 Colonel Harris, adjutant general of the national guard, was in Tucson on Tuesday, and there was informed that the families of all those enlisted men, who were unable to support them, were being taken care of by funds appropriated by the county super visors.
 The chamber of commerce of Tue son first took up the matter and wrote to the commanding officer of the Tucson company From him a list of all those men who could not support their families was obtained The chamber of commerce officials personally inspected each case and made recommendations according to

NARY P|CKFORD' IN
 HER GREATEST PLAY

Mary Pickford as an Italian boy. The delightful little Japanese Cno- Cho- San, Tn Madame Butterfly" has shed her sandals and her kimono for the rough boots and corduroy of the Italian peasant and she laughs, fights and smokes her way into the heart, just as the little Niponese sobbed her way into the affections of the public. And just as the Famous Players star so cleverly concealed her own man nerisms in the interpretation of the Jap girl so in this original photoplay by Kate Jordan, which will be the Paramount attraction at the Arizona for three days starting tonight. Miss Pickford buries the Pickfordian char acter beneath an avalanche of Italian mannerisms and of boyish conceptions that once more prove her wonderfully broad versatility.

Although brief notes have appeared
from time to time in the geographical
journals regarding the discoveries
made by r. j. F1aherty in Hudson
bay, a detailed account of them has
only recently appeared. The first ex-
petition. begun in August, 1910, lasted
seven months. In this expedition the
explorer gathered information from the
Eskimos leading to the belief that the
Belcher islands, shown on existing
charts as two groups of small .islets
north of James bay, are really ex-
tensive islands, and his two subse-
quent expeditions were made partly
for the purpose Of verifying this be-
lief The first attempt was unsuc-
cessful, the explorer being driven
about for three months in small boat
at the mercy Of storms. In August,
1918, Mr.. F1aherty set out from st.
Johns and wintered in Baffin Land,
whence he sent his vessel home. In
August, 1914, the voyage was resumed,
and after many difficulties the Belcher
islands were reached. 1t appears that
the largest island is more than 100
miles long, and the total area of the
chain, extending from 55 degrees to go
degrees north, is estimated at 1000
miles. Hence material alterations are
necessary in maps of Hudson bay.
