SLASHES WRIST WITH RAZOR, BUT
 WON' I TELL WHY.

Crying See this yellow blood," a young man of good appearance and fairly well dressed ran into the sher ifs office yesterday evening. There was blood coming from him, and plenty of 1t, but the color of it suggested that the young man who was shedding it was color blind, for the blood was very red. It was streaming from a deep gash in his left wrist. He had slashed himself with razor, which he still clutched
 The young man was taken into a rear office and a physician was sent for. It was found that, deep as the cut was the blade of the knife had not quite reached an artery, but it had barely missed it. The gash was two inches long and an inch in depth, gaping wound. The wound was dressed and throughout the operation the man offered no explanation. He made no remark. He now and then groaned and frequently winced but made no other sign.
 As was learned from a dairy found in his pocket. he is John c. Roll of Denver. 40 years of age. His father, John B. Roll, lives in Cincinnati.

One of the reasons why Fair and Warmer" the Avery Hopwood farce classic. which Selwyn &s Company will present at the Elks' theater four nights, beginning next Thursday eve ming. March ', after its year-run at the Eltinge theater, New York. and it's eight months run in Chicago, were record breakers for making laughs and making money, was that Mr. Hop- wood had devised a strikingly dramatic and coherent story as the basis for his farce situations.
 The first act opens on a family dis agreement between MT. and Mrs. Bart lett, married two years. because Mrs. Bartlett likes parties and MT. Bartlett thinks his place is the home. There enters an ex-suitor of Mrs. Bartletts, who cajoles her off to the opera with him. MT. and Mrs. Jack Wheeler, meanwhile. have arrived with the mo- tion that they had been invited to din- ner on that night. They are discovered to be as sadly ill-assorted as the Bart let's except that it is Mrs. Wheeler who is overly domestic, and Jack who pines for a spree. A delft scene or two, and presto, MT. Bartlett and Mrs.

Rubber Substitutes

Transportation other than railway is also beset by increasing difficulties. Not only the scarcity of metals, but of petroleum and rubber as well, make it difficult to keep the army supplied with automobiles. Civilian automo- piles are mostly fitted with wooden, metal, or composition tires, all of the rubber being reserved for army use
 Transportation by means of horses is also in a bad way, for horses are scarce and in extremely poor conditions. There is a regulation which prohibits drayman from allowing anyone to share his seat on the wagon, so as to spare the horses extra work. During the winter, transportation in the cities has been sadly interrupted by accu- mutations of snow, the force of street sweepers not being sufficient to keep them clear. A heated and somewhat homorous controversy has been waged in the German papers over an official order which compelled every landlord to keep the street in front of his house clear of snow. He is compelled by this order to clean the street before the sidewalk, and he is empowered to con- script as laborers every occupant of his premises between the ages of six teen and sixty, who are obliged to do as much work as they are bodily able. This order seems to have been uni

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 DOING THEIR BIT"
 FUR COUNTRY'S AID

An interesting report has been re- ceived by the school trustees of the Roosevelt school from Miss Elizabeth Richards, teacher of the West End school in that district. The report treats with the war work being carried on by the school children, both for the Red Cross and the sale of Thrift stamps.
 Eight dollars have been contributed toward Red Cross work by the West End Red Cross auxiliary. Two dollars of this was used for a subscription to the Red Cross magazine, $1.66 for knitting needles and $40 to the Phoe- nix chapter. The sale of Red Cross Christmas seals amounted to $4. Nine pupils won Modern Health Crusader seal pins for sale of 25 seals each. Two pupils won Silver Helmet pins for the sale of 100 seals each.
 A Thrift campaign was started about six weeks ago. Nine pupils own and are filling Thrift cards by earning and purchasing Thrift stamps. With the exception of a very few pupils, all are from homes of very limited means, and the teacher finds it necessary, not only to furnish inspiration for the work, but to furnish opportunity for most of these pupils to earn stamps. Some of the pupils earn stamps by assisting in the care of the school building and grounds.
 Before Arbor day Miss Richards of fered Thrift stamps to all who would bring two small perfect cottonwood trees, freshly dug, for planting along the irrigation ditches on the west and south sidesgof the school grounds. On Arbor day Mexican courteously re- sponded to an invitation to help the bows dig holes for the tree panting. He would not accept pay. but was glad to have his young daughter receive in Thrift stamps the benefit of his labor.
 Twenty six young trees were brought in by the pupils. MT. Peyton, neigh Dor. contributed seven young cotton woods and one willow and supervised the planting of the trees. After learn ing of the Thrift stamp offer he re- quested taht the pupils have the bene- fit of his tree contribution, which was greatly appreciated

Metals Very Scarce

Of course, her recent conquests are a factor that must be considered. An article in a German paper admits that little in the way of metal will be got ten from the conquered parts Of Italy, although stores of cotton and textile mills have been taken. It seems safe to say that while Russia may yield considerable stores of food to Germany, not much in the way of metals will be gotten from that disorganized country for some time to come.
 The scarcity of metals in Germany is reflected in many small items, such as those mentioning the removal of steam pipes from trans and local trains. From another paper we learn that Germans have been called upon to sur render to the government all house, hold appointments of copper, brass, pinchbeck, tombac and bronze. Ap- parently, the German nouseholders are loath to part with their ornaments, for we learn from a recent item that the time for turning in these things has been extended and the price to be paid for them increased. A special request is made to all chemists to surrender the large brass mortars and pestles which they own, but for which por- 1 order also went forth condemning two old bells in the Hospital church in the l Spittelmarkt, Berlin, to be melted down and sent to the front. Apparently in response to protests, these old bells were later exempted and freed from military service on account of their age and artistic value.''
 A report on the Rhenish- Westphalian iron market states that the various iron works in that district could in- crease their production in the trans portation facilities for moving ore and coal could be had.
 Germany, then, apparently is in the dilemma of having enough Iron to r-- pair her transportation system, if she only had the transportation with which to move the iron. In regard to other metals, and especially copper, her case is worse, as shown by the way she is ransacking the empire for copper and it's alloys

versally unpopular One editorial points out that owing to the scarcity of coal, relations between landlords and ten- ants are already somewhat strained, and that this last order will surely lead to trouble. Nevertheless, it ap- pears that the order was enforced.
 Transportation is only one part of the German industrial equipment which is slowly deteriorating under the war strain. Similar evidence can be found with regard to textile and other fac

DORIS EMPLOYES

At a meeting of the employees of the J. W. Doris grocery store held last evening, a club was formed to further the purchase of Thrift stamps and certificates among the employees. The club will be known as the Doris Thrift club, and the members will meet one night each week to trans act business in connection with the purchose of the stamps and any other matters that may come before the club.
 With Vernon w. Evans in the chair, the following officers were elected, E. A. Fawell president; E. E. Williams, vice. president, and Jack Salyards, secretary and treasurer.

Edith Storey at Lamara

Edith Storey, Metro star, is well known to the American public for her emotional dramatic work. Starting her stage career when very young, she played many famous child parts, some of them being in "The Little Princess, 9 Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,' and "Rebecca of Sunny ybrook Farm

STEER ID BE SOLD
 FUR THE RED CROSS

Somebody is going to pay a good price for a steer calf next Wednesday. But it is a good calf, and it is going to be sold for still better cause. It is now the property of c. L. Dalton, living four and a half miles east of the city and a half mile north of the Mcdowell road, and will be auctioned off by C. O. McMurtry, the auction be- ginning at 30 o'clock. The proceeds of the sale will go to the Red Cross The calf is a HOlstein.
 It is expected that the bidding for this prize will be spirited. for is not at every sale of live stock that one can get bargain and at the same time help a worthy cause.

the important role with distinction and intelligence while her songs are of the best in the show.
 The chorus is composed of some dazzling ducklings whose graceful lines and unquestioned ability make them exceptionally fitted to be adorn- ed in the brilliant costumes provided.
 Among the men, Frances Young and Lew Dunbar have the principle comedy roles while Leonard Bris- bane, Earl Caldwell and Jimmie Ed wards are prominent in the support.
 The play itself is a handsome farce in musical setting having excruti- ating complications of a martial na- ture and should appeal strongly to enlisted men and their families, for while Bill Jackson, the hero, never went to war, he found what Sher- man said war was, right at home. The play points to a good moral, viz: Don't lie to your wife.

Man Above the Iawv

Man Above the Law and the
 Retreat of the Germans" are the offerings at the Columbia tonight. The Retreat of the Germans is sure one of the wonders of the film world. It was taken while the big battle was in action and showing the big conflict as it really is. The picture was taken by the Pathc company by permission of the French government and the proceeds of the rental of this film will be donated to the British red cross.
 The story of the Man Above the Law is as follows:
 Esther Brown arrives from the east and opens a missionary school. She pleads with Chalmers to stop selling bad whisky to the Indians and MeXicans, and also allow his daughter to attend school. He agrees to the latter, but evades the former. Chalmers and Esther are drawn to each other and their interest ripens into love.
 During a Mexican celebration one night, Esther is attacked. Chalmers called to the rescue by Tonah, stays the teachers assailant and it is then that both realize the strength of their love. Esther however insists that Chalmers return to his squaw and daughter ,Natchah sees the rescue and is driven to action by her hate and makes an attempt on Esthers life, but is caught by Chalmers. Then Esther tells Chalmers that one of them must leave the place and the Man Above the Law" asked a day to reach his decision. When Esther returns in the morning for her an swer. she finds that Chalmers, his | squaw and daughter have gone.

want of coal. It is stated that a ma jority of the workmen and artisans in Berlin and it's suburbs have no coal Local trains are generally not heated, and other trains only to slight ex- tent From trolley cars and local trains the steam pipes have generally been removed because the metal is needed elsewhere. There are stringent regulations against the heating of halls and other public places. Strangely enough, theaters are exempted from this provision, while moving pictures shows are allowed to use wood for fuel. The German government evidently con- siders amusement foi the people of paramount importance
 These reports in the German press may not be reliable, but it may be safely assumed that they do not make the case appear any worse than 1t is. The same may be said of an article which professes to set forth the details of the railway situation. This state hent claims that since the war began the railway authorities have provided 4,900 new locomotives and 10000 cars, both of which numbers are greater than the peace time production. The price of locomotives has risen 54 per cent and that of cars so per cent. Pas senger traffic has been greatly re- stricted. only about 55 per cent of the peace time passenger schedule being maintained.
 The facts seem to be, then, that by tremendous efforts Germany has actu- ally increased her prouuction of roll ing stock. But the coal situation dur ing the past winter alone proves that this increased production, coupled with the reduction to a necessary minimum of the passenger traffic. has not been able to meet the war time demand fol transportation. Meantime, metal anc all other materials are steadily be- coming scarcer. the quantity ano standard of labor are oeclining. The conclusion seems inevitable that Ger many would have great difficulty II getting through another winter of war

"The Manx-Man" at Empress.

Ioday there comes directly from New York. where it crowded the Cri- terion theater for a solid month, the George Loane Tucker film version of The ManX-Man, presented by Henry J. Brock, and shown here at the Elm press theater. There is in this play not merely one or two but an entire cast of well-hnown screen players who go to make this exceptional film what it is-a classic in the realm of screen land. MT. Tucker was so avid for true local color in this, his greatest work, that he took his entire company to the Isle of Man, and there, in association with Hall Caine, author of the book of the play, himself, evolved the scenes that make up the screen drama. His triumph is setting new standard for the screen is conceded by the press and public exclamation alike in metropoli- tan centers.

w. S. Hart at the Hip Today

W. S. Hart in his master picture, The Bargain" which many agree is his greatest effort on the screen, fin ishes three-day run starting this morning at the Hip. No picture in the winter season has attracted more at tention than this wonderful production from the hand of the gifted Thomas H. lnce. Taken, as it was, at the Grand Canyon. it has a particular sig nificance for Arizonians.
 Tomorrow, for that date only, Her bert Brenon sends on a return date the greatest melodrama of the history of the screen, The Lone Wolf" from the story by Joseph Louis Vance, with Bert LyteH in the part of this master cracksman of the Paris underworld. Here is a story with what the movie makers like to call everything" Ii has punch, love interest, heart throbs, action and enough pep to fill dozen shows. To those who saw it on the oc- casion of its premier here it needs but the word that it is to be returned.
 The bringing back of the picture is by request of hundreds who were un- able to gain entrance on the occasion of it's first appearance.
