THRILLS OF THE CIRCUS
 BROUGHT TO SCREEN

Do you remember the indescribable tang of the sawdust ring?
 Can you recall the "Ice coP red lemo" of the white-coated attendant or the raucous call of the peanut ven der; the roar of the lions mingling with the multitudinous shouts of the spectators and performers, and the grand finale of the three-ring per formance when the chariots dash mad ly round the outer circle, the foam flecked horses urged to their utmost endeavors by the cries of the multi tude?
 All this and more can again be en- joyed by attending Lang's theatre where "The Lure of the Circus," a master Universal serial, with Eddie Polo, is shown.
 Aerial stunts never before attemp- ted outside circus ring; bareback rid ing that will recall the ambition you had when a boy to marry a girl in pink tights who jumped through the hoop; a street parade, that as a kid you waited hours on the street corner to see, will be features of the serial.
 In preparing the scenario Director McGowan, noted for his daring con- captions in the Helen Holmes series of railroad pictures, was given free rein in the matter of expense, and with the assistance of owners and per formers of several large circus com panies has incorporated every inter- esting and exciting episode in circus life in the big serial.

GETS LARGE REFUND

The state corporation commission has ordered the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, United Verde and Phoenix and Eastern railroads to refund to the United Verde Extension Copper com pany more than $2O0,0O0 which was paid the railroads in what have been determined as excess rates on haulage of ores from the company's mines at Jerome to Douglas and Hayden. This matter has been before the corpora- tion commission some time and as the railroad has acknowledged the excess charges it was up to the commission to assess the amount. This has been done and the pro rata of each com- pany will be figured out and paid. The rebate will be a nice little nest egg for dividend by the company later on.

WHAT THE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF so. CAL. SAYS OF OLD TRAILS HIGHWAY

south of Holbrook and between Springerville and Socorro, the count " is mountainous in character and heavily timbered. There are no steep grades on either route. From Albu- euerque north through Santa Fe to Las Vegas, conditions are very favor able for motor travel. Between Las Vegas and Raton, the road is in poor condition, particularly in the vicinity of Wagon Mound, where in places the soil is of adobe formation and when wet almost prohibits motor travel. In that same locality, the road is very rough in dry weather due to dried up tire tracts. Trinidad north through Walsenburg, Pueblo, Colorado Springs to Denver, excellent Colorado High way. Road is also in good shape from Trinidad east through La Junta, Sy- racuse and McPherson to Kansas City and other points east.
 The employees in the Touring Bu- reau of the Club have devoid most of their time exclusively to answering inquiries on transcontinental high ways, particularly the Santa Fe Trail in the past month, and it is estimated that at least twenty touring parties are leaving for visit in the east every day from the southern part of the state and an average of more than twenty cars day will soon be ar irving in Southern California from eastern points over the Santa Fe Trail, judging from the number of inquiries received by the Club from eastern motorists contemplating trips to the Coast.

A report made by one of the em- ployees of the Touring Bureau of the
 Club who recently drove from Los Angeles to Williams, Arizona, and the Grand Canyon is as follows: Los An geles via the state highway through San Bernardino to the summit of Ca jon Pass, paved, thence excellent dirt road recently graded and we'll main- tained by San Bernardino County through Victorville, to Barstow. Bar stow to Ludlow, good; Ludlow to Ann boy, 26 miles of very rough and sandy road. Between these points there are two roads, one to the north and one to the south of the railroad, and it is op- tional which is used, both are poor. Amboy to Needles, good; Needles to Kingman, good with the exception of some rough stretches between Topock and Yucca. Kingman to Seligman fair to excellent road. One stretch of about five in length in Nelson Can yon which affords slow going due to a washout last fall. SeGgman te Ash Fork and Williams good. Re- ports received from Williams and Flagstaff indicate that the roads con- meeting those towns with the Grand Canyon are in good condition. Will Hams due east to Flagstaff and Win slow, excellent highway, with the ex- ception of the last few miles into Winslow, which is reported to be very rough and rocky in stretches. Be sure and advise all motorists to take the new road out of Winslow. That new road is to the north side of the high way and is in excellent condition. The old road, to the south side of the rail road, because of neglect and heavy travel in the past, is in very deplor- able condition. After summing up reports received from motorists who have recently driven over the Gallup and Springerville routes, between Hol- brook and Albuquerque, we can see very little difference i1 road condi-
 tions between those two routes, al- though most of the travel is advised to use the route by way of Springer vile. The Gallup route is some 67 miles shorter and closely follows the main line of the Santa Fe Railroad. Excellent accommodations at Gallup, where a new Harvey House has been built. Many commendable things have been done on the Gallup route in the way of improving conditions and while it is true there still remain a few difficult dry river beds and ar royas to cross, no one should have any kesitancy or difficulty in using the
 route. Both roads have been sign posted by the Club. There is also nc difference in the two routes from a scenic standpoint. On the Gallup
 route the road crosses portion o1 the Painted Desert and for the great. CT part bordered on either side by weird sandstone formations. On the
 Springerville route, the Petrified For
 ests are passed through. 17 miles

 "No,' she said, q received word from himself."

POLICE WOMEN MAKE
GOOD IN LONDON
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. Is. - After ten
months of trial the higher authorities
of the Metropolitan police have decid-
ed that women police officers have
made good, and the 100 now on duty
will be retained. They must be OF
good education, possessing tact, kindli-
ness and a sympathetic nature, willing
to work seven hours a day for $40 a
week and be ready at all times for
duty.
The force was recruited from the
patrol workers of the National Union
of Women Workers employed by the
commissioner in 1916 to aid in the pro-
lection of the city. They did excellent
work, but last November it was felt
that the pressing need for them had
passed, and they were disbahded.
The cessation of hostilities, how
ever, brought thousands of young Of
ficers from the fighting front to Lon
don, and the fear that an orgie of
dissipation might follow the rigors of
life in the trenches induced the police
to retain 100 picked women for duty
in the night life sections.
Their work was preventive in a
large measure, particular attention be-
ing devoted to young girls who might
be attracted to such places. So we'll
did they carry out the plan that their
permanent worth has now been recog
nized
Three police women may be seen
any night in the West End, covering
regular beats near the theatres and
hotels in pairs, dressed in navy blue
with a business-like cup and regula
ton whistle. They work under the di
rection of woman chief whose head
quarters are in Scotland Yard. " a
woman is accosted by some man who
does not know her she can cause his
arrest by appealing to the woma Off
Ger, and it frequently happens arrests
are made without complaint.
All women applicants for the force
are trained for eight weeks in the
regular duties Of a policeman, but they
are not sworn in as constables, and
they are only liable for such duty as
the commissioner may direct.
"All our women are most carefully
chosen" said their chief, Mrs. Stanley
but we have no place for the 'prude
or the prowl'"
