Mrs. Henry D. Ross, president of the Arizona Federation of Women's clubs declared at the close of it's convention week ago, that the work of the or sanitation was inspirational Her sen timents must have been shared by the clubs for activities were resumed with a vim and eagerness and programs demonstrated that serious thought pre- dominated rather than entertainment. The Glendale Woman's club has been especially active recently, it's fields eX- tending beyond the confines of the club 10 the city itself. As a result of an amateur play it presented to Glendale public drinking fountain. The civics department of the club Mrs Ira Moore, chairman. met Wednesday and after discussion endorsed the health certifi- cate for marriage. "A Plea for Social Purity" and the Advantages and Linn itationS of Glendale Boys and Girls" were interesting subjects discussed af- -er the reading of q paper on Natural Rights of q Child' by the newly elect ed president, Mrs. E. F. Jack.
 The first right of the child is to be
 
 the second right of d child is q good home. This may be one-room cabin or a stately mansion but it must he a real home not an abiding place. Charles W. Eliot says, Family life is 1he most precious thing in the world. ... The satisfaction of right family life are normally continuous and durable. The sweet home is full of cheerfuness. tenderness, health and honor" In those last words are suggested to me the next right of q child to be well trained. Influences outside the home will effect this right but from the first there must be physical. menta' and moral training. The parent will be compelled to teach both by precept and example and happy that boy or girl whose training is mostly by example. We are likely to want to make the path too easy for little feet but disciplining must begin early and the child who makes q man or woman is the one who $ trained to overcome obstacles and not go round them. Honore Wllsie in her new serial still Jim, has given some excellent thoughts. After the lTdSic Ntdln OL Jiiil ldllltI anu Nuilt his loss is very keenly felt, Jim finds consolation in trying to keep if possible the advice of his father during the wears that are to come. So his mother found written in his scraWling hand with the carefully printed title. My Fathers Advice to Me-
 My :ather said to me, Jimmy, never make excuses. it's always too late for excuses
 He said, 'A liar is a first cousin to a skunk. There isn't a worse coward than liar"
 He said 10 me, Don't belly ache; stand up to your troubles like a man..
 My father said Hang to what you undertake like a hound to q warm scent
 He said to me, Life is made up of obeying What you don't learn from me about that, the world will kick into you. The stars themselves obey law God must hate a lawbreaker"
 My father said. Somehow we Amer jeans are quitters

is truly fortunate. sThus far the rights of q child have been those under the control of the parent but the right to an education, the right to the right kind of environment outside the home depends upon the men and women of the community whether they are par ents or not The home may he ideal but if the school has not the same high ideals if as we heard last week from federation speakers that it's ideals be anything less than the making Of men and women. that her greatest ambition is not to cram the intellect or train the hand that these are means only to an end then are our schools giving the child his natural rights. There are other rights as the right to be well governed, the right to be protected by adequate laws, but these rights will come right of themselves if our child ren are trained right

Many other things could be enumerated that the city at present cannot handle for lack of funds. They all cost money and cost money to keep up. The city has all it can do with the solution of such pressing problems as enlarging the pumping plant, the widening of Van Buren street, the elimination of the Salt river canal. purification of sewage and increasing the lighting facilities both arc and ornamental.

GET TO KNOW YOUR GOODS
Method by Which One Man MADE
Good" May Be Recommended to
All Statesmen.

lnquisitiveness is not generally re-
garded as an admirable trait. Yet
when inquisitiveness is properly d.
rected. 1t is one Of the most useful
habits of mind. A story illustrating
this point is told by John j. Arnold,
vice-president of the First National
bank Of Chicago. In talk to EN-
ployees OF the members of the Chi
eago Association of Commerce he re-
lated the experience of young man
he had known as boy in wholesale
house in Chicago, where the latter
started his career as a helper to a
salesman.
He got hold of certain classes of
goods" Mr.. Arnold said. THE names
appealed to him. He set to work and
studied the history Of that particular
fabric. He got the name of the fac.
tory. He wrote to the factory in Eng.
land and asked for particulars as to
the institution. He studied that in
stitution from one end to the other
and he studied all of the fabrics. all
of the different things that went to
make up that particular piece OF
goods, and in that way he analyzed
every piece of goods that came into
his hands. He was not satisfied mere
ly to take the goods and hand them
out, but he wanted to know what he
was handing out. The result is, to-
day he is one of the most expert buy
ers in this city, in one of the greatest
wholesale houses. Those are the
things that count. Get down to a
study Of the inside workings Of the
thing that you are handling"

REALLY NOT A FAIR BET
Young Man Made Wager Which It
Was Almost Impossible for
Him to Lose.

There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of watch. Other

her lips tightly closed, her eyes star
ing straight before her and her every
muscle tense with a powerful effort
of self-control. In another sat a
young man whose face expressed Sc
riousness but confidence. In his hand
he held an open watch which he OBJ
served closely, only raising his eyes
now and then TO glance at the beauti
ful girl, who seemed to be in such
agony.
Five seconds, ten, fifteen, twenty
seconds passed The position Of
neither the young man nor beautiful
girl had changed.
Suddenly her eyes cleaned with a
wild light; she clasped her hands con-
vulsively, and
Il must speak." burst from her
bloodless lips.
"Twenty-four seconds" said the
young man. as he closed the watch
and put it back into his pocket. You

seconds"
He had bet on a sure thing.

Europe Loses Sweet Tooth.

The girls they left behind them,
TIE British Tommy. his French col
league and his German enemy went
off to the war, suffered good deal
more than has been supposed up to
this time.
The candy export figures from this
country prove 1t. Europe curtailed the
bean supply of the United States when
Austria's exports were stopped. Now
America has retaliated by reducing
the quantity of candy sent to the old
world.
The first five months OF the war
caused a decrease of sl53.S23 in the
value of candy exports from the
United States, as compared with the
same period Of the year before. The
value of the total exports of candy
for the calander year was s1.1S5,S94.

HATES LONG-TAILED COATS

Senator Norris Of Nebraska never
wears a long-tailed coat. He hates
long-tailed coats. One day he was
asked why and he told this story.
When he attended college years
ago at Baldwin university, in Berea.
O.. Norris and little crowd of stu
dents one night conceived merry
prank. On the college campus was a
towerlike building on which some re-
pairs were being made. A large
quantity Of old lumber was piled up
on the top Of the tower The student
comedians thought it would be pretty
rich to shove this lumber right over
the edge and hear 1t hit the ground
below.
They crawled into the building
through window. Two or three OF
the students wore cutaway coats,
which were considered the snappy
thing for varsity men in those days.
but they got through the window all
right, and with their combined
strength were able to heave over.
