HUMAN OPTIC MOVES THINGS
Why the Superstition of the "Evi
Eye" May Have a Fcunda-
ton of Fact.

At meeting of eye-specialists hello
In Oxford, England. startling an.
nouncement was made by DR.. Charles
Russ, NJ. r. G. s., J.. r. c. P. II
was that, after three years of patient
research, he has proved by means OF
a delicate instrument, that the human
eye radiates a form of power or en-
ergy, which can be measured upon his
Instrument The operation of the In
strument in question was proved in
the congress, and a sensation was Gre
ated by the announcement of his re
markab1e discovery.
The instrument was brass cylinder
in which was hung a delicate spiral
of fine copper wire. This solenoid
was wound upon a cylinder of cel-
luloid and was suspended by fibei
of unspun silk, contained within q
long glass tube. A small magnet held
the solenoid in position, and the ap
paratus was electrically earthed by a
connective wire.
Doctor Russ proved that if he con-
cc0tTuloU Ills SdAC upon VhS Snu "
the suspended body, through the win,
dow-slot it would sway away from
him: when he looked, at the oppo-
site end. it swayed toward him, and
when he looked directly at the center
of the body, it was stationary.
This apparatus, therefore, seems to
show us that there is a definite force
radiated from the human eye, and
that. when one person looks at anoth.
er, a real form of power is thereby
transferred This force Doctor Russ
believes to be physical in character.
probably akin to heat or the electric
rays. though its nature has not so fai
been determined.
1t is interesting to note. in this con
nection. that occult science" has
taught this for many years.

Woman's Club Dinner Dance
Marked Reduction in Debt

The dinner dance given by FIag-
staff Woman's club last Thursday
night deserves something more than
casual mention, in that it not only
was wonderful success socially, but
was the means of raising thousand
dollars with which an Indebtedness
against the club was paid, leaving
sum still to be paid that is compare
lively small when the value OF the
property is considered.
The long tables which completely
filled the main club rooms were COM
pletely filled with guests, who were
as completely filled with food by the
time the dinner was over and dancing
began.
Mrs. Frank NJ. Gold, president OF
the club, was POSTMASTER and gracl-
ously welcomed the guests. She m
troduced G. B. Wilson, who con1pll-
mented the women on the splendid
work they have done and emphasized
the great value of the club to the
community. Mrs. G. A. Pearson,
Mrs. Lorna Jessup and Miss Selma
Aas, with Mrs. Margaret Howard
Fay at the piano, sang, then respond.

piano solo was encored. These n1usl-
cal numbers were exceptionally good.
Miss Mary Boyer, former presl-
dent, gave a senli-humorous synopsis
Of the struggles of the club, the lii-
ception of the idea to build clu0
home and the slowness with which
the raising of funds progressed at
first. But later things moved faster
and the $4,000 clubhouse is now
three-fourths paid for.
". @. Wallingford of Phoenix, ar
chitect who drew the plans Of the
building, was introduced and APP
plauded. George T. Harrington was
present upon invitation and was CIV
en- the thousand dollars which had
been raised in the. two preceding
weeks and which absolyed the clubs
indebtedness to him.

the peppy dance music, and during
internlission Phil Hall made his or
chestra talk musically. During the
dance, those who preferred played

WHAT'S SMART IN MEMS WEAR
The felU exclusives
hard put to it to
keep ahead of
stthe many
''fhe many

a NOTED stylist the other
IN day gave a definition OF
style as 'tthe effort of the few
to wear something different
from the many, and the effort
of the many to catch up with
the few
The job Of the few who would
be exclusive is becoming more
and more difficult all the time.
A few years back when new
styles originated, usually among
the young men of the dressy
Englis h "army set, they
would be copied later by the
London tailors who supply
wealthy civilians. Then Ameri-
can tailors would get hold Of
them season later, and few
'of the new styles would be
seen along Fifth Avenue. From
there they would gradually
ispread over the country.
But now, things are different.
Large American clothing manu-
,facturers like Hart Schaffner &
Marx have style observers on
the ground, and have arrange
ments whereby patterns OF new
styles which appear in London
or at the famous watering
places on the Continent are im-
mediately brought to America.
Those which appear suitable
are Immediately made avail
able to alert men, in all parts
of the country who are inter
ested in style, so that the many,
if they wish, may be right on
the heels Of the few all the time.

Beans Be Used
To Advertise
Nogales

Beans - jumping beans from
the west coast of Mexico-are to
advertise Nogales.
Thousands of the little beans
are to be sent to Chicago, the
exposition at Philadelphia, and
other eastern points by the No
gales Chamber of Commerce.
Along with the beans will go a
two-page Chamber of Commerce
pamphlet, several thousand of
the pamphlets having just been
printed in the job department of
The Nogales International.
To J. B. Bristol, secretary Of
the Chamber of Commerce, be-
longs credit for using jumping
beans to advertise this city. 1t
IS a splendid idea probably the
cleverest ever used by a Cham,
Der of Commerce.
On one page of the pamphlet is
panoramic view of Ambos No
gales, enclosed by large red
circle, with a smaller circle in the
middle, directly on the interna-
t'onal line. Within the smaller
circle is to placed two of the
jumping beans, the one to jump
from the circle first is winner of
the jumping game"
The pamphlet highly decribes
Nogales' climatic conditions.

congratulated the city on dedica-
ton of the magnificent hotel and
declared that opening of the new
Southern Pacific de Mexico line
through to Mexico City will re-
suit in all Nogales hotels being
filled, both in winter and sum-
mer. He then enumerated what
he has done in tle senate.
He stated h at California
will never take Arizona's pow
er and water from the Colo
RADIO river as long as he is
United State Senator. His state
ment concluded a brief discus
sion Of the attempt in congress
to railroad through the Swing
Johnson bill for the building of
the Boulder Canyon dam. He al
so related the successful attack
lead against the bill in the SEN
ate and declared that it was
through his efforts that made his
opponents fear to bring the bill
up for vote. He charged that
it was because of his staunch de-
fence of Arizona and his untir-
ing attack against the despoilers
Of Ar;zona's share of the Colo
RADIO for the development of
Mexican lands which caused the
Los Angeles Times bitterness
against him. He asserted that
the publisher of the coast paper
was much interested in the re-
clamation of the lands in Mexico
10 the south of California, and
he added that the water from
the Colorado was an absolute ne
cessity in doing this. Senator
Cameron reiterated again and
again that it was his determined
intention to prevent the develop
ment of those lands or any other
lands at the expense of his home
state.
Senator Cameron gave brief
account of his achievements in
the United States senate during
| the last several years. He
claimed that he had been success
full in bringing millions of dol
lars in direct appropriations alone
TO Arizona. He said that the
PASSING of the Can Carlos bill is
tringing to the state the $780,
coo Coolidge dam now under
construction on the ella river.
lie also said he has brought
more than 100000 benefits to
the farmers of the Yuma irriga-
ton projects.
