ARIZONA WILL HAVE HARD TASK
 FINDING ENOUGH F0R |TS QUOTA
State Officials Figure It That Not Enough Men for All Branches of Service
 Will Be Found ill State

To the front, every able-bodied single man in Arizona who has no one de pendant upon him.
 To recruit the First Arizona infantry to full war strength as ordered by the government, and in addition to furnish Arizona's quota for the first army of 800. 00O to he raised by selective draft will take every eligible man in the state
 This is the declaration of state house officials who have made a study of the matter and they proceed to back up the statement with census figures, war department data and orders from Washington concerning the selective draft.
 They go even further. They declare that there are not enough men in the state, eligible in every way, to fill this order from Washington, and this is the way they go about to prove it:
 Of the estimated present population of Arizona of 250000 they make the es- timate that there are 200, 900 Americans among that number The war depart ment has declared that the age limit of 21 to 30 inclusive will apply to one in ten, men women and children in the United States. That cuts Arizona s ! 100000 Americans to 10000. | Of this number, it is estimated that ! 50 per cent are married or have some one dependent upon them, which leaves
 a balance of 10000 men. Again, it is | shown by army data that only one man f in four can pass the physical test which reduces the army of eligibles to 1 2.500 which, the officials declare, is the 1 total number which can be secured ir
 the state under the restrictions of the | draft regulations.

HIGHER PRICE
 MUCHDEbATED

With just enough members present to constitute a quorum and with Vice Mayor MacBean acting in the place of Mayor Corpstein. who is absent at tending a Red Cross convention in Los Angeles. the city commission yesterday morning devoted it's attention to paving matters. The outcome of the meeting was that three paving contracts were awarded to David Jones, who was alone in bidding.
 Before the contracts were finally awarded there was considerable dis cussion relating to the causes leading up to higher bids than have recently been submitted. It was shown that Jones was asking 33 cents more for 26A Bitulithic paving than the last of that class of paving cost the property own CTS His figure was Sl-aS per square yard Mir Jones explained that in creased cost of material and equipment made it impossible and unprofitable to submit a lower bid The contract for the paving of Portland place was fin ally awarded at this price and for this class. Contracts were also awarded to Jones for the paving of Monroe street between First and Second avenues. and from Central avenue to First avenue. Bitulithic of 25A class will be laid in each instance.
 Harry Taffe sent word to the com mission that he was willing to cooper ate with the city in bringing about the removal of objectionable billboards. He said that he will take down any bill- board the commission declares to be detrimental to the health or safety of citizens of Phoenix.

MINIMUM WAGE REFERENDUM |S
 BLOCK ID BILL
Sufficient Names Signed
 to Insure Taking Act of Legislature Before the
 People of State for Vote

The minimum wage law for women is to go before the people of Arizona who will decide by ballot whether or not they are in favor of the law as passed by the last legislature which set the minimum wage for women and girls in Arizona at $10 per week
 Referendum petitions containing a total of 2.957 names were filed in the office of Secretary of State Osborn yesterday. Only 2,915 names are re- quired to secure referendum, there fore it is certain that there will be ballot taken on the law.
 The minimum wage bill for women was introduced in the last legisla ture by Mrs. Mckay of Cochise coun- ty It had stormy career in both the house and the senate, was amended several times and the orig inal minimum of SIP per week re- duced to s10. The bill was not passed until nearly the close of the session.
 Numerous letters from parties who declared that their names to the ref erendum petition against the mini mum wage law had been placed there without their consent, have been re- ceived by Secretary of State Osborn. The letters are accompanied by affl- daVits citing specific instances. The total number of letters of this sort. however, is not enough to reduce the number of signers below the required number for a referendum, MT. Os- born delcared.

Burst of Glass
 Substituted For
 Burst of Music

Joe Tilger was merriIy engaged in washing the plate sIess windows of the Rosenzweig jewelry store yes terday afternoon. He had completed the work along the East Washington street frontage and then he began on the windows along Cactus Way
 Just as Joe was about to burst into song because of the progress he was making, an auto truck came bowling along Cactus Way. Before Tiger realized what was happening the truck adopted the tactics of goat and bucked the young man through the plate glass window. Just how Tilger escaped injury is not known. The truck was not injured, didn't even hesitate. Bystanders took the number of the truck and it may be that the driver, # he calls at the ewelry store, will find that it wouldn't cost SO much to settle at this time as it may if the police make an arrest.

"The Barrier Coming

The Barrier elom Rex Beach's famous novel. is of the type that makes the pulse beat faster. It is said to be one of the most absorbing pictures that has ever been seen. Al the opening at the Broadway theater. New York, there were bursts of applause every time Mitchell Lewis terminated scene. The thrills were so placed and the ac- tion developed that it compels atten- tion. It will come to the Columbia the ater shortly.
 It is q picture not to be rated by av- craze standards. The fight of the char acters is over something big. The Barrier" is bigness spelled with capi- tals. This wonderful picture was pro- duced by the Rex Beach Pictures Co.,, under the personal supervision of Rex Beach himself

"Womanhoode at the Hip


 That the public gladly welcomes a chance to pay extra prices when it is known that the product is extra value was best exemplified yesterday at the Hip where the delayed opening of a three days run of "Womanhood. the Glory of Nation stood them up af- ternoon and night
 "Womanhood" is the most timely picture of the year. It sounds the arousing note that is to make America realize that the war is no plaything and that now she has entered and must play the war game to the end.
 "Womanhood" is both an entertain ment and a great lesson spectacle in one. The wonderful scenes of the pos abilities of America once aroused are beyond description. The fact that this picture has been endorsed by the heads of every war department of the govern ment is it's best answer
 The music yesterday was in charge of Prof Fillmore and was a splendid aid to the presentation of the picture.
 "Womanhood' holds for today and Saturday playing on regular schedule.
 Finish of "Patria" Today is the last showing of one of the most successful serials ever shown
  Mrs. Vernon Castle. By some this pie I ture was well liked, to others disap- pointing. Mrs Vernon Castle is no actress. Had she been kept in society parts and in each episode had given an exhibition of her wonderful dancing. the picture would have been more success full. As an exposition of war and the need of preparedness it fully shows the weakness of this country, and was en- 1 tertaining from that point of view.
 Charles F. Presley will show the women how easy it is to dress with six pins and a piece of cloth. This is in teresting with the present high cost oi clothes Alma Hanlon in Pride and the Devil is very good and so is the scenic.
