Good Looks by Study.

The Cri de Paris, the weekly Cos

liam Orpen, the painter, who is still
working on pictures of the peace con-
ference was haunted by the idea, when
he was young, that he was very ugly.
He used to turn his face aside in
the street TO avoid being seen.
Working as an art student, he no.
tlced that his fellow-pupils. by dnt
of mental concentration upon the beau
tiful models of antiquity, gradually
came somewhat to resemble then In
their own features. Orpen eagerly
awaited promotion to the same class,
and determined to spend all his time
copying the Venus de Milo. Il shall
thus acquire her admirable expression
of naughty serenity" he said. "Un-
fortunately" he continues. 'when |
was promoted to copying antiquity my
master made me spend the whole year
drawing nothing but The Dancing
Faun,' so that l never realized my am

CITY PLANNING ID BE
 DISCUSSED AT JOINT
 MEETING PROPOSED

With the county supervisors of Mari Copa county and the city commission Of Phoenix considering the advisability of erecting a combined court house and city hall, and the board of trustees of the high school proposing extensive additions to the high schools, the ques- ton of city planning by an expert again has been taken up by the Phoenix chamber of commerce.
 In a communication to the city man. ager and the members of the city com- mission the chamber of comerce sug- sests a conference to consider such plan. The communication is as fol- lows:
 The directors of the chamber of com merce have considered very carefully the advisability of inviting to Phoenix city planning expert and engineer with view to having such a plan laid out for all time for this city.
 With this thought in mind the di- rectors recommend that the city com mission invite the board of supervisors to appoint a representative the boards of trustees of the high and grammar schools also to appoint representatives, and other persons and individuals in- terested to be present at @ conference when the question of a city plan could Dt COuolucitu by yOuI uOIOloDlb bOuyf and some line of action determined upon.
 The directors believe that the pres ent is the most opportune time in the history of the city, that we are facing an era of develoment the bigness and importance of which is not fully re- alized, and that the value of a city plan, once it is secured, to the city will be appreciated fully and will be of untold benefit in a great many ways.
 We are sure that this movement will have the endorsement and support of all civic and other bodies, which have the interests of the city at heart. The Woman's club, we know, can be count cd upon for full cooperation. as well as the parks board of the city and others.
 We would further respectfully rec ommend that this conference be called at as early a date as is practicable.

FRUGAL MEAL COSTS
 YOUNG MAN S200

What is believed to be the highest price ever paid for a supper in Phoenix will be that paid by Sheldon Hicks who was presented with a bill of S200 yes terday.
 Hicks, who had no guests. did not dine sumptuously. All he chose for his solitary meal was one cracker, a piece of cheese and two bananas. It was not wine that ran up the bill. for all Hicks drank was @ bottle of soda pop.
 Hicks told Judge Stanford that he was hungry when he entered the Ari- zona Grocery and helped himself to the food. He said he had no intention of burglarizing the place.
 The court placed the boy in the cus- tody of the probation officer and or dered the boy to pay S30 a month to the court until he had paid the amount of the s200 fine. In addition he will be compelled to pay the damage to the grocery store which consists of repair ing chair.

ALL PHOENIX IN MONDAY ID RUN
 BY NEW T|NE

Beginning Monday morning. for the first time since the government day light saving plan has been in effect this year, all Phoenix will observe the same time.
 There will be no "old" 'time to be confused with new" time as has been the case for the past week, and the clock in the court house tower will reg ister the same time as the rest of the clocks and watches of the city.
 After passing a resolution declaring that 'oid' time would be observed by the official county family, which in cluded the superior courts, the board of supervisors yesterday met again and day morning all offices in the court house will open in accordance with the time announced by congress.
 Judge Stanford has announced that his court will openet 9;5O o'clock Mon day morning as usual, but Judge Ly- man stated yesterday that his branch of the superior court would, during the summer months, open at 10 o'clock and close at o'clock. all according to the new" time
 County Hangs Out Longest
 The supervisors of the county was not the only board that declined at first to regulate their official business ac- cording to the new" time. The city commissioners also took that stand when the time came last Sunday morn- ing to make the change to new time. They stated that the city would con tinue on "old" time.
 Both the high school and the grade schools, in an effort to run on the same time as the city and county and also to accommodate many patrons who had written to the trustees protesting against the adoption of the new time. chung to the "old" time. The result was confusion that increased day by day. The schools finally swung into line and then the city. With the ac ton yesterday of the county, all Phoe- nix on Monday morning will be regulat- ing it's actions according to the same time.
