The maniac gripped her by the
throat, but she fought him off with
all the strength born of sudden fear
and desperation.
Miss Fowler is slightly deaf and
although she remembers that the
man kept saying things into her ear,
she could not understand a word he
said. This is what probably saved
her from destruction, because she
continued to yell until other roomers,

to her assistance.

Before daylight the police were

the madman proceeded from house
to house. They had no sooner ar

trail, than a call summoned them to
another house in another direction.
In each instance the assassin left
leaving not a single clue on which
the officers could work. Nothing
could be done but notify each pre-
cinct and every city and town within
a radius of fifty miles to be on the
watch.
In each case the mailman made his
entrance into homes and residences

exclaimed Miss Margaret and rushed
into the room. At that moment
there was the report of a pistol.
As Miss Martha screamed, the as
sailant had put one hand over her
mouth, and with the other had
reached into his coat pocket and,
drawing a revolver, fired at close
range into the woman's abdomen.
The shot burned the bedclothes and
started a blaze.

he made his wild flight through

With equal uncanny luck, as
though guided by some diabolical
power, he entered strange houses

Martha Geagan, a sister, was awak-

of a match being struck. She called
out sleepily:
"Who is it,"
"It's me-" came a mans voice in

Giving up hope of subduing the
woman with his bare hands, the
maniac pulled his revolver, the

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
The League of Nations

To the Editor of the Arizona Repub-
 lican:
 We must have a league of nations, it is inconceivable that the world war should pass without civilization reap ing it's due reward.
 The objections put forward by the little Americans, why America should not join the league of nations, fail to carry convictions, and, most impor- tant of all, they offer no satisfactory alternative, no preventative for those destructive wars that have cursed this world for thousands of years. Amer ica's only safeguard against future wars is to ally herself with the other great nations of the world in a final effort to annihilate war itself. Some doubling pessimist argues that other leagues to prevent war have failed, and therefore this league will fail. Such an argument emanates from ignorance and lack of vision. There is not sin gle grand achievement in the history of the world that is not built on repeated failures. Remember that the same generation that laughed in scorn at Christopher Columbus when he told his people there was a new continent in the west cheered him to the echo when he discovered America. The surest pledge of the success of the league of nations idea is found in the fact that if has been the dream of humanity for two thousand years. The league is the development of our idea nearest the heart of every civilized people. The | present league of nations was fairly and amply tested in the fight against the central powers. It is the most powerful material and moral force

MESA TEACHERS THINK RAISE |S INSUFFICIENT

MESA, Oct. 19.-The teachers of the Mesa schools are not content with the raise of $5 per month granted to those who heretofore have been receiving less than a certain figure When the present instructors were employed, a raise of s1O per month was made over last years salaries, and the recent ac- tion of the board in granting yet an- other increase was in order to keep step with the high cost of living. However, at a meeting held the past week in the Guild hall and at which a considerable number of the teachers were present, it was stated that Mesa had for some years been paying less than other towns in the state, and that other places in the valley had made much more substantial increase in the wages of the teachers, leaving Mesa still well to the rear, and that the salaries received for but nine months of the year are not propor- tioned to the heavy cost of the neces- sities of life.
 No definite action was taken, though it is probable that they will present their view of the matter to the school | board.

ANCIENT RIVALS. RENEW FOOTBALL
 WARS SATURDAY

Rivals in more than a dozen histori cal gridiron battles will renew their struggles for athletic supremacy Sat urday, when the Coyote squad clashes with the warriors representing the In dian school in the first of a two-game series. The game will probably be played at the Indian school field, all though final plans had not been com pleted last night.
 Few local sporting events are more heartily received in this city than the annual gridiron clashes between the redskins of the government training station and their pale-faced brothers of Phoenix Union high. Rivalry of the keenest sort exists between these in stitutions-rivalry almost as keen as that manifest between the redskins and palefaces in the early frontier days. In fact, it is a rivalry handed dcwn from father to son through the generations.
 Although there is comparatively lit tie on which to base a dope sheet for the coming game, the Coyotes seem to have slight advantage over the Indi- ans. For example, the U. of A. team defeated the Tempe Normal squad by 53 to 0. Then Coach Geary's men trounced the Normals 45 to 3. The h. dians were defeated by the U. of A. players by a score of 50 to O. so from these relative sources it looks as if the Indians might be in for a good trounc ing when the teams clash Saturday afternoon.
 But dope" is always being reversed on the football field, where heroes champions and what not are most likely to fall when a fall is the least expected. The uncertainty of the game is what makes football one oi the most alluring of all outdoor sports It is not always the best team that wins.
 But against the Coyotes, the Indians will present their most formidable lineup. And they will exert about 3O( per cent of their energy in an effor- toturn the tide of victory in their favor | The same holds true with the Co. votes, who will put forth their bes efforts in an endeavor to make tn, victory complete.
 Two games have been scheduled be. tween these teams this season, the on, scheduled for Saturday and the annua l Thanksgiving day clash, which vii probably be played on the new higl school athletic field this season.

PETER IS BUSTED WITH
 PATTY
By The Story Lady

The Sunday School the Planners went to, was going to give program to get money to buy little red chairs for the primary class.
 Patty and Prissy were going to sing a song with their class and Mamma tried to drill them at home. Prissy had a sweet little voice and was soon singing Jesus loves me" very pret- tily but Patty, who couldn't sing much, wouldn't try. She didn't want to go on the platform, but Prissy refused to go without her, so she finally consented.
 The night of the program Baby Paul had a cold and Mamma wouldn't leave him but she dressed the twins in pretty white dresses with white shoes and stockings and big blue sashes and big bows of blue ribbon on their hair and Papa took Peter and the girls to the church.
 The program wasn't very long and Mamma was waiting for them when they came back. Papa looked very much amused and Peter looked mad.
 Mamma put the tired twins to bed and came down to see what it was all about.
 Every one laughed at Patty" said Peter, and she didn't even know it. She tried to sing this evening and in- stead of singing, Jesus loves me- she sang at the top of her voice, Jesus loves Mamma
 Don't you sec" explained Papa, when you were teaching it to her when you said me she thought you l meant it. And son, don't you ever | tell her about it. It would break her l heart"
 | Well, 1 won't. But the next time Patty Palmer tries to sing I'm going to stay home.'

Every end must possess the ability to sprint down the field unchecked and never overrun his man or let him get to the outside. He should be a deadly tackler and a strong fighter of inter ference. He should never be drawn in under any condition and should keep his eyes on the runner while fighting the interference. He should draw in reference out toward the side, but still keep his feet so that the runner cannot shoot in. He should possess the ability to stop runs from the kick formation, to hurry a forward pass and still not be fooled, and he should always be on his feet and should never stand still.
 On attack the end should have the ability to box tackle or if the play re- quires, get to the secondary defense
 On interference, he should never leave his feet, but should tangle up the wouldbe tackler at the right moment and stay with him long enough to let the runner by.
 Much depends upon the ability of the end to jump across the neutral zone and engage an opponent instantly

with body and thighs, then keep him going.
 The end must also be able to take any kind of forward passing and from any position. He must learn how to criss- cross and thus give his man catching a punt a splendid opportu- nity for run back. He should learn and practice keeping a man off when he has gone down the field and has slowed up ready to tackle the catcher of the punt. He should learn the use of both hands on man, trying to block him in going down the field. 1t ought to be perfectly possible for the end to get by any man who cannot use his hands or arms. He should also learn to use the arm as guard against the straight arm when he is tackling a runner who is running back a kick or making a run from kick formation. He should be by all means the fast est man on the team On end runs not around his end, he should follow on around or go through to get one of the secondary defense.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
 HAIR ID ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old-time Recipe That Anybody Can Ap- ply

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its nat ural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addi- ton of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp on a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two if becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
