Ihe employer may specify the hours during which said empIoye may absent himself as aforesaid. Any person or corporation who shall reIuse to an ern- ploye the privilege hereby conferred. or who shall subject an employe to penalty Or reduction of wages because of the exercise of such privilege. or who shall, directly or indirectly, violate the provisions of this section, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
 Attention was drawn also to the fact : that the day of a general election, in 2 this case November 2, is a legal holiday :. while the day of a primary election is not. Labor Day, which precedes the day of the primary election on Septem- Z Der ', is a legal holiday.

GLENDALE GREYS
 GO DOWN IN DEFEAT

The Glendale Greys met their Wa terloo Thursday afternoon at the hands of a picked team from Phoenix. under the leadership of Frank Castle At the opening of the first inning the All Stars decided that it was time to go from here and scored three runs. From then on there was no heading them and when the scorer had count ed up and the dust had cleared away the count was 15 to 1 in favor of the Phoenix All Stars.
 Terrell, Glendale's pitching ace, started on the mound and through no fault of his whatsoever was the SCOT ing done. He pitched good heady ball and had his support been of the gilt edged quality as it has been in the past there would have been a different tale to tell. Terrell was relieved in the fifth inning by Mays and he never got away with anything better and the circle of the diamond went merrily on This breaks Glendale's winning streak, they having won seven in a row before they suffered this defeat

call of the stage in 1918.
At that time she said:
"I have decided that the average
American man is not worth WHILE"
