 Shape First

The work of improvement of the Glendale Phoenix road will probably | begin this month," said State Engineer Lamar Cobb yesterday Just how soon will depend on several matters ye, to be settled. but we expect to have the construction of culverts under way as soon as possible"
 The preliminary work of surveying the road is now being carried on, and as soon as it is completed. the work of putting in the new culverts will be talk en up. The improvements contemplat- ed call for the expenditure of s25,000 in addition to the cost of the proposed two mile stretch of high grade con- structiOn south from Glendale. Since the Glendale road meeting some time ago some opposition has developed to the latter proposition, and another meeting will be held in the near future at which the matter will be taken up and discussed.

PeriIs of Pauline at the Lion

Walter Leecraft of the Lion makes the assertion that today's program is one of the best ever shown In his house, for there are five reels s"d every one d headliner. The most prominent is the ''Perils of Pauline" and it's the most sensational episode yet shown and features an escape from balloon that is marvellous. A close second to Periis of Pauline is a special two-reel Keystone comedy entitled Mabel at the Wheel" Mabel Normand plays the lead in this laughable farce comedy, which just abounds with funny situations and is put over as only Keystone players can. A strong drama dealing with labor troubles over safety devices that they wanted installed in fac . tory is the theme of His Punish ment,' which is a Majestic produc- tion. It's good program and Lior patrons will no doubt appreciate it.

 The navy department took no cog nizance of the fact that the Marconi com pany had filed in federal court an ap- plication for an injunction to restrain the naval officers from closing of censor- ing the station. Although it appeared as if the wireless company. might conl- pei the naval officials to exercise force, the company finally decided to offer no resistance and the station was closed at p. m. The navy department made pub lie tonight the telegrams that passed be- tween the department and Ensign p. B. Nixon, U. s.
