  nouncement It was learned yester- gerald of the Phoenix Y. M c. A. that he had started negotiations with the schools associated in the Valley Interscholastic league for water sports meeting about May 2 There ought to be water sports as well as field or track events. says Fitz. The teams of the various schools in the league have ball grounds, fields. running tracks and things. but have no swimming pool. The Phoenix Young Mems Christian association has the only pool in the valley. Ergo. It is up to that institution to supply their pool for the competition. The association will retain the right to charge small admission, will supply the officials and will donate part of the prizes. The whole matter is tentative, having been preached to the athletic authorities of the schools only today The method of scoring will be that used in the other Y. NJ. C. A. events, and in addition to the regular prizes there will be one for the best school team. Teams of five from each school will enter. A cup will be given to the best team to be defended successfully twice after the first victory before it becomes the property of any school. Other prizes will consist Of medals and trophies. Speaking of swimming as a useful sport to be acquainted with. FitZ- gerald said, You remember Harvey Kitredge, who was reported in The Arizona Republican to have sWum with a rope across an ice cold stream in the Dayton streets to rescue some marooned people?

WATER SPORTS
 THURSDAY EVE
First Program of Y. M. C. A. Swimming Tourney
 Will be Held a Day Ahead of Time; Valley Schools Water Tourney Suggested

The first program of the Y. M. c. A swimming pool competition has been anteponed one day. If ante poned" is not in the dictionery. it ought to be.
 At any rate there is conflict in dates and the water sports will be held Thursday night, April 3. instead of Friday. The reason is the High School Athletic Benefit which doubles the date.
 Entries have come in rather slowly for the water sports competition. However. after the first nights stunts are pulled off successfully, there will be a crowd up to register, for it is easier than it lookS-this swimming business. Visitors will be allowed to view the competition from the gallery and from the banks of the pool. Splash curtains will be pro- vided to keep the water from oOzing into the audience when some en- thusiastic diver takes the plunge.
 Lawrence King. Harry L. Duty, Kenneth Comstock. Holmes Mann. Tucker Pinney. Albert Pinney and Lester DeMund. That is the entry list to date.
 Thursday night at 7:30 the fun begins A mob of young men and boys. arrayed in white uniform. swim ming suits will enter the pool to compete in the following events for prizes of medals-gold. silver and

which has theme out of the con-
vcntional type, and this may be
truthfully said OF "Kindling." In
which Miss Margaret Ellington will
appear here at the Grand next Thurs
day matinee and night. "Kindllng,'
Is a rattllng good drama. powerful in
treatment, and contains one scene
which for vital force quite surpasseA
the big situation in THE Thief" Miss
Illington's previous starring venture.
Miss Ellington makes bold move
when she appears in "Kindling." In
dropping her pretty gowns and good
looks. to appear in the shabby dress
of the woman Of the tenements. In
doing this she has again shown her
self assessed Of versatility together
with great depths of emotional abil-
ity. The woman Of an upper straits
society Is not even suggested in her
maggie schultz" She is the woman
Of the tenements, slovenly in manner
and speech and her characterization
never faltcrs throughout the play
Much Of the success of the play is due
to the splendid work OF Miss Hing
ton and her associates.

W0NAN'S STORY

Mrs. NIOnCrlef Didn't Consider II
Secret. Thought Friends
Should Know. Read
Her Statement.

Bolton, Tex.-Mrs. Ethel Moncrief,
Of this place, says: II suffered with
complaint peculiar to women, and,
although / called In the doctors, they
failed to do me any good.
Then, began to take Cardui, the
woman's tonic.
From the first dose, I could feel
results, and. in q short time, I was
relieved Of all my dreadful suffering.
My friends We're surprised 70 see
the results l obtained from the use
OF Cardui. I Just couldn't help tell
ing them. 1t built up my system
wonderfully.
I do not want to be without Cardui
in my house, as long as / can obtain
it. 1t is a true relief for womaniy
troubles. 1 can't praise 1t too highly"
In the past half century, thousands
of ladies have written like Mrs. Mon
Grief, to tell Of the benefit received
from the use Of Cardul.
Such testimony, from earnest wom-
On, surely indicates the merit of this
woman's remedy.
Cardui contains pure, harmless,
vegetable ingredients, which act In a
gentle way on all the weakened wom-
anly organs.
It cannot do you harm, and is al
most sure to be the very medicine you
need It's good for young or old.
Please give Cardui trial.

YOUR MIND ON YOUR WORK
Man Who Makes Good Is One Who

One Thing.

The man who makes good Ia the
man who can shut out OF his mind all

cipal OF a school once said that every
teacher ought to be able to do three
things at once. OF course. he was
wrong. The teacher who does one
thing at a time and does 1t well Is
giving the pupil the best possible OBJ
Zee. lesson in concentration. We
have to learn to think clearly amid
distracting noises, to go forward on n
strait and narrow way without diver
sions and excursions that waste our
time and our substance. and to keep
at work regardless OF the tired feel
ing. the spring feeling. and whether
the fishing Is good or not. When the
