REST ROOM FOR
WOMEN IS BOON

Guide posts stationed throughout the
city and country, placards in the down.
town shops, publicity through the daily
press, these are the measures advO-
Gated by Mrs. II. \. Guild in placing
the municipal rest room in the public
eye.
Mrs. Guild is the mother Of the rest
room. 1t was built and furnished by
the city through the efforts OF Mrs.
Guild who succeeded in Interesting
club women in the matter. 1t was by
the concerted action of these women
that the project was finally launched.
on the average, 1000 women visit
the rest room during the course Of a
month. That as many more may en-
joy its privileges, is The wish OF Mrs.
Guild, who believes that a necessary
step in this direction is to make known
| the location of the rest room.
Il believe that SulGe posts giving the
location at Second and jefferson streets
would be a boon to women who have
not yet discovered the haven OF com
fort" SIZE said. Then, too, tourists
are constantly arriving n the city TO
| whom it would mean a great deal,
while, in turn, the advertising the city
/ would receive by this means is not to
he ignored
Il can not tell you how many country
women have enjoyed Its advantages,
! continued Mrs. Guild. Tired and dis
heveled from their journey in.o town,
il is relief to have some place to go
in which they can b.usn up; a place
where the rural shopper can leave her
baby eat her luncheon and have her
parcels delivered"
Mrs Guild spoke OF the efficient
manner in which the rest room was
being conducted by the marion. Mrs. A.
II. Abbot who has been in charge since
it's completion last July. Al present
the visitors are enjoying a splendid
collection of colored prototypes of the
great paintings which are being eX-
hibited there by Miss lnez Abbott, who
, also exhibited at the Woman's club
two years ago.
Mrs. Abbot has also made it possible
for a young woman to display d COM
plete exhibit of filet crochet she has
for sale.
In the last few weeks ne rest room
maintained by the city for town and
country women has .a0en on many
new attractions from the gifts it has
received The homelike appearance
has increased by the pretty and useful
ornaments in the reading room and i
most acceptable concr:0utiOn has been
the literature. Mrs. Abbot seems to
have given the place the restful atmos-
phere so essential in venture of this
kind.

NEW YORK HAS
TRAINING LAW

For the first time in all history, Il
statewide plan of physical education
for all the schools in New York has
been made possible through the enact
ment of a law crea-ed 10y the New
York legislature. This legislation is a
by-product of the European war.
The one great thing that stands out
in the European war is not how well a
nan can shoot or how well he can
throw grenades. but how much he can
stand physically in the trenches. the
European war is a physical stamina
war.
The commission appointed by the
legislature have three duties 10 per
form: First. TO plan physical educ; iiUa
for allthe boys and girls eight years Of
age and upwards in all the schools in
New York state There are 10000 such
schools and 10000 OF these are rural
schools The law requires a minimum
of twenty minutes exercise ever day Tor
each pupil
In the second place the commission
must plan a course Of military training
not TO exceed three hours a week. Tor
all BOYS Is to 10 years Of age. Third
it must hold summer military training
camps for boys of hat age, each u
voluntarily attend not less than two
weeks. nor more than four weeks.
The commission is composed OF three
men: General John ,. Oityan, Com
manding Officer OF the New YORK Ma
tional guard: DIT. John II. Finley,
president of New York University. and
DR. George J. Fisher of the Interna-
tional committee of the Y. NJ. G. A.. APP
pointed by the governor.
The commission has recommended
the following physical education pro-
gram:
l. The medical and physical inspec-
ton of each pupil at least twice year
?. Two talks on health and hygiene
each week.
g. Two to five minute calisthenic
exercises preceding zach class period
during the day.
1. one hourOf supervised play daily
). Two 30-minute - mnasIum perl
DDS twice weely for All pupils in the
fifth grade and upwards
The commission has appointed a
state inspector Of physical training and
three assistant physical inspectors and
will appoint three others in addition
to those already -amed. II is also
recommended that a physical director
be placed III each h!gn school OF the
state of which there are 600.
The state pays 100000 on each phys
ical directory while the local board of
education pays the est of the salary.
A big shortage on physical directors
has already been experienced

collected slowly and with much difficulty. 1t is
important that the data yet needed be gathered
while it may be done with comparative ease, for in
a few years it would have to be gathered out of
murky past
The discussion of the items in the sections of
af the appropriation bill relating to the historians
office developed opposition evidence of mig
gardliness but rather misunderstanding of the work
Some complaint made that the first four volumes
have sold rapidly might have been expected
1t is held in mind that these four volumes are
parts of uncompleted and it may be expected
that the completed history will be by heavy
demand from both within and without the state

8. D. { A. WORK
WILL Be RUSHED.

San Francisco contractors who are
engaged in completing the link of the
San Diego x Arizona railway have, at
this time, two building camps at which
several carloads of machinery and i'm
plements are being unloaded. They will
have force of 800 men at work soon.
The road is to be completed by early
summer and in full operation with
transcontinental freight by New Years
day, 1918.
Here are a few pertinent facts re-
garding this line affording a direct
eastern outlet for the San Diego bay
region connecting as it does with the
Southern Pacific main line in the I'M
perial valley.
From Seeey to San Diego is a dis
lance of 1896 miles, of which $3.50
miles are completed. This line will
shorten the distance from Chicago to
the Pacific coast by l40 miles and Will
have the lowest grade of any line en-
tering California or any other Pacific
coast state from the east. OF almost
equal Importance is the fact chat this
route is absolutely free from the men,

The County Classification Bill

The county classification bill introduced by SEN
ator Matox least does not offer those facilities for
special legislation provided by the old classification
law which was aside by the supreme court
Though county salaries provided in the new Dill
are fairly well adjusted to basis of classification
they will probably be modified to meet local condl-
lions in the various An effort has in fact
been made in the bill varying conditions by
provisions empowering boards of supervisors to au-
thorize the employment of such assistants may
be needed.
In one county Maricopa for instance, the work
in some offices may be greater in volume than in
corresponding office in any other county of the same
class That is especially true with respect to the Of
fees of recorder and asses The volume in those
offices is greater than in the corresponding offices
Of the first-cass county of Cochse. So under the
bill though proposed salaries of those officials

ing offices of Cochise nty. deputies would
naturally be allowed those offices in Marcopa coun-

upon county salary arrangement under this bill.
There must in fact be such agreement or else
we must have another law allowing the boards Of
supervisors county the salaries that
county that is hardly thnkable
There have been schools of thought in not
only this legislature but also in early ones with re-
gard to local legislation Under the old exploded
classification system, thought that if a member
wanted something for his county which would affect
no other county he should be allowed to have it.
Other members have thought that the legislature
should take action at all with respect to matters
affecting single county and of course, that would
