 PHOENIX IS GETTING GOOD During the past month fewer arrests were made by the police department than in many months. From all indi- cations Phoenix is getting good. In the month of October siXty-seven ar rests were made and last month ten less. Yet with fewer arrests $235 in fines was turned over to the marshal as against $164 for the preceding month. Most of those arrested were on charges of Vagrancy and in nearly all cases they were given the option of leaving town or doing time.

 T think there is a great field in Ari- zona for automobiles. Although the roads are not so good as they might
 be, they are better than in most parts of California. Another thing that helps the automobile industry to some extent is the lack of railroads. For instance people who go to Roosevelt often are almost compelled to own a

A Christmas Protest.

T am not a professional growler," stat ed the old bachelor last night, "and ani perfectly willing that the boys shoot fireworks at Christmas in spite of the fact that in so doing they attempt the celebration of a Christmas anniversary with heather invention.
 But l cannot see, and I have tried to see, why grown men will walk the streets of a large city Christmas eve night, blow ing tin trumpet into the ear of an old man, or the face of a little girl!
 ''ro tell you the truth, on more than enc occasion today-it having been neces- sary for me to appear often on the streets, much against my wish-I was tempted to take a hand in the celebration in another fashion. l have witnessed more exhibi- tions of rudeness today than in many months. But my better judgment pre- vailed, and some individuals have escaped face punching which they deserved, and l, a time in the jail, which l would not have deserved.

A SLEEPING CAR EVIL

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 While Dr. Wiley chief chemist of the department of agriculture, is busy discov- ering and tabulating the germs in the at mosphere of sleeping cars, public atten- ton might be profitably centered upon sleeping car evil which could be rem edied without any considerable expense or inconvenience.
 In the lavatory of the sleeper the rule is that at least half of the passengers make use of a metal wash bowl when brushing their teeth. The blame lies to certain extent, of course, with the passen- gers. But anyone who has travelled upon sleeping cars has found, to his great inconvenience and annoyance, that among travellers there are countless men who are not cleanly, even in an elementary way. The result of existing customs and the ex- isting lack of suitable conveniences is that the passenger who objects, quite aside from any fear of contracting dis cases, to sharing with his eellow-passen- gers wash bowl that is freely used as cuspidor by the less aesthetic portion of the travelling herd, must content him. 'Nt- 0itii pti AOlliliiE Ills aDluJlO1S NiIn the corner of a dampened towel The dangers of infection resultant upon the oordition existing are numerous and need not be enlarged upon. It would not be difficult for the corporations that operate sleeping cars to enforce rules against the improper use of lavatory facilities, even if they should not agree to increase them. It might be we'll for the careful traveller never to make use of a wash powl that is used in common by the pas sergers on a sleeping car, put nine out of ten passengers dislike to mop their faces with a wet towel, and the common wash bowl is quite generally used. It ls not necessary to know anything about Dacterlology or to have any exaggerated fear of germs to know that the lavatorv facilities now furnished and unprotected by any apparent effort to direct the at teLtlon of the travelling public to the inn portanee of observing elementary rules of cleanliness are foci for bacteria.

BIG RATTLEsHIP ANCHORS.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 'If some of the sea worthies could come to earth and get a look at the anchors which were recently turned out in the Charlestown navy yard they would not believe their eyesight, said H. M. Knight of Boston. "Battleships nowa- days carry four anchors. These have been cast heretofore, but they were lla- ble to break at the wrong time.
 "They were so big however. that it seemed there was no other way to make them. Finally it was decided to try and forge an anchor of the size needed at the Charlestown navy yard. Accordingly five men were set at work on an anchor which was to weigh 176OO pounds. The men worked on the anchor a month and then turned out one that stood all the tests and was accepted. Now they are making those anchors in the yard in sets of four for shipment wherever they are needed.
 These anchors will hold the largest batteships afloat unless they are caught in a hurricane. They are immense af- fairs They are Fifteen feet long from crown to shackle and about nine and a half feet across from point to point. The palms at the arm ends, which get the grip on the bottom, are g inches wide. Several sets have been shipped to the Pa eifie coast to go on battleships at the stations on that coast.

Making Steel At Gary

The first blast furnace at Gary was blown in on Monday last and the pro- duction of iron and steel at the new plant has been begun. The plant will be increased from time to time until 25,000 men are employed.
 The plant is located near Chicago, but it is in the state of Indiana, and just now that state is thinking more about iron and steel making than of literature or politics.
 When Gary is in full operation the Steel corporation will have three great points of production-Pitt Bir- mingham and Gary. When the Panama canal and the Warrior river are opened it's Birmingham plant may be increased to outrank either Gary or Pittsburg, for here all materials lie close together, and there will here be six-foot slack water navigation the year round. Ice will deprive Gary of water transporta- tion half of the year, and ice and drouths permit Pittsburg to have water transportation but about three out of every twelve months.
