THE OLD ONES.

And whose finish was never IN doubt

Being dragged from their screaming msmmas,
In dramas with seventy seven my Godsl"
And seventeen hundred "Ahas!
like to see Virtue beat over the head,
For three long and terrible acts
While williams walk round with rubber-heeled tread
Hiding whisky in temperance tracts
like to watch scenes where the dear little child
Is about to be drowned in the dam
while the torrent is raging, and logs running wild,
Are piled in hdeous jam.

Which appears to be toohtul and keen,
As A big bunch of bystsnders looks on with awe,
And no dares stop the machine.

When redskins are out on a bust,
And know that a number of savages bite
To quote old Bill Cody-the dust
These dramas perhaps were trfle uneouth;
They got bit crude now and then,
But they frightened the nights of my vigorous youth,
And fain would behold them again.

REMEMBER WHEN BILL
 SCOFFED OUR ARMY?
CFrom the Detroit News)

The Germans talked war and thought in terms of war as early as 1912, when Mrs. Thomas J. Usher of Detroit spent two years in Germany with her uncle, Dr. Arthur N. Davis, who for fourteen years was the kaiser's dentist.
 When was with my uncle, I often saw the kaiser,' Mrs. Usher says. "On days when the kaiser had an appoint ment with my uncle, the streets around the house would be cleared of traffic for two hours before the kaiser's ar rival and secret service men placed about
 My room was at the front of the house and 1 would watch the approach of the kaiser and his attaches. Usually three motor cars came with him, but when he advanced to the house all at tendants were several yards behind. He came alone, a striking figure resting husband on his sword
 It was the first month of Mrs. Ush- CTS stay in Berlin that she first heard the kaiser talk. It was at the time steel masts were introduced as a fea- ture of the American battleships. When the kaisers opinion of the masts was asked he laughed and said. Well enough for a tea party or as trellis for vines, but for wal" and shrugged his shoulders as though in one gesture he was giving his idea of the American navy in general.

Red Is The Danger Color; It
 EXcites The Mind

Why are the Bolsheviki known as Reds? Why oo all revolutionists in- stinctively wave a red flag? Why red instead of some other colors? A Brit ish scientist explains.
 Red, the danger color, represents mental excitement and unrest. It is the symbol of action-of turmoil
 Jules Cue 'il, color expert of the San Francisco Exposition, proved by tests that red excites the mind. Dr. L. E. Landon went further-discovered that red wallpaper produces nervousness, bad temper ard headache,
 As mad as full Haunted by a red rag"
 Take another color, blue. As peace emerges from war. blue is the smart color for women's garments. The in ternational flag used in relief expedi- tions sent forth by the peace confer ence is blue On a white background.
 "Certainly!" say the scientists. Blue is a pacifying color It repre- sents peace, just as blue wallpaper soothes a fretful mind and jumpy nerves
 What is your favorite color? ?-an i'm portant question, for your taste in col ors reveals 3our real self.
 Green rests the eyes; we use it for eyeshades. Nature employs it extra vasanty-in grass, trees, plants. If you love green, your disposition is con- tented, harmonious, we'll balanced.

Place him in room where he sees naught but purple. Swiftly his stonl- ach revolts. Eventually he goes in sane.
 Yellow makes us calm. satisfied. sluggish.
 Red eXcitas to action, makes one emotional. Scientists even claim that red undershirt increases a work mans energy.
 Plants placed under green glass fade and wither. Under blue glass, they grow rapidly and to exceptional size. So also color affects humans
 What is color, this strange thing that powerfully affects our bodies and finds though it can be neither meas ured nor weighed?
 Color is to light what pitch is to sound.
 The popular idea, that white is merely the absence of all color, is not correct. Newton, made famous by ian apple falling cn his head, proved that white light IS a mixture of all colors. Try his experiment-a ray of white light, thrown through a prism, breaks into it's parts. all colors of tho spectrum.
 Color is Imaginary. Take red cloth. It is not really red. The rcd color comes in the sunlight or other light z and we say the cloth is red. The same light strikes an object that reflects other light ryaves-and that object ap- pears blue, orange, green. etc.
 Select clothing carefully. Use eau ton when you re-paper your home. Color is good medicine and bad poison. So say the scientists. :.

LOCAL ). 4. R. PLANS
 ID COLLECT MUSEUM

Following the suggestion of the re- gent, Mrs Emory l.. Oldaker, the &aricopa chapters of Daughters of the American Revolution plans to col feet objects of historical interest for a museum, which will be cared for in the library building.
 They hope to secure the loan of many interesting objects brought by soldiers returning from the late war, and also hope to make a collection of ancient and modern Indian curios. They also plan to collect many other articles, such as heirlooms and other objects of historical interest
 While Arizona is new in statehood, it is old in history, and it is thought that this work will prove not only in teresting, but very valuable to the city and state.
 The collection will be kept in locked cases in d room in the library build ing, and anyone wishing to loan or give articles of historical interest may feel assured of their safe keeping.
 The national organization will meet in Washington in the beautiful Memo rial Continental hall. The local chap ter will be represented by Mrs. Will c. Barnes. who will give a report on the congress at the May meeting.

lQDGE NQAIS

At the regular meeting of Maricopa lodge of the Fraternal Brotherhood last night. eight members were admitted into the society. Lieutenant Clarence E. Johns was unanimously elected cap tain of the drill team and it is his in- tention to choose the best material and have a team of young men and women that can compete with any of the teams on the coast The Fraternal Brotherhood teams are known for their excellence and have held the cup above every other society on the Pacific Coast
 Arrangements were made for May Festival to be held in the park and diff ferent committees are to be appointed. The chairman of each will be one of the capable and energetic workers for the society who will accept their re- sponsibility and do all in their power to make his part decided success.
 This month will end the banner cam paign which was begun the first of the year and the men. being the losers, will entertain the women of the lodge There are several surprises slated for the meetings this month.
 Maricopa lodge is having excellent

 The Juvenile Liberty Lodge of The Fraternal Brotherhood at their meeting last night added six new members to their number. Practice was begun on the May Cantata which is to be in con- nection with the May Festival of Mari copa Lodge.

membership that it was paving all death claims promptly and could con tlnue to do so for certain period, put they also said that with the flu epidemic still claiming members by the hundreds, more money would be needed, probably by July l, and special Head Camp should be called so the delegates could take prompt acton to provide the additional money that will be necessary.
 The Modern Woodmen of America does not have to bolster up it's con- dltlon by misrepresenting others. It Will be operating as the greatest popu- lar American fraternal beneficiary so- clety years after some of it's present traducers have gone out of existence.
 H. ID. Healy. state delegate, has just returned from the Head Camp meeting held in Chicago. Commenting on the reports received in Phoenix, MT. Healy said:
 T am indeed surprised to hear that such false statements could have been made. With over twelve million dol lars in our benefit and patriotic funds how could we be busted
 No, with over one million and a quarter. one hundred per cent Ameri- can members, we cannot go broke.
 Sure, we raised the rates, that is what we intended to do, but contrary to reports, we did not double the rates. The Modern Woodmen experience table of rates was adopted for new business which is twenty per cent lower than any other fraternal bene- f1c1ary society, doing business today. And we protected our old members by adopting flat rate applying to those between the ages of 3S and 45.
 Here is a few facts about the Modern Woodmen of America. It is the largest and oldest fraternal bene- flciary society in the world. They have paid out in death claims, s207,- 1 590,031.4S. This amount does not in- clude other expenses but actual death i claims. There is 14,464 Modern Wood men camps in good standing today During the month of February, 13.0O7 new members were taken into the so- 1 ciety.
 Tt was the first society to establish a patriotic fund, to pay all death losses | of members, killed in the service o1 1 our country.
 The Modern Woodmen of America i pay all death claims promptly. If . member dies, one hour after he has received his policy, his beneficiary is paid the full amount of his certificate | While in some other societies a mem Der must belong for three years be- fore his policy is in full force Int 1 Modern Woodmen of America vii never die"

 The great moving picture production plant at Universal City, California, soon is to have it's own ocean to aid in shooting water scenes. Although the real ocean is but 30 miles away, it takes considerable time and expense to get the different companies to the sea- shore. Therefore, it was decided the other day to flood the east basin of 2 lot inside the 650-acre plant so that water ''shots' always would be avail able.
 A moving picture plant to rival the one owned by that company in Holly wood, California is to be constructed in Long Island City. An entire block will be covered with a glass stage and attendant buildings.
