Poll Review

Margaret Young at Polls is head
ing the bill with something pretty
lively and has a few original hits that
are great. The only trouble with
Margaret is that like so many others
who really please the audience, she
runs away to the wings despite the
desire of the audience for MORE. OF
course, Margaret can't take the time
for the whole show, but she was worth
couple of good encores at least.
She certainly made a hit, however.

In a will, he left all his money to
one daughter and grandson and his

Wakeman that he was gong TO pro-

SERVICE STORE WILL BE
 OPENED BEP. ].
Innovation in Merchandising Will Be Launched Soon in
 Tombstone Canyon

There has been considerable spec ulation of late regarding the building of an up-to-date store in Tombstone Canyon about opposite the Laundry car stop. w. A. Meyer, general man. ager of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company has announced that this building will be used very shortly as a self-service branch of their busi- ness for the sale of groceries, meats and vegetables.
 The fixtures have arrived, though a. part of the refrigerating machinery is still missing, and this is holding up the opening of the store. Con tracts have been made for similar fixtures to be installed in their pres ent grocery quarters in the store in Bisbee, Lowell and Warren. The change will also be made at the main store in Douglas. It is expected that fixtures for the Bisbee and Douglas stores will be shipped about April 1st, and the opening will be about 30 days later.
 The fixtures of the butcher shop will. be attractive and both the show cases and meat cooler will be refrig- erated with small ice machine. Tn addition to, meats, which will be han dled in thoroughly sanitary manner the assortment in this department will include a complete delicatessen line.
 The idea of self-service in groceries is an innovation in Bisbee, Lowell, Warren and Douglas, but has proven it's worth in many other localities and is the last word in selling merchan- disc at low cost. The operation will simply consist of the customers pick ing their merchandise from the shelves and making settlement at a counter upon leaving. If one is in a hurry she may buy four or five items and be out of the store inside of a minute On the other hand, if GUS toner is iincliaed to shop leisurely until an assortment is made, or till she becomes acquainted with any particular piece of new merchandise there is no one in the place to~urge her to hurry or buy.
 The fixtures of all stores will be French gray and make a very pleas ing appearance The height of the shelves will be something less than six feet, and within easy reach of all customers. The butcher shop will have a cooler suitable for the refrig- eration of sixteen sides of beef, with four compartments for the display and storage of the smaller articles commonly sold in departments such as this.
 The whole scheme will. be one of low cost operation in keeping with the present times and consequently lower priced groceries in the district. It is estimated that the saving will be at least 10 per cent from prices now generally paid. Roughly speak ing this will mean to the average

RUTH LAW WILL GIVE UP FLYIN G CAREER FOREVER

 The speaker was Ruth Law Oliver, daring woman aviatrix, who for 10 years has been courting with death and defying it as stunt flyer both in America and Europe.
 She has quit aviation. Retired for ever.
 "why?"
 Because am a normal woman and want home. a baby, and everything else that goes with married life she says.
 Why, I've been married for al- most 10 years to Charlie Oliver. the man who has managed my exhibitions and scarcely anyone knew who he Was.

 The Olivers are to leave soon for California, where they intend mak- ing their home in Beverly Hnls.
 At first Ruth thought of having just little mouoplane in the family garage.
 But she has decided even against that.
 Mother earth is the best old place to be-" she says. Frying steels the nerves and all that sort of thing. But there is, oh. such a warm and com fortable feeling when on the ground.
 "I am positive that aviation will never be a safe game. That's because I cannot see how sufficient or ade- Quate safety devices can be perfected to insure the flyers life at all times"
 As her plans for the future, Mrs. Oliver says:

UNAUTHORIZED JAZZ
 PARTY IS BROKEN UP
 BY FIRE DEPARTMENT

LOvELAND, Colo. MarlS-The strains of an old violin, the missap- propriation of a dance hall and the call of the siren transformed the fire department into riot squad q few nights ago.
 It all happened this way: A number of husky lads and buxom lassies of Little Russia" a suburban portion of Loveland. became imbued with the American Idea of modern jazz and producing an old violin. proceeded to an unoccupied house and proceed ed to turn it into a cabaret, neglecting to notify the owner of the property as to their intentions.
 When the strains of the music re- verberated into the night the owner of the place became curious and then indignant and attempted to eject the intruders.
 But youth must have it's filings and they proceeded to fling the ejeetor out of the house. A small sized but modern and up-to-date riot ensued and the fire department was called. The dance broke up rather informally after the ardor of the dancers had been materially dampened.
