 Its a good lead that many will fol- loW,' according to Mrs. Roy Parsons.
 When a person of Mrs. Osborn's s prominence and position will under take to have knowledge of and improve the home others will commend her att titude and follow her example" is the prophecy of Mrs E. F. Vankirk of the Conservation club.
 T thoroughly agree with Mrs. Os- born that every girl should know how to cook and am going to avail myself of the opportunity of becoming her classmate. I. too, want the practical training and will register in January, announced Mrs. Frank Hilderbran.
 Everyone should know how to cook" said Mrs Clay Parker and Mrs. Charles Munger, who agreed with her, adding that in this progressive age even cook ing has changed and there are ever new ideas advanced "The course will be a splendid help to modern. and up to date home makers she concluded.
 Its a sensible and practical thing to do. I admire Mrs. Osborn's initiative and I'm sure many will join the class said Miss Mabel Hacker.

 Horse and Military Scientist.

Under the supervision of Col. George LeRoy Brown, U. s. A. retired, the ca dets of the University of Arizona are camped in the fair grounds on their annual encampment trip. It is held this fall in preference to the spring as has heretofore been the custom so that the members of the university may have the opportunity of taking in the fair, so that the people of the state may see what the university offers and so the interruption in the classes at the state school caused by the meet ings of the teachers institute may be made to serve two purposes.
 In all there are about 125 students of the university on the encampment trip, all of them housed in tents pitched on the fair grounds. Most of them are freshmen and sophomores, though not a few are preps, and a majority of the officers are upperclassmen, who having had the experience of past years are

Club Women Generally Favor Following Her Lead and Many Evidence b. sire to Take Advantage of High School Courses

Tn the trying hours of judging ex- hibfts and putting the last finishing touches to the decorative features of the Woman's building at the state fair grounds, Mrs c. B. Laird, superinten- dent of the woman's department and her attaches paused to express their commendation of Mrs. Sidney F. Os- born wife of the secretary of state, who has joined the cooking class of the Phoenix high school.

 "It is commendable in Mrs. Osborn to take a stand not because everyone else has done it, but because it is the thing to do' is the opinion of Mrs. w. c. Foster, prominent society leader and club woman.
 Mrs Osborn gave splendid advice when she urged all girls to learn to cook and sew. I am contemplating joining the married women's class the first of the year, said Mrs. Sims Ely, president of the Friday club.
 Mrs. H. H. Wilson of the household economies department of the Woman's club is enthusiastic in her praise of the manner in which the subject is taught in the local schools and the cO-opera- ton given by prominent women of Phoenix.

JAMES REMOVAL NO
REFLECTION ON HIM
White House Explains that Railroad
Arbitrator Had No Financial
Interest in Company.

That Henry ~. James was removed
from his position as the representative
Of the Guayaquil and Quito Railroad in
the arbitration of claims of that rail-
road against the government Of Ecuador
for the reason that as a former officer
of the State Department he had become
familiar with the railroads case, was dis
closed at the White House yesterday.
President Wilson took occasion to deny
reports that Mr.. James was found to have
a financial interest in the railroad corpo-
ration, and told inquirers that the action
of the administration did not reflect in
the least upon Mr.. James personal char
acter or integrity. AS Mr.. James resigned
his position at the State Department as
assistant chief Of the Latin-American
division to accept the appointment as ar
bitrator In the railroad case, he Is now
without any official status Whatsoever.

To- retain him as their representative In
the arbitration.
President Wilson intends soon to APP
point another man to take Mr.. James
place. This man will be chosen from
outside the State Department and the
diplomatic service. Furthermore, the
railroad corporation will not be consulted
by the President in his selection Of
James successor
The rumor that there might be sew
eral changes in the diplomatic service
is not believed to have any foundation.

ANTS IN ATTACK ON
SUFFRAGE SISTERS
At Meeting in Public Library Oppo-
nents Of 'Votes for Women"
Air Their Views.
SENATE HEARING TODAY

So great was the distress Of a man in
the audience at the anti-suffrage meeting
at the Public Library last night at what
he considered the careless use of the
word State" by the speakers. that he
insisted upon making a suffrage speech
from the floor.
He pleaded with Mrs. A. J. George,
anti-suffrage speaker, to give him pre-
else definition Of this word, which he
accused her Of using too loosely m the
course Of her speech, and he appeared
annoyed when she told him that an
absolute definition of this term must be
left to the future to discover.
With the promise of a large attendance
by women socially and politically promi-
nent in this and neighboring cities, the
anti-suffragis predicted last night that
their public hearing before the Senate
Committee on Suffrage at 10 o'clock this
morning in the room Of the Senate Com
mittee on the Judiciary Will be a great
success. The speakers before the Senate
committee will he Mrs Arthur M. Dodge,

of the family; second. toward what is
called feminism,' the destruction of
womanhood, and an increasing tendency
toward militancy, acid throwing, and
bomb throwing English miltancy and
rioting is but a question of time here"
she stated
She said that the suffragists movement
is being developed upon an unnatural
hostility of woman to man. II is an
endeavor to make the individual the unit
Of society instead of the family. This
Mrs. George further explained by quot
ing the words of a leading suffragist,
who said that motherhood and wife
hood have always stood in the way of
our sex"
Miss Lucy Price said that the suffra-
gists owed their overwhelming defeat at
the close Of their second campaign in
Michigan mostly to their own efforts.
She said that they disguised the men
by the use of all the worst campaign
methods employed by the men in bitter
partisan politics.
Mrs. George made a long argument
against granting women the ballot. She
stated that women did not need the
ballot; that their interests wae bet
ter protected without it. In suffrage
States. she said. good effects promised
for the women's vote have not been
realized.

SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY.
This RaIing Was Made by Attorney
General in 1908.


Government clerks can be set free on
any Saturday of any week throughout
the year by the authority Of the heads
OF their departments. and without the
need of any executive order being issued
by the President to constitute Saturday
a half-holiday to government employees.
This Is according to an opinion Of the
present Attorney General, made while
acting In the stead Of Attorney General
Knox, August Is. 1903. No law has since
been made by Congress which would
alter the basis Of the conclusions REACHED
by him at that time.
In his opinion, Mr.. McReynolds ruled
that every Saturday after Il O'Clock Is
a holiday for all purposes within the Dis
trict of Columbia His opinion was
submitted in response to an inquiry from
the Secretary OF War. While there is
nothing In the legislation Of Congress
requiring that the departments be closed
on Saturday. nor any law against car
rying on business on Saturday, heads
of departments have full authority to
give the clerks under them a half-holi-
day on Saturday all the year around.
and not only in the baseball season.
