This first book was reprint Of Pom

city in 1862 under the direction Of Ell
ling Eielson, pioneer Norwegian
evangelist and the first Norwegian Lu
theran minister to be ordained In
America.
For some time 1t was uncertain as Il
which was the first Norwegian bool
printed In this country. Some years
ago, however, Prof. Rasmus B. Ander
son, former United States minister tt
Denmark, came across a reference
made by Eielson to book printed by
him In the early 40's and concluded
that such publication was entitled tt
the credit of priority.
Recently Skavlem had occasion te
visit an aged woman In Beloit and saw
lying on the center table in her home
a copy of the much-desired book which
had been handed down in her family
and carefully preserved.

WHAT JOHN BROWN SAYS
 0F THE REV. H. B. DElAYE

John F.. Brown, who conducted the union evangelical campaign in Phoe- nix last March, says concerning De- Laye and Pfaffenberger, who are to tegin revival meetings at the First Methodist Episcopal church today:
 "Evangelists DeLaye and Pfaffen- berger are not an experiment. Through many campaigns and often under the most trying circumstances these men have demonstrated their fitness for the field. From every source-from pulpit and press-there has come constant flow of cOngrdt ulatory and cOmmendatory material. In planning this advance announce ment for the field. we find it difficult to know what matter to choose and what to omit These men have filled several engagements for us-union engagements-and every engagement has resulted in far-reaching results, and in heartiest thanks from the pas tors for securing such reliable and efficient help. The success of these men has been uniform. The fields in which these men have labored are calling for their return. DeLaye is in d class all to himself. He isn't sen Sational. shuns the appearance of vulgarity, and has no hobbies. He is clean, intellectual. aggressive and a constant mine of happy surprises. He draws men, hold men and wins men. Withal, and most important still. Ee knows God.
 MT. Pfaffenberger is a happy sec -ond to DeLaye. They fit each other and together they fit the field. Pfaf- fenberger knows how to sing ane, knows how to get others to sing. He is d gentleman of the first water, and impresses people at once with his clearness and consecration.
 These men are destined for the top They have the gifth for lead- ership in things religious, and their

and his opponent, MT Thrift. F.
 The election was held at the Hur- ley residence. and only q few mem- bers from the immediate vicinity voted.
 The importance of the Mcdowell road was never better shown than during the rain storms of the last few days. Practically all of the traf- fife from the northwest and all the Mesa and Tempe traffic was diverted over the Mcdowell road. Attention was forcibly called to the poor con dition of the three blocks next to Central avenue. when an average fl ten cars a day were stuck in that unpaved stretch after the mud had begun to dry up q bit The rest of the Mcdowell road has been well cared for by the district and by the city. Pavement and oiled road stretches make it one of the two roads in the county that are passa be in wet weather
 The last half mile, however, is within Road District No, l, and that district has concentrated it's attention on the Central avenue boulevard to the exclusion of all feeders

One Garford truck-all that was left in stock here, when the Hunts man Hotchkiss Overland company sold it's consignment to New York agent for use in the European war, has now been sold and destined for the border of still another war. Ed ward R. Folsom, a custom house broker at Naco, Arizona, is the pur- chaser of the big two ton truck.
 Before allowing it to be nailed into a freight car, Manager E. B. Hutch ins of the local overland branch, took the truck out on the streets and made it a part of the Prosperity Parade, where it was viewed by the big crowds of Phoenicians. who lined the sidewalks
 That truck is going to mighty dangerous country" remarked Hutch. know that it will stand any amount Of hard work on the roads in Co., chise and Sonora. but you never heard of 'em building truck that couldn't be blown to smithereens by a bomb or swiped by a foray party of the opposing faction.

Relative Positions of Partner in Bal
 Room Dancing

CLOSED POSITION-That in which the individuals face on another with shoulders parallel. The man holds the ladys right hand in his left, and his right arm is around her waist
 NOTE-The mans left and the lady's right arms may be held either straight out on line with the should CTS, or bent at the elbows and held high above the heads in the manner which has become popular with the introduction of the Tango and Max ike" For dances other than the Brazilian variety the author recom- mends the straight arm as being in better taste.
 SIDE POSITION-That at which the Partners .still face to face and holding as before. are placed one by the side of the other.
 OPEN POSITION-That in which the partners are side by side; but both facing the same way.
 CLOSED STEPS-Are those eyecut = ed in a Closed Position

Having passed through the varied stages necessary to it's growth, ball room dancing is probably in it's very best form now.
 The writer has seen just as good dancers in Phoenix as in the large cities of the east, but thelr style that which immediately followed the punishment of the Turkey Trot,'-is as obsolete as the Dodo.
 The dances of Today are simpler and in better taste They are as easily learned as the Two Step" and the Waltz" Familiarity with them will add greatly to the enjoyment of dancing and open up unlimited possi- bilities in what is not the least; but one of the greatest of arts.
 To staDdardize the dences in a com munity of this size would be an easy matter, and to set a standard in Phoe- nix would be to set q standard for the whole state.
 In offering these lessons the author makes no claim to infallibility He has tried to embody in them the true character of each of the dances as determined by Time,-the only Su- simply and accurately as he is able, the steps and variations which pre- vailing Fashion has ordained.

GERMAN PLAN
 0F CAMPAIGN
Evolved Three Years Ago and Contemplated a Turk ish Menace Against Brit ish Possessions in Egypt and the East

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 2-Dr Rohr- back, one of the Berlin professors. wrote as far back as 1911, in d book entitled The Bagdad Railway published ln Berlin at the time men tloned-"One factor will determine the possibility ot Germany emerging victorious from a war with England, aud that is, whether we shall sue cced or fail in placing England n q Eeiilious position. A direct invasion ot England across the Nerth sea is altogether out of the question; the project of q German attack on Eng fish soil is a fantastic dream. It is incumbent upon us to devise q meaus Of striking England in a vulnerable point and in our quest for such a means we reach q sphere of action in which the relations between Ger many and Turkey and the position of Turkey herself become supremacy important to German foreign policy There is only one place where Eng land can be attacked and mortally wounded and that is Egypt
 The loss Of Egypt would imply for England not only the end of her dominion over the Suez Canal and of her associations with India and the Far East, but would probably also signify the loss of her posses sions in Central and East Africa. The conquest of Egypt by a Mos lem power. such as Turkey, would, moreover, ieopardize England's dom ination over her sixty million Ma hometan subjects in India, and would also be detrimental to Eng lands relations with Afghanistan and Persia. Turkey, however, can not dream of reacquiring Egypt un- til and unless she becomes mistress of a rich net of railways in Asia Minor and in Syria. and until. with the progress of the railway at Bag dad, she finds herself in position to resist an attack of England from the direction of Mesopotamia.
 The Turkish army must be in- creased and improved, and Turkey must strengthen her economic and commercial position. The stronger Turkey becomes the graver will be the danger that she will constitute for England The policy in Turkey which is being so eagerly pursued by Germany at the present time has no other object than to secure for our selves the support and co-operation of the Ottoman Empire in face of the existing danger of a war with England"

 The vote was light, due probably to the state of the weather and the fact that there was no competition for the offices. Among those who re- ceived scattering votes were Gordon Tweed and Colonel Lamson, the re-

an angle of 45 degrees the classic Ballet prescrihes an agle of 90 de- grees.
 SECOND POSITION Separate the feet by sliding the right foot to the side
 THIRD POSITION-Draw the heel of the right foot in front until ii touches the instep of the left
 FOURTH POSITION - Slide the right foot forward at right angles to the left foot
 FIFTH POSITION-Draw the right foot back until the heel touches the toe of the left foot.
 All dance steps are built upon these five positions and only the movement that can be recOnciled to one or other of them is above criti- cism. As an illustration the student is asked to consider the dancing posi- tion which applies to walking. Each of the new dances has it's walking step, which should always be executed in the Fourth Position. Ninety per cent of the dancers one sees in q ball room 'waddle" along with their feet in an exaggerated Second Posi- tion.
 Either written or verbal descrip- tions of the dances can only be made explicit by use of the accepted desiG nation. They apply as much to the One Step" as to the most intricate "enchainment' of a Pavlowa. Con- stant reference will be made to them in the rnurSe of these lessons
