SAFETY FIRST" AT
 THE AIRDOME TONIGHT.

Tonight, the Raymond Teal com pany will present Safety First" at the Lowell airdome. This, like most of the "Teal' productions, is a com edy with a real plot. In fact, it ran for many months at one O. New Works leading theaters as purely a dramatic production and was a big success. With the addition of musi- cal interpolations its value and pop ularity has increased tenfold. Inc situations are complex and tend to keep the audience in state of sus- pense. wondering how the entangle- ments will ultimately unravel them selves. Fritz Fields, the inimitable, plays the part of the Cook Lady and to say that he is a scream is draw ing it mildly. Safety First" will be presented again Monday and Tues day. Since the weather has become more settled. the popularity of the Lowell airdome has materially in creased. and the crowds are nightly growing bigger, and it is not to be wondered at Who is there that does not prefer to enjoy the fresh, open ar 10 SluiiN anu hoN' Niootu iAi theater? In order to avoid making the hour for the second show too late. the first performance will be gin at 7:20, hereafter. This will make it possible to start the second show at S:45 instead of at 9 o'clock, as here tofore. With the high-ciass entertain ment furnished by the Teal company, at the low price of admission of 15 and 25 cents, which places it within the reach of all. the Lowell airdome is bound to be the popular place of amusement in the Warren District this summer.

COLONEL WEBSTER IN CONVERSATION WITH
 WIFE IN PORTLAND
Army Officer has Phone Con versation With his Wife, Summering Near Portland, Maine. Talk is Perfect

The longest long distance call ever made out of the state of Arizona prob ably went on record yesterday when It. Col. Frank D. Webster of the Twenty Second Infantry, talked to Mrs. Webster at her summer resi- dence at Green Diamond Island. a few miles outside of Portland, Maine The talk was sent over the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph com pany's wires to Denver and from thence on through the east via Chica- go and New York. The distance trav- eled by the voice was approximately 2SS0 miles and according to Col Web ster was perfect in every detail
 Several records in long distance work have been set within the past year. Not over a year ago the first across-the-country talk became an ac- complished fact. Since then many calls from San Francisco to New York have been made Talks from Arizona points to New York have been made in number, but none, so far as is known, have been made from one cor her of the country to the other.
 Col. Webtesr happens to be a good friend of Hugh Gunnison, local mana ger for the Mountain States and when he received word of his confirmation as colonel, joshingly asked the tel ephone man if he could connect him with his wife who was in Portland Unabashed, Gunnison said he could.
 Yesterday afternoon, as a conse- quence. Col. Webster came to the tel ephone office, took the receiver from the long distance operator. placed the apparatus over his ears and was giv- en the proper connection. Later he talked to an aunt, Miss Anna George. ] in Pittsburg. The securing of the first connection took one hour and ten minutes.
 ''I heard my wife's voice as cellar as bell" said Col Webster. ITO say the least l was surprised at the fact that l could talk over nearly a three thousand mile distance"

EXPRESS COMP ANY TO
 ACCEPT LIQUOR FROM ANY PART OF COUNTRY
Announcement Made Yester- day That Wells-Fargo Will Bring Liquor From any and
 all Points of United States

No longer will the trough, which has been inexistence for some weeks even months (running into two years)-due to the passage of the prohibition amendment, be in effect for the Wells Fargo Express Company, following the lead of the principal railroads, has taken of the lid and big doses in small packages may now be sent from any station, i'll any county, in any state in the United States Q little old dry Arizona.
 Since the returning of the manda- mus proceedings in Kansas City which enabled liquor houses in that part of Missouri to send liquor, Tor personal use, into the state, there mas been much speculation as to the prop able action of the express companies. First, thereafter, the railroads con ceeded that it was better to admit the liquor, under the proper restric- tions, than to have large number or mandamus proceedings on their hands. Still the Wells-Fargo refused to ac- cept Houor from Fl Paso, Rodeo, Los Angeles and other points which might be appealed to.
 As Consequence lIle been handling all of the liquor TOT personal use, into the state, except that which came from the state oi Missouri
 The decision of Wells-Fargo, which was announced yesterday by the local officials. will undoubtedly result Tn the shipment of much package liquor. No longer will it be necessary to send for a case of hard liquor in order ro take advantage of the freight rates what effect the admittance of liquor in small quantities will have IS hard to determine. It will be watched with considerable interest throughout the state.

The Music of Thunder,

The bass of thunder is considerably
lower than the lowest sound produced
in an orchestra-below the zero of
music, we call it, at which all posi-
tive apprehension of musical sound
ceases and our senses are merely con-
scious of a roar. In observing the
music of thunder our attention, how
ever, may be most profitably directed
to the expression rather than to the
notes. The musical diminuendo is
more perfectly represented by thun-
der than by any other form Of sound
in nature After the first clap is over
the ear will pursue with pleasure the
rolling away and gradual fainting of
the peal until at an unreasonable dis
lance 1t sinks into silence.
