WOULD ESTABLISH
 CAME PRESERVE

C. A. Patterson, while on his trip to Phoenix recently, saw Game War den Prochaska and discussed with him the possibility of establishing a game preserve in Mohave County in the Wallapai Mountains, about IS miles south of Kingman. The Tucson Cit izen in mentioning the matter said:
 Prochaska favors the establishment of the Hualapai sanctuary.
 "I have never been in the Hualapai mountains" he said, land I do not know if the conditions there are suit able for the propagation of game of wild fowl. If, however, the sports men of Mohave County desire that such a refuge be established, l will do all I can toward that end. The size of one section wide and three long is about right. I am opposed to large reserves, such as the one in Greenlee county which takes up all most the entire county. I favored the establishment of the Catalina re- serve for the reason that it allowed the game to wander out on adjoining range, thus providing an opportunity for sport"
 As a starter for the proposed re- serve Prochaska promised to send a flock of young wild turkeys to Pat terson at an early date, and these will be planted" in the Hualapai mountains.

DOC DAYS" AND BATHING . GIRLS AT LANG'S THEATRE

Henry Lang has secured special attraction for his theatre for next Wednesday night, January 28-the picture Dog Days" with the young ladies appearing in person after the showing of the picture in song and dance review. A special stage will be erected for the occasion. In se- curing this bill MT. Lang felt that the price was high but inasmuch as it is an innovation from the usual run of things he thought he would take it on, as the towns of Oatman and Needles both wanted the attraction and it was necessary for Kingman to come in too in order to bring it to the county. The press agent for the show says:
 The personal appearance of the famous bathing beauties assuredly marks an epoch in the history of your favorite moving picture theatre. These athletic girls are, not profes- sional stage beauties, the kind that is grease painted and artificially eye browed. They are youthful queens of nature, selected after an exhaustive country wide search of the bathing beaches and natatoriums, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in an effort to discover the most beautiful and startl- ing bevy of REAL bathing beauties in all America. Each girl is a superb d4er and swimmer being possessed of astonishing prowess in mastering the water. Each one is medal winner in acquatic competition. And then add youth, beauty, personality, shapliness, grace with a perennial smile, and you have the perfect bathing girl-the girls that will appear on the screens in the great new sea side comedy "Dog Days" and they appear in per son before your very eyes at Lang's Theatre.
