Nine Positions
 FILLED IN ONE DAY
 By Students from the .LamsonBusinessConege
28 w. Washington St., Phoenix, Ariz.

The year ending June 30, 1918. was the best for our students in the history of the college. More than three hun dred students secured fine positions at large salaries When we checked up we were astonished at the number who were receiving from $75.00 to Sl0o per month who. one year ago, had not yet begun their course of training in the Lamson Business College.
 The year beginning July 1, 1918, ap- pears to be even more favorable to our students than last year. On that day we had nine calls for office help before twelve o'clock noon, and we filled every one of them. We have averaged one call every day since, the result is we have only forty-tllree students left Tn school. with scores of positions to be filled during the next four months. Business and professional men come to our office and demand some one who has had the Lamson Business College training. because our students know how to do things just as they are re- quired in business We train them that way from the day they begin the course with us.

ENGINE WHISTLE IS
 HEARD 10000 FEET
Manchester Guardian)

Camille Flammarion, the French as- tronomer, made many balloon ascents in the pursuit of his science. and in one of his journals gives some inter- estlng illustrations of the heights at which sounds from the earth are heard
 The shout of a man was heard dis tincty at the height of 1600 feet, the sharp note of a mole cricket at 2,500 feet, and the croaking of frogs in a mo- rass at three thousand feet. At 3,255 feet mans voice and the rolling of a cart were distinguished; at 4.550 feet the roll of drum and the music of an orchestra; at 5000 feet the growing Of cock, the sound of a church bell, and sometimes the shouting of men and women. Nine hundred feet higher still he heard the report of a musket and the barking of a dog. The noise of a railway train penetrated to height of S,200 feet. and the whistle of locomo tive engine to nearly ten thousand feet.

SHOWN IN PHOENIX
 BEFORE ON COAST

Does Phoenix get the fine. new nov ing picture releases as soon as the larger cities, or are they played on the coast long before they are shown in the theaters of this city?
 Theater owners here insist that Phoenix gets the best as soon as they are released. while some people declare that the opposite is the truth. In re- gard to that matter, the following was brought to attention last night:
 "Baree, Son of Kazan," shown in Phoenix on July 4. and Good Night, Paul." exhibited here last week, are features at the two largest theaters in Los Angeles this week.
