LEGION SPIRIT" Is
 PRAISED IN ARTICLE
 PUBLISHED IN EAST

The following article concerning the work being done by the American Le- zion appeared in the Indianapolis Star on June 2S, and is reproduced as an evidence of the practical application of every day life:
 = Somebody's brother died in the City hospital last Thursday morning Whose, nobody knew. None of kin came to comfort him in his last hours; none to claim his body.
 That young man was a world war veteran. Beyond that fact his history was obscure. So far as is known, he came to this city penniless and friend hospital. He died without anyone wis iting him from whom any Knowledge could be gained 10 his family con- nection or former home. He had an honorable discharge as a soldier in the late war and this guaranteed him a burial as becomes an American son who had fought for his country. The American Legion did not wait to as- certain his social standing or his rat ing in life. Here was a brother who had died away from home and far from friends, and it answered the question, Is he not after all my brother?'
 Because of this Legion spirit some mothers boy who had shown the true American spirit was given a decent burial. But for this spirit that soldier boy would have gone to potter's field, as many another poor boy has gone.
 "A Legion committee secured the services of one of the best undertakers of the city. It purchased a $150 casket in which his body was laid and silk flag draped over it. The funeral serv- ices were conducted by Bishop Francis, nrx cd 11,n fl0 Rrl f war. Busy men left their stores, of fices and shops to attend this funeral, which was conducted with true .ni1i- tary honors. All this for a man of whom nothing was known except that he was an honorably discharged Amer ican soldier.
 '-That silk American flag, draped over the body of that lone boy preached a silent sermon of patriotism and loy- alty that ought to reach the heart of every true American citizen; and if there be in this typically American city who in the past has been tempted to look upon that flag with contempt. or who had disdainfully treated the privileges of citizenship in this great country, let him now, in the quietude of his own conscience, kiss that flag which stands for such high and holy privileges and which guarantees every real American respectful treatment both in life and in death.
 'Will the American Legion liver Let the heart of pity and love make an- swer. Let the sister, the mother eye, perhaps some sweet faced girl, answer. Let the strong man, the man of power and wealth. and above all. the young manhood of America, read the declara- ton of principles of the American Le- zion; compare those declarations with the spirit evidenced in this funeral service and then answer to the ques- tion, 'Will the American Legion live?"

 AT EVERY MATINEE

The Strand has completed arrange ments under which the Florida orig fnal jzz will play every afternoon, starting today.

 Their initial appearance at the strand brought forth volumes of praise from the patrons, ana they have so firmly entrenched themselves in the hearts of Phoenix picture lovers that repeated requests have reached the management of the Strand to have them play every afternoon. Up to the present time, the band has played the Sunday matinees only. appearing every evening as well, but at no other matf- nee screenings throughout the week, The present plan means that they will be on hand every afternoon and every evening.

They have q complete library of the latest and most popular music, and are constantly adding to their repertoire. fact that at once establishes them with the public. for popular music has been proven the most enjoyable everywhere. The Flor ida Original jazz band is equally as ef- fective with the classics and semi classics and combining as they do all brands" of music. their popularity is a reward for sheer ability and merit.
 The Strands giant pipe organ will also be heard. the arrangement bring ing the musical atmosphere of the aft ernoon matinees to the same high standard as has always marked the evening shows at Phoenix handsome picture temple.

JOINT HEAD RESORT
 ATTRACTS VISITORS

Among the resorts in or near Phoe- nix which are numbered as the most popular amusement places in the Salt River valley is Joint Head The chief attractions are the dancing pavilion, which is one of the bes- of its kind in the state, and the swimming pool. The pool is very large, and is bordered with clean sand, representing the sea- shore. The pool is supplied by the constant flow of a large spring at it's bottom. It is absolutely safe. a life guard being kept there at all times.
 Those in charge at Joint Head draw attention to the fact that the resort has been misrepresented in some quar- ters. It has been alleged that the Tempe sewer empties into the river above the resort. This is not the casa as an examination will prove.

NO PRICE SLUMP IN ENGLAND
 nondon Times)

The reports of an extensive price cutting campaign in the United States aroused a good deal of interest in Lon don, but there are no mediate indf- cations that any similar movement VIII follow in this country. So far as the great retail store in London are con cerned, the view taken i5 that the American .'slump" will have no. effect on this side of the Atlantic. It Is pointed out that prices here have been lower than those prevailing in the United States, and profits are already cut so fine that substantial reductions are out of the question. The only chance of cheaper supplies apparently is in respect of a few articles which have been held in considerable quan- titles for export. Restrictions on credit are making 1t difficult for some of these stocks to be retained, and they may come on the market.

Goldwyn picture The Gay Lord Quex," which is featured at the Co., lumbia theater today and tomorrow, from the play of that name by Sir Ar thur Wing Pinero, Is an exceptionally strong cast composed for most part Of players who at one time or another have been featured in big productions.
 Tom Moore is by nature cheerful and of engaging personality. And if the business oe making love properly IS an art, then MT. Moore is indeed an artist, for QueX's performances in this line are frequent and eminently successful and at the same time de- cidedly masculine.
 As Muriel Eden, Gloria Hope is de lightful. The part calls for a sweet beautiful girl whose good influence and attractions are to bring Quex to a realization of the things worth while

in life, and Miss Hope more than meets the demand. Wistful, pure, and with a sincerity almost child like. Muriel is a character that fits admirably oppo- site the gay, irresponsible Quex.
 Naomi Childers has a most difficult role as the stately Duchess of Strood, but she carries it off with her usual cleverness. Her wonderful boise and charm are seen to great advantage in her dignifed yet almost pathetic at tempts to hold Quex's affections after his infatuation for Muriel.
 Hazel Dalya is seen as Sophie Full garney the little manicurist, whose quick mentality and skill at intrigue testify to her ability as the portrayer. Completing this unusual cast are P. H. Mccullough, Arthur Housnnan, Kate Lester, sydney Ainsworth, Kathleen Kirkham and Henry Miller, Jr.

Christian Science Monitor)
 It is reported that at the recent naval and military tournament in London the chargers of the Horse Guards and Lancers showed remarkable proficien- cy in their new jazz-like caracole around the arena to the strains of Missouri Waltz Surely, it is regret table enough for human beings to de- light in the eccentricities of jazz them . selves without thus perverting the tastes of highly intelligent animals! Fortunately for the horses, however, they appear to enjoy one peculiar ad vantage, for the report goes on to say that their dancing was accomplished with no loss to their superb grace and dignity"

It does not rely exclusively on it's thrills, although there are hundreds of them in the story, but rather on it's distinct appeal and it's interesting unfoldment, for it holds the attention glued to the screen throughout the screening. An other excellent feature is the fact that the clever cutter has seen to 1t that while each installment carries the story further on tis career, each in stallment is nevertheless complete in itself, offering episode in it's en- tirety with each showing.

Palestine Compared to Meso-

LONDON, Dec. 2o.-Sir Charles
Greenway, chairman of the Anglo
Persian Oil Company, in speech to-
day dealing with the oil controversy
between Great Britain and the United
States, said there was no question of
closing the door against America to
the worlds potential oil fields. He
said the Standard Oil Company before
the war claimed certain oil rights in
Palestine which would have the effect
OF neutralizing the complaints against
the British war-acquired rights in
N'eso'" mia The speech, according
to The Times, may be taken as repre-
senting the British official view Of the
controversy.
Sir Charles argued that if the Stan
dard Oil Company's rights in Palestine
were to be recognized the rights of
other nationals must be recognized.
He said nobody could reasonably object
to American producers claiming fair
share of the worlds oil supplies, but
every other country was entitled to
object to Americas demanding a per
manent 80 or So per cent of the world
