MASS IF LIES |s SPREAD O|l ARIZONA

Less ridiculous t-an some eastern ideas of Arizona, but pitiful enough, is the notion that has struck some effete sources of information(?) re- garding the effect of the Villa Per shing squabble on this state In a letter received yesterday by Vic Han ny from Hugo C. Hauter. of Chicago representative in the southwest for one of the largest manufacturers in the country, this interesting state ment commands the attention and the disgust of Phoenicians:
 'I see by the paper that the South ern Pacific has suspended operations on it's passenger schedule between Fl Paso and Los Angeles, on account of the war, so I will probably be delayed in getting to Phoenix" Hanny took the letter to Archibald Renginald Cater. general agent of the Southern Uacific here and Cater got Chicago on the phone in rapid fire order His short. sweet conVer- sation excited the Espee forces in the big village by the lake, so much in fact. that it is quite probable some , thing will be done to curtai the mass of ill-considercd publicity given by eastern papers to incidents on the border.
 i report of cannon firing, heard at Phoenix during a battle between CarranZa and Huerta forces at Naco was spread widely in the east. This has resulted in many inquiries as
 
 here, and, no doubt, had some effect on travel through the southwest for many weeks

KENT BILL MAY GET
 PROMPT ATTENTION

That the Kent Bill, now pending in congress, which would afford relief to indigent tuberculosis sufferers. stands a good chance of passing, and that both Senator Ashurst and Cong ressman Hayden will do everything in their power to hurry it's passage through both houses, was the word received yesterday by Governor Hunt
 On March eleventh. the governor wrote to all members of the Arizona delegation asking their cooperation in aiding the passage of the bill, stating in the letter that it had his unqualified approval, and that by lending their power to it's passage they would confer a great favor on the people of Arizona. The bill pro vides for the care of indigent tuber- culosis sufferers in the Southwestern states through the cooperation of gov ernment. state, county and municipal officials
 In Senator Ashurst's reply to the governors letter. he said, T note your unqualified approval of the measure and I wish to assure you that | am very earnestly in favor of this legis- lation."
 Congressman Hayden was even more enthusiastic and said in part, T understand that the secretary of the treasury had favorably endorsed this measure and it stands a better chance to receive consideration than any of the numerous tuberculosis bills introduced. I have urged the committee on interstate and foreign commerce to favorably report this bill at an early date, and I shall be glad to work and vote for it's pas sage through the House..

A Farm Market Day

A conference will be held at Indianapolis next Monday for the purpose of discussing and inn proved methods and means of reaching the farming population with salable goods in the effective The announcement of the coming confer says that farm market day is vital the busi- of Indiana. It will be regarded sign that the of he cities and towns aroused the fact that the farm population is of the most important factors of business; that the purchasing power of the farm is immense element in all merce.
 More than this, the call indicates that the business only bent devising ways and means of increasing their sales in the rural sections but it is of the better time coming when town, city and country will become communities with munity of interest and mutual accord and fairly shared profits The dependence of the city and the country and the benefits be derived from relations and better fellowship between urban places and the farms have become and plain q modern of quick transit have brought isolated sections into easy touch with the or trade. would be still more encouraging to adyo- cates of community operation between farm and city if the approaching conference be followed by general conference of business from both city and country, to study and discuss buying and selling from both sides of the city line
 From what have learned of the intended ference we do not think it is proposed to get at the bottom of the matter-new and improved of enabling the farmer to sell what he raise for sale The farmer, not only in Indiana but everywhere else is sorely in need of market for wares than the business is in need of market for his wares The best way for the business men attain their end is to find the market for farm produce help the farmer find it and then will have more money for the purchase of those things that merchants have to sell. The farmers may find such a market by cooperation among themselves but they can find it better and more quickly if they have the co-opera ton of the merchants.

Manufactures and Agriculture

A British statesman recently claimed that events had indicated the importance of agriculture every country. He said that there why agricultural should be a manufacturing country and he asserted that it only logical for both kinds of production develop together These
 Germany has maintained a good balance between agriculture and Industries and statistics show that similar condition exists in the United States In 1909 Illinois ranked first agricultural state with value of all crops s372 OO0 ranked third a manufacturing state with production valued sl,919927 0O0 Ohio was fourth as an agr- cultural state with crops amounting $230 GOO 000 fourth also. a manufac facturng with eighth place agricultural with crops of the raue of s209. .oOO,OOO It stood first a featuring with products valued s3,369 100000 New York the foremost producer of hay, vege- tables, forage and apples
 It would be wise plan for the government to courage in every possible the establishing or nanufa turing industries in agricultural states and agriculture in manufacturing states. This would but would also tend lessen the living both by increasing the food supply and by reducing the distance which food has be carried producer consumer. This problem may properly belong sin to bring about the desired conditions.

A BRAKE FOR OCEAN LINERS

A device known the Lacose shipbrake is de- signed to be thrown out from the side of ship that is in danger of collision grounding and thus add it's resistance the efforts of the propelers to arrest progress. Capt W..S. Smith, |. S. N., notes that the question of installing such brake is financial and is dependent upon the lessened insurance de- manded and the advertisement of such appliance to increase the passenger list"
 Experiments with the apparatus were first made the U S. S. Indiana in 1910, but showed very little either for against the brake. The loss of the Titanic awakened interest in the matter, and ar engagements made with the government to con duct experiments at the Washington Navy Yard with a model. The model followed the design of the St. Louis, which is 536 feet long with displacement of about seventeen thousand tons.
 Using this model, number of runs made and valuable data obtained the model having the great advantage of affording means for accurate measurement. Various forms of brake consid cred which had the object of permitting opening and closing will with the vessel going at full speed. These all judged too extravagant of weight and power and the final conclusion reached that:
 'The simplest form of brake designed to be set in side of the vessel be released instantly by officer the bridge by throwing lever and to open by the pressure of the water without further thought to be supplied with only enough power and mechanism to haul in the brake when the vessel stopped going astern and lock it fast for future use-was the only practical solution of the question:
 It found that with pair of brakes 1173 feet wide and fourteen feet deep, at right angles to the direction of the vessel the speed would be reduced from eighteen knots to 7.15 knost two thousand feet without the help of the propellers. Magazine.

Charity acts on unemployment just as opium, morphine or cocaine acts upon the dope fiend. It gives him only temporary relief. and when that stim- ulent passes he is just as bad and even worse than he was before. The only relief, the only antidote is work.

DATES FROM EDEN

From Answers.
 The London markets and stalls are cov- cred with dates which come from the Garden of Eden.
 A palm tree yields approximately 400 pounds of fruit annually, which repre- sents an income of about GS. It takes nearly eight years to attain this state of perfection, but when once reached 1t continues for almost a century.
 Dates can be prepared in many ways, and are packed according to the country to which they are being sent. For 1n- stance, dates destined for America are hand picked, as the Americans will have no others; the Indians like them sun dried; while we like them wet" Our dates are prepared in a special manner they are piled on mating and trampled into a mass
 The date is not the only product of the palm The stem furnishes kind of tim Der, and the flores, twisted, become rope. Then, again, the buds are quite fit tc eat, and are considered by some to be a delicacy; and peasants, too poor to af- ford house, weave the fronds into mat ting, and so make quite serviceablt habitation. Crushed date-stones form food for the cattle.

Praises the AriOns

"I was at the Arion club concert F'ri- day night" said w. H. Stockham, land enjoyed every minute of 1t. The solo, ists were fine and the chorus was a revelation to me.
 'I have heard the Apollo club of Chicago repeatedly and I must say that while the Arion club has not so many members it's work compares fla vorably with that of the greater chorus.
 T am much pleased with the pro- gress of the Arions and this clubs pur- pose of good music for more people and more people for good music. l under stand large number of its members are also members of the various vol unteer church choirs of the city and I can see where the more thorough training given In this and ladies' choruses will be of benefit to the churches and Sunday schools of Bir- mingham. The cultural effect of good chorus singing is felt by both singers and hearers.
 "The people will profit by the Arion clubs work in larger measure as they give it the attention and patronage that it merits and which will enable it to grow"

spends the afternoon in recreation. Those persons who own automobiles enjoy outings in the country, but the masses disport themselves on the street cars or find diversion in attend ing the photoplay theatres.
 Birmingham has no Sunday "blue" laws and it is all the better off for that reason. The people are law abiding and contentment is the rule. But there are some who regard inno- cent entertainments, even concerts, on Sunday, no matter how educational or humanizing, as desecrations. All such persons to be consistent will practice what they preach; will keep Sunday as strictly as the Sabbath under the old dispensation was kept. But many people contend that the austere laws were to be relaxed with the advance of civilization and cite the example of Christ himself in support of that contention. At any rate the practice of Christendom has been in accordance with liberal in- depreciation of the Mosaic law con corning the Sabbath. But those who hold to stricter views will always be respected.
 All the public asks is that the will not attempt to force the authorities to place Birmingham in the blue law class. Let the spirit of neighborliness prevail, as it pre- vails in many cities, accepted as models of sobriety and good order.

should strive to bring about cordial relations and unity of purpose in all that relates to the social and com mercial welfare of this entire com- munity.
 The city commission made dis tinct advance along get-together lines when it decided to hold sessions from time to time in the populous outlying sections of Greater Birmingham. It's first session outside of the city hall was held at Ensley several weeks ago and it's second suburban session was held at East Lake Friday night. Such meetings are sure to bring about re- suits of far-reaching benefit. The commissioners will not only come to understand the needs of the suburbs by this closer contact with the peo- pie but the people themselves Will find their attachment to this great and growing city strengthened and more vital.
 Birmingham has made phenomenal progress in many ways. It's popula- tion has increased rapidly and it's business interests have expanded steadily, but with it's splendid oppor- tunities even greater progress should | be recorded within the next few years than in the past.
 This should be year of exception al progress and it will be if the CO operative movement proposed by the city authorities and the civic organl, cations is given at all times practlca direction and receives enthusiastic support. Let there be no Tagging.

A Tardy Admission

According to recent dispatch from London, Under War Secretary Tennant admitted in the House of Commons that ammunition and stores worth between S1 ,250,OOO and $2,5O0,- 900 were abandoned when the allied troops were withdrawn from Gallipoli peninsula. He explained that the pri- mary object of the evacuation was to save as many lives as possible and did not doubt that more of the stores could have been saved by the sacrifice of troops. He also expressed his belief that the British public would appre. ciate the fact that the troops were taken away without disaster and in dorse the abandonment of stores.
 At the time of the evacuation it was claimed by the British government that practically everything of value
