The harbor squad proper. consisting of three swift revenue cutters, oper- ates above the NarroWs and it's func- tions are separate from those of the patrol boats at the harbors mouth The inspectors do not accept as an excuse ignorance of the law. A cap tain from any part of the world must be familiar with the law
 The traffic officer can tell at a glance if a ship is moving along at the spec flied channel or keeping her alignment in the public anchorages. Despite the size of the harbor, anchorages must be allotted with the utmost economy. The average length of merchant ships anchored here is 400 feet; anchor chains may be half this length. or more As the ship swings at anchor it de- scribes a circle whose diameter is twice the length of the ship, plus twice the length of the anchor chain. In laying out these anchorages and placing the ships a series of great circles must be laid down. each with 2n average diam eter of about 1000 feet. It requires nice calculation to place even five such ships to a mile.
 The anchorages have been mapped with great care. There are twenty eight of them. with definite boundar- may anchor as near as possible to any given section, and they extend from Sandy Hook up the Hudson river to a

harbor as on Broadway. The mer- chant fleet assembled from so many countries taxes the capacity of the greatest ports. With the docks along the extended water front fully oc- cupied, hundreds of ships are forced to find anchorage off shore without in terfering with the busy channels. To keep these thoroughfares open day and night an alert traffic squad" patrols every corner.
 The harbor official demands and re- ceives instant obedience. At wave of the hand or word, usually shouted through a megaphone, the largest ship must toe the mark. Penalties are se- we're, disobedience being punishable by fine of $100. and a persistent offense leading to seizure and libe1ing of the ship
 The war has complicated matters be- yond precedent. The fleet swinging at anchor is the largest ever seen in New York waters. In normal times a con- stant stream of traffice passes in and out of the harbor, which today is closed except for narrow channel where one ship may pass at a time. It is like filling or emptying a bottle drop by drop at time. Each ship entering port is scrutlniZed. The net across the Mar rows is patrolled by motor boats. Promptly at sunset the net is drawn and the horbor remains closed until morning.

This morning at 10 o'clock what will i undoubtedly prove the best annual poultry show will be thrown open to the public at 229 West Adams street, opposite the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce building The show will last today, tomorrow and Saturday, and is the sixth annual event of the kind to be given by the Maricopa County Poultry association.
 Related entries for the poultry show swell the total number of birds to 400 or more birds one noticeable feature of the entries this year is the improve ment in the quality. This is the most favorable season of the year for show ing birds. as they appear at their best at this time of the year. There has never been a time when the interest in better poultry was keener than it is at the present time. In spite of the high prices Of poultry feed. people are finding that poultry raising may be made profitable, but | a thing of the past. In other words, the profitable hen has to be a better bred hen than the hen of former times. | More people are interested in poul try this year than ever before. More l people are keeping a few chickens in 1 the back yard to help out the high cost l of living To those who are realizing the necessity of better blood in the | flock. the poultry show offers an op- portunity for learning just what is | best in the way of better bred poultry.

great Iriquois theater fire in Chicago cost the theaters of that city millions of dollars in loss of patronage as the public was afraid to attend places of amusement for fear of them being un- safe
 l, for one, would like to see this mat ter settled at once, and will assist in any way I possibly can to make my theaters absolutely safe, and I feel that equal justice should be done in the premises and no favoritism shown to anyone.
 It is well known fact that halls and buildings not regularly constructed for places of amusement, which are absolutely unsafe and do not provide for protection of the pubic, are per mitted to be used for such purposes. This should be prohibited. The first consideration of the officers of the city of Phoenix should be the safety of the public.
 Very truly yours,

OVE MOTOR CRASH CLOSES HIS DASH

Stretching away to the open CD road. with nothing to i'll or evil forbode. treading on air on his high speed bike. homeward with haste he happily hiked. Little he rocked of the crowded street. of bikes and autos and hurrying feet. Little he knew as he crossed the gutter. that for him there was a fly in the but ter. Nor did he guess the awful clut- ter. of biting the dust meath a motor cars sputter.
 Patrolman Shirk had mounted his wheel. and was headed home for his evening meal. Just as he crossed the courthouse walk. he heard a klaXton $ surly squawk. Quickly he put on his coaster brake Alas twas too late to halt the mistake. His bicycle clumb the autos frame, and what it did to Shirk was a shame. It scattered him over the asphalt street. he came uS smiling but more discreet.

score was a tie. The Coyotes then piled up two more points and the game was won.
 The game last night was the first one that the Tempe Normal team has lost out of eleven played. That is a record that has never before been equalled by any school in Arizona.
 The lineup:
 Phoenix-Tolleson and Tovrea, for wards; Smith, center; Crosse and Ris- tow, guards: Chaney, substituted for Tovrea and Thayer for Crosse. Near the finish of the game Tritle took Chaney's place.
 Tempe Normal-Goodwin and Glenn, forwards: Craig, center: Locking and Conway, guards. Winkelan substi- tuted for Locking, the latter replacing Craig $ guard.
 Tolleson and Ristow of Phoenix. and Goodwin and Craig, of the Normal starred throughout the game.
 The lineup for the girls follows:

and babe her good-by. When she had
