 COOKING IN SCHOOL Bachelor Girls Take Hopei Here's Chance to Win
 a Husband

NEW YORK, May 31.-Let the bachelor girl take hope. A cooking school for foung men has been started by Mrs. c. H. Falitz in Grace Chapel here. There are sixteen mem- bers of it and by the first of July sixteen young men will be able to broil or roast a piece of beef. It is promised that any of the six teen will be able to bake biscuits that will make mother ashamed of the sOggy kinds she made
 In the sixteen there are the mak- ing of sixteen happy homes. Sixteen young women with the proper amount of tact will be able to gather them in and by praising their cooking before and after marriage will be able to keep them over the kitchen range for the rest of their lives.
 Mrs. Falitz, who has taught thou sands to cook, says she never had a better class and Dr. c. Fl. Bettame, vicar of Grace Chapel is enthusiastic. B was his plan.
 Seventeen were in the class when it started One fell down at the first lesson. One of them, with one lesson, made a pie and carried it home His mother not only ate it. but lived to ask for the recipe.

GERMANY WANTS IN
 ON PEACE PROPOSAL
Willing to Join United States in Arbitration Treaty,
 Say Papers

BERLIN, May 3i.-The Nord Deutsche Albemiende Zeitung leads off its issue of yesterday with an announcement of the steps Germany has taken toward arbitration.
 After the United States indicated to Germany her readiness to nego- tiate a broader arbitration treaty with other powers as well as Ing land," the newspaper says. Germany expressed a wish to see the draft of the arbitration proposal and also in- dicated her readiness to take up the study of the proposition. The draft of the treaty will arrive here in 8 short time"
 To the above statement can be add ed the semrofficial expression of opinion that Germany, like Great Britain and France. is most sympa- thetic toward President Taft's arbi- tTation proposals.
 Leading newspapers like the Frankfort Zeitung welcome the news of the suggested treaty, though they find the project open to improvement on important points.

STATEHOOD ID COME
 UP AGAIN FRIDAY
InSurgent Republicans May Try to Eliminate Vote
 Feature

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 31- the statehood resolution which pass ed the house last week Is now in the hands of the committee on ter ritories in the senate. This com. mittee will hold a meeting Friday when 1t is expected that some action will be taken by the committee.
 Whether the committee will agree with republicans in the house and offer an amendment to the resolution absolutely eliminating the recall feature of the Arizona constitution is not known. It is understood that the republican insurgents win at tempt to so amend the resolution in the senate that 1t would proviGe for the admission of Arizona without any interference whatever with it's constitution. This was the desire of Hon. Geo. W. P. Hunt, when he made his first trip here in the in. terest of statehood, but on his sec ond visit he agreed 10 the resoiu- tion as it passed the house.
 Mark Smith was before the senate committee recently and argued for the admission of Arizona on the constitution as it was prepared and ratified in convention. But such action is believed to be impossible because of the opposition of Presi- dent Taft to the recall of the judiciary.

USES FAMILY COOKE
 STOVE ID PUMP WATER

PHOENIX, May 31.-At the home of Alfred P Olson, 2O9O East Wash ington street may be seen the new est and most i>Oyed private water works plant in this city, constructed by Charles D. Saxton of Boise, Ida ho, in accordance with devices on which he has recently secured pat enJs. His purpose in tIldirg ih,s plant is to introduce his invention in this locality. The novel feature is that with the daily fire ia the kitcl- en stove, enough steam is generated to pump sufficient water from a nearby well through suction, auto nlaticalIy. to keep dued a 2OO-galion water tank on the roof of the house, which serves as a reservoir answer ing all the household needs and even
 furnishing water for the stock in the barn. The cost of installation is from S75 to S10O, according to the height of the house and depth of the well, and the amount of pipe needed. The operation of the plant costs nothing as the daily fires for cook , ing, which would be burning anyway, are. ample for steam generation. On the back of the kitchen stove is an ordinary water hesaer or coil in which the steam is generated. A pipe connects it with an ordinary cylindrical water tank standing near the stove. From the top of this tank on the roof to the one near the
 stove. A large suction pipe also | equipped with check valves runs | from the tank near the stove down | the wall.
 | All being ready to start a little water is taken to the roof with which to prime the apparatus, and poured into the big tank. A fire is | built in the stove, generating steam ! in the coil. This escapes into the
 cylindrical tank nearby and drives
 the air up through the check valve pipe leading to the roof tank. A little water percolates back from
 the roof tank through the smaller ] pipe and into the cylindrical tank, 1 condensing or killing the steam and ] leaving a yaccum immediately be- 1 gins to suck or draw the water
 out of the well filling the cylindrical tank All this time more steam is being made in the coil and the pro cess goes on automatically as lon 3 as the fire burns in the stove. When it goes out of course the water plant remains in status quo until the next fire is started again, but the plant being already filled with
 water it needs no priming after the first time, unless it is allowed to re
 main unused so long the water be comes exhausted.
 The inventor claims that the ordi
 nary use of a heating stove will
 with this process run a plant large
 enough to supply any ordinary household. NIT. Saxton says be has all the water he requires for all
 household purposes and also pipes
 water Q his barn.

TITANIC LAUNCHED
 AT BELFAST YARDS

BELFAST. May 31-Enthusiastic crowds lined the banks of the River Laffan and cheered lustily as the White Star Lines great steamer ''Ti- tanic' was launched with appropriate ceremonies this morning. h
 The Titanic" will enter the White Stars New York-SouthamptOn ser rice late in the year, but her sister -essel, Olympic" steams from South lmpton two weeks hence for New fork, and these two sea monsters, aach 45.0O0 tons register, SS2 l-2 feet ong and 92 feet broad. boast the distinction of being the largest and lnest vessels in the world.
 These massive ships are also not able for the enchanting beauty and he unusual spaciousness of their ,assenger accommodations, and in irst, second and third class the great st comfort is promised. On both steamers swimming pools, tennis anu 'andball courts and Turkish and cleo. ric bath establishments are among he innovations introduced for the
 leasure of the passengers.
 Viewed in the light of their inter national commercial importance alone, the olympic" and Titanic" will ac- complish wonders in cementing ra- cial friendship and thus more surely advance the cause of world wide peace than could many flying squad rons of frowning dreadnoughts.
