selected because it is the largest cop

has just issued a resume OF mining
conditions in Arizona in which it is
stated that the present situation in the
state is one Of the largest employment
OF miners. the greatest pay rolls and
the heaviest output Of metals in the
history Of any mining division or the
United States.
The agricultural sections are being
drawn upon by the mining districts for
supplies as never before They are in

banks of the state are all carrying in
creased funds derived from dividends
paid by the producing companies of
the state and from the sale OF shares
on which profits have been taken dur
ing the last year OF advanced market
prices. The total wealth of all OF the
banks has been further increased by
the deposits Of many who have sold
mining properties The funds that have
been designated are 10 be found in
every community in the state for there
is no single one that does not possess
residents who have been favored by
the prosperity directly attending the
conduct of Arizona mining during the
last two years.
Adds to Building Activity.
Continuing its resume. the Arizona
chapter says that reflection of the
greater amount of available money is
found in every part OF the state. in
the conduct Of a great deal OF new
building in all Of the cities and par
ticularly in the mining towns.
Railroad extension is also a feature.
and the great benefits which will al
tend in the opening up OF much new
and rich agricultural country must be
credited directly to the mining indus

Living Embodiment of Feminine Energy That Has
Brought the for Which She StoveMenta Slouhi
Has No Part in Makeup of This Porta

CLOUCHINESS, the great national char
~ acteristic of our youth, was discovered
amid loud acclaim few days ago by a
man in a high position-Adjutant General
Henry p. Mccain. College professors and
the executives of large business houses
seized upon the discovery and drove home
the moral to the young people under them,
But a little girl lawyer, sitting today
almost lost behind the ponderous law books
on her ample mahogany desk, made the
discovery privately more than three years
ago. She looked around her with amaze
ment at young men and women endowed
with opportunities for which she yearned,
and what she saw was slouchlness.
II can get there" she said, 'if I don't
slouch."
And she did get there. Her name is
Cecilia p. Bass
On October Is she will be admitted to
the bar of Pennsylvania twenty-one-
year-old girl.
No college education was given her. She
had no money with which to support her
self while she studied and so she worked
at stenography and typewrting in a law
yers office for three years from until
every day, and every night with unfailing
regularity she studied law from Z until IL.
Nothing was allowed to interfere with the
program she had set herself. Ambition is
a great driving power, but unless 1t is yoked

ACCORDING to Professor Sherman OF
"A Columbia University, the iron OF vese-
,bles is much more readily assimiated
han the iron found in meat This explains
why the OK is able to make such an apunu-
ance Of rich, red blood from the green
grasses of the meadow.
The chlorophy Of green plants contains
iron, as does the hemoglobin OF the pioou,
but the iron in hemogobin, having peen
utnized once by an animal is not SO well
nrebared for use by another animal as Is
the iron found in the chlorophyl OF Vege-
tables and especially in the green parts OF
plants.
An experiment has recently been made
by Miss Blunt, Of the University of Chicago,
for the purpose of ascertaining to what eS-
tent iron is lost in the cooking OF vegetables
in water when the water is drained OH IN
the usual way.
In experiments with string beans, navy
beans, peas, potatoes and spinach, Miss
Blunt found that potatoes lose about one
fifth Of the total content OF lime peas ana
beans, one-thrd to one-half and Spinach
one-half
From this fact It appears that In the
cooking of vegetables steaming or baking
are culinary processes to be preferred TO
boiling.
In another series OF experiments with
spinach It was found that more than halt
of the salts, including iron, found In
spinach was lost when the vegetable was
boiled in water.

she had decided to take. There must have

Youthful though she is, she is thoroughly
alive to the catch-as-catch-cln battle

Women have a great deal of prejudice

1 realize that my youth is going to be
against me at first Somehow or other
people don't seem to realize that you can
be twenty-one and n woman and inteili-
gent at the same time"
The bar examiners, however, seemed to
have realized 1t, for the young woman, IT
has been rumored, got a very very high
average, while college men fell by the way
side.
But" Miss Bass continued, "time will
tell. 1 have a theory that a woman can't
be Just 100 per cent efficient. She must
be 1O1 per cent efficient to overcome the
handicap of conservatism. All this talk
about women succeeding because OF their
sex Is utter nonsense. You can't pull the
woman stuff in the business world, because
where dollars and cents are concerned men
will fight you tooth and nail. You must
watch and work; you can't slouch"
