o. The public is becoming sadly
sophisticated. 1t is difficult task to
manufacture a real thrill nowadays.
Chorus girls, dressed in tights and
jackets that caused theatergoers to
gasp 20 years ago, wouldn't arouse a
comment except, perhaps, a
few blase remarks about such dress
being terribly old-fashioned.'
This is the opinion voiced by Miss
frankie Bailey, a member of 1.-The
Century Grip company at the Cen

After tights, what?' was the
question the managers had to an

Nothing was the reply. And
they have come just as near nothing
as they dare. In these modern times

But even if the public did gasp a

The lrmy officers arrived yesterday morn ng and started work almost immedi- tely, hoping to finish their work in tfis city by July 2S.
 Arizona's quota will be forty men foI the next camp, and it will be Major Barnes duty to examine some 120 men from which the 40 will be chosen with four alternatives. Captain Wilde will assist Major Barnes in his work of se- lection.
 Already 273 applications have beer received from the different parts of the state and the final lap of the ex- aminations has been reached. Major Barnes is well pleased with the materi- al that has presented itself all oyer the state, and Phoenix especially.
 On arriving in Phoenix, Major Barne' found awaiting him, his commission a: major. where before he was ranked as captain.

Draft Drawings Will Have

 Order Drawn Until the Quota is All Filled

There seems to be some msunder-
 standing among local exemption boards as to just what the registration
 means" said Colonel Fred S. Breen yesterday, and whether or not the
 local boards are to determine the lia-
 bility of those drafted for service.
 "The drawing in Washington was for the purpose of determining the order
 of those who were to be first examined
 before the local boards. and the notices sent out to those whose numbers were drawn will be in the order they were drawn in Washington
 Some board members desire to know whether all those whose numbers
 were drawn will be notified at once or
 merely portion of them. The regu- lations provide that all should be noti- fled although they may be notified to appear on different days, and examina-
 tions will proceed until that county fills it's quota as it is impossible for any county to tell how many exemp- tiOns there will be- In any event they will have to fill the qupta required by the government, and for that reason | all those whose numbers were drawn should be notified to appear
 l From the inquiries that have come 1 to this office, it is plain that many believe that Colonel Breen is the final officer of appeal as to the draft or
 exemptions. That official desires to l let it be known that he has nothing to | do with either. The work of exemp- i ton is entirely in the hands of the | local boards.

TRIBUTE
 PAID DR. JAMES

Seldom is more profound respect shown the memory of any citizen than that manifested yesterday morn ing upon the occasion of the funeral of pr. H. J. James. late medical di- rector of St. Lulle's Home. There were in attendance a host of personal friends, patients and the leading phy- sicians of this city. The body of the beloved physician was laid to final rest in Greenwood cemetery.
 With the passing of Dr. James, Phoenix loses one of it's best known doctors. During his service at St. Luke's his ability was demonstrated as exceptional by the large number of the Homes patients who were dis charged as cured and others who were given new leases on life. He had no favorites. One patient re- ceived the same careful attention as another. His private patients claimed him as a special friend-more than a medical advisor. His loss to his patients will be hard to replace as his presence in a sick room always brought cheer and hope to the af- flicted.

B.. Lung, Chinese huckster who says that the B" in front of ms name is short for Bad, had a bad" time of it in police court yesten day afternoon when Policeman E. G. Grove, charged him with con ductinq a wholesale green goods house on the pavement back of the court house. And not only was the pavement obstructed and trar fife impeded, said the officer, put Lungs wagon was headed east when according to city ordinance it should have been headed west. Lung and a dozen other hucksters gathered on West Jefferson street. as usual, yesterday morning. Lung had an unusually large load and proceeded to negotiate exchanges for other goods with his fellow countrymen. He made little piles of vegetables here and other little little piles of vegetables there, un. til he had his wrongly headed wagon practically surrounded. Just about this time the officer of the law Ioomed up like Rising Sun stove polish.
 After half an hour the Celestial was able to restore order by re- loading his wagon. And then he drove the whole outfit to the police station while he made arrange ments for his appearance in court.
 Five dollars" said Judge Thom- as after hearinq the evidence and admissions by Lung.
 Couldn't you make it three, judge" inquired Lung.
 Mot this time," replied the judge.
 Ought to be cheaper for cash" continued the defendant.
 q was thinking of cash or days when l spoke" continued the court. "It will cost you more the next time"
 Lung counted out the right change and departed, saying he would make it up on the next few customers.
