BILL NOW PENDING
To INCREASE THE PAY
Of ALL MEN IN ARMY

A bill is now pending in congress
winch provides for a raise in pay of
all enlisted men of the regular army
Of so per cent, and 80 per cent for com
missioned officers. This includes both
active and retired men of the service.
by the proposed increase of enlisted
men, private will receive $45 a month
base pay, and those who have re-enlist-
ment pay, first-class gunners' pay, or
such other additions, will be receiving
an income that will make the army
very attractive and equal in every way
to the average civilian job.
The war department has also outlined
a system of vocational training which
will give enlisted men of the army an
opportunity to become skilled in almost
any mechanical branch which they
wish to follow, and a course in gram
mar, arithmetic, algebra, geometry.
bookkeeping and designing will fit
them to accept responsible and good
paying positions when they return to
civil life These schools will be located
at several points throughout the
United States and will be conducted in
such manner that education will be the
leading feature, although the drill and
sary for the discipline of any organi-
cation. At the conclusion of the course,
which will extend over one year, each
student who has become proficient will
receive a certificate of graduation.
When all these advantages of a
first-class education are considered,
along with the physical good which is
derived from a term of service in the
army, and the excellent pay. which is
all clear, as the government provides
every necessity of living, it is very sure
a young man with no dependents can
make no better choice than to put in
three years with the co1ors Men with
previous service can enlist for one
year for oversee or domestic service
and those with no former enlistment tc
their credit can enlist for one year OF
three years for domestic service or for
three years oversee.

of the Army Recruiting Station at liz

million is one of the attractive objects
of the street and of the city. For
many years its rows of exterior lights
have been lamp in the path of the
pedestrian and a lure to its votaries.
On its boards have stood in times past
the elder Booth and Mrs. George Bar
rett. Booth of whom a capital like
ness in crayon by Rowse hangs in the
main hall, deserves to be classed with
Kean, Kemble and the giants of the
stage. His unfortunate penchant for
convivial indulgence has given rise to
many anecdotes. On one occasion
while playing at the Howard Athen-
aeum, Tom Ford, the manager, stipu-
lated that Booth should be locked up
in his room by a certain hour that the
actor might not be in a condition to
disappoint the audience as was some
times the case. The chagrin of the
manager may be imagined at finding
the tragedian intoxicated when he
came to fetch him to the theater. Booth
had bribed a waiter to bring liquor to
his door where successive glasses were
emptied by means of a straw through
the keyhole. AS Richard III, Booth
was incompatible. He often became
greatly excited in the combat scene

he attacked w. H. Smith the veteran

TEMPE, Oct. 1S.-The meeting of the
Tempe Woman's club, held Friday aft
ernoon, was largely attended and in
tensely interesting. Mrs. Cookson gave
her Russian book review in a capable
manner, and the strict attention of the
audience proved their appreciation.
Mrs. William Goodwin's solo was also
greatly enjoyed. The club membership

zation. Delegates to the district feder-

New Music Instructor

Miss Luscomb, who is sent out by the
Arizona School of Music, will be in
Tempe on Tuesday and Friday of each
week to give instructions in music.
Miss Luscomb will instruct on the
piano and other instruments. with the
exception of wind instruments. All
who desire to study under her will re-
ceive their instructions at the high
school. This means that any one in
town who so desires may take work
under Miss Luscomb, and a special rate
will probably be given the high school
students.
Miss Rice, the music instructor for
the public schools, desires that all who
can take up work on the various in
struments besides the piano will do so,
as this will greatly improve the schools
of Tempe. She is also quite anxious
that the school board may soon find it
possible to purchase some of the vari-
Gus instruments and put them at the
disposal of the students.

FAMOUS THEATER
BUILT BY FATHER
Of GEO. D. FORD

George O. Ford has lately received
from a sister in Boston some news
paper clippings, more than a half CEN
fury old, relating to the Howard
Athenaeum which was built by his
father, Thomas Ford, in 1851, almost
contemporaneous with the appearance
of Mr. Ford in Boston and on earth.
Mr.. Ford at one time had the articles
of agreement wherein his father gave
Hackett, the great comedian of his
day, the assistant management of the
Athenaeum. 1t was there that Bar
mum brought out many of his cele-
brities, Jennie Lind, Tom Thumb and
Minnie Warren and the Wild Man Of
Borneo, and it was there that Gill
more's Boston and first made its APP
pearance. Mr.. Ford yesterday speak
ing of the old theater said: "All the
great actors, then numerous, but now,
almost extinct, vie with each other
for honors that had to be merited.
Particular attention may be called to
the great Booth and his weakness for
liquor which may add was the down
fall of many great actor and states
man of that day, it being almost uni
versally attributed as a mark of
sociability and good fellowship. There
was scarcely an actor of fame that had
not graced that stage. Henry Ford is,
as far as I can learn, a grandson of
my fathers brother"
The following is a clipping from a
Boston paper in 1854:
1.-THE Howard Athenaeum, as it now
stands was built on the site of the
old Tabernacle. Mr.. Ford, the pro-
prietor, at loss for name, asked
me to christen it and 1 suggested the
name 'thenaeum' with the view of dis
arming the prejudice that then at
tached to the word 'theater.' / may
say, toe, that the naming of the Bos
ton Museum is a similar instance OF
sailing with the wind of popular
opinion. Mr.. Ford did me the honor
of asking me to lay the cornerstone
of the Athenaeum but the necessity
of absence from the city prevented
my compliance and Mr.. Hackett per-
formed the office. 1t was in the
Tabernacle that made my return tc
the Boston stage after being engaged
in conducting the School of Oratory.'
The foregoing is % quotation from
an article by James Murdoch one o.
the leading tragedians of his day.

Booth is from an editorial:

JOAN AT HALFWAY

S0TAN - ElNlE w - tNJGOTRP
Doran company, $3.50 metz is a rather
puzzling contribution to the so-called
literature of the period by Grace
Mcleod Rogers. Puzzling, in that it
has no action to speak of, and consists
of dialogue after dialogue with once in
while paragraph depicting action
of sport sandwiched in between. How
ever. it has the one redeeming trait of
not being wildly impossible.
Joan at Hallway" is peculiar, to say
the least. 1t has no particular story to
make it popular, and its never ending
dialogue has not the quality of definite
purpose that once in while makes a
novel successful by its mere preaching
What story the book has is this:
Joan Wisdom, grandehild of a runaway
marriage, comes back to Halfway
House of Garrett Wisdom, her irascible
great uncle who has been soured by
life. She gradually brings about a
Transformation that restores the kind
illness to his character, and incidentally
brings about his reconcilition with the
Island branch of the family. And by
no means least, she aids her kinsfolk
to conquer the gypsy curse of always
being thirsty.
That gypsy curse of thirst is the most
improbable part of the book. One can
understand the curse of a thirst for
alcohol, but when a thirst for plain
water becomes part of a curse-well.
just imagine it.
Joan At Halfway" is readable. how
ever, and its portrayal of characters is
fair, though the characters are not
particularly lifelike. It is ideal for a
book to browse along over, but for
thrills and the entertainment that mod
ern Americans seem to expect it is out

LITERATURE AND ART
Conducted ByJ W. MARTIN
THE TEST OF scARLET-(John

THE TEST OF ScARLET-(John
Lane company, s1.6O metz. This is the
latest, and possibly the best war book
of one of the continents most noted
younger writer's. While not really a
novel, the book will become one of the
most popular of the year unless all lik-
ing for real work has vanished.
Coningsby Dawson is the author of
1.-THE Test of Scarlet" and it's worthy
addition to the previous war books that
have won his fame. Dawson does not
weave thrills and excitement into his
war stories, and neither does he Gull
tivate that realism" pose that the like
of Dresser seek for. He simply puts
the fighting men of the western front
as indelibly into literature as Homer
put the men of Greece and Troy.
The book deals with the last big
drive of the Canadians, and from all
appearances is nothing more or less
than the note book of the author, who
served with the northern men. 1t
deals solely with an artillery regiment
and it's men; what they saw and what
they felt There are no heroics what
ever, no artificial touches. 1t is mainly
the impressions of one of the soldiers
himself
Under Dawson's simple narrative his
comrades are plain men, bankers and
lumberjacks. tradesmen and school
boys, all jumbled up. He takes his
readers with them when they leave
their quiet position to for the spear
head in Foch"s great drive on the
Hindenburg line. He does not tell you
These men won the war" he lets you
see for yourself how they tried, and
succeeded, to help.
The book abounds with pathos and
with courage. The characters are such
as every one knows, and the action is
merely what happened, and it is
enough. Heming, the man who wished
to die to escape unrequited love for a
spy; Suzette, the French peasant girl
who has "joined up" the girl who
has been used by men and will again; ="
her little son whom the men worship;
the major, who won V. c. just ito
show" the girl who had married an
other man; all are alive. and, alive, live
with the reader on the printed page.
