MUST Have
A BIT OF SMOCK
Shocking Gusts the Stock
ing as Means of Handi-
work for Fair Sex
DRESSES THAT HOOK
UP THE BACK AGAIN
BY MARGARET MASON,

written for the United Press-J
No longer Sue and Sallie sit
And knit and knit and knit,
On hosiery for soldiers bold,
They've had enough Of it
Now Sue and SaIIie sit and rock,'
They've cast aside the sock,
Their busy fingers now they ply,
And suock and smock and smock-
NEW YORK, July "A frock that
hasn't bit of a smock somewhere
pickering its surface isn't worth hav-
ing. It certainly is shocking the way
the shocking has ousted the stocking
as a means of handiwork among the
fair sex these DAYS. Everybody's doing
it for since fashion has lifted up her
voice and said Let there be smocks'
there simply isn't anything else to it.
No self respecting female would
think of acceding to the coax Come

of the lovely new linen garden smocks
in a charming shade OF rose. green,
blue or yellow. Not all these ador-
able smocks are worn within the gar
den wall either by any manner Of
means They are worn Wherever
the MILDLY blouse erstwhile held IN
disputed sway. SO even if your own
particular garden happens to be only
window box of red geraniums you
may still wear one of these fascinat-
ing smocks with perfect impunity.
Don't by any means jump to the
conclusion that all the shocking is
confined to the smocks. Some of our
very best summer gowns are simply
lavish with it, Apeing the quaint lit
tie shocked dresses for Riddles that
have long been exported from London
for fortunate infants, grown-ups'
dresses are now shocked in dainty
colors on their white organdie or
other sheer fabric foundations. Even
taffeta frocks and other summer silks
rely solely upon shocking as their
only garnishment.
Exquisite blouses OF organdie and
handkerchief linen are honeycombed
with shocking in either white or col
ored threads and now this form of
handiwork has even invaded the realm
of lingerie, and the chemise, petit
coat and other essential undergar-
ments of the up-to-date damsel are
simply shocked up, one SIDE and down
| the other. You can't even go to bed
/ these nights in a manner approved by

THE SCHOOL OF ALMA
 MODEL INSTITUTION

The great movement sweeping over the United States looking to the bet torment of educational facilities in the rural districts seems to have struck the Salt River Valley in ad- vance of many of our surrounding states Oftentimes one is led to be- lioVe that outside the city limits peo- pie are denied the advantages which are to be had in orr city schools Ir fact, many people fail to realize that right here in the Salt River Valley some of our rural schools are equal to those found in any other state
 It is a noticeable fact that when any state has rural school which affords equal opportunities with the most modern city schools, it is adver- tised throughout the land That com munity is pointed out as the standard after which other districts should be modelled.
 The Republican has called the at tention of it's readers many times to the wonderful advantages of the Salt River Valley and especially the ex- cellence of many of our schools One of the greatest factors in the progress and permanency of our valley is the

 It is situated one mile west of Mesa on the Arizona Eastern railroad, just across the road from the state experimental farm, in the heart of farming community II is known and spoken of as one of the best rural schools in Arizona and the people of rt,a +,-s~ field against all corners.
 The enrollment almost 300. is 100 per cent white children, condition which places the school in a class by itself The school employs a corps of ten teachers; the buildings are ad- mirably adapted for school work and thoroughly sanitary; the equipment is modern and of the best. Beside the regular branches manual training and domestic science are taught while special instruction in music and draw ing is eiver. The yards. the lawns, the flowers must be seen to be ap- preciated.
 This condition contrasts very for cibIy with that pointed out by one of the leading educators q short time ago. He said that the best buildings, equipment and teachers were found in the cities. while in the country dIs- tricts children were provided with makeshift and insufficient means of education Permanent residents and the backbone of the nation are those who. are on the farms, while the cit ies are crowded with the Mexican, foreign and colored children.

A YEAR, 12looo DRUG DOSES

How many drug addicts, popularly known as dope fiends.' are there in the United States2 Some writers have gone as far as to assert that . percent of the population of the country, or about million persons are victims of Ina forming drugs. but experts of the United States Public Health Service who have just completed an inquiry in to the matter reach the conclusion that the number is probably not far from two hundred thousand. just one-tenth The lay estimate.
 The public health service found the question difficult one to answer for obvious reasons. and was obliged to make checking estimates from various points of departure. It was known, for instance. that the amount of opium and its derivatives legitimately imported in a year is sufficient for 2.5oO million average doses and that the amount of cocoa leaves and cocaine similarly brought into the country annually would make 325 million average doses. Since the amount of bit-forming drugs brought in illegitimatelv is known to be small. the service took the import records as setting the extreme limits of use by addicts.
 In Tennessee, where an exceedingly strict anti-narcOtic law is in force, the service found the most trustworthy da- Ia as to the number of addicts and the amounts of drugs consumed. Just D. 370 users of habit-forming drugs. two tenths of 1 per cent of the population. were registered a year after the law went into effect and the users of opium and it's derivatives each consumed an average of twelve thousand doses a wear The same ratio applied to the whole country would give 11S,00O ad- diets using l.416 million average doses. Cocaine users. the public health ser vice estimates, increase the total of drug victims to two hundred thousand. - Washington star.

SUIT ID DUST
 LYMAN IS FILED
Local Attorney Files Suit in the Supreme Court Asking That Attorney General Be Compelled to Start Proceedings.

Papers were filed yesterday after noon in the supreme court. by R. NJ. Fleming. a local attorney, praying for a writ of mandamus compelling Attorney General Wiley E. Jones to bring quo warranto proceedings to oust Judge Frank Fly Lyman from the bench of the superior court of Maricopa county.
 The petition which Fleming filed states that on the tenth of July, he was attorney for the heirs of the James H. Crosby estate, in case to be tried before the superior court and that over his protest, Judge Stanford assigned the case to Judge Lyman to be heard. To test the val idity of Judge Lymans decisions, is the reason for bringing action in the supreme court.
 Fleming claims in his petition that the appointment of Judge Lyman by the acting governor was invalid as the state constitution expressly states that all superior judges shall be cleo ted by a vote of the people at q regularly called election.

HOW TO HELP THE MEMORY

Those persons-and they are many who are troubled by a real or fan cied weakness of memory should lear two facts in mind.
 The first is, that nine times out of ten the memory weakness is not, as they suppose. associated with any organic weaknes of the brain.
 The second, that in almost every case their memory power can be greatly improved if they will only go the right way about it.
 The right way moreover, is not a hard way. It puts no severe tax on the mind. On the contrary. 1t Is of such a character that it has the effect of strengthening all the men tai powers. as well as the power to remember.
 It involves no laborious learning of memory systems and memory techniques," such as are so often employed by self styled memory specialists. These systems have one fatal defect.
 Many of them undoubtedly do help the memory with regard to remem- boring specific dates. pieces of po- etry. etc. But in the actual prac tice of life much more is needed than ability to memorize verse. And no system based on memorization meets this larger need. All such systems fail because they do not take into account that to inn prove the memory for one particu lar set of facts is by no means equivalent to improving it for an other and very different set of facts.
 Nemorization. therefore. does not
 
 ment This nevertheless can be eff fected to a surprising extent, in ev- cry case of memory weakness ex cept the comparatively few due to organic brain defect.
 What man shall remember-so far as concerns the power of con- scious recall-is determined chiefly by the degree of attention he pays to it. And this in it's turn is chiefly determined by the amount of inter- est he takes in it.
 It may, indeed, be set down as psychological truism that in interest we have the one great secret of n good memory.
 If a man become interested enough in anything he will overcome with regard to it even inborn deficiencies of memory power. In the words of the late William James, who still is our foremost authority on memory: "The great memory for facts which Darwin and a Spencer reveal in their books is not incompatible with the possession on their part of a brain with only a middling degree of physiological retentiveness Let a man early in life set him self to the task of verifying such a | theory as that of evolution, and facts will soon cluster and cling to him | like grapes to their stem. Their re- lations to the theory will hold them | fast: and the more of these the mind is able to discern the greater | the erudition will become | If, then, you are troubled about | vour memory power do not waste l time trying to improve it by the | sterile process of memorization | Instead, cultivate a keener inter- | est in the things which it is most 1 important for you to remember | your work, your social activities | your home duties.
 The more interest you develop ir | these. the better will be your mem ory.-H. Addington Bruce.

'EM KNOW
 WHERE DAM |S
John Hyder Objects to Paucity of Information on Roosevelt Dam Sign at San Francisco Fair He Remedies It.

John Hyder returned to Phoenix yesterday. having completed a sum mer vacation that lasted for five weeks. He first went to Venice where his family went early in the season for the summer. Later Mir. Hyder visited the San Francisco eX- position. His descriptions of the big fair are vivid and entertaining. and many were the hours that he spent enlightening people regarding the climate and opportunities of Arizona. One of the things that delighted him the most was the exhibitions and reproductions representing the Roose- Welt dam. NIT. Hyder noticed quick ly that a sign read Roosevelt Dam" Many people from many parts Of the world were constantly viewing this exhibit in the Southern Pacific build ing.
 lie soon became annoyed that so many questions were asked. indicat- ing that a large number of people do not know where the Roosevelt dam is- He got so interested that he spent one hour explaining to the visitors where the Roosevelt Dam really k and about its wonders.
 MT. Hyder immediately looked up
 
 plaininE the situation and asking them @ add little more informa- tion on the sign. particularly to show in what part of Arizona it is located, and the fact that it irrigated the land around Phoenix. When MT Hyder left the exposition he had been promised that more specific informa- tion would be placed on the sign of the Roosevelt dam exhibit in the Southern Pacific building. and if that SiEn does not now tell a fuller story, it is no fault of MT. Hyder's.
 one If Hyder's greatest disappoint nents in the san Francisco fair was the lack of an Arizona building to call the attention of the world to the existence of Arizona so near to the fair. This want was probably par tiallv made up by the visit and the resulting Arizona talk put up by him. Mr. Hyder. with his family spent several days at the San Diego expo siufon. which they enjoyed very much. The family has returned with MT Hyder

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Stafford Springs Girl Thrown Over
 EmbaIll<lncnt by Train.

Stafford Springs, Jan. 12.-Anna Peloni. a young Italian girl, while walking over the bridge between this place and Orcuttville, yesterday af- ternoon was struck by an engine of the Central Vermont railway. and was carried across the bridge and thrown, uEhurt, down the embankment on the other side. She was taken to the Johnson Memorial hospital, where it was found that no bones were broken and that she had apparently received no injuries whatever.
 Miss PelOni was in the middle of the bridge when she heard a whistle rear her. She had not heard the train and was so bewildered by the sud- denness of it's approach that she stood still on the tracks, unable to run or to step to one side. The locomotive fender struck her in such a way as to lift her off her feet. Then the speed of the train held her in front of the engine until the end of the bridge was reached and she fell down the embankment and rolled under the bridge on the ice.
