For some time the leaders in the
social work of the Y. W. C. A. and Y.

meetings of the two social committees
were held during January As re-

new plan was held on last Friday
evening. January 20. It was called
a college social" An atmosphere
akin to that usually found on col

Ecery now and then some maga- zine feature appears which seems able to run indefinitely. "Wailing- ford" Emma McChesney," Potash and Perlmutter'' are illustrations. Now 'Philo Gubb'' that exceedingly Imaginable deteckative"-he is a grad uate in twelve complete lessons of the Rising Sun Correspondence School of Detecting-is demanding a place in the list When Ellis Parker Butler wrote the first of the Philc Gubb" stories, he did not consider it greatly different from his other humorous work. The stories were printed in the Red Book Magazine, and it was generally felt that t'iey had been well received. After the Ter felt it was time to quit. He he gan series of side-show stories. Immediately there was a protest. Letters poured in on the editors of The Red Book by every mail The readers did not want circus stories; they wanted Philo Gubb. MT. Bpt . Ter had to return to Gubb. His stories have been appearing in each issue of The Red Book since then, and they seem to gain in popularity every month. They come pretty close to being the surest fire laugh producers that are being printed any where, these days.

BARBERsHOP CLOSING
 IN PHOENIX TOWN
THE ARIZONA LABOR JOURNAL,

The ordinance providing for the closing of barber shops on Sunday against which referendum petitions placed upon the ballot at the coming city election and the people will be left to decide whether or not the ordinance shall be operative
 The fight for such a regulation of the barber business in this city has been long and bitter Most of the towns in the state already have simi- lar ordinances, but attempts to close the shops in this town always have failed. When the first state legisla- ture was in session q bill was intro duced providing for the closing of all barber shops in the state on Sunday. There was immediately much agitation in certain quarterss and the passage of the bill was prevented. When the city commission was created the Barbers' Union immediately set about to get city ordinance in Phoenix. After a long fight this was accomplished. but the referendum petitions which were filed prevented it's enforcement.
 It is the duty of every union man in Phoenix to go to the polls and cast his vote for this ordinance. Before he can vote on it. .however,,it is necessary that he be registered, and if a urAon man or his wife is not on the register t is his or her duty to go at once to the city nall and become qualified at once. as the books close Friday evening.
 The passage of a Sunday closing law by this legislature does not lessen the importance of voting on this ordinance. In the event of the state law being at tackled in the courts or of referendum petitions being filed against it it will be suspended pending a decision or an election. In this case the city ordin- ance will be of benefit to the barbers in this city at least. who at present are obliged to work until noon on Sunday.

"GirIs" Matinee Today

Some one has said that women will not go to see a Woman's play.
 that the only sort of dramatic offer ing which is sure to find favor with the gent1er sex is the mannish play;
 the sort where the hero vanquishes the villain and the heroine is rescued by the dashing leading man. But this week at the Columbia the rule IS going to miss. The box office sale, so the story goes, is the largest in the history of the house, for the af- ternoon performance today. There is a reason too, despite the fact that Girls is a womans play and no mere man gets much credit in the comedy. The reason is Girls" is a real play. It is not the so-cale1 comedy stuff-half claptrap and half hose and abbreviated skirts, with the

STARTING ROAD WORK
 NORTH FROM TUCSON

Active road work on the Tucson- Florence stretch of the state high way will begin Monday morning, when fifty honor prisoners who have been employed on the Mesa Roosevelt road will be put to work reconstruct ing the road. The men, who left Florence yesterday will arrive at the new camp. sixteen miles north of Tucson today.
 In addition to the work of grading and rebuilding the Pima county stretch, it is the intention of the state engineering department to pave the crossing at Canyon Del Orc. which has been particularly bad this season on account of the rains. The men will probably be kept at work on the Pima county stretch for the next six months.

 GETTING IN GLAD RAGS

Moved by the spring new clothes fever, the cute young Gila monster that is visiting at Graves Indian Shop, is just now devoting a day or two or his valuable time to shedding his old skin and preparing to blos som forth in a brand new Urquhart plaid. Of course, the old suit has seen a lot of hard wear, and it is said that it has never been cleaned or pressed, so his friends will hardly recognize him in his new 2lad rags. Although One-piece garment, his new garb will probably be entirely satisfactory, and, judging from the remarks of the many tourists who have been observing his transforma- ton. he is really having an easier time that many other creatures that have to follow the styles.
