by binding together a number OF

the saw will have the appearance OF a

CLARENCE |CE
 NOW IN CHARGE

Clarence E. Ice, recently selected to succeed Joseph P. Kehoe as city dairy inspector and sealer of weights and measures, formally assumed the duties of his office yesterday. For several days he had been making a study of the work before him under the guid- ance of Inspector Kehoe who now goes to the Standard Oil company as city salesman.
 The selection of MT. Ice for the re- sponsible position he now holds, brings to the staff of City Manager Thompson, a man who has demonstrated his worth in business lines and who enjoys the friendship of all who know him. In as- suming the work where Inspector Ke- hoe left off the new official finds com- plete records of all the work done since the two offices were established and in addition has the satisfaction of find- ing the way already paved for strict observance of the milk ordinances of the city.

and Harry Harrison of the Redpath Chautauqua bureau. These men have outlined comprehensive scheme of the best professional entertainment that the country affords to be placed in every training camp and cantonment Many of the leading actors and actress es have given their services gratis, such as Maude Adams, William Faver- sham, etc.
 Four comedy companies already are assigned to this new field. They are Broadway organizations presenting ac- cepted Broadway successes such as Turn to the Right Cheating Cheat ers," Here Comes the Bride In side the Lines There also are to be musical comedies such as The Prince | of Pilsen.' The Red Mil "The | Chocolate Soldier Robin Hood,' and the Gilbert and Sullivan compositions. | Ordinarily the cost of booking such attractions would be prohibitive. But the performers and managers of the United States have met the council with such patriotic cooperation as % put these productions within the reach l of every soldier in the United States. | As a result, the money cost of these performances will range from 10 cents to 25 cents a seat. Many soldiers will not be able to attend many perform ances, even at these prices. Thousands of them are sending home practically all of their pay. On the other hand practically every soldier has those al home who strongly desire to contribute into his camp life something of whole some and cheerful entertainment.
 Therefore, this council has origin ated a type of book of tickets that members of the soldiers family and hi. friends may send to him at the front 1 They are to be called "Smileage Books and will be made up of coupons some what like mileage books of the rail- roads.
 In books of one size twenty coupon: will be sold for dollar. In books O another size, one hundred will be solt for five dollars. These coupons vii be good for payment for seats at an. performance in any camp theater. A gifts, these "Smileage Books" will hay rather distinctive character. Eacl time the soldier tears coupons iron his book he will renew his sense o attention from the sender. Every bool will constitute a current of interes between the man at the front and tn folks at home.
 Detailed plans of the campaign o 'Smileage Week. in Phoenix and Ari zona will be announced in day or tw
 as soon as the organization is per
 fected.

Governor and Commission On Public Institutions
 Goes to Tucson to Meet
 With University Regents

Long distance sparring between the commission of state institutions and the board of regents of the University of Arizona in regard to relations of the board and the university with John $. Lyman, Jr., is going to be replaced to- morrow with a close order, face face joint session in which each will be able to understand thoroughly just Whft the other says, and means.
 Governor Hunt also will be present. The governor, Chairman Homer Woods of the commission Fred c. Struckmey- and Secretary Mcbride left Phoenix last night for Tucson. They have a meeting with the board of res>nts scheduled for 10 o'clock this morning. The commission expects to return to Phoenix tonight.
 The commission of sta.,e institutions is going to Tucson to meet with the re- gents of the university" said Secretary Mcbride yesterday, Ito find out where the misunderstanding lies between the commission. and the board and to ask the regents why they have repudiated the understanding which was reached between them and the commission a few days ago."
 We also will ask the regents to ex- plain," declared F. c. Struckmeyer, at- torney member of the commission, why they retained MT. Lyman as pur- chasing agent and inspector to pass on material which he himself purchased and when the law expressly states that the purchasing shall be done by the commission.
 The board of regents must under l Afr that the commission has authority over all receipts and expenditures o1 the university and it makes no differ ence as to the source of those receipts The law holds the commission liable for all expenditures"
 The differences between the regent: and the commission have arisen ove the contracts made with John B. Ly. man. Jr., as supervising architect of tn, new mining building at the university made before the present commission was appointed. That a tentative agree
 ment between the regents and the oem
 mission in regard to the Lyman matte
 was made some days ago was the an
 nouncement of the commission, and tn
 alleged agreeent was made public. , However, forty-eight hours scarcel
 had elapsed after the publication of tn dSIeerhent when information came t the commission that the regents ha mec and had passed d resolution to tn , effect that they would stand bv th original contract made with Architec , Lyman. And to further the ruptur,
 the regents apparently ignored tn l commission and let that body learn C the resolution through outside sources , From all indications, the meeting ( , the regents and the commission q l Tucson today promises to be an inter esting one. Governor Hunt is goin
 along to learn why the two appointiy f branches of his official family do nc , work in harmony. The governor Ia

Richard Walton TuIly's "The Flame"
 Richard Walton Tully's spectacular melodrama, "The Flame will come to the Elks theater for two days, con- mencing Monday, January 2S. The many varied features of this production has attracted every type of theatergo- CT with the result that the theater is crowded at each performance. From the present outlook, The Flame" is going to outstrip in popularity Tully's previous success "The Bird of Para disc" and Omar. the Tentmaker"
 Fully has achieved many splendid things of a spectacular nature, but his staging of The Flame is easily his best work. The scene showing a hur- ricane sweeping through the green jungle is marvel of realistic stage craft while equally interesting from the standpoint of novelty is the process sion of voodoo worshippers through the moonlit banana grove.

Board of Governors Pass
 Upon Committee Report
 and Select John L. Gust As It's Legal Adviser

Recommending an amendment to the articles of incorporation to make pro- vision for the formation of drainage districts within the Salt River Valley project, providing that such districts may upon petition of two-thirds of those involved in the district be formed within the projects and that the cost of such drainage work be paid for by the district thus formed, the special committee named at the last meeting of the project board of governors re- ported at the semi monthly meeting yesterday morning. This report was accepted and the proposition was re- ferred to the council. With the coun- cips approval the question will be submitted to the shareholders at the general election in April. It will take a two thirds favorable vote in the council to thus submit the amendment
 This recommendation of the com mittee, it is understood, was not the unanimous idea of those interested in the serious drainage problem in the project lands. Some favored the han ding of the drainage problem by the project as a whole rather than as a | sectional problem. This would have enabled the handling of the problem fol all lands without the formation of in dividual drainage districts for eact section now or in the future, affected | by underground waters.
 It was also decided by the board o1 governors to retain Attorney John L Gust as legal advisor for the board iT place of Judge Kibbey, who resigned some time ago. Mir. Gust will be lega advisor for the project for the balance of the association year, which ends ol May 1.
 Another important matter taken III was the question involved in a repor which came to the board that privat
 parties were building a device in th'
