THE FAIRBANKS COMPANY
 MAKE PICTURES OF INDIANS

Douglas Fairbanks and company who have been filming scenes in local settings for the past week, will return to the coast after a successful pleas ant sojourn in this vicinity. It is said some wonderful scenes were taken on the reservation north of town and many amusing tales are told of the endeavor to explain the intricacies and requirements of motion picture acting to the extras" consisting mostly of Hopi Indians.
 Whether this picture is to be called "The Makin's" or "The Mollycoddle" will make no difference in the local in- terest whenever it shall appear on the screen. Manager Waters, of the Pas time theatre, will, undoubtedly show this picture at the first opportunity.
 With the Indian reservations, pu- eblos, the Petrifed Forest, and the Painted Desert as settings, Holbrook offers distinct attraction to motion picture companies requiring locations of this nature.
 As a whole, the weather has been excellent for the taking of pictures while Doug" and his company have been pastiming among us.-Holbrook News.

CONVICT PROVES
 HIMSELF A HERO

Covering the prostrate body of his foreman, Shorty" Mcdonald, from falling rock fragments, the result of a blast in highway construction near the state prison, Pete Salinas, Mexican prisoner, saved that officials life few days ago, according to a story told by P, R. Mines, secretary to the gover- nor. The foreman was knocked sense- less by premature blast, and lay on the ground exposed to descending rocks still in the air. Salinas saw the danger and covered the foreman's body with his own. One rock struck the Mexican on the head and nearly stunned him. He, was only dazed, how ever, and with superhuman strength carried the foreman to safety before the second charge exploded. Salinas was serving time on a burglary charge. Mcdonald regained conscious ness soon after the accident, suffering no ill effects from the shock.

CARRIED ROCK IN
 HEAD FOR 23 YEARS

That James Tovey, of Globe, has been carrying a segment of rock in his head just above the right temple, for twenty-three years was disclosed when Dr. R. D. Kennedy removed it. The rock was half-inch square and three-eights of an inch thick. It was blown into Tovey's head in 1897 in an explosion at the Old Dominion mine.
 After the accident surgeons re- moved small quantity of rock from the head of the victim. The wound left lump below the wound, which recently became irritated. Doctor Kennedy opened the skin and found the foreign substance.

JUSTICE MAHONEY
 KNOWS THE ROPES

Some of those who are well up in such things are telling a story about Justice Mahoney, of Winslow, and Justice Easley, of Holbrook. The lat ter was marrying couple in the Hol- brook court house and Justice Ma honey and Superior Judge Crosby were the witnesses. When Justice Easley had concluded the ceremony Justice Mahoney asked the local judge if he did not always kiss the bride, stating that he always made practice of do- ing it. Judge Easley blushed, thought a second, and said: Probably that is the reason why so many of the Wins low brides go before Judge Crosby to get divorces." The Holbrook Tribune has not learned just what Judge Ma honey replied.-Holbrook Tribune.

Women in Philippines

Tn the twenty years of American con- trol in the islands, prepared as she was by racial tendency and religion, the Filipino woman has responded in re- markable degree in thought and aspira- tion to the new influenee. In all class es the personal diameter has length ened amazingly The establishment of the public school system with co-educa- tion the rule from the primary through the university has had an awakenin. effect that increases tremendously each year. There are, of course, many who still prefer the convent or private school for their daughters, but the il- luminating point is that in no other eastern country is co-educaton even among the possibilities.
 Considered, practically as an asset in the material progress of the archipelago, the Filipino woman is no negligible quantity. In the economic problem her value does not lie in proximity to zero, not by any means. The Philippine cen sus of 1908, the only official census Of the islands, states that "the proportion of women engaged in gainful occupa- tions in the Philippines is more than double that of the United States and three times that of Porto Rico, and more than three times that of Cuba. As statistics have a. habit of doing, these figures do not tell the exact truth. The Filipino women are not Sucn ln- dustrious bees as might be gathered from the above. The following explana- tion may modify conclusions drawn from the figures The economy of the Filipino household may be compared with the European in the eighteenth century with this difference. The Eu ropean household was self-subsisting, manufacturing largely all needs of both household and family, but the women were not counted as wage-earners. In the Philippines because ot distribution of raw material, which is rarely cultl- vated and often because of some freak of chance, each little community has it's special products manufactured by wom- ans hands. These products, through the channels of trade, are exchanged. Hence the women are engaged in gain ful occupations. This division of labor which exists in all parts of the country and the stage of household economy ex- plains the unusually large proportion of women wage-earners given not only in the census report, but also by other au- thorities.

CHINESE SOPRANO FEATURE IF BILL
 AT LYRIC THEATRE
High Class Bill of Keith Vaudeville and GOldwyn Picture Feature, '"The
 Return of Tarzan"

Lyric patrons have decided treat in store for them for the first half of the week, for the management of this theatre has billed real Chinese so- prano. Perhaps this is the first time in Birmingham history that such a voice has appeared on the vaudeville stage.
 The Orient had music and song even before there was an Occident. Never theless, in the west a Chinese vocalist is a novelty. and it should be, because very few singers from China or Japan brave the distance to America Prin- cess Mai Tai Tai is called "the orien- tai lark" Her voice is well cultivated and her English enunciaton is said to be perfect. This little artist will also give a taste of her own language by singing a popular American song in her native tongue,
 Walter Weems is said to tell southern stories a little bit better than anybody else. He is southerner with sense of humor as broad as his dialect Weems is said to have natural gift for tell ing things and this fact has made him one of the best liked monologists in vaudeville today.
 BerlS and Sawn are scheduled to pre- sent some real dancing, with the latest steps and fancy touches which have al- ready arrived at the first cities to try these things.
 Scott and Cristy are just "the clever comedy couple" which everx show has to have. However, their comedy is de- clared to be different, which, of course, makes the entire act different.
 Merely the mention of Fashion Min strels' is expected to be enough to bring out the feminine pleasure seekers in large crowds. They just can't stay away from fashions.
