STATE TO PUBLISH TEXT BOOKS.

Governor George H. Hodges yester
day signed senate bill No. 81, by Da-
Wis of Bourbon, which is the bill for
the. state publication of school text
books. The bill carries with it an
appropriation of 1925, 900 for the pur-
pose of enlarging the state printing
plant and purchasing the rights to
books desired for text books in the
common and high schools of Kansas.
Practically all of the school books
now in use in Kansas have been
adopted and contracted for up to
1917, with the result that the state
will not commence the publication of
school books, except perhaps two or
thfee texts, much before that year.
The bill establishes a state text
book commission for the purpose of
choosing text books to be used in
the common and high schools Of the
state. This commission is empower
ed to write these books itself, to hire
persons to write books for it, to have
text books compiled, or to purchase
the state rights to satisfactory text
books, or to condemn and purchase
the state rights to such books as can
not be purchased otherwise, if desir-
Cd.
This commission is composed of
the chancellor of the State University,
tie president of the State Agricul-
tural college, the president of the En-
poria State Normal school, the gov
ernOrf the state printer, the state su-
perintendent of public instruction,
the secretary of the state board of
agriculture and two others to be ap-
pointed by the governor, one of whor
shall be county superintendent
and one city superintendent. The
members draw no salary, except that
the two appointiye members draw s.
per diem for the time actually spent
In meeting with the commission. The
commission shall elect a secretary,
who shall maintain his office in the
State House and who shall keep the
accounts and proceedings Of the COM
mission. The secretary is required
to inform himself of text books pro
posed to the commission for adoption
and shall be prepared to give his
opinion of such books to the commits
sion.

 GLOBE, Nov. With the breaking of ground here a day or two ago fer the new International Smelling and Refining company smeIter, in the Globe district about five miles from the heart of this city, one of the most important steps in the recent industrial development of this dis trict was taken. It means that in the near future there will be com Ileted and in operation here a smel- ter quite on a par with that which has made Hayden the great smelling center it is.
 In the general plan provision is made for three reverberatory furn aces, six or seven converters, one big blast furnace, all with a daily capacity of more than 75O tons of concentrates. While this plant will be located some little distance out side the city of Globe proper it still will be a strictly Globe industry and will mean more to this town than anything yet attempted here.
 It is proposed to handle the con centrates from the Inspiration and Miami copper companies and will also be open for the handling of GUS tom ores. In addition one of the

FRANKLIN SIX=THIRTY
 IS HAGEMAN'S LATEST
Greatest Air Cooled Auto on Display
 in His Sales Room

The fall display in all lines can be seen in the shop windows and has even extended to automobile row. Particularly noticeable among the new automobiles on display is the ex- hibit in the window of George Hage- man, 234 East Adams street, where the first New Series Six-Thirty Franklin to arrive in Phoenix IS be ing displayed.
 While all previous Franklin models have been distinctive in design this new car represents a still greater Franklin individuality. The car is rather low with a clean running boards and the slightly domed panels of the sloping hood have added still riched effect. The neatness and beauty is carried above out even to the smallest detail and the engine is finished up with all parts above the engine deck nickel plated while the parts below, except those aluminium, are black enameled.
 Particular interest points to the Franklin because it is the only car of it's kind in this country, having a direct air cooled motor. The public is interested in this principle of mo- tor cooling as it applies a method well known to all.
 The Franklin direct cooled motor uses a Sirocco fan fIywheeI. This Sirocco fan flyWheel draws out the warm air-in fact draws in cool fresh air over and around the radiat- ing surfaces of the Franklin motor and the heat is literally wiped away The Sirocco fan method is recogniz ed by it's use in factories, etc. for drawing out the warm air.
 The fan has gained the name Sir acco from the Sirocco winds which blow off the African deserts and are very warm stifling winds-a very appropriate name for the greates air moving invention of modern times. The use of the direct cooled motor, thus eliminating water, a radiator and a water circulating system, has given the Franklin body designers full sway and the distinctive sloping ] hood is the result. There is no in- l trusive break in the body lines any | where in the car.
 l This new Franklin typifies the pre- sent age of specialization. This mo- del is the only one the company now manufactures, having concen- | trated all effort on this one car This l comes after thirteen years of building ! several different models each year 1 although the concentration on the 1 SiX-Thirty has come gradually. Three
 years ago the company discontinued 1 building trucks. A year ago taxi | cabs were discontinued and six
 months agothe four cylinder runa-
 bout was dropped. Then this fall the four cylinder touring car and the six cylinder thirty eight horse power model was discontinued and a new SiX-Thirty brought out.
 This new touring car is a refine ment of the Franklin Little Six
 which in the past two years has proven to be the most popular model ever made by the Franklin company | The SixThirty is built in six differ
 ent body types, a touring, roadster coupe, sedan, limousine and Berlin All bodies are interchangeable on the
 one chassis which constitutes the en-
 tire Franklin line.

HAML|N MAKES
 RECORD CLIMB
Racer That Won 1912 Los Angeles-tO-PhoeniX Race is Pushed into Highest Valleys of the Sierra Mountains

Higher into the altitude of the Sierra Nevada mountains than an automobile has ever gone before, Ralph Hamlin of Los Angeles re- gently pushed the nose of his fam ous Franklin racing car 1O,60O feet up into the air.
 MT. Hamlin with a party of friends, went up in the Sierras on camping trip. While there he inquired from the natives what was the highest point in the mountains a motor car had ever gone and learned that one ma achine had got as far as certain mine This point had marked the extreme limit. MT. Hamlin' car that had scorched across the burning sands of the Imperial valley, 147 feet below the oceans surface, was sent to beat this aIti- tude record. He reached the mine without having encountered any diff faculties and determined to go on further.
 But thele appeared no way to go. The thick underbrush and immense way and d rough trail cut along which the car went When the jagged boulders blocked ms way. Obtaining the services of a guide the
  and a rough trail cut along which the car went. When the Franklin had reached 10600 feet above sea level MT Hamlin was satisfied.
 This altitude stunt of MT HamIfn is laimed to e the highest point motor car ever reached in California. Engineer Mcclure of the California State Highway staff, says that the road Hamlin took is the highest in the state but Hamlin went further than the road and drove his ear over loose rocks and snow to d point 100 feet higher than the end of the road where no vehicle had ever been before.
 Mir. Hamlin reported that the view alone at the high point he reached was worth the work of chopping out the trail He looked down into the head waters of the Kings river, owens river and the streams that feed the Yosemite and could see the Iron mountain and the sharp peaks of the Ninarets.
 The Franklin is especially adapted to such climbs as it's direct cooled motor is unaffected by altitude Wa ter boiIs at 192 degrees in the a1ti- tude of 1O,60O feet. This 20 degrees l lowering of the boiling temperature of the water coupled with the rough l trail and hard climb through the un- derbrush makes the trip practically | impossibIefor a water cooled car.

AT Whakarewarewa, near Rot0ria in the North

plete in every detail, a native pah'}or fortified
village on hilltop. Here, amid a. setting of
magnificent natural scenery mountains, lake,
river and steaming geysers with all around
us the matched 'whares or dwelling huts, elab-
orately carved meeting houses, food stores on
raised platforms, watch towers and palisades,
we had ready to our hand all the essential mate
rails for realistic reproduction of the beautiful
Maori legends and the Homeric tales of their
wars in historic times. r. - f.
"0ur Maori friends entered into the task with
wholehearted enthusiasm. Each day meat and
potatoes we're baked in earth ovens in the old.
fashioned style, and with feasts and dances,
sports and mimic fights, the memories of ancient
native life were brought back again. For the
old people it was simply return to the days of
young manhood or womanhood; for the middle
aged the vivid recollections of childhood were
being once more yisualized for the youthful Ma
