Great Film Comes Tomorrow

Many of the critics who have been sternest in their eXactionS of Ameri- can dramatists announce their belief that D. w. Griffith has put over' the great American play at last. MT. Grif fith'S wonderful spectacle drama, "The Birth of a Nation" is referred to-the novel offering at the Columbia theater for four days beginning at the matinee tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
 For many years American dramatists wrote able plays of particular states, cities or localities, ranging from Ala bama' to the Henrietta" and from Way Down East to "The Great Di- vide" But no one man seemed to grasp the whole spirit and genius of America until David Wark Griffith picked a suggestion for his theme out of Dixon's The Leopard's Spots and "The Clansman' and started to devel- ope it.
 A remarkable thing about MT. Grf- fith's plan is that words (eXcept for leaders and titles) did not enter into it. Perhaps words had cramped rather than aided previous fictionists and dramatists. At any rate, he replaced speech with music, and the old fash toned stage action and scenery by the pictoralized action of thousands of players in the great out-of doors. In
 brief, he staged the great battles,
 struggles and critical events of 1S61-'1O
 under conditions as nearly as possible
 similar to the original
 ! The result of MT. Griffith's efforts
 is new and stupendous art for which
 no adequate name has yet been found.
 ''The Birth of a Nation" combines | spectacle, romance, domestic drama,
 comedy, tragedy, music, and mechan-
 ical effects into harmonious ensemble l that captivates equally the eye and the
 ear. In a presentation lasting two <, hours and 45 minutes, it epitomizes the
 life of nation. This is something the
 old art could never do. The obsolete
 so- o-called stage unities" are thrown to ] the winds, and Griffith carries the | magnificent story from the introduce | tion of African slavery right down | through civil war and reconstruction
 days to the final real union of south l and north in the bonds of love and l peace.

 PLANE ACCIDENT
Adjutant Marcus A. Jordan Killed in Italy During His Service in Instruc-I tion Center at Foggia

Adjutant Marcus A. Jordan of the eighth Aviation Instruction Center at Foggia, Italy, was killed there yester- day in an aeroplane accident according to cablegram received by his brother Eldredge E. Jordan a banker of Wash ington who immediately wired his sis ter, Mrs. A. J. Peters at Tempe. The parents of Adjutant Jordan, Major and Mrs. T. C. Jordan, live at Long Beach, Cal Mrs. Peters left last night for Long Beach to break the news to her mother but the latter will probably have heard of the tragedy for it was carried in the day Associated Press dispatches of yesterday from Washington.
 Marcus Jordan was "A years of age. He was born in this city where his father Major Jordan was probate judge of this county. He left here many years ago and visited all parts of the world. His parents and his brothers had also moved away so that little was heard of him.
 About six years ago he came into favorable notice by the attempted rescue of a woman from drowning. He was then in the Far East and was about to return to America As the vessel on which he was sailing was leaving Manila Bay a woman passenger threw herself overheard. Jordan then only eighteen years of age sprang after her and succeeded in bringing her aboard. The woman was dead. It was afterward learned that she had thrown herself into the sea with suicidal in tent. For this feat young Jordan was given a Carnegie hero medal.
 Two years ago he joined a Canadian machine gun company for active serv- ice in France. He became a first lieu tenant there. When America entered the war he returned to this country and Joined the aviation corps. He left for Italy eight months ago.
 The last letter received from him was written to his mother from Naples on February 12 and was forwarded to Mrs. Peters at Tempe. He wrote
 Dear Mama: Am down here for a few days, combination of play and work. The last is over, so for the next three days it is play. Naples is won derful after Foggia. We don't have much at Foggia but planes.
 Am dining tonight with MT. Jay White the American consul here. His wife is named Annie Jordan Gale and Is from Houston. Have you ever heard of her?

Two Fine Pictures at Hip

q have never seen anything a0 fascinating in melodrama as Ihe Crookedest Man in the World, sald woman yesterday at the afternoon per formance of that remarkable picture at the Hip.
 It is so fast so startling, so filled with new things even in pictures that one wonders where the director went to. to secure his novelties. Herbert Rawlinson, the hero of the picture, IS cast in a part that is just as good as the one he made famous ln come Through
 With the feature is seen smart, clean society comedy, by James Mont gomery F'lagg the celebrated artist. It l is not a cartoon but a pretty, hlgh class, comedy entitled "The Supersti- tious Girl' and is founded upon the | famous picture of the same title by | MT. Flagg. It is in itself a smart entertainment.
 Tomorrow, Normal ,Talmadge in a picture one will not soon forget, is un- derlined It is called "Ghosts of Yes terday' and is done from the novel | 1.-TWO Woman" by Rupert Hughes. It was played under it's moved title by Mrs Leslie Carter on the eastern stage
 The big cooling fans have been oiled and put in shape and the Hip is now, as last summer one of the best cooled theaters in Arizona. The ventilation problem is completely solved by the twin Typhoon fans installed. They are seven feet high with a velocity of 24C revolutions per minute and change the air in the theater every 50 seconds.

WILD CATTLE EASY COMPARE ID
 ELK HERD

With 56 head of elk liberated in the game preserves of Arizona, G. M. Willard, state game warden, re- tuned to Phoenix on Wednesday greatly relieved that his charges are out of his hands and not anx- ious to tackle another task of the kind for some time to come.
 Familiar with the handling of the widest specimen of the COW family, the state game warden and his cowboy assistants who man aged the receipt and delivery of the elk to the game preserves are ready to admit that the widest steer is tame in comparison with an elk.
 For this reason and because of other conditions, the plans made in advance for the unloading and driving of the elk into the noun tsins had to be changed. The elk had been unIoaded from the car at the stockyards six miles south of Clifton. with the intention of driv- inq 30 of them northeast up the Little Blue river of reloading the remainder to be sent to Pima and from there taken into the Blue Range.
 The man who accompanied the elk' from Gardiner, Wyoming, ad Vised that no attempt De made 70 drive the elk up the Little Blue from Clifton because of the condi- tion of the country and also be- cause it was too near the state line. MT. Willard feared that the elk might easily act over the line into New Mexico and all his Iabors thus be lost to this state and ac- crue to the benefit of New Mexico.
 The 56 head of elk were there fore reloaded and the car routed around to FairVIew. northwest of Stafford, where 22 head were un- loaded and driven to the mountains with little trouble. The remaining 34 head were taken in the car to Cutter station, eight miles below Globe, where they were unloaded and headed northeast into the White Mountains.
 With the elk safely in the game preserves of Arizona, MT. Willard breathes easier. He Is ready to ad- nit that it has been big Iop. SIxty- one head of elk were shipped from Gardiner, Wyoming. Two were killed in the car enroute, and three others died in the stock yards near Clifton, apparently from the excite ment of the crowds of people that were attracted to the pens by the unusual sight

NATIONAL GUARD
 NOW RECRUITING

A new organization, one that prom lses to have the support of large per centage of those ineligible for actual army field service by reason of some minor disqualification, is the National Guard company of the Arizona reserve battalion now being recruited here's
 In view of the fact that Arizona is one of two states in the whole union who has not a state commissioned military body, this movement should be most successful.
 While the organization will, in every sense of the word, be an authorized military unit, with regulation clothes, rifles and equipment, it will not be subject to federal service, and only in case of strike or other disorder will be called out.
 Any man between the ages of T and 45 in fair physical condition may make application for enlistment. Queries should be sent to William Piella, 1122 East Willetta street.

PIMA COTTON TO BE UTILIZED IN A|RPLANE WINES
State Council of Defense. Is Definitely Assured Arizona Cotton Will Be
 Used By the Government

The plan of making tests this sea son of fabrics made from Arizona Pima Cotton in actual flying tests by the U. $. Signal Corps. which was brought to the personal attention of Mr. Howard Coffin, Chairman of the Aircraft Board, last month by Dwight E. Heard, chair man of the State Council of Defense, has at last definitely materialized.
 When MT. Heard left Washington, it looked as if there would be no question but that this cotton would be used; later word reached the Council of De- fCnse from the Bureau of Markets that there was considerably uncertainty as 10 actual use of Arizona Pima cotton in flying tests this year, and on March 26th as the result of action of the eX- ecutive committee of the State Council of Defense, the following wire was sent Mir. Howard Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft Board
 Recent wire from MT. Brand, Chief Bureau of Markets, indicates that plan of government to pur- chase enough Arizona Pima cotton to make sufficient fabrics for ac- tual flying tests has temporarily fallen down. Our chairman brought this entire matter your attention February ninth last and we will appreciate your reference his letter that date. Now evident from work actually under way and seed con tracts made that Arizona acreage m Pima cotton this year will larqe- ly exceed hundred thousand acres. Cotton experts Agricultural De- partment agree that Arizona crop coming season will offer better opportunity for obtaining large quantity even running long staple cotton than any other source, and after viewing matter purely from national standpoint are convinced that some method should be evolved to avoid delay in testing, which seems hazardous. Your wire this subject will be appreciated.

 c. R. Green, Secretary Yesterday. Mir c. R. Green, secretary of the State Council of Defense, re- ceived the following wire from the signal corps which gives the definite assurance that the famous Arizona product will be tried out without delay in flying tests:
 Referring your telegram March twenty sixth to MT. Coffin we are preparing to make up sufficient quantity airplane fabric from Pima cotton with which to make actual flying tests. Will advise you fur ther when these are completed.

Pauline Frederick Closes at Lamara
 Today offers the last opportunity to see Pauline Frederick at the Lamara where she is appearing in Mrs. Danes Defense a drama of powerful force Recognized as one of the most accom- plished emotional actresses in pictures the role is particularly suited to her and it is needles to say that she takes advantage of the wonderful opportu- nity to score heavily. The story is re- plete with intense situations and fol- lows the original version almost scene for scene.
 The supporting cast was carefully chosen, and includes such well known players as Frank Losee, Ormi Hawley, Leslie Austen, Ida Darling and other Paramount favorites. It has been elaborately screened, with particular attention to detail. An item of interest to the fair sex is the announcement that some of the gowns worn by Miss Frederick during this production are among the most gorgeous ever seen on screen. This is especially true of the stunning ball gown, worn by her during the last few scenes of the drama.

URGE SKIP STOP
PLAN FOR OMAHA
BYSEpTEMbER Is
Six to Eight Stops Per Mile
Suggested for Street Rail-
way by Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield.

John L. Kennedy fuel admihistra.
tor, has received from Washington
the recommendations of the fuel ad.
ministration for the skip-stop system
of street railway service in Omaha
and Lincoln.
The suggestions in substance are as
follows;
1t is to be applied to the entire
city, business and residence districts
Stopping points are to be located
to serve the public to the best ad-
vantage.
There are to be not more than eight
stops per mile in the business dis
trict, and six in the residence dis
tricts. This would NEAR in a gen.
eral way reducing the stops one-half.
These stopping places would be
marked.
Downtown District First.
II the entire system is not changed
In the first instance, it should be
put into effect first in the downtown
districts.
To relieve congestion on the streets,
cars going in different directions
should stop at different crossings.
The system is recommended to
cities of $4,000 population and over.
In Nebraska it applies only to Oma-
ha and Lincoln.
it is estimated that the actual saw
ing in power will be from 8 to 10
per cent.
The proposed plan is being sub
mitted to public service commissions,
street railway, companies, mayors,
city councils and city commissioners
throughout the country.
Waste in Stops.
The annual saving of coal in the
cities in which the system has al
ready been adopted amounts to more
than 100000 tons. When adopted gen.
orally, that will be increased to 1900
600 tons.
The power required to start street
car is six or eight times greater than
the power required to keep it in mo-
ton.
The street cars make better time
with half the stops, and therefore
save time for the company and its
passengers.
