I'lleater, ''Crazy to Marry"
Feature at RialtO

believing that they are going to see a
picture which should make ccnsor's
holiday will be disappointed. The
picture is called SHAME" but it is
quite misleading title. EAST Is
East" would be more like it, we should
think, for it is q tale of rich man
who goes to live in the Orient, who
has a son, and VINO also marries a
little Chinese girl named Lotus Bios
som. When the son, David, grows to
manhood it is revealed to him that
his mother was Chinese woman.
This drives him frantic, and he finally
seeks oblivion in the Far North. How
ever. if he could have seen Lotus
Blossom we believe he would have
full! Anna May Wong played this
part, and it seemed a shame to have
to kill her off so early in the picture.
She is go decidedly good to look at.
SHANE refers to the feelings of the
hero when he learns that ne Is helf
Chinese. He didn't stop TO consider
that if there must be bar sinister it
might better be yellow than brown.
Perhaps our opinion was influenced by
the beauty of Lotus Blossom, but really
wa could not see that there was any
thing in the news which Foo Chang
brought to drive David insane, and
when he finally did tell his wife she
didn't mind much, either. Yet, after

other travellers who came along. He learned that the chief business of the men and teams was to pull out stalled machines. When a machine ap- preached the driver always hesitated and asked the apparently disinterest- ed bystanders whether. he could make it.
 '.Oh, yes'' was the ready reply; "step on the gas and you'll go through" But the harder he stepped on it the. deeper his plunge into the sand trap.
 When the victim found he was helpless he appealed to one Of the men with the teams and was told the toll was $2. It was later learned that if the driver had halted on the other side and had asked the face. he would have been told that the fare was s1. The extra dollar was the penalty for having tried to beat the wreckers out of a job.
 One man came so near making the crossing that the fore wheels of the machine emerged, but the hind ones were left revolving aimlessly in the deep sand. An exception was made in his case. He was given a pull of six feet for a $1.
 That is only part of the schedule; there is another. a sliding scale. If the driver looks prosperous and has pretentious machine there is fit ting price for extricating him. If he is roughly dressed or has a chear and battered machine he is let dowr with dollar.
 It is said that the revenues of that crossing amount to from $15 to $10t a day.

RECEIVE BIDS FUR PAVING THREE MILES
 OF TEMPE HIGHWAY

Bids were received at the office of the state highway department yes terday for paving the PhoenixT Tempe highway from the city limits east ward three miles to join with the concrete pavement already construct ed. Federal aid has been approved. the project being known as federal aid project No. 30.
 Nine bids were received. the low est being submitted by White and Miller for two-inch bitulithic wear ing surface on a four-in lasphalt concrete base. Their bid amounted to $74.374.0S. to which must be add ed $324.57 for materials furnished by. the state. making the total amount s74.69S.65. All other bids were fer concrete, five and one-half inches thick at the edges and six and one half inches thick at the center. The figures given below include s33.S96.75 for cement and s217.24 for concrete pipes and reinforcing steel furnished by the state. These bids total as follows:
 Lee Moor Co. Fl Paso. SIT, ,364.27 Jack Davey, Tucson. ..... 7S,069.99 O. c. McElrath, Mesa ...-.. 80.62779 Morgan, Ford & Co.,. Phx. S3.9SS.29 Goodman & Merrill, St. Da-
 Vld So,339.V9 DeWard & Gotham, Nogales SS.217.09 Kisselburg & Smith. Phoenix SS,553.39 McPeak, Burton & Brock
 man, Los Angeles ...... S9,090.99
 The pavement on which White and Miller submitted bid is similar to that being laid on number of streets in Phoenix but thicker. That used in Phoenix consists in some cases of a one and one-half inch wearing surface on a three ani one half inch base and in others of a one and one-half inch wearing sur face on a two and one-half inch base, the former having total thickness of five inches and the latter four. while that proposed to be use1 on the Tempe road would have a total | thickness of six inches.
 The five inch pavement in Phoe- nix has been costing from s2.30 to s2.55 per square yard and the four inch from S2.00 to S2.S0 per square yard with an additional charge of 25 cents to 45 cents per square yard for grading. The bid for the six-inch pavement on Tempe road is $2.25 per square yard. The additional cost of grading amounts to S7,S04.SO, most of which is for shoulders. If it is all charged to pavement, however, it would add approximately 25 cents per square yard to the cost of the pavement.
 The construction cost per mile amounts to less than s25.000 for ar eighteen-foot pavement with three foot shoulders and other incidental work. The present Maricopa county highway work is costing 23 per cent above the bids received yesterday or concrete paving. The bids received for the bitulithic paving are approx imately $2.50 per yard, including grading for this six-inch paving against a cost of approximately $s per yard for five inches of work ir the city of Phoenix. This shows 6 marked reduction in paving cost ir conformity with other dropping prices.

MOTOR|ST FINDS BUSINESS GOOD'AT
 RIVER CROSSING

D. J. Enfield, who lives at 1123 Grand avenue, returned yesterday morning from a trip to Prescott. He says he discovered at the crossing of the Agua Fria on the Black Can yon route near the station of Canyon, some lineal descendants of the wreckers who used to lure vessels ashore by means of false lights. He finds remote traces of this ancestry in. the fact that the men are engaged in the nearest approach to wrecking that can be attained in a non mari time region.
 He found the men with teams en- gagged in clearing the crossing of boulders large and small. The small CT ones, they lifted by hand and threw short way down stream, where there is a sort of causeway of step ping stones. The boulders too large to be handled are "snaked out by horses hitched to a chain and are dragged down next to the causeway
 There are therefore no boulders al 1 the crossing and the stream bringing down coarse sand from the nearby | hills deposits it at the crossing SC I that it is impossible for an automo- I bile to negotiate it. It would be pos l sible to cross over the boulders, bui | the banks of the stream are so steeI at the causeway and everywhere elss except at the crossing that they ar, | limited to the crossing.
 MT. Enfield sat in his machine ant | watched the workers and perceived the effect of their work and the pur | pose of it. Are you in the emplo, | of the state highway department?
 he asked.
 | "Oh. no" was the reply I've ar
 just doing this to help along"
