decoration, quality and style. Manu-
facturers design them for many uses
and consider the needs Of those who
convert them into accessories OF dress
SD furnishings. Any number OF the
personal belongings Of women and
children are easily made from them,
and, what with the real beauty of the
handkerchiefs and the hand work in
volved, these little gifts embody the
essentials of tasteful Christmas gifts:
no matter how small the cost.
Handkerchief for fancy work and
dress accessories may be bought for
less money than other equally attrac-
tive articles. They will cost from five
TO fifty cents each. The average for
pretty, daintily finished linen ones will
be in the neighEorhood Of twenty
cents; good designs may be had for
fifteen cents, showing printed borders,
and a quarter will buy a good grade Of
lipen. with some embroidery. Narrow
hen;stitched edges or small embroi-

EXPANSION OF THE
 WATER SERVICE ACRES
Class and C Lands Taken in More
 Explicitly Located.

! The Republican published yesterday
 the story of the announcement of Su- [ perviSing Engineer l.. C. Hill to the eff
 feet that class B and class C lands in
 nine different townships will now be
 served with water both normal flow
 and stored, when needed, on the same terms as class A lands. thus adding
 about 10000 acres to the area assufer
 of permanent supply. It will be of interest to settlers who may not have map handy and yet may know the
 number of their own section, to be told a little more explicitly where these lands lie. which information is here with given. Those who gather from
 the description. that their properties
 are among those designated. will do
 well to look at a map that the may
 not sleep on their opportunities.
 Township north range , east is
 northeast of Phoenix and is the town ship including the town of Glendale. Township north range 3 east is
 the township the southwest corner of | which embraces the north half of Phoe- ! nix
 Township north range east, is
 the township immediately east of the one described above.
 The above three townships include everything in a parallelogram the south line of which runs through Phoenix. the north line of which runs eighteen miles due east from Glendale. the east line of which runs from northeast of Scottsdale to the sandstone buJtes near the Holein- the Rock. and the west line : of which runs due south from the west line of Glandale to the Yuma road. This area takes in practically the heart of the north side, every acre Ot which can now get water in class A, B or C. Township 1 north range east and township l north range east. is an area six miles north and south by twelve miles east and west. Mesa City is about the center of the west half of this area. which extends some dis , tance east of the Highland canal. Townships l south range east. south range east and south range 6 east. is a pdrallelogram 6XlS miles of which Kyrene is near the center of the west third. SD it takes in a strip three miles north and three H.iles south of Kyrene and for fifteen miles due east of that point.
 Township south range 6 east is di- rectly south of the most .asterly town ship of the three described in the pre- ceding paragraph.
 To put it still more graphically, the townships named include the major portion of the signed lands m the cen ter of the tiled district on both sides of the river. with the exception of the township of which Tempe is th2 center. The other areas not included are along the fringe of the reservoir district on all sides. chiefly the area south of Phoenix and the three westerly town ships that lie along the Asua Fria river.

ONCE A SUBJECT

NOW OF NEW YORK, FORMERLY
 OF BUCHAREST
A New York Society Woman Visiting Phoenix

Although Mrs NJ A Smith, now stopping at the Adams Annex, regis ters from New York City. where she is numbered among the most brilliant of eastern society. she refers with greater tenderness to her memories of Bucharest. the capital of Rou- mania. her girlhood home. In her infancy a , subject of the beautiful Carmen Sylva, the most gifted and popular queen in Europe, she is still regretful of the charming city which is known as the Little Vienna" and of the refined social atmosphere of Bucharest
 Eighteen years ago Mrs. Smith left Roumania to come to the United States but during that time she has crossed the water many times, and has visited Bucharest frequently. The innumerable points of interest throughout Europe are familiar to her through constant travelling and tour ing. and she has also visited during this time every state in the Union. holding it as an obligation resting upon her to familiarize herself with the country of her adoption With the spirit of an indefatigable sight seer she has explored the national parks. and there is scarcely an out of the way village or town in the United tates which she has not at some time or other visited. With limitless wealth at her command. and the prestige of her high social posi- tion. she has had the opportunity to know the world and to familiariZe herself with strange out of the way places and peoples which are en- tirely removed from the intimate knowledge of the great mass of peo- pie.
 In an interview with a reporter of The Republican last night Mrs. Smith spoke chiefly by his invitation of the conditions now prevailing in her own country. with which she is as familiar as actual residents of Bucharest, having followed with the greatest interest all the political changes in ROumania. Referring to the rule of the HOhenzollernS she affirmed that it had been equitable and just. and eminently to the lik- ing of the people. who bear no af- lection for their king and queen which is quite unparalleled in any mon archy on the globe Through her large charities and beneficences Car men Sylva has made herself the ob- jcct of the peoples love, and in spite of the fact that she is childleSs. they stand by her with unswerving loyalty and devotion. This steadfast devo- tion of the people may he appreciated when the almost parallel case of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland is

This feat is said to be one of the most hazardous projects eyer attempted, owing to the trade winds which blow steadily from Colon south to the city of Panama at sixteen miles an hour with many cross currents prevailing.

cited. Her place in the hearts of the people was regarded as assured, but their clamorings for an heir tO the throne caused her counselors great uneasiness as to the support which the dynasty might continue to receive from them. The general un- rest of the country was finally paci- fled and quieted upon the birth of a son. Carman Sylva's childlessness has caused no deviation of the loyal ty of her subjects, and the crown will fall to d prince of the house of Hohenzollern who has been desig- mated as the heir to the line. This prince has an English wife who has made herself popular in Bucharest, and there is at present every likeli- hood of the new monarch receiving the same manifestations of love and devotion which have attended the reign of King Carl.
 At the time of the Turko- Russian war Mrs Smith was a small child but she recalls the quartering of Rus sian soldiers in her fathers home with distinctness. It was this war which gave Russia part of the territory of ROumania. and allowed Germany tO place a prince of the house of Hohenzollern on the throne, The country is today under the pro- lection of the German empire. and is enjoying a period of the greatest prosperity and happiness.
 Mrs. Smith will remain in Phoenix a few days longer. when she will go to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado It is one of the few great sights she has still to see. and after week at the Fl TOvar she plans to return to New York. sailing for Europe early in the summer.

coNVALEScENT MEN FOR NEWS
 BOYS.

The regulation of children in the street trades has been the subject of recent legislation in a few states and in several cities. Most important of the street trades as far as children are concerned. is the sale of news papers and periodicals. The dangers incurred in this occupation have been clearly demonstrated in your maga- zine At present We are unable to control this type of work under our child labor laws, owing to a legal technicality which makes newsboys independent merchants.

We refer to the case of the young woman who was recently killed by a street car. and of her family She was described in the newspaper account of the accident as a "colored" woman. It being crime in Louisiana to say that any white person has negro blood. satisfaction was demanded. when a search of the records showed that some generations back there was colored blood in the family.

 Now the question I wish to raise is, why not do away with both of these evils at once. by letting the discharg- ed tuberculosis patients take the place Of the newsboys? The outdoor work is just what the convalescents need to complete their recovery, and would not their substitution for the children solve the street trades problems as far as newspaper selling is concernedz Alexander Fleisher, in The Survey.
