The American Family
From the Atlantic Monthly

From the Atlantic Monthly)
 The American 1People almost in- stinctively, have turned away from the old domestic policy. A large family implies a home in the old-fash- toned sense. but the urban life of Ameriaa necessitates a departure from the home as thus defined. The cramped apartment, with those min istering angels, the kitchenette, the baker. the laundry man and delica- tessen shop, are not adapted to mum. erous children. Children often are not wanted. Tn fact, a man with a large family finds it hard even to se- cure living accommodations in many cities. Thus, in great numbers of communities. the social order has passed beyond the conviction that the large family is @ normal and neces- sary condition, and has adapted it. self to a scale Of living based on small familites, or on none at all.

COMMITTEE PUZZLE
 FOR NEW LEGISLATURE
How They ShaIl Be Naned Is Matter That Must
 Be Decided


 Who will appoint the committees in the new legislature? Democrats in the lower national lawmaking body select their own committees. The same prisiIege is extended to the state legislature if they decide that they want to name the men who win handle the bills in committees. It is customary in many state5 to allow the presiding officers to name the committees, and number of the minor attaches. This may be done in Arizona. and again, it may not. Time only will tell.
 This and many other interesting features are being discussed through out the state. The organization of the new legislature and the naming of the attaches, officers and committees. is an interesting topic for students of politics all over Arizona How ever, there is no phase Of the sItua. tion on which an argument cannot bs laised
 The majority win rule" in the or. ganiziDg of the body. While no one seems to be sure of anything, even .he time of the conyeuing being in doubt, all agree in hoping that the first session may enact such laws, and so conduct themselves and the rev administration in such a manner that they will bring credit to them selves and prosperity and happiness to the new sovereign state of Ari zona

Lear"ed the Lesson Quick
(From Lippincott's)

A Baltimore lawyer had an office boy who was given to telling in oth- CT offices what happend in that of his chief. The lawyer found it neces- sary to discharge him, but thinking to keep him from similar fault in the future, he eounseled the boy wisely on his departure.
 Willie; you must never hear any thing that is said in the office." he said. Do what you are told to do. but turn deaf ear to conversation that does not include you"
 A happy inspiration! He would see that the stenographer learned the same lesson in passing, so. turning to her. he said:
 Miss Brown. did you hear what l said to Willie?"
 NO sir" she returned promptly.
