that if we searched in his cellar and raised up an old flagstone with a ring in it, we would find a telephone set. The other end of this set was established in an estaminet in a little French village eleven kilos distant. His confederate was so situated on the road that troops coming into the village had to pass the door. As troops march only at night while in the fire sector, his confederate could safely figure out that the passing troops would be quartered in his will lage until the next night. when. under cover of darkness, they would start for the next village, and would have to pass the point in the road by the old church. He would immediately telephone this information to the farmer. who would change his horses accordingly. The hill on which he did his blowing could be easily ob- served from an observation balloon ir the German lines, and thus the sig. nal was given to the German artillery.
 "'We still carried on with our third degree, and got further valuable infor- nation from him.

 "'Under strong guard, which con. cealed itself in the hedge, the farm cl was made to use two grays for two afternoons. The scheme worked. For weeks afterward that road was only occasionally shelled. and our troops and supply trains used it at will The spy at the other end was rounded LID and both were taken to the base and shot.
 We reported back to Old Pepper, expecting to be highly commended for our work, and we were-I don't think. All the blooming blighter said was:
 '"Well, you certainly took long enough to do 1t. I have a damn good mind to send you back to your units for incompetency and inefiiciency."
 "'We saluted and left.
 "'You see, we didn't deserve any great credit. because 1t was only through lucky chance that we stum- bled over the clue, so I guess "Old Pepper" was right after all.'"
 After finishing his story, Curly turned to us and asked:
 Don't you think 1t was pretty nifty work"
 We agreed that 1t was.

 "'Next morning, at daybreak, we again took our stations in the hedge. this time bringing rations with us. The farmer used the same grays in the morning, but in the afternoon he appeared with black and a gray, and again knocked off around four o'clock. No troops came through that night, ;nd there was no Shelling.
 "'Next day the farmer repeated the previous days actions--two grays in the morning and black and gray

 "'We were pretty sure that we had him, but this arresting a spy on slim evidence is ticklish matter. We didn't want to make q mess of the af- fair. or perhaps send an innocent man to his death, so the following day we again took up our stations. Sure enough, it was two grays in the morn- ing. but in the afternoon he used two blacks. That night troops came through and were shelled. We had solved the problem. Two grays in the morning mean nothing. The actual signal to the enemy was the change of horses in the afternoon; two blacks meaning troops coming through to- night, shell the road;" gray and black.

Redmonds Present New Attraction
 Tonight

Jimmy! Where Are You?" desig- mated as an iridescent frolic in two acts will be the attraction staged by the Ed Redmond Foliies at the Ameri- can theater for the week beginning with tonights performance.
 A neighborly neighbor who is ever willing to help friend in distress and the calling in of his services by @ young married woman whose husband in a fit of jealous rage deserted her. fol- lowed by a scheme emenating from the fixers fertile brain to bring about a reconciliation, forms the basis of the play and the myriad of funny compli- cations that ensue are brought about by the well laid plans going astray.
 Ed Redmond will appear in the role of the fixer while Robbie Deane will be cast as the wife, Joe Kemper as the irate husband, Peggy Betts as friend fixers wife, Marvin Hammond in the role of a distracted mother, and Irene Noblitt, Orville Harris, Eddie Mitchell and the bevy of sprightly choristers in good supporting roles.
 Jimmy! Where Are Your" will be staged in the usual Redmond manner with special settings, lighting effects smart costumes and a series of crisI | Broadway musical interpolations. The play will hold the boards 1 throughout the entire week with mat inees on Thursday, Saturday and Sun- i day afternoons

Sennett Beauties Cominq

With the current movie attractions enjoying such satisfactory popularity generally, it is not surprising that next week brings a double novelty to the Columbia theater for four days starting Sunday, May 4.
 The double novelty, a. dazzling com bination of feminine loveliness and a filmed satire of convulsing, yet hero ically patriotic plot, will be revealed to amusement seekers. when Mack Sennetts Yankee Doodle in Berlin is projected upon the screen and Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties appear in Phoenix for the first time professional ly outside the Sennett studios.
 The shapely, wholesome and beanti- full models of feminine perfection will be seen in person in their fetching costumery and in an act specially de- signed and lighted to reveal them at their athletic best.
 This special appearance of the Sen nett bathing beauties in person is cost ing the Sennett company a small for tune to produce in this city. For instance, four special stage settings are now in the making in Los Angeles, the total cost of which is $2,SG0. These settings are declared to be the most elaborate ever prepared for an enter tainment of this character.
 All seats for evening performances will be reserved, the seat sale to start at the Columbia box office later in the week. There will be three complete double performances each day. mat
