f HE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1920 PAGE SEVEN s I fill GETS BACK IN JAIL U HURRY "With a sigh of relief John Lewis, an Indian, heard the iron door of the city Jail clang behind him last Sunday after having served a sentence of 20 clays for beingr drunk. Liberty! Freedom! He breathed in wholesome breaths of Pure outside air and was happy. That "Was at 2:30 o'clock on the Sabbath afternoon. A policeman passed John and smiled. The Indian smiled back. Through a habit of imbibing less than one-half of one per cent of water with his al cohol John had become acquainted with members of the local police force. There are many curious people who would like to know just what path John traveled from the city jail. It must have been a direct one, for only five hours from the time of his release he was found in the city hall plaza flirting with the shades of Old John Barleycorn while half-heartedly fight ing off the intrusion of Morpheus. Through hazy eyes John stared at juage i nomas in ponce court yester- day afternoon and heard the old fa- H miliar words: "Twenty days in jail." CITY SCIIOOlTOPl WITH 4,11 PUPILS The Phoenix city schools opened yesterday with 4,100 pupils taking their places, or an increase of SO per cent over last year. This unprece dented increase will force the school authorities to male arrangements to transfer pupils from those schools which are particularly crowded. These ? are the Adams, Capi'tol and Garfield eehoois, and transfer from this school will be made chiefly to the Kenilworth school, according to John D. Loper, i superintendent of city schools. All teachers for the year were pres ent yesterday when school opened. They number 159 this year, with many applications coming in, according to the authorities. These applications, it is said, are from teachers of a high standard. The first semester, which began yes terday, will extend until about Kebru- ary 1, and the second one will last until about the last of May. Five months are given to the first semester because it is during this period that the greater part of the year's holidays come, such as Fair week, Thanksgiving day and the Christmas period. JUDGE-LYMStF IS I new' transportation device BUSK DAY 1 T Judge Lyman yesterday had a very busy day in court.

Partenico against Charles Sorenson for the dis solution of their partnership, a hear ing was had on the report of the re rei'ver. Homer Fritzle. The hearing was continued by Judge Lyman.' By agreement of both parties, an order was granted directing and authorizing the receiver to sell the property of the partnership. The partnership has. not been dissolved as yet by the court, al though several weeks ago Sorenson was granted a judgment of $1,000 against Partenico and was permitted to- remove some of his personal prop erty from the place. iGnLEniTlD LOCAL WOMAN WED The Presbyterian church in Tucson was the scene Monday of the pretty wedding of J. C. Tovrea and Mrs. Dura Wright. The ceremony was performed by Rev. B. Z. McSullough at 12 noon, followed by a prettily appointed break fast at the Santa Rita hotel. The bride was attended by Mrs. J. A. J. Ilartman, while J. W. Wagner acted as be,st man Mrs. Tovrea has made Phoenix her home for the past eight years. Mr. Tovrea is a member of the firm of E. A.

The Devino Aerial apparatus in cludes two cables hung from towers, and a car, shaped like the fusilage of an airplane, which i's suspended from them by eight wheels so made as to prevent derailment. Between the two supporting cables is an electric cable which furnishes electricity to the mo tors of the car in the same manner as a trolley wire does for p. street car. The motors turn over a propellor, placed in the front of the car, which draw it through the air in the same manner as the propellor of an airplane drags the machine after it. "A line has been built already be tween Seal Beach and Venice, in Cali fornia, and is said to have proved the dependability, comfort and speed of the new form of transportation.

Republi CAN Corner Adams and Second St. Print Shop Phone 4331 shave with a safety razor ONE of the most surprising reversals of opinion ever known in the history of shaving has suddenly come about. In the past four months since the introduction of the new Gil lette razor, the BIG FELLOW more men have given up the old fashioned way of shaving for the Gillette habit than in any similar period of time heretofore. Many of them, men who had always looked upon the safety feature of the Gillette as its only advantage and one that they did not require of a razor. There vas something about the Big Fellow, the Gillette with the longer handle and heavier head, that appealed to them the instant they saw its size and felt its weight andbalance. And the men who used to think they couldn't shave with a safety razor are making the Gillette Big Fellow their particular razor and the fastest selling razor that has ever been placed on the market The man who excuses his use of an old-fashioned razor on the ground that he has a tender skin and a wiry beard, often tells1 this to a safety razor user who has a much more difficult face to shave.
