TWO ARTISTS ARRIVE
FOR JOINT RECITAL
IN PHOENIX TONIGHT

Lambert Murphy and Merle Alcock
arrived in the city last night, having
sung in joint recital in Tucson the
night before. Their recital tonight at
the high school auditorium will begin
at Sis o'clock and it has been an
nounced that the doors will be closed
between numbers.
Miss Cordelia Hulburd, president of
the Musical Events club, under whose
auspices tonight's recital is being
given, stated last night that a radical
reversal of the clubs policy in the mat
ter Of the sale of season tickets has
been made necessary.
The original intention of the club was
to sell only season tickets at IS each,
these admitting to the five events
scheduled for the season. By virtue of
the decision reached at a meeting yes
terday, however, single admittance
tickets viii be placed on sale for each
event, at 81 each, plus a war tax of
20 cents.
Both season tickets at S. and single
admittance tickets at 1920 viii be on
sale at the doors of the auditorium to-
night, 1t was announced.
1t is evident from this arrangement
that 1t is much cheaper for anyone who
contemplates attending more than two
events of the series to buy a season
ticket at IS, which is free from war
tax and entities the holder to mem
bership in the club as well.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
WARNS SUPERVISORS,
OF RESPONSIBILITY

Vast responsibilities" have suddenly
descended upon the shoulders OF the
county supervisors of the state, accord
ing to an opinion made public yes
terday by Attorney General Jones. A
circular letter was mailed yesterday to
ever board of supervisors in Arizona
calling their attention to the care with
which each expenditure small and large
should be scrutinized.
you cannot be too vigilant," says
the letter. Expenditures, too, must be
honest, says the attorney general
There must be no doubt of their hon.
esty, and above all, especial vigilance
must be used against graft and padded
payrolls.
Why the sudden warning has been
sent out to all supervisors is unknown.
So far as it could be learned yester-
day there has been no intimation that
padded payrolls were being used.
The letter quoted the entire law re-
garding the paying out of money, and
ending with the following solemn
warning:
Vast responsibilities devolve upon
the boards of supervisors in protecting
the enormous fund of state money to
be expended in state highway con-
struction. You cannot be too vigilant.
You must guard against graft and
padded payrolls and scan every item of
expenditure and approve no item until
you are absolutely sure it is correct
and that it is an honest expenditure.
You are chosen by the people of your
county and charged with a financial
responsibility which wou cannot evade
and 1 am sure 1 voice your sentiments
in calling your attention to the gravity
of your duty. The people of Arizona

Carson to assist him in the case.
An autopsy was performed at the
J. I. Whitney undertaking parlors, 10
which place the body had been re-
moved. to determine whether Patter
sons death was brought about by gun
shot wounds or the ravages of the dis
sase from which he was suffering.
Inquest proceedings began in Judge
Wheeler's courtroom shortly before 4
o'clock. and at o'clock the eoroner's
Jury returned a verdict of death as
the result of a complication of dis

HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES

The first game Of the season for the
valley championship will be played to-
day between the Tempe Normal ana
the Phoenix high school. The contest
will take place nthe new athletic field
at the corner of Polk and Ninth streets.
This game will be a fast contest be-
tween two very evenly matched teams,
Both teams will fight hard to win be-
cause the loser of today's game Will
practically be eliminated from any fur
the field today, as he has changed
ship. Coach Geary will have an EN-
tirely different team to run out upon
the fiel dtoday, as he has changed
quite a few of the men around.
The assembly yesterday was a real
assembly. 1t was featured by talks
from Professor Jantzen, Coach Geary,
Lieutenant Carpenter and Athletic Di
rector Ogg. Two interesting songs were
sung by the colored quartet, who APP
peared last evening at the high school
auditorium in the second of the Ivy
lectures courses.
Coach Geary, in the assembly yester
day, urged the students to ''stay back
of the ropes" Il will be a very good
| idea to bear this in mind, as there will
be Gordon of military police around
the gridiron, who will, if necessary, put
any over-eager person back.
The freshman class wins the silver
loving cup Offered by Mr.. Geary for
selling the largest number of season
| tickets. The first-year students have
| by far sold more tickets than any
other class. This comes as a surprise
to the other classes. They had figured
that the freshmen didn't have a show,
and that the contest would be won by
one of them. Jimmie Miller won the
medal for selling more tickets than
any other individual The medal viii
be given by Mr.. Ogg. Miller sold over
so season tickets.

Jane felt that he was quite capable of

He was to escape, but it was to be

with a trousered effect, for the Orien-
tai has not departed from French or
American clothes. The overskirt is of
black lace, which extends into a cape
over the shoulders, half covering
sleeves of black tulle, finished with
lace ruffles at the wrist.
The wristlet idea is strongly fea-
tured in the new clothes and most of
the women wear sleeves that are tight
at the hands, with ribbon, or chiffon, or
glittering beads.
The remarkable feature about this
frock is that Bulloz embroiders the
black lace overskirt with red and green
chenille flowers. 1t is not possible to
do this in an amateur way and carry
it off; it is too daring; but as there is
so much of it in evidence this season.
it is well for women to know what
they are to contend with in the new
fashions and how they are to make
them wearable when they seem ex-
treme.
BY the way, the sash OF black satin
which is tied at the front of the hip
in this gown is one of the popular
methods of giving outstanding drapery
to the side of the skirt.

Black lace showed every evidence OF
strong popularity in Paris during
the autumn ard it will be featured
by Americans for evening gowns.
Paris. october S.-The French de-
signers intend to make black lace an
alluring part of an afternoon gown.
Nine. Renee, who named gown after
herself and sold it to a large NUMBER
of American buyers put black Cham
tilly lace ruffle on black and blue
chiffon tunic which constituted gcNS
that could be worn from the lunch
hour to midnight, with or without a
hat.
The tunic of this gown had blue
pastilles pasted on it, which is new
form of adornment that America has
not seen and that France likes. In
stead of expensive embroidery, the de-
signers use colored pastilles in thin
velvet, oft velours, or even satin and
chiffon; these are arranged in rows
or circles or merely placed close to-
gether to hide the foundation.
Doucet created an admirable after
noon gown in black velvet with threads
of tiny blue-black sequins arranged on
two panels that fell from collar bone
to knees He then introduced the cas-
cades of. black Chantilly lace at the
open sides.
Bulloz used black lace wherever he
found it attractive. He does not hest
tate to use any material he wishes
for any hour of the day. caring nothing
for the tradition that governs fabrics.
TOWARD AFTERNOON GOWNS
The Paris woman has worn a
strickly tailored suit or a simple
chemise frock for four years, but she
appears to be tired of both these cos
tunes and is making a strong effort
for the revival of brilliant and seduc-
IL 11y
says that the American tailored suit is
boring her. She wore it during the war
years because it was necessary, suit
able and dignified but now she wants
to get back to her own seductive and
frivolous way of dressing for the early
afternoon hours.
She leads the kind Of life that de-
mands such clothes, whereas the Am
orleans as rule is in the open until
time to dress for dinner. The Euro
pean spends her afternoons in the
house with tea, music, receptions or
dancing-usually dancing this year in
Paris. She therefore welcomes the in
PRODUCTION of afternoon frocks that cost
more than her evening ones. Whether
or not the American will follow her in
this fashion remains to be seen.
THE TRANSPARENT FROCK
The American woman does not OBJ
ject to the transparent frock in the
afternoon, if she can only find an oc-
~casion to wear it, but as these oppor-
tunities are rare except among the set
who play cards, she is notAover anxious
to put a large part of her dress income
into frock that gives little service.
If, however, she can secure a gown
that will serve for both afternoon and
evening, she is happy; and that is
just how the new type of afternoon
frock wins it's appeal. 1t is trans
parent it is fragil, it carries a hat; and
by these same tokens it can be made
to serve for the gay hours of the aver
age woman's life.
Bulloz makes such a gown of black
lace, tulle and satin. 1t is a bit orn-
ate, but we must become accustomed
to the fact that we have departed
from wartime severity and that there
is a tendency to overdo clothes.
The skirt of this frock is black satin,

THE HOUSEHOLD
ABOUT SILK STOCKINGS

If you haven't time to take care Of
silk stockings-and haven't a maid to
do those things for you-well, then the
best thing to do is to wear cotton
stockings. Because silk hose simply
needs careful attention. and no matter
how well it is made or of how choice
silk it will wear out if sarelessly used
and no manufacturers guarantee will
save it.
The whole point is that silk stock
ings ought never to be worn more than
once between washings. They ought
never to be worn when they are dusty
Grand this is more important-they
ought never to be permitted to lie with
the moisture from the feet still in
them. So it is not enough to put them
on fresh every time you wear them, but
Il you want them to live long useful
lives you should rinse them out very
soon after you have taken them off.
Perhaps you do not care to do this. But
if you do not, then do not complain
about the quality silk stockings you
have bought.
Manufacturers of silk stockings say
that the leather stain rots stockings as
much as perspiration. That is another
reason why they should be rinsed out
