He'll Come Back

He'll Come Back Dear Wally:
 Girls say I'm some lover And lots of them around me hover. What shall l do! I'm sick of them.
 Yours very truly,
 Uncut Gem. Dear Uncut Gem:
 The price of fame Is that one sickens of the game. Go where you're not known as a lover And keep the fact well under cover. The Green Fever Dear Wally:
 Will you tell me, please Just how to give my girl a squeeze? When I get near her my knees quiyer, And goose flesh covers them.
 Yours,
 shiyet. Dear Shiver:
 You don't use your knees To give a pretty girl a squeeze; So let 'em quiver; use your arm And soon they'll cease to take alarm.

Little actual damage was done by the heavy and intermittent rainfall of yesterday, but a gale of intense terocity hit the city and its environ ment shortly before o'clock that threatened for q time 10 cause a general flood. Several streets were inundated and trolley traffic and au- tomobiles were unable to pass until the rainfall had subsided and the catch basins were able to relieve the situation.
 A serious flood was caused at two points on West Main street. The iirst was caused at Walnut Hill park between Cedar and Russell streets. Here the water pouring from the slopins sides of the park into the one depression between these two streets, ,oVerfoWed the basins and flooded the street for distance of about 80 yards. About foot and a. half of water remained in between the curbs until the rain let up.

Youngsters seizing the opportunity of taking an imrromptu plunge, hustled into bathing suits and had great fun wading in the dcluge.

DON MARQUIS COMEDY BY
 POLES STOCK COMPANY
"Thc Old Soak Acceptably Produced With Edmund Abbey in
 Principal Role
(By Herald ReYleMerl

"The Old Soak" the Poli Players vehicle at the Palace theater in Hartford this week, is just a wee bit slow at times, but so we'll done that 1t holds the interest of the audi ence throughout, Edmund Abbey in the title role scores distinct hit,
 The play is remindful of 'Lightnin'," with the addition of Don Marquis epigrams, "The Old Soak" otherwise known as Glenn Hawley, is good sort of a chap socially, but he has no business sense and doesn't rate we'll with his family or with any of the respectable" peo- pie in town. He's honest, in spite of his drinking, though, and to save his son who has stolen some stock from his mother, Clem shoulders the blame and then goes about to make the situation right.
 Jay Ray as Cousin Webster Par sons, grasping village banker, who succeeds in wheedling the stocks from the son when the latter gets Into trouble at his office, does his best work Of the season so far. An thony Stanford as the son. rather overdid his part His gestures of worry were for all the world like those of crap shooter and at times the expression on his face led this department to believe that he was suffering from a bad pain. Edna Earl Andrews as Clem's wife who has lots of trouble earned the sym pathy of {, c audience. Miss Jean Oliver, the leading lady. had an ex- tremely light part Dorothy Lord as the hired girl, dumb as door nail. furnished many laughable situations.

DANCE MUSIC.

1T is natural for the casual OBJ
server to think that dance music
appeals solely to the ear, but there
is more to it than that. Of all the
impressions brought to the brain
by the five senses, there is none so
stimulating as music. Pain can
possibly be excepted, for it likewise
dominates the entire spiritual ana
physical being while it lasts. When
alluring music is heard concurrent
with delightful surroundings and
agreeable companions the effect is
incalculable.
The first music was for dancing
and based solely on rhythm. HUI
man emotions have not changed,
despite the mutations of social con-
ventions. The. minuet was as typi-
cal of it's time as is the fox-trot of
today. The pleasures of dancing
were grounded on the same reasons
then as now.

as Winslow, telephone service ap
proaches perfection and most com
plants come from those who de-
mard the impossible. Probably the
girls on the switchboard earn a
medal for tolerance every day. Any
newspaper where the telephones
ring almost continually knows thar
courtesy and efficiency is the rule
at central.
Just as the caliber of man can
be determined by his treatment of
his dependents and interiors, rather
than by his attitude toward his
superiors, the character of a tee
phone user is reflected in his atti-
tude toward others when he is pro-
tected in his anonymity.
Uncomplimentary as the fact
may be, the truth is that most dis
courtesy to operators comes from
those who would not dare say the
same thing in person to any man
employed by the company, and who
take advantage of the company's
rule of uniform politeness and
their own safety from RESPONSE
bility.

SUMNER RADIO RECEPTION.

WHILE excellent radio reception
" is frequently possible during
summer months, yet best long
distance records come in the win
ter. Signals are not quite as loud
in the summer and electrical dis
turbances, such as lightning
storms, naturally interfere with
concerts, particularly those from
distant points. A reasonable atti
tude will help the listener, who
should remember that he can not
expect every act in even the best
vaudeville to be just what he wants,
nor can he expect the weather every
day to be clear and pleasant.
Now and then a summer storr,
may interfere with both radio and
picnics. The listener should be-
come acquainted with his local sta
tions and enjoy them during the
summer, and be satisfied with the
long-distance records he has made
or will make in the winter. Ue
should get the best there is in radio
during all seasons, and above all,
he should be reasonable.
If the listener is distant from
the station he wants to hear he can
lengthen his aerial wires and in
crease their height from the
ground. Both of these measures
make signals louder as a general
rule. He can add an audio ampl1-
fier. He can increase voltage Of
his ''B'' battery or plate battery up
to 80, 112 or even 1876 volts (that
is, to four, five or six of the usual
221avolt units). He can use a more
sensitive loudspeaker and tune
more carefully to get the very
loudest signal his set is capable of
giving. If there is ticker adjust
ment on his set he should learn
how to use it so as to get full vol
ume of signals. The good results
ne will get then are going to be
even better in the winter.

ASHURST ON GRAZING.

IN DISCUSSING the work of tho
senate subcommittee on public
lands, Senator Ashurst, following
the meeting at Springerville Satur-
day, which was the third hearing OF
a series held at Flagstaff, Holbrook
and Springerville, issued the fol-
lowing statement to the press:
'The senate subcommittee has
concluded its hearings in Arizona
and will later in the summer re-
sumo hearings in Utah, Montana,
Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
Enormous interest was manifest
in the work of the committee by cit
liens of Arizona generally Where
the forestry bureau was once Oh
durate and unyielding, that bureau
is now firmly impressed by the
arguments made by the various
citizens who appeared before the
committee. The chief forester now
realizes that reasonable grazing Oh
forests reduces the fire hazard.
Long-term permits for grazing live
stock will be issued in the future,
and undoubtedly the grazing fees
will be decreased rather than in
creased.
"The grazing fees for 1925 have
been Cancelled and the chief for
ester promises that they will be
Cancelled for the year 1926.
"The live stock industry is the
second largest industry in Arizona.
but until recently it has not re-
ceived so much as a nod of friendly
recognition from the federal gov
ernment.
"The evils of the intolerant,
heartless bureau system of govern
ment have been thoroughly exposed
and the great issue of the immedi-
ate future will be to take the fed
eral government out of the grasp of
the bureaus and restore it to the
hands of. the people.
THE citizens of Arizona do not
intend further to submit quietly
whilst the federal government in
vades and destroys the rights CT
the state of Arizona and other
western states.
"The cancellation of the grazing
fees for this year has effected a
saving to the stockmen' of half a
million dollars for this year alone,
and if Cancelled for next year will
save like sum for 1926. I know
of many cases where the cancela-
tion of the fees for this year has
saved individuals and firms from
bankruptcy"

a caValryman, later transferred to
the signal corps and wound up in
the air service. 1t did not matter
that one had never ridden a horse
more than twice in his life, or had
never thought of the telegraph and
the wig-wag code system as any
thing more than deep Greek. Ii
one possessed a little knowledge
OF mechanics and a smattering of
physics and meteorology, one was
fitted for the air service, and all
the influence in the world could
not dislodge him.
The National Defense act includes
provisions that will prevent a re-
currence of confusion in any future
mobilization by placing future SOL
diers where they will be best fitted.
1t contemplates the one army idea
in providing a WeIl-balanced and
effective force, consisting of the
regular army, the national guard
when in the service of the United
States, and the organized reserves,
which includes the officers reserve
corps and the enlisted reserve
corps. The reserve, being the larg-
est is the principal war component
of the army of the United States.
The purpose of the organized re-
serves is to provide. a well-trained,
organized and balanced force which
may be. readily expanded and de-
veloped into an adequate war COM
ponent of the army of the United
States to meet any major emer-
gency requiring the use of troops
in excess of those of the regular
army and the national guard.
Prior to the last war, little pro
vision had been made to obtain
officers for the largely expanding
army. The army contained at that
time 1900 men. After hostilities
commenced in April, 1917, it was
found that the regular army alone
could not supply sufficient officers
from its personnel to take care of
and train the new army. Under the
provisions of the National Defense
act of 1920 a number of officers
sufficient to care for and train an
army of 100000 men has been
placed in reserve and their training
continues each day of the year, al
though they are not on active duty.
They undergo rigid examinations
from time to time. Changes in serv-
ice regulations are sent them when
changes are made. Problems and
lectures are sent out over the radio
and the officers are graded and
marked thereby for promotion.
The Plattsburg training camp,
prior to the last war, was the re-
serve officers "West Point" Even
that wonderful school could not
supply the demand for officers at
that time. Now it is the policy Of
the war department to secure sec
ond lieutenants for the combat
arms through the Citizens Military
camp, the Reserve Off
GERS Training camp and from per-
sonnel of the national guard and
qualified civilians who can pass the
required examinations. Any boy
who wishes to become a future Of
ficer should consider the wonderful
chance the government offers the
young men between the ages of II
and 81. Graduates of the final
course at the Citizens Military
camp are then eligible to
make application for a commission

THE NATIONAL
DEFENSE ACT
By 1T. CCHAS. J. McQUILLAN
G. S. Reserve, U. S. Army.

John ADAMS, the second presi-
=" dent of the United States, long
ago laid down the basic proposi-
tion that "the national defense is
one of the cardinal duties OF a
statesman" This dictum may be
easily carried further without
breaking the conscience, however
brittle, of any person whomsoever,
and proclaimed as a fundamental
obligation of every American citi-
zen.
AS you are aware, the National
Defense act of June 4, 1920, was the
first step that this country has
taken to adequately safeguard the
nation in the event of war; it is
our first definite step worthy Of
the title military policy" Before
the passage of this act the daily
problem was met with the daily ex-
pedient. Many esx-service men Of
the World war will always remem-
ber the confusion that prevailed in
the early days of mobilization. No
provision had been made to place
men in the special branches where
their civil training would be Of
most value to the service. Tile
writer can we'll remember the early
days in 1917 when, after failing to
gain entrance to the railway engi-
neer regiments, he was accepted as

last year, the production this year
is predicted at 250,O00,0OO pounds,
and by the year 1928 it is expected
that production will amount to
more than 600,OOO,O0O pounds a
year.
If this vast amount of copper is
thrown on the world market it will
surely have serious effect on the
price of copper. The cost Of pro-
duction in the Belgian Congo is low
already and with increased eff
cheney resulting from the construc
ton program made possible by this
loan, it is probable that produc-
ton costs will be still lower. What
will happen then to the high-cost
producers of this country?
1t is hard enough for them to
make money on the present price
of copper; with this vast amount
of new metal coming on the market
what will happen to the high-cost
producer? Already the mines OF
the world are producing more cop
per than is being consumed.
This is a vital problem for Ari-
zona, because the mines of the
state pay about AZ per cent of the
taxes, and what affects their pros
perity will affect the prosperity of
the state and the tax revenues as
Star.
