must not forget to keep the eccen-
tricities of the camera in mind. The
eyes should be large and dark and
set wide apart. Cheek bones must
not be high. The upped lip must not
be too short and the chin should not
show tendency to recede. Any face
is automatically eliminated that has
a large mouth or a square jaw. A
round face is better than pro-
nounced oval. The nose must fit the
face. A classic set of features de-
mands distinguished nose, but a lit
tie turned-up nose may be very
charming on a small round face.

The Earth's Core.

Ara meeting of the chronological
association at The Hague recently
Prof. wiechert asserted that MS
studies of the varying velocity OF the
earthquake tremors passing through
the interior of the globe led to the
conclusion that the earth consists OF
a central core of iron or steel about
$3.50 miles in diameter. surrounded
by a stony shell $50 miles in thick
ness. Between the outer solid rind
and the inner layer of rock covering
the metallic core he thinks there is
a layer of liquid or plastic material

MOT long ago Miss Fernandez spent
~ four weeks visiting stock COM
panies playing in little towns around
Boston, thinking that should be a
fertile field for beauty and brains.
But, although she worked day and
night, she found only one girl in all
that time who gave any promise of
being go much as a possibility. She
was from Lowell and had been want

like a big mountain, can be incon-

may be hidden in it's heart. Many
times a day she wonders where in
the world the beautiful girls have
gone.
The trouble with most faces, accord

are fiat. The features run into each
other. They lack distinction. There
is no startling beauty of eyes or
mouth or general ensemble. They

is due to the fact that the young
women have no souls. Many, she
finds, have no brains. And if one hap
pens to have soul or brains or sym

be afflicted with pale blue eyes or a
crooked nose. Some who might have
been good-looking have spoiled their
faces by setting out in a determined

KEEPS HIS PROMISE
 TO KILL HIMSELF

Informed in a letter received by mornings mail that his uncle, Francis Marion Morris, contemplated suicide, B. F. Morris took the letter to the police station, and accompanied by two officers hurried to the elder Nor ris' room in a South Eighth street rooming house.
 The officers knocked on the door. There was no response and an effort was made to break in. Just as the door was forced open a shot was heard, and when the officers and neph- ew entered, they found the old man on the floor, with bullet wound in his head. He died a few minutes later.
 "It's no use. It isn't worth the candle" read the note received by the nephew. "You will find the coat and pants and underclothes in back of the large suit case, and the watch in the suitcase pocket. Have no Masonic functions. The cost is too much. Get as cheap box as possible"
 The older Morris was 67 years old, and was unemployed. Besides the nephew, he has other relatives outsid of the state, Coroner Henry J. Sulli- van, who conducted on inquest said. The jury returned verdict of self inflicted death. - Phoenix Gazette.

SOLONS REPEAL BILL
 INIMICAL TO STATE SCHOOLS

Of special benefit to the university and the Normal schools is that action of the legislature in passing Senate Joint Resolution 2. This resolution re- peals a measure passed in the regu- lar session submitting to the people a constitutional amendment which if adopted would place the university, the two normal schools and the state industrial school under the super vision of the state board of education.
 It was explained by Senator Eddy that the inclusion of the university and the normal schools was one of the mysteries of the closing hours of the regular session. It was not the in tention to so include them, he said, and no one could explain how the clause was included.
 Further explanation was made by Senator Woodward to the effect that the passage of the resolution would clear the way for the initiation of another constitutional amendment to be drawn up by the school people and presented at the general election.

WOODRUFF MAN IS
 KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT

A very sad accident occurred in the southern part of the county on We'd nesday when Alonzo w. Savage met an untimely end. "Lon" Savage and V. D. Smith, working as forest rang CTS, were inspecting the territory called Post Office Hill on the Apache Indian Reservation, fifteen miles from Whiteriver.
 There was high wind and MT. Smith left MT. Savage in the car on the hill while he went back to in- spect some telephone wires that were swaying dangerously in the wind, and when he returned to the spot where he had left his companion he was hor- rified to see the automobile over turned with a body beneath it. The accident had caused death at once.
 Post Office Hill is extremely rocky and very precipitous. It must always be matter of more or less conjecture as to just what happened. It will never be known whether his brakes gave way or something else happened that sent him hurting head-long over the malapi boulders to his death. - Holbrook News.

WHAT MOONSHINE
 DOES AT PHOENIX

Officers removing liquor from the court house "booze-room" for destruc- tion, by order of Superior Judge Stan- ford, rubbed their eyes and looked again, when one of them lifted a demi- john from corner and uncovered a healthy looking gopher snake at least yard long.
 Wondering whether the unan- nounced occupant wasn't a delusion born of the strong aroma of moon- shine whiskey, one of the deputies prodded him with cautious foot and the coiled visitor proved to be no remnant of the once prevalent jag. He uncoiled leisurely, cut nifty fig ure eight, Tipped its tail at the depu- ties, and glided away with a decided ly maudlin wiggle.
 Later, in the court house yard, some 200 gallons of moonshine were poured away, representing all the liquor used in cases which have been disposed of in the superior court since December 31, last. Containers ranged all the way from pint bottles to regular demi- johns, including jugs, jars, fruit bot ties, barrels and cans.
 The last pint bottle to be smashed contained live mouse. - Phoenix Gazette.

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
IDAHO MAN PAID
 $1,O00 FOR NASH CAPTURE

Governor Thomas E. Campbell yesterday approved the claim of Frank s. Faurot, deputy sheriff at Weiser, Idaho, to the reward offered by the state amounting to LOGO for the arrest and conviction of the slay- CT of Martin Schwab, and passed it on to the state auditor so that a warrant could be drawn to the order of Faurot. According to the claim, Harry Nash, who was convicted of the murder of Schwab and sentenced to serve from 65 to 75 years in the state prison, was arrested in Los An geles through advices furnished by Faurot.
 Faurot, who was deputy sheriff at Weiser, Idaho, following the mur- der of Schwab, near Flagstaff, saw Nash driving through that town in a Chandler car with a battered Utah license on it. Faurot trailed his man to Los Angeles where officers from the sheriff's office in that city made the arrest, upon telegraphic advice from Sheriff Campbell of Coconino county. Nash was brought back to Flagstaff and convicted of the charge. The motive of the crime is thought to have been robbery. Schwab was a travelling salesman and his body was found buried in an abandoned we'll near Flagstaff.

ARIZONA GUARD
 STANDS AT HEAD

In the recent annual inspection of the units of the national guard in the Eighth army corps area, Battery E of Mesa and Battery D of Flagstaff, both of the 158th field artillery, Arizona national guard, were accredited by the adjutant of the area as being the two best national guard units in the area, according to word received yes- terday by Col. Walter s. Ingalls,, ad- jutant general, from the headquarters of the corps at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
 The Eighth army corps area con- sists of several of the states of the southwest, including Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. The ranking of the units was made from the report of the inspector of the units following an inspection of each unit in the state held during the month of March. In speaking of Battery k Of Mesa, the report stated as follows:
 "The corps area commander is very much gratified to note in the annual armory inspection report of this unit that it stands in the first rank of na- tional guard organizations of this corps area in the care of federal property and satisfactory completion of records as well as above the aver age in many other reports. It is de- sired to point out that the record re- ferred to discloses that Battery E. is to be especially commended for it's high average in attendance at drills and instruction"
 The report for Battery D of Flag staff was identical with that for Bat tery E.. These are the only field ar tillery units in the state and the re- mainder of the units in the 158th field artillery are located in Colorado.

EFFECTIVE FOG SIGNALS

In heavy fog there is danger of collision between ships because the uniform signals used merely indicate their presence, and tell nothing of their course or direction. A sea cap tain of long experience has now de- vised system which overcomes this difficulty, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Four signal horns of diff ferent tones are used, two sirens, a shrill whistle, and a steam gong, all of which are operated by foot levers. Each of these corresponds to one quadrant of the compass, and is oper- ated only when the ships course lies In that general direction. The four divisions of the quadrant itself are Indicated by varying the signals, as, for example, one long blast. long and short, a long and two short, and two long. A recording mechanism is connected to the signal equipment and serves as evidence in case of subse- quent question as to the handling of the ship.

FILM COMPANY IS
 UNDECIDED ABOUT
 ARBUCKLE PICTURES

The question of whether motion pictures showing Roscoe c. (Fatty) Arbuckle will be shown again is one to be determined by the board ot directors of the Famous Players Lasky corporation. whose headquar. ters are in New York. it was stated late today by Cecil B. DeMille, di- rector general of the corporation upon being informed that Arbuckle had been acquitted of manslaughter in San Francisco.
 The pictures were withdrawn by the Lasky corporation soon after Ar buckles arrest, last September, in con- nection with the death of Miss Vir- rinia Rappe, motion picture actress. Mir. DeMille said no arrangements had been made for release of the pictures in the event of an acquittal.
 Mir. DeMille said he was "very glad" to hear of the acquittal, but had no further comment to make.

SINALOA CANTALOUPES
 SELL FOR $1.00 EACH

T. c. Wright, assistant terminal su- perintendent of the S. P. de M. R. R. stated that the first express shipment of cantaloupes from Sinaloa, Mexico was sold in Los Angeles to the Am bassador hotel for s15 per crate.
 Each crate contains about 15 can taloupes. This was the first ship ment of cantaloupes reaching the United States. The crop of melons in Sinaloa will be marketed from 30 to 60 days in advance of the Imperial Valley crop, it is reported.
 The cantaloupes are of splendid fla vor and are good size. Shipping can taloupes from the West Coast of Mexico into the United States is an innovation.
