Lucy Gates came to this country several years ago, covered with honors. musical and militant She had achieved one of the best American successes" in Germany. She has sung notable roles at the Cassell and Berlin operas and had position" Then came the war and thrice confounded con- fusion in the musical world. When the first panic subsided the kaiser ordered that the opera proceed,--that all return 10 their posts But he had not reck- oned with one little American who re- fused the royal request and disobeyed the royal dictum and made her way out of the country with all speed America held no position,-sne was not accredited,-she would have to begin all over again. But it was America,-- where no kaiser could dictate.
 And so she came to her own,-and in reversion of the parable her own re- ceived her unqualifiedly. for from the very first that Lucy Gates was heard here.-hers had been a constant rise, until today she has more than re- achieved the position she relinquished.
 Lucy Gates will be heard in concert at the Elks theater on Tuesday. June 8. Her coming promises to be one of the really notable events of the season.

Things picked up little in the drive for the Salvation Army home service fund by the Elks yesterday, picked up quite a bit, but still far from good.
 Undoubtedly. the slowness with which the people of Phoenix are con- trobuting for this fund, to be used in their own city for the benefit of our own people, is because of a lack of in formation on the subject, at least that is the solution offered by Guy Allsap, exalted ruler of the Elks.
