He gave it as his opinion that the state could legally bond itself for the building of the highways needed. question about which attorneys thus far have differed somewhat.
 Mr Bullard in behalf of the vis- itors thanked the Prescott people Tor their splendid hospitality. Discussing revenue measures he took question and announced himself as heartily in favor of the tax commission plan de- vised by T. F.. Campbell. the assessor of Yavapai county. Such q commits sion would have the present powers of the board of equalization and in addition would be empowered to con- duct hearings concerning any or all classes of property as to the fixing of valuations. The purpose would be to see that all classes of property are taxed at the proper valuation, thus reducing the rate, or to be more eX- plicit, making those who now es- cape full taxation. come in on the carpet. Mir Bullard also spoke at length on the public lands. The gov ernor and attorney general are direct ed by the enabling act to make the selection of the lands donated to the new state by the government He asked that the boards of supervisors in the various counties submit data to them indicating which lands are the most desirable for selection. He also said he would ask the leSisla = ture to memorialize congress to per init the board to select some portion of the lands from the present forest reserves in lieu of desert lands. F. S Clark followed Mir. Bullard with one of his usual witty and interesting after dinner discourses that added to the good humor of the occasion.

Is YOUR NUMBER ON
 STRAIGHT? TESS UP
Council Aids Eforcement of Or. dinance Regulating House Numbers-Much Confu-
 sion Now.
Is your house numbered?


 If your house numbered correctly?
 These questions must be answered in the affirmative by every property owner in Phoenix. and by property owners outside of the city limits who receive water service from the city.
 There has been much confusion of late over locating houses by the water and other departments. An employee may start for q certain number on a certain street and find after long search that there either is no such set of numerals on the street or else that two or three houses have the same number. it frequently appearing on both sides of the street.
 This takes time and the council has been appealed to for aid. City Attorney Prescott says that there is already an ordinance upon tthe muni- cipal statute books providing for a numbering and districting of the city and establishing the distance between numbers. This ordinance was passed some time ago at the instigation of the post office department. and is still in efftct
 The city attorney was instructed at the latest council meeting to dis inter this ordinance and apply it where it will do the most good in strengthening out the numerical tangle into which some sections of the city has fallen. Under this ordinance every house must be accurately la bellcd. wherefor it behooves MT. Clt- izcn to take heed when the man with the badge asks him ;o put his num- bcrS on straight.
 Water users living outside of tho city limits are requested to either number their houses, or to, display the family name in q place where thos' who run walk. ride bicycles. or too automobile horns may read. In these cases the department would prefcl the name. as the city has no authoritN over streets not within the corporate limits. and such numbering would b' subject to change.

There is nothing more discomforting in
the world than to be an attractive

one becomes tongue-ted the moment

A great many girls acquire the gift
of CAB at an early age, and there
after never, stop long enough to give
their unfortunate families time to re-
cover. so that really, my dear Sensi
tive, you are lucky in one way. for
nobody will wish to run away from
you because of your chattering tongue
Of course you are suffering agony be-
cause you. never know what topic of
conversation to begin on, and when
you look into the face of a stranger
who has just been introduced your
mind at once becomes a blank But
really, 1t might be worse. Until you
find your tongue and become an easy
conversationalist, you might practice
being a good listener. If the guests
you want to entertain are men you
will find that listening is more profit :
able than speech.
Few women are attentive listeners,
and nothing is so fattering and 50
courteous as the attitude of the good
listener.
Cultivate the art of listening, and at
the same time make little mental
notes of questions which arise in your
mind, and which will keep the one
sided conversation going in case the
speaker should subside.

all girls and poor conversationalists

am so discouraged because it seems
impossible for me to be even or
dinarily entertaining in society. l
can't remember peoples names or

and this makes me so embarrassed
that l am just stupid. Also I never
have anything to say in conversa-

You can't converse intelligently on

about yourself; how YOU look and
what impression you are making The
self conscious girl is never good at
entertaining others because she is so
busy worrying about herself.
can tell you how two young
women succeeded in making excellent
and entertaining takers of them
selves. and this may give you pointer
to help you in the difficult art of con-
versation.
These two girls were about eighteen
years of age. and they were the daugh-
ter and niece of a widower who was
very fond of entertaining and looked
to his two girls to play the part Of
hostesses. They had to meet strangers,
both men and women, and were al
ways at a loss for subject to talk
about after they had exhausted the
topic of the weather
A dinner had been planned to which
a number Of boresome people were in
vited, and the two girls realized that
there would be no conversation at the
table unless # was supplied by them
so they deliberately set about to read
up Jokes and anecdotes, selecting such
as would be more or less appropriate
TO the occasion and the guests invited
They wrote out bits of conversation
that would lead up to these anecdotes
They learned this conversation and the
anecdotes by heart. and when the much
dreaded entertainment took place they
surprised their guests and themselves
by their brilliant and almost spectacu-
lar display of wit and anecdote.
A Good Lesson.
In that one evening they achieved
reputation for cleverness which they
were forced to live up to. and they read
up and learn by heart all the witty
stories and Jokes which they could get
hold of The knowledge that they
self possessed enough to bring out shy
and retiring guests and lead them on
to talk on interesting subjects. The
girls made rule never to gossip. never
to talk about themselves, never to say
mean or unkind thing about any one
else: when all topics failed they told
one of their carefully prepared stories.
and t1ey are now two of the most
popular women I have ever known.
AS to "Sensitive's' other request that
has to do with the training of memory.
and while there are several excellent
memory schools. the cultivation or
memory is founded on attention ana
concentration. You should be able to
develop your own memory. first by
closer observation. and then by will
