For Yavapai County: Frank o. Smith chairman; T. G. Norris, P. w. O'Sullivan.
 For Yuma County: Frank Baxter. chairman: Clement H. Coleman, Thom- as D. Molloy.
 These names were forwarded by Governor Campbell to General Crowder with the following letter:
 With further reference to your let ter of November 6. setting forth a new plan for the selection of men for mili- tary service, would beg to advise you that at meeting held in Phoenix yes terday legal advisory boards for the various counties in Arizona were se- lected
 The action above referred to was taken by Joseph H. Kibbey, chairman of the central board, and members Wi ley E. Jones and, John H. Campbell"
 These legal advisory boards chosen for each county will have entire charge of the organizations in their respective counties. They will go into the matter of selecting lawyers in every locality to act in an advisory capacity to every registered man.
 Members of the Maricopa county bar association stand ready to cooperate with the local advisory board in the matter of aiding the registrants in an- swering the questions put to them un- der the new regulations of the selective service law.
 At a meeting held in Judge Stan lords court room yesterday and more largely attended than any previous gathering of the association, every lawyer present voted to stand ready to Cooperate with the board and assist the selected men in filling out the questions. The suggestion was made that the attorneys volunteer their ser vices, but this was met with instant disapproval
 It was argued that the spirit of the times made every man liable, and that each and every one should be subject to call. During the period of registra- tion it is believed that from five to ten lawyers will be called upon daily to aid in the work, and no one qualified to give legal advicssis expected to ask for exemption.
 The courts throughout the country are to do their bit by postponing trials If necessary. in order that the lawyers can give their undivided attention to the matter on hand The questions the selected men will be called upon to an- swer are many and fill a volume the size of the Congressional Record It was stated yesterday that it would take lawyer at least one day to become fa- miliar with the subject matter.
 The meeting of the local bar was presided over by Judge Joseph H. Kib- bey president of the state bar associ- ation. with Earl Curtis acting as sec retary.

Behold how great matter a little fire
 kindleth!
 And the Tongue is fire, world of
 iniquity,
 It setteth on fire the course of nature; And it is set on fire of hell.
 -JsN4es, Oh. III, V. }, 6.
 This verse taktfl from scripture is the basic argunJent of the scenarlo prepared by thS combined efforts of William Humphrey and George F.. Hall. It is a comprehensive verse, and While unquestionably has been taken as text for uncounted thousands of sermons, the dramatic possibilities reach their climatic heights in the picture present. ed in "Babbling Tongues"
 The all-star cast composed of James Morrison, Arthur Donaldson, Grace Valentine and Paul Capellani, needs no introduction. They are prominently fixed in the constellation of the theat- rical sky; their gathering in one pro- duction under the masterful direction of William Humphrey assures the i'm ished artistry necessary for so preten- tiouS theme.
 The story is one dealing with the trials and vicissitudes brought about by inconsiderate remarks and actions of people, not exactly malicious, yet so poignant in their effect that 1t brings death to a noble and kind man. the de- struction of the peace of others who were entitled by their inherent virtues to the happiness which is the reward of righteousness. Then, being whipped and scourged by evil tongues out from the shelter of society, the victims find happiness and peace in each others arms, conscious of the allSufflclency of pure love tried as by fire.
 "Babbling Tongues" full of new sit nations and tremendous climaxes has been proclaimed by press and public as a novel addition to the motion pie ture art. 'Babbling Tongues" will open at the Columbia theater today, matinee and evening.

peculiarity of dress or accoutrements.
 The famous Black Watch regiment was formed of separate companies of watchmen recruited for duty in Edin- burgh and other Scottish cities. They wore dark tartans of black, green and blue, and on account of their sombre garb citizens dubbed them 'The Black Watch" When these police companies were gathered into the Forty second Highlanders of the British army their sobriquet remained and to this day, after a century and a half the regi- ment is so known thoughout the world by it's unofficial title.
 The facings worn on many of the British uniforms in the old days be- fore low visibility became a military asset resulted in scores of nicknSmes. The "Brickdusts" are the Fifty third Foot, so called from the dull red facings which once adorned their uni forms. The Twenty-fourth Foot was known as Towards Greens, because of the hue of the facings and the name of the colonel.
 The Fifth Dragons are ''The Green Horse" because of the color of their clothing, but the Black Horse, the Seventh Dragons, knowns also as the Princess Royal Dragoon Guards. were so designated from the color of their mounts, as were the Scots Greys.
 One of the oldest of the British reg iments, the East Yorkshire, which did effective service against the American forces in the Revolution, was famil- iarly hailed as The Snappers," be- cause when they ran out of ammuni- ton they snapped their triggers as a hint for more.
 The Duke of Cornwalrs English in fantry had the nickname of the Red Feathers" because orders had been given to show them no quarter during the American Revolution.
 The Queens Royal West Surrey was known as Kirkes Lambs," because this famous command, organized by Kirke, was far from lamblike. The Seventh Foot, which saw fierce service in India, came spontaneously by it's sobriquet, "The Bengal Tigers, , The Seventy seventh Foot, which was just as couragesous, got no more mar tial nickname than The Pothooks, " forsomeone had noticed the resemblance between the numere-< and such a hook.
 The battle cry of the Royal Irish F'usiliers was in booming, raucous Gaelic, which suggested a siren in thick weather, hence the sobriquet "Old Fogs." The First Dragoon Guards had a colonel who thought the continual polishing and furnishing of buckels

WATER SERVICE EXTENSIONS IN
 NUMEROUS
Record Set During Month of October Shows Many New Buildings Are Now
 Building or Completed

Nineteen water services for immed fate use were installed by the city water department during the month of October. It was the record month of the year with the number of installa- tions more than twice that of any pre- vious month of 1917. In addition eight other services were installed which will not be utilized immediately, but which were put in where paving is in progress and will ultimately finnish water for dwellings yet to be erected.
 These figures would mean little of themselves if they did not indicate that as many residences or new places of business were under construction during October. Few if any houses arc to be found in Phoenix where connec- tion with the city water system has not already been established. And so when new services are installed, it gen. orally means that new building is be- ing erected.
 Some idea of the increased develop ment along this line noticeable during October, can be gained through a glance at the figures secured yesterday from the office of City Water Superin- tendent " A. Thompson showing the number of services installed each month of this year. In January ther. were five such installations. in Febru- ary there were six, in March nine; April six; May, seven; June, eight Ju ly. nine; August. eight; September, six and in October 19. So far this month there have been seven installa tions. This makes a total of 90 install lations for this year. This does not in- clude installations for future use, but has to do only with those planned for immediate service. And in this connec- tion is it also apparent that while there were nineteen services for immediate use installed in October, there may have been other services placed in commission which had been installed at some previous time. So there may in reality be more than 19 new services for October and accordingly more than nineteen new buildings in the course nf ,ctr l1nti icra

Earle Williams at the Hip

To give one woman the power to love and to save another woman from the gutter-to restore natures bal ance-was the motive that prompted Dr. Brandt to try an amazing experi- ment with human brain cells. Gifted with an uncanny skill in surgery, he sought to meddle with human desti- nies. And underlying his first pur- pose was a deeper one, for he loved the woman who could not love him. One woman loved with a passionate in- tensity that knew no bounds. Her un-
 leashed love reckoned neither with duty nor consequences. This woman he treated with cold disdain. Another
 woman he loved but as Cupid toys with love destinieS, this one was coldly unresponsive to his most ardent WOOL
 ing. An accident brought the two
 women to his office and he tried to undo Gods handiwork, to make the
 love of one inspire love where none
 was known. He performed the re- markable experiment. It was a sur gical success. but he reckoned without
 God, and the wreck of happiness that followed gives reason for "The Love Doctor" a Vitagraph picture bringing gifted Eearle Williams to the Hip to- day and tomorrow.
 A comedy and Pathe News augment the bill today, and tomorrow Alice
 Brady in a first run picture. 'The Di- | vorce Game,"' will be added for good
 measure making another of the Hips sparkling double shows. Constance Talmage is underlined for Sunday.
 William Farnum is Attraction
 In one of the strongest bills in which | this great actor has ever been seen William Farnum opened his engage
 ment at the Empress last night, ap- bearing in William Fox's picture,
 "The Conqueror" The audience which filled the spacious theater was first awed then excited, then thrilled, then l mystified. as Farnum in the role of | Sam Houston brought before them the events which made the life of this 1 famous frontiersman one of the most
 picturesque in history. Starting at the 1 time when Houston, then a young man
 was familiar figure among the In- | dians, a "close up" of his wonderful
 influence among the redskins is offered
 gained him their unlimited and un- I dying friendship. a friendship which | played so important a part in the later years of his life. His career is closely followed until we find him in
 Tennessee where he meets Eliza Allen,
 a flower of southern aristocracy. It
 was his overwhelming love for this
 woman that proved the unfortunate
 romance of this sturdy mans life. His
 marriage to the Tennessee rose" leads | to life of unhappiness, and he leaves
 the scene of his political triumphs to
 seek solace among the redskins with
 whom he spent his earlier life. At this point in the wonderful narrative are
 flashed scenes that lead up to the cli-

 When the last show is finished this evening. the present engagement of Americas Sweetheart" Mary Pick ford, will have been brought to a close at the Lamara where she is appearing in The Little American" her latest Aircraft picture. The production was staged under the direction of Cecil B. DeMille, whose Joan the Woman" will be remembered with a great deal of pleasure by those who were fortunate enought to see it. Our Mary" is seen as young American girl, a member of the smart set' in Washington, where she is courted by a member of the French diplomatic service as well as young German American. She rather favors the young German-American but at the outbreak of the war, the romance is blasted through the return of both suitors to their homes across the sea, where they answer the call to the colors. Receiving an invitation from her aunt who resides in France, the little American" starts out on an eventful journey. When the liner is in mid ocean, and while a fancy ball is in progress, the boat is struck by a torpedo fired by hostile submarine.
 It would spoil a most exceptional picture to tell what happens from that point on but it should be understood that the story is wonderful lesson in patriotism.

Blue Ribbon Meeting

What promises to be the greatest
racing in the history of the trOtting
turf will be seen during the thirty-third
annual Blue Ribbon meeting of the
Detroit Driving Club at the state fair
grounds, July % to IS. This will be
the second meeting in the chain of
tracks known as the Grand Circuit, and
in addition to the campaigning stables
from Cleveland there will be an unus-
ual number of recruits from the win
ners of the Short Ship Circuit, where
such good racing prevails this year.
Not only is there large original
entry i'm the classics which features the
Detroit meeting, but so few horses have
been withdrawn that the outlook is for
exceptional fields. This combined with
the high class of the trotters and PAGERS
engaged should insure carnival of
speed and the likelihood of many new
track records.
In the arrangement of the program
for the five afternoons the Pontchar-
train stake for PA trotters comes on
Monday, July 23; the Board of Com
MERGE $1,000 stake for 206 PAGERS on
Tuesday; the world famous NJ. and M.
stake of $4,000 for 2:0S trotters on
Wednesday; the free for all pace on
Thursday and the free for all trot on
Friday. Each of the is f1anked with
from two to three late closing events.
In addition to racing card of rare
merit there will be daily musical pro-
grams furnished by one of the best
bands obtainable.

Cook Brothers Circus.

The near approach of the Cook
Brothers show day in this city serves
to accentuate the extraordinary charac-
ter Of this thoroughly up-to-date exhi-
btion. While 1t is fundamentally an
exposition of remarkably-trained wild
animals, everyone of which has been
captured in it's native wilds, it is also
a modern circus deluxe, and diversity
of its performances appeals to the lover
of high-class entertainment.
Cook Brothers, it is said, have been
particularly fortunate in securing the
services of some of the most famous
and expert trainers, not only of this
country, but also of Europe. In this
they have, of course, been more or less
aided by the great war which has per.
mitted several of the great Hagenback
and other world-famous trainers to
come to America owing to the closing
of so many of the great geological exhi-
billions. The results are seen in the
distinctively novel offerings of the Cook
Brothers trained animal circus. The
lion groups, the trained bears, the Won
derful performances given by great
company of tigers and pumas, the seal
numbers, the leopard act, the school of
elephants, and the "bits" in which more
familiar animals like monkeys, dogs,
horses, donkeys and ponies appear, are
all such as to stamp the show as novel,
unique and unusual.
The excellence of the performances,
according to preliminary reports, does
not stop with the wild animal displays.
The olympian sports and the exhibit
tiOns of daring cleverness in the arena
engage the services of what are credited
with being the most expert acrobats,
aerialists, riders and other circus per-
formers in the United States. And, by
way of merry diversity, there is small
army of clowns who contribute their
share toward giving the show SNAP
and ego"
Cook Brothers day in this city, next
Saturday, June 30 will be inaugurated
with spectacular free street parade
which will leaye the exhibition grounds
at 1920 and traverse the principal down
town streets.
