 The name of the butterfly is the Euchloe Pima. Miss Fountaine will re- main in Phoenix for several days, awaiting the turn the weather takes. If there are light rains, followed by sunshine, she expects the pupa and lar va of the moth to develop into the rad liant winged thiag of beauty she seeks.

EIGHTEEN YEAR -OLD
 YOUTH ENTERS ARMY

Eighteen-y year old James Shelly of Buckeye was one of the valley boys to enlist last week in the United States army. For some time past young Shelly has been anxious to enter the service of the government in some ca pacity. Though not old enough to be drafted, he and his mother, Mrs. A. Buckley of Buckeye, had talked the matter over very thoroughly, and his mother with true patriotism encour- aged the boy to follow the dictates of his own conscience, so it was with a feeling of satisfaction that the boy en- tered the recruiting offices feeling that he was going to do his bit. He felt that he could be of most service in the coast artillery.

During the past years resi- dence in the valley he has made a large number of friends and the many people that know him predict bright military future for him. He is eager to make good and has met with en- couragement from his personal friends and from his business associates. He has recently been associated with the Arizona Egyptian Cotton company. He also recently became interested in stock farming and dairy ranching and had half interest in very success fully operated Buckeye ranch. This, however, he has left in charge of the home folk in answering his country s call. At present James Shelly is in San Francisco on his way to Puget sound.

 The Torrey and Alexander meetings, held in all parts of the world, were attended literally by millions of peo- pie, and tens of thousands were con- verted to the religion of Jesus Christ through his preaching. It was the Torrey- y-AleXander meetings which made the two songs, "The King Business" and The Glory Song," famous as revival hymns.
 In Los Angeles, Dr. Torrey is at the, head of one of the great Bible schools of the world. He speaks from Sun day to Sunday in an auditorium seat ing more than 4,00O people, and which is constantly crowded to the doors. Dr. Torrey's coming to a local Phoe- nix church for such work is a rare occurrence, but the pastor, Rev. George M. Lehigh, being a personal friend, is favored in securing his service.-
 Dr. Torrey will be entertained at the home of MT. and Mrs. C. D. Doris, 321 West Jefferson street, while here.

Columbia Features

This afternoon is childrens matinee at the Columbia. A very pleasing program has been arranged to please the kiddies. William s. Hart in ''Helrs Hinges and little Mary McAllister in "A Place in the Sum- together with a Hoolingan comedy, will be the bill.
 'Helrs Hinges" is claimed to be the biggest William s. Hart picture ever made. As a bad man, William S. Hart does some excellent shooting in "Hells Hinges. Hart has the role of Blaze Tracy, who is quick on the draw and dead shot. To show his prowess, Hart keeps a tin can in the air for several seconds by a fusillade from his revolver. He pulls another great feat when he sewers the wires by which the lamps are suspended ir a saloon.
 Hart shows himself a wonderful horseman, too. For instance, he rolls down and embankment on horseback and then jumps about ten feet into the saddle. Hart had to practice this stunt three times before he was able to have it properly registered by the camera. Though he was sore from landing such a distance in the saddle Hart showed his gameness in contin- uing till the picture was complete.

Dorothy Dalton Last Time at Lamara
 In "The Price Mark" one of the most absorbing stories seen at the Lamara in many months, Dorothy Dalton will be seen at the Lamara for the last times today. For sus- tained interest, and surprise situa- tions, clever handling of complica- tions, and real dramatic merit, The Price Mark" would be extremely hard to beat. Dorothy Dalton as an artist model brings to the screen a char acter that strikes straight to the hearts of all, as the story unfolds the temptations and trials of a poor un- fortunate who finds herself friendleSs in the great city of New York, and who in sheer desperation accepts a position as a model for a famous art ist. She is more sinned against than shining, but battles on bravely, until in one of the most intense scenes, when her very life happiness is se- riously threatened, she fights with the strength of tigress at bay and rids herself of him who would rob her or the only happiness she has ever known. Thomas H. Ince, who pro- duced the picture, is known through out the country as one of the most skilled directors living.
 Mack Sennett's His Hidden Purpose in which Chester Conklin essays the principal role, is also being shown.

CBy Review Leased wlrel

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 2.-Three hundred members of the American h. stitute of Mining Engineers, gathered here for two days prior to their jour ney tomorrow to Colorado Springs where the remaining session of their meeting will be held, devoted today to the technical session of their con vention and to the inspection of ore treating plants and chemical works in the vicinity of Denver and Golden.
 Chief among the subjects scheduled for discussion during the Colorado Springs meeting is that of the prefer ential employment of soldier cripples after the war in various branches of the mining industry. The engineers maintain that mining offers many luc- rative lines in which men crippled in the war can be used to advantage, and those in charge of the program have obtained motion pictures showing experiments along this line already carried out.
 Action toward obtaining a greater production of metals to meet war needs and the discussion of the new methods of conservation in the treat ment of metails are other timely topics scheduled.

the motor machine guns dashed out on to the good roads at the German rear. Tanks also managed to get through and they are working far in advance of the infantry.
 Some of the fast motor machine guns are reported by the airplanes to have made their way along the Canal Du Nord on the roads between Douai and Marquion, while others are reported to be. holding the bridge heads against large numbers of Ger man reserves, who certainly are com ing up in the rear.
 Along the Arras-Cambrai road the British have made good progress and Villers Leg Cagnicourt, which was pro- tected by special belts of wire and a powerful trench system, was the scene of desperate fighting. Both Vil- lers Leg Cagnicourt and Cagnimourt are in British hands and the British have carried the battle considerably to the east of this.
 Where the Arras-Cambrai highway crosses the -Cagnicourt- Saudemont road, as well as>all through this district, the Germans were in great strength. The cross roads are only nine and half miles from Cam brai and their defense is of the utmost to the enemy.
 Reports from Dury show the fight ing was desperate. The Germans were and about to deliver an as- sault against the British positions.

 By today's success the British struck the Germans one of the most smashing and strategically serious blows they ever had received in a sin gle days fighting. The Germans are reported to have eight divisions stand ing to meet the blow.
 Among the prisoners taken are men who had been hurriedly thrown in the line from all sorts of units.
 There has been heavy fighting in -Buissy, northeast of Queant. Large numbers of prisoners have been cap turned and progress made against the northern end of the Queant-Drocourt line
 During the night there was heavy fighting around the British positions, which were almost jammed up against the great German defense system. Piles of dead Germans was one of the results. During one enemy attack a sergeant with a machine gun killed 60 Germans who tried to rush him.
 It was soon after o'clock in the morning that the massed British can non broke loose with a roar that was heard for miles in a crash barrage. The whole sky seemed ablaze as thou sands of British shells poured into the German wire and lines.
 When the barrage raised the Can2r dians and English swarmed over the top. Just behind them weren umer- ous tanks of all sizes.
