ART EXHIBIT AT
 WOMAN s CLUB
 GREAT SUCCESS

The fifth annna1 Miller Sterling ex- hibit at the Woman's clib vas held yesterday under the auspices the art and literature department Of the club of which Miss May Noble is chair man. As usual the exhibition attracted large numbers who were enthusiastic in their praise
 There was a delightful program dur ing the afternoon, Miss Ge3rge Mintz reading selection of poems written during the war while the musical num- bers were furnished by William Conrad Mills who sang a group of songs
 In discussing the exhibit last even ing Miss Noble called particular at tenti1n to the 16 paintings by Mrs Jessie Benton Evans that were never shown here before.
 Her work is by this he so familiar to the Phoenix public that further com ment is unnecessary" said Miss Noble. unless one might add that this year she has a greater variety If subJeccs and moods of nature and ine majority are keyed higher
 Miss Kate Cory of Prescott sent a very beautiful canvas entitled Bald Hill at Sunset very subtle painting Of eolared rocks against d sky flll Of clouds" she continued.
 Some fine lithograp phs-some Ger man ones but new to us, enc by Marion K. Wachtel and printed by Volland and colnDany. This is T departur. fo: them and it is hope that the ruhlic will appreciate this effort enough to encourage them so that American ltho- sIaphs may in time take the place be- side foreign ones.
 Many colored copies of the cid masters, colored Platinums such as Tn nocense' by Reynolds; Boy With Ap- ples' by Greuze; Corot's Spring; :" Millets The Glean-:s." Among the moderns ''Whistler's Mother" a lovely Autograph copy of William Wendt's Silence of the Night- and "A Land scape" by George Inness, and some of Taylor's colored illustrations.
 A new departure is the collection of photographic portraits by Mrs. S. Fol jambe and her sister Carrie A. Davis of Boston. These pictures show that photograph may be something more than a mere mechanical precess-they are real portraits in the same sense that good painting is-viz that the artist has tried to feel the personality Of the sitter and make it apparent to the observer. In word they are truly
 artistic photographs in the real sense of the word, and as all of us can not afford painting such a picture i fills need and we can be quite sure that twenty years hence such a DOT trait will be as satisfactory as when it was taken.
 Another selection Of photographs platinum prints-but of different character was most interesting. They were landscapes by Walter Fukens and loaned by Mrs. J. M Miller. Last but not least were three oil paintings of the desert by S. M Borwn pleasing in subject aad with nice feel ing for the bigness of the desert"

CHILDREN PICK COTTON TO AID
 MEN IN CAMPS
Osborn School Pupils Set
 Example to Community in Endeavor to Contribute
 to Soldiers Christmas

Working in the cotton fields in or der that they might contribute Christi mas cheer t. the soldiers, the pupils of the Osborn school through their own efforts have contributed $31.26 to the Christmas Packet committee. Every penny was earned by the youngsters themselves and the sum donated was turned owe. ;0 Mrs. Louis H. Chalmers in pennies, nickles ahc dimes. Princi- pal Judson of the Osborn school made the suggestion that the kiddies do their bit by remembering Uncle Sams men during the holiday season. He let the students work out their own plans and the majority of the boys and girls picked cotton in order to secure funds Others chose different means of earn ing a few cents but not enc of the con- tributors asked for any assistance from their parents. It was their wish to make the gift entirely their own.
 By Thursday 200 packets must be ready for shipment >u san Francisco. Not later than November 15, 400 pack cts more must be sent from here to make up the allotment Jf 600 given this county.
 Unable to purchaSe small tn boxes, the Christmas packet committee is ap- pealing to every housewife in the city to donate the article that is required in parking gifts to the sailors and soldiers. The tins may be of any size ranging from the small tins l~1ed TOT typewriter ribbons to those 8 by 10, the regulation size of the packet Nabisco tins are especially in demand and the request is Tnada for me Or more from every WO- man in Phoenix.
 The school childre.i are doing their bit for the holiday p..c1ets by prepar- ing scrapbooks of jokes, cartoons and clever short stories. Reading matter is said to be most acceptable to the fighting men. and the thOughtfulness of the boys and girls at home will no doubt add sentimental appreciation of the gift

TREPH|N|NG MAY
 SAVE BOYS L|FE

Performing a trephining operation to relieve the blood pressure upon the brain, it was hoped at late hour last night that the life of Logan Dameron, son of Dr. and Mrs. L. D. Dameron, had been saved. Young Dameron. who is a senior in the high school, was in jured in the football game between the local high and Indian schools Saturday afternoon. He was kicked in the head during an end play and while he was knocked out for a time. it was not deemed that he had sustained serious injury until yesterday morning. At the time of his injury he thought so little of the hurt that he continued in the game.
 Yesterday morning the youth, who is IS years of age, lost consciousness. The case was diagnosed as one of pressure of blood on the brain and by means of the trephining operation button of the skull was removed and the pressure relieved.
 The young man is still in a very precarious condition.
 What effect the serious accident will have upon the school football schedule is not yet known.

PHOEN|XESTATE HINGES ON END
 1T WORLD $ WAR
Property in Germany Is
 Willed to Wife by Man Who Was Unable to Even Learn It's True Value

That it will require the period of the worlds war before the estate of the late Herman C. Kahn can be settled seems probable, since part of the property is real estate located in the city of Koenigs, Wusterhauser. near Berlin.
 W. s. Norviel and J. c. Philips, at torney for Mrs. Rosie L. Kahn, to whom her husband bequeathed his en- tire estate, have been unable to obtain any information from Germany rela- tive to the value Of the property, and whether or not anything will be real ized from the small fortune left, it may take a matter of years to determine. Months before his death he was noti- fled of his mothers death and told that he had been left a half interest in her estate, the remaining half going to his brother-in- law, Rev. J. E. Jentsch, pastor to the dowa9er empress. He at once attemtped to get into communi- cation with German authorities, but never received reply to any of his letters. Since the new ruling in this country whereby alien property will be taken into custody by the United States, it is hardly possible that the claims of an American will receive any consideration in Germany, say the lawyers.
 Rahn's will, dated June 15, left his estate to his wife and asked that she be appointed eXecutriX The local property consists of an equity in the Annex hotel of s12,9S5, notes cash and an automobile, the last three items val ued at $1S,600. In addition to this, there is, according to the will "The property of my estate in Germany, the exact status and conditions of whicE to me is unknown, consisting of one half interest in the estate of my moth CT Mrs. Mathilde Rahn, who died March, 1916, and who was the widow of Carl Rahn.'
 The interest in the estate in Ger many is of unknown value, ns is also a claim for interest in an oil location in the Del Rio district in YaVapai county
 The hearing for admitting the will to probate will be heard before Judge Lyman at 1:30 o'clock, November 12
 Kahn was a well known resident in his city where he made his home for eight years Before comniS to Phoe- nlx he was interested in mines in thS Ray and Winkleman districts, and number ed his friends in every section of the state.

Seven Keys to Baldpate' proved d. revelation to even the most seasoned theatergoer. and as the audiences filed Iaughingly from the playhouse nothing but praise was heard. Seven Keys to Baldpate" is different from anything ever offered. The more one tries to fathom the mystery the more useless becomes his task, for the versatile Conan has seen to it that this mystery becomes more baffling as the story proceeds, rather than more susceptible of solution. In fact the greatest sur prise of the entire film is sprung at the extreme end of the story when the. spectator has become hors de combat in his futile attempt to predict the ending.
 Anna Nilsson plays opposite Cohan, and Mrs. De Wolf Hopper, popularly known as Elda Furry, is also in the lineup.

TORPEDO" MINE A
 MENACE TO SHIPS
Baltimore Sun.)

The newest engine of war to be in trOduced by the Germans is the~"tor- pedo mine," according to the captain of a British merchant vessel now in port, who is also a reserve officer in the British army.
 According to this captain, the new idea is just what the name implies and is nothing more than a spent torpedo that has missed it's mark.
 In the past, when a torpedo was fired at a merchant or war vessel by a sub marine and failed to strike the mark, the explosive tube kept on its course until it's motive power died out, when it sank. Now, however, the Germans have perfected the torpedoes to such a degree that if one misses it's target it will turn over and float when the propeller stops, becoming a high ex- plosive mine. The torpedo nose be- comes a detonating cap, as well as one or two more that are distributed over the tube.
 Like the "periscope mine," which made it's appearance when the British admiralty gave the order to sink sub marines by ramming them, and offered a reward for each, the new mine was quickly discovered, and, according to lHe captain IS HOW CdFeIuliy WalcneO for
 The merchant captain also had some thing to say about the art of camou- flage which is now being used on mer- chant vessels to offset the submarines.
 T have seen vessels painted so many different colors and in such odd ways that to attempt to describe them would be folly" he said. T don't understand the work myself, but have seen some evidences of it as sea that have fooled me prettily.
 I remember seeing one vessel in the danger zone long ago that seemed to have a destroyer lying beside it. 1 thought the captain very fortunate to have such protection, but did not have time to envy him because of the dan gers that confronted me. When 1 got to port the freighter came in and l noticed, much to my surprise, that it had a full-sized and rigged destroyer painted on each side amidships.'

 ADJUSTMENTS
"Honor System at Empress

Today will usher in at the Empress the four days engagement of the much looked for film, The Honor System" William Fox's production of R. A. Walsh's masterpiece. It has become known as the greatest human story ever told. Dealing as it does with the prison problem the story is a powerful preachment of today. Much has been said of the necessity for the actors voice and immediate physical presence for the proper conveying of highest, most potent emotional appeal. But in The Honor System this has been boldly challenged by William Fox, who has demonstrated that the great Aneri- can subject of today can be filmed as well as written, and he has succeeded in presenting wonderful material for the thinking men, women and young folks of America

OCTOBER SALES SETTING RECORD
 FORPOSTOFF|CE
Business Barometer Shows Phoenix is More Prosper ous Than Ever Before in History of Capital City

If sales at the local postOffice may be considered a business barometer, conditions during the past month have been more gratifying than at any other time in the history of Phoenix, for ii the average maintained for the past 90 days is maintained today, sales for October, 1917, will be greater than that of any other since the postoffce start ed, with the exception of December last year, which stimulation in busi- ness was occasioned by the Christmas rush.
 In the entire history of the depart ment there are but two months. whose total sales of stamps have exceeded that of the present month up until o'clock last evening. These are De- eember of last year and October, 1914 The latter month was above normal because of the wet and dry elections and the state and county elections, during which time much campaign literature was being circulated through the mails. october 1914 saw gross receipts for the month toatl of ST. S19.O5. Up until o'clock last even ing, $17,536.4l in stamps mad been sold, leaving a difference of $2S2.64 which must be overcome by today's sales. Since the daily sales recently have been upwards of $500, there is little doubt in the mind of Postmaster Mi- chaelson that the sales of the only other rival month will be exceeded. thus leaving October 1917, second in the list Of busy months in the depart ment's annals.
 Postmaster Michaelson declares the unusually big receipts this month should not be considered due to the increased postal rates which have been inaugurated by the department to aid in the defrayal of ,,artime expenses. because these increased rates do not become effective until Novmber 2 In the opinion of the postmaster, ip- creased postoffice business means prosperity improved business condi- tions, and increased prosperity
