New Move is Made by the War Depant- mel in Interest of Economy and
 Efficiency.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 28.- Secretary Stlmson, acting on an exhaustive report by the generals of the army staff, has decided no less than sixteen, and probably eighteen existing army posts. will be abandoned at once. fin order to put an end to the extra vagance, and ineficiency result ing from improper distribution of the mobile army"
 Among the forts condemned are Forts Apache and Whipple, Arizona. The former it is said, because of possible Indian trouble near the post still exists and may be retaind, Anothe formidable list of posts winch, while not recom- mended for abandonment are de- clared not to be located with view to securing economy, and consequently the garrisons will not be increased an ultimately will be withdrawn to such con- centration centers as congress may authorize.
 The report of Stimson was made in answer to a house re- solution introduced by Reresent- i've the BuIlkely, of Ohio Inquiry developed interesting informa- tion regarding the plans of milit- ary strategists for the future disposition of the army and its improvement. The principal ob- ject is to dispose ot the present small army with distinct refere- nee to it's mission in case of war. The first involves adequate for eign garrisons, which cannot be reinforced from the United States after the rest of the army, a mobile force can be organized and distributed to about eight great strategical points in the United States instead of scatter to 49 posts as now Four posts recommended for retention are: Sill. Okla, Bliss, Texas. Huachu- ca. Arizona; neded cavalry out posts, Myer Va, in proximity to the capital.

If plans made by Governor Sloan are carried out. Arizona will be admitted to the Union and it's first set of state officers assume the oath on Lincoln s birthday, February 12.
 "As soon as the day is made certain, /" said Governor Sloan, this afternoon. I shall issue a proclamation calling upon the people to lay aside all business on that day in order that it may generally be observed as holi- day.
 Lincoln had much to do with the organization of the Territory of Arizona, which happened dur ing his term. It was in a way a war measure, and he was in active support of the bill creat- ing the territory.
 It is more than fitting that Arizona become a state cn Lin coln's birthday, and I believe that President Taft will be pleas ed to take this into consideration when he issues the proclamation.
 If Febuary 12 is to be the day Ishall ask that we be notified by wire early in the day in order that the state officers may take the oath during the afternoon.
 If thus can be understood in advance the different organiza- tions. which are interested in the matter. will have time to make arrangements for a celebration in honor of the day.
 Friday night Governor Sloan will send to Washington, D. C., by special messenger, the complete returns of the canvass that is now being completed. The re- turns will be in President Taft's hands on February 2, and will be turned over by him to Secret arv of State Knox, who will ex- anime the record and prepare the proclamation. Goverenor Sloan figures that these details will about take the matter up to February 12.
 As yet Governor Sloan has not decided W he will carry the retuns to Was hington. The journey will be made in the shortest possible time, the messenger using only the fasest trains available.
 While not yet officially fixed it is safe for those interested in the and inauguration to begin to make their plans for February 12.

L TO ARIZONA, THE sUN-KIssED LAND.

O, Arizona, Sun-klSSed Land; Thy day of birth is near at hand; Upon thy mountain's rugged crest, Thy native sons still call thee blest; Within thy valleys broad domain, In love. thy foster children reign Fair Land of gold and sunny peace, Of flower and vine and rich increase, Of cloud kissed hills and wooded wold, Of countless mines and wealth untold.
 CHORUS.
 Hail: all hail to Arizona
 Sound her praise from sea to sea: Land of sun ard summer showers, Land of grain and gold and flowers. In Columbia's diadem
 Of jewels rare thou'lt be the gem, Hail to Arizona, the Sun kissed Land. Primeval stands thy forest grand, The ancient Zunis fatherlsnd, Thy plan and lofty mountain round, Were many moons his hunting ground, Unbosomed in thy suns bright ray His olden ruins slow decay; Where once the tribes ot Ishmae's band Marauding wandered o'er the land, The mighty Phoenix" rose fame From the ashes of destruction's flame.
 (Chorus.) Hoary with age, thou still art young, Land of renown with praise unsung; Nature with master hand Hath carved thy wondrous Canyon Grand Magician-li like her wand she piled, And To: thy Forest Petrifed; From craggy peak of Castle Dome, From Copper Queen to Rich Jerome. She pours her lavish treasure forth In molten streams of priceless worth
 (Chorus) Not all thy riches. glorious Land, Are due alone to Natures hand. For man with unremittlng toll Brings forth bounty from the soil; From vine clad hills and limpid streams, From fruitful vales where plenty teems Over verdant fields he points with pride, Where focks and herds are scatterd wide To Schools where art and skill combine To homes Tn love and truth enshrined.
 (Chorus) Proud Land, thy rock-ribbed hills record The history of mighty horde; The onward tread of centuries old Hath left it's imprint strong and bold On the hearts and lives of thy brave sons In the winsome grace of thy fairer ones; Thy Riders Rough valiant band, With loyal hearts forever stand To guard the flag that floats above Thy homes where reign content and love.
 (Chorus.)

ZINC SMELLING.
Not a Modern Art, Since II Was kno~n
as Early as 1913.

For many years the art Of zinc smelt-
ing was supposed 10 be relatively mod
ern among mctaIlurgicaI processes an0
to be due to lie invention Of the Able
Daniel Dony. chemist Of Liege, the
story Of whose accidental discovery In
1905 is classical.
The particular type of Belgian fur
mace may indeed be credited to Dony,
but 1t has long been doubtful whether
he was entirely unacquaintcd with pre-
yious undertakings. Thus 1t Is well
known that the manufacture of spelter
was begun In Upper Silesia abe 1893
1900 by Johann Ruhberg, who learned
the art In England (where zinc smelt-
Ing was then being carried on by the
English process Of distillation down.

zinc smelling in Carinthia in 1899.
AS remarked by ingalls, In 'Produc-
ton and Properties Of Zine" at Is In

later there should have been no knowl-
edge In Belgium Of what was being

MAKING CLOUD PICTURES.
Some Useful Hints That May HelP
Amateur Photographers,

Your cloud picture depends largely
upon your choice Of Il subject. Rivers
and small lakes, mountains and hills
lend the best contrast. while trees in
the immediate foreground come next.
Wide expanses OF level lands or vast
stretches Of water are unsatisfactory.
If you desire an ocean cloud effect be
sure to place cliff or some prominent
landmark in the foreground to break
the monotOny.
The exposure for cloud effects, made
necessary by the laws Of light and OPP
tics, Is necessarily very rapid Anon
alous as 1t may seem, this does not pre-
suppose an extra rapid lens. In fact,
such one may defeat the very object
you hope to attain. | make my cloud
scenes with an ordinary rectilinear lens
by preference The exposure with an
eight stop should be the maximum
speed of the ordinary shutter. If the
day Is exceedingly brilliant the stop
must be correspondence decreased,
The great danger Is In over exposure,
thereby disSolving your cloud. Charles

Meals In the Dark Aces.

Few references can be found as to
the manner in which q meal was serv-
ed and eaten during the dark ages. AS
near rs we can learn, the soup was
put in big bowl with ears, called a
''porringer" There was seldom a
spoon for each person. Those who had
spoons dipped them into the porringer,
and the liquid was carried directly to
each mouth. Those who were without
spoons drank their soup from the por-
ringer, holding 1t by one Of the ears.
or else borrowed a spoon of their
neighbor The meats We're placed in
large vessel in the center of the Ia
BILE. Each person present Mt the meal
picked out with his fingers such bits
as he desired. One or two knives an
swered for half dozen guests. Those
who were without knives borrowed
from those who had them, AS a rule,
the guests Mt table used their own
knives There IL no evidence that
napkins were supplied to guests at
this period. AT any rate. no mention
Is made OF them.

Probably you have noticed that the
openings in the belfry of church are
usually filled with a number Of slant
ing boards, sometimes covered with
lead. These are improperly called
louvres. and many persons imagine
that they are so arranged as to keep
out the rain. The right name for these
Stats is abatsons, a word that means to
throw down
Their use is not to keep out the rain,
because the wet does not hurt the bells
at all and rain can beat in through the
openings very easily. They are de
signed to turn the sound of the bells
