IN MEMORY OF
 NATIONS DEAD
Enthusiastic Meeting of Representative Citizens
 of Tempe to Plan An
 nual Memorial Service to Be Held Sunday, May 30

That Tempe citizens will fittingly commemorate on Sunday, the 30th of this month, in honor to the soldiers who so nobly fought behind the Amer ican flag in the wars of the nation, was pretty definitely decided upon at a meeting of representative citizens held Friday evening. There were host of live suggestions offered and the interested men and women who were present spent an hour or more in discussing and arranging for the annual memorial service. To hold the service on the Sunday afternoon pre- ceding the holiday, seemed more sat isfactory. and it is very probable that date will be chosen.
 The following committees have been appointed to look after their various divisions of the program.
 Program and general oversight of all committees: Rev. Chas. H. Dains; superintendent. J Q. Mullen; presi- dent. A. J. Matthews.
 Music: Miss Laura Schmidt, Miss Myrtle Rice. c. w. Miller. J. l.. John ston. G. R. Finch.
 Grounds: Jay Blount, Marshal Browning, Constable Estrada, William Goodwin.
 Decorations: Mrs. H. G. Corson, O. C. Watson. Mrs. J. W. Mclean, Mrs. w. J. Kingsbury.
 Flag committee: w. H. Phillips, Colonel J. F. Rice.
 The success of last years service, the first real ore Tempe ever par ticipated in, has been a stimulus for early activities in arranging the pro- gram this year. From the mayor down through every department of h. lie attention, there are representa- tives who are interested and assisting in the memorial service, and who will fellow it through to a most fitting observance in honor of the dead of the nation.

MESA NEWS NOTES
ROOSEVELT LAKE AS
 \ FISHERS PARADISE

That Roosevelt lake is increasing in popularity each week is evidenced by the number of fishing parties or ganized weekly to make the trip to the dam. At II yesterday afternoon fishing parties from Phoenix and surrounding country passed through Mesa en route to the dam. Mesa alone contributes from a half dozen to a dozen parties making the trip Saturday afternoon and returning Sunday afternoon and evening. More over some splendid catches have been reported and the fishing is said to be getting better with each succeed ing trip, mainly for the reason that real fishing weather has apparently commenced to predominate and then again because the anglers are better learning the most successful way to fish. There are a large variety of fish in the lake which were supplied bv the government d few years ago. A great many of them go over the spillways where they are either killed or terribly bruised. Before the water became 50 deep over the spillways the fish were all killed in making the descent down through the falls from the spillways to the river bed below.
 While the Salt River valley is sending a large delegation of fishers weekly. the mining towns of Globe and Miami are also sending a larger

 Among other things, he said: some people who have had more opportuni- ties than others. yet never get any where because the opportunities were not grasped. The man who does
 things worth while is he who inn proves every opportunity and sets for

As these boys and girls go out to battle in the world. they need far more and better equipment than did our fathers and mothers. and we must take ad- vantage of the opportunities we have in fitting them for 1ifes battle.

I. H.S. SENIOR PLAY
 WAS GREAT SUCCESS
Nearly a Thousand See "The Gen tIeman From Mississippi;" Play
 Good in Every Respect

The 1915 seniors of the normal have placed one more star in their crown, significant of their most successful presentation on Friday evening of "The Gentleman From Mississippi" Nearly a thousand peo- pie witnessed the production, most remarkable audience for Tempe, and everyone was thoroughly pleased with the efforts of the tWenty-three young people who had been drilling for weeks to make the cast perfect in every respect.
 There was a tact about the stag ing that made the play doubly en- tertaining. Every scene had it's per feet setting, the lobby of the Interna- tional hotel at Washington was well pictured, the reception hall of the LangdOn home in act three, was un- usually beautiful and the stage eff fects for the other two scenes were likewise splendid.
 The characters were well portrayed and the grating politicians of con- gress, together with lone honest Sen ator Langdon, the gentleman from Mississippi" were seemingly quite at home to their duties. Merton Rice. the Mississippian statesman, Glenn Downs, playing the part of the sen atOr's secretary. and Miss Bernice Smith representing Mrs. Spangler, were especially good in their char acter interpretations. In fact, every member of the singular twenty three member cast, was good in every line and during every second of the four hour play.
 The unusualness of the audience was a noticeable feature of the play. There were people present from ev- cry part of the valley and many members and attaches of the state legislature were over from Phoenix to see how they do things in Wash ington. The seniors realized a nice little profit from their play that will be used to defray expenses on the annual and other items that natur- ally come due a commencement time.

AMATEUR SPORTS
DELEGATES MEET

New York, Dec N.-Oficers and
delegates from fifteen organizations
governing amateur sports in the Unit
ed States and Canada are here today
to attend a conference called by the
Intercollegiate association Of Anna
teur athletes of America to consider
the definition of an amateur. The
meeting will be held late this after
noon One of the main questions to
be presented is that regarding the
amateur standing Of an athlete in one
sport who has become a professional
in another sport, as in the case Of
Brickley, the Trinity college football
player. The advisory committee OF
the Intercollegiate association has
prepared for submission to the con-
ference a definition Of an amateur as
lone who engages in sport solely for
the pleasure and physical benefit he
derives therefrom and to whom
sport is nothing more than an avoca-
ton" The committees suggestion
provides that an amateur may be dis
barred from fraud, such as playing
under an assumed name, competing
for money, coaching for money, cap
l., italizing his athletic fame by allowing
his name to be used to promote the
sale of sporting goods, or by playing
with or against professionals.
Two other important athletic con
ventions will follow the general con
ference. The National collegiate .ath

causes of babies deaths. The report
shows an average infant death rate
of 1894 out of eevry 1000 babies in a
steel making and coal mining town,
as against rate Of 81 out of every
1000 in a residential suburb. An
even greater contrast is found De-
tween the most congested sections
and tle choicest resident section in
each of these two communities.
Commenting upon these findings,
the report says:
''rhe more favorable the civic ana
family surroundings and the better
the general conditions of life, the
more clearly are they reflected in a
