ARIZONA NOW CARES
 FOR ITS BABY BLIND

If you have a blind baby, or you know of one in this state, you will be interested to learn that Arizona gives special care, maintenance and educa- tion to it's blind, from the day of blind ness.
 In 1912 Governor Hunt signed a blll introduced by Representative Whipple, giving the State Board of Education power to provide for the state blind babies in any institution equipped for their care. The first child to be ap- pointed was a baby from Phoenix. It was sent to the Arthur Home for Blind Babies, Summit, N. J., tuition and transportation of the child being paid for by the state.
 A report just received relative to the progress of the little Arizonan, as she is affectionately called in the school, states that she is we'll and walking, can go around her crib by holding on, and it will not be long until she can step out into the dark alone.
 Arizona is normal in every way but in eyesight. She is very pretty but totally blind. She can remain in this institution which is a home, nursery, hospital and kindergarten combined, until she is able to graduate to some state school for the higher education of the blind. All the blind babies of the state are entitled to this care.
 Therefore, it is the duty of anyone knowing of a blind baby, to acquaint the parents of the fact that if they with State Superinten- dent of Public Instruction, c. o. Case, of Phoenix, Arizona, provision will be made for its special care and educa- tion. Arizona is one of 13 states that provide for their baby blind.

SAVAGE" GO OVER
 HE TOP K AUTO RUN

Seventy miles through virgin for ests, climb of 5000 feet in five miles, over razor-edge boulders, through mountain washes, acrpss saw-tooth ridges, on primitive roads covered with shales and small stones. with wheels spinning almost continuously for lack ot traction from San Diego to the rim of Zion canyon, Utah, then back to Los Angeles, that is the record of the DOrt Globe Trotter, equipped with four Savage Grip Tread Tires. The tires were worn down to the fabric and the threads were cut to ribbons but the Savage stood the gaff and reach ed Los Angeles on the return trip with the original air in them.
 The performance of the Dort car in making this strenuous trip without serious trouble is remarkable; so re- markable in fact that after the car completed the trip it was placed on exhibition at the Los Angeles auto show and motion pictures made on the trip are now being shown in all of the principal California theaters.

NATION IS RUSHING
 WORK ON WARSHIPS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Nearly 55,000 appointments were made to the forces of mechanics, helpers, and la- borers at navy yards and other naval 1 establishments during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1917, and since that date appointments have been made in increased proportion.
 An appropriation of $7,5O0,OOO is now being expended in the enlarge ment of the great naval gun factory at Washington, which, when complet- ed, will furnish employment for 4OO0 or more skilled mechanics, in addition to the 5000 already at work in the plant. In this mammoth factory, one of the best equipped and most interest ing in the world, are built the great
 1ns for our war vessels, which carr to every country the message of Americas ability to protect herself and to safeguard the rights of her cit izens wherever they may be.
 The new naval aircraft factory at Philadelphia, which will be completed this month, will also employ about 5000 men.
 The workers who man such plants are of 2 superior class, and they feel a personal pride in turning out prod ucts that will stand the test of con- fict with the arms of other nations. A considerable part of tine building of. war vessels is also done in govern ment yards.
 The United States Civil Service commission, which is charged with the task of recruiting the ranks of this great civilian army, through its widespread organization is furnishing the men as theu are needed In car.

sOLDIERS, SUPERSTITIONS

(New York World:) Soldiers have superstitution that wearing the clothing or equipment of a fallen sol dier will cause the death of the weaIer. This superstitution does not extend to the belongings of a foe.
 It is considered unlucIy to meet a crosseyed woman on the way to ac- tive service. Some soldiers firmly believe that in such a case they are almost certain never to return. Meeting a crosseyed man, however, is believed to have the opposite effect and to bring good luck.
 It is considered unlucIxy for a sol dier who is lying awake before bugle has sounded reveille to hear a dog bark. He is certain to meet with some mishap befOre the day is over, accord ing to those who believe in signs" On the ether hand, if the sound heard should be the growing of a rooster, the soldier is nightly pleased. All will be well with him that day.
 There are many superstitions con- nected with the canteen. It is con- sidered unlucky to refuse to drink with a stranger or to have a drink cheaper than that of the person who plays host. It is also unlucky to leave any of the drink in the glass or to finish off one drink without wishing for the next one. It is un- lucky to sing, whistle or hum the tuna Of Q hymn in the canteen, and |. IS very Unlucky to whistle or hum anywhere the tune of the we'll known dead march in Saul"
 One of the approximations of the English Tommy" born in the pres ent great war, is that of lighting three cigarettes with one match. To do so. the soldiers say, means the speedy death Of one, fl not all three of tbe group.
 There are many explanations of tnls superstition. Probably the most plausible is that of it's being symbolic Of the three candles placed at the cof- in Of the dead. Because it has been the custom to place two at the head of the coffin, and one at the foot. it has long been considered in England a bad omen to have three lights burning in room. It is considered a "sign" that death IS soon to occur.

The New Tennessee is looking fine at the new cross-cut being driven ct a depth of 300 feet, showing consid- cradle lead and zinc interspersed with Q heavy iron sulphide. From the slight development work already had 1t appears that an extensive ore shoot lies to the south of the present cross cut. Drifting is continuinc on th
 vein and has reached a distance of 50 feet from the shaft. Both drl4. and cross-cut are looking very good. The crOss-cut so far shows vein mat ter for 20 feet with neither wall in sight. It is probable that sinking will be resumed in the immediate future.
