Usual winter increases in Illness are noted in the November report of the Maricopa County Health Center, recently submitted by Miss Etelka Weiss, nurse in charge. Nine hun dred and thirteen cases were on the center's list during the month. The report follows:
 The characteristic increase of ill., ness during winter was noticed dur ing November by the doctors and nurses at the Maricopa County Health Center. There were 106 new application for medical and nursing care, a total of 913 cases being on the active list during the month. Of this number 77 were dismissed, leav- ing S36 cases under care on the last day of the month.
 Problems were many and of all kinds. both social and medical. AL though IS free patients have been admitted to St. Joseph's's and the Deaconess hospitals for temporary care. many chronic patients are still without proper hospital care, there being no facilities in this county for the purpose. 4 general county hos pital or some large county wards in already existing hospitals would be of much benefit.
 There were A analyses made for the clinic at the two laboratories No charge is made for sputum ex- aminations and for analyses of sim- liar nature, but cost price is charged for X-ray plates. This is paid by the patient, except in cases

Babe Ruth at Strand

Babe Ruth continues to hold the spotlight Of attention. drawing crowded houses to the Strand at each screening of his starring picture "Headin' Home" as appealing and as wholesome story of youth and hap piness as one will ever seen on d pie ture screen.
 It is a blending of every element of the successful photoplay. Pathos and humor, happiness and romance, thrills and excitement, the spirit of American grit. there's the home and mother, sister and the small town environment, there's the ambitions and hopes of youth, the day dreams of lovers the spirit of friendship, the big wholehearted life story of a big wholehearted lad who believed in clean living, fair play and a square deal to all
 It more than bears out all the ad- vance claims that "Babe" Ruth is an accomplished actor. He makes a better screen appearance than many of the so-called cinema players, he carries away high honors as a star of the first water, and his production must rank as one of the really worth while pictures of the season.
 It is the story of young fellow who incurred the displeasure of a small town, through his activities in a baseball game in which a rival club beat the home guards. True it was that the lad applied for a place on

happiness brought about not by the wife after marriage but by the hus- band before the nuptial vow. It de- fends women, and denouces the law which says a man may do as he pleases before marriage and then demand that the woman he takes for wife shall be one whose passt is above reproach.
 Sir Arthur Wing Pinero has long since been counted one of the most brilliant satirists contributing to modern literature, but is is indeed doubtful if even this wizard ever constructed a more searching plot than ''rhe Profligate," from which "The Truth About Husbands" is adopted.
 The characters prominent in the unfolding of the theme are a young wife, and a husband, a man whom the wife believes is the heart and soul of homo. He has proven a model husband. He dearly loves the woman he married, but there's a woman whose heart knew only grief the day thai her sweetheart became the husband of another. And. this is the woman whom Pinero brings into the story. It is the truths re- vealed in the unfortunate's story that give the central plot of "The Truth About Husbands" its tremendous force and compelling influence. It is the very essence of originality and directness, startling expose of things a woman learns after mar riage, not before, a staggering blow to the double standard. a document that takes its place as Cne of the most exceptional cinemas now before the public.

 Cortilli's circus, with real clowns, acrobats, trained animals and every thing that goes to make up a real tent show played to crowded house last night.
 A feature of the show was Georges dog and goat act The dogs are billed as the dogs that do everything and they live up to the billing. Pos sessing an intelligence nearly human they are beyond a doubt the best troupe on the road today.
 Cortilh the worlds greatest aero bat late of Ringing Bros, gives an exhibition of hand balancing that is way above the average of such acts.
 Vietta, the little Georgia Magnet, presents an illusion act that nlysti- fies the beholder. She is the little lady that makes them fly and float in mid-air. See this act and guess how she does it.
 These extra attractions are being offered at regular house prices, the management feeling that the extra patronage will more than carry the extra expense incurred in bringing them here.
 These extra features will remain here for the rest of the week giving a kiddies matinee Saturday with an admission price of 10 cents for any child.

of absolute poverty, when the Health Center assumes the expense. Twenty doses of salvarsan were given at the clinic in addition to other medication in an effort to combat venereal dis eases. This is one of the most inn portant functions of the Health Gen. ter. The salvarsan Is furnished by the state.
 Several dyphtheria cases were found by the nurses, in many in stances necessitating the administra- ton of dyphtheria toxin. In 12 cases this vaccine was given through the clinic, furnished by the city health department.
 The field service was very heavy during November, the nurses having made 3ss nursing and social service calls. This was due to the large amount of acute illness necessitating bedside care In addition to the nurses calls, the physicians made many calls to patients homes with out making any charge.
 There was a total attendance of 25S patients at the clinic. Some days there are only four or five, while some days there are 30 or more When one realizes that it takes 20 or 30 minutes to give an ordinary examination, one realizes the extent of service rendered by the doctors.
 The clinics are held at S:3O a. m and at l p. m. The schedule is as follows:
 Monday and Wednesday, eye, ear nose and throat, S:30 a. m. Tuesday and Friday, general medi. cine, S:50 a. m.; G. U., D. m. Wednesday and Thursday, genera medicine, S:S0 a. m-; tuberculosis ana asthma 1 D. m.

ADJUSTMENTS
MAY ROBSON AT TIE HKS TONIGHT FUR
 LAST APPEARANCE

Among the most successful plays af the season. Tt Pays To Smile" |" unique comedy written by Nina Wilcox Putnam, bids fair to hold first place.
 The story was published in serial form in the Saturday Evening Post and Augustus Pitou, Inc, at once secured the dramatic rights feeling certain it was winner for Miss Robson It's a droIl, quaint comedy with wonderful situations, thrilling ciimaXes and a heart interest from start 10 finish.
 Miss Robson plays the part of a middle aged New England spinster who is. through financial embarrass- ment forced to earn her living.
 Many of the very pathetic, serious scenes are the most ludicrous
 Miss Robson does not have to de- pend on dialogue for her delightful comedy, she gets laughs out of a twist of the head or a movement of the hand and as Freedom Talbot one of Boston's 400" she is giving the most perfect delineation of any of her past successes.
 The story is a new theme and is really enlightening for it deals with the abduction of one of the old Ital- Ian masterpieces "The Madonna of he Lamp painted by Raphael.
 The reverence that all Italians have for these works of art, is brought out very forcibly in an intricate plot and the unravelling of 1t is a mixture of tragedy, pathos and comedy. The three acts are laid in Boston and California
 Augustus Pituo. Inc, has as usual, spent lavishly in making Tt Pays To Smile" a production second to none on the road today.
 Miss Robson is always surrounded by company of ladies and gentle men whose ebility is tested and tried out and found adequate in every sense
 This delightful comedy will be at The Elks Theatre for the last time tonight at S:15.

 THE R|A[TO TODAY

For the final screenings today, the Rialto announces "The Truth About Husbands" the production which was adopted by First National from Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's noted "The Profligate"
 The picture serves es an excellent starring production for Mary Me- Avoy. whose cleverness and feeling in emotional registrations have proven the wonder in picture circles.
 ''The Truth About Husbands" is a fearless document which boldly discusses an entirely new angle to the double standard. It takes up the thread of the theme. and contrasts the results often realized against the hopes anticipated, conditions of ur-

 American nightly this week. It's "big league stuff and the Revue is
 of the class that if it were in a
