's a laundress that would suit any
body, but ! don't know; s'pose you
could try her-some folks get along
with her all right" she paused.
Who is she, please?" inquired Miss
Ritchdon euriously. And what's the
matter with herr"
She Rosetta Prent. and-well,
she's one of the best. but she's little
queer"
"Oh, If that's ALL" returned Miss
Ritchdon, with evident relief. please
give me her address; I'll go at once. y
Miss Ritchdon heaved a little sigh
as she went along. glancing out over
the blue water o. the harbor, dotted
with yachts and buzzing with motor
boats.
But Godfrey had accused her-Iola
Ritchdon-ef flirting! Well a girl
must be civil, even to men, as she had
told Godfrey, who had retorted-well,
who cared for what Godfrey had said
or for Godfrey. for the matter of that?
Thanks to the efforts of several
neighbors. Miss Ritehdon finally found
Miss Prent's house, perched as it was
on precipitous ledge, cat-a-cornered
to the street. Miss Prent appeared
at the door.
Its all of ten o'clock in the morn
ing" she announced in rather severe
tones. There's boats in the harbor.
too. You come right along after me. "
She mounted the stairs with consider
able alacrity and Miss Ritchdon fol-
lowed, wondering
What charming view!" she re.
marked with disarming graciousness
as she entered the room.
Her hostess turned towards her with
laekluster eyes and tremulous face,
I'm waiting and watching, deary;
