Arizona republican., 1919-10-01

The football men met at the high school last night at o'clock for the first meeting of its kind this year. In- side football was discussed and sig- nals given out.
 Coaches Geary and Venne, old time rivals, told how they used to beat each other, their tales of friendly rivalry lending inspiration to the new recruits who attended the meeting.
 After an arduous search a place was secured for the band to practice at Fourth and Van Buren streets. With 40 musicians under the able leadership of Venne, the band promises to be one of the best the school has ever had.
 The work of fifty men who turned out for football practice indicated P. H. s. is going to have an excellent chance to capture the championship again this season.
 If present arrangements are car ried through, the high school football team may get post season game with the champions of California.
 Things are quiet around the campus these days. No more social gatherings in the cars around by the third build ing-no more tea parties around the Waldorf Astorial Why? Ask the M. P.
 The first game, that with the alumni. is set for October Il. The alumni are out of luck this time be- cause P. H. $. is due for a win from them.
 This makes about the 'steenth year Professor Michaels has been out tc watch the fellows practice. He says the team is just a little lighter this year. but far faster than any team oi previous years.
 High school students watch the Re. publican for an interesting little con- test to take place soon. Particulars will be given later.
 The art department is growing great this year. From the size of the classes the annual and the Coyote Journa won't lack for art work. Mrs. Perkins has been at the head of this depart ment for several years, and the sue. cess of the schools papers are largely due to her efforts.

VETERAN
 ARRIVES TO INSTALL
 DETECTIVES BUREAU

Jonn V. Grfffis. veteran of five years ol campaigning in the Philippines, both ~ a private in l. company of the third uattaAion of engineers and as an of- .icer or the Philippine constabulary, is 0penlng an office today at 24 East "asnington street which will be known Ss the Merchants Protective Detective bureau.
 This bureau, which will eventually become the central office of a chain to extend throughout the state, is de- Agned ito catch inside jobs before the crimes are committed" according to Grirfis. Educated and refined oper- auVes, both men and women, will be employed. All will be bonded and their Identity will be unknown to any per- son but the chief of the bureau and the merchants who employ them.
 MT. Griffis is man of wide ex- perlence in the handling of detective work. Going first to the Philippines Tn 1914 as an enlisted man in the engi- neer corps of the United States army. ne spent the first year of his stay in me islands on the island fortress of Corregidor. Tn 1915 he entered tht famous Philippine constabulary as a third lieutenant, rising to the rank of first lieutenant before he left the ser vice in April, 1917.
 Most of this time was spent in out lying fastnesses of the islands, such as Jolo, 700 miles from Manila and but IS or 20 miles from the island of Bor- neo. In this island he encountered nothing but the widest of tribes and had but very few white men as his companions.
 Mir. Griffis then entered the secret service of the Philippine territorial government. and during the war was a captain in the sixth infantry, Philip pine national guard, which was feder- alized and placed in the service of Uncle Sam during the war. At it's close he entered the military intelligence de- partment as a civilian and then re- turned to the states to engage in pri- vate detective work in San Francisco
 He brings long record of useful service to his present position and the experience he has had in the islands should be of great value to him here.

Serbia Demands
 Women Doctors

Officials of the Serbian government are asking the American government for medical aid for their country-es- pecially for women physicians.
 The Mohammedan men, whose women folk lead a very secluded life. prefer that they be attended by women doctors equipped with modern medical science but free of masculine charms. The American Womens hospitals have maintained women physicians in Ser oia for two years, many of them hay ing been decorated for bravery in war service. The Serbian Relief committee has just dispatched a unit of four women doctors and a dentist to Serbia. all fianced by the American Women's hospitals and working under their di- rection.

"The stores of Phoenix are just as up- to date as those of the coast and prices here are from 10 to 20 per cent cheaper than there, said Walter Switzer, proprietor of Switzers Style shop last night in speaking of condi- tions he foun1 on a visit to the Los Angeles style shows.
 MT. Switzer probably had an oppor- tunity which every lover of the beau tiful in Phoenix yearned. He received card invitations to the largest fashion shows in Los Angeles. He made a special trip to Los Angeles to be pres ent at the showing in the Hotel Alex andria and at the Unique Cloak and l Suit house, the most exclusive store on the coast.
 l At the Unique he had the privilege of seeing a large number of the latest creations of Harry Collins of New | York, the most exclusive designer in | the east. He could not attend, but sent Mrs. Collins to the coast with six models and seven trunks filled with dainty wearing apparel.
 At the Hotel Alexandria show, Pauline Fredericks, Blanche Sweet, Mrs. Charles Chaplin and numerous other stars of the screen were present to purchase. Mrs. Chaplin invested heavily. Miss Sweet bought clothes to the amount of s4,300 and Miss Fred. | ericks purchased one gown valued al $1 300
 It was MT. Switzer's privilege to be able to obtain large number of the gowns shown. He has brought them to Phoenix and starting tomorrow morning, he will have a special show ing of the gowns he secured at the Alexandria show.
 l MT. Switzer stated last night that { he had discovered that it is the woman from the coast who is the largest buyer in Phoenix. She has discovered that prices are far cheaper here and has
 consequently delayed her purchase until she has reached home.

THOUGHTFUL THIEVES
 EXPECT HARD WINTER

Burglars who entered the home of Mrs. Welsh 340 West Portland avenue Monday night evidently anticipate a severe winter. They helped themselves to generous supply of heavy blankets, sheets, and comforts, totally ignoring the silverware and jewelry in the home at the time.
 Mrs. Welsh estimated her loss at about s75. The burglars secured en- trance to the home by cutting the screen door and inserting a pass key in the second door.
 War profiteering has brought a re- sumption of the practice of buying women in India and fancy prices are paid by the new rich for good looking girls.

quested Attorney General William

the machine gun bullet. On the march
one day Mr. Fahlgren felt a sharp

A letter written by Roy M. Halliday

cessful one in spite of the disagreeable
weather which intervened

Legion Hall yesterday at 2 P. NJ, the
parade, which was to take place at
P, NJ. and led by the Washburn Band
had to be postponed on account Of the he

some disappointment to both the boys
and everyone else.
At $50 P. M. over one hundred
couples assembled in line at the Ban
auet Hall
Three tables each extending the
length of the hall were crowded and
thoughtfully decorated with large
bouquets of Astors, while the large
Service Flag made most suitable and
pleasing background in the Banquet
Hall.
Amost proper and fitting address OF
welcome was given by Hon. John E.
williams to the Soldier Boys and Sail
.ors. followed by most interesting
response by Hugh H. McCulloch.
Karl Klein told of the good work
done through the Victory Liberty Loan
and Professor Thompson gave a vivid
and realistic description of the bar
rage seen from his point of view.
Mrs. J. T. McCulloch spoke in very
interesting and conscientious manner
of the good and great work which has
been carried on by the Red Cross and
the Mothers at home.
Lieut.. Homer Wallin gave an inter
esting speech and mentioned >the fact
that his old friends were the best
friends and how good it seemed to
come back to them again and renew
old ,acouaintances. His listeners ap-
