DRY UW HIPS THEATERS SAX FRANCISCO SHOW-SHOPS , REPORT GOOD BUSINESS. Money That Formerely Went Over Bars and Into Cabarets Now Flows to Box Offices. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12. (Special.! San Francisco theaters have never been so prosperous as they have been since July 1. It is safe to say, and re main on the side of conservatism, that there has been an increase of 25 per cent in the receipts at box offices in all parts of the city. All classes of per formances and entertainments are in cluded, from the small district nickel odeon with its two-reel pictures of an cient vintage to the big "legit" houses downtown with their $2 shows. In prohibition lies the answer. A large part of the money heretofore spent over bars and at the hard-drink resorts is now coming into theater box- ol'fices. Former whisky topers are now saturating themselves with frequent potions of theatrical entertainment. All the theaters, without exception. are doing a greatly Increased business and their owners are satisfied that there is balm in Gilead and plenty of it. They were, for the most part, skep tical when David Belasco gave out an interview some weeks before the un timely taking off of the alcohol traffic, in which he predicted prosperity for the theatrical business. And they scoffed when Seattle and Portland and Spokane theater owners sent out the glad tidings, when their states went dry, that they were doing a vastly in creased business. But the skeptical scoffing has given way to conviction. for the evidence is in the bank balances. RUNAWAY WOMAN FOUND Gl'ARDIAX ARRESTED OS CHARGE OF WHIPPING GIRL.

The most important of all the discoveries of the last five years in Egypt and the entire near east has been Australia! Out here in the oldest part of the world, amidst the ruins of successions of ancient civilization, this new nation has fixed its place in modern history, and established, for all man kind's admiration, the character of its people. Where Homer sang and Cleo patra loved, where the Pharaohs built and where ' the Israelites wandered, there Australian and New Zealand sol diers have been, to erect for themselves a reputation that lifts their land above its old designation as a place of kan garoos and emus and goldfields and sheep ranches. Australia lost cruelly of the flower of her youth at Gallipoli, but she found her soul. National consciousness and solidarity, and a sense of the nation's mission among men, have been born over here in the realms of the golden age. Troy, Sparta. Greece, Rome. Judea, Egypt, have no nobler stories of valor and sublime heroism to their credit than may be written of these young giants from the unknown land beneath the Southern Cross. Vaguely, the world has beard that the Anzacs for when I write of Australians, I would Include always their kindred New Zealand comrades fought nobly at Gallipoli and in Palestine and in Egypt; when the full story appears it will be a thilling revelation. Hero Tmlri From Historic Soil. Point for point. It will outmatch the classic tales. What was, Marathon compared with the ride of a wounded Australian, with one leg and one arm off, on horseback, across 40 miles of terrible desert? All the wounded in one Palestine battle got to medical aid only after this incredible experience. The public has heard whispers of how the Arabs of the Shereefian or Hejas forces captured Damascus: but it does not know that the Australian light horse troopers had the city surrounded. waiting for the Arabs to come up, be cause ordered to do so. In the first battle of Gaza one of the mysterious disasters of the war about which still further explainin will have to be done the British troops were ordered to retire after the city had been surrounded and the victory had been practically won. A consider able force of the Australians retired right straight through the city, stop ping within the walls for a time! That Is typical of these "wild Austra lians." They prefer the audacious deed. Nobody has to urge them into action; but they are the very demons to hold back. SoMlera W ho. Dare. Six troopships of Anzacs were at Port Said when the Egyptian insurrec tion broke loose. Their equipment, in cluding horses and arms, had been turned In. They were homeward bound for demobilization. Within two days that force was up and down the rail way lines, at remote powerhouses and scattering over the land to put the fear of law and order into the turbulent mobs. It would have fared ill with the British in Egypt had it not been for the presence of these fearless and effi cient men from overseas with their genius for meeting emergencis To the Egyptian the very name "Aus tralian" is a terror More friendly to the natives throughout their sojourn here than other soldiers, the Austra lian ie swift and severe when action is needed Like all out-of-door men the Aus tralians are practical jokers It was they who hung a nose bag on the big bronze horse which the effigy of Ibra hln Pasha bestrides in Opera square, Cairo During the early days of the insur rection, when airplanes had put a wholesale dread of punishment from the skies Into the hearts of all rioters, and even Cairo was familiar with the sight of these low-flying policemen, a typical Australian joke was played upon one of the popular cafes where effendis gather Two Australians stood in front of the cafe, quickly gathering to themselves all eyes. One held his watch in his hand; both scanned the air. for two or three minutes the soldiers stood, alternately looking at the watch and at the heavens Then, with a mo tion of decision and haste, they strode rapidly away Instantly the cafe customers, some with guilty consciences, sure that a bomb was to be dropped upon them. scampered away in panic, stumbling over one another and the tables and chairs In their mad haste to get from under the expected air raid. From across the street the Australians watched the success of their little Joke, laughing heartily the while. EX-SOLDIER'S FATE TRAGIC Oregon Veteran Crushed to 1 Death byB Hotel Klevator at Union.

My first work in Port land will be to enlist the co-operation of suffrage workers, among whom will be Miss Clara Wold."

The message was de livered to him In person by the peti tioners among whom was my sister, a member of the executive council of Sinn Fein. That appeal was never an swered by President Wilson. He thinks the Irish question a British question. "The women of Ireland today are ap pealing to their sisters here in America and to the women of the world."
