\ DANGEROUS G|RL''
 COMING ID THE ELKS

The Phoenix public can always de- pend on Del S. Lawrence and his cap- able company, who are entering the eighth week of their engagement at the Elks theater, to give them some thing new and interesting in the line of plays, and the forthcoming produc- ton of "A Dangerous Girl" which starts Monday evening, is one that will make the audience sit up and take no- tice. You have seen MT. Lawrence in different roles during his stay, but t is in the light comedy parts that you seem to demand him, as witness the Spontaneous bursts of laughter that greeted his first scene in "Yon Ton son." and in the coming bill, as Danny, light hearted, goodnatured. lovable Danny, he is at his best. His every line in the play is a treat, but it is his description of the chicken farm he is working on that is the most delic iously numerous thing in the play.
 Miss Steck, as the dangerous girl, ?
 is anything but dangerous. Neverthe- less, she is dangerous to the bold. scheming heavy, who has to suffer de- feat of his schemes at her little hands and big heart.
 The entire company is well cast. es pecially Margaret Nugent, who. as the Irish scrub lady, desires to be another Theda Bara and enters the movies to be society queen, but who has to ad rRit defeat and go back to her pail and scrubbing brush. One of the big surprises of the week is the engage ment of Miss Georgia Mintz, popular society girl of Phoenix, who, at the earnest pleading of MT. Lawrence, has consented to play the part of Marion for the week, necessitated by the sud- den calling home to Frisco of Miss Printy. Miss MintZ is only doing this to help MT. Lawrence out of a pre- dicament and has no intention of en- tering upon a stage career.
 MT. Schilling, who has been delight ing the patrons of the E,lks with his beautiful voice, will sing several clas- sic songs between acts.
 The public will kindly notice that the performances begin each evening on the new time; evening at S:30, mati- nee at 2:S0. The regular matinees will be given Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at popular prices.

THIS STATE MAY YET
GET ROAD MACHINERY Y
Mixup Over Disposal OF Government
Machines May Soon BE Clear
cd Up.

Washington, Sept. Confusion
has arisen here over the disposal of
surplus road building machinery
owned by the war department. which
was originally intended for distribu-
ton through the department of agri-
culture TO the several states. The cur
rent post-ofiice appropriation bill au-
thOrizes the war department to fur
nish this road building machinery to
the department of agriculture, which
might. under certain conditions, sup
ply it to the states for the good roads
campaign. However, the sundry civil
appropriation bill subsequently pass
ed carried a rider fOrbidding one gov
ernment department to transfer to
another government department mat
erial free of charge.
This is construed by the judge ad-
vocate general of the army to abro-
gate the law relating to road build
ing machinery. The department of
agriculture disagrees with this rul-
ing, but meanwhile the allotment to
states. including South Carolina, is
held up.
Frank Page chairman of the North
Carolina highway commission, has
been in correspondence with Senators
Simmons and Overman regarding the
miXup. and contends that the road
building plans in the Tar Heel state
have been held up because of the con-
troversy in the departments here.
Senator Simmons today notified
Chairman Page that a movement is
on foot IN Congress TO clarity the law
and that Representative Kahn. chair
man of the military affairs committee
of the house, will introduce bill next
week specifically authorizing the
transfer OF road building machinery
by the war department to the depart
ment of agriculture and its good
roads bureau
If the Kahn bill does not become a
law before September 4. when the
war department plans TO begin sell
ing its surplus machinery, Senator
simmons will attempt to get through
Congress an emergency Joint resolu-
ton holding up these sales until the
entire matter can be settled.

By JACK VEIOCK-
uust seek Bob Martin and defeat


Ware is responsible for the state
ment that the army champion has the
vote Of two million Ameri-
can soldiers who look upon him as
the real heavyweight champion
Captain Ware is perhaps tribe
over-enthusiastic about Martin. but
his enthusiasm is prompted by honest
conviction. He points out that Mar
tin as a fighting man. having de-
feated the best fighters that could
be dug from the ranks Of the allied
armies, without the guidance Of
manager or the lure Of a rich purse
to spur him on. deserves more credit
than Jack Dempsey because he has
met and defeated men from various
parts Of the world, whereas Demp-
sey's activities have been confined to
the United States alone
should Meet Martin.
II Ware speaks for the majority Of
American soldiers, as he says, the
popular demand for a match between
Martin and Dempsey should bring the
two together IN the not far-distant
future. At any rate, the bout would
be bound to attract wide interest
In speaking Of the activities OF
American boxers In the big tour
nament in France, Captain Ware
does not cOnfine himself to the
heavyweight division alone. He
