STREET ILLUMINATION
 WAS IDEA OF DODGE
City Electrical Inspector Springs New Feature Pleasing to Far
 Visitors.

Fair visitors, especially those who have been coming to Phoenix annual ly upon the occasion of Arizona's greatest exposition. commented ire quently upon upon the gala appear ance of the down town streets at night Those who knew of the mod ern system of ornamental street light ing standards, felt that the last word had been said in this respect
 What surprised these visitors was the varied color effects of these stand ards and the usual opinion WAS that one possessed of more than ordinary ingenuity had devised one of the hits of the street decorations. It is time ly to state that it was due to the forethought of City Electrical Inspec- tor Dodge that this pleasing touch was given the already gaily attired down town streets
 The expense involved was not ma terial. Instead of installing a series of colored globes, it was simply neces- sary to secure 150-Watt tungsten lamp of the colored bulb variety, which was placed inside the big white globes. The light from the lamp gave the outer globe the appearance ef having been colored for the occasion.
 Every top light of the entire system was either of blue, orange or red. The The appearance from one end or the other of street so illuminated was that of a holiday period At Central avenue and Washington street all five lamps of each Of the four standards were of the different colors, giving that intersection an exceptionally pleasing appearance Inspector Dodge has been receiving congratulations all this week over his success in adding pretty touch to the street decorations.
 These lamps will be removed this week and will be preserved for other gala occasions, notably during the ses- sions of the mining congress and tine Aztec Sun fete.

A feature of the Sharples Mechan- ical Miiker demonstrations at the fair grounds was the milking for the first time of a number of herds of pvre bred cows yesterday afternoon. The demonstration was in charge of T. D. Plamondcn, field manager for the Sharples company for Arizona and Southern California. assisted by Martin Mpnson, of Los Angeles.

Bradshaw followed with his prize winners whose demeanor throughout showed that they thor oughly enjoyed the new sensation
 In the morning the machines were rut to a particularly interesting test when the pure bred Ayrshires owned by McMinn and Bingham, of Tucson, had the nilller applied to their short and delicate teats, and gave out a flow of milk that filled the shining 3 buckets to the entire satisfaction of the owners J. F. Applebys thor oughbreds were also mixed at this time. Both demonstrations were wit messed by large crowds.
 Proof that the modern mechanical milker gives consistent satisfactory results was furnished during Gle course of the demonstrations wher number of cows that had been milked twice. a day for the last fif- teen months were brought to the sharples tent and examined. Their bags and teats were found to be in the very best condition. These cows were the property of G. L. Harri. of Phoenix.

Where Shall We Send
 Our Christmas Gifts?

Many of us give presents to our friends each Christmas season because we think that it is expected of us. And sometimes we give with the thought of receiving something in return. But whatever has been our custom in the past, let it's change our method in this respect during the present year when there is so much want and suffering in EGIope We deserve no credit for making gifts to those who are not in need. Our Lord says: And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same"
 As a result of the great European war and also of the after effects of the Balkan war, thousands of persons are homeless and millions are without food or are on the verge of starvation. This year let us send to the destitute across the ocean the money that We are now planning to spend for our friends at Christmastide. Our gifts at home should be only to children, and older persons can be remembered with simple post card.
 l nta suttts III I1uEOpS IS greater tIHtlI many persons imagine. The situa ton is really appalling. H. c. Hoo yer, chairman of the American Relief Commission in London, says:
 There are still 100000 people in Belgium. In many centers the peo- ple are receiving an allowance of d little more than three ounces of flour per capita daily. Our experts calculate that in order to avoid actual starvation Belgium must nave every month a minimum of 60,000 tons of wheat, 15,00O tons of corn, 5000 tons of peas or beans and a limited amount of bacon or lard"
 This will cost from four to five million dollars monthly, says MT. Hoover, and Belgium is without mon ey The rest of Europe can do little CT nothing for these people, each ration being strained to the utmost in caring for it's own.
 Few persons in this country may know of the fearful suffering now felt in Albania This little country was formerly a part of Turkey and is bounded on the north by Montene- gro, on the east by Servia and on tie south by Greece.

TEXAS FAIR SECRETARY
 SEES HOW ITS DONE HERE
Texan from Beaumont Looks Over Phoenix and Makes Copious
 Notes

T. w. Larkin, secretary of the Beaumont, Texas, chamber of com merce secretary of the South Texas Fair, the second largest in the state, and president of the Texas Associa- ton of Fair Secretaries, who is at present engaged in investigations of the government of municipalities in the United States, spent yesterday in Phoenix looking over the city and in quiring into the application of the "city manager" plan of city govern ment as used in this city.
 Mir. Larllin will probably come back to Phoenix in the near future to make further investigations of the city government here. The immediate object of his visit at this time was to take one good look at the Ari- zona State Fair of which he has heard so much. While here he call ed on Secretary Shaughnessey and President Keegan and discussed with them the systems in use here. He also talked over matters of admin istration with Assistant Secretary Grant.
 Mir. Larkin has for years been a member of the great fourth estate and as such has had unusual oppor- tunities for observation. In the course of this experience and obser- vation he had become profound student of municipal economics and now is engaged in investigations leading to the publication of a book upon the subject embodying the re- suits of his work.
 He will leave tomorrow by way of the Roosevelt dam for Fl Paso where he is temporarily residing.

through the devastated regions of

through the devastated regions of Albania.
 More than 125,oO0 men. women and children" he writes, are home less and in need of food, clothing and shelter. These furnishing crea- lures did not have part in the Bal kan war. They held aloef from strife, titled their land and watched their flocls."
 What was the cause of all this misery? It was Servian and Monte negrin troops who, ten months after the close of the Balkan war, burned and dynamited 12,00O houses in Al bania, slaughtered 5000 men, women and children. made 125.000 persons homeless, drove off their horses, sheep and cattle, carried away the grain from their harvest, leaving havoc in their trail.
 The Christian Herald is authority for saying that there are 300.000 AL banians suffering from cold and huh ger, and will freeze or starve before the next harvest unless they have speedy relief. This fearful condition of things is one of the after results of the war spirit that is bred in semi civilized people during regu
 lar campaign. Let us pray that it may soon cease.
 Money spent for the food and clothing to aid the destitute people in Europe will be the best Christ was presents we can make this year. We need not wait until the holiday season comes, but we can send our gifts now, before the rush begins. Not only individuals should do this, { but Sunday schools and churches can also aid in fulfilling the Sa- viour's command. Some of our church boards are in sore need of funds to carry on their work. A Christmas gift for this cause would be manifesting the spirit of Christ. It is not necessary to inquire the reason for this awful war now rag ing in Europe, or who caused it. Our duty is to aid those who are the victims of it's terrible effects. Many years before Europe was known to the civilized world. the psalmist said: Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy

ARIZONA FILES ON BIG
 TRACT UNDER CAREY ACT

Arizona, through the state land commission, filed on twenty thous- and acres of Carey land near Palo mas. yesterday, and started what will probably be one of the greatest de- velopment projects ever undertaken by a western commonwealth
 Under the Carey irrigation act, a state can file on public land and get it without fees, to turn over to bona fide settlers who will cooperate in reclaiming it. This land is patented under q much different system from that used in desert entries.
 The tract lies near the village of Palomas on the main line of the Southern Pacific in Yuma county.

A DOLLS PALACE.
Most Famous Dolls House in the
World Burgled in 1881.

From the Strand.
OF all the treasures Utrecht possesses,
first and foremost is its world-famous
dolls house. 1t is the purest Queen
Anne abode complete down to the tiniest
detail. Ordinary houses can never give
the entire idea of her period as this little
one can, for. naturally. in the process
of time the arrangement of everything
alters; the structure is rebuilt. furniture
and hangings wear out and are discarded
and later styles are introduced. whereas
our dolls house, made not later than the
end of the seventeenth century. has re-
manned behind closed glass doors, low
insIy cherished by Dutch housewives, the
most careful and conservative of their
kind, and it shows us Just how the
Dutchman of those days lived. and Very
much how the Englishman of rather
later date arranged his home.
And now to come to the dolls house
and its history.
1t has evidently always been considered
a masterpiece, for so long ago as 1873 We
find literature on the subject. The chroni-
cier says that it owes its existence TO a
noble lady of Amsterdam, but does not
give her name. Not only did she lavish
years and the utmost loving care upon
her hobby, but it cost her small fortune
besides-certainly over 5000. 1t was proc
ably begun toward 1919. when King
Charles III was reigninS, and finished
about 1880.

eighteenth century it belonged to a rich

Another Warning to Parents.
From the New York World


A Boston school expert who has been
investigating conditions of study and
department among public school chill
dren finds that the mental life pre-
dominates in January and February
while boys and girls are lowest from
the viewpoint of good citizenship dur
ing March. part of April and in Oc-
tober." Good boys are at their best
at 10 o'clock in the morning and bad
boys at their worst at and in the
afternoon, and parents should make
their appeals accordingly.
What lot of things we should never
have known but for sociology, Is it
possible that the predominance of ju-
venile mental life in midwinter is due
to the absence of outdoor attractions
like base ball and bird nesting? But
parents cannot be too careful in the
treatment of their children under the
new dispensation, and in the light of
this discovery it will be their fault if
they spoil the child through neglect
of choosing the psychological moment
for persuasion or reproof. No doubt
the sociological family almanac of the
future will contain the injunctions:
reason: delay spanking till after A.
and In March and October avoid tax
ing Johnnie's mind with too much
schooling etc. The modern school
boy is a sensitive plant and his moods
and lenses should receive due consid-
Grafton. With sociology pointing the
way, it will be the duty of all parents
to safeguard him from the blighting
effects of hard study.
