PAY TRIBUTE ID LIFE OF FRANK |. JOHNSON LATE ?. H. J. TEACHER

Phoenix High school in assembly yesterday paid d tribute to the mem ory of the late Prof. Frank C. John son of the faculty, head of the de partment of agriculture. The services were opened with a song by Miss Bess Barkley "One Sweetly Solemn Thought Comes to Me Ger and Ger" Prayer by Rev. w. <. Buchanan followed Supt. D. F. Jantzen of the faculty spoke briefly of the smiling life of Professor Johnson.
 Tt could not be said that he is dead. 5 said the speaker, for he lives on in lne influence he had exerted upon those who had been brought in contact with him.
 The remarks of MT. Jantzen were closed with a quotation from Tenny- sons Tn Memoriam."
 The principal address was that of Lieut.. W. w. Carpenter of the fac ulty, who said in part:
 One of our most valuable instruc- tors has left our midst: has passed at the call from the Great Beyond. His life. full of good deeds and kind ness, will forever live with us. Old Phoenix high has been better place and will be better for it's contact with our departed friend. counsellor and advisor. We. the faculty, feel very keenly the loss of such a friend, for he was indeed friend of all. The youngest member of the faculty. as well as the oldest, could not but feel in his presence his friendship and his pleasure at being able to serve us. Words cannot tell you how much we feel. for l know of no words which could describe to you or express to you how we loved him or how we shall miss him from day to day.
 Prof. Frank C. Johnson was grad uated from the Normal School of Okla homa at Edmund, Okla, in 1909. His wife was member of the same class, as they had been Schoolmates pre- viously. Upon entering the normal he lived up with the best that the school offered. being very active in the C. l.. and Y. M. c. A. work. Professor John sons first service in Arizona was in the schools of Mesa, and it was from Mesa that he was called to Phoenix.
 Tn closing, l wish to say that to me Professor Johnson is not dead, but that he has passed on.' leaving to us along with our burdens and cares and life means. His memory will forever be with us and will inspire us and help us in our work"
 There were remarks by Fred Me Neill, student. who spoke feelingly of the high regard in which Mir. John son was held by the students
 The outstanding feature of the as sembly was the atmosphere of rever- ence for the life of MT. Johnson. The serious attention of a thousand stu dents for an hour was an eloquent tribute to the life of the dead teacher

Before the value of the Canadian dollar in the United States dropped to it's present level all gold for commercial purposes was ob- tained from the royal mint at Ottawa, and although it occasionally placed an embargo on the commercial use until some need was met, this embargo was lifted from time to time.

Phoenix must wait a few days longer, or possibly it may have to wait for more than a few days longer, be- fore it will be in line for anything definite from the state corporation commission and the railroad companies concerning the proposed new depot facilities here, even though the rail- road people and the commission went over thee subject pretty thoroughly yesterday.
 The commission had notified the santa E'e and Arizona Eastern rail roads 70 appear at commission head quarters yesterday morning with plans for union depot or for individual depots and with suggestions for the time and place of construction thereof or to accept the alternative of being told what to do
 The representatives Of the railroad com panies at the hearing asked for 90 days additional time, claiming that tne railroad draAghting departments were not kept up to all requirements while under federal control and that d great deal of reorganization work in all de- partments was on hand or in sight just now because of the expected re- lease from government control on March l. The commission adjourned with the request unanswered and with the understanding that 1t would take a few days for deIiberation before de- terminiDg whether it would grant the request or order the railroads to get busy.

TEN LEGISLATORS
 FORGET THEIR PAY

In spite of his utmost vigilance, born of past and bitter experience, five sen ators and five representatives sue ceeded in eluding and completely get ting away from Deputy State Auditor NJ. $. Stanley last Friday when he wanted to pay them for their mileage and their days work in connection with that special legislature session on February 12.
 Every one of that bunch of ten has s1 pay coming for the days work and mileage in varying amounts, all of which the deputy auditor now has to drag along on his books. The legisIa- tors are safe, as he is not allowed to mail his vouchers to them to sign and he cannot mail checks for the money until the vouchers are completed
 The bunch that fooled him by dodg- ing their pay and getting away con sists of Senators Hugh Campbell. J. c. Devine, Fred O. Goodell, William A Parr and H. B. Wilkinson, and Repre- sentatives w. G. Bowman, William Delbridge. W. ". DobsQn, W. J. Gal braith and Mrs. J. H. Westover.
 Some of the pay dodgers reside in Phoenix or nearby, and Stanley says he'll get them sure, but he entertains very little hope of rounding up and paying the distant ones.

"EIame Of The Desert.

Massive sets and nunOTeuS or eA = tras" lend realism to the fascination of the romance and adventure which abounds in Flame of the Desert, Ger aldine F'arrar's latest and greatest pho toplay drama which will be offered at the Columbia theater for the last times today.
 The story, starring Miss Farrar and Lou Tellegen. her husband, is one of unusual attractiveneSs with it's scenes leaid in England and Egypt. Thous ards of performers are shown in a re- production of the famous Victory Ball scene of London and desert scenes.
 In one of the desert scenes, $20,000 worth of rugs serve as backgrounds for dramatic scenes in Arab tents covering the walls, couches and floors.
 As an English girl in an Arabian setting, Miss Farrar fits into the role with grace. The many. dramatic mom ents suit her histrionic powers and in the love scenes with Lou Tellegen, as an Arabian Sheik, is more pliant and responcive than she las ever shown herself in films. Flame of the Des- ert' is a screen drama in which the mystic atmosphere of the Sahara des ert serves to add realism to a story m which romace and adventure are the dominating characteristics.
 A special music score. especially de- vised for this offering, adds great DOW to the production.
 The supplementing program num- bers for today only include a Current Topics, Pathe Review and a Selected comedy

"PoIIyannav at the Columbia.

When Eleanor II. Porter wrote tPollyanna," thus strumming the heart strings of the people with the magic of her genius, she little realized that she was creating an ideal vehicle for the worlds greatest motion picture actress. Yet that is exactly what this appealing novel has proved to be and in the film version released by the United Artists corporation, Mary Pickford paints in black and white and most pathetic, adorable, lovabe Polly anna that could possibly be conceived. Mary Pickford and "Pollyanna" come to the Columbia theater for triumph ant four-day stay, starting tomorrow Wednesday,.
 There is a depth of feeling in her characterization that reaches out and grips the heart The humor, the pa tnos. the genuine humanness that she puts into her work in this picture adds the largest and by far the most bril- liant jewel to her already sparkling crown of success. Undoubtedly Mary Pickfords ''Pollyanna' will finger long in the memories of those who follow the flicker art

 Miss Steck not only delighted, but surprised her friends by her interpre- tation of Valerie West, the artist $ model. She plays the difficult role with such ease and grace that even in the posing scene in the first act when she makes her first picture. un- draped, there is not the slightest sug- geStion of anything indecent.

 "The Common Law" At The Eiks
 Wilma Stecl. leading woman in Common Law now being featured by the Del s. Lawrence Company at the E,lks Theter, is continuing to meet with a wealth of approval.
 Phoenix audiences have long been fond of Wilma Steck, they have appre- cisted her exceptional dramatical abil- ities, but yesterday, for the first time, she appealed to them in new light. Nc small amount of credit should be awarded to Del Lawrence himself, who plays the leading male role with all the dignity and depthful ability the part demands.
 In every way this nationally famed novel is different from the succession of plays this popular company has re- gently offered, and besides satisfying the ''something different impulse on the part of patrons, they have estab- lished themselves as capable of depict ing the melo- dramatic as we'll as the lighter and more Imaginable comedies.
 Common Law will continue throughout this week, with special ma tinee Saturday afternoon.
