REAL TREAT AT
 WOMAN'S CLUB
"Crime, Its Punishment and Prevention" Subject of Interesting Discussion by Mrs. Gold

The Civics Department of the Woman's Club enjoyed a real treat at its last session. ''Crime, it's Punishment and Prevention" was the theme ably handled by Mrs. F. M. Gold.
 In her definition of crime as 8 violation of law, she showed that what was crime in one age and in one locality was not crime at other times and places; further, that all crime is a visible sign of inadequacy of existing conditions, and a re- proaoh to the age and nation in which it exists. She touched upon the subject of the "born criminal, '' and affirmed that criminal anthro- palogy was not yet an established science.
 In her treatment of punishment she traced very entertaingly the history of prisons from the 18th century to the present, intr oducing the work of John Howard, the im- provement in sanitation, industries, etc. Also the deportation system which resulted in the penitentiary ot the present day.
 MT. Gold here took up the sub ject of penitentiaries and demon strated ny drawings the three model d esigns now in use. His talk was very instructive.
 This was followed by discussion on capital punishment. Mrs. Greene and Mrs. Cureton taking their stand for the death penalty gave some fine arguments in its favor. In the absence of Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Slower who were to have pre- sented the opposite side, Dr. Espe- nosa took the floor and delivered an interesting and enthusiastic speech against capital punishment. Some of the audience were disap- pointed at not having been given a chance to speak on this subject, but the time of these meetings being limited to 5 o'clock the hour was up much to our regret and loss, no doubt.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR
 ANCE SOLVED THIS WEEK.
Joseph Angemuller Whose Disappearance was Re ported Last Week, Found in Oceanside

The local Post Office has receiv-- ed notification from Joseph Anger muller to forward his mail to Oceanside, California, where h. is. said to have work. It has not been learned why he left so sud denly without notification to any one, nor why he left his bedding and cooking utensils in the house, where he patched. It is remark able above all else that he should have failed to inform the Santa Fe as to where to send his check to- him.
 This case is similar to a number of other cases of disappearancess where the men have been found at work in some other locality, later. It is always well to have them in- investigated in order the town may be freed of all blame for disapwear-- ances that are voluntary. It has been a good many years since any one has been known to be made away with for their money in this town-in fact good many years. since murder of any kind has oc- cured here. This is a reputation worth keeping and if each case of disappearance is carefully investi- gated no ground may be left for anyone to so much as hint against the good name of the town

13TH ANNUAL MEETING
 OF WOMAN'S CLUBS
Brief Report of Thirteenth Annual Meeting of Ariz- ona Federation-Largest Gathering of Club on Rec ord

The Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the Arizona Federation of Woman's Clubs was held in Phoe. nix January 19 to 22. The object of the Federation as expressed in its constitution is mutual inspira- tion and concerted action among woman's organizations in Arizona" That this object is being carried out was evident in the spirit of harmony manifested during the gathering of Arizona Club Women in Phoenix last week.
 This was the largest gathering of Club Women ever held in Arizona and, judging by the reports read from the various clubs, and by the serious thought as we'll as the en- thusiasm manifested among the members at all times, we may eX- pect a wonderful growth in club spirit and activities in Arizona during the coming year.
 There are now thirty-three clubs in the Arizona Federation represent ing a membership of more than 2OOO women. During the past year fourteen clubs have come into the Federation with membership of nearly seven hunhred women.
 Much of this growth is the logical development of the work begun by women who have served as pioneers in club work in Arizona. Promi- nent among these are the names of those women who have given time and brains as we'll as financial aid in serving as president of the Fed eration: Mrs. A. J. McClatchie now of Los Angeles, Mrs. B. A. Fowler of Phoenix, Mrs. S. w. French Of Douglas, Mrs. Thomas J. Pugh of Yuma, Mrs. $. c. Newson of Tue son, pr. Agnes Mckee Wallac of Fort Grant.
 However, club work in Arizona has receive d much inspiration and impetus during the past year thru the labors of the active Federation President, Mrs. H. D. Ross of Phoenix. Rather than avail her self of the benefits of the Biennial held in Chicago last June, Mrs. Ross chose to undertake to visit each club in Arizona. Through her encouragement new clubs have been organized and have come into the Federation. Harmony was present at every session. Since

 "Motor Age," a publication de- voted to the life, liberties and pur- suit of happiness of automobilists got Gin bad" with the senate of the state of AT rizona this morning when a communication from the editor of that publication addressed to the Adjutant General was referred to that body. This modern Fenni- more Cooper sitting in his palatial office snugly ensconsed within the Chicago Loop must have fairly shuddered as he looked out toward South Clark street or the "Island" where more road agents, Indians, thugs and crimesters are herded within two-mile radius than all the great south west has ever housed. If he did not shudder his heart yearned for the poor unsuspecting tourist who contemplates taking his scalp in his hand by venturing into the "wilds' during the coming summer, and yearnjng he proceeded to indite the following classic to the Adjutant General of this state.
 Dear Sir:-Many of our readers who are planning transcontinental motor tours to California during the coming spring. and summer have written us asking if any pro visions have been made for patrcll- ing the isolated sections of the sev- eral western states through which the main transcontinental routes pass.
 Wishing to give an authoritative answer to such questions, I am writing to inquire if you have made any provisions for detailing state militia to guard such sections of your state, or if you know of any pending legislation for such a pur- pose or any plans made by automo- bile clubs or civic societies to patrol the highways.
 Also can you give us an idea of he most isolated sections of your state where road agents might work and where patrolling might be necessary for the protection oi motor tourists. What is the ex- tent of such sections?
 We would appreciate an imme- diate reply as this information is to be incorporaI ed in an article which is to be published at an early date
 Yours very truly

 Editor.

 Williams, Ariz.
 Dear Sir:
 Will you do me favor? I want to know if a person can get furnish ed rooms in your city for light house keeping for myself and wife as the Dr. required me to go to your state. What are the resources about your city? Please send me your city paper and oblige, -"
 The name is not for publication
 Have we furnished rooms? We certainly have and more too. We have little furnished cottages built for two that rent for just little more than the price for room. And that isn't all we have. We have live and orderly little town, with three churches, and a fine <, school, and the fine class of people that it takes to keep up such insti- tutions. We have live woman's : club, boys band, boys club, and all the other things that one might expect to look for in the most progressive little mountain city on the Plateau. Nor should we forget to add that we have the main line of the Santa Fe, that will take you straight thru from Chicago to Los Angeles or San Francisco.
 The resources of our county are Lumbering, stockraising, farming and mining. Chiefly the first three. We have a rich oasis in the Arizona desert. Instead of sage brush we have gigantic Tusayan pines.
 Right at our very doors we have scenery which the old world cannot excel. It is but a three hours ride by train to the Grand Canyon, the greatest wonder of the kind in the world, and but half days trip to Sycamore Canyon, Oak Creek, Bea- yer Creek, Cliff Dwellings, Pain ted Desert, and numberless other wond- CTS. And always there is Old Bill Williams mountain standing guard over the village below. For wonder and variety of scenery one can ask for nothing more.
 But above all for the person whom the pr. has ordered to the noun tains, we have the sunshine, the cool dry air and the Ozone that have made hale men and women out of countless numbers whose health was failing.
 There is endless entertainment
