POOR IN GEOGRAPHY

One of the studies which may well receive special attention in the schools is Geography and not much that of the uncertain and swiftly changing boundaries of Europe with their ''etlnic variations as that of country especially the location of important points
 At civil service examination held recently one of the questions asked of the 137 applicants the loca tion of five American cities. Birmingham. Philadelphia St. Louis Albany and san Francisco. Only DO per cent of those taking the examination located all five correctly Philadelphia was shifted to New York St Louis to Mon tana and poor old Albany published all the map As the persons taking the examination supposed to have had at least the equivalent of eighth grade edu cation, the result is little startling
 The modern methods of teaching geography doubtedy alive and interesting than the older and suited ways and the children who study under the new regime become possessed of amazing amount of general information: but judging by the results here shown little more of the old definite. comt-it-to memory procedure would not come amSS.

OFFICER is RUN DOWN

San Diego, Calf, July 11.-Al-
fonso G. Bernard a United States
immigration officer stationed at
Campo, sixty miles from here, was
run down and killed late last night
by an automobile when he attempt

for smugglers.
Bernard and another inspector,
Henry Y. Hackett. were hating all
automobiles along a road leading
from Lower California, Mexico,
where they were on the lookout
for persons smuggling Chinese into
the country. The machine that
killed Bernard was first ordered to
halt by Hackett, who told invcsti-
gators that it made for him when
he called to the occupants, and he
escaped by jumping aside. Ber-
nard was a few hundred feet down
the road and when he attempted
to halt the automobile it made di-
lrectly for him. according to Hack

A passing motorist glimpsed the
number and with that as lead

MEREST CHANCE SERVED

INTO OFFICERS HANDS

isy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wisgr
Phoenix, Ariz,, July 11.-Only
the merest chance served to deliver
into the hands of peace Officers
Jesus Maria Barboa, arrested near
Patagonia, Santa Cruz county, on
charge of murder in connection
with the killing of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Erhardt in their home here
on the night of June 6, last. The
couple. aged and supposedly we'll
to-do, were so beaten with a ham
mer that death followed.
Barboa was caught near the Mex
lean border after more than $50
suspects had been arrested in Vari-
Gus parts of the state and all had
been found to have had no con-
nection with the double murder
County officials here held Barboa' $
-purported confession that he COM
mitted the murder with robbery as
the motive.
Chance turned up Barboa to the
authorities when they were at their
wits end. With refuge in Mexico
almost in sight, Barboa walking
along a country road, asked two
girls in a conveyance to give him
a ride. Not understanding the re-
quest, the girls did not stop but
hurried on to deputy sheriff to
whom they reported a man had
tried to hold them up. The deputy
went out to look for Barboa and
got him. The serious disclosures
came later after Barboa's palm
prints had been compared at the
sheriff's office here with those
found in the Erhardt house.
All the circumstances considered
people here have been wondering
what share the girls and the deputy
would receive of rewards totaling
more than $4,000, provided that
Barboa were convicted-and who
would get the rewards if for any
reason the girls and the deputy
were held ineligible.

ELSIE FERGUSON
PLAYS THREE PARTS
In "THE AVALANCHE

Playing three distinct roles in
her latest Aircraft picture. THE
Avalanche" beautiful Elsie Fergu-
son will be seen to excellent ad-
vantage in this excellent picturiza-
ton by Ouida Bergere of Gertrude
Atherton's latest novel which will
be repeated today and tomorrow
with all needful accessories and
music at the "B" theater.
Under the direction of George
Fitzmaurice, the scenes in which
Miss Ferguson appears stimuli
taneously as Nine. Delano, keeper
of a fashionable gambling house,
and Helene, her daughter, have
been handled most artistically.
Double exposures were necessary
to show Miss Ferguson simultane-
ously as mother and daughter, but
the illusion is most perfect and at
times exceptionally effective.
In this remarkable photoplay,
Miss Ferguson appears first as Chi
chita, the daughter of a Spanish
bier who is killed in quarrel.
She becomes the associate of a
wastrel of good family and after
he commits suicide because of his
gambling losses, Chichita places
her infant in a convent weds a
gambler and goes to New York and
the pair open a fashionable gam
bling resort.
Helene, the child, escapes from
the convent after fifteen years and
finds her way to New York, where
she elopes with Prince Ruyler, a
novelist. During their honeymoon
the latent gambling instinct which
she inherited from her father and
grandfather, asserts itself with un-
usually dramatic results. The sit
uations which develop in quick
succession are filled with expect
ancy and thrill and as whole they
afford Miss Ferguson excellent op-
portunities for the display of her
mimetic gifts. The supporting
cast, headed by Lumsden Hare. is
excellent.

BOSS PAINTERS
AND J0URNEYMEN
To MEET TODAY

Despite the meeting that was
held yesterday by the Contractors
association and the Building Trades
council, the settlement of labor
difficulties in the city is no nearer
than it was two weeks ago.
The contractors at their meeting
yesterday rejected the proposal
of the painters for an increase in
wages of so cents per day now and
another so cents on January l, II
it was found that government re-
ports showed that there had been
a 10 per cent decrease in the cost
of living. The proposal of the con-
tractors was that if it was shown
there had been an increase in liv-I
ing costs of 10 per cent, then all
crafts in the city were to receive
an increase of 81 per day This
proposal was rejected by the paint
ers for the reason that they felt
the contractors should meet them
half way in their demand for 81
per day increase at the present
time,
1t is thought that a meeting of
the boss painters and journeymen
painters will be held this afternoon,
when it is probable a settlement
will be effected.
