that the greatest change in form due

little muscle the changes were insig

One very marked change in the
form of the chest is noted in the loca

the fat animal than one in thin con-

MURRAY ANDERSONS
PARLOR OPENS TONIGHT
Another Surprising Announcement for
Amusement and Artistic Delight

When Murray AnderSon's" opens to
the public tonight Phoenix will have
added another surprising achievement
to its record. 1t win find that in the
space Of a very few days bare and
barren business house has been trans
formed into most attractive place of
amusement that will pay large divi-
dends in wholesome entertainment
Over the concrete flooring skilled
Workmen have laid a dancing floor that
will be a joy to all who use it. tables,
chairs and benches, palms and green
things, Il high class catering depart
ment where light refreshments at
lighter prices may be obtained and
many other first aids to a blase pub
lie have been installed, and here the
latest dances will be demonstrated by
J. Murray Anderson, one of the fore
most artists in all this broad America
and the public may follow in his foot
steps, if they can, or stick to their own.
Tonight, in addition to demonstrate
ing the various new steps, Mr.. Ander-
son, assisted by Helen Beatrice Crane,
will give an exhibition of the Aeroplane
waltz and a GaVotte of the eighteenth
century. In the latter dance Mr. An
derson will wear the famous costume
designed and built by Nelson of New
York for the wonderful Peacock dance
given by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish for the
Duke and Duchess of Manchester last
February. This wonderful creation,
with its champagne colored breeches
with silver buckles, green waistcoat
and coat of burnt orange, created
sensation at that sensational affair. 1t
was built for Mr. Anderson from an
old print of one of Beau Brummers
costumes, and it is an altogether ex-
traordinary example of the perfection
of the modern tailors art.
1t was at such magnificent enter
tainments as these that Mr.. and Mrs.
Murray Anderson achieved their ma
ton wide reputation, and it is one of
those curious whims of fate that gives
Phoenix the opportunity to see this
great artist, even before the large west
ern and coast cities have had an OPP
portunity to do so.

hibitions and there will be general pub

SUCH BL|SSFUL
IGNORANCE VERY
RARELY ENCOUNTERED
Lady Sport Writer Evinces Interest
in Good Roads and Horse Educa-
ton So Asks Squint Stevens
About it With Nearly Fa-
tai Results to Stevens
BY Sally Jacobs

ny Saliy JACOBS
What everybody doesn't know per-
haps is that If a horse amt never
been against the rubber its liable to
Wheel and has to be sent to school.
Mr.. Squint Stevens told me so and
he should know because when we
We're introduced he was called the
man who officiates at the gate" 1t
but l suppose there are just scores
of celebrities in town for the fair.
Il school the horses at the barrier
Ievery morning from ten until eleven
and | want to tell you lot of Ari-
IONA horses need schooling"
Yes" | agreed. But l presume we
use our horses I'm glad though that
you are here I've always wanted to
see animals being taught like those
perfectly wonderful ones in the circus.
Do you make them pose?"
Horsemen have such queer manners
and the only answer he gave me is
what he would probably describe as
the "once over" He very kindly di-
rected me to the rubber barrier which
really isn't anything more than a
great big sling shot.
Il give them lessons in starting"
he said. Il have to know the good
and bad actors and how to handle
them SO they get used to the bar
rier."
l really don't see how the poor
animals can get used to it when he
snaps it right in their faces. It
must be frightfully trying and it
would have been much more to his
credit if he had invented something
to deaden that hideous noise than
the uninteresting lock he showed me
of wood, iron and rope. 1t looked
quite ugly and is built along very
ungraceful lines. 1t seems so dis
trustful anyway, to hedge the jockeys
in like that. I'm sure one would not
start before all the others were ready.
And as for tricks-there weren't
any. And why he's called starter
l can't understand, because he won't
allow it. They have to go without
start not even a walk. l really
think the riders must have a great
deal of character to take things as
nicely as they do.
How do you like the jockeys?
Don't you think they are perfectly
fascinating?"
"Oh some are worse than others,
but you can always set 'em down for
unruly conduct. AT the barrier they
will break through now and then and
another thing, they do not always
keep the horses straight"
at must be rather fun to be start
er and give the horse you like best
the inside?'
They draw for positions" he said,
and as he acted a shade bored l
Thought I'd make up for it and talk
about something I knew more about.
"Of course you believe in the good
roads movement 1t is spreading in
Phoenix and next time you come I'm
sure they will have the circle paved.
Please think of that and don't mind
the dust this year"
And l really liked him for he didn't
complain and was even complimentary
though he couldn't have been truth
full Its a swell track and is well
taken care of. 1t has a good cushion
and won't break a horse down. Come
on, let's go"
