the edges the same way. Cut the notches for the string about half an inch from the ends and you've got your bow.
 For arrows, any small sprouts or limbs about the size of a lead pencil will do, have them clear of knots. Peel off the bark and cut them half the length of your bow. Cut the string notch in the smallest end, and straighten them by bending them this way and that way in your hands. For your bowstrings, any good strong twine or fishing line will do. Tie one end of it around one end of the bow in the notch, tight. Now stretch the string along the bow, tie a loop in it that will not slip, so that the end of the loop will be about two inches shorter than the bow. Now put the end the string is tied to on the ground, take the other end in your left hand, the loop of the string in the right hand Place your right knee in the middle of the flat side of the bow and press your knee hard enough against the bow so as to bend it, and put the loop over the end into the notch. Now you are all ready to be- gin shooting.

SUDDEN RAIN SENDS CROWDS SQUIRTING
 AND DOES DAMAGE

Rain, whether it was needed or not, and there seems to be some question on the matter. swooped down on the city and suburbs last night about 10 o'clock, and succeeded in doing consid- erable damage before it decided to move on.
 The first intimation the usual Satur- day night crowd had that a wettine was imminent was a well developed aust storm. Dust enwrapped every thing in sight and sent every one either scurrying home or headed for the near est shelter.
 Following the high wind, which did considerable damage one of the heav- lest rains of the season swept across the city. At Riverside park the down. fall was so heavy it went into the open air dance hall and succeeded in wet ting practically every one on the floor
 The huge sign on top of the Boston store, advertising an unloading sale, decided it was time to unload and was so successful in it's attempt that h ended up its delirious career beside the Franklin hotel across the street The sign is a total loss.
 A large plate glass window valued at about $15O at the Arizona Title Guaranty and Trust company at I34 West Washington street, was blown in. There was no insurance, the loss being complete.
 The wind also succeeded in taking out the props of an awning at 138 West Washington street to such an extent that about 16 feet of the awning de- scended on a crowd of people which it was sheltering. No one was hurt.
 The rain and wind was practically local in it's nature. At the Indian school, north of the city, there was very little wind and a bare sprinkling of rain.

 SEEKS DIVORCE - Belle Evans yesterday filed suit in superior court for a divorce from her husband, Cole Evans, who is known to fame as an in- corrigible bootlegger of a year or more ago. He was arrested several times and was finally sent to jail. One of the grounds of plaintiffs suit is that she has not heard from him and does
 not know where he is. The county au- thorities on the same ground might sue him for a divorce. Neither have ] they heard from him since he escaped ! from a road camp and they do not 1 know where he is.

ALTERATIONS WILL MAKE GOLDNETER'S
 BEST IN DISTRICT

Alterations are under way that will make Goldwater's one of the finest stores in the southwest, according to William Kerr, the designing architect in charge of the alterations. Kerr is the man who designed and installed the interior arrangements in Bullocks, Robinson's, the Broadway. and nu- merous other among the highest class and biggest department stores in Los Angeles.
 The front show windows are being altered into an arcade display front with 230 feet of plate glass and four entrances, as compared to the present front of 20 feet of glass and one en- trance. The vestibue and corridors will be floored with marble and mar quette of metal and glass will be built across the sidewalk over the main entrance.
 The greatly enlarged front display windows will be arranged so that pros pective customers can go entirely in- side, out of the heat of summer or the winter rains, and look over the dis plays in absolute comfort. The win dows will be finished in ivory tint and ornamental plaster. with a con- cealed indirect lighting system.
 Inside the store everything will be rearranged and worked over into the most modern merchandising plant it is possible to build. The first floor will be of noiseless and dustless compo- sition, and a mezzanine floor con- structed entirely around the main floor and over thhe display windows.
 On this mezzanine floor will be the main offices, the shoe, art goods and boys wear departments. Pneumatic tubes will be put in to handle orders and cash, complete itnercommuni- eating telephone system installed, new stairs and elevators installed to serve all floors.
 The second floor will be carpeted with high grade rugs, and a comfort ] able and commodious retiring and rest room for ladies installed. The depart ments of infants wear, undermuslins i and corsets will be on this floor.

Of the kiowa Indian Tribe

Of the kioWa Indian Tribe
 Why! hullo boys. going out into the woods Show you how to make a bow and arrows, you say. Why, of course I will, and just like we Indian boys used to make them. Sit right down here and I'll show you so that you can have them right away-and that reminds me. Big Bow was my adopted fathers name-Ziepkhoeet in the Indian language. He got his name be- cause he used a very large bow. He was so strong that he could shoot an arrow more than three hundred steps of a man; and many times he was known to ride up to the side of a buffalo and shoot an arrow clear through it so that the point would stick out on the other side. But as l was saying, for your bow most any kind of wood will do. Cherry osage orange, but second growth hickory will make the best, I think. Cut a sappling about the size of your wrist, cut off a piece of it about two- thirds as long as you are, and split it in the middle. Now, on the flat side com mence at the center as the handle. Do

THE NEW BUDDHISM
(From the Christian Herald)

Yananaka was strong Buddhist and a leader in the movement to revive and reform Buddhism and establish it as a bulwark against the rapid en-
 croachment of Christianity. He de-
 cided an excellent way to do this was to fourd' high school for girls which would te more attractive than the Christian women's. So he erected fine buildings and installed modern meth ods. He hired good teachers. All the parapbernalia of the best western schools was taken over. In fact, the curriculum was about as close as it could be to that of the Christian school

THE NEXT REFORM

 A constitutional amendment that would prevent divorce in one state from resulting in bigamy or adultery in some or all of the others would seem quite as imperative as the dethronment of John Barleycorn.

The Princess OF Passion
Men Were Inaamed By Her Allurine
q Beauty

The most beautifully wicked woman Of all
time! Such is the verdict which history has
passed upon Salome. Like the sirens Of ancient
writ, she used her beauty to lure men to their
destruction. To love her was to lose all honor,
all virtue, all moral strength.
Sejanus loved her, and in hopeless despair
at her cruel duplicity, took his own life. Herod
loved her, and yielding to her sensuous entice-
ments, was transformed from King to mon
ster Of evil. Only one man resisted her passion
ate appeal John the Baptist and John the
Baptist was beheaded!

bends her victims to her will. Her face

SURPLUS FUNDS MAY
MAINTAIN AIR SERVICE

! WASHINGTON. July 26.-Members
I of the senate military committee to-
day suggested to Secretary Baker and
Chief of Staff March the possibility of
saving the army air service by using
funds from a large unexpended bal
ance of the war department Baker
said he would ascertain whether a con-
gressional resolution would allow such
funds to be used thus.
Baker and March appeared before
the committee regarding a bill pro-
Viding $500 temporary officers needed
to keep the corps running under the
reduced army program which con-
gress authorized. March declared
congress had ordered the department
to continue the air service and other
corps, but had absolutely failed to
provide officers. Passage of the
pending bill would allow the air ser
vice to operate on a small scale with
about $50 flyers.
March said rehabilitation has
brought the army to about 500, 900
men of whom 100000 are in France
and the remainder in the United
states. He said by September l the
department intends to resume con-
structive work abandoned while de-
mobilization was pushed. All army
schools for training will be reopened
by September.
Baker promised to inquire into a
report that Colonel Dodds formerly
of the air service had been reinstated
in the army. Dodds left the service
after Charles f. Hughes investiga-
tion.
