With Elmer Nyborg flashing through the Methodist defense al- most at will and equalling the score .ol the combined opposition. the Luthcrans won a 3l-15 verdict ovcf the Trinity M. F. entry. During the first half the winners had every
 thing their own way and led by l4-5 score at intcrmssion, but Dem ing IIewctt and Paul Braddon led q determined assault during the early part of the second session which brought the Methodsts within reaching distance. Braddon, how ever, could not keep track of Ny. borg, and "Nibhy' broke loose as this period to place his team far enough ahead to allow the subs to be sent in and hold safe margin. | Playing without Hoist, the Swcdes

DORIS KENYON'S
FORMULA FOR
GETTING ON

Doris Kenyon gives the follow
ing estimate Of the things within
the average screen actress that
brings her success:
Acting ability, 80 per cent.
Beauty. Is per cent.
Personality. 20 per cent.
Trying hard to succeed, 25 per
cent.
Luck, 10 per cent.
Miss Kenyon, who Is co-fea
tured with Lloyd Hughes in First
Nationals Ladies' at Play" has
made a careful study of the forces
behind the success of her many
friends In motion pictures and
bases her estimate on that.
"Of course, each actress differs
from another" Miss Kenyon ex-
plains, az took SO representative
women with whose careers am
familiar and struck the average
given above. Therefore 1t seems
to me that these figures should be
approximately correct.
Conditions haven't changed
radically since the earlier days
of motion pictures. except that to-
day fewer actresses are taken
from the speaking stage, and
more develop within screen ranks.

Arizona Edison Co. is
Direc cted to Build
Yuma Settling Tanks

PHOENIX - The Arizona Ed
ison company, of Yuma, was dircc-
ted in an order handed down by
the Arizona Corporation Commits
sion to construct additional set
Ting tanks at Yuma having a cap
acity of 100000 gallons, in order
that an adequate supply Of clear
water can be furnished to the citi-
zens of Yuma at all times. The
new tanks will give the company
settling tankage of 100000 gal
Ions.
The order directs that the com
pany construct the additional set
Ting tanks within reasonable
time, the commission reserving for
determination the questions of cost,
the amount of value to be allowed,
the period Of amortization Of the
expenditures to be made and other
questions relating to the cost Of the
new tanks and the possible rev.
enues to be secured after the de-
velOpment of the tanks have taken
place.
The order is the oUtgrow;l Of a
hearing held in Yuma May II, in
which the commission heard the
complaint of the citizens of Yuma
relative to the water supply. Other
matters also were brought up at
the hearing relative to the supply
of gas, light and power furnished
by the company, but due 10 the i'm
portance of an adequate water sup
ply for the city, the matter of the
water supply was made the subject
of a special order in the case.
The hearing developed that the
water supply for the city of Yuma
is derived from the Colorado river.
The water when pumped from the
river, it was stated, is full of silt
and other impurities In order to
clear the water of silt, it was tes-
titled, it is pumped into settling
