A Washington girl is responsible
for some of the most clever acting
in "She Walked in Her Sleep" which
is showing at the Garrick this week.
She is Helene Lackaye. sister OF Will

II seems rather unfortunate that a
woman has TO com ctO her own home
in an unsympathetic part-she really
ought to be cast in an ingenue role.
But then, Miss Lackaye isn't exactly
ftted for that sort of stuff-and she
docs some remarkably effective work

 FORMER HUSBAND

The wife or former wife of Lazaro Apoderado had him brought before Justice Wheeler yesterday on a charge of disturbance of the peace, though her real object was to secure herself against a suspected murderous attack. Apoderado had recently served a term in jail on her complaint. and during his incarceration she secured divorce from him. On his release he began 70 infest her again. He said he meant no harm, but that boy had told him that his wife was anxious to see him again. He did not then know that he had been divorced and perhaps had not heard of it at all until it was brought out at the trial
 It was not shown that his manner when he called upon her was violent. He had indulged in no threats He was accordingly released with an injunction rot to go near the residence of his wife who was his wife no longer.
 Mrs Apoderado was sure after if was all over that a fatal mistake had been made in turning him loose. IL meant a tragedy in that part of town

While many have taken a crack at the Mexican situation with their verbal artillery, complaining about what is happening to Americans both in Mex ico and those who have been compelled to leave, officials of the Mormon church to take active measures to care for the Americans of their faith who have been compelled to leave the thriving settlements in Mexico for safety'S sake"
 According to Andrew KimbaH, pres- dent of the St. Joseph stake. which is the territory from Miami to the border at Fl Paso, hundreds of their people who have been refugees from Mexico have been taken care of and helped to re-establish themSelvs in this country. rather than be allowed to languish in camps in the desert near the border. waiting for conditions to get better in the country that had been their home.
 Several ranches in the Duncan valley have been purchased, divided into farms of sufficient size to support a family and turned over to the refugee families on such terms as they have been able to handle with the result it is stated, that happy and prosperous conditions have taken the place of the previous desolate outlook.
 Just across the border in New Mex ico, in the upper valley of one of the Gila tributaries, an old cattle ranch was purchased and subdivided into townsites and farms. and new town of 400 people in the center of a pros porous farming country is rising or the range.

her daughter to marry when she grew up. SO she taught her to pray for lover and husband; and such prayers were always answered. For there were no maiden ladies' nor "bachelor girls" among our people, neither were there any crusty old men bachelors.
 When the men were away on the hunt for game the girls helped their mothers keep the home fires burning in a true and literal sense. The hunt CTS very often suffered. great hard ships, and their women folks always made it as pleasant for them as pos sible at their return.
 More than.-this they kept alive the spirit of courage in the hearts of the warriors who were away on the war path. Often the girls and women at such time would send the heart cheer to their defenders. They would gather before the chiefs tepee and sing a song which expressed courage to the fighting men, for they believed their song thoughts went straight to them. One of these songs composed by an Indian woman has come down to me.
 Be it known, too. that Indian girls and women were held in high respect by the men. Some time ago I was with the Apaches i'll New Mexico

AMERICAN LEGION
 NOW HAS NEW HOME

The local headquarters.o of the Ameri can Legion, which. since it's inception has been in the old Central School building, moved yesterday to larger and much pleasanter quarters over Goldberg's, on East Washington street.
 The Legion was forced to move, as were other tenants, to allow the new purchasers to take possession and start demolition of the old building.
 The new quarters are in every way much better fitted for the work of the organization. They are now centrally located, have room for club room and reading room, and it is expected in a short time to have one of the most up to- date club rooms in the city. This will remain the headquarters of the Legion until the erection of a permae nent building in this city

NUT ALL MELON GROWERS MADE
 MONEY IN 1918
Association to, Meet Satur- day in Effort to Remedy
 Lack of Co-Operation
 Making an Unprofitable

The watermelon season in the Salt River valley has been a satisfactory one in several respects. unsatisfactory in others; it has been profitable to many of the growers, some of them clearing S200 an acre, though others have made no profits. But. according to s. S. Scull. manager for the last four years of the Union Melon Grow CTS association. it has been demon strated that the industry, by the re- moval of the defects that have been discovered. may be made uniformly profitable one. ss1E
 The shipments this season were 1sns carloads. against so last year. The market was extended so that it en- braced a part of Wyoming and Colo rado. crowding the Texas melons out of the latter field Previous to this season Texas growers had invadess even the territory that rightly belonged to the valley growers. Prices weres lower this season, ranging from s25 a ton down to s10 against an average of s25 a ton last year.
 Lack of Co-Operation
 The defects of the industry accord- ing to Mir Scull, are mainly found in the lack of cooperation. There are three melon associations, and frequeHt-a ly they were aiming at the same mar kets, with the result that prices were forced down. The Japanese grownrs this year constituted a disturbing ele- ment They were suspicious of the white growers and generally they loE - cred the prices and lost heavily them selves.
 Many of the growers went into ffe business without knowledge of sf They planted melons on raw desss-r land with the result that they pa- duced small unstable melons The had heard that as much as $500 or stQ0 an acre could be made out of meloli- and they went into it without furthpr | information.
 | Seek Combination A meeting of the melon growers of the valley will be held at the Wafer Users building at 2 o'clock tom orrors, afternoon. It is desired that all of the growers in the valley be present iii- cluding the Japanese, and that a con- bination may be formed for the mar keting of the crop next year and for the dissemination of information that will result in an improvement of tie quality of valley grown melons. | MT. Scull, after a residence in the l valley of 16 years, is preparing to leave | for his former home, Pasadena For twelve years before taking the man agement of the Melon Growers asso- citation he was engaged in the fruit ] and vegetable trade.

ABOUT THE STARS


According to Egyptian mythology
CAMS Minor was the other dog which
followed Orian the giant hunter In
his many wanderings. 1t was noted
for being a forerunner of the Greater
log as 1t rose an hour earlier and
gave notice of the approach of his
companion. They were both observed
as warning signs Of the approach OF
an over flow of the Nile.
The term DOG Days perhaps orisi-
rated from the fact that about the
25th OF July Of each year Sirius the
greater dog rises at the same time as
that Of the sun and Pcrcyon, the lesser
dog short time before, and they to-
gether with the fierce rays of the sun
make the heat almost unbearable in
low latitudes and cause dogs to go
mad. 1t is well known however that
the small amount OF heat given out
by and star is impreceptibie when 1t
reaches the earth. They also held to
the theory that these stars also pro-
duced malignant feyers during July
ard August of each year.
