WIND MACHINES
Make WRECK
FOR MOVIE STORM

CTORM scenes in motion pictures are
- by no means unusual. but William
Christy Cabanne steps forth with the
claim that his latest Robertson Cole
super special. '.Live and Let Live"
unreels by all odds the most furious
storm ever converted to film.
1t seems almost unbelievable as one
watches the lashing branches Of the
trees; the streaks Of. lightning which
seem to rend the heavens asunder and
the furious onslaught Of the rain, that
this battle of the elements is the work
of human hands.
Mr.. Cabanne probably took greater
pains with this scene than has ever
heretofore been lavished on storm
shots" in motion pictures. How the
episode was filmed Is Of great interest
for it gives an inkling Of the care
and caution used in the making Of
modern pictures.
A y ENTIRE city block wGs marked
~ off for the use of Mr.. Cabanne.
Then were set up batteries of wind ma
chimes strong enough to blow a terrific
gale. Fire hose and lights were set In
position and then the work began. The
downpour deluged the neighborhood, the
"ightning" flashed rs If it came
straight from. the blue heavens above,
and the winds blew with almost as
much vigor as Kansas cyclone. Five
cameras were used in recording the ac-
tion and the scene was done over again
to insure its perfection.
Work on the scene began early in the
evening and II was not until early the
next morning that the cameras stopped
grinding and the weary company went
home 10 rest, IN

 COMPLETE HIGHWAY.

A legislative appropriation to com
 plete the state highway from Prescott to Phoenix is urged in a report of a special committee Of the Yavapai county chamber of commerce. copy of which was forwarded to the Phoenix chamber. Support of the Phoenix chamber is requested. The highway is a part of the state network of roads,
 the communication says, but the state discontinued all maintenance thereon
 about three mouths ago owing to the
 lack of funds.
 At a recent meeting of the board of
 supervisors of Yavapai county it was
 unanimously decided that maintenance
 work should be carried on, current exx penses for the work to be paid by the
 county, and the state billed for the amount so expended. Cooperation of the Maricopa county board of super visors in the matter of securing legis- lative relief was sought in a resolution adopted by the Yavapai chamber. The special committee also reeom- mended the immediate circulation of a l petition in Yavapai county urging the 1 legislature and the governor to appro- l priate the funds necessary to complete the construction of this highway 1 through to Phoenix as originally | planned. Maintenance funds for that 1 portion of the road already completed also are asked. Action on the pro- posals of the Yavapai chamber will be ! taken by the board of directors of the l Phoenix chamber at their meeting l Wednesday noon. Secretary Harry Welch announced

 This amendment was adopted after it had been amended by the provision that the other sources'' should not ln- clude state appropriation or taxation In the meantime the Eddy amendment was allowed to stand, so that it ap- peared later that d new sum Of St5,0Oo had been infected into the bill, making necessary a revision of the total, and Mir. Eddy moved to amend the bil1<by substituting S1,050 900 for $975,0oO. It was then that the rejected Cochise item came to be described as float ing sum-" and Mir. McMillan showed signs of starting after it. The chase led to it's elimination as q floating or general item and the item was stricken out
 The first and only test of strength came when the item appropriatinS s200. 900 for the Miami Superior high way was reached. After some inde- cisive viva vooe and rising voting, a roll call was taken and the friends and enemies of the bill found themselves lined up as follows:
 Ayes--Claypool, Curtin, Eddy, Lar son, Lines, McMillan, Saunders. Schlei- ner. Scott, MT. Presidential. Nays-Cull, Goode,. Hedrick, Mor- gan, sims, Stoddard, Woodward-I- Messrs. Burton and Elliott were ab- sent.
 Other Items Agreed On All other items of the bill were agreed to without division as follows;

 me appropriations committee had Ieuuced the total appropriation to soVo'o00 and had cut down the contin- ulhs appropriation to cents instead or ID cents. A minority report had iaVofed the original bill, but neither report had been acted upon by the senate. Both were brush that was hastily cut away when the whole com inlttee took up the bill yesterday in Der 6s.
 There was good deal of prelim- mary skirmishing led for the opposi- tion by pr. Sims and for the bill by senator Larson, the Signer of the mi nority report.
 The total of the bill was made up of several appropriations. each for some specific highway. When the sec ond item was reached appropriatine P S15,0o0 for the construction of the necessary roads and bridges from Fair banks, Cochise county, Arizona, to the santa Cruz county line. provided that a portion of this s75.O0O may be used m paying the cost of the construction or the Douglas -Rodeo highway, sec ton two. between Bernardino, Ariz. and the state line near Rodeo, N.

The appropriation came to be described "rioatinf fund" Senator Eddy took it up ana moved that inasmuch as Cochis' did not want this bagatelle it be gen orally appropriated to be used for thu construction of highways where none! was scarcer than in Cochise.
