will prevail as last year.
There is a feature of the CORE
spondence which is attracting con-
siderable interest and that is the de-
sire of the secretary of the team to
secure all the available material of
an advertising nature concerning
Mesa so that it may be embodied
IN the booklet now being compiled
by the association. The matter will
doubtless be referred to the secretary
Of the Commercial Club so that the
literature may be forwarded at an
early date. The White Sox team
was given a rousing reception upon
their appearance here last year and
they have evidently not forgotten it.

KENNER c. KARTCHNER
THE Willy CHINESE

A friend of mine mas Just re-
turned from a remote part Of China
where he has been having a rail
way. He tells me the big difficulty
was the graves of Cinnamon, over
which, of course, no railway is sup
posed to run. At the outset it look
ed as if his line, in avoiding these
would become ''straighter than a
corkscrew, but not so straight as a
rainbow" Then he conceived the
notion of buying up graves that lay
on the coming line of route. The
willy Chinese were equal to him, for
they dug up the bones of their an
cestors and planted them ahead
right in the line of advance. My
friend fears that often he paid three
times for the same old bones but
he completed the rail?
way. which now runs in a fairly
line, except for the first
mile or two.-London Chronicle.

Mrs. Frank McCrary Of the Associ

Misplaced Sympathy; Plea for

The advantages of organized charity

Crazy, of the Associated Charities,
who says in an interview with The
Republican:
The day after Christmas, "a boy
called at the back door of u well
to do citizen, and asked for food
to take to his invalided mother He
said his father was dead and his
older sister out of work. OF course
the kind hearted people sent him
away with a basket full of good
things to eat.
In few days, by comparing notes,
the ladies of the neighborhood learn
ed that a number of them had given
about the same time. When it was
too late, they called the Associated
Charities, and discovered that the
family in question was well known
at the office, and that when it was
necessary, had been provided for by
the organization.
THE giving of aims should be

of the Associated Charities is to pre-
vent sympathetic people from charity

not to give to everyone. but to phone

Disease in Vienna

VENICE. Jan. 12.-Conditions in
the Austrian capital are daily be
coming more serious. This was
shown in private reports from vi
enna, and also from statements in
Austrian papers. Smallpox, cholera.
ana typhoid fever are prevalent Con-
ditions are also bad in other war
stricken districts.
Forty-five cases of smallpox were
officially reported in Vienna during
the first nine days of January. Many
cases of contagion were also reported
from various centers of lower and
upper Austria, Syria, Bohemia, Mo
raVia, Silesia and Galicia. Great
numbers of fugitives have arrived
from Bukowina and many more are
expected. Many are on the verge
of starvation. Prices of staples foods
are increasing and delicacies are no
longer obtainable.

work that has been
done during the past 50 weeks I found
looking at it through the eyes of one
who has had the opportunity to take no
little part in the activities of the organ
1Zation, that the subject could not be
done justice in the time at my disposal
before you today. In fact l will at
tempt to mention but few of the spe-
cific, tangible things we did, but with
your permission | will confine myself
more to intangible, invisible results;
those things not readily seen and I'M
derstood by those new in Rotary.
The Phoenix Rotary club was per-
manently organized January fifth, one
year ago last Tuesday, but the real
work of organization had taken place
during the two months preceding. At
the organization the membership was
30, today it is nearly 100.
Many difficulties were experienced
by the organizers of the club in inter
esting the men they approached as
prospective members in the project. A
number questioned the need or value
of Rotary club to a city the size of
nOtIIlA anu lluttu lIt olllttlo VI tIC
international association inclined to
hold up our application for membership
on the grounds that club usually is a
failure in a city of $4,000 or less. One
of our Invest members told me recently
that when he Joined the club shortly
after the organization he did so with
reluctance feeling that the separating
Of him from his due would be the end
of the whole matter and that the or
ganization would die natural death in
few weeks.
However the promoters of the club
saw farther in the future and were de-
termned to build up a real Rotary club
that would be a permanent fixture in
Phoenix. In order to insure this its
membership has been selected with
care from men whose businesses were
thoroughly representative of their line
and whose moral character and bust
ness integrity could not be successfully
assailed
Our meetings were a success from
the first and as our membership grew
we were constantly seeking more COM
modious quarters for our luncheons.
We first met at the Adams hotel,
