| fluence the entires city of Los An geles, and have the city known as the Peace City. Just at this point Dr. Walker smiled and said: Even though Los Angeles is not known in London, England. still she has her place on the map and has her influ- ence. to consider.
 "I may have told some of you people about several gentlemen in London to whom I carried letters of | introduction. asking me about the To- cation of Los Angeles, as to whether | this city is located in California and l how near it might be to Santa Bar bara. Santa Barbara, you see. has ! been sending advertising matter into England and Los Angeles has not " The Lady from Phoenix paused. and looking into the face of the New Conner. continued very slowly to say: What about advertising Phoenix ! How many people in New York city know there is such place as Phoe- nix. Arizona? How many in Chi if you like?
 Why, my dear friend" continued the Lady impressively, there are facts to be told about Phoenix and the Salt River valley that cannot be said of any other place in the United States at the present time. The truth about Phoenix would read like a story from the Arabian Nights.
 "A few days ago I was talking with gentleman from New York city. a brilliant man. man of large affairs This gentleman spent the last two winters in Phoenix. He has large in terests in the Salt River valley. In the course of his conversation he made this statement: Phoenix occupies a unique place among cities. Phoenix is practically independent of the outside world. as far as her food supply. her general living, is concerned. What other city Is so isolated. and yet so grandly independent in her isolation? A great financial panic like that of 1893 or 1907-0S is scarcely felt in Phoenix. Of course, business depres- sion brings extensive improvements (that means the spending of much money) to a standstill in Phoenix as well as in Chicago or New Orleans. but Phoenix may live through hard times in a quiet way. fed and housed and clothed. Phoenix, thank God. may live through dry times now, calling in the water in the Roosevelt basin for the years that are rainless.
 The Lady from Phoenix alighted from the car in haste. the New Conner hesitated a moment and then fol- lowed her.
 Wait for me a moment. please" " said the New Conner. Do you mean to tell me that these facts about Phoenix have never been told?"
 T do," replied the Lady from Phoe- nix. Walk a few blocks with me. .'' continued the Lady from Phoenix, and I will tell you the one great fault that I have to find with Phoe- nix folks: Knowing that Phoenix is so wonderfully blessed by Providence, they have become. to use a common expression s"spoiled' When the sum- mer months bring warm days. and the sun is sterilizing. free of cost. our streets and byways. staying the death dealing bacteria which have gathered in our city during the winter months, we show just how spoiled we are in Phoenix by complaining about the warm days and the life-preserving sun. C
 Yes. PAoenf6 is fine place. and I would not like to live elsewhere. Phoenix has a perfect climate for nine months of the year. But. I'm hot now, and we forget that 500 children under years of age died from the heat in New York city this summer so far; that Chicago. St. Louis. Kansas City, Pittsburg. all have their appalling lists of heat pros trations.
 Look at our Phoenix children right now-rosy and strong. playing all day long in the dry, warm air, almost as naked as they came into the world.
 But I must say good-by to you, New Comer.' said the Lady from Phoenix Here Is the list of the names of Phoenix people I saw in Dr. Hugh Walkers church last Sun day: Mir. Samuel Mitchell, Miss B. Mitchell (Mr. MitchelI's sister). Miss Lora B. Burton. Miss Bertha Knipe. MT. J W. Doris. Mrs. Doris and Miss Doris. Oh. yes. saw Mrs. Laird and her daughter.
