Quiet slippers with low heels, rubber heels or no heels at all it is contended will permit pussy-foOting and re- move just that much from the din and hustle of regular traffic.
 Brisbois. Naienzuela and Duncan put in acquisitions yesterday for slippers, size fourteen. These. if found to small, will go to Morren Troutman and McGrath. John Perrin to be distinctive asked for q pair Of 13& slippers. They'll pinch 9 trifle. he admits, but then what pincf or two on the glorious Fourth liar rison Williams and Wilkerson have paired on tWelVeS. while Egly has mOdestly asked for fifteens, although he has not been known to wear smaller shoes than seventeens in sometime. But carpet slippers stretch with use. Meedin has reniged on carpet slippers and has offered witf Behny to go barefOOted or at least in their stocking feet. Chief Moore got hold Of pair of Dan Ceilings slippers yesterday but although they were fifteen. he complained Of their being tight in the instep. So he had the Porter Harness company to make a special pair for him.
 It will be a quiet Fourth. as far as the police of Phoenix are con cerned. although Harry Vadder wont have to discard his wooden shoes until about noon when he comes or duty.

FOR ST.
 MARYS CHURCH.
Building Inspector H. B. ClafIin Authorizes Work on Plans Drawn by Galla- gher < Gray for Hand some Structure

Although up to the close of busi- ness yesterday but three days of July had passed. permits had been issued from the office Building In spector Howard B. Claflin represent ing a valuation of over 1885, 900. The most important of these permits was that for the completion of St. Mary'S Catholic church at an estimated cost for the bare construction of $60,000. This does not mean that the work will not cost more than that figure for the architect estimated long ago that the work would cost in the neighborhood of $90,000, exclusive of the interior decorations and the art glass windows.
 The plans for the structure were drawn by Gallagher X Gray, and Contractor Gallagher just before his death had been given to understand that he would be commissioned to carry in the work As the matter now stands Roy Gray. the architect associated with Mir Gallagher in the drafting of the plans will superin- tend the work as architect, while Contractor Riley will perform the work.
 AS stated in the Republican q day or two ago, the million dollar marx iS likely to be passed in permits is sued this year and the record of the first three days of July seems to further bear out this prediction as the figure is now in excess Of $650,000. There are number of other handsome. high priced build ings planned. permits for which will likely be asked for in a short time Prominent among these is the <or- rick block which will cost upwards or $15,00o together with the Pratt Gilbert block and others.

This is indeed funny old world.
The rich man advises the poor man
to beware of the idea that wealth
brings either health, happiness or
contentment-and yet the old ras-

trying to figure out some scheme. by
which he can add few more mil
lions to his already fabulous pos
sessions! And look at our poor,
struggling preachers-they admon-
ish us with tears in their eyes and
moan in their voice that sounds
like the wind blowing through a
graveyard at midnight, to keep
holy the Sabbath day"-to desc
crate it not in our mad scramble for
the almighty dollar-and yet he de-
ponds absolutely upon Sunday
job, the year round, for a living.

DRIED FRUITS BEING
 SHIPPED TO TEST THE
 NEW NET WEIGHT LAW

Washington, Sept. 29-Ten carloads of dried fruit are on their way from Los Angeles, Cal, to New York, Wash ington and other cities of the east as part of extensive tests being conduct ed by the United States bureau of chemistry to obtain data for the draft ing of regulations for the new net weight law which requires that the contents be plainly indicated on the outside of every package of food. The tests with the dried fruit are to de- termine the amount of shrinkage which takes place in the fruit from the Pa cif1c coast. It is stated by the bureau that many products will lose weight in shrinkage when shipped from a dry climate to another. A crate of mac aroni, for instance, recently from Den yer to Arizona lost weight while those sent to New Orleans, San Francisco and Seattle gained, owing to moisture in the air.

 YALE MEN, TO

New Haven, Sept 29.-Constructive thinking and service to the world rather than to self was the keynote of the matriculation sermon delivered in woolsey Hall, Yale University, yes terday, by President Hadley.
 -'YaIe men have entered into an in heritance that is better than money and better than comfort Dr. Hadley said. ''It is an inheritance of principles and ideals and sentim ents. It is for you to transmit that inheritance to those who come after, better for the way in which you have used it.
 'sThe public service of Yaie and col -Ieges like. Yale does not stop with the work of preparing men to fill political offices. Not private emolurnent, but achieved for the commonwealth. This was the object in the minds of Yale founders and this has been the pur- pose in the hearts of generations of boys and men.
 ''The graduate who fails to hold to these traditions is a marked man. The world looks on him as one who has had the incentive to do high things and has been satisfied with low ones. Thank God that there are few such men.
 'fwe must learn to govern. and be- gin by governing ourselves. The man who goes bIind1y the crowd goes, who talks boisterous1y to keep up his courage, or who believes that some temporary defeat of a pet purpose means the end of the world, is not going to be fit to govern others even if he knows all the contents of an en- cycIopaedia of political science from one end to the other.''

 REV. C.H. BEARD

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson said "I have nothing to say,'' when asked to- day if he would make any reply to the sermon preached by the Rev. Ger aid H. Beard, pastor of the Park Street Congregational church yester- day.

Beard said if the real mayor of Bridgeport-the one who thinks that Sunday ball games and not higher wages bring working wona- en to the city-had kept his hands off, and if the nominal mayor of Bridge port had put his hands on, the posi- ton of the Pastors association would have been acknowledged to be unas- sailably right Surely you have some thing to say in reply to that"

He also said he wouldn't try to curry favor for Sunday baseball by an appeal to class antagonism. MT. Beard has since said that he has been correctly quoted. Have you anything to say in reply to that part of the sermon, MT. Mayor?"
 ''No," answered the mayor, "I have no reply to make at all. The paving work is going along splendidly," he continued and then he launched into a recital of the progress that is be- ing made on the work being done about the city.

POWERS IN BREAK OVER AGREEMENT
 ON CHINESE LOAN
hired to do.

London, Sept. 29-A practical disso- luton has taken place of the Chinese loan agreement by which the five pow CTS concerned-Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Japan-gave a monopoly to certain banking groups for all. Chinese loans. The British government took the initiative in the dissolution of the agreement.
 The five powers mentioned still act together in making loans, to the Chi nese government for general admin istrative purposes but each of the pow CTS has been left free to support any of it's citizens in floating loans for railroads and other industrial pro jects and for provincial purposes.
 The declared object. of the original agreement, it is pointed out here, was to prevent an international scramble to lend China money but such a scrarn- ble is in progress and the dissatis- faction of British fnanciers that their government is using it's influence to prevent them from bidding has com peIIed the British foreign office to withdraw from the quintup1e monop- o1y. It's support had heretofore been given those banks participating in the Quintuple loan to China.
