 of the leading features of the bill. This

 has been seen in Phoenix. The mum
 Der is staged between the two picture reels and it drew tumultous applause last evening from two crowded houses. The accompanying music has a grace ful stately swing to it. and the spirit Of the music was carried out in the dance to d perfection never before seen on any Phoenix stage. In fact 1t is not belittling former performances 2 bit to say that the chorus of the Bow t1er company is the best ever seen here. Not only was the chorus well drilled | but it. performed with a ginger tliat | made the show go off with g snap. The second performance was better than the first. This probably was the result of the experience gained in the 1 first performance for be it known that l the stage was not usual ble even for re 1 hearsals until after the Jacobs con- pany left.
 l The title of the bill last night was l The Magic Hat a Koib and Dill sUc-
 cess. In it the principals were Miss Fern Melrose who sang several solos 1 Fannie Donovan. Miss Gladys Vail, who | is well known here: Bertha Morris. | Jimmie Gibson. also well known in | Phoenix: Billie Sather, C. A. Black burn, F.. A Kneer and w. r. Bowkey

 robe that Manager Bowker has ob- l tained for his 'girlies.'

Post Office Department Co
operates to Prevent Fires.

From the Forest Service, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
The post office department has
just repeated, in the current pos
1al guide supplement, the in
tiors through which rural
carriers are to report forest fires
to the proper authorities during
the coming season. These in
Structions were first issued in
May, 1912, and during the past
two years the cooperation has re
ulted in the detection and sup
preston of many fires.
State and federal forest Of
Ulcers will make a special effort
this year to get even more value
out of the service than has been
obtained heretofore. The usual
procedure has been for the state
fire wardens or federal forest of
ficerS to send to the pOstmasters
lists of local wardens and pa
with their addresses
and telephone numbers. These
lists are, gwen to the carriers
with Instructions to report forest
fires t0~men whose names appear
thereon, or to other responsible
persons. This year "a Special
effort VIII be made to. follow up
the sending out of the lists by
having the patrOlmeI and war
dens meet the carriers personally
and to take the initiative in ar
ranging such meetings, and also
to map out a plan of action to bt
followed.
Cooperation between the rural
carriers and federal forest of
ficers will be effective in the
twenty states in which nationa.
forests exist and with state
forest officers in twenty states
which have established their owl
fire protective systems. 1t is
expected that the services o.
the carriers will be particularly
; valuable in helping to protec
the new national forest areas il
the southern Appalachians.

The First Starohing.

Four hundred years ago a GER
tain old Dutchman happened 10
discover accidentally that the
best way to improve a small de
ficiency in the bust of her royal
mistress, Queen Elizabeth, was
to stiffen her collars. frillS and
laces. That Dutchwoman S for
tune was Immediately made, for
Queen Elizabeth was overwhelm-
ed with the improvement and
s~traightway bestowed lavish
gifts and great favOrs and priv
ileges upon the lowly woman. In
addition she was elevated to the
position of chief ~mspectreSs of
the court linen.
The fashion introduced by the
Queen was, of course, soon fol-
lowed by all the women of rank
in the kingdom. The fad for
this new art of starching became
vertically a mania. Special pro
f~essors sprang up and they es-
tabliShed themselves in London
and thrived IN their profession.
Among them was a Danish WON
AN who seems to have had spec
ial capabilities along the line Of
%starching and those privileged to
be initiated by her in the art
had to pay no less than five
pounds for a lesson.
The staid fashion of white
%starching scon began to "a
upon the faStid Gus Queen who
then added a blue color to the
starch. she o mi Int the a.
dition of blue gave a green hue
to her complexion and being
rather particular about her

ited her subjects wearing any
other than pure white starched
linen, claiming that b.ue wash-
ed liren wa inju Gus to heal5h
Fashion, however, soon outruled
