Are you in favor of the enforce mont of the prohibition amendment?' asked County Attorney Clyde NJ. Gan dy in the course of his examination of veniremen for the trial of R. H. Fuqua and R. A. Higgins, charged with violating the amendment.
 The county attorney had scarcely passed his witness before Judge A. c. Baker for the depense, propounded question after question, relative to parties and prejudices.
 Do you belong to the prohibition party2' he asked.
 No; I vote democratic,7 was the answer.
 Do you belong to any prohibition society? Have you signed any peti- tions? How do you stand on the pro- hibition law"
 Questions followed in rapid success sion, and finally C. T. Hirst was quer- jed by Judge Baker.
 Have you any peculiar mental lean- ings toward the law or do you put it on the same footing as any other law?'
 'I would" said MT Hirst
 He recalled MT. Hirst's active part in the passage of the amendment
 Would you like to be tried by a person in the same frame of mind that you are?'

 When former Mayor George U. Yourp several months ago attempted to interest members of the city com mission and citizens generally in the workings of the St Paul plan of financing" the opinion was freely expressed that it was the plan of a dreamer and not feasible. Yesterday che city commission took official cog nizanc" of the plan when F. John- son addressed that body in the in- terest of establishing such q system here. Commissioner Richey and others of the commission said that they knew the plan had worked out successfully iE St Paul Before go- ing into the matter deeply Mir. John. son was advised to consult with the city attorney and learn whether there are charter or state constitution pro- visions which would prevent the adoption cf such a plan in Phoenix. If not, it was announced that the commission would gladly give MT. Johnson full opportunity to be heard arl would also consider fully the working of the plan.
 Under tho emergency clause, an or iinance was adopted requiring auto husses, auto carriages and auto stages to take out insurance in sums of not less than s5000 for one ma chine and not less than s2500 on each machine. where two or more ma chimes are operated, before a permit is issued.
 Commissioner MacBean wanted steps taken to cover or pipe the ir- rigatior lateral along Fifteenth ave- nuc from Adams to Madison street. No action wf,s taken pending dis position of the proposed removal Of tho town ditch by the way of the Maricopa canal.
 Attorney Jamison appeared in be- half of prorerty owners in the vicin- ity of Eighteenth and Olive avenues. protesting against the tapping of a water mair laid by private enterprise. He said taps had been made by the city without reimbursing his clients and thereby nateriallp injuring the water supply of all concerned. I. C.. Reed also asked consideration, of his application for reimbursement for a private water main laid at his ex- pcnse and now used by several con sumcrs after having been tapped by the city. These matters will likely be brought up again at the meeting tomcrroW morning.

CHILD SAVED FROM
 WHEELS IF STREET
 CAR BY YOUNG MAN
At Risk of Life, and by Sacrifice of Own Skin, Kenneth Kennedy
 Makes Thrilling Rescue

Kenneth Kennedy. a clerk in the state land office, narrowly escaped death yesterday morning, when he made a desperate and successful ef- fort to save the two -year-old baby of Francisco Pinta of. North Third street, from the wheels of a street ear.
 According to eye witnesses, Ken nedy's act was as nervy and heroic as anything that has happened in Phoenix in a long time He literally forgot that his own life was in dan ger, sprung from his seat in the front of the car, swung out from the run ming board, forcef the fender to the ground, scooped up the baby, and then rolled off the running board to be dragged for a distance of fifty feet before the car could be stopped.
 The car running on the Indian school line, was boarded by Kennedy at eight o'clock at Culver street. He took seat in the front of the car at the right side of the motorman. The car was not equipped with air brakes and was very hard to stop. As soon INFllhthg HtlN tiif NAAAlbf llf SiApuAtb to the motorman who fTantically ap- piled his brake Kennedy quickly saw that the car was not going to stop ir time, and made his dash for the fen der. The child was sitting in the center of the tracks, with her bach to the car, and was entirely unaware that it was approaching.
 As soon as the car could be stop ped, the child was picked from the fender and outside of a few bruises was none the worse for her expert ence. Kennedy was not so fortunate When he fell. the end of the running board hit him so hard, that it severe ly bruised and crushed him about the body. He received several bruises and cuts on the head, and his left foot was badly jammed.

 Mrs. Ed Shaw, regent of Maricopa Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution has word or two to say to the little folk who she believes will cooperate with the Daughters in raising a fund to send fresh produce to the soldiers on the border.
 "All children who intend contributing to the $200 fund are requested to be supplied with a clean sheet of paper on which the name and address is writ ten clearly in ink and to ask the per son in charge of receipts to count the contributions as they are turned in and credit the amount under the name. Don't fail to do this" said Mrs. Shaw, in Outglining the plan yesterday.
 There is any number of things just Throwing around" the average place. that can be converted into cash. that will go a long way toward paying the freight on a car of produce The pen nies in mothers button box, in Mari copa county would alone do that if we could get hold of some one like the Pied Piper of Hamelin to make them come forth to the sound of his flute, or if, like that same Pied Piper, whom all children love to hear about, some one | could make them hear the music of q sudden call for their services.

ALLER SEEKS
 APPROVAL OF
 NEW CONTRACT

Promising that if tho city commits sion will approve. or at least not op- pose, the execution of an amended contract between the Pacific Gas <, Electric company and the reclama- ton service. expiring October 1. 1916 the date of expiration of the present exclusive contract, and giving the company the opportunity to save S23,000 annually, q cut in local rates cffSctins a saving of $500 annually to the consumers will be made. Man agcr NJ. l.. Aller of the Pacific Gas & Electric company went before the city fathers yesterday with the draft of a tentative letter to the reclama tion service to be signed by the mayor. This proposed letter sets forth in detail just what reductions the Pacific Gas & Electric company will make in the event of the execu- ton of the proposed amended con tract.
 In presenting his arguments in be half of the proposition. Manager Aller stated that his company had been striving for seine time to bring about a reduction of raes to the consumer. He pointed out substantial reductions that he said had been made in the past six or eight years. Now that tic reclamation service is willing as he believes. to permit an amendment of the present contract, he is anxious that tho city release the Pacific Gas x Electric company from it's promise not to enter into any new contract until an election has been held in the matter of the issuance of bonds for a proposed municipal electric light ard gas plant He observed that in asmueh as the proposed amended contract would run no longer thar the present exclusive contract, r. couid hardly have any bearing on the municipal plant situation. On the other hand. it would suffice to show the gooG faith of the company in :ts efforts to bring about a fur ther reduction of the present rates to the consumer.
 Cues toned closely, MT. Aller did not deny that he believed that if it is possible for the company to mate rially reduce the present rates, it will have the effect of satisfying many consumers who think now the only relief from high rates lies in the erection of municipal plant. He said he believed it was not a question so much of a municipal plant as of cheaper service If the P. q. & F. company can give that cheaper ser vice he believed thac the citizens would feel. generally, that an end had been attained and that without going to the expense of municipal election or of issuing bonds fo- the erection of plant estimated to cost over $S00.000 and wkich. he said, would actually cost considerably over s1 900, ,000
 The commission wanted some timc to consider the proposition. The majority of the members evidenced disposition to believe there could be no harm in permitting the execution of such m amended contract as that proposed, and the city attorney bore them out However it was decided to meet again Friday morning at 10 o'clock. at wnich time definite de- cision will he made as to the course to be pursued
 Previously. MT Aller had presented petition, amounting substantially to protest, against definite action III the matter of municipal electric

Mr.. Hughes, on the otherhand, while

editors, was responsible for this un-
usual enterprise, getting out the
edition on his own initiative, organ
izing his forces hurriedly and max

journalism. A man who knows how
to use his head in emergencies is the
one who gets the honors, and Mr..

RestOlDing Praises

No man is Indifferent to timely
bit of praise or appreciation.
We should cultivate the habit of
bestowing praise where it is war
ranted.
At the same time, few men do pub
lie deeds with the thought of hav-
ing some one praise the act. An I'M
selfish attitude in all public service
is the only one.
The majority of us take too much
for granted, hence we neglect many
little opportunities of doing good by
Withholding the sympathetic word.
Our best friends like to hear a
pleasant, complimentary word at
times.
If your wife does something worthy;
if she tides up the house, or makes
fine pie, tell her of it. 1t is adorable
to her heart.
If your husband shows by his in
terest that he is trying to do the
proper thing, let him know you are
watching him. It will fill him with
renewed enthusiasm.
Encouraging words are the magic
balm for human achievement. They
make the machinery of life run
smoother.
Just a show of appreciation spins a
silver cord or golden thread in
somebody's life.

Those of us who consistently sup
