terS of Los Angeles. In fact, Yen0ys
comes direct to Phoenix from Grau-
mans million dollar Los Angeles house
While Belmont and Layton have also
just finished long tour on big time. !"
The first mentioned act is unique on
the stage, consisting of dancing and
music. Belmont, by the way, is Won
derfhlly lively solo dancer and although
he has only one leg and a crutch, he
patters out clog dance as rythmically
as it can be done by many prominent
artist who has both feet with which to
beat the boards.
Yendys is an entertainer that an au-
dience could enjoy all night. His Chi
nese dialogue is replete with laughter,
while his sight of-hand work is both
novel and entertaining. These vaude-
vile numbers, it must be remembered,
are in addition to the regular Columbia
film offering. The picture program it
self is out of the ordinary.
Douglas Fairbanks in Manhattan
Madness has the place of the feature
and he is entitled to it. If Fairbanks
ever had a masterpiece, it is "Manhat-
tan Madness" His work is thrilling
from start to finish and he does many
stunts that he has never before enacted
in front of the camera. His leap from
three-story building into tree is one
of the spectacular spots of the film, but
it is only one of many.
In addition, the first of the series of
Outing Chester travel films is being
shown. The scenic beauty of these pic
lures would alone make them success
full if they had no other virtue, but they
have. A Mutt and Jeff comedy rounds
out the program to perfection, adding
just the proper amount of humor to
send the audience away in the right
spirit. Only the picture program will
be given at the matinee performance
this afternoon.

screen of the Columbia theater for
three days starting Thursday after
noon. Americas Answer" will do more
to bring to the people of Phoenix a
true realization of what Uncle Sam

bringing about a quick termination of
the war.
But this great war film is not merely
a reproduction of the various industrial
enterprises-far be it from SUCH 1t

war making. 1t shows the manufac-
turer of airships, transports, shells and
munitions; it shows our soldiers in
their training camps, in actual battle
and in the retrenchment camps of
France; it shows the navy doing its bit
in support of world freedom; it shows
daring aerial stunts, in fact it is prac-
tically a review of Uncle Sans part in
the war during his first year that his
hat was in the ring.

beautiful woman in the world, is seen
today for the final times at the La

love drama of old Athens, "Gismonda, y

Slghty duchess who learned to love
an humble subject of her realm to be
content without him, but who fought
against her fate because he was not of
equal birth, is so well known as to
need no more than passing mention.
This wonderful drama served as We

screen production under Paramounts
banner has proven rare entertain

WOUNDED SOLDIERS
PASSED WEST over
C. & 0. THURSDAY
They We're Just From the Battle
Fields Of France and We're Bound
For Base Hospitals.

A special train of five coaches pass
ed West over the c. & o. yesterday,
filled with wounded soldiers from the
battle front in France. They were the
biggest, bravest and finest of this
country's young manhood, every one
of whom have made what is almost
equivalent to the greatest of all sacri-
fees, for never again will they enjoy
life as they formerly did.
One young hero had lost leg, half
dozen were without an arm, great
head wounds were shown by several,
some were suffering from gas, bay
onet wounds were common sights,
while some were too i'll to raise from
their beds. All heroes.
They had fought in the battles of
last July, which will go down in his
tory of the fiercest of the war, for the
famous Prussian Guards were their
opponents.
Many wore the "Croix de Guerre," "
which they received in reward for
bravery under fire.
These young heroes, one hundred
and forty strong, were fresh from the
battlefelds of Sergy, Seringes, Cha
teau Thierry and the Orcq, a good
number of them being of the Rain
bow Division"
All were en- route to the base hos
pitfalls in New Mexico and Des Doines,
Iowa, where they will receive treat
ment until we'll, and then will go to
their homes to again take up life
where the threads were broken over
a year ago when they so bravely went
forth in this greatest of all causes.
Train No. 2 Eastbound carried
about fifty uniformed men, ten Ma
rines, twenty-eight sailors, five SOL
diers and a number of selectives,
while No. 8, Westbound carried about
twenty soldiers and sailors, all a
merry set of lads, most of whom were
homeward bound on furloughs.

"SKlMMING" OF CREAM
IS ORDERED DONE
New Ruling of Federal Food Adminis-
traitor Is Aimed to Release
Butter Fats.

Ner orders recently promulgated by
the Division of Dairy Products, of the
United States Food Administration at
Washington, prohibits all distributors
OF sweet cream or milk from Selling
cream containing more than 20 per
cent butter fat, according to tele-
gram received today by the Federal
Food Administrator for Kentucky
A question has been raised as to
whether this rule applies to nonli-
cense d distributors. Washington s
ruling received today says;
Administration will consider sale
of sweet cream containing over 20
per cent. butter fat as wasteful prac-
tice, whether sold by licensed or un-
licensed dealers, except as provided
in the rule"
Producers who do not distribute
their product are not included, and
cream used for butter making is ex-
empt.
The principal effects of the ruling
should be to lower the present price
of cream and to release the great
quantity of butter fat now going into
the sweet cream trade for butter max
ing. The new order comes as the re-
suit of investigations which indicated
a SeriOuS ShOrtapp in tho hIttar ma r.
ket, due to the high price of feeds and
labor, and to the heavy demands for
army and navy use, and for exporta-
tion to the allied countries.

SETTLED FOR $50
Per HOGSREAD WITH
TOBACCO COMPANY
Council Last Night Made Final Set.
tlement For This Years Taxes
With the American Tobacco
Company.

An adjourned meeting of the City
Council was held last night Mayor
Thomas NJ. Russell presiding, and all
members present except Members
Hunsicker and Lalley
Several very important matters
were taken up and settled that will
mean saving to the taxpayers and
avoid an expensive litigation in the
courts.
The first thing considered was the
matter of paving Lower street from
Second street to the concreted terri
tory around the new c. & o. depot.
Some time ago Mr.. f. 7. Kirk made
proposition to the Internal Improve
ment Committee Chairman, Mr.. Will
liam Watkins, and Mayor Thomas
NJ Russell that he would pay the diff
ference between a macadam street
and concrete drive on that portion
of that thoroughfare. His idea was
looking toward the further improve
ment to his property which abuts that
portion of Lower street on both sides.
The concreting of this street will not
| only make that one of the incest in
| the city, but will be more in keeping
with the concrete work around the
new depot and will keep that portion
free from mud and dust to marked
degree. Mr.. Kirk presented his plan,
and he was given permission to make
3O-foot concrete street, and if he
deemed it to his best judgment to
make a siX-foot sidewalk on the East
side Of the street and a four-foot walk
on the West side, which will leave an
| approximate space of five feet be-
tween the sidewalk and street for
grass and trees.
Mayor Russell stated that the lum-
ber for the floor of Limestone bridge
had arrived and asked Council for an
appropriation of the necessary money
to pay for it, which was made, he to
see that the material came up to spe-
cifications. The new floor will be put
down Immediately, as it is badly need
| ed.
The matter of the erroneous tax
ing of the American Tobacco Com
pany was then taken up. 1t developed
that the assessment made against the
| Company by the assessor and tho
| Board of Equalization last spring was
made from the County Assessor S
| books,-that is the amount assessed
being practically what was in the city
and county combined This phase of
the situation was not made plain at
the last meeting of Council. AS sew
eral members did not think the city
had any right to base its assessments
on what was in the county outside the
citys corporate limits, motion was
made to accept the offer of the Com
pany of $50 per hogshead on S.049
hogsheads they had on hand in the
city on the 1st of last April, which
carried. Attorney w d. Cochran fol-
the company made it very plain that
the law allowed such proceeding. A
communication from the Board OF
Eqalization, signed by all the mem
bers, was read and they advised that
this course be taken.
After referring several other mat.
ters to the Propositions and Griev.
ances committee, Council adjourned.

Local conditions are improved
somewhat over the past three days.
There we're II new cases reported and
two deaths, the deaths being in the
county, and with no deaths reported
in the city today the conditions give
hope that the crest has been passed
here. Reports from the emergency
hospital on Bridge street, where there
are 26 cases being treated, are that
all are doing as well as could be eX-
pected and that if the same improve
ment continues several can be dis
charged in few days.
But, keep up the work of being
careful and report any suspicious
cases of illness to your family physi-
clan Immediately.
