 The age-old argument as to wheth- CT or not wife has the right to de ihand of her husband the same rigid ity of standards as he demands of her, or to do the same as he does forms the sensational theme of Flaming Youth" powerful story of modern unconventional life which is now at the Palace.
 Flaming Youth. vividly dramatic screen version of Warner Fabian's daring novel, is considered one of the outstanding photoplays of the year.
 Flaming Youth" is story of a mother and her three daughters-all unconventional to a more or less de- gree. The father, as though for full measure, is inclined toward q fond ness for women in no way connected with his own family. zxs.-
 Colleen Moore plays the leading part in this powerful First National picture. Other members of the bril- liant all-star cast are Milton Stills, El- Hot Dexter, Myrtle Stedman, Sylvia Breamer. Betty Francisco, Phillips Smalley, Walter McGrail. Ben Lyon and others.S
 "Flaming Youth First National picture, was directed by John Francis Dillon, one of the most. noteworthy directors of this type of pictures in the motion picture industry.

COLORADO RIVER
VOLUME LOWERS
$500 Fl. TODAY

A drop. of 6,90c second feet from
yesterday 8 level at the Grand Can:
yon was the report received today
from the Irrigation District. The
discharge at the Grand Canyon
about 9 clock last night showed
q flow Of $500 second feet, com
pared to 11,700 second feet report
ed yesterday morning. Irrigation
authorities advance the theory
that the water is soaking into the
ground at much greater rate today
than 1T any time during the last
week and this in some measure ac-
counts for the rapid decline in the
flow. The bitches have been prac-
tically dry the last two weeks,
causing the water to soak into the
ground at an alarming rate.
The flow recorded at Yuma today
was 1851 second feet as compared
with 1900 second feet reported
yesterday, and 1916 second feet
recorded on Wednesday. This is
less than has previously been re-
ported during the past 20 days.

WASHINGTON, Sept. H. The
nation today was testing the speed
by which its man power can be as
sembled for war.
In every city and hamlet through
out the land, citizens were 4respond-
ing to a stimhlateds-eall for volun-
teers. rtS
To John j. Pershing, general of
the armies of the United States, it
was the beginning Of the end--the
ending of his AZ years of military
career. Tonight at midnight, Per
shing traverses that infinitesimal
moment of time which congress has
agreed marks the dividing line be-
tween military man s usefulness and
uselessness.
Pershing perhaps laughed to him
self over that legislative bit of wis
donsas he buckleu on his Sam Brown
belt, for if ever a man appeared to
be in his prime, it is he.
But law is law, just like orders
are orders.
Pershing does not quarrel with
the fate tina; pushes him awaycfrom
the army TO which he has given
nearly half century of his life.
He's going to be busy some way
"The field of se-dlness is as
broad as the world and its a poor
kind of man who .ceuldn { find
something to do" he told friends.
