Little doing in real estate" is a
complaint one frequently hears on
Phoenix streets by those who forget
from year to year that midwinter has
never in this valley been a season
of activity in real estate movement.
Midsummer. with which we unthink
ingly associate dullness, has always
been a better real estate period,
though the most active season Is an
the late spring, a period extending
from the first of April to the middle
or latter part of June. Why this is
so we do not knew but that it is may
be proven by a reference to the books
of every Phoenix real estate dealer
But however listless the real estate
market may be at present, the in
provement of real estate is going on
rapidly, and building operations for
this year promise to surpass last
years volume.

POPULAR VOTE FOR SENATORS
Evidence OF a General Tendency in
Favor of Change.

The report of the subcommittee OF
the judiciary committee of the United
States senate in favor of submitting to
the several states a resolution for a
constitutional amendment providing
for the election of United States SEN
ators by the direct vote of the people
indicates change in the sentiments
of that body on this question, al

The Philadelphia Press. a d-by

ate to expedite the amendment pro-
viding for the popular election of its
own members. The senior senator
from that state. Mr.. Penrose. has been
one of the most outspoken opponents
of the change. and a few years ago
he exhibited his Beotian qualities as
humorist by lacking on as an amend
ment to a popular election resolution
schedule which assigned the several
states a varying number of senators
in proportion to population, forgetting
that the equality of the states In the
senate is the one piece of the federal
constitution that is not now subject

after all, confined to few subjects. and,
more important still. to few people.
Among the class in which conversation
flourished in the eighteenth century
there was much learning, to be sure,
but there was also much leisure. The
people who gathered at the coffee
houses in London, or at the Holland
house. or inf Nine. de Staers salons, or
at the Sans Souci, and spent hours and
evenings and whole nights in CONVEX
sation. did not, so far as the records
show. say so many wonderful things.
or so many things worth remembering.
There were exceptions. of course. as
there always are, and some of the re-
marks dropped by the participants in
the long talks-by DR.. Johnson. by Vol
taire and by Frederick himself. for
instance.
The point upon which thoughtful
moderns will agree with the complain
ing essayist is that there is really
more opportunity and occasion now for
good conversat ton than there ever has
been. 1t is charged. however, that

priceless lessons of history, the wide,
conquests of man in the domain of ma
ture which this age has to offer. the
people prefer TO talk about trivial
things. and often seem to be unable to
talk about anything else.
OF course, this is not the case. No
body who really knows "the people"
and has any knowledge of what they
talk about. would think OF saying such
a thing. There are ever so many more
things to talk about noW than there
were 200 years ago. Society is more

Current Comment
is CONVERSATION A LOST ARTg

There was a time. so we are often
told, when men and women knew how
to entertain themselves and as many
listeners as might crowd about them
with conversation. That time has gone
by. we are also frequently informed;
and with it's departure the art of con-
versation has declined until il would
be scarcely an exaggeration to say
that it has almost vanished. One es-
sayist, touching upon its now generally
accepted statement, and regretting IT.
as all essayists are inclined to do peri
odically, declares that the "lamentable
lack of conversation" In these days is
a symptom of empty headedness OF the
average man and woman.
OF course. this conclusion Is arrived
at by taking the oblique view. In the
days of good Queen Anne. in the last
days of the great Frederick, CONVERSE
ton flourished: but the conversation Of
those days, it must be remembered. was

Artificial Rain.

To most of the citizens of the arid
region who come from points east OF
the Missouri river. irrigation was I'M
familiar Old ideas of farming had to
be revised The newcomer had to
learn his business over again.
But if he were to go back east now
he would find that that region had
learned something from the west and
that old farms which had been
abandoned are now being reclaimed
even as the virgin desert of the west
is being.
We take from the Rochester Dem
ocrat- Chronicle the following under
the head of artificial Rain:
There is a general impression that
artificial irrigation for the increased
production OIL the fruits of the earth
is principally practiced IN the rich
hut arid sections of the great West
and Northwest The idea is usually
associated with high dams controll
;Isg mountain streams and the distri-
button of stored water through COM
plicated systems of canals and
bitches.
1t now ardnspires that irrigation
on an extensive scale is practiced in
the neighborhood of Rochester in
the adsoining town of Irondequoit
over sixty plsp:s for irrigation by
means % electric power are in oper-
ation In many cases the water is
pumped from wide and deep wells,
and is distributed at opportune times
over the truck farms in the form of
artificial rain In this manner two
and sometimes three crops of vege-
tables are produced from the same
land in one season, adding mater
tally to the bank accounts of the
fortunate truck farmers.

THE WIFF'S PART

What part has a wife in her hus-
bands success? How much can she
do toward forwarding his plans OF
how much can she do towards hold
ing him back from achieving the
thing he has set out to do?
Suppose two men of equal oppOr-
tunity start out in life in the same
environment. Both have aspirations,
ability and energy and both are as
equal in mental equipment as any
two human beings can be. Both de-
sire above all things to succeed. Both
marry about the same time. but there
the resemblance between their fortunes
ends
One man has married a woman
who looks upon marriage as a real
partnership. She is companinoable.
She has a most worthy desire to help
in building the family fortunes. She
realizes her first opportunity and
duty is in making the home as charm
ing and comfortable as she can make
it. The household worries are held in
the background and she never becomes
over curious over her husbands af-
fairs or his engagements. When he
wants to talk of either she listens
intelligently and she talks intelli-
gently about them. She soon ac-
quires the habit of remembering the
things he wants to impress upon her
mind. and before she knows. it. he is
coming to her not only to tell his
troubles and worries. but to have her
help plan further advantages in the
future
1t isn't strange when a man so cir
cumstanced declares, I've got the best
counsellor a man ever had. Why, my
wife's got a better head for business
than / have Whatever success /

know that when | was determined to
do SO and so. she urged me to hang
on. because she could see that it
was the better thing for me to do?
The turn in luck came in a little while
and I've blessed her ever since"
The other man married girl who
would never interest herself in his
affairs further than to see that she
got all his salary when it was due.
She nagged him, held him back from
making the ventures he believed were
for the benefit of the family and
wouldn't consent to his making a
change of employment, when in the
new offer the prospects were better.
though the salary was smaller to be-
gin, with. She lived life in her own
way. but wanted him to have no lib
crty of thought or action. Any won

The difference in the careers of the
two men lay in the fact that one had
secured a helpmate when he married.
and the other had tied a milltosne
around his neck the moment he spoke
the irrevocable words at the altar.

Availability of Planets

Mr. Garrett p. Serviss, discussing
Professor T. ]. Sees recent claim that
he had discovered signs of intelligent
life on the planet Venus. concludes
that the claim is better established
than that of Mr.. Percival Lowell that
there is animal life on Mars.
After reciting the peculiarities of
the latter planet, Mr.. Serviss says:
Venus. in all these particulars, is
the reverse of Mars. 1t is virtually
of the same dimensions as the earth.
and it's gravitstive force is only one
sixth less than that of our planet.
All observations. visual and spectre
scopic, show that it has a dense and
very abundant atmosphere, contain
ing plenty of water-vapor. It is very
significant that its atmosphere ap-
pears to prevent a direct view of its
surface. Many astronomers have as
cribed the apparent yelling of Venus
to the existence of a shield of clouds.
Such a shield would tend to protect
il from the radiation of the sun,
which, owing to Venus's relative near
ress to the center of the solar sys-
tenn. must he about twice as effec-
tive there as on the earth
Argument regarding life on other
planets than our own will be unend-
ing until we have procured stronger
telescopes than those we now have.
but THOSE who contend in favor of the
habitability of other planets have the
best Of it, even though no signs OF
is the best base from which to reason.
1t is not necessary that a planet
should approach our own in size or
that it should conform to the earth in
other particulars in order to be habit
able
Widely different as the conditions
on other planets may be: though they
may be such that animal life such
as we know could not exist there.
hardly conjecturing that some form
OF animal life is not accommodated
by those conditions.
There may be somewhere a sala-
mander race. equal or superior in
intelligence to the human race living in
comfort where we would shrivel in
stAntly as does the moth when caught
in the flame.
Somewhere there may be a race
living in comfort amid degree of
low temperature-below our imagi-
nary 400 degrees below zero
The earth is far from being the most
majestic of the planets. Our entire sol
ar system is small in comparison
with many others. Our sun is pit
fully small orb among the thousands
within our unaided vision.
1t is improbable that the attention
of the creator is centered upon the
earth or that the splendors of the
heavens have been set for our enter
tsinment Such a supposition would
be presumptuous.

Herman has been on his vacation

he has been trying out his new

has 1t In perfect condition. Last
Thursday night Herman took a mile
spin over the bay accompanied by his
fa~ther-in-law, George Heinemann,
and performed some unusual feats.
The trip was so successful that he
has decided to give a public exhibit
ton at 10 O'Clock Sunday morning,
August 20, proceeding to borough
hall and back. IL is his intention on
the return trip to encircle the Dor
cugh hall and alight on top of that
structure. 1t is estimated that he
should reach Camp Hudson at about
11:45.
After leaving the borough hall he
will follow the Kill Won Kull and
Staten Island sound back to camp. 1t
will be noticed that his trip will be
entirely over water, and his reason
for this Is that, in case of a break
down he would surely have a better
chance for rescue, as he Is one of
the strongest swimmers on Staten
Island, having over a score of hand

in that sport.

to fill Herman up with enthusiasm
