A DIGEST OF FREAKS.

The Literary Digest recently pub
lished list of the freak bills which
legislators in various states had intro
duceds at the recent sessions with the
hope Of having them enacted into laws.
The list was taken from a Texas news
paper of standing and influence. In
the list was the bill introduced into the
Kansas legislature early in the session
by some wide-eyed reformer who wanted
to prohibit women from trying to appear
younger than they really are. The bill
placed ban upon the use of face powder
or rouge, hair dye or bleach, piercing the
ears or wearing earrings. The publicity
given the freak legislators dream caused
the Wichita Eagle to remark editorially
to the effect that the time had come
to squelch the freaks who were making
"a laughing stock of the state. This
sentiment was re-echoed throughout
the press of Kansas and it is likely that,
in the future, very few bills of that
nature will ever see the light of day in
Topeka.
Here is the list as published in tie

CITY 0F HUNDRED
 THOUSAND IN 5. R. VALLEY

ern towns are oVerrated, oVerbuilt and oVeradVertised. But of all the places l have seen, there is less of that eXag- geratiOn here, than in any western city, for there seems to be a much more solid foundation for metropolis in Phoenix than in a number of California sections 1 might mention. I don't be- lieVe 1 am eXaggerating a bit when I say that Ph<niX should hold 1000 people easily, and without overcrowd- ing the needed lines of business, as is the case in Los Angelh.
 For twenty-five years. l have been sending my money down here to be in vested, mostly in homes, through Mir Green If I were not carrying a busi- ness, and needing capital. I should be tempted to buy here. for this valley looks mighty good to me-
 During his brief stay here MT Heinz saw much of the valley with his Home Builder friends. He left last night for his home, highly pleased with the city and confident of its future He is very wealthy man and claims to have made his money by backing the same judgment which he exercised when he called Phoenix good.

DANCER IN ENGLISH MINING
Lack of Glass Made in Germany for
 Safety Lamps

The English mines are now lacking in the high resistance glass with which safety lamps are protected Formerly these were imported from Germany and Austria, where the flourishing glass industry was able to furnish a supply of the first qual- lty Of course this importation IS now impossible, and there Is an ac- tive search in Great Britain for the means of supplying its place within that country itself.
 Ii seems that up to the present time only one English concern has succeeded in turning out glass that can stand the severe test imposed by the government So it is possible that the stock of foreign glass that will satisfy the demand may be ex- hausted before a sufficient quantity can be made in the United King dom. The authorities are in an em- barrassing situation: either they must relax the severity of their tests, despite the fact that the strength or the glass is an important factor in the safety of the miners; or part of the coIleries must shut down.
 of course, for the time being, the former course has been adopted. and the home secretary has made a de- cision authorizing the provisional use. for safety lamps, of glass that has not passed the usual tests. It Is to be considered sufficient that the lamps have been made in accordance with the general specifications regarding dimensions etc.
 Manifestly for the time being. the mines will be less safe. for consider able research will be necessary be- fore protective glass can be obtained of such strength that made in Germany or Austria.

WHY FLETCHER'S FLEET
 MET WITH DEFEAT
Weather Conditions Were Favorable
 to Attack by Enemy Ships
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHI


 WASHINGTON. May 26-The su- periority of the enemy in units representing a fleet of heavily armed battle cruisers. coupled with weather conditions favorable to an attack brought about the failure of Admiral Fletcher's defense of the Atlantic seabOard in the 'naval war game which closed yesterday, with Rear 1, Admiral BeattNs invaders in q posi- ton to establish base at Chesa- peake Bay The story of the game as told in reports to the Navy de- partment revealed that Beatty. with theoretically stronger forces, engaged the main body of the defending fleet | on Thursday and destroyed about ! half of Fletcher's scouts while easily eluding the supporting dreadnaughts. Then when Fletcher drew off to guard against the movement against New England or New York. the 1 enemy" swept southward and pre- pared for establishing base of op- erations by landing an expedition from his transports, and at the same time faced northward with q sufficient force to deal with any squadron the defenders might send against him. F1etcher's defensive campaign was | described as a good one, but he was l handicapped not only by the weather and lack of speedy scouts with long range guns. but by the inability to have his submarines on the scene when the final test against the en- 1 emy came.
