Last Day of Mickey

Phoenicians will have their last op- portunity of seeing Mickey" Mack Sennett's greatest photoplay spectacle, at the Columbia tbeater today. This beautiful story of a mountain waif who like a wild flower grew, is one of the prettiest character studies ever DOT trayed upon any screen.
 Mickey herself, for example, is character that will live forever in the memory of those who have seen the picture. Then there is Minnie-ha-h herself, a real Indian character who plays the part of Mickey's foster moth CT. Minnie -ha-ha is her real honest to-goodness name and she is unques- tionably the greatest Indian performer that has ever appeared in any screen production. Mickey's father is also a character study well worth seeing.
 More action and good red blooded thrills have been crowded into this spectacle than any super production of the past few years. The horse race, filmed at the Arizona state fair grounds in 1917, is one of the most thrilling bits of photoplay that has ever been brought to the screen. The fight with

Matinee at Elks Today

Straight from the Heart is deci- dedly a play that appeals to the gentler sex, as it has to do with love and the plucky fight put up by trio of young girls to ward off the falling into bank ruptcy by the firm where they are en- ployed, and in this they are aided by the wandered who comes at the critical moment and through his quick wit and happy smile turns the blue-haZe which surrounds the establishment into one of a rosey hue; all making most appealing as well as collaborating story. As presented by the ever popular Ed Redmond Follies at the Elks theater this week it has been meeting with wide favor. A matinee performance will be given this afternoon and the play will be staged again tonight, to- morrow evening and also tomorrow afternoon for the last times.
 The melody numbers in the current production of Straight from the Heart are especially attractive, con taining among them, Robbie Deane singing of "Shimrnie Sha Wabble" in which number the choristers interpo- late New York's latest dance craze, the Lurumba Shiver. Marvin Hammond singing of Mickey is repeatedly en- cored as is Joe Kemper's "A Long Way to Home Sweet Home" and Orviile Harris singing 'In the Land of Begin ming Again

 OPEN WITH CONTEST

This is the day. and Riverside is the place, that all of juvenile Phoenix and more than two-thirds of the groTn-ups have been asking about for the past two weeks.
 The opening date has taken prece- dent over most every local topic of in terest inn the time intervening since Richards and Mace bought the play rounds and started to get the park in shape fo rthe season of 1913.
 Much has been written on the many improvements that have been made at the park but perhaps the one mat is ot most interest to all the valley is the learjng Of the water in the pool.
 Strange as it may seem with the long hot summer to combat the water at Riverside coming from a deep we'll was always tco cool for most bathers and when the new firm announced that they had perfected plan Jo neat the water interest centered again in the bis pool
 Yesterday Professor Cahiu. who is to take charge of the swimming tank tested the water which was tempered with just one-fifth warm water and it was found to be 78. considered by ex- perts to be almost the perfect temper ature for good bathing.
 1 Last year the water was near 62 all summer and the contrast this year was very noticeable yesterday waen several 1 ladies were permitted to try out the ! pool in advance of the opening date.
 The card today includes the judging Of the bathing girl contest at 2:50 when Mrs. Tom Campbell wife or the gov ! ernor, Mrs. P. K. Lewis, Judge c. De- ] Sales Wheeler and Mayor Corpslein will award the four prizes TOT the most attractive bathing suits originated in l Phoenix after the contestants parade the city Immediately following the contest at the dance pavilion the mo- toreycle devotees will journey to the sand lot back of the big pooi to see the first sand endurance race or the year. Two prizes will be awarded for the best two tests.
 Dancing will start at D. m. when the sonny Clay Jazz orchestra will supply the incentive for nimble feet on the best floor in Arizona.

FEDERATED CITIZENS TO
ASK CONGRESS TO FORCE
MERGER OF CAR LINES

The Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations will ask Congress to
straiGhten out the local street car sit
uation by consolidating the two roads
and fixing an equitable straight fare.
according to an announcement made
by W. r. Westlake, president OF the
association. today.
We are sending a letter to every
Senator and every Congressman, :"
said Mr.. WestIakr, covering this sit
uatiOn and asking that they straight
en- out the present impossible street
railway situation here by CONSOLIDATE
ing the two roads.
We are perfectly willing to pay
what is a just fare but We do not
think it is possible 20 solve the situa-
ton in its present form. We don't
believe that any equitable situation
could be worked out.
We think it will be necessary to
consolidate the two lines in order to
create a satisfactory situation. We
don't advocate municipal ownership,
but we do advocate much closer con-
troll than We now have, which
amounts practically to the ques-
ton of mere valuation AID revenues.
which amounts practically to the
question OF mere valuation and rev.
enueS.
while the law goes further than
that. these are the only things the
commission has done. At the rate
things have been going, We are likely
to have a 25-cent fare If the company
keeps on requesting raises and the
commission continues granting them
I'VE want something done by which
the people can get decent service. I'M
limited transfers, and a fiat rate. The
public Is surely not satisfied with q
2-cent charge for transfers"

D. C. IS HOGS MAY
CUT LIVING COST

Here's something that may lower
the high cost OF living in the Dis
trict for a little while anyway.
As an experiment. the District gov
eminent sent 1872 young porkers, pig
let's, shoats. little hogs-or whatever
the technical name for them may be
down to the hog farm at Blue Plains
not long ago, and began feeding them
on garbage from Washington. The
menu remained the same frorI day TO
day. 1t was strictly a garbage diet
for the young pigs, and the expert
ment was to see whether pigs would
live and flourish on part of the 1000
pounds a day OF District waste sent
down to the farm.
Evidently the experiment has
proved a huge success The pigs
have beSh fattening at the rate OF
an average of a pound a pig a day.
After being fed for 100 days, the
porkers will be sold, and thereby
hangs the clue to how the high cost
OF living may be brought down. The
sale will take place some time in
September. Morris Hacker, head OF
the street cleaning department.. has
announced.

TO Be PUT ON.
SALE TUESDAY
Army Stores Will Be Offered
Here At Cost Price-0rder
To Be Sent In Today.

Distribution OF surplus army foo
in the District probably will begin
next Tuesday, it was announced by
Commissioner Gardiner today. The
order will be sent in today, and it is
expected the food will be received IN
Washington at the latest on Monica :
and distribution will begin on the fol-
lowing day.
These places have definitely been
named as points of distribution: Fish
market. Southwest, Eastern and West
ern markets.
The Commissioner said today he be-
lieved it would take but one day 20
sell the food in Washington.
The number OF inquiries" said the
Commissioner, Indicates that we viii
sell out on the first day."
To Make No Deliveries.
John McGrath, who is in charge Of
the distribution, wants it made clear
to the citizens of Washington that
food will not be delivered to them at
their homes. Persons must go to the
stations.
Secretary Baker has announced that
army trucks will ship the food from
Baltimore and distribute the carload
t. the various selling points. By using
trucks delay in receiving the groceries
will be avoided. and the extra cost OF
freightage will not be added to the
selling prices.
As the War Camp Community Serv-
ice has offered the use Of its club
houses. rents will be avoided, and the
cost of clerking also will be nil, as
volunteer clerks have been accepted.
e. - =
in rather large packages. However.
it has been said that the housekeeper
will be sold any small portion desired.
The prices asked in the sale. as fixed
by the quartermaster, are found to
be much lower than those charged in
most parts of Washington.
Grocery dealers declare that since
there are many varieties Of canned
goods on the market, and their prices
vary, il is not easy to compare the
prices of the market at present with
those asked for the army food, be-
cause they do not know the grade OF
the food to be offered.
