SAVE THE WASTED MILLIONS

An entire cessation of naVy~building
 for one year would work no change
 in the comparative rating of the pow
 CTS. and would give them time to ap-
 preciate the folly of the present sys-
 tenn of naval upbuilding. The sug-
 cestion of such a naval holiday for
 one year came from Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty,
 in submitting the British naval es- inmates to the house of commons Churchill declared that this was the
 "Only way to terminate one of the
 most stupid and unnatural chapters in the history of European civilization The method of all nations increasing each year their fighting force with out any change in their relative po- sitions is aptly described by the adjectives stupid" and unnatural" The limit of endurance will soon be l reached, for even now the burden has become almost unbearable.
 Untold millions are being wasted every year in ambitious naval pro grammes without in the least alter ing the relative fighting strength of the great powers. A sense of the humor of the proceeding ought of | itself to call a halt to such folly. We address this proposal to all | nations" said Churchill. and to no nation with more profound sincerity | than to our great neighbor over the | North sea" To be most influential ! a movement in this direction must come from one of the great powers of l Europe, where the policy of one na- | tion is so often looked upon with l suspicion by the others. With Grea; | Britain and Germany, the two lead 1 ing powers of the old World, taking the lead, the United states and all
 l the other powers would gladly adopt
 the same course.-Lesles Weekly.

GREAT RUSH
 FOR HOUSES
Greene & Griffin Find It Much in Excess of the De mand a Year Ago-What is Going on in the Way of Building

Both in their rental and home building department, the past week has been an extra busy one. The demand for furnished and unfurnish
 ed houses is greatly in excess of this
 time a year ago and if there are any unoccupied houses Greene &
 Griffin would like to have them. As
 high as fifteen applicants a day is
 not unusual and gives a good idea
 of what the rush will be in Septem-
 ber
 For c. A. Jenner, the home build CTS will construct on lot 2, block g, Wentworth addition, a complete six
 room home The floor plan will be
 different than anything yet built in Phoenix and will contain the latest ideas in hOmcbuilding. The kitchen will be equipped with a wOodStOne sink. There will be two bathrooms and two large screen sleeping rooms in addition to the six rooms in the house proper. The brick work will
 be plastered and the front porch will also extend part way along the east and west side of the house. The
 roof will be of white asbestos. Work
 will begin at once.

 is one of the distinctive homes in the addition The 621a foot lot west of Mr Asbury has been taken by a prominent banker of northern Ari- zona who is reserving it for a win ter home Directly west of this lot the home builders are constructing. the first of it's kind in Phoenix of a series of new style homes. It is of . brick with the black mortar trim mings. The porch posts are massive and built of river boulders. The en- trance is at one end of the porch the steps being rounded to bring out the design in full. A unique bay win dow shingled with built-in seats add both to the exterior and interior ap- pearance The built in features are the best in design and finish that the home builders have constructed. The house has many features worth special mention, perhaps the best being the guest room in the front of the house. The entire room can
 be made the equal of any screen porch by taking advantage of the
 numerous windows neatly arranged
 There is also a private front en-
 trance for this room. Large closet
 space is another good feature and
 the room is furnished with q sani- l tary Iavatory. The entire house is l constructed from the latest models l and when finished will be a pleasing contrast with the meany beautiful ] homes already there.

thLARGING PLANT ID
 ACCOMMODATE ORDERS

The Phoenix Roof Tile company has been compelled to order an ad- ditional tile making machine on ac- count of the unexpected rush of business. But a short time ago, the school trustees of the Casa Grande school district in Pinal county de- cided to have a tile roof to their building, and after an investigation specified Phoenix tile. This job will necessitate seventy squares of tile. and in order to get the goods delivered in time for use, the new machine was necessary. The ma chine will reach Phoenix in a week or ten days, and when assembled and doing business will enable the company to handle a much larger business than now
 F. F. Pascoe decided this week to use the Spanish Mission tile made by the company and contracted for the requirements for his new apart ment house on First avenue near Van Buren street
