More than 300 Phoenix citizens turned out at the Arizona Eastern de- pot last night to bid God speed to the 17 young men who left for Naco to join the forces of the First Arizona reei- ment. It was a great send that cit izers gave these young men, who were promised even greater homage on their return.

 Attorney Clyde Candy. a Spanish war veteran, was the first speaker of the evening. He told of tine soldiers duty to his flag, to his country. Many hard ships would be encountered, he told them, and undoubtedly many would tire of patrol duty, but. he added. it was all in the making of a soldier better man.

 1t May be Your Daughter" credit ed with being one of the most pro- found Dreachments ever filmed, opens this evening at the Arizona theater and continues for four days.
 The greatest morality preachment ever produced for screen presenta- tion in this city, Tt May be Your Daughter" IL is not q white slave. play, as is generally supposed. but a warning to parents that their daugh- ters, above the age of tNeh e, should not be kept in ignorance of the temp tauons to which young girls are sub 1ected in any modern city. And q profound warning it is. No parent can leave the Arizona theater, after a screening of this great photo drama, without realizing that his childre,: are not given a fair start unless they are told of the penalties, the dangers and the suffering that inevitably re- suit to those who stray from the paths or innocence and virtue to fol- low the false glitter oT the white lights. And the play, which develops the sermon by the story within q story method, is a graphic illustra- ton Of these evils--ard also the re- wards of virtue.

WHO'S A SuPERCRAT?-Among
the people who class themselves as
intellectual, there is prevalent fall
lacy that they were from birth more
intellectual than others, l. e., they
have more brain capacity than the
average man. ..-.
They believe that they are as much
superior to the average man intellec-
tually as the average man is supe-
Tior to the chimpanzee. This fallacy,
while it fiatters the ego, cannot be
proven by the knowledge now ex-
tant.
It was due to the prevalence of this
idea that the pseudo-science of
phrenOlogy sprung into being a cen
fury or more ago, and it was because
facts could not justify this idea that
the limitation science, of phrenology
has dwindled and decayed.
Science has weighed, masured
and tested in various ways the
bEains of various men and can find
no difference in their composition,
structure, ETC., from which to worm
a consistent gradatiOn of intellectual
ability, the intellectual person some%
times having a smaller brain than
the know-nothing, and vice versa.
The difference in the intellectual
efficiency Of different normal persons
is largely difference Of organiza-
ton of knowledge.
The neighboFhoOd gossip has as
=
his or her Uranium as a Darwin or
Huxley has in his, but the knowledge
of the gossip is unrelated knowledge
and cannot be organized into one
whole, whereas an Intellectual sage
has assimilated about the same
quantity of knowledge, related
knowledge, which because Of its re-
lation can be organized into one log
ical whole. The biologist stores many
items of knowledge concerning life;

point. He asked me what thought
about sociahzing society. was soN
chilly 1 couldn't think. So I remark
ed that perhaps society as a whole
might not want to be sociaIized Per
haps it might not need it. Perhaps
we might begin the sOcializing at
the wrong end and have to undo
some of it.
Then, rather abruptly, I speeded
up to the hot radiator in our nat. AS
soon as 1 thawed out enough to think
a little I went across the hall and
asked Bicycles to think for me.
He said maybe was right, but it
was a safe thing to apologize to
Dobbs. He claimed that socializing
light and water service in Chicago
didn't do the workers any good.
What pecuniary advantage came
from these improvements went right
straight into the Golfers of the land
lords. The city was a better place to
live and the landowners made the
disinherited pay more for the priVi-
lege of staying on Chicago land.
Wages didn't rise. Rents did. He
said it might be better to begin by
socializing the land. Then we would
get a good revenue that we could ap-
ply to soeiaizing the rest of the
things; if we found it necessary. And
that revenue would come in a way
that wouldn't raise rents or decrease
wages. 1t would come from the
profits -of the monopolzers of land
and would widen the opportunities
for the. workers and increase their
wages. - N

landowners would object to such a
radical measure and would arise in

Yulio ozaAd, Japan's great progressive

He said that the adoption of a uni

way of saving the country. from Cor

franchise would do no more thin low

. voiced the opinion that the, giving of
votes to the educated classes, includ-
ing graduates from middle or higher
schools, irrespective of property or tax
qualifications, would be one remedy
for existing corruption.

Asks Divorce Because
Wife Hit Him in Eye
With Griddle Cakes


Declaring that his wife threw grid
die cakes at him, hit him over the eye
with a shoe and did other things
which caused him to lose 80 pounds,
Peter L. Meveken of this city took the
stand in the superior court yesterday
in his divorce suit against Marion
c. Neveken of this city. Neveken said
his wife left him II times but he al
ways took her back.
After their marriage in 1912 Neve-
ken discovered his wife was very fond
of dancing. When he demonstrated
with her about going out nights she
was apt to pick up anything handy
and hurl 1t at him. Once she took
$3.50 belonging to her husband and
spent all but $11.75 at Sayin Rock
The trouble was that Neveken admit
ted he lived with his wife eight
months after her last crue1ties SO the
court refused to grant a divorce.

Proceed at once to make a thor

ship Solace in connection with the
charges of i'll treatment and improper
conditions. 1t is a great favor I am
asking, but an equally great service
that you can render the nation. These
charges come on the very eve of reg
