 One matter of intense interest noted by MT. Leach was the refusal by the Ford people to fill an order for 3S,O0O Fords for the allies. In spite of the promise of nineteen mil lion dollars worth of business, the firm preferred to try to catch up on home orders.

INTEREST SHOWN IN
 HELEN KELLER HERE

The interest shown in the an- nounced lecture by Helen Keller and her teacher and companion, Mrs. John Macy, at the High School auditorium on March 13, has already proven this to he one of the events of the year in Phoenix. The lecture is one of the most remarkable human chron- icles ever told and those who have heard Miss Keller realize that there could be no stronger example of opti- mism and courage shown than in this triumph of one thrice barred from the world. Blindness" said Helen Keller recently, lis brought by those who don't know, to increase the power of other senses That is not so. The habit of patience is the only compensation. The great ob- stacle still remains. One can only realize the amount of Helen Keller's patience after hearing her speak, and after seeing how she has made the outside world come to her and be-
 come a normal part of her life.

over to the police was also strick-
en- out, because Mills declared
