LEGISLATURE DOESN'T KNOW
WHO WILL HE GOVERNOR
WHEN IT MEETS MONDAY
Phoenix, Ariz.., Jan. (i. (United
Press) Thu condition of Arizona's
politics is so chaotic today that no
body knows who will he governor when
the legislature meets Monday.
No one knows whether the admin
istration, or unti-udministration will
dominate, as the administration is yet
to be determined. No one knows any
thing about it, except that there is ev
ery indication of one of the liveliest
sessions in the brief history of the
baby state.
The governorship is at present tied
up in thu courts. Tom Campbell, Re
publican, was elected by .'10 votes o-or
Governor George W. P. Hunt on the
face of the return. Hunt is contest
ing, and despite every effort to speed
up the case, it is almost certain that
the recount and the court proceedings
will not be completed in timu for the
inauguration of the new governor.
Campbell will seek to take his sent
by virtuo of the certified returns.
Hunt will seek to have him restrained
until the contest is decided.
This uiiuhuiiI situation is occupying
the attention of politicians to the ex
cluson of pluns for a legislative pro
gram. Neither the present nor the de
facto governor-elect have done any
thing toward preparing a message.
The legislature is almost overwhelm
ingly Democratic, but is almost equal
ly divided between the Hunt and the
iinti-llunt factions.

Press by Mail) Minister of Agricul
ture Honorio Pucrrydon wants con
gress to appropriate 1,000,000 francs
(about $200,000 United States money
to be given us a prize to anybody who
supplies Argentina with an effective
scheme for exterminating grasshop
pers, or locusts, as they are locally
known.
The pest here is nearly as bud as in
Kunsus and other western parts of the
United States for a few seasons 20 o
30 vers ago. Crops this year hnv.i
suffered enormously from the grass
hoppers' appetites.
Congress favors the appropriation
but mnny members think the minister
has set his figure unnecessarily high.
Pucrrydon insists on the sum he has
mentioned and may get it. He refers
to it in francs ruther than in pesos be
cause, for some reason, he seems to
think the prize's chief nppeal will ho
to Europe.
As a mutter of fact, the Argentina
government has had one unsatisfac
tory experience of the kind with a
European. This was a celebrated
French expert named d'Herelle, who
made a contract in 1911 to wipe out
the pest and devoted three years to
attempts to do it, wihout accomplish
ing much. D'Horclle's version, how
ever, was that he would have suc
ceeded but for tho interference of the
agricultural defense department of the
ministry, which, he said, wanted as
many grasshoppers as possible, in or
der to make jobs for the maximum
number of departmental defenders
against their activities.

Heart and Nerve Action Recorded In

To be an aviator In one of the armies
lighting lu Europe one must be as near

j being can be. To ascertain if the
would be aviator has the requisite Iron
' uerve, be la subjected to a complicated
' system of tent both of bis physique

Some Idea of the system of testing ap
plicants for the French aviation corps
I Is given iu an urticle in the Popular
j Science Monthly, which says:
j "The war aviator must be so consti
tuted that the Midden menace of dan
; kit, of shells bursting about him, of
machine gun bullets raining upou him,
I will find 111 in calm and collected. He
must fact a crisis not only with delib

r.urio wilu n wll0e skill
Men Like Daniel Boone Wanttd.
"Polo players, lion tamers, big g&uie
hunters, proved to be the bett aviators
In the early days of the flying maehiuu
simply because they were so constitut
ed that they were not appalled by dan
ger. Indeed, they courted, perils. Men
of this rare tyiic are hard to find. Be
sides, every man obsessed with the
daredevil spirit does not necessarily
constitute the Ideal aviator. Even tim
id business men uuvc their moments of
reckless daring. What is wanted is
the stuff of which Daniel Iiooncs and
Shackletons are made.
"Hut, In addition to the daredevil
spirit, has the prospective aviator mus
cular and nervous endurance? After
clutching for an hour the control levers
of a sjieedy monoplane Is bis bund
Arm or does It tremble? After witness
ing a terrible accident Is his heart
beat, his 'cardiac rhythm,' undisturbed?
Moreover, are his nervous and muscu
lar, systems so well balanced and so
nicely correlated that bis hands prompt
ly obey every extern;. 1 command?
"These Important questions must he
answered in his favor if he bojies to
get a job as a war flier with the French
army. The French do not want dare
devils to drive their air machines, if
they are daredevils and nothing more.
"For the purpose of Ilnding out Just
how favorably ea"h applicant can an
swer these dillieult questions and he
cannot answer them with his Hps the
French war department employs an in
genious testing machine. Psychologists
have known and have employed what
is called the D'Arsonval chronometer
for many years. But it is unlikely that
the delicate mechanism has ever been
put to such an interesting task. .
"One part of It tests the pulse beat;
another determines the tremor of the
nerves; another apparatus discovers
the ability or the inability of the ap
plicant to withstand fatigue. After he
has undergone several simple examina
tions the candidate is seated In a chair
and the final supreme test is applied.
"How would most men act if a re
volver were discharged unexpectedly
behind their ears? The answer Is slm.
pie. They would leap Into the air;
iheir heart beat would probably dou
ble; they would gusp and tremble as
If they had palsy. In so doing they
would promptly disqualify themselves
as aviators In the French army.
Must Rmin Cfclm.
"In testing tho possibilities of an
aviator various contrivances are at
tached to the body, nil having h defi
nite purpose. Tubes lend from these
devices to a slowly rotating cylinder,
on which paper Is wrapped. They ter
minate In points which record the
slightest variation in l.ls physique.
"When the lockwork has start oil and
he is perhaps wondering what the
queer apparatus Is all about n deafen
ing explosion takes place a foot be
hind him. The record made at that
moment on tho revolving paper deter
mines whether or not he Is to become a
French war aviator, ff his heartbeat,
his respiration and bis arm nerves mid
muscles show no undue excitement on
the paper cylinder ho goes to wort.
But if the stylus actuated by his pulse
beat dances about the rotating shet
ho is disqualified. It Is only natural
that his retlex nervous system Bhould

Impulse, but the man who tests him
knows how wide n variation from nor
mill may be tolerated.

"THE HALF BREED"
A Five-Part Triangle-Fine Arts Of
fering Reviewed by George W.
Graves in Motograph.
Douglas Fairbanks' latest success
is "The Half Breed," written by Bret
! Harte. It will be shown at the Arcade,
Sunday only. And an unalloyed success
it is, viewed from all angles. The story
has that vim, originality and power
wheih exalts it as high above the
numerous tedious five-reelers of th
day as the sun is above the clouds.
Money and time, as well as a copious
amount of experienced knowledge, was
expended on this film. Every sceno
is eloquent of this. Although we d
not wish to convey the idea tliat the
scenery is employed as a mere embell
ishment to a soulless story, it is truly
beautiful, many captivating sets be
ing laid in the big tree section of Cali
fornia. A remarkable feat in produc
tion is also embraced in this picture
in the staging of a forest fire that is
a real conflagration and carries with
it all the awe and horror of such a
catastrophe.
"The Half Breed" is an exceptional
ly good vehicle for Douglas Fairbanks'
style t he . boyish manliness and
sparkling good humor that has carried
him on a sea of popularity from his
very first picture. Mr. Fairbanks"
warmth and humanness place him in
the foremost ranks of actors on tha
screen or off of it. The presence of
Jewel Carmen, however, should not b
lightly overlooked. She copes very
ably and convincingly with the part of
a heartless coquette, and Alma Reii
buen as the woman who is regenerated
by her first noble love, is also excel
lent. Others in the cast are Sam De
Grasse, Tom Wilson and Frank
Brownlee.
The story deals in an intense man
ner with the love affairs of Lo, a
half-breed, who, despite his ostracism
from society, proves that Indian blood
of itself makes a man no less worthy.
He falls desperately in1 love with.
Nellie, the village coquette, only to ho
bitterly disillusioned afterwards. In
his woodland home, a hollowed-out
tree, Lo shelters Teresa, a refugee
from justice who has woundered her
formed unfaithful lover as well as
Sheriff Dunn.
The latter, intent on winning Nellie
for himself, is convinced that she is
holding clandestine meetings with tha
half-breed woodsman in his tree-trunk
home. He sets out to kill Lo, but
finds in the tree neither Lo nor Nellie,,
who he has expected, but Teresa. As
the latter has lifted a painful appre
hension from his mind, he allows her
to go free. Teresa is able to prove
to Dunn that Lo is his own son. After
a wild forest fire has broken out and
Lo rescues both his father and the
girl he has protected, the story ends
with the happiness of Teresa and the
half-breed who has completely re
generated her coarse nature.
