field describes Il as "epochal,' and il
is epochal. but as an experiment only.
The country viii watch to see how
liz works.
The concern viii increase the oper-
ating hours of its factory and the
number of its employees nearly one
third. 1t is fair to assume that its
output will be increased in something
like the same ratio. The minimum
wage is to be IS per day, even for
workers in the humbiest position. In
addition the employees, are to receive
100000 of the company's profits in
1914
1t is situation which offers an end
less field for speculation. To what ex-
tent will the company's profits be de-
creased, taking into consideration the
increased production and its increased
cost? Will the company's competitors
attempt to meet the advanced wage
scale, in order to retain the services
of their most efficient employees, or will
they continue to operate with less cost
ly labor and attempt to undersell the
concern which is so generous in its
distribution of profits?
If it should be found possible to
force wages in the Detroit automobile
industry up to the new standard, to
maintain them in the face of compe-
tition elsewhere and TO continue to sell
automobiles at a price satisfactory to
the purchasers, then, indeed, it may
be said the experiment is epochaL 1t
will be long step toward solving the
problems of capital and labor, which
has puzzled economists of ages. We
may easily pardon the skeptics. Few
will be surprised if the Detroit COM
pany should find itself compelled to
abandon its program or continue it as
an isolated benevolence.

 That the public may see just what this state is doing in the Toad busi- ness, and just how good are the numerous scenic routes now in the state, Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix and Maricopa Board of Trade, has written an article cover ing the roads of the state, telling where they lead, and what may be seen along their lengths. It follows:

 Arizona will, within the next two or three years. make strenuous eff forts to put into effect a bond issue for road building. The amount that has been suggested for the state is sue is $5,000,000 and in addition to this amount there will be road bonds issued by individual counties.

 The road to the Grand Canyon is enc of delight It is through fine timber, and the scenery, with glimpses from time to time of the Grand Canyon, is of great beauty. From Flagstaff, Winslow and Will I Hams are roads running north across he Painted Desert. and reaching the famous Indian villages of Salpi and Orabi, the places where each year. alternately, the famous snake dances Df the Hopi Indians are held.

 Within certain parts of this north ern region abound streams alive with mountain trout, and not far distant are the homes of deer and bear.

Network of Roads Through Pine-covered Hills, Snow capped Mountains and Cacti-growing Deserts, from Cline to Cline

Interest in the state roads of Ari- Zona, as well as in the county roads, is at the present time as great as or greater than it has been at any time in the past. With the improve ments the state has had in progress, with that work done and now going on, with the bond issue of Yuma county passed. and the proposed bond issue of this county still in the plans of the citizens, with the federal law at the present time before con- sress which will provide other and ample funds for more roads and better roads have taken on an as- pect dOubly interesting.
 Beside these, there are the route books which are being gotten out to cover this state. The roads are be-

the most expert engineers to de- branches of road constructino. The result is today the marked improve ment of road conditions throughout the state.
 The amount annually expended bv Arizona in the maintaining of roads is insufficient to properly do the work. The sum-$300, ,000-will go a very little way, indeed, and it is only by the provisions of a bond issue that proper work, both for construction and repair, can be car ried on. But the amount will be applied to keeping in repair a sys- tenn of roads that have been wei and Hberally constructed under the provisions of a big bond issue.
 A system of trunk line highways radiating from Phoenix, the capital city, to the different centers of pop ulation in the state has been laid out by the state engineer. Some very important links in this system have already been constructed, and notably must be included some very important bridge structures. At Tempe near Phoenix, and crossing the Salt river, is one of the finest concrete arch bridges in the country. This splendid structure was erected by convict labor and is a monument to the designer and the workmen.
 The trunk lines are as follows: From Phoenix, there is the northern line, which goes through Prescott the Mile High City," splendid city beautifully situated in the hills, sur rounded by pine forests, and the

EVOLUTION OF HAIR CLIPPER
Only Resemblance Between Old and
New Is That Both Cut.

AS one sits in a barber chair these
days, feels thee clipper rapidly run
over his head and sees the hair drop
on his sleeve he wonders if it has al
ways been that way.
In twenty-five years the time it
takes to cut hair, assuming that one
has a fair growth, has been lessened
from thirty to ten minutes. This saw
ing in time is due to the evolution of
the hair clipper.
In 1875, George NJ. Baumgartner
bought the first hair cutter in Colum-
bia. The handles were of wood, and
about ten inches long. They extended
away from the clipping device IN a
v shape. A large spring between the
handles gave the desired elasticity.
The clipper was unsatisfactory, es-
pecially to the customer, for it occas-
ionally pulled out a bunch of hair or
caught it in the chude guards that
supported the cycle.

NOT CONSISTENT.

A few days ago all England was
astonished at this country's sugges-
tions that fighting cease and peace be
made between the warning factions
of Europe. 1t doesn't sound exactly
consistent to England for the United
States to plead for peace, and with
the next breath to hear that at the fol-
lowing regular session of Congress
the Nation considers enlarging its
own navy.
This suggestion came to England
just when she was beginning to get
an edge on her enemy. With advo-
Gates in the United States planning
to demand and get twelve new dread
noughts for the United States, Eng
land may well be astonished when
we suggest peace. Talking peace and
preparing for war at the same time
has been proved farce.
