THE GIRL WHO TRAVELS ALONE.

II will soon be vacation time for the
school girl and holiday time for the girl
who works. Already trips are being
PLANNED. and. as these include journeys

be out of place TO talk little OF the
course of conduct to be followed by
the unchaperoned maiden when she sets
forth in the quest of adventure.
I know of many young women VINO
have a vision of the romantic eScapades
which will attend their travelling eX-
periences In fiction we find so many
happy endings to the making NJ chance
acquaintance. In fact, however such
things rarely happen. The man you
meet on the train is likely, NJ matter

home. or a man of leisure who. like

a sweetheart in every one OF them.

SUMMER SEASON
At IRON SPRINGS
Board of Directors Say Resort Will
Preserve Identity Distinct From
Prescott.

To discuss business relative TO the
beginning of the season at Iron
Springs. the directors Of the Iron
Springs Outing Club met last Friday
afternoon in the offices of w. +.
James. During the meeting a pay
ment on the water works bonds Of the
Iron Springs resort was authorized.
The members Of the club believe
the season will he unusually pleasant
this year. as many new members
have acquired property at the Springs.
among them being 4. G. Hulett, j. =.

fessional men of the city. II is Mr..
Marshalrs intention to add living
room to his cottage, and DIR. Dennitt
will build a new house Other build
ing activity will be carried on during
the summer. and the members of the
club expect to see the resort grow
steadily.
In order to correct an idea which
seems to be prevalent since one OF
the members Of the Iron Springs club
made the statement that the Iron
Springs colony would soon be moved
over to Prescott, the board Of direc-
tors wished to announce that the re-
sort would not under any circum-
stances be moved TO Prescott. The
opening of a summer colony in the
Mile High City has been gratifying

will have more Phoenix neighbors

pect to have in associating with the
Phoenix residents at the summer col
onv will not induce them to give up
their cottages at the Springs and

UNDERWEAR

ONO6N w G<fAN
BY DR.. w. c. Cotton, M. D. 9
A word about underwear.
For winter wooden underwear
is to be recommended only to per-
sons of low vitality, whose sys-
TENS do not readily react to sud-
den changes of weather. This is
because wool is a poor conductor,
and thus serves to conserve the
heat of the body.
Wool is also a poor absorbent
| of moisture, and hence its great
est disadvantage, its tendency to
chill the body when perspiration
is free.
Chilly people who would have
the cake and eat it too can get
around the difficulty of the wool
problem by wearing two gar
ments, one very light cotton gar
ment next the skin and very
light wooden garment over that.
Folks who are full of vitality,
especially children, can get along
better with cotton than with all
wool underwear.
AS the hands and feet are farth-
est from the heart, the blood gets
cooled off before reaching these
parts of the body.
Keep the hands and feet warm
and half the sickness of winter
will disappear.

NO ARRESTS TODAY.
Police Did Not Find 1t Necessary to
Stop CeIebrators.

There were less than half dozen
complaints of violations of the sane
Fourth regulations received by the
police today. No arrests were made
for firing guns or crackers and so lar
as the police have heard there have
been few fired. Perhaps it is the not
weather which keeps the kids within
the limitations of Sabbath proprieties,
but the whole city seems to be in a
comatOse condition.
The operation of a few crap games
in shaded alleys seems to be the only
diversion of the day which is not in
accord with the rules of the day.
These games have been short lived,
breaking up before the police sent
from the station reach their vicinity.
The third arrest made as the result
of a crap game last Saturday was made
this morning when George Afford,
colored lad of Is, was brought in on
warrant. Each of the boys caught ap-
parently tells of another and soon the
police hope to have the whole circle
which flew like bIackbirds when the
Law arrived.

early and with their hands folded In
ecstacy, listen to patriotic airs played
on the piano. If the small boy sat IN
the parlor and listend to the piano it
was because his mother had threaten
ed to give his sister the biggest piece
of watermelon.
And the big policeman who has the
nerve to arrest the boy who lights
frecracker under his coat today is a
poor specimen of humanity. There
was little shooting of hrecrackers on
Kansas avenue. Most of the shooting
was on the residence streets.
One thing about the sane Fourth pro-
postion-it gives everyone a chance to
anti-noise persons have had a day of de-
light. Bands, drills, dances, songs and
personification of Santa Claus in the
form of an Uncle Sam has given them
twelve hours of joy
On the other hand the punk carriers
have either gone outside of the police
beats and aroused the dog from beneath
the porch or they have gone to Nlnewood
park where firecraclkers pop first under
one foot and then the other.
In the evening fireworks displays viii
parks. The sane people will puncture the
Garfield atmosphere and the insane crowd
Will revel at Vinewood.
The rest of the people in town have
piled in their motor cars. their carriages
or in railway trains and have gone out
along the creeks near the city to tight
mosquitoes, break the green scum OF the
streams with their fish lines and invite
an attack of chiggers.
The police report no trouble. IN former
years the Fourth of July was an occasion
for the ''drunks' to invest in supply
of the bootIegger's best and celebrate by
humping the buildings on first one side
of the street and then the other This year
it is different. 1t isn't fashionable any
more to get drunk in Kansas-and besides
there is no liquor to be bought.
The eagle is an abused bird today In
one part of the city he is tied down with
padlocks on his bill and chains around
his wings, Elsewhere he has been permit
ted to flutter a little.

TINS IS INDEPENDENCE DAY

Back in those days of '76 when our
forefathers signed the Declaration of
independence, it meant a great thing
for those lone thirteen colonies. The
freedom, won with Americas blood,
was hailed by the firing of guns and
the ringing of bells. But it was many
years before the good women of this
country began to know freedom from
the duties of spinning the wool,
moulding the candles and curing the
meat. The evolution of labor saving
machinery and methods, has relieved
American woman kind from nearly
every household duty which is a
drudge.
Perhaps the one old custom which
has lived longest since those days is
that Of baking bread at home. Some
housewives even in this enlightened
age cling to this custom of our grand
mothers and yet bake bread at home:
mixing. raising, baking; enduring heat
toll and oftimes disappointment
which il never economical.
Friend if you are one Of those, the
Liberty Bell is ringing for you today;
pealing forth the glad tidings that
there IS bakery bread that IS as good
az the best you ever baked. A loaf
that's big and brown and plump-a
loaf that's moist. fine grained and sub
Istantial. yet perfectly light. wholesome
and full of all the FOOD that nature
put into the wheat.
Keep up with the times-quit buy
ing expensive flour. milk, yeast and
fuel-quit toiling and sweltering in
the kitchen-quit experiencing those
periodical disappointments of bad
batches-listen to the bread Liberty

and each of us contributed to the dis
cussion a mention of the particular
error that he noticed most quickly.
One never heard "she don't" or 'he
don't" without shuddering.
Another never noticed that mistake
particularly but did hate to hear any
one say those kind
A third thought it more than likely
that he offended in either of these di-
+rections but battered himself that he
never said with Ruth and T. the way
some people he knew did.

1t seems to be as difficult to hear
ourselves as others hear Us as to ''see

occasional conversation like this one
OF ours is an invaluable eye opener

 MT. Porter spoke enthusiastically of the splendid development of the dis trict. Birmingham is destined to be the great industrial hub of the south,' he said. There Is always some big new development going on. You are en- larging industrial plants, erecting sky scrapers and handsome homes, opening up new residence sections and locating big new industrial plants.
