our army life for the benefit of our
selves and our friends, and if they
don't like our style they can COM
plain to the kaiser. Hence we say
to one and all, greeting!
August 9th orders were issued for
the final assignment of the members
of the detachment. Four men were
assigned to the R. o. t. c. at Camp
Pike, Ark, making eight men from
the detachment who have progressed
thus far in their work. A few men
have also been detailed to Moscow as
instructors in the various branches
of the vocational work. Five of the
radio men have also been selected for
training as advanced radio electric
ians and will be in Moscow few
days before their destination is de-
termined. The balance of the de-
tachment will leave August IL and
10 for the following places: Radio
men, Fit. Leavenworth, Kan; Cen
eral mechanics, Camp Holabird, Md;
auto mechanics, Camp Taylor, KY;
truck drivers, Ft. 'Sill, Okla; black
smiths, Camp Hancock, Ga; lead
burners, Cleveland, Ohio. No as
signment has been received for the
carpenters and it has been suggested
that they may go to Palouse, though
they seem to prefer Lewiston, and
we do not blame them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerome J. Day of
Moscow have been very kind to the
detachment. Mrs. Day donated fine
Edison photograph which is kept at
Ridenbaugh Hall and which we hear
frequently when coming in and out
of the mess hall. 1t came in very
handy the night of Miss oFrench's
dance. We trust that the plans for
the new wing of the Ad building
which is to be used by future de-
tachments will permit this music to
be available to our successors. Mr..
Day is the donor of our mascot,
GERRY, the Bull" a brindle bulldog
who would like to find "a few dachs-
hunds to chew on. He was presented
to US by Judge William F. Morgan,
and is always looking for trouble.
A bull terrier from Occur d'Alene
has also attached himself to the
bunch and he and Jerry mix things
at least once a day. So both officers
and men are getting training in stop

The auto mechanics say a black
smith is an auto mechanic with ibis
brains removed. But the general
opinion of the auto mechanics was
shown the other day when Lieut..
Hanna was trying to get the names
of some additional auto mechanics in
the detachment. "How many auto
mechanics are there here" he asked,
"who are not taking that course %
One or two hands were raised ."How
many are there who feel they know |
as much about it as the bunch down |
there?" Immediately dozen hands |
went up.

take this occasion to thank the Uni
versity authorities and the people of

We have no apologies to offer for

"Alimony" at Hip Today

This is the final days showing for the remarkable picture. Ali mony," at the Hip. Not since the Lone Wolf has there been a more sensational modern society story shown in Phoenix. "Alimony' hits so many of the modern society di- vorce cases that it reaches q lot who have by deceit secured divorce.
 Many a man who grows tired of a wife who is fading under the years she has spent helping him to amass a fortune and plans with a crooked lawyer to secure a divorce and marry a younger and prettier woman. Many a dissatisf wife thinks her hard working husband should provide more jewels because so and so has more, ar.d she takes up with some richer man and asks for a separation. That is the kind of a lesson "Alimony" tells and tells it surrounding Q couple of of young sters who are victims of a vampire woman and crook divorce lawyer. There are exciting auto chases, elop- mehts, trip to Bermuda and lots of appealing things in "Alimony" be- sides the sting it administers to the crook lawyer and the society di- vorcee. A news weekly adds to the bill.

ERRORS OF FACT
 ALLEGED BEFORE
 PREME COURT
Campbell Attorneys State
 Reasons Why Governor
 ship Case Should Be Re
 tried In States Courts

In q legal document of 22 pages citing many alleged errors of fact in the recent opinion of the supreme court which upheld the contest of George W. P Hunt against Thomas F. Campbell for the governorship of Arizona. a motion for rehearing was filed yesterday by the attorneys for MT. Campbell
 Only five minutes remained of the fifteen days allowed by law after the rendering of the opinion for the filing of the motion for re-hearins, when attorneys for MT. Campbell appeared before the clerk of the su- preme court with the expected docu- mcnt.
 Among the errors of fact alleged in the motion are the following:
 That Douglas No. 1 is stated to he merely one of the polling places of the Douglas precinct and not il. itself a separate precinct
 That all election officers of that precinct were residents of the pre- cinct
 That the election board was made up of republicans and democrats
 That no attempt had been made at prosecuting any member of the NltNAlplI bOdIu pl DOuSldS NO. l.
 That the court erred as to the number of ballots which show mark 10 the left of the name of Campbell and in the space opposite the blank space in the prohibition column,
 That there was no "scintilla oi evidence showing fraud ilI Douglas No. l.
 That the ballots in evidence from Douglas No. and described as spoiled or "mutilated" could have been mutilated only in one of three ways; by the voters, by members o1 the election board or by some per son other than the voters or mem. bers of the board. That they coult have been mutilated by persons other than voters or members of the board was shown to be impossible That if proof is insufficient to es. tablish that these ballots were changed by the election board, theI the rule of law as announced in tn, Durgin case applies, and the pre-. sumption must be that the change. were made by the voters and mani. festly these spoiled ballots should have been thrown out
 That the court was in error ir deciding that the votes from tn, precinct of Wilgus ought not to b, counted and in passing it's decision upon the proposition that there wa. no substantial compliance with tn, statute relative to the preservation of the ballots. and that it would b, dangerous precedent to allow re turns of election to be augmente, by ballots of this character withou proof of their identity and integrity
 That the court has approved o the doctrine that under the statute in order that the elector may ex press his choice between candidate he must do so by a substantial com pliance upon his part with regar 10 the legislative directions in mak ing his ballot.
 Attention is called to the fact tha this doctrine may not be reconcile with the ruling of the court wit

EVERY BUSINESS
 HOUSE IN TOWN
 MAY ETSTA|MPS

At a meeting yesterday afternoon of the War Thrift Arizona Campaign headquarters, held at room 8, city hall, at 8 o'clock, the committee to estab- fish war savings stations in every business house and office in Phoenix, got together and appointed committees for the canvass, which will commence this morning. The four wards of Phoenix were allotted to the follow ing, as captains:
 First ward, Hal Prince.
 Second ward, w. $. Goldsworthy.
 Third ward, Malcolm A. Fraser.
 Fourth ward, Julian Gang.
 As the result of a preliminary meet ing held at II o'clock yesterday morn ing at the same place the following were present: Ed. Hull, Charles Me Athur, A. G. Dulmase. w. s. Colds worthy, Julian Gang. Malcolm A. Fraser, A. R. Cater, s. Nicholson, Vic Hanny, Oscar T. Conklin, Hal Prince H. R. Tritle, Donald Dunbar, George Kirkland and Robert Kirk.
 State Director Harry R. Tritle ap- pointed James Dobbins as chairman of the work. It is understood that it will be very easy to handle the sale Of tbrift stamps through merchants and professional men, as Postmaster Nicholson in a short drive made yes terday morning, secured 20 agencies without a refusal.
 Secretary McAdoo wired MT. Tritle Saturday that at least 300 war savings stations should be established in Phoenix, to provide the proper quota in that district, and it is confidently expected by MT. Tritle that before Friday closes, at least that number of stations will be provided with stamps.
 In order to give the business men and women of Phoenix an insight into the work proposed, it was decided at yesterdays meeting to acquaint the public through the press, with the proposed visit of the committees. Stamps will be sold in accordance with the wishes of the purchasers, as few as five dollars worth being set as the minimum. No business estab- lishment in Phoenix will escape the attention of the thrift committees, to begin work today, and all are expect 1 ed, not only to purchase as many stamps as they can possibly handle but also to make every endeavor foI | their disposal, so that orders for re- pienishment of stocks may be received often by Postmaster Nicholson. q want to see this establishment o1 thrift stations in Phoenix carried out quickly and successfully" said Mir l Tritle, "as we are a little bit behind in our work generally. It is my beliet that when people find that they car purchase these stamps for 25 cents that they will regard Secretary Me- Adoo's fine scheme to catch the small CT amounts as the very safest anC most profitable investment possible one which will teach them the habit O saving and assist our country in thi! l hour of her trial"
