SUMMER READERS IN
 PRESCOTT SHOW BIG
 LOANS FOR LIBRARY

Two hundred fifty-two volumes were added to the book-shelves of the Prescott city library during the year just closed, according to the figures of the l2 monthly reports of the librarian, Mrs. D. L. Mann, for 1921. Of this number, 13l were pur- chased by the library, l22 being fic- ton books bought from the library's fiction fund, and nine non-fiction books, including the two volumes of H. c. Wells Outline of History. One hundred twenty-one volumes of the total were donated to the library during the year by patrons, 105 fic- ton books and six volumes of non fiction making this amount. Of the 105 fiction books, 9S were juvenile fiction given the library by Junior Hildrethe
 A steady increase from the first of the year to the late autumn months is shown by the librarians reports of book loans made to the patrons of the library. From Sep tember to the end Of the year, loans show a slight decline from the fig ures for the summer months, though not declining as low as those for the carly spring months. From this, 1t is apparent that the library is pat ronized more during the vacation period than at any other time of the year. The figures for the F months are: Loaned. Bought.

JAZZ SKIDDING OUT.
 OF PUBLIC APPROVAL

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-"The jazz" is slowly but surely going into the dis card, according to statement issued here by Fentpn Bolt of Dayton, O., director of dance reform of the American National Association, Mas ters of Dancing.
 The fox-trot' is the dance that receives the most abuse by the dancer" said the statement, "and it is the fox-trot' music as written and played ill jazz fashion, that causes the dancer to abuse this popular dance. There is nothing wrong with the 'fox-trot or the steps in the fox trot,' but it is a conceded fact among all teachers of dancing that the ori- ental SuggestiveneSs and broken time in the fox-trot jazz music, together with the lack of sufficient supervis- ion, is responsible for the downward trend of the dance.

OFFSHORE CREWS CLING TO SHIPS
 IN BOAT CRISIS

LONDON, Jan. 7-'The shipping slump is not only responsible for the laying-up of many steamers, but has created class of crews which never come ashore if it can be avoided. There are so few ships now going into commission that a crew once aboard elects to stay there on the return to the home port rather than risk not being engaged again.
 It is asserted by officials of the mercantile service that one-fifth of the British seamen are unemployed, including 1000 captains and ship of ficers. Many of the latter have en- deavored to take subordinate posi- tionS on vessels rather than not be employed at all.
 Many ships are said to be running at loss ill the hope of keeping the carrying trade between certain ports, in English hands.

FRANK OLZER CHARGED WITH
 NUN N-SUPP0RT
Defendant in Separate Mainte- nance Suit Believed Beyond
 Grasp of Court in Civil Action Made Defendant Criminal Case
iFrom Saturdays Daily)

Frank J. Olzer, proprietor of the Arizona Saddlery company, the de fendant in a suit for separate main tenance, filed late last year by his wife, Flora A. Olzer, yesterday was formally charged with felony, to- wit, non-support of his wife. Su- perior Judge Richard Lamson, switching over to the criminal bench for the time, issued the warrant upon application of C. (. Norton, counsel for Mrs. Olzer, after 1t had been vir- tually admitted that in the civil ac- ton, involving money considera- tion. it was impossible to obtain valid service as long as Mir. Olzer remained without the jurisdiction of the court.
 The order granting the. warrant is sued after Mrs. Olzer had gone on the stand and testified that she had not received support from Olzer fol- lowing his sudden and unexplained departure from this city on Novem- CT II last. On cross-examination, she admitted that she had cashed a check made out to the company ot which her husband is head, and that the sum, about $190, had been used by her since Olzer left But that wss not enough to pay my doctor bill" Mrs. Olzer explained.
 County Attorney Sullivan had in dicated a disinclination to support the move of Mrs. Olzer for crim- indl warrant the day before when Justice of the Peace McLane re- fused to take action without the ap- ptoval of the prosecutor. At that time, counsel for Mrs. Olzer con sidcred asking the superior court for writ Of mandate to oblige the jus7 tice court to issue the required war rant but this line of procedure was abandoned in favor of presentation of evidence before Judge Lamson, who was empowered as a magistrate to issue a warrant forthwith upon a showing satisfactory to the court that the law had been violated.
 Deputy County Attorney Westcr- veit entered a form of resistance to the proceedings aiid cross-Questioned the witness, who included as well as tine plaintiff and complaining wit ness, Mrs Olzer, her daughter, Helen Pierce Mir Wcstervclt drew the ad- mission that instead of MT Olzer supporting Mrsk ;OlzeS- 1t was prac- tically tie other way around that 0lzer had boarded at the restaurant of which Mrs Olzer was the re- puted head and had lived at the rooming house where she was sup posed to preside. Her testimony re- vealed that the restaurant was owned by w. L. Richards and that the profits thereof were much in use to defray the deficits of the rooming house MT. and Mrs. Olzer then, it appeared, existed under a sort of agreement and Mrs. Olzer thought she was helping her husband save for a home.
 But he told me it was not for a home he married" she said
 In her proceedings for separate maintenance, Mrs. Olzer asks for an award of $500 a month, alleging her husbands income is about $500 month and that he IS worth over $30,000 ill his business and real estate here.
