STATE TO TAKE STEPS TO MAKE
 CARS ID L|M|T I
Freight Situation Taken in Hand to Prevent Danger of Car Shortage During Shipping Season

To aid the railroads of Arizona in the handling of the crops and thus prevent as far as possible a con- gestion of railroad traffic, which at this critical time might easily be of vital effect to the nation, the Ari- zOna corporation commission has re- quested the shippers and receivers of freight in the state to lend their assistance in the following rules ana regulations prepared by the commits sion.
 The instructions to the shippers | and receivers of the state, which were issued yesterday, are as fol- lows
 To the shippers and receivers of freight:
 In anticipation of an immediate and unprecedented movement of farm products, your cooperation in a na- tion-wid movement, having for its object the utilization of every avail able inch of car space and the prompt handling of railroad equipment, is vitally necessary in order that the carriers of the country may be en- abled to effectually and efficiently perform the great task which has l been imposed upon them by reason of the war.
 With that end in view, this commits sion respectfully urges upon the ship ping and receiving public of Arizona the necessity for the adoption of the following plan:
 | l. Place written orders for cars with the agent of the railroad at the point of loading, specifying in the order the commodity which is to be shipped, the destination thereof, the number of cars required the class or kind of equipment desired, their length and capacity, and the date (and hour, if possible,) upon which such equipment should be placed for loading.
 ?. Load cars immediately after being placed to their maximum weight-ca carrying capacities. (Maxi- mum weight-carrying capacity is 10 per cent in excess of the marked capacity).
 3. Furnish shipping directions to the railroad agent the moment cars are loaded.
 4. Unless absolutely necessary, dc not divert or reconsign shipments while in transit; but if diversion or consignment becomes necessary lIIeu De CdTeIul to see that the re- quisite orders are placed in the hands of the carriers in ample time to pre- vent any delay to the equipment ,. When notified by the carrier of the arrival of a carload consignment prompt notice should be given the carriers agent of the time and place when and where such consignment shall be unloaded. 6. If possible unload cars just as | soon as they are placed for unload ing.
 q When a car has been unIoaded notify the railroad agent at once ir order that it may be promptly as- signed to a waiting shipper. ARIZONA CORPORATION COMMIS- SION.

Fannie Ward at the Lamara

Beginning today and continuing through tomorrow Fannie Ward will
 be the attraction at the Lamara, ap-
 bearing in her latest Paramount pie ture "On the Level" It has often been
 said that a girl never forgets her first flame. This statement finds ample complication in "On the Level, " wherein Fannie Ward plays most diff ficult character calling for literally three distinct roles. She is first seen as the only child of an old sheep ranchman. amid surroundings of abject poverty, but the little girl finds hap piness in keeping house for her fath- CT and her life in the great open. All goes well with her until a, Mexican ban dit visits the ranch, and kills the father, taking the little girl away with him as a captive. Her next hcarac- terization is that of a dance hall girl,

It is a rapidly moving modern story of New York life and has one distinguish ing scene that will probably be of spe- clal interest at this time. An ocean voyage is shown with a submarine sighted off the side of the big liner while the United States gunners aboard prepare to fight the sea diver and the passengers crowd the decks ready to take to the life boats. This is the first of the modern sea peril views to be shown in pictures. With "The Princess of Park Row. will be shown Alice Brandy in "A Woman Alone,'' one Of her best World pictures.

Geyser National Park Is RiivaLled
 In E air Phoenix

Why go to the Geyser National park when Phoenix offers similar beauties and wonders? The sole ueyser in Phoenix was last evening located and doing business on West moreIand street in the 300 block. It is suspected that it has something to do with the water system but however it originated it is a sure enough spouter which the residents Of the section state is playing in the neighboring altitude of the housetops, said tops presumably be- ing removed from the earth, distant one story.
 The impromptu eeyser started after the pulling power of the fire department has been exerted in the neighborhood to extinguish one fire. It is presumed that this drag upon the main caused a parting Of the ways and the spectacular result which attracted much attention in that section of the city, As a geyser it is credited with success and as an advertisement of the excellent water pressure maintained, it is equally effective.

bOOM INDICATED BY
 OCTOBER LIST
Outlook for Prosperous
 Building Season Said
 to Be Best in History of City; Houses Going up

That Phoenix is on the eve of q big business boom is evidenced by the activity in the city building in spector's office shown by a resume of the permits issued during the month of October, as compared with the same month last year.
 The outlook for the most pros porous year in the history of Phoe- nix is most favorable, notwithstand- ing the fact that the nation is at war and conditions throughout the country are abnormal. Materials of all kinds is very difficult to obtain, yet builders and contractors are making provision to overcome these difficul- ties by ordering their materials at the moment they know they shall need them in the future, and also that what they can obtain at home they do not order abroad and in this way they expedite matters considerably.
 The need for more residences for Phoenix has been evident to all the real estate dealers and brokers for several months, as during the sum mer, when business in this line in Phoenix would naturally be dull, it was with difficulty that they were able to supply the demand for rentals and sales. Now that the winter pop ulation is beginning to arrive it will be more than difficult to supply the demands created by this temporary population.
 That the business men have con- fidence in the prosperity of Phoenix is plainly shown by the number of permits issued for buisness buildings as compared with that of last year during the month of October. Last year only two such perimts were issued in October, and the valuation was $8,860, while October of this year shows seven permits for business buildings, and the valuation is $14,- 905. October of last year only one permit for residence was issued, while for the corresponding month this year there has been 16 issued. The money expended last year was only $500, while the valuation this year for the 16 permits is $21,965.
 There has been decided impetus given to repairs this year over last. During the month of October of last year there was spent for repairs the sum of S3,66O, while for this same month just passed the valuation of repairs has been valued at s9,330.
 That Inspector Mann has been a busy man during the month of Oc- tober is shown by his report, as he made 295 inspections of buildings now under construction, beside in specting 15 which had been com pleted during the month.
 Among all the buildingns now being erected in the city of Phoenix, the inspector only found eight violations of the building ordinance, and every one of these were of minor import ance.

"The Blue Streak at Empress

Beginning today, William Fox pre- sents at the Empress, William Nigh in one of the most gripping western stor- ies ever filmed, "The Blue Streak" To those who saw the famous Douglas Fairbanks in The Good Bad Man" the Yholesomeness of The Blue Streak will present many similar features. Nigh is seen as the son of a prominent express company magnate, whose one aim in life seems to be to give his native city a brilliant coat of carmine. He succeeds in mourning the dfspleasure of not only his parents but Of every employe in his fathers office. One of them goes so far as to smack his face while he is visiting his fath- CT in an intoxicated condition It is this stinging rebuke, and his fathers remark, that he would rather see his son bandit of the old days, taking his money by daring than begging for it as was the sons custom, that proves the deciding factor in the sons life

SPLENDID START

 WAR WORK DRIVE
Rapid Fire Program Given at Luncheon Followed up
 Quickly Produces a Big Starter for War Fund

Due to the rapid fire program lnstl- tuted by Chairman J. c. Norton and his efficient corps of workers in the Y. NJ c. A. war work campaign, the big job of raising the amount assumed by Phoenix as its portion of that as signed to the district including Mari copa county and some additional ter ritory, was almost concluded by last evening, following the banquet and rally at the Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday at noon.
 Nearly 50 workers were present at the luncheon, when final details of the campaign were outlined. A great deal of enthusiasm, and a compact working arrangement, grew out Of the get-together session, and with pre- ponderance of vim, the workers set cut and brought the total virtually up to the allotment, which will be approx imately $7000. The amount stipulated is not definite, according to Chairman Norton, because the sum which Phoe- nix must raise depends largely upon the showing which will be made by other sections in this district.
 The apportionment for the district has been fixed at $12,000, and it is calculated that little difficulty will be experienced in realizing the separate sums which have been estimated, as the probable result of the active work started in various quarters. Dr. Nor ton visited in Tempe last evening, with a view to aiding in the campaign started there

Rare Honor For Ramona"

The highest award ever given by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures (until recently known as the National Board of Censors) has been conferred upon the w. H. Cline cinema spectacle, Ramona" which will be seen here for the last time today at the Columbia.
 The board marked the finn a per centage equivalent to 99. judging on the four phases: educational worth, ar tistic treatment, entertainment value and moral influence.
 In the opinion of those present, Ramona should be ranked with the finest productions thus far put on the screen. In quiet treatment, in the ex- clusion of the sensational. in the sue cessful creation of true atmosphere, and in superb photography, Ramona in their belief, is an artistic event in the motion picture world
 Tomorrow one of the particularly dainty pictures of picturedom comes to the Columbia when Pants" featuring Mary McAlister, is presented. There is no funnier situation than when a youngster, who is all boy, and who is in swimming, comes out. on land and finds that someone has made off with his clothing and has left a girls dress in place. This is one of the many delightful situations which make Pants so enjoyable.

WAR WOULD
NOT HURT
BASE BALI.
BY H. c. HAMILTON.

Omitted Press STAR Correspondent.)
u NEW YORK. Feb. Speculation as
to the probable effect OF war upon base
ball has been prevalent in New York
since the United States broke diplomatic
relations with Germany. without ex-
ception every man highly connected
with the national game has given his
word that he viii be found doing his ut
most fer his country
Dave Fultz. president Of the Baseball
Players Fraternity. has declared war
would automatically suspend the hos
tlities between members of his organi-
zatIon and the baseball magnates. but
the makes il plain that the issue would
again be taken UP at the earliest pos
sible moment
Speculation Of this sort has turned
minds of veterans back TO days Of tn
Spanish-Amcrican war. and has revived
tales of baseball accomplishments dur
ing the Civil war period.
1t has been pointed out that every
sign of hostilitles between this nation
and another has always been a boon to
baseball due to- the fact that tho United
states army fosters and encourages ath-
leties in every manner possible. RegI-
mental baseball teams always are or
ganized when the opportunity presents
itself
The period following the Civil war saw
the birth III baseball in its mightiest
form Returning soldiers continued Is
play the game and. as it gradually pro-
crossed. it became the entertaining sport
of thousands.
The Spanish American war saw the
same conditions. Men. returning from
cuba or from concentration camps. were
sports lovers They sought out baseball
and other forms Of amusement with such
aviditv that unprecedented eras Of pros
perftv followed. The coming Of the Fed
eral league was the only thing to kill
the wonderful push this concentration
of men had given the sport.
Possibly hostilities. or prepare ton for
defense by organization or armies would
have the same effect, hard it might
be in other ways.
