FIRST TWELVE ID BE AT THE LOCAL
 PACKARD AGENCY
McArthur Brothers to Hold Public Reception Beginning at Nine This Morning For Debut of
 Irwin Six

At the early hour of nine this morn ing, the Packard Twin-SiX, peer of every foreign motor car, vii make it's debut in Phoenix. It is rather late, owing to the extreme difficulties of securing deliveries, but the McArthur Brothers, local agents, anticipate q cor dial reception just the same.
 Nothing quite so formal and glorified as this coming reception, has ever taken place here in motor car circles. Tho public has been bidden to make the acquaintance of new and thrill inb models before. but as the Packard stands out in a world of lesser cars, so will today's affair be the out standing one of the society of rubber tired wheels and gasoline.
 An English engineer ventures the opinion that the twelve cylndr Pack ard is the most remarkable car that it has yet been his pleasure to handle From 100 up to $500 revolutions the engine is absolutely imperceptible, save fer the carburetOr hiss and a faint continuous rustic" from the valves, mixed with the slight hum of the brushes on the commutatOr of the dy- namo. Yet the acceleration is terrific, there is no other word for it.
 Running on the direct gear of a trifle over to 1 at five miles per hour it is possible by merely depressing the throttle pedal to accelerate to thirty miles per hoor in twelve seconds. This is the mean time of a series of tests made by the writer on a smooth level road. On second speed the accelera- tion can be imagined better than described. The same car, with com plete equipment, and very heavy equip ment, too, has covered seventy miles in the hour on Indianapolis track, and it will run without the least sense of effort at three miles per hour on top. This is a plain and considered state mont of the cars performance.

State Fair In A Pima Legend Fall Festival Dates From Early Times

Nlaricopa County Fair Commis- sioner George T. Peabody is telling d pretty good Indian story about the first Arizona fair. He has managed to spring it on one or two occasions recently in his meetings with the In- dian and white farmers while out boosting for exhibits for the forth coming state fair. He says that the coming fair may be the eleventh Arizona state fair but the first Ari- Zona fair was pulled off just about the time Noah was planting the first olive tree. He goes even further than that and says that were it not for the first fair there might not have been any Maricopa county at all
 It seems that according to Pima mythology, after the flood, when the waters had subsided nearly alto Sether, very sizeable lake was left in the Salt River valley When the earth doctor repeopled the world he placed his favorites, the Pimas, around the borders of this lake, where they might have abundant crops. After many years of pros perity it was decided to hold fair and the Indians from all the south west came to participate in the sports The crowning test of the meet was the sun race, when the best runners of the warrior tribes were started as the sun rose over the Expectations. The test was to run around the lake continually without rest, food or drink until the last ray of light had dis appeared over the peaks of the F1s-

treilas. For a good many years Van tre, an Apache, won easily from all corners until finally the Pimas ap- pealed to the earth doctor for some sort of charm so that their man came around. The earth doctor, mind full of the request of the Pinas, turned Eantre into great eagle and he flew away in the direction of the Flat Top mountain. increasing in size with every motion of his wings. Alghting on Flat Top mountain his great size and weight broke through the crust of the earth and the toes of one foot made the clefts in the rocks that are the canyons between the Four Peaks. and those of the other foot made the great gorge that marks the juncture of the Tonto and the Salt
 Ages went by and the lake in the valley finally disappeared. Torrents of water, mud and debris which changed the bed of the valley came down from the cleft in the mountain and seasons of drouth brought the people of the valley to the verge of starvation. Then the white man came and after many years at the great gorge of the Salt, the sign of the de- feat of the great Apache runner . dam was built The defeat of the winner of the marathon of the early Arizona fairs had made possible once more the watering of the valley from the lake stored in the marks of his

 The demand for the con tract year caused a furry when 1t was found that the strikers specified that the contract be signed with the organization. The miners held that this amounted to a recognition of the fedora tion, which the strikers have already waived. It is reported that the strikers demand was amended so as to make the proposed con tract effective.

~rnE BEAUTY SHOP pLEAsEs.


Wilmington people last night prov
ed to Raymond Hitchcock that des-
pite the fact that he has not been
seen in Wilmington for a number OF
years, he is still favorite here The
Playhouse was crowded and those
who were present had the pleasure Of
seeing in "rhe Beauty Shop" one OF
the best attractions which has been
seen in Wilmington for a long time.
IL was another illustration that Will
mington theatre goers like musical
comedy especially when the company
Is headed by comedian of the abil-
ity Of Mr. Hitchcock
The comedian was az his best last
night. Those who have seen him
before are confident that he was fun
nier than he ever before was In his
career and this is saying considerable
for his performances are always de-
lightful
Mr. Hitchcock had the support OF
a company which was not only one Of
the largest which has over been seen
on The Playhouse stage hut is also
one of the best In every way Il was
above the usual standard The COM
pany was clever, the costumes and
scenery were elaborate and the whole
was just the kind of an attraction
which Wilmington likes. The cast OF
characters Is excellent and there is
moi a poor performer I'm the entire
body.
Marion Sunshine shared the hon
ors with the star and she not only
sang some clever songs but also
danced exceptionally we'll Joseph
Herbert, Jr.. also did some excellent
dancing and his work with Miss Sun
shine was much enjoyed. Earl Ben
ham made a good lawyer. Anna Orr
| Christine Mangasarian Margaret Poir
Fred Mason Emerson. Edward Met
calf, and in fact. all of the members
Of the company made a decidedly fa-
vorable impression.
Mr. Hitchcock was required Ia
make a speech before the curtain
and at the same time ne took occa.
sion TO call attention to Self Denial
Day of the Home Relief Committed
in a most touching way and ask sup.
port of il. II was a decidedly telling
speech.
The company Is one Of the largest
which has been seen here this season
and the audience was thorough,
pleased. In fact IL has been a Ions
time since Wilmington has seen any
thing which pleased It so well.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Presidcnt
Wilson said to-day that he had been in
formed that the captain of the steamer
Evelyn, blown mp by a mine several days
ago. had disobeyed instructions and was
out of the course he had been advised to
take.
The President indicated he did not
view the Evelyn incident with alarm. He
has not determined upon course of ac-
tion in the case
The practice OF nations, the President
pointed out. has been not only TO fur
nsh pilots to guide neutral ships safely
through mine fields. but also TO furnish
charts showing approximately the dan
gerous rcgiohs.
No decision has been reached, toe
President said, regarding replies to the
German and British var zone notes.
There has been no developments recently
to alter the original position Of the
United States on this question, and the
problem IN the Presidents mind is
whether II is necessary to Te-statc ouI
attitude
The President is studying the far
eastern SITUATION WIN Wow OF uc-
termining upon a policy for the United
States in regard to the Japanese de-
mands on China. So far this govern
ment is not in possession Of sufficient
facts to warrant any action.
The Executive Is waiting q full re-
port of investigation by the Navy Dc
partment before acting upon the Ger
man and Austrian protest against the
building of submarines in the United
States for the allies.
Secretary Daniels brought the ques-
tion up at last cabinet meeting and
told the President a thorough probe
would be conducted into the German
and Austrian charges.
Replying TO the criticism that he
had not recognized tho Republican
party in appointing iho Federal Trade
Commission, the presidon, SAID nc un-
derstood that both VIII H. Parry of
Seattle and George Rublce Of Cornish,
n H., are Republicans and not OF the
Bull Moose faith.
The President has not decided Ia
veto the seamen's bill. ho said. for TIC
reason that he has not given il con-
sideration yet.
