GOOD HAUL MADE BY LOWELL
 OFFICERS
Jack Gatlin, a "Galvanized" American Arrested and Charged With Having Killed Beef Near Town of Don Luis

Forty-eight hours after a COW was killed and butchered near Don Luis contrary to the laws and statutes of the state of Arizona, Deputy Sheriff William Brakefield and Constable Joe Hodges took Jack Gatlin into custody Yesterday afternoon formal com. plaint was entered against Gatlm for killing a beef
 Gatlin is a galvanized" Texan. He owned to having lived in Mexico for the past sixteen or eighteen years. He says he follows the cattle busi- ness.
 The arrest was made in the home of a Mexican in Don Luis Gatlin was found there late Tuesday after noon. He was closely questioned about the killing of the beef but de- nied all knowledge of it. So also did the people with whom he was stay ing.
 The beef was killed Sunday after noon near Don Luis. The officers went to work on the case the follow ing day. The owner of the slain COW did not see anyone in the act of kill ing his beef but did see two horses. one with a saddle on it. near the scene of the butchering. With this flimsy clue the officers went to work Tuesday two horses were seen graz ing near Don Luis Brakeneld and Hodges immediately took them into custody.
 Later that afternoon they again re- turned to Don Luis in search of the owner of the horses. He was found at last but no meat could be located. A lean-to, adjacent to the house in which Gatlin was staying, could not be opened. The resident of the lat ter house said it was owned by Mex ican who had been in the county jail at Tombstone for several months.
 After the failure to find the beef in the first house, the officers decided it was best to investigate the adjoin. ing place. A pick was secured and the lock pried on Inside a fine quar- ter Of freshly killed beef was found. lt could hardly have been in the house for anything like the time the houses owner has been incarcerated in the county jail
 A Mexican youth who lives i'm the house and who apparently tried to aid in the concealment of the meat was also taken into custody.
 Gatlin claimed to have been in the district since the first of the month. coming from Mexico by the way of San Pedro. He said he made his home when in the district with the family in whose house he was arrest. ed and at other times with another family that lived in Johnson Addition
 The officers investigated the last family and there was a series of af- firmations and denials. Gatlin was placed in the branch county jail in Bisbee and the Mexican was placed in the jail at Lowell It developed yesterday that Gatlin just completed | serving a years sentence in the fed eral penitentiary at Atlanta for snug. gling. No date has been set for the ! preliminary hearing as yet.

SUFFRAGISTS WOULD FIGHT

But They Are Opposed to War and
Too Much Preparedness.

WASHINGTON, July Give suf-

her organization could not ask that a
place be given Miss Mabel Boardman on
Secretary Daniels Naval Board of Inven-
tion and Development.
When we consider that there would
be no world war now IL Germany had

understand why President Shaw replied
unfavorably to the suggestion that we

Doctor Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman

CROWN TRADING STAMP
COMPANY'S LAST WEEK
Concern Closes Doors Here Sat
urday - Holders of Books
Complain Of Premiums.

The Grown Trading Stamp Company will
close its doors Saturday and cease to
operate as a Philadelphia concern. OIL
cials Of the company declare that no books
will be redeemed after that date. In spite
of the brief period left for book redemp-
tion numerous book brokers loiter about
the doors Of the concern at 10th and Arch
street, offering to purchase books from
any holders who have found that the re-
naming objects offered for their stamps
are not desired
Although the stamps were sold and
given to patrons as an inducement for
their patronage and although the books
contain a list of articles redeemable for
books, there are very few objects that
can be obtained by the housewife who has
treasured her stamps In the hope of OBJ
tanning definite household ornament.
with the exception of some brooches, bed
linen. umbrellas, suitcases and travelling
bags there is nothing to be had for stamps
today.
Hundreds of patrons of the concern who
visited the depleted showrooms expressed
disappointment at the meagre array of
goods to be obtained for stamps. Some of
the male visitors who came in quest of
definite articles for which their wives had
gathered the stamps were indignant when
they learned that ,they were forced to
select either an umbrella, suitcase or
bed linen

MAYNARD GIRLS FIND REDEMPTION
AND NEW LIFE ON SLEIGHTON FARM
Work of Mrs. Martha p FGlconer Leads Inmates of Model VILLAGE
To,Oard the Light and Helps Them to Become Good and
Industrious Women

TTIGH upon sun-crowned hilltop in
i i Delaware County stands a pretty lit
tie white village. presided over by gen.
ius of character building, where in tho
last six years the latent spark of goodness
in the character Of hundreds of girls from
the nations scrap-heap Of crime has been
found and nourshed and the girl sent
back into the world strong enough to
meet and Withstand temptation
Eight years ago the inmates of the
Philadelphia House of Detention were
kept behind iron bars with nothing to
occupy their minds but morbid thoughts,
then turned out into the world again to
fall still lower and to find their way
into the State Penitentlary.
Then the managers sent to Chicago for
Mrs. Martha p. Falconer, at that time as
sistant superintendent of the Illinois
Childrens Home and Aid Society, who at
once set to work bringing about radical
changes in the entire system. Uniforms
were abolished, permission obtained from
the ministers of a number of churches
for the girls to attend services and two
years later Sleighton Farm, a tract OF 100
acres was bought, on which the little
white village was built.
Distinguished from every other reform
school, Sleighton Farm was founded upon
the principle of teaching the girl to do
right because she loved to do it, giving
her even greater power of self-govern-
ment than the students of any of our
colleges have, and keeping her so busy
that she wouldn't have time for morbid
thoughts.
There is a spirit of deep radiating hap
piness about the village which astonishes
the visitor and envelops the girl.
The girl entering SleightOn Farm couea

is graded in school, and her lessons in
sewing, cooking and field work begin,

times in less time, each girl is promoted

SANDY SOIL NTENACES
UNIVERSITY BUILDING
Shifting Dirt Causes Floor of
Engineering School Structure
to Sink.

The instrument room of the electrical
department of the Engineering Building.
at the University of Pennsylvania, has
been virtually destroyed by the settling
OF the floor of the room. The settling
has thrown all the testing tables out of
position and has cracked and marred
the cement flooring.
The sinking of the floor is believed to
have been caused by the sinking of the
foundation. Part of the building was
constructed over sandy soil, which was
the bed of a stream. The soil has never
other buildings erected over the course
OF the old creek have settled and cracked
until in some cases they are unsightly.
The poor foundation caused the con-
tractors Of the Pepper Building. at S4th
and Walnut streets, great difficulty dur
ing construction, and has prevented the
erection of an overhead addition to
Franklin Field. An investigation made
by the professors in the Engineering De-
partment, some time ago, to determine
whether the present foundations of the
field would support a superstructure to
take care OF the great crowds, disclosed
the presence of weak foundations, due
to the old creek, which was filed
The University authorities have not
decided what the cost of the repairs TO
the engineering building will amount 10,
but 1t will not be excessive. An investi-
cation is being made to determine the
location of the fault and to permit re-
pairs.

The Pansy Bud

nNE summer evening snow-whIte
Opansy bud shut its eyes tight and
went to sleep.
And as 1t slept the shadows of the
evening crept over the sky. the moon
peeped up over the rim of the world
and the stars paraded through the
heavens
Into the garden where the pansy slept,
there erept tiny purple shadow a-hunt-
ing an adventure. II will surely get me
a playmate here" he said to himself
hopefully, "a playmate who will, with me,
seek adventure through the night"
For. you must know. this same little
shadow was very lonesome-not a play
mate could he find. Just as soon as he
picked out gay mOonbeam or dainty
sunbeam to frolic with, that moonbeam
or sunbeam was sure to vanishl Ii was

the girls of the honor cottages Each
| cottage has its own council, consisting
OF judge and a number of other of
| hcers. These councils meet every week.
Try cases and mete out punishments to
the transgressors. From time to time
the councils meet in Joint session.
Each cottage has it's campfire organi-
zatlon, which holds meets in nearby
woods, and works for honors from the
national organization. But it is over ath-
letics that cottage spirit runs high The
! baseball fans of the outside world are no
more enthusiastic over the league sched-
ules than these girls are over theirs.
Banners and cups are contested for and
are coveted with jealous pride.
Every two weeks one OF the leading de-
partment stores sends goods for store
TO Sleighton Farm. The school building
Is turned into a department store, and
every girl goes shopping with any money
she may have earned.
The school has it's own moving-picture
apparatus, and once week some of the
best reels are shown, while good speakers
and entertainers are not a novelty.
Each cottage has a piano and a Vic
trola which the girls have bought with
their own money, and they have many
other articles of furniture 1t is a pretty
sight to walk down the village street in
SA'iiiS anu CilCil BllulDseS OF tho
parties being held within the cottages
or the entertainments being given, for
with the help of their matrons the girls
stage plays, which are sometimes even
written in the cottages.
Every holiday is celebrated in an ap-
propriate manner, with pageants, parades
and SO forth.
But not everything that is done in the
village Is play. That is one of the Sc
crets of its success. The girls day is
full, every hour of it. with work, and the
play thrown in. All the farm work, save
the heavy plowing, is done by the girls.
There are always from two to three hum
dred persons to be fed. and nearly all the
food is produced upon the farm-veget1-
bles, meat, butter and eggs. The sewing
department is self-supporting, making not
only all the girls clothes-and they all
wear pretty gingham dresses ordinarily
but great many articles to sell.
Each girl spends a certain number of
hours a day in school at cooking and
sewing and in the field or the green
houses, where beautiful flowers are raised
There is one hour of rest every after
noon.
Every girl has her own room, which
she can decorate to suit her individual
taste, but which she must keep in order,
for order rules supreme everywhere in
this model village.
The colored children have their own
cottages and are under the care of officers
of their own race.

A CHARMING AFTERNOON FROCK
FOR THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN

WISH 1 could conduct
regular fashion section for
the stout woman. The only
difficulty lies in the fact that
only one stout woman out Of
ten is willing to admit that she
tips the scales around pro-
hibitive numerals. And yet /
never could, see why the stout
woman OF mature ars
shouldn't look just as well as
any other woman. She has the
same range of styles to choose
from and the same colorings.
She can wear fine material with
as much effect. And in many
cases she can look as we'll
groomed and as elegant as her
slender sister.
The key to this success, like
that of almost any sort, Is the
quality OF selection. The stout
woman should make a point OF
personally choosing the styles
and fabrics which suit her own
type best. This is merely
matter OF experience and can
be acquired in no time. Take
todays fashion, for instance.
1t shows a dressy frock of dark
pIum-colored satin, made on
flowing, graceful lines and suit
able for almost any occasion.
Figured chiffon, a great
favorite this season, is used on
the bodice. II forms the long
sleeves and the blouse part OF
the waist, showing white
chiffon lining underneath. White
has a tendency to relieve the
too sombre effect OF the satin.
The glrdle is narrow, so that
the size OF the waist is unac-
centuated. These little points
are just the ones which give
the impression OF chic to
stout woman's costume. AM
other significant one Is the
long sleeves, close fitting at the
wrist and finished on with a
touch OF lace.
The skirt is softly draped TO
one side. although not too much
so. II has no elaborate trim
ming OF any kind, relying for
its effectiveness on the grace OF
the lines and the softness OF
the satin used. II Is one OF the
most successful froeks OF the
kind shown this season.
