Consideration of questions of labor supply took the major part of the time of the State Council of Defense exc cutive committee, which had its month ly meeting yesterday.
 It was the first meeting since re- turn of Chairman Dwight B. Heard from Washington and he had much of importance to transmit from the state councils section of the Council of National Defense. He brought the pleasant word that at the national capital Arizona is classed among the first of all the inter mountain states in the degree of efficiency attained by its state council. There has been com pliment over the Arizona crop sur vey, commendation of the idea of turn ing over organization of the county councils of the several county boards of supervisors and warm ap- proval of the plans locally made for the welfare service work now being carried on effectively by the Arizona Red Cross service section.
 The gentlemen of the state council section," said MT Heard, showed every possible consideration and courtesy, and feel that many or the suggestions they made will be or infinite help as Oul NOlh QtNtlOpS. 1HcN lSdliLS lully that many suggestions are not ap- plicable to our comparatively small and largely scattered population. They seem to appreciate very fully, however, that we have been making determined | effort to make our work locally practi- cal and effective.'
 The committee meeting gave especial attention to the question of importation of Mexican laborers, something urged by the cotton growers or the Salt River Valley, who have written that they will need about 25,000 such laborers for the next seasons picking. To get them, it is asked that there be further suspension of the head tax and literacy tests on the border. There was passing reference to the late action of the Car ranza government in placing an en- bargo on Mexican emigrant labor. The matter was referred 70 the labor com

WILLIAM $. HART
 FEATURED AT HIP.

There are three things that make the Hip offering today, Sunday and Monday an event in local picture history. First, w. S. Hart, dean of western movie stars, directed by Thos. H. Ince, comes, and, last but not least, a great gripping western picture tale laid at the Grand Con- yon of Arizona.
 Hart, Ince and the Grand Canyon make a trio hard to beat when sup piled through the medium of a smashing western tale, such as "The Bargain has proven to be.
 The critics who have followed Hart believe that this special state right picture done by the incom- parable Ince is the master effort of Hart. Sure it is that no picture he has ever done has attracted wider attention as this offering.
 It is distinguished for the reason that Hart, always an originator of things in western movie circles, out Harts himself in The Bargain In one scene, as the outlaw, he rides like the wind on his faithful pony to escape the persuing posse, and finding himself trapped at the very brink of a great canyon, he puts spurs to the faithful steed and both go over the cliff to what looks like certain death. It is said that in motion pictures there never has been leap by horse and rider that started to equal this daring stunt.
 When Hart recovered after several months of confinement following the fall, he vowed never to again take such chances, and in none of his sub seuuent pictures has he ever at tempted to duplicate the feat that

 HOLLAND RIGHTS.

Arizona men who have joined the colors will not forfeit any of their rights they may have secured in public lands of this state nor suffer the can cellation of any certificates of purchase through default in the payment of in- stallments
 An opinion to this effect has just been made by Wiley F. Jones, attorney general who has replied to an inquiry made by William A. Moeur, state land commissioner. The attorney general advises the land commissioner to take no steps against any of the soldiers in this respect. His letter to MT. Moeur is as follows:
 Phoenix, Arizona, March 1, 1918 Hon. w. A. Moeur,
 State Land Commissioner,
 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 l am just in receipt of your letter of yesterday calling my attention to Sec tion 64 of the Public Land Code, pro- viding for the cancellation of Certif- icates of. Purchase in the case of de- fault in payment of installments
 You ask if Congress has passed an act protecting men in the service from the cancellation of any contracts they have made. I cannot answer this in quiry at this moment. not having such act of congress, if passed, before me; but, as attorney general I would sug- gest. and as member of the state land department I would advise and urge that no steps be taken to declare or claim default at this time against any of our soldiers who have gone to the European firing line in obedience to the mandate of our government. I think such action as above suggested should be taken by the land department as a Just and patriotic course in encourage ment of those who are performing their patriotic duty at this hour in the ser vice of our country.
 Very respectfully,

Chairman Croaff stated that he would call the labor committee together within few days to take up this subject. Present at the discussion were Frank Brown of the government employment service and M. o. Evans, an Agricultural de- partment field agent.
 Other subjects taken up, largely with some reference to coordination of ef- fort with the national council covered provision of legal aid to soldiers called to the colors and similar assistance to their dependents left behind; the deslrabllity of representation of women on all committees; construction of highways, with consideration of the possible limitation of wartime eXpen- ditures and of bond issues by the na- tonal government; preventinn of vag- rancy, the finding of work for every l idle man and the suppression of volun- | tary idleness; economy in retail de- livery service, something that appears to be well under way in Arizona; Americanization of aliens, and war time programs for chiiorens activities.

"A Hearts Revenqe" '


 "A Hearts Revenge" with Madame Sonia Markova, is the attraction at the Empress Saturday. The story of this play begins in Washington, where a crafty Russian baron, aided by Chinese doctor, with his Chi nese medicines is trying to win the hand of the daughter of an attache of the Russian government. This girl is in love with and is engaged to marry a young American who has entered the service of the United States as an aviator
 The end comes in one of those daredevil motorboat chases. The water scenes are particularly at tractive, shots" having been taken from any odd angles. One was ground out while the camera was dashed to a spar.
 It is all action, action, action; thrill, thrill, thrill.
 Madame Markova shows up splen- didly After the trick that takes her sweetheart from her she has one set purpose and she drives through to the climax with great dramatic power
 A somewhat new element in pie lures is that of the Chinese. Tn "A Hearts Revenge" they enter into the scheme of things nicely and lend much celestial color to the picture.
 The Chinese girl gives a splendid idea of her mental distress. She is swayed by doubt as to whether she should obey Buddha or the new world god To aid her mistress she acts according to the western de- mands and then kills herself for dis obeying the celestial god.

The Columbia will be full of features today, and all of them good ones. The big childrens matinee is slated for this afternoon and the pro- gram promises many happy sur prises. The program consists of Peggy O'Neil, in The Penny Philan thropist;' Mary McAllister, in Steps to Somewhere" the Ford Weekly known as "The Eyes of the Allies and a Happy Hooligan comedy. The most sensational of these will be the Eyes of the Allies" In addition to carrying an intensely interesting story of life in the naval training camps, it is destined to be of mate rial assistance to the government ill rebuking propaganda prejudieial to the management of these camps. The series has been approved in Wash ington by the navy department, and the committee on public information, and is hailed by the navy as of great assistance in recruiting.
 "The Penny Philanthropist' has much to offer to the public. Not only is it an adoption of a good story which has been popular in book form, but in it appear two players with whom the public is well acquainted through their work on the legitimate stage - Peggy O'Neil and Ralph Morgan.

 In the company are some of the brightest lights of the musical comedy world, and many of the pretiest girls who have ever come out of the elite east to edify the western taste in fem inity.
 The gorgeous costuming, the brilliant settings and the tuneful musical num- bers make the attraction very inviting while such comedians as Frances Young, Lew Dunbar, Earle Caldwell, Jimmie Edwards assure a delightful and capable handling of the roles.
 The eccentric comedienne Dorothy Waters will be seen to good advantage as Mrs. Gen. Jackson while the diminu- tive prima donna Eunice Gilman, the queen of jazz, Pearl Lowree and charm ing Margery Shaw will appear in suit able roles.
