WHERE THE PEOPLE -. ..cemk
 The Theater's Side


 To Editor of the Arizona Republican: Will you kindly permit me to call to your knowledge and through the col umns of your valuable journal, to the attention of all those whom it may con- cern, some few inconsistent conditions pertaining to the theatrical business and may I say, social and journalistic practices in the city of Phoenix
 This letter is written in the hope that enlightenment on these matters, and patient investigation by the press, the ! moulder of public opinion" and by the general public themselves, whose inter
 ests l espouse, for a higher standard of theatricals for Phoenix, may lead to a clearer understanding of the truth, and a righteous course of action and
 harmony toward the uplift of the the
 ater, the betterment of the stage, and | the maintenance or establishment of a | real first class playhouse in which our | citizens. our city government, our be- 1 loved state and nation may in truth and
 in fact take a civic pride.
 | Are not our theaters in reality, public l institutions and in Q great measure public enterprises? And, like our | schools and our churches, not so much 1 by the magnificence of the structure, | but, as like good citizens, by their | character should we know them. | Is it not most befittine and proper, therefore, that city and it's citizens
 individually and collectively, and par i ticularly smart society, civic organiZa 1 tions, clubs, schools colleges, churches,
 and the press, should take a keen inter est in the encouragement and advance ment of the theater to the purpose that l higher ideals may be achieved and first | class attractions promoted that reflect
 credit on the institution, and give spir- | itual growth to the patrons of the ar i tistic in music and drama?
 l Herewith permit me to submit a

CIVIC LEAGUE
 MEETING TO-DAY

The meeting of the Civic League this afternoon will be given over to Better Babies,"' Mrs. F. c. Struckmeyer dis cussing> what Phoenix has done for the conservation of it's babies and Mrs Charles Bradford telling of this move ment elsewhere.
 Mrs. J. C. Norton, who has had charge of the Better Babies" contest at the State Fair grounds for several years, will tell of her work in that capacity. There is an understanding that the physicians of this city will be unable in the future to devote the time required for the making of medical eX- aminationS of the children entered and that this means there will be no more Better Babies" contests. The Civic League has looked upon these contests as one of the most important mediums for the conservation of babies and the education of the mothers along that line.

Trust Company Service
Safety First

A professional man mapped out his life for retirement at the age of sixty, and as he had planned, entrusted his accumulations to Trust Company and retired to a life of leisure and recreation
 His friends protested, "Why not use your money in some activities from which you will derive greater income than from the conservative investments to which a Trust Company is restricted?"
 He replied, "I know too much of the human brain to trust it with my future Every seven years the cells of the human brain change. That is why some men sud denly go wrong, or do some unaccountable or unexpected thing. I want my money with a soulless corporation, where it will be handled upon system, not according to the vagaries of any one mind.''

"You are ill, and l have come here and

He drew her to his arms again.
"You help me just by loving me. just
to know that you do makes me strong.
But there is nothing else that you can do
as there no friend that l can go to?"
"No-no one. There is nothing any

in alarm.

He met her in the middle of the room;
and as his arms closed round her the room
seemed to them both blotted out. There
were no barred windows, no guarded doors
in the world-no world but that which
they held in their arms.
But suddenly she drew back.

which he advised her to persuade Mrs.
Martinez to accompany her back to Mrs
Gils. Juaila was well enough to be moved
the doctor wrote and in his opinion the
change would be good for her.
This message put Alba in quandary,
for it had been her purpose to remain at
Santa Ysobels. To continue to live with
the sonora under the existing conditions
would be too difficult for them both, she
felt. However, her attempt to express
this feeling to Blanca was met by such
contrite pleading that she had yielded.
1t was after Mrs. Martinez was COM
fortably settled in her new bed that, alone
with Alba, Blanca had as gently as pos
sble told the girl of the developments of
the preceding night. The news of the
arrest Alba took very quietly.

offer that solace; "but he refuses to ex-

"Roderick McRae?" echoed Alba. "Who

"Oh-you don't know" Blanca said;

opened newspaper lying there and held
it out to the girl "This will tell you the
story better than | can, she explained;

"Yes-it must be. Have you never

"Yes, yes; it is, sonora. l must see

came after their arrival at their destna-
