TESTING FIRE CLAY.
The Most Practical Method Is to LlH.
 eraIly Eat It.

Fire clay has been ill use for cen. turics. and yet l believe the industry is one which lacks definite laws more than any other. including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence. You can go to a manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod uct by chemical analysis or mechanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine in order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so in the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest Salaried chemists have been employed to make tests. to promote and carry through investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom. The result has been, generally speaking, confusion worse confounded. Two professors working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions. have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions! The same scien- lists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if promi- nent fire clay manufacturer should ex- claim, as l heard one on an occasion after having the above experience. "All tests of fire clay are empirical, and I would sooner trust our superintend- ent to pick and select his clays in the old fashioned way than pay a high fee for a highbrow's recommendations? The chief method of testing fire clay by practical man is literally to eat it. He can detect grit and sand best by that method, and a good fire clay
 free from silica, quartZite or flint clay) is free from grit His only other personal test is by eaperiment.-En. gineering Magazine.

Culinary Mysteries That Bewildsred
 an EnqIishwoman.
 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpeachable; the next we were grap. bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi. geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fillers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where ln every dish had an accompaniment ot smaller ones, containing gravies. etc.. in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish. which, according to custom. was helped from the top side only. for the Chinese remembers his servant And, finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with feel ing of thankfulness that all was over. pipes, cigarettes and tea were served, and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the later soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on us for all things Chinese Mary Moore in London Express.

 ID ELECT TRIP WINNERS
Also Men and Children Are Not Barred From the Bal loting to Select the Santa Barbara Vacation Party Who Will Be Given the Time of Their Lives By the Boston Store

Whether or not Bryan will be a candidate for reelection in 1912 is of no importance compared to the issue which hinges on the coming election in which the people of Maricopa county are especially interested, inas much as 1t will be entirely local, no other section will be affected.
 In conjunction with the new move nnent a tremendous suffragette wave has swept the section. The female vote will cut an immense swath in the decision of the people.
 Men and women will vote equally, end IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE A CITIZEN to have the right to ballot Every man, woman and child who has reached the age of reason is eligible to cast a ballot. So, un- doubtedIy an enormous vote will be cast before the choice of the people will be known.
 The ticket in the field is the list of names of the contestants in the Boston Stores Young Ladies Pop ularity Contest. Four ladies are to be elected-the ones who lead at the close Of the contest July 9th. The chaperone will be appointed by the young lady who secures the highest vote.
 Ballots are issued on cash tickets given with purchases at the Boston Store and may E~ voted by the Pur- chaser or the cash slips may be saved by the customer and given directly to his favorite contestant who can turn in such numbers of cash tickets as she may secure and have voting

DEATH COMES ID
 5. r. P. B P. OFFICIAL
George C. West, Auditor of the Road,
 Died Yesterday at Prescott.

George c. West, auditor for the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix road, died at Prescott yesterday afternoon at o'clock. The news of his death was received in Phoenix, in a telegram sent to Paul P. Hastings. general pas senger agent for the road, who hap pened to be in this city at the time.
 Just one week ago Mir. West came to Phoenix at the advice of his physi- elan who suggested a lower altitude and a complete rest and change. Un- fortunately he arrived here on the hot test day of the year and soon saw that he was not going to be benfted. He returned to Prescott last Sunday. He had been suffering from Brights dis
 ease for some time and about six weeks ago became seriously i'll. But he continued at his desk till q week ago when he was forced to yield. MT. Hastings visited him at his home in Prescott last Tuesday and then he talked Of going to California. but his condition then was such that it is doubtful if he could have been moved.
 George C. West was about forty six years Of age. He is survived by a wire, two grown children by former marriage. little girl. three years old. and d baby girl, born less than two months ago. He has been in the rail- road business all his life and with the exec eption of w. A. Drake was the old est office employe in point of service on the s. F, P.

 The public at large is taking re- markable interest in the contest, and many persons are giving their support to the young women who are making such a laudable fort to satisfy their ambition to acquire the thirty day vacation trips to Santa Barbara with all expenses paid by the Boston Store.
 WHAT CONTESTANTS ARE
 DOING.
 Many of the candidates have start cd right by telling their friends and acqusintances that they want to be winners and that their success de- pends on the votes given on cash tickets. The prospective purchaser then invoices and makes memo randum of what he needs in the line Of clothing, etc. As soon as it is convenient he goes to the Boston Store and makes his purchases and saves the cash slips for the young lady who requested his support.
 One enterprising contestant is watching the marriage records at the court house. When she learns -csho are starting on life's pathway she calls upon the groom, presents her case, and by being first, is as sured that the cash ticket on the bill of goods for the new home will be hers.
 Every purchaser will be pleased to know that he helped some one win a trip and he is bound to vote for the young lady who informs him, that she wants to be a winner.

FASHION MAKERS SAY:

Many shirt waists are worn with a chemisette. For a wool shirt waist, the chemisette should be made of q fine net or a gold colored lace. For a wash waist, use tucked null of dainty all over Swiss embroidery. It is not cor rect to wear a net chemisette with a linen or cotton waist.
 A linen suit of the kings blue, em- broidered with a dark blue sOutache braid, is a suggestion for a natty sum- mer costume.
