CURFEW LAW IS
T0bEENF0RCED
Miss Ora Matthews, City
Policewoman, Will En-
deavor to Make 9 O'clock
: Bell. al ore Than Fire De
partment Test.
partlnent Test.

The Phoenix curfeW law is to be
enforcoo. Miss Ora Matthews, cit;-
pollcewoman, announced yesterday
tha; she was going to devote every
effort TO seeing that children are off
the streets after nine o'cl0cI and tll2t
the ringing of the big bell III the city
haul ;2v Ell at that hour each night,
will have a meaning.
Many people have long been of the
impression that the ringing of the
bell at nine o'clock each evening, was
intended simply as daily test of
the fire alarm system and to keep
the horses in form in hitching And
while that's has 7been about what it
really has $ifiodnted to for several
years, it is recalled that an ordin-
/ ance, was adopted on December s,
1904, prohibiting minors under the
age of seveteen years being on the
streets and alleys or public places
between the hours of o'clock p. m.
and 5 o'clock a. m.
The ordinance reads as follows:
Section /. 1t shall be unlawful for
any minor under the age of seven
teen 40 years to be upon any of
the streets. alleys or public places in
the city of Phoenix, between the
hours of-19 % dock p. m. and 5 O'Clock
Il. M, unless such minor be attending
to urgent business and can give a
satisfactory account of why he or
she is absent from home, or be &C
companied by "a parent, guardian,
adult relative or adult friend; and in
case such minor be alone upon the
> streets, alleys Sor other public places
in the city of Phoenix between the
hours of o'clock p. m. and .
O clock a M attending to some ur-
gent business and can give salts
factory reason for being away from
home, it shall be unlawful for such
minor to loiter or linger about the
streets, alleys. or public places, but
such minor must transact such bust
ness as speedily as possible.
Section 2 At the hour of o'clock
D m. the city fire bell shall be rung
as a warning to such minors and
their parents that the hour of y
o'clock p. m. has arrived, but failure
: on the part of the city authorities
: to ring such bell, or "a failure on the
part of any such minor or his par
ents OF guardian to hear such bell
shall be- no excuse for such minor
being upon the streets, alleys, or
other public. places between the hours
Of 3 o'clock p. m: and 5 O'Clock a. m.
1t is this ordinance that Miss Mat
thews proposes to see enforced.
There is nothing Puritanic in the
movement. d. 1t is simply another step
of the Phoenix policewoman to re-
move, as far as possible the conditions
that lead up to delinquency on the
part Of children, boys as well as
girls.
1t is hardly likely that arrests will
be made at the outset, but if children
are found unattended upon the streets
after the curfew bell rings hereafter,
they will run a strong chance OF
having to explain to Miss Matthews,
if not to the juvenile court, just what
takes them out at hours when they
should be in bed.

AUGUST WAS
GREAT MONTH IN
PHOENIX P. D.
Only Two Other Months in
History Exceeded 1t in
Receipts = Christmas of
1913 Only Day That Ever
Beat Yesterday.

August was the greatest August in
point of business ever experienced by
the Phoenix postoffice, and very few
months in the history of the office
have exceeded August, 1914, in point
of business transacted. Only twice
during the last twelve months have
the recent month. Now to tell what
the receipts really were:
$40, 12S.36. What's the matter with
Phoenix?
August, 1913, receipts were $750S.12.
August, 1912, receipts were $548S.69.
Now figure the per cent Of increase
for yourself and it will give you a
great deal of satisfaction to see what
has beeen doing in the new Federal
building recently.
/ The income for the past twelve
months has been $115,0932O, which
lis some income itself. OF this the
two months going over the August
figure of this year were December,
1913, and January, 1914.
The amount of mail handled yes
terday in the local postoffice was
prodigous. No less than seventeen
pouches of first class mail were sent
out on the evening trains all of it
originating here. OF this ten pouches
were for the east bound train for
Ell Paso, most of it of course going
to Arizona points. Then there were
200 sacks of second, third and fourth
class mail that also went out on the
night trains. Eleven men were en-
ployed yesterday in despatching the
mail from the local office, and the
mail clerks on the through trains will
be swamped when the avalanche hits
them.
The reason for so much mail at
this season of the year of course is
politics, all three parties contributing
to the grand total. There, however,
is as much more already in the Of
flee as has been sent out, which is
more satisfaction to the boys that
work in the office--if they like work.
Not since Christmas of last year
has the post office experienced such
la day. Nearly 10000 letters were
handled during the day.

DARKIEN GRAY HAIR,

Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So
Naturally That Nobody Can
Tell

Almost, everyone knows that Sage
Tea ] and :Sulphur, properly com
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray; also ends
Dandruff, itching scalp and stops
falling hair. Years ago the only
way Ito. get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with IT and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy.
