who look like a breeze. Well, Null
hall looks like that type and he is
splendidly cast as Jack, the breeza
of the travelling statesmen, in this
comedy. NJ
Mulhall has taken the place that
Jack Pickford could have had in the
love and esteem of movie-going
people if Pickford had kept trying.
In looking over the list of future
leaders, have the feeling that Null
hall will be soon in the class of
such old-time favorites as Mary
>Pickford, Doug Fairbanks, Bebe
Daniels and the few others.
And for once, Dorothy Mackail as
the telephone girl in the beauty arr
ticle manufacturing place, Is able to
get from under the ether ard give
a very live and human performance.
The face lifting scene between Miss
Mackail and Mulhall Is a comedy
gem. The subtitles are full of real
comedy material, often very wise
and rapid, but real fun. it
"Way Out West" the stage pre-
senation, gives Charlie Davis and
the orchestra chance to show how
they look in cowboy attire. Jack
Powell has a drum speciality number
of so much novelty that he stops the
show. Mighty clever work. Lang
and Voelk in their comedy song
number also have the power to stop
the show cold. MS
The dancing girls in their en-
semble tap dancing work are the
best trained girls that the Indiana
has had this season. This presenta-
ton is full of real beauty. Judging
by the applause and the material
used this presentation has the right
to top the list so far. -
Am glad that Maurice this week

of this sort of playing.

first time character known as the
freshman of the road-meaning the
wise and smiling youth, who be-
comes a travelling salesman and
makes his first trip. The old heads
in the game have no trouble to
recognize the freshman of their

more pep than a volcano. He is the

New Eight-Hour
Law For Women

The new eight hour law for women
went into effect yesterday.
This law is officially known as
Senate bill No. 10. It's essential
paragraph follows:
"No employer, employing females
in any manufacturing or mercantile
establishment, confectionery, store,
bakery, restaurant, telephone or tele-
graph office or exchange or other
establishments excepting what is
known as domestic work, shall employ
or suffer or permit any female to
work more than eight hours in any
one day or more than 48 hours in any
one week Said eight hours must be
performed in a period not to exceed
13 consecutive hours. Every employ
er, employing women or female min
ors in the establishments named,
shall provide for one full day of rest
a week for every female. The pro-
visions of this act shall not apply to
an adult woman who has in any given
week been employed for six hours a
day or less, from being employed for
seven days in such week, and furth-
er that the provisions of this section
shall not apply to females employed
in such telephone or telegraph office
or exchange, in which not more than
three females are employed; or to
female nurses; and provided furth-
er, that the provisions of this section
in relation to hours of employment
shall not apply to or affect females
engaged in the harvesting, curing,
canning, or drying any variety of
perishable fruit or vegetables during
such periods as may be necessary to
harvest, cure, can or dry said fruit or
vegetables in order to save the same

State Dock Board
Suffering From
Bad Circulation

Failure of the eighth state legisla-
ture ito appropriate fees" for the use
of the state board of medical exam
iners was given by DR.. w. o. Sweek,
the secretary treasurer, as the grounds
for a statement that no more meet
ings of the board will be held until
after the next regular session of the
legislature, which automatically pro-
hibits the licensing of additional ply
sicians in Arizona.
DIR. Sweek's statement asserts the
board is without sufficient funds to
carry on its complete function, and
that, consequently, there twill be no
meetings of the board and no licenses
issued until after the next session Of
the legislature. This will be in 1929"
The sum of 5000 was appropriated
by the legislature for operating ex-
penses of the board and all fees col
lected by the board were ordered
turned into the general fund. 1t was
stated by members of the house ap-
preparations committee that when the
item Of appropriations for the med
ical board was under discussion it was
brought out that DR.. w. F. Cheno-
weth, Nogales, president Of the board
had received a salary of $4,000 per an
mum, paid out of fees collected by the
board.

|ARIZONA BOY-FRANK LUKE JR. AN
OUTSTANDING HERO OF WORLD WAR

was captain of the football team. The
call of war was in his blood, and he
enlisted in San Diego and was sent to
Austin, Texas, school of aeronautics
when he finished the regular nine
weeks course in seven weeks, and
made the best record for assembling a
Lewis machine gun while blindfolded
From Austin he was sent to the train
ing station at North Island near San
Diego, Calf His proficiency there
was so marked that he was the first
member in his class to be permitted
to fly alone. On march 3, 1918, he
sailed for France, where he finished
his course in training; graduating
first in flying and second in handling
a machine gun, and was attached to
the 9th aero squadron. Within six
weeks he was a recorded "ace," and
his name was known throughout
France, England and the United
States as one of Americas most ex-
pert aviators. Luke's speciality from
the beginning was the attack and des-
truction of German observation ball
looms, a field requiring more daring,
more skill and better judgment than
fighting airplanes. In seventeen days
he destroyed fourteen balloons in the
Verdun and Toul areas. His method
was unique The German balloons

County Tax Rate May
Be Lower This Year

County tax rate will be slightly low
er this year than last, owing both to a
reduction by the county board Of sup
ervisors of about $4,000 in the amount
to be raised this year by direct tax
alton and to an increase-in spite of
arbitrary decrease of tax valuation on
some items-of about 100000 in net
valuation of property in the county.
Last year the amount to be raised
by direct taxation was $139, 145.40;
this year it is $135,245 Last year
the net valuation of all taxable prop
erty was $20,089,113. This year it is
$40, 0,188,459.
The county tax rate last year was
1.1O06, city 2.365, state .67, high
school .4125, special school 1854, to-
tai 4.7165. The city budget has not
been made up yet.

STATE TAX COMMISSION
ANNUAL MEETING HERE
THREE DAYS NEXT WEEK

The state tax commission will hold
its annual convention at the court
house Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day to confer with the county asses
sors and clerks of the boards of sup
ervisors of the state, who are re-
quired to be present. 1t is optional
with the county boards of supervisors
whether they attend the conference.
But it is likely that many supervisors
viii attend. 1t is estimated that
there will probably be an attendance
of rs or more at the conference and
that many will be accompanied by
their families.
The object of the meetings is to de-
termine as far as possible upon uni
form valuation on all classes of prop
erty in the state. Abstracts of all
the tax rolls of the state will be dis
cussed and tax officials of each county
will defend their valuations.
Charles R. Howe, chairman of the
commission, sent no special letters
of invitation to attend, as had been
done in the past, but a general invi-
tation is extended to all interested tax
payers. Frank Luke and E. A. Hughes
are the other members of the COM
mission.
There will probably be a banquet
and dance for visitors. Automobiles
have been offered for sightseeing
trips.
Miss Lucille V. Nolan, clerk county
supervisors, is in receipt of letter
from L P. Mcbride, president of the
state board of supervisors, advising
that the state board will hold its an
nual meeting in Flagstaff July 25, 26
and 27, at the same time as the state
tax conference. He stated that there
will be full attendance and an at
tractive program.

Good Range And
Plenty OF Water

Livestock and ranges continue tC
improve, following rains Of two weeks
ago, and the calf crop is much above
normal with the water supply plenti-
full. In western New Mexico ranges
are green and improving, and cattle
are steadily getting ahead; the water
supply is adequate. In southern CO.
chise county cattle have not changed
from the good condition of last week.
In southern Santa Cruz County, wa
ter, stock and range are excellent.
In the Thatcher section range and
grass are good, and stock are fat. In
the Whiteriver country stock are very
good with excellent range and water.
There was no rain reported at Pres
colt, but the range is good. In the
Holbrook grazing area water is plen-
tiful, and range and stock are good.
The observer at Pinedale telegraphs
that feed is excellent in that vicinity
with cattle doing well. Range and
cattle are in good condition immedi-
ately south of the Grand Canyon. 1t
was quite cool on the northern side.
In the neighborhood of Seligman wa
ter is ample, and stock are good.
In the Salt River valley the first
bale of cotton was ginned on the 18th.
The hot, dry weather was ideal for
harvesting and shipping grapes and
cantaloupes. Cotton is good with lit
tie shedding. The same is true of
cotton in the Yuma section; there al
falfa seed yields are holding up well.
Cantaloupe shipments are brisk at
good prices, and are expected to con-
tinue the remainder of July.

If you had met the fair-haired, mod
est boy, shy of speech, at San Diego
in early 1918 you'd have loved him
Just as we did. But for the hard
boiled talk of the financial soldiers
you couldn't overhear his patriotic
heart beats and the desire to do of this
young STRIPPING, just budding into
American manhood. We saw Frank
.Luke's name written in the lava pits
on the Isle of Hawaii down deep in
the earth, placed there by buddies
who knew him in France. A recent
article suggesting that new Phoenix
high school be named after him, says:
There is considerable sentiment in
favor of naming the new high school
stadium in Phoenix in honor of Frank
Luke Jr., the Arizona boy who brought
glory to his state, and his country and
honor to his name by his outstanding
heroism in the world war.

nti-Bridge Men
Are Smoked Out

The identity OF sponsors of refer
endum petitions directed against five
state highway projects in all prob
ability will remain mystery, follow
ing relinquishment in court Tuesday
of 188 petitions containing about 27,-
900 names, by Stephen Rayburn, at
torney for Dave Kimball, described
in the suit as John Doe. This action
automatically postponed their filing,
which by law was required to be in the
hands of the secretary of state be-
fore midnight Tuesday.
Further action on the dismissal was
taken when referendum petitions cir
culated in Graham and Greenlee coun-
ties were surrendered.
The Arizona Gazette, which has
been regarded as an administration
paper, said that, in addition to Kim
balls yielding, there was IAN equally
abject surrender on the part of Rich
ard Doe, reliably reported to be 9. M.
Zander, secretary of the board of di-
rectors of state institutions.
Kimball though his attorney, Ray
burn, delivered the petitions them
selves to the custody of the court with
the understanding that they would
not be filed, rather than take the wit
ness stand and expose who the CEN
tral powers were behind the petitions.
w. G. Lefebvre, state engineer,
through Attorney F. c. Struckmeyer,
agreed to drop the suit for an injunc-
ton provided the petitions were sur
rendered with the understanding that
they would be held by the clerk of the
court until after the time limit for
their filing with the secretary of the
state.
Rayburn's official statement was
that he had been employed by man
whose name he did not care to divulge
to surrender the petitions, this after
Kimball, the next scheduled witness,
accompanied him to the courthouse.
Lefebvre's attorney said the only OBJ
ject the engineer had was to build
highways and bridges and to fight
to see that the work done by the last
legislature was not undone. Judge
Phelps announced that by this stipula-
ton of attorney the case was ended.

Booze In the Bath
Room Didn't Count

Florence Ferris of last year, Mrs.
Florence Ferris ZELDA of 1927, skated
on thin ice Friday successfully.
BY direction of Judge Jacobs, jury
trying her for violating the prohibi-
tion law at Flagstaff, entered a YER
dict of not guilty when defense coun-
sci moved for an acquittal on the
grounds that Mr.. Zelba, the husband,
had the liquor in his possession and
was arrested for it. Zelba, it was un-
derstood, was in the court room pre-
pared to testify as a witness and
take the fall" But it proved un-
necessary.
Mrs. Zelba, according to federal
court records, would be facing a seri-
Gus penalty had she been convicted of
this offense, for previous convictions
stood against her. Her arrest was
made by the town Of Flagstaff and
federal officers acting in conjunction.
Prosecutor Axline had interrogated
all his witnesses and brought forth
the fact that the liquor in two one
gallon jugs was in the bathroom when
the officers entered and found Mrs.
Zelba in an adjoining kitchen. AL

fendant had had with federal and 9TH
