The Pioneer Women
 Also To Have Home

Work will go ahead at once or the women's annex to the Pic. neer home at Prescott, says the Phoenix Gazette.
 Final action has been taken by the State Board of Control, and the annex IS to become a reality at last. In. other words. the recommendation made several months ago by Wynn Meredith that the Parsons bequest of $40, GOO to the Pioneers home to be applied to this specific pur- pose, has been approved.
 MT. Meredith is the adminis- trator of the estate of w. C.. Parsons, deceased, and it was his idea that the handsome do- nation be allotted to the deserv- ing pioneer women of the State, in view of the fact that the male pioneers had been cared for. and the statute made no provision whatever for women pioneers.
 Meredith has appointed Major A. J. Doran, Judge E. w. Wells and Dr. R. N. Looney. of Pres colt, as commissioners to super wise the work on this adjunct to the home, although the state will have the disposition of the above sum.
 w. s. Elliott, the architect. has drawn plans and specified tions of the new building, and with the exception of slight notifications in interior accom- modations. they have been ap- proved by the Board of Control. Bids for construction will soon be announced, and it is believed the contract will be awarded within the next sixty days.
 The new home will not only be- imposing, but it will have al strikingly beautiful effect. Fac ing near the center on the divid- ing line will be a large tower. which, with the general outlines of the structure, will carry the Colonial feature of design.
 To the south of the present building will be added a wing, but otherwise the original habit ation will remain as at present. The annex will join on the north | and it's subdivisions of quarters will have about sixteen sleeping rooms. a library, parlor. d1n- ing room, observatory, bath rooms, informatory and other accommodations.
 The combined homes will have a frontage of over 100 feet, and | will be nearly sixty feet in depth. | The approximate cost is about $25,0O0. Married pioneers will be eligible for admission.

The members of the school faculty will consider it a favor if parents and others wishing to speak to pupils over the school phone will kindly do their coll ing at recess time. We have no regular office in our school building and the use of the phone in session time causes con- siderable confusion and annoy ance to both teachers and pupils.

The first locomotive was completed
and put into operation in 1914 by
George Stephenson, who was born in
Wylam, England, June o, 1881. He
was engineer at a colliery when he
invented a travelling engine to draw
wagons along a tramway. Stephen
sons first locomotive attained a speed
OF six miles an hour. improvement
after improvement was made. not only
in the locomotive. but in the rails, and
In 1922 Stephenson opened the first
railway, which was eight miles in
length. In 1920 his locomotive, the
Rocket, reached a speed OF thirty-five
miles an hour, winning the prize OF
$500 offered by the Liverpool and
Manchester railway company. The
entire system Of railway locomotion,
with stations, signals, tenders and
carriages, was completed with the in
auguration Of the Liverpool and Man
chester line In 1890 Stephenson was
largely instrumental in establishing
all the English and foreign lines dur
ing the first period Of railroading He
died In 1913.

Moods of Musicians.

Before the moods of genius the
world must ever bow In awe. for is IL
not to the hayward wanderings from
the normal that inspiration itself Is
due? says II writer In the London Lady.
The gloomy moods Of Beethoven are
traditional. but every time they en-
wrapped his spirit there flowed from
his pen the most noble Of scores.
Turning to Schubert, we find that 1t
was in the gay moods OF the German
inn that his genius worked. Under
their sway the "Serenade" and many
other immortal themes were penned
on a tavern table, tiny scraps of paper
being used that came to hand. Pa
ganini was so wholly the victim Of
moods that It was no unusual thing
for an audience to wait in vain for his
contribution to concert program.

the moment would impel him to re-
main In his poverty stricken room.

When the distant horizon is brilliant
ly Illuminated with flashes Of light on
warm summer evenings old residents
will explain that 1t Is caused by heat
lightning"
Heat lightning is really the refiec-
ton Of ordinary lightning. Affair Off
there is thunderstorm. Light travels
at something more than 10000 miles
a second, while thunder travels slowly
through the air and soon becomes in
audible to our ears. 1t Is this light re-
fiected upon the clouds or mist near
the horizon which we see and call
heat lightning. Sometimes vivid dis
plays Of northern lights, or the aurora
borealis, are enormously called heat
lightning.
There is, therefore, no such thing as
heat lightning, and this should proper
ly be called distant" lightning. New

Cincinnati letter. just issued, says in
part
There are not lacking signs of an i'm
provenent. A buying movement Is now Il:
progress, and it promises tic increase in
volume. AS a matter of fact, pig iron
is now at such price that it seems i'm
possible for buyers to make mistake in
placing orders. Iron can't so lower with
out forcing bankruptcy on ,line-tenths of
the merchant furnaces of the country.
Today's prices are below the cost of pro-
duction. This present. buying movement
Should it extend. will put some backbone
into the furnaces and prices with decent
and active demand should advance. This
week the south has sold heavily and large
deals are being negotiated. The north
has had a fair share. But only an in
considerable part of the iron that will be
actually needed has bean bought; so there
is hope in this direction"

HOLDS THE EGGNOG RECORD

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Oakland. cities may demand the
recognition of pomp, place and power.
but Oakland claims the unique distinc-
ton of having made record for egGnog
consumption for Christmas Day. Three
thousand gallons, or 100 900 drnks-enough
for one drink to every man, woman and
child of the city's population--is the es-
timated quantity of the national Yuletide
beverage disposed of in II hours.
With eggs at so cents dozen, more
than $1,000 were used 10 make this pop
ular beverage of Christmas cheer, to-
gether with hundreds Of quarts of milk,
of which no record is obtainable. More
than 5000 worth of brandy and $1,000 worth
of rum was used in the various recipes,
the total expenditure for eggnog material
for the day reaching the stupendous sum
of approximately s12,5O0.
OF this amount, only $4,000 came back
again to the saloons at 10 cents drink,
so that far from being a day of profit,
the saloon men estimate that 400 saloons
will lose 81 each as the net result of the
eganog epidemic. Notwithstanding which
Oakland claims recognition as the cham
pion heavy weight eggnog drinking city
