SOME APPETITE TEksERs.

AS for the general subject of eating
the reader of Thinking Black' may sud
denly be seized with a gastronomic guam
now and then as he runs across casual
mention of the diet that the author was
forced TO accept from time TO time In heu
of more dainty things. Water OF all
colors-red. brown, black or green
quenched his thirst, while grass SEEDS
boiled to an emerald Cruel form what
ne calls IA famous food Thousands OF
obese white auts, taken with good pinch
of salt and another of hunger, he downs
with gusto, while locusts and beacon
stricto~ steak have tickled his palate.
Rats and snails. dogs and caterpillars are
among the dietetic dainties of the black
man mentioned by the narrator without
specific data as TO his own share In their
consumption.

swels forth i'm p9an TO high heaven.

AS THE BLACK MAN THINKS.

Thinking white? 1t is his own accurate
phrase TO set apart the ways of the white
mans mind. Just so does his opposite
phrase-"thinking black"-gather up and
confine in those two words all the twist

black mans thought. And so, having
written out a clear definition of thinking

FIFTEEN MORE DAYS
 REMAIN FOR SESSION

days of the present legislative session. and the general public is now wondering if there will be another session immediately af- ter the close of this one or not. In spite of the talking and all the sessions, all the investigations and all the reports, there have been very few laws actually passed by both houses and trans mitted to the governor for his approval. Thirteen measures in all have reached the chief exec utive and with but one or two exceptions all have been return ed to the two houses approved.
 Every day, however, there are more bills introduced. the total number of bills introduced in both houses so far is counting memorials and resolutions, over 250. In this the senate. although the smaller body, leads in the number of measures by almost two to one. No less than 150 bills have been put up to the sen- ators for their consideration, and so have found their way on to the journals of the house intro duced either by members of the lower body or by the committees thereof. There are thirty-five representatives and nineteen senators, making a total of A, and giving an average of nearly six bills per member. Yet this sort of average is not the correct one, as there are members of both houses who have not intro duced any measures during this session.
 The last two measures of the session will be taken up in long sessions, probably three per day, in the effort either to dispose of the bills now under considera- tion by the indefinite postpone ment route or by passing them through. Last session there were any number of bills that expired on the calendar. There are bills now on the calendar that were introduced on the second day of the present session that have never been brought back for consideration This is the case all legislatures, to which Arizona's is no exception. The form of legislation by means of committees always results in many bills dying in committee especially if they are unpopular bills.
 Below is given a full list of the bills passed in both houses and now either signed by the govern or or in his hands for signatures:

DAMAGED GOODS" APPROVED,
Congress of Mothers Executive
Board Acts on Presentation Here.

Approval of the project to produce the
play Damaged Goods in Washington
April before an invited audience was
given in a resolution adopted at a special
meeting of the executive board of the
National Congress Of Mothers. held al
it's offices in the Washington Loan and
Trust building this afternoon. A letter
announcing the boards action later was
addressed to Surgeon General Stokes OF
the navy as president of the Society for
Social Hygiene, Under whose auspices
the play is to be reproduced here. The
letter expresses the hope that the play
may be given in the afternoon in order
that the clergy of the city may have an
opportunity to see it.
Copies of the book had been sent to
members of the board, and they were
given the opportunity of studying the
story before this meeting was called
1t was the opinion of the board that the
play given in all the seriousness of its
conception, will do much to wipe out the
double standard of morals, suppress the
social evil and eliminate q great deal of
suffering.
