Pretty Merle Batson, daughter of MT. and Mrs. ". A. Batscn of Los Angeles and Douglas, who for the past four months has presided over the tele- phones in the Western Union office afternoon and evenings, beat Dan Cupid at his own game late Saturday night, when she accepted the proposal of J. D. Ray, popular young civil engineer of Phoenix and the Imperial valley, to enter into the holy bonds of wedlock without delay. A midnight wedding at the Christian church parsonage, fol- followed the routing out of bed of Chief Deputy Clerk J. Elmer Johnson, a trip to the court house, where a mar riage license was written, and an earn est appeal to Rev. w. s. Buchanan to don enough clothes to be presentable while he read the service.
 It all followed an automobile ride to Mesa and a late supper in the south side town On the way back from Mesa the spark of love between the two burst into flame and when Tempe was reached a minister was called from his slumbers and asked to perform the marriage ceremony Informed that the ceremony could not be performed with out a marriage license, the young couple incurred what procedure would be necessary to secure the necessary document at that hour of the night The Tempe clergyman told them that Cupid Johnson was particularly obliging and gave his home address in Phoenix
 Ever ready to please happy couples, Johnson scrambled into his clothes and accompanied the two to the court house, entered the deserted building ard wrote in the required words on the dotted lines. And then he accompanied them to the church parsonage where ne acted as Q witness to the ceremony
 All this leaked out yesterday, and then Mr and Mrs. Ray were the re- cipients of hearty congratulations from a host of friends in this city. They expect to leave for California the iat- ter part of the week.

 Wages Being Considered

If Mayor Peter Corpstein has his way, every married city employe who cnlists for service in the army or navy. excepting officers. will be paid by the city the difference between the salarN naid bv the government and that paid to them by the city at the time of their enlistment Unmarried men without dependents, under the mayors plan. would bo continued on the city payroll at half pay
 II all came through the reading of 2 telegram addressed to the mayor. signed by the chairman Of the recruit ine committee on National Defense, qsI'ng that the city cooperate in holding national recruiting day. Al the suggestion of Mayor Corpstein the telegram was turned over to Cap tain !. L. B. AleXandeI and Col J. H. McClintock.
 Then the mayor announced thai soy eral citizens had suggested to him that the city should do something for employees who showed their patriotism by enlisting for service He said that he personally drought it would be a good idea to set an example for other employers and for other cities by al lowing them at least half pay during their service.
 City Clerk Thomas stated that he understood the city of Los Angeles -haG proposed to pay all married men who enlisted, excepting the officers the difference between the salary paid by the government and that paid to them by the city and in the case of single meE to pay one-half the amount.

More than a hundred and fifty delegates and pastors from outside churches are in Tempe for the the convention and everywhere the spirit of interest and enthusiasm is manifest that promises making this meeting of the Arizona leaders the most successful of any that have been held.

Ariz0nan@ Not Of Kind to Wed
 To Avoid Army

Arizona men are made of sterner stuff than to marry to avoid mili- .tary service, according to Clerk James Miller, Jr., of the superior court and head of the marriage Ii cense department Of the county.
 Although there has been an un precedented rush of applicants for licenses, MT. Miller does not believe himself beyond the pale of conscrip ton by this means, or in any other manner. According to an Associ ated Press dispatch in yesterdays issue of The Arizona Republican, City Clerk ScuIly of New York declared that men in the east were hurrying to the altar to save them selves from the trenches. They were branded as towards" and "sIackers" by the clerk of the i- censes bureau.
 Mr. Miller stated yesterday that while he noted an unusual number Of licenses had been granted in the past few days he did not believe that native ArizonIan would hide behind a woman's skirts. He said that he suspected that few eastern tourists had the war in mind when they called for license but that he was confident that Arizona men were not of that type.
 Furthermore Mir. Miller does not believe that marriage should stand in the way of mans duty to his country and his flag. He claims that ruliy as many unmarried as married men have duties and family ties to be considered.

 COOD THING NON
Military Training in High and Nolmals Approved as
 Fitting Measure for These
 Times of War and Stress

A committee appointed by the cham Der of commerce to investigate and re- port on the bill recently passed hv the legislature which makes military | training in high school of the state compulsory, has reported and finds no fault with the bill in the present crisis. They are for it, and believe that in the present crisis no action should be talk en to bring it to a referendum. The committee states in it's report that there may be some objectionable features in the bll but that the com 1 mission which will be in charge of the training will undoubtedly be able to put the law in force so as to overcome these objections
 Dr. J. C. Norton, Harry Asbury and John D. Loper, superintendent of the Phoenix public schols, made up the committee. Their report is as follows:
 The committee appointed by the chamber of commerce to examine the bill passed by the last legislature pro- viding for iltary training in the nor nal and high schools, find after care ful examination of said bill, that there may be some things included in the bill that, at any other time might be qUes toned but the present when our coun- try should be united solidly behind those in authority, is no time to ques tion any part of this, or any other measure intended for the defense of the country
 We believe that a course of military instruction can be so arranged by the commission in charge, that all the Ob- jections of the bill may easily be over come; and to that end we recommend that the course prepared by the com mission be so arranged as to include the only manual of arms in the first and second years of the high school. and that reasonable amount of rifle practice be added in the junior and senior years."

Never in the history of photo drama exhibitions has production aroused more uni versal comment and praise than has this latest and greatest Lasky photo drama.

 The story of this famous Maid 0: Orleans has been handled in a most unusual manner. The spirit of Joan of Arc is inspiring to the men on the bat tie fields of France today.

''The Money Mill" is the picture at the Hip today and tomorrow. The Motion Picture News, reviewing it. best tells the tale when it says: Dor othy Kelly and Evart Overton co-star in this fast-moving plot of varying for tunes and love versus wealth. Sud den riches through a gold strike a poor boy in love with a rich girl but who feels the gulf between them and who is helped by the joss of the girls fortune long enough 70 establish the true state of affairs are elements that are sure fire enough to make The Money Mil' equal to, if not ahead, of the standard set by the Vitagraph."
 Dorothy Kelly, the vampire" of the Vitisraph, is seen in a new role, that of sweet girl, who is a good woman. and the splendid way in which she plays the part stamps her as one of the real versatile stars of the picture world. Evart Overton is fast becoming one of the best liked matinee idols of pictures.
