wealthy resident of Tucson is dead,

Mrs. Bates was mortally wounded,
and died before she could be taken to
the park for emergency treatment. A
woman who gave the name of Mrs.
Williams was found at the park, and
she declared she had been robbed of
$4,000 worth of jewelry. She is held
at the county Jail.
The only statement by the officers
was that they had fired toward the

Mrs. James S. Bates, in connection
with which two deputies and one pa
trolman are held It is understood
that Forbes declined Recall peti-
tions were placed in circulation by
the committee of citizens named for
that purpose. The grounds stated in
the petition are as follows:
Within year we have had three
murders in Pima county, all emanat-
ing from the sheriff's office. and two
deputies have been sent to the peni-
tentiary. Instead of protection, two
of our citizens have been hung in
cold blood; a wife and mother has

MUST TAKE TIME TO RESI-
Development Of Beauty Depends a
Great Deal on That and on Ones
Environment.

1t cannot be impressed upon us too
often that harmony of surroundings
is absolutely necessary to the devel-
opment of beauty. 1t depends on the
soul quality for it's inspiration and
growth. The soul quality dies unless
nurtured by such surroundings as are
pleasing.
Each personality must choose the col
ors and shades that are most soothing.
Every woman cannot have her home
decorated just as she wishes. But ev-
cry woman can have some one corner
that is her own that is decorated in
the colors and with the things (they
may be very simple and ,inexpensive)
that appeal to her. When she is tired
let her go to this corner and find rest
there, reading her favorite authors,
looking at her favorite pictures. sew
ing, crocheting or sitting and thinking.
If it is impossible for such corner
to be had, surely there is some spot
of the town or city, some library, mu-
scum, church, park, some place where
she can find rest in the picture that
surrounds her.
Luxury, when you think Of it, is not
of necessity attractive. So often it is
in bad taste that the joy comes often
in being able not to have to indulge
in it.
Most women are much more attrac-
tive at home. This is because in the
setting of the things they love, which
are part of their personalities, they
are in repose. The woman who Is
beautiful under the glare Of the sun
in all sorts of places is indeed fortu'
nate!

that forced him to change his mind

lowed by Mr.. Hughes adoption Of
the main principle OF the pro-GermaA
propaganda.
The indisputable fact is that the
views which Mr.. Hughes honestly be-
lieves are, on q crucial point, the
views Of that propaganda. The fact
Is that he did not express these views
until after Mr.. Roosevelt had fright
ened the pro-German vote. The fact
is that Mr.. Hughes has never unmis-
takably repudiated the activity Of the
