How Many In Phoenix-In Tucson

How Many In Phoenix-In Tucson?
Tempe subscriber has written
asking this department to give the
population Of Phoenix and Tucson re-
spectively. Has it occurred to said
subscriber that 4 public attempt at a
thing OF that sort is as likely 20 get
this column into trouble as TO attempt
to state publicly which of two women
IS the prettier? But here goes:
Tho estimated population of Phoe-
nix in 1915 is given at 1873 and that
of Tucson at 1911. These figures arr
from the World Almanac. Tucson nov
claims 10000. while Phoenix has al
estimated population of 1000. This
latter figure is based upon the school
census, the city registration, and the
number of telephone boxes. The tcle-
phone companies figure one telephone
10 every eight people, and Phoenix has
1880 phones, which would make tn
population $4,000. but the Mounta 4
States Telephone company considers
that there are a few more phones per
capita in Phoenix than in most towns
of its size.

NEW YORK, April 11.--If Charley
Herzog refuses to report to the
Braves, the Giants will just have to
turn Larry Doyle and Jess Barnes
back to the Boston club, absorb
Charles again and begin playing ball.
That's all there Is to it, even in the
opinion of Harry N. Hampstead, presi-
dent of the Giants. He doesn't want
Herzog back, and nobody could talk
him into accepting the baseball prima
donna, but he can't see how he's going
to get out of it, for the terms Of the
trade were unmistakable.
Herzog, 1t is believed here, however,
will report to the Braves when the
time comes. The fact that he has
been near that club all during the
training season it is argued it is prob
able he is only waiting the psychology
ical moment to get the greatest pub
licity out of his decision to go to the
Boston team And it also is declared
that HerZog would be missing a grand
chance to jeer at John McGraw IL he
failed to go to the Braves where such
things are not only countenanced but
encouraged at times.
Even If Herzog should stick to his
intention and report to McGraw when
the Giants open the season here. 1t
get into the Polo grounds diamond, for
of the Giants refuse to have
to do with the man who left
them last summer in the hottest part
Of the pennant fight.

For obtaining large photographs Of
distant objects lens Is accommo-
dated without sacrifice Of possibility
in novel camera, which divides the
focal length into thirds, the light en-
tering the lens being reflected by two
mirrors In a Z-shaped path to the
plate. By this method a camera 16
inches long provides for lens Of 4S
inches focus. Another advantage Is
that the deficient luminosity obtained
with ordinary telephotograpic cam
eras Is overcome, and rapid instanta-
neous photographs may be taken,
snapshots in 1900 Of second giving
clear and well-defned views. In tests
from a free balloon of the Swiss Aero
