AT THE CENTRAL

A stirring war play, one whose ac. tion centers on the front lines in France. will be shown at the Central theater today. It is a William Fox play called "A Daughter of France, DO and in it the beautiful Miss Virginia PearsOn is starred. It is a typical love in the trenches" play but has in it a twist that is surprising. In fact it is one of those dramas that keeP you on edge continually because you cannot foresee the ending, and while you hope it will turn out according to your sympathy for heroic France you are never sure but what the villains may conquer. The picture also pre- sents an idea of what happened when the Germans overran France, regard ing neither women nor churches. Miss Pearson gives a splendid portrayal Of the anguish that Overcomes a true hearted French girl of noble Blood when the enemy occupy her town and her chateau. Here is romance and ad- venture 'aplenty. lf

BISBEE'S SUM M E R SCHOOL RECEIVES
 ATTENTION
ECTOR OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN ARIZONA COMPILE MENTs sIs8EE HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATION IN THE FED- ERAL ACTS PROVISIONS

The great interest that has been ere ated in vocational education by the Smith-Hughes bill has called attention in state educational circles 10 the eX- tent to which vocational education has been undertaken in the Bisbee schools. More work is offered in the Bisbee high school than is ordinarily given in high schools of the country Al the present time courses are being offered Tn automobile repairing, telegraph, radio buzzer work. mechanical draw ing, printing and the usual manual training courses for boys, and, for girls, courses are offered in dress de- signing, dressmaking and sewing, and for both boys and girls, courses in stenOgraphy, typewriting. stenOrypo and booking. These are in addition to the usuals related subjects of the high school curriculum. The courses are open to all who are qualified to pursue them, no prerequisites being neces- sary.
 State Director of Vocational Eduea- tion COlodny recently made an inspec- ton of the work being done under the Smith-Hughes act, which provides for federal aid in schools doing vocational work, and expressed himself as bein5 very much pleased with the efficient way in which it was being carried out at Bisbee. In speaking of the Bisbee schools Director COlodny declared them to be of high order Whatever is needed for the Bisbee schools" he said 'is supplied to them without question. The Copper Queen and other big companies of Bisbee have been criticised for some things, but the spirit of lberality shown toward the public schools is highly commendable. In buildings and equipment they are second to none"

NEW REGULATION
 REQUIRES PROMPT
 PAYMENT OF FREIGHT

F. L. Williams, agent for the Fl Paso & Southwestern in this city has mailed the following letter to patrons of the road calling their,attentiOn to the fact that. payment of freight bills must be made promptly in the future when freight is received or bills pre- sented
 Gentlemen: I am just in receipt of United States Railroad administra- tion's general order No. 25 which goes into effect August 1, 1918. This order provides that all charges for freight must be paid within forty-eight t4S) hours after delivery of freight, or freight bill is presented. It is required that freight be paid on the date of delivery of freight or presentation of freight bill, but it is absolutely obliga- tory on the part of consignee to pay charges within forty-eight C48D hours When there is a question as to ae- curacy of charges, bills must be paid as rendered and claim presented for alleged error. unless it is an obvious error that can be readily corrected by the agent.
 All existing arrangements for bOnd- ing or credit existing prior to August are cancelled.
 Yours truly,
 F L. WILLIAMS.

accepted as readily as they are for Liberty Loan and Red Cross cam paigns. This plan of labor quotas is a protection for all communities The object is to keep any commun ity from being drained of labor, and to use local supply, as far as possible, for local demand. The situation, however, is such that-in, certain cases some men may have to be transported over long distances.
 You will note from the above outline that this is probably the most drastic action that the Government has taken since putting the National Army draft into effect. The absolute necessity for this program can be seen when it is realized that in Pittsburg, for instance, there are advertisements calling for men to go to Detroit; while in Detroit street cars there are posters asking men to go to Pittsburg. This same condition is apparent all over the United States and in the consequent shifting of labor. a. great part of our war effort is dissipated. ,,, Because of your official position, we are taking the liberty of asking that you, by proclamation or otherwise, as. may seem best, make this situation plain to the people of your community, as well as to your various industllai and labor organizations-th to the end that the whole-hearted support of the Nation may be given to the Gov ernment in this vital matter, since it is only through united action that ade- quate results can be obtained in tie present emergency.
 Yours respectfully,
 J. B. DENSMORE,
 Director Geners.i

H ONE SERVICE WILL PROTECT LOVED
 ONES HERE
SOLDIERS OR SAILORS ONLY NEED TO APPEAL TO RED CROSS SECTION IN ORDER TO
 HAVE WANTS OF THEIR TAMIL IFS ATTENDED TO BY MEMBERS

The Bisbee home service section of the American Red Cross society stands ready as do all other such sec tions, to carry out the pledges made by the Red Cross in the following bull letin:
 Home service sections of the Amer ican Red Cross are organized with just one purpose-tO see that all fam flies of soldiers and sailors are ma,.- tained in comfort and peace of mind while the men are in service.
 Any soldier or sailor who knows or fears that his family is in trouble should appeal at once to Home Ser vice. He should go at once to the Home Service man attached to his di- vision here or abroad, or write to his family to take their troubles to the Red Cross Home Service section in their home town.
 Men in service know they will be taken care of if they are wounded or sick; they should know also that the Home Service workers of the Red Cross are willing to relieve them of worry concerning their families so far as that is possible.
 Relations between Home Service workers and families are as confiden- tial as those between doctors and tne1r patients. Home Service means sym pathy, advice, expert information about laws and regulations, medical care, spiritual comfort and everything which can be given by real friends 10 compensate the family for the absence of the man in service.

The two German shell fuses, re- produced above, were sent by Lieut.. Richard H. Habbe from France to his father, John F. Habbe. The up- per one did not explode and was de- tached without mishap from the ex- plosive container. Both were found outside the dugout occupied by Lieu tenant sHabbe, who is with Head quarters Company of the Fifteenth field artillery. The device for regu- lating the time to elapse between be- ing fired and exploding is plainly visible. The fuses were on 77-mili- meter shells. .

Bush man and Beverly Bayne, are present ed in most pleasing parts. Mr. Bush man plays Warren Dexter. a young man who believes he is a woman hater. with particular dislike for so- ciety butterflies. Miss Bayne is seen as Phyllis Lane, a brilliant butter fly" who wagers that she can change his ideas. How she wins her wager is revealed in scenes of thrilling ac- tion in which both of these favorite stars are very active Social Quick sands" furnishes excellent screen en- tertainment.
