 "'Tain't that" Lafe corrected, but
 "Well, all right, If you insist" said MT. Tanning, pausing. Have 1t your own way"
 He searched in his breast pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper Then he handed a fountain pen to Lafe.

Proper Lighting.

Add immensely to the attractiveness of your home by d1ffusing the lights tn- stead of focusing them on one point Eye strain will be relieved and shad- ows and outlines will be softened, es- pecially when amber lights are used. The new indirect lighting fixtures arc replacing old fashioned ones, making the lighting problem more artistic and less expensive.
 Much the same effect may be pro duced with less expense by frosted bulbs and globes, gelatin films and glass diffusing plates. There are va rious types of this indirect lighting suitable for all rooms, from the kitch- en to the parlor, and 1t is to be recom- mended as a blessing to the busy eyes and the tense nerves of today.

CENTRAL SCHOOL ID
 BE MADE IRRITABLE
Suggestions Of Building Inspector Will
 Be Complied With

On the heels of a report of the con dition of the Central school building an inspection was made of that structure yesterday morning in the report of which certain dangerous features of the building were pointed out. But after conference with the trustees it was stated that arrangements would be made by which all danger would be obviated. The trustees had already de- cided to make no use of the second story of the building and as many as possible of the pupils within what have been the limits of the Central district will be transferred to the Monroe and the Adams schools. The inspector re- garded the ancient wiring as especially dangerous. But that is a matter that will be easily remedied. There is no need of lighting in that building and accordingly the wires will be discon- nected. Such other precautions as may be suggested by the city authorities will be taken.

CATERPILLAR TRACTOR
 10 REBUILD STREETS
New Apparatus May Be Employed In
 Regarding Unpaved Section

If the present plans of City Manager Robert A. Craig carry, it will not be long before the city of Phoenix will have the best unpaved streets in the southwest. Bids will be opened next Wednesday for a caterpillar tractor, which should cost perhaps in the neigh borhood of S1600 This tractor will have a pulling capacity equal to eight teams of horses or mules. It will have the advantage of not eating as much as sixteen horses and not becoming fatigued after eight hours work.
 Should the purchase of this tractor be effected it is planned to utilize it in dragging a scarifier over the dirt streets and to operate the graders that will he sent out on the heels of the scarifier. As the tractor can be oper- ated at least twenty hours a day it will be doing the work of about sixteen teams without the expense of feeding that array of stock. Incidentally the tractor will cost the city not more than the average price demanded for three good teams of mules.
 Once the tractor has been purchased and put into commission, City Street Superintendent V. A. Thompson will put into effect his plans for bettering the condition of all the dirt streets in the city. He expects that by fair week the majority of the streets will be in a i better condition than they have for , years.

 The prizes for the tackiest lady went to Grace Kohl, second prize to Mrs. Lewis, both were dressed so near per feet. it was hard to decide on which should fall the honor. The mems prize went to II. D. Wilson, who was a splen- did imitation as a down and out Jew. MT. Sidell was second as a farmer.

After having heard some stuttered evidence, the chief deemed that the internal strife had not been kept as internal as the neighbors thought it should, and booked the excited kids to appear at four this afternoon for further explan ation.
 4 high night of it had been had on the campus, and one of the departing bands had run foul of a victim on North Third street. The initiation proceedings aroused the good folk of that vicinity. and the phone was used to summon the patrol Officer Duncan was the one who solved the problem of preventing the quail-Iike escape of the offenders.
