"POLLYA|V|VA' WITH MARY P|CKFORD WILL RETURN TO COLUMBIA
 MONDAY IF FTERNOO|V

Mary Pickford. the glad girl, in "Pollyanna," the glad play" proved such a tremendously glad offering at it's first offering in Phoenix that the Co., lumbia theater management has acced- ed to public demand and brought this big feature back for a limited return engagement of two days, starting today.
 .Pollyanna' Miss Pickford's first offering for the United Artists corpor- ation, the .big four' is declared by screen critics everywhere to be the best vehicle in which she has ever eared. And this was attested to at the first showing of the play at the Columbia theater a few months ago when it play ed to capacity audiences at almost every performance, with hundreds of come backs"
 The very nature of the play makes it a success. for the whole world loves such a character as Pollyanna-every individual laughs and cries the part of the little girl and they leave the theater feeling just a little bit better toward toward the world and it's people-just a little happier that their ills and troubles are not greater or more severe.
 "Pollyanna" is from the famous story of the same name by Eleanor H. Porter, and deals with the life of a little girl who made it her business to spread the spirit of gladness wherever her path way led. And she spreads this gladness to the audience with an effectiveness that is unbelievable

"The We'll is hv one Of Americas foremost com posers of the day and is quite out of the ordinary, the theme being taken from s.The Gardener" by Rabinranath Tagore. the Hindu poet. It affords much rich material for the musician.
 Although Mrs. Merrill has been res ident of Phoenix for some time, the public has been privileged to hear her on hut few occasions. She is a singer of wide experience, having appeared in concert in San Francisco, the Greek theater in Berkeley, New York and other cities.

 The wife, unmindful of the ploi against her husband is supremely happy in his triumph when she is sum nIoned to the bedside of a dying jurist From the bed ridden man she learns that he knows the whereabouts of one F'ernand, man at the mere mention of whose name strikes straight to the heart of the beautiful woman. The di- rections given by the jurist lead the woman to the underworld of Paris where she locates the young fellow seemingly a hopeless addict to th' habit of absinthe. She encourages hin. to accompany her and he is soon estab- lished in the office of her husband as his secretary. Carefully guarding tht young fellow and encouraging him with affection and interest," it seems his bet ter self has asserted itself when tn. blow falls that promises to rob hei husband of his career. When the thieves reach the house she is aston ished at the identity of the leader. They ply the secretary with absinthe and he is about to yield to open the safe when the wife of the diplomat takes matters in her own hands and opens the safe. Tn the fight which follows between the secretary and the thief the latter meets his death. The arrival of the diplomat finds the wife disclosing not only the identity of the dead man but that of the secretary, a fact that only serves to strengthen the love of the diplomat for his faithful wife.
 On the same program there will be offered .'The Uphill Climb" with Franklyn Farnum.

The name of Mrs. c. E. England has been added to those who are working for the Arizona Childrens home, To- cated at Tucson. Also Mrs. L. NJ. Fitz-. rugh, Mrs. l.. F. Martin, Mrs. o. l. Standage and Mrs. Roland c. Dryer, who has charge of the newspaper pub licity for Maricopa county.
 In speaking of the drive, Mrs. Dryer said: ."The money for the new building for the home is coming in, but not as fast as it should. The time is very short now before the campaign will close. Phoenix has never yet failed to 20 over the top, and I confidently ex- pect the town and valley will raise their share of the $50, 0,000 needed to put up a proper building.

 Tt e chief a r, of .h- home is to find good homes for the children .intrusted to it's care. Rev. w. l.. Summers, a Methodist minister, is state agent l have been asked seevraI times lately as to the women who compose the board in charge of the home. I can only tell of a few. Mrs. Tom Daven- port, president, is active in the Chris tian church of Tucson. Mrs. Bu- chanan, another officer, is prominent in the Presbyterian church. Others are members of the Baptist, Methodist and other churches, and two, I believe, are of the Jewish faith. Different parts of the state are represented on the board They have worked for these past five years since the home was started for all children of the state with great devotion.
 The. site for the new building has been given by a generous woman of Tucson When we realize that very many children are turned away every

GASOLINE TO
COST EVEN MORE

Another advance in the price of
gasoline closely following the recent
one is predicted by refiners and rep
resentatives of various oil companies.
The cause for the increase is the
increased consumption gasoline
shortage and the advance in prices of
crude Oil refiners say.
C. P. Collins, president of the Stand
ard Oil Company of Kentucky, in a
statement declared the price of crude
oil has almost doubled during the past
six months while the price of gasoline
has only increased four or five cents
on the gallon.
One oil company representative, in
creased consumption, said that during

GASOLINE PRICE
MAY Be PROFIT
Decrease In Number OF Acct
dents AS Result Of Less Car
! less Use Of Fluid Predicted

Gasoline is becoming a more impor-
tant on the farm and in the country
generally and the contemplated raise
in price will not be of much moment
to those who have to use the fluid, it
is said by dealers in gasoline driven
machines. implement dealers assert
that the last thing the farmer
thinks of is the price of gasoline, since
what he wants and wants quick, is
service. He wants the machines and
, wants to get them to work as soon as
possible. This is due to the fact that
the farmer used this farm machinery
| for its effectiveness, not for the
pleasure of it. He wants his work
done and this is the quickest way to
get it done land the value of the gaso-
line driven machinery is being more
and more in evidence as the scarcity
Of labor is seen in the country.
Automobile dealers declare that
this feature of the trade is not giving
them any alarm whatever, They adj
nit there may be number of in
creases in the price, but this will de,
crease the number of accidents. Els

COMPI lMENT TO
RICHMOND LADIES
Fair Drivers Are Careful And
Set Excellent Example To Men
Says Police Chief

Owing to the condition of the
streets, there are said to be fewer ac-
cidents in Richmond for the size of
the city than any other in this part of
the state. the local police assert. "All
seem to take into consideration, the
fact that they must be careful and
accidents are very few and far be-
tween, commended Chief of Police
Devore Saturday morning. "Owners
of vehicles are educated to the art
of carefulness here and since the
streets have been torn up, they seem
to realize that caution is necessary,
with the result that few accidents are
reported. There are many women
drivers, some of them pretty young,
whom l will put against the most
careful drivers, and they contribute
largely to the good record being made
for the city relative auto accidents.
Some of them will cross streets filled
with people at times. vending their
way slowly and always having perfect
control of their machines, being able
to stop within a distance of two or
three feet, thus reducing the danger of
accidents to the minimum. I hope that
some of the young men will profit by
by this statement regarding the ladies
as drivers, and keep up the record as
it is at the present time, for it is sure
ly a credit to the city when the num-
Der of machines in use, together with
condition OF the streets, is considered"

HOW GERMS SPREAD

by a Red Cross Nurse.
Germs are passed around in two
ways, either in public, as through
milk, water, food or insects. or in pri
vate ways. of which the human hand
is the most important Milk, water, ol
food which is not kept covered OF
which has become infected with the
germ of some disease may spread this
disease through a whole community.
Insects which feed on decayed fruit
vegetables or food which are spoiled
or infected by germs may spread dis
ease to hundreds of people. For this
reason garbage cans should always
be kept tightly covered, and discharges
from the body of person who has
a germ disease should be destroyed or
thoroughly disinfected.
Left over food from a patient who
has a germ disease should never be
eaten by anyone else. 1t should al
ways be burned and liquid food left
on the tray should be boiled ten min,
utes before it is emptied
OF the private ways the human hand
is by far of the most importance
After handling patient the greatest
care should be taken to scrub the
hands Immediately.
Many people wonder why nurses and
doctors often escape contracting the
diseases that their patients have. II
IS partly because they understand how
very important it is to wash the hands
using soap and water and brush, and
sometimes also disinfectant, after
handling anything that might be in
fected by the germ Of that disease
