FUR SALE PIANO BY ELDERLY MAN
 W|THCARvEDLECS
"A large shepard dog at IA North Sixth avenue wishes home for good party"

The above request has been turned into the editorial department by par ty in whom said editorial department places the utmost confidence-the of flee boy. For that reason there is no doubt but that the office boy took the request over the telephone.
 It is quite evident that the large shepard dog" alluded to in the notice has been reading The Republican and has noticed that many owners of dogs have been asking good homes for their charges. Being an up-to-date canine he has decided to reverse the usual or der of things, thus again evidencing that the world do move.'
 For a time the editorial department had some doubts as to the accuracy of the office boys rendition of the mes sage he. had taken over the telephone but long weeks of faultless accuracy have shown him to be in that rare cat egory with Mrs. Caesar-above re- proaah. It will be a large order if The Republican is to find good homes for all of the worthy owners of dogs, but if necessary, the task will be undertaken.
 In case it is impossible to scatter the dog owners about the city in suitable homes, there is always the county hos pital as last resource putin any case it would be well, in the future, if dogs thus notifying the public would go in- to more detail with regard to their owners-say as to hair, color of eyes, age and previous condition of serv- itude.

AARON CASE TO
 BE HEARD SOON

Swearing to complaint that Mrs. Jacob Aaron had threatened to kill her, Mrs. B. E. Marks caused the arrest of Mrs. Aaron, who will be given her preliminary hearing at 10 o'clock Fri day morning before Justice Wheeler. Mrs. Aaron was arrested few days ago, Tee Sing furnishing $500 bond for her appearance, which was reduced to S100 by Justice Wheeler yesterday.
 Mrs. Marks claims that Mrs. Aaron struck here and made serious threats against her while Mrs. Aaron alleges that Mrs. Marks struck the first blow. In the affray Mrs. Aaron's glasses were broken and Dr. Hughes had to be called to dress the wound and extract the broken glass below the left eye.
 The controversy arose over MT. Marks, who appeared as counsel for the Aarons in the damage suit brought against an automobile stage line, their son Harry having been killed by an automobile stage on Labor day a year ago.

COMMISSION AND
 GOVERNOR VISIT
 STATE E'SPR|SON
New Head for State Asylum
 Reaches Phoenix to Take
 Official Charge of That
 Institution This Morning

The new commission of state insti- tutions, together with Governor George W. P. Hunt, yesterday paid it's first official visit to the state prison at Florence. In the party were the gov ernor. Homer R. Wood, Charles R. Osburn and F. C. Struckmeyer, mem bers of the board, and Dr. McCullom, of New York, who joined the others as the guest of the executive. The trip was made overland without incident and Phoenix was reached on the return trip early last evening.
 Since the new commission was ap- pointed, the members individually have gone about thoroughly familiarizing themselves with the operation and con- ditiOn of the various institutions under their control They have already vis- ited the state hospital for the insane and plan visits to the remaining insti- tutionS at as early dates as con- venience will permit.
 F. c. Struckmeyer, attorney member Of the commission, after his return last evening made a brief comment on the result of the visit. He said that some conditions were found which he felt sure the commission would feel bound to change or correct. Just what these conditions were he said would prob ably be set forth in a formal report of the commission soon.
 Dr. A. c. Kingsley, re-appointed to the superintendency of the state hos pital for the insane, vice Dr. F. C. Nor man, resigned, reached the hospital late yesterday afternoon with his fam fly having driven overland from No gales. The formal transfer it is l expected, will take place this morning J. J. Lowe, steward of the hospital under Dr. Kingsley previously, has already resumed his position. It is understood that Dr. Mills, who was | assistant physician when Dr Kingsley was superintendent previously, vii also return. AS the greater part of the employees who were at the hospita during Kingsleys superfntendency | have been retained and are still pres ent, it is not expected that there would be wholesale changes in tht personnel.

CELEBRATES NEW
 YEAR NOT WISELY

Earl Roberts, aged about fifteei. years, employed as carrier boy by the Republican, is hardly likely to usher in any succeeding New Year with the aid of a gun. A bullet wound iK his hand, sustained when 1918 was about one minute old, foi- lowed an attempt on the part of the boy to drive q wedged shell from the magazine of a 22 caliber revolver with which he had noisily welcomed the latest child of Father and Mother time.
 When the whistles began blowing, bells were ringing and general bed la mhad broken loose all over town at. midnight, Young Roberts stepped from the mailing room of The Re publican into the darkness of the night. He had the little revolver in his hand. There was three or four sharp reports and then a silence Roberts returned to the mailing room and proceeded to investigate the cause of the failure of one or two shells to explode. He removed the magazine and found two shells tightly wedged in the chambers. Securing a mail he attempted to force one of the shells from the 1 chamber. He pushed the end of the nail against the bullet and an instant later there was a report and d scream. The bullet had been sent | from the chamber and passed through his hand, dropping on the floor. His associates quickly applied bandage i to stop the flow of blood and then called Dr. Colt Hughes who after dressing the wound, administered anti -tetanus serum. This latter pre- caution was taken because of the fact that quantity of the burned
 gunpowder seemed to have beer blown into the wound

GASOLINE FIRES
 MYSTERY SOLVED

Fires from gasoline occur in dry cleaning establishments with>such fre- quency that people not familiar with the actions of gasoline wonder at the carelessness that permits these out breaks. They suppose that flames are somehow allowed to come into contact with the fumes of the gasoline. Prob ably such carelessness or no careless ness at all is the cause Of one such fire out of ten.
 The Republican has received let ter from B. J. Brooks, who conducts a dry cleaning establishment at Superior and he thinks that his experience would be of benefit to others. He was cleaning a woolen garment with gaso-
 line. In handling the garment, sat- urated with the gasoline, he received two or three slight shocks just before the ignition of the gas. Immediately the bucket was ablaze
 He had been engaged in the clean ing business for years and he says that he has frequently noticed these shocks when he has been cleaning woolen cloth but the shocks were never so noticeable as those which preceded the outbreak of the fire the other day. He felt these shocks first while the garment was immersed in the fluid but the severest one came 1 followed by the spark when he took it out of the gasoline to wiring it. The fire originated from an electric spark generated by the contact of the woolen with the gasoline.
 It is not generally known but it is a fact that gasoline explosions occur sometimes while filling an automo- bile tank by pouring the gasoline ir l from the spout of a can if the spout is 1 held away from the sides of the open 1 ing of the tank It is stated that the i passage of the steam of gasoline | through the air may generate a spark 1 that does the rest. But if the gaso. line is poured through a metal funne
 or nozzle that touches the side of tn,
 opening the electricity is carreic
 away harmlessly.

ARMY WASTE |S
 THING OF PAST

Good night army waste in Arizona. The camp garbage can has been rele- gated to the limbo of forgotten things.
 If there ever was any army waste in Arizona camps worth mentioning, it is a thing of the past as d result of an elaborate program of food conservation which has been worked out by Col. George H. Morgan, division comman- der and the officers in command of the various posts of the Arizona division, through the cooperation of Timothy A. RioTdan, federal food administrator for Arizona.
 Not only are the several regiments now camped in this state voluntarily adopting meatless and wheatless days in accord with the civilian food pro- gram, but under Colonel Morgan's ap- proval, the soldiers are now under or ders aimed to prevent the loss of so much as a crumb of bread or an ounce of meat or fat, and which for thor oughness should put to shame the eff forts of many Arizona housewives.
 The far reaching effect of the con- servation campaign among the soldiery of the statesis eXemplified in the model orders promulgated by Colonel Lloyd of the Tenth field artillery, stationed. at Douglas and a copy of which was re- ceived today at the office of the federal food administrator.
 After instructing the commanding officers of the various units to impress upon the men the paramount import ance of the conservation of food at this time, to inform them that it is not the aim to reduce the ration and to urge them to cooperate in the elimination of waste, the orders pressed: The quantity of food served at each helping will be cut to one quarter of ! that served at present, and the men will be permitted to come back for ad- ditional helpings as often as desired. | Surplus fat will be cut from all meat before cooking. grease rendered l from the fat and used in the kitchens. Great care will be exercised in the | economical use of butter when served.
 The issue loaf of bread will be cut ! into thin slices and then diagonally cut I into half slices, and each man allowed | to take but one piece of bread at 6 time.
 An old non commissioned officer will be designated in each organization 1 in charge of food conservation and charged with seeing that each mar eats all the food taken by him regard | leSS OL whether ne OeSlfeS IL or not. ftt will be held responsible that no food i. placed in garbage cans or in the in. cinerators."
 After naming a commissioned office as food officer of the command the or. ders state that he shall inspect twic, daily all garbage cans and incineratorl and report the waste of food by an, organization.
 The force of the orders is containet in the next section which states "th, collection of garbage will be discon tinued." In other words the soldier, seem intent on following the exampl of little Willie in the apple story tha ends'-and there aint goin' to be n, core Like Willie's playmate the gar bage man is out of luck so far as tn army is concerned for there ain't goir to be no garbage"

WEDDING COMES
 UNEXPECTEDLY

Coming as a complete surprise to their friends who had not been ad- vised of the date of their wedding, came the news yesterday of the marriage on New Years Eve or Miss Hazel Tarney to Charles Boris, well known newspaper man. Justice Frank De SouZa read the service.
 Only few of the closest friends of the couple were present, among whom was the brides mother. Mrs. J. M. Tarney of Prescott and Mrs. Clifford Hahn. who was the matron of honor and only attendant, anu MT. Hahn, who acted as best man.
 The young people will take up their residence at the Graham apart ments where they will be formally at home after January 15.
 Mrs. Boris has lived all her life in Arizona and is charming young woman whose delightful personality has won her a legion of friends. She is as attractive of appearance as she is in manner and is general favorite. MT. Boris has been resi- dent of Arizona for the past three years, during which time he has made an enviable reputation as a newspaper and publicity man. He is at present engaged in publicity work

ROAD SHOW GIVEN
 AT COLUMBIA |S
 GENUINE SUCCESS

They actually sat in their seats at the Columbia theater yesterday, where When Dreams Come True" was ore. scented afternoon and evening, until the last curtain fell. Tons of praise could say no more in favor of the show for in this day and age when everyone is in so much of hurry he or she can scarcely wait even to be amused, it must be a rare show to hold until the final tableau is disclosed.
 Starting with a matinee house which should have been larger, advancing to an evening audience of much better proportions, When Dreams Come True should do capacity business at the matinee today and the performance l tonight for it is really clean, enjoy able fun show with lots of pretty music and some people who can dance well and sing acceptably.
 1 It is not production framed around a star but has half a dozen in leading roles most of whom are capable. Eas- fly best are Harlan Briggs in the com edy role of the detective and his re lief" Carrie Glenn as Mathilda. If 1 there is better bit in the show than Some Little Bug" by Briggs, it is done off stage. Both as a topical song and in it's presentation it leaves nothing to | be desired. Listeners were certainly bitten by one of the little bugs about which the song is written and the out ward symptoms were laughter and many encoreS.
 Dancing is a strong feature of the show and of course the music by Silvio I Hein is tinkling and catchy. There is not enough story to worry over, but there is enough variety and fun to drive worry away and that is what people looking for recreation want.
 Some 35 people go to make up the company, which carries it's own seen cry and is a sure-enough road show something of a curiosity these days when the so-called legitimate in the theatrical world is stalled in the dol | drums for the time being.

But one accident marred the perfect enjoyment of the auto classic of the season at the state fair track yes- terday afternoon, when the fastest, high powered motor cars of Arizona were pitted against each other for honors and real money. Driver Hott- man, whose name in ordinary life IS John A. Mais, piloting the Miller spe- cial took a spill on the south turn which hurled him into the fence and drove a splinter of wood 10 inches long into his thigh. There were no bones broken and Mais was rushed to St. Josephs' hospital, where ne was at tended by pr. Harry A. Hughes, Jr. AIais will recover from his injuries in side of two weeks, it is stated. Friends wired Mrs. Mais, who lives in Indian apolis, and assured her that her hus- bands wounds would not be serious. The little stripped Overland which won honors at the state fair, plloted again by Jim Thomas, won first place in the 50 mile free-fOr all Arizona race. Fixes Jordan was second, and the Buick, driven by Fletcher, was third. In the five miles stock car event, a Dodge roadster was the winner.
 One worlds record is said to have been broken by Price, who made a jump of S4 feet, 9la inches on a motorcycle He also won the. five mile motorcycle race.
 The crowd was exceptionally good Upwards of 5000 persons were in the srandstand and in the hundreds of automobiles in the inner circle" and scattered about the grounds.
 Time and time again the crowd was brought to it's feet by the stunts Of dare deviltry of tho motorcycle and auto drivers.
 Buick Has History
 The Buick car which took third place in the 50 mile free -for-all has an interesting history. It is 1911 model, known as the model IT," and is a strictly stock chassis. It has been driven in three other races, two Oi which were in Los Angeles, and one triumphed and won purse of $1,O0C for first place. On straightaway the owners declare, the Buick has at tained a speed or S3 miles per hour After being used on the desert fol two years after the Los Angeles races the car was purchased by a man il Ray, who paid $500 for it. It was theI rejuvenated into @ racing car C. w Woodbury, of the Babbitt-Polson com pany's Buick agency, declares this i typical of the Buick.

DouqIas Fairbanks at lamara

'The Man From Painted Post" star ring Douglas Fairbanks at the Lamara, is in many respects one of the best pie lures in which this smiling star has yet been seen, which is indeed saying a good deal On the arder of his now famous Wild and Woolly,' the picture is an even better production, and while it never loses the charm of a Fairbanks offering, the situations are in many in- stances much more humorous and at all times more thrilling.
 Fairbanks is seen as an immaculate ly dressed and decidedly "tenderfooty' gun man, engaged in the pursuit of a gang of cattle rustlers who have ter rorized the countryside with their bold crimes. He is known as Fancy Jim Sherwood-the Man From Painted Post" whose fame as a crack shot is known throughout the region. and whose name strikes terror to the heart of every ''rustler.' But on this partic- ular occasion, he throws them all off their guard by arriving dressed as a tenderfoot from the east who has just ] purchased land in the neighborhood. i On the same program there are being | shown the Burton Holmes trave 1 pictures.
