The insane notion OF most people to
ape everything English has been es-
pecially manifest since war was declared.
The terms ''slacker' and ''do your bit, -
were both coined in "dear old Lunnon."

 The speaker announced the ap- pointment of three of the standing committees as follows:

 The following attaches in addition to the chief clerk Sam w. Proctor, assistant chief clerk, Oscar Zapf, and Chaplain, Rev.

Burns; stenogra- phers, Miss Martha Jones, Mrs. Bes- sic Coke, Miss Anna Mccormick, Miss Clara Johnson, Miss Millie Marks, Miss Emma Card, Miss Mary Bohannon and Charles Jarvis. .- The number of the attaches selected in each house is much smaller than other legislatures have had and mem- bers said that the list would not be Heightened. On the contrary it was stated that it might be shortened. It is understood that the appointments are temporary and may be terminated for cause. There was some effort to secure efficiency and the appointees ,were questioned as to their ability to perform the duties they. have under taken. They were told that if they should not be able to do sc they would be displaced Tn case O: a discovery of lack of capacity, the member re- sponsible for any appointment will be asked to request the resignation e.f ths appointee.
 The appointments were distributed as equitably as possible. among the counties. MT. Cureton, republican of Coconino, a member of the patronage committee was allowed to make re commendation from his county and his appointee was put in without ques- tions as to her political affiliations
 One lady could have had an appoint ment she had asked for but at the last moment she declined to take it when she was asked as to her ability to per form the work required. T cannot do it, she said land if I should take the clerkship you would soon find out that 1 could not.'

ever absorbed in any like period of peace Manufacturers and other con- sumers of copper will do well to study all the visible facts and thus equip themselves with the knowledge they will require to decide when to make purchases. Among the many things they should not overlook is the fact that high prices and excessive demand have caused the world to be scraped bare of old copper and copper bearing alloys. Thus the supplies of used cop per will be relatively smaller for sew eral years to come. Another thing to be considered is the fact that at least one or two more years of warfare is Increasingly probable, and this means that the producers are in very much more secure position than those con sumers are who have neglected to buy sufficient copper to complete their contracts on hand.

in a position to deliver during the first quarter of this year; but reports come from the outside market of sales at 2S 1-2 to 29 cents. There is very little of the metal in which to trade, and a considerable number of consumers have neglected so far to cover their requirements for the first half of this year; but while the man. ipulation goes on real buyers will hold
 aloof, hoping for an opportunity to make purchases at lower prices It is simply a repetition of a condition which developed last summer, when
 rumors of peace caused the price of copper to decline from 29 to 2S cents.
 Just as that reaction was followed
 promptly by a recovery to new high level, so this one is quite likely to be Succeeded by an abnormal price ad- vance.
 The worlds stocks of copper are as nearly exhausted as it is possible for them to be, and requirements named 1 in contracts to be executed during the coming six months probably ex- ceed the productive capacity of the
 mines for this period. If anything occurs to diminish consumptive needs however, the price of the metal will i be allowed to decline, as no one is
 endeavoring or has endeavored to
 maintain a higher price level than 20
 or 25 cents pound. Sales Of copper at 30 to 35 cents have reflected the
 inability of producers to satisfy the demand. There is no other possible 1 explanation of such extravagant
 prices.

 including electric light, power, rail.

WEBB-KENYoN LAW o. KID
 BY SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. The Webb-Kenyons law, designed to pre- vent liquor shipments from ''wet,' and dry" states, was today declared constitutional by the supreme court by vote of to 2, which also up held West Virginia's prohibition amendment prohibiting citizens from receiving liquor for personal use shipped by common carriers in in terstate commerce.
 It was announced that Justice McReynolds concurred in the deci- sion, but not completely in the opin- ion. '
 Justices Holmes and Van Deventer were the two dissenting justices.
 "The all-reaching power Of gov ernment over liquor is settled" said the chief justice in announcing the decision.
 There was no intention of con gross to forbid individual use of liquor. The purpose of the act was to cut out by the roots the practice of permitting violation of state liquor laws. We can have no doubt to prevent paralyzing of state au- thority. Congress exerted power to coordinate the national with the state authority 7
 Attorneys for national liquor or ganizations who were in court said the decision upholds and applies the Webb-Kenyon law fin it's broadest sense.

PICKETT NAMED TO CARRY
 ARIZONA S WILSON VOTES

PHOENIX. Jan. S.-Harry E. Pick cit, a Douglas attorney, will probably carry to Washington the result of Ari- zona's three electoral votes cast today in the supreme court room for Wilson and Marshall. The electors organized with Lamar Cobb as messenger and Pickett alternate. Which of the two will make the trip is to be decided by private arrangement between Pick cit and Cobb, but Pickett is expected to be the man.

"Well," said Santa Claus, az he
stroked each of his reindeer IN turn
and gave each one nice lump OF
sugar, "now we visit city next"
The reindeer made sounds which
Santa Claus knew meant, "All right.

on they started for the city. I'VE
have to go on the roofs as usual" said
Santa Claus, "but then you know there
aren't many chimneys for me to go
down, SO 1 use the fire escape. I can
always find some way Of getting to
the children"
The reindeer thought to themselves
of the days when Santa Claus first dis
covered he would have to use hre
escapes in many homes instead OF
chimneys and they remembered how
delighted he was to find that there
was always some way of reaching
chldrens hanging stockings "Are we
off to the nearest city now?" the REIN
deer asked.
No one could have understood them
but Santa Claus, but he answered,
"Yes, we'll hurry along. There is only
one Christmas eve and there are many,
many homes. OF course there Is one
nice thing-the time is different In diff
ferent places, and where some Of the
children are ready to get up In one
part of the world, the others are just
going to bed. That helps me along
splendidly"
So Santa talked on and then he
said:

The reins of the reindeer jingled as
they rushed along. Oh, how they went
And Santa Claus kept singing while
the sleighbels made the loveliest sort
of music.

very suddenly. Boston had covered

caliber.

Dinner, two hours late, was being

The talk of the diners was too desul-

tramp nuisance, one that had of late
veXed the plantations for many miles
around. The planter seized the occa-

A bright-eyed young girl who sat at
the left of the mistress leaned over
and said in confidential undertone:
II wonder, mamma, If that tramp we
passed on the road found my stocking.
And do you think he will hang it up
tonightP'
The words of the young girl were
interrupted by startling thing.
Like the wrath of some burned-out
shooting star, black streak came
crashing through the windowpane and
upon the table, where 1t shivered into
fragments a dozen pieces of crystal
and china ware.
The woman screamed in many keys,
and the men sprang to their feet.
The planter was the first to act. He
sprang to the intruding missile and
held it up to view. "It's loaded" he
announced.
AS he spoke he reversed long, black
stocking, holding it by the toe, and
down from it dropped a roundish stone
wrapped about by piece of yellowish
paper. "Now for the first interstellar
message of the century |" he cried, and,
nodding to the company. who had
crowded about him, he adjusted his
glasses with provoking deliberation
and examined it closely. When he
finished he had changed from the jolly
host to the practical, decisive man of
business. He Immediately struck q
bell and said to the silent-fOoted mu-
latto man who responded: go and tell
Mr.. Wesley to get Reeves and Maurice
and about ten stout hands they can
rely upon and, come to the hall door
at once. Tell him to have the men
arm themselves and bring plenty OF
ropes and plow lines. Tell him to
hurry" And then he read aloud from
the paper these words:
