This Congress Has Designs.

Contrary to expectation, according to a dispatch, the present congress evidently expects to consider the Ari- zona constitution. Though there Is yet no constitution ready for submis- sion to the president and congress. and though there will be none until after ratification one week from to- day-in fact. though in the ordinary course Washington cannot be officially informed of the existence and ratifi- cation of the constitution within the next five weeks, the document on Wednesday was formally presented to the senate by Vice-President Sher- man and was ordered printed. We recall that during the convention the gentlemen who were directing opera tions complacently observed the flight of time. and replying to, suggestions for greater expedition if we were to be admitted to statehood early, said that there was really no hurry; that the constitution would no doubt meet a friendlier reception in the next congress
 That was an assumption without a sound basis, but it perhaps contributed to the leisurely movements of the convention leaders, who occupied the full sixty days allowed by the enabling
 
 In all the circumstances the con- ciusion is not unnatural that when the constitution committee reaches Washington it will find that its self appointed task has been greatly changed

TO MAKE THE HOME BEAUTIFUL

There are so many little things we can do that cost little. both in time and money, yet count so much in the making of the Home Beautiful. For instance, take papa's old pants: how many of you stop to think out the possibilities of using them in the home? And yet they can be used in more attractive little ways. when off papa. than you would ever dream was possiblei
 l have one bright little friend who has utilized them in such a pretty, sweet way, by making hanging jar dinieres. This she does by tying the bottom of each leg with bows of rib bon, filling the whole with sand, then planting ferns at the top and hanging them up by the suspenders.
 This is a particularly pretty decor ation for a bay window, especially if papa is a stout man, for then. of course, the contour of both the pants and the window coincide, which is al- ways a good point in interior decora- ton, as all lines should be harmoni ous.
 Another pretty idea is to use them as parlor portieres This can be done with very little work and small ex pense. by tacking the waistband to the upper frame of the door and draw ing a leg back to each side of the door frame and fastening it there with a cord or bright ribbon You have no idea. girls. what a sweet ef- feet this gives, and it is absolutely good taste for any room or hall.
 If they are so worn as to be fringed at the bottom. so much the better, as fringed portieres are oftentimes head somer than when only hemmed. Red flannel underpants are especially pretty and cheerful used in this way during the winter. while all weights and colors look we'll at the windows during the entire year. if draped over lace curtains.
 Of course a great deal depends on the size and shape of your papa If he be tall and slender one of his legs will make long pincushion. such as are so much in vogue now for dress ing table use. This can readily be done by cutting the pants leg the de- sired length, stuffing with sawdust and sewing securely at both ends. When covered with a dainty bit of lace this makes the prettiest cushion maginable.-Helen s. Woodruff fin Harpers Weekly.

PHoENIX, ARIZONA, FEB. ?, 1911
The Pressing Problem of Nor. School.

At the Central school building this evening. at thirty, there will be a meeting of interested electors of the city school district The meeting, called by the trustees of the dis trict, will be an informal conference on the question of providing more room for the rapidly growing school population of Phoenix.
 The new grammar school building on West Adams. which will be com pleted this spring, will not nearly meet the call for more room. Next fall it will be found that. notwith- standing the construction of this new building, there will be an urgent need of more room-a need even more pressing than that which confronted the district when the new building was undertaken.
 How to provide the additional room for the school children is the question before the trustees. It is a question on which they want the advice of the taxpayers of the district.
 On the East Van Buren site, pur- chased a year ago, there should be constructed a building as large as that now going up on West Adams. There should be also a large ward building in the southwestern section of the town: another building in the northwest, and substantial additions to such of the old buildings as are in a fit condition for additions.
 To meet the actual. pressing re- quirements of the district there ought to be available some two hundred thousand dollars.
 It is doubtful, however. whether it would be practicable-on account of debt limitations fixed by law-to is sue additional bonds to exceed one hunded thousand.
 If the site on which the Central building stands could be sold for satisfactory sum, and the proceeds of the sale put into new buildings, it would be possible to avoid for some years another bond issue. But 50 far as the trustees know, there is now no purchaser in sight for the Central block. Most unwisely, the electors voted last spring-by a narrow mar gin if is true-against the proposition to sell this block At that time there was a purchaser for the property.
 It is hoped that there will be large gathering of representative tax payers this evening to confer with the trustees on the very vital ques- ton of ways and means.

"A CASE OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGE
 MENT.

What scientific management means is admirably illustrated by the story of bricklaying. so well given in MT. Gilbreth's testimony Ordinarily a brickmason makes eighteen different sets of motions in laying d single brick. He bends over. in the first place. to pick up one brick, and in lifting it he lifts ten pounds of brick and about one hundred pounds of brickmason-the upper part of his own body. In laying 1000 bricks in a days work. he lifts 100000 pounds of brickmason. So a common laborer was hired to put the bricks where the mason would not have to stoop for them. Another thing is that when a mason picks up a handmade brick, which is always a little thicker at one side than on the other, he losses the brick up, turning 1t over until his touch tells him which side is the top. before he puts it in place in the wall. The cure for this was to have all the bricks piled top-up before they were brought to the masons. Then. further. every one has seen the mason tap his brick several times to settle it into the mortar. More waste of time. The cure was to make the mortar thinner. so that the weight of the brick would settle it into the right position. This was scientific management. for it successfully raised the days work for the average brickmason from 1000 up to 2.7OO bricks a day. and in individual cases to much higher figures. The mason made only six motions where he used to make eighteen.-Benjamin Baker in American Review of Reviews.

JUNGLE JoE's" GOOD FORTUNE.

Uncle Joe" Cannon Is uoted as say ing to a Washington correspondent: I'm always asleep five minutes after I hit the bed"
 We believe it; and we repeat the statement here because we believe a man who is always asleep five min utes after he. hits the bed is the only true aristocrat the world has pro duced.
 There are only two kinds of men who fall asleep five minutes after they hit the bed-those who have clear consciences, and those who are chron- ically without assets.
 Mir. Cannon belongs to the first named class. And because of the en-

San Francisco is not so near to either end of the Panama canal as New Orleans, but any disadvantage it suffered in that respect was more than offset by its reputation for capacity and hospitality.

HOW LITTLE WE KNOW.

Several women were discussing modern life the other day and one of them said she felt that we missed a good deal in not being able to know people as our grandmothers did when they took their knitting and went out to spend the afternoon. In the cities this may be true. for today women who have domestic affairs to super intend, and church. social and club relations to maintain, do most of their visiting at clubs or the church society. When calls are made they are generally short and rather unsat- isfactory as far as cultivating close acquaintance goes. Many of us can say that we know dozens and dozens of women and yet not one of them knows us as we really arei They know so little of our ambitions and we know so little of their real worth because We meet them only a few moments and under conditions that are not apt to reveal them at their best. Some one has put this condi- ton into very truthful verse. It runs as follows:
 Isn't it strange
 How little we know The people We meet in this world be-
 low2 How We pass our friends from day to
 day, And with only a nod we go on our
 way, When there's so much more we each
 might say
 Isn't it strange
 How little we show What we really feel in this world be-
 low? How we hide. or pass with a merry
 jest, The feelings that are true and best: How much we leave by a clasp of the
 hand Or a look, our friends. as best they
 can, To find what we mean, and to under
 stand
 Isn't it strange?
