 If ever there has been a time when .he Phoenix people should be proud of ,heir high school boys it was Friday night during the terrible disaster, the burning of St. Josephs hospital. It seems that when the fire started, many of the boys were out on the track practicing baseball and others taking military drill. They saw the smoke gathering and immediately rushed over to see what the cause of it was. They rushed straight into the burning hospital and rescued all of the helpless patients and took them to some nearby place long before the flames were extinguished. And after the patients were all rescued they per sisted in entering the building, bring Ing out whatever piece of furniture they could. A few of the boys were slightly injured, but the results have not proven serious A large debt is Jwed to these boys, for without their help many would probably never have gotten out of the building without being injured.

LIVING HIGH
 IN HOLLAND

THE HAGUE. Netherlands, Aug. II The enormous rise in the cost ot living in neutral Holland is clear Iy reflected in figures just published by the official statistical bureau, which show that the retail prices of 29 articles of common use have risen from the relative figure of 1l4 in 1913 to l92 in April, 1917 taking the standard of loo as representing the prices ruling for such commodi- ties in the year 1893 The figures ap- pear the more remarkable when it is remembered that the Netherlands is largely an agricultural country
 As result of the shortage and dearness of coal the relative figure representing the average prices of coke in eight municipal gasworks of large cities rose from 95.5S in 1914 Naking the year 1913 as the 100 standard) 10 205.52 in April last. A strict coal and coke rationing system has now been established throughout the country. Moreover. the restricted and more expensive coal supplies have led to drastic limitation of Hollands railroad services and the raising of fares and freight rates
 Despite economies, various branch es of industry are being seriously hampered by lack of fuel. This fac tor coupled with a shortage of raw materials, has led to substantial reduction of working hours in the textile industry, for instance, and. indeed to the closing of d number of factories and resultant unemploy- ment If the war continues, the fuel outlook for Holland in the coming winter is by no means a bright one.

KING VISITS
 SHIP YARDS

Associated Press spOndence)
 LONDON, Aug.-One of the most interesting of the series of tours which the king and queen are mak ing to industrial centers in Great Britain was their visit to the River Tee, where ship building of all kinds is being pushed forward at a ire mendous pace.
 In the first ship yard which the royal visitors reached, some work men in the iron foundry had hit upon a novel welcome. As the king entered the yard, stream of molten metal was poured out of the furnace into a mould that built up the words "A warm welcome to the king and queen
 In one town where thousands of boy and girl workers are employed there was special children's day for the entertainment of royalty. Children in thousands lined the streets, and waved their flags as the king and queen passed Other chil- dren ran alongside the royal car riage or accompanied the visitors through the engine rooms and join CTS shops and plate mills, jostling each other and waving their dlapi- dated caps in enthusiastic disregard of court etiquette in the very faces of the king and queen.
 There was something very impress sive in the wave on wave of smoke begrimed children who participated in the welcoming Many of them. clad in cut down suits of their fathers ovenlls, were not over twelve or thirteen years old, but they were war workers, and full time workers at that, mostly draw ing virtually mems wages.
 The royal party later saw large number of German prisoners at work on the slag heaps, and had the flattering experience of being cheered by their foe The king was in- formed by the officer in charge that the prisoners had proved admirable workmen and were we'll behaved and industrious.
