 REMARKABLE PLAY

There Is no doubt that "Smilin' Thru which was given its first presentation in Phoenix yesterday at the Elks. theater by the Bainbridge- Karns company, touches the high water mark of excellence among. all the plays ever presented in. Phoenix by stock company. There must be confidence in the ability of a com pany to attempt to present such a play, and the fact that it gripped the audience as it did and sent the peo- pie home feeling that they had seen one of the best plays of all their lives is proof of it's quality and the ability of the company at the Elks.
 When Allan Langdon Martin wrote "Smilin' Thru" he fashioned some thing different. a play with delicious humor, a touch of the supernatural and a punch" which combine in an unusual comedy drama which should be seen by everyone in Phoenix. who appreciates a real play. If there are not big houses at the Elks all the week they might as well close up the tf1eater, for nothing finer can be pre- sented.
 "Smilin' Thru" tells the love story of Kathleen Dungannon and Kenneth Wayne. But Kathleen's old uncle John Carteret is bitterly opposed to Kenneth. and finally one day, seated in the garden, he tells the girl why Suddenly the lights go out. the cur tain descends, and when it rises again, the characters and the story have gone back 50 years
 It is the night of John Carteret's marriage Kathleen's mother is to be his bride. But Jeremiah Wayne father of Kenneth and discarded suitor. interrupts the wedding party intoxicated, and kills the bride. As she dies in the arms of John Car teret she promises that she will come back to him. And she does. Ina is another gripping part of the play
 Ruth Saville is given her frs real chance this week as an actress She makes Kathleen a sweet, de lightful Irish girl. In her wedding gown of 50 years ago she is a pic

No Hubb5es to

 Wont Day Oft

A unique method of asking their boss for. one afternoon off each week was adopted by a number of young women em- ployed in one of the business offices in this city. The effect of the request, which was written in the form of a resolution, on their boss is not known although he promised the young women he would consider the matter. The resolution presented by the business girls is as follows and it speaks for itself:
 "Whereas: The ladies em- ployed in our office have been heretofore, and are yet unsuc- cessful in the field of matrimony and their salaries are inadequate to meet the present high cost of living, and the necessary ex- pense of laundry work and hav- ing no husbands at home or eIse- where to do this work and being compelled at present to consume all of their Sunday holidays to devote to this very necessary work and thereby losing the op- portunity of meeting with the good Christian women who have husbands AT HOME, we re- spectfuIIy petition sour honor able self that you h s-eafter al low all female empsoyes of this company one afternoon off each week that they may take their weekly bath and starch up their laundry for another week of toiID

 Kate Mahoney was not giving anybody jewels. She wouldn't even rive her husband car fare; she made nim walk. So. when we learned he mad paper giving him power of at- forney over her property, though it vas signed with her name, We weren't surprised to learn it was a forgery. But this only deepened the suspicion that she was dead and that he had killed her. There was plenty of that sort of evidence.

 "Mahoney said his wife was east; shed gone to Cuba.

 "A few telegrams that I shot east discovered that she hadn't been with him there, so her body wasn't there. Her truck was gone, we found the congressman who had hauled 1t, and about the same time discovered a bill charged to Mrs. Mahoney for a 30- foot rope and five pounds of lime.
 "Mahoney had bought the rope and lime, and charged them to his wife's account.

 "The expressman took us to the place on the Lake Union shore where he had helped a man haul trunk from the Mahoney apartment, and the rest was easy. He had seen the man shove off into the lake with the trunk in a small white rowbOat-

Matrimonial Age Limits

James B. Cooper, of Jackson
vile, Florida, is being sued for
$4,000 by a woman whom he re-
fused to marry after promising to
do SO. He gives as his reason for
breaking his engagement the fact
that he is sixty-6ve years of age
and has decided after mature de.
liberation that he is too old to
marry again.
Others seem to take a different
view as to the proper age limits Of
matrimony. At any rate Mr.
Frank Lindsey, of Baltimore, who
is lob years old has just proposed
to New York woman of 1OC
summers. The young lady is re.
ported to be considering the mat
ter seriously, and it is though,
that they may make match Of it

From a Small Beginning


When George Washington was
engaged in laying out the beauti-
full city which was to bear his
name, he had much trouble with
one David Burns, an irascible
Scotch farmer whose homestead
was located on the proposed site,
At one time as they were argu-
ing the matter, the fiery old man
lost his temper and said: eff ii
had not been for the beautiful
Widow Custis and her many ne.

anything but a land surveyor, and
a very poor surveyor at that"
1t may or may not have beer

would have lost The great oppor-
tunity by giving way to this in-
clination.
Ideals in unending procession
pass before the minds of our chill
dren; yet few are actually &C
cepted and taken into their lives.
We have foolishly imagined that
by much talking we could literally
force our children to take them in.
The hope is vain. Nature has de-
creed a different process. Nor do
teachers have any more opportu-
mites to fix these unwritten rules
of action in our children's lives
than do we who are parents.

Without Home or Friends

To be among strangers in a
strange city and broke" is not a
pleasant situation. A young man
from New York who found him
self in this plight few days ago
in Seattle spent his last cent in
running an advertisement to the
effect that he would give himself
away to whomsoever would pro-
vide him food and lodging. He
held that since even the dumb
beasts receive this reward, he was
entitled to as much,-especially in
view of his personal guarantee Of
faithful service upon pain of being
driven out whenever he failed to
render it.

Serving Not God but Mamnon

ously as yet. They are worshiper.
not OF one god, but Of many. In
deed. the shrines of these false
gods are very numerous in their
villages and cities. One that is
held in great esteem in the indus
trial sections is Ebisu, the god Of
wealth. In Toxic the shrine of
this god was visited on the japan.
ese New Years Day by seventy
thousand persons, who beat upon
the walls with wooden mallets and
called upon the deity to send them
riches during the new year. He

For Preserving Citron

Peel the melon, cut in strips, re-
move the seeds and seed pulp, and
cut into convenient pieces. Let
this stand in very cold water for
an hour. Then cover with fresh
water and cook slowly until clear
and tender. Use no salt or alum.
Ii the melon is to be made into
preserves, make syrup of sugar
and water, half and half. The
cooked pieces should be simmered
in this syrup about half-hour and
then sealed in steriliged jars. The
syrup remaining after a jar Of cit
ron has been used is wonderful for
minced pies and pudding sauces.
If you wish to candy the citron,
simply make the syrup richer by
making the proportion read three
fourths sugar to one-fourth water.
After a half hours simmering re-
move the pieces, roll in granulated
sugar and put on a screen in =
well-ventilated place until the cit
ron seems dry. Then roll in more
sugar and pack in rather tight
boxes.
Slices Of lemon, or spices may
be added to the preserves if pre-
ferred, but it is delicious just
plain.

Humble Deeds of Peace

A year or two ago. the city clerk
of Langley, Washington, as sort
of practical joke, posted on the
very day Of election new ticket
headed by woman, Miss Helen
B. Coe, and including the names
of two other women as alderman,
to oppose the old administration,
which was hopelessly inefficient.
By some chance, the new ticket
was elected; and the women went
about it to clean up the town.
They put the village pool hall, a
notorious den of vice, out of bust
ness. They got the townsfolk out
TO fix up the streets, following the
days work with banquet. They,
themselves, nailed down new
boards in old sidewalks about the
village. They cleaned up the GEM
etery, closed vicious Sunday
movie, had roads and bridges re-
paired, planted trees and otherwise
beautifed the little place.
Another election was held a
short time since. The old pool
hall element resorted to every
means to break the women's power
but to no avail. Their majority
was nearly as overwhelming as
was that of Harding last year.

That the people of America who

President Harding is indicated by
his recent speech at William and
Mary College in Virginia.
He insisted that our nation faces
an educational crisis but that there
is no real ground for pessimism or
misgivings. Further, he said:
AS long as the eagerness for educa-
ton outruns the country's most
generous provisions of facilities,
there is assurance that we are
progressing and not going back

better teachers; and to get them
the profession must be compen.

A Lady Fire Pilot

Lorraine Lindsey, the first wo-
man observer on the range-and
the second woman to attempt such
work, served as fire lookout on
the peak of Medicine Bow Range
in the Rocky Mountains during
the forest fire search which closed
recently.
The observatory is a little over
twelve thousand feet in elevation
with daily climb of fifteen hun
dred feet from the Lookout Lake
cabin where Miss Lindsey lived by
herself. 1t was by no means an
easy climb. There is no road to
the top, no trail; the going is over
slides Of rock, over slippery patch
es of muddy grass, through the
slush of melting SHOWS.
The observatory is only eight by
ten feet with glass windows on all
sides; is cabled by heavy rods to
the mammoth rocks upon which
it is perched. It is connected with
the outside world by telephone,
and Miss Lindsey can communicate
with Laramie, Wyoming, with the
forest ranger, or with Washing
ton, DC.
During Miss Lindsey's first
three weeks as a fire pilot she To-
Gated seven smokes which denoted
fire. The fire season is Of short
duration, however. It usually
closes early in October, or as soon
as there is a foot or more of snow
in the mountains.

Teacher Sets Coed Example


A class was reciting lesson in
American history in school and
had reached the story of Nathan
Hale, the young officer of Wash
|ington's army who was captured
by the British and put to death as
a spy.
The dramatic story had been
brought out skillfully by the teach
er who had called upon various
children for interesting points
found by them outside the text
book. The sentence of death pro-
nounced without trial, the refusal
to permit the prisoner either to see
q minister or to have Bible in
his last hours, and the destruction
Of the farewell letter to his mother
were narrated in order. Finally
the climax of the tragic story was
reached when, after he bad been
led forth to be shot, he said as he
stood before the firing squad: ri
only regret that l have but one
life to give to my country"
The minds of the class as this
point was reached, were held by
the spell that had been woven
around them. Az the last words
OF the martyred soldier were given,
q breathless stiffness, which was
unbroken for a minute or more,
settled over the group.
The provision for this moment
OF silent reflection, while interest is
at white heat as the child comes
face to face with an ideal, is one of
the touches that distinguish the
capable from the incapable teach
er. These children were witness
ing the high ideals Of patriotism
and unselfsh service working
themselves out under the most
tragic circumstances. Nor did the
teacher spoil the lesson which they
were unconsciously drawing from
it either by talking about it her.
self or by permitting anyone else
t. talk about it, Such course
would have been fatal to her high
purpose; yet most persons, whether
teachers, preachers or parents,
