C0MF F0RTS WORK
 FUR SAILORS |S
 STARTING HERE
Branch of Navy League to- Be Established in City Which will Work to Make Men of Navy Comfortable

l With the preliminary work accom- plished by Mrs. Kate Millett, word i has been received from Washington i authorizing the establishment of the
 Phoenix unit of the Navy League. ! While there are many differen;
 branches of work in connection with
 the Navy League the local organiZa . l ton will confine it's efforts entirely to 1 the comforts committee and appeal
 will be made to all the women of the valley to cooperate in knitting for
 Uncle Sam's sailor boys. It is under | stood that a request will be made to
 have the knitted articles from this
 state sent to the crew of the battle ! ship Arizona.
 Mrs. Millett, Mrs. Dwight B. 1 Heard and Mrs Walter Talbot have been named the committee in charge | of the local unit.
 The program of the Navy League is
 as follows:
 | To aid in recruiting for the navy and marine corps.
 i To assist in procuring enrollments i in the naval reserve and marine corps 1 reserve
 To furnish needed articles of cloth l ing, equipment and comfort stores re-
 quired by the exigencies of the ser ! vice anu at lIllS llfIle IlOl Dy 1 the government.
 1 To provide certain rest stations and
 recreation grounds desired by the
 navy, and to render any other prac- 1 ticable service on request of the de- l partment or the officers or men of the
 navy or marine corps.
 Of all the above, the only work to | be attempted at present by The | Phoenix Section of the Navy League
 of the United States" is that of the 1 comfort committed
 European experience shows that while the government clothing outfit
 is satisfactory in peace time, it is de- | ficient for war service.
 i Men are called on for long periods of 1 pickett boat duty or other work which
 exposes them to trying conditions of
 sea and weather. Duty in the mine | fields rapidly destroys clothing. Res
 cues have to be made or shipwrecked | people cared for and clothing must be furnished to them. So it becomes de- sirable to have civilian organizations furnish to the navy, free of charge.
 certain useful articles of clothing and | equipment. Long woolen socks muf- | flers, wristlets, sleeveless sweaters and hooded caps, pulling down over ! the neck, are especially desired. ! The local organization apepals to the women of the Salt River valley to as sist in this good work In the fall a
 knitting class will be established at the Red Cross rooms, but during the
 summer work can be given out only | to experienced knitters, as both the Red Cross and the Navy League are
 very exacting in their inspection.

service on August 1, 1917, at which time the new telephone directory will be distributed and will contain all number changes occaSiOned by the new installation.
 The increased demand for long dis tance service is being met by the con- struction of a number of additional long distance circuits. The copper metallic circuits have been strung north to Prescott and a way circuit to Wickenburg, accommodating mining camps and pleasure resorts in that region.
 An additional circuit to Maricopa via Tempe. and a circuit from Phoenix to Avondale is under construction to handle the business of the Southwest Cotton company
 Three additional circuits to Mesa one from Mesa to Florence, and an- other from Phoenix to Tucson-two from Somerton to Yuma, comprise the long distance facilities provided in this district.
 Two long distance switchboard po- sitions are being installed to accom- modate these new circuits. A long distance repeater station is scheduled for installation in the Phoenix office July 15 and will greatly improve the lIdl.SdCliou oH lOhS ldul COuNeTSd- tionS.
 A new exchange building is under construction at Mesa, and the present magneto system will be replaced by common battery plant at that point
 An addition is being built to the Chandler office, and a new exchange building is being constructed at Som erton, IA miles south of Yuma
 The pronounced activity in all agri- cultural pursuits throughout the val ley has stimulated the demand for rural service, and two new sections of manual switchboard are being provid- ed at Phoenix to handle the increased traffic on ranch lines.
 On the completion of this work ample facilities will be available to meet the present abnormal demand for telephone service, as well as pro- vide reserve equipment for the autumn rush of business.

Arizon a Annazon ''Ml@ase DeadlieEs'
 Than Am Officer

Charles McGarr, incumbent deputy sheriff in Maricopa county while as signed the special duty of escorting one of Arizona's misleading citizens, of sole Heather hue, from Douglas 10 Florence, involved himself in an em- barassing situation. The ,"gentle- man" (who tried to bc )aG many from Mexico had just taken out tive years contract, by "consent" Of the court, to serve the state of Ari- zona in one of her most unpopular institutions. MT. McGarr had been appointed a special guide lest the stranger from the neighboring re- public should lose his way to his destination. On his way passing through the city with his guest, Mr. McGarr stopped at his home on East Van Buren and left his oo-traveler on the porch in charge of his 13- year old son while he stepped inside to adjust his tie and take a sip o7 tea.
 Young McGarr did not like the looks of the stranger, who he i'm agined had served as high private ic. the rear ranks of Villas "grano army" Consequently he played safe by staying inside the door and taking peep now and then to give alarm in case he saw anything suspicuous. Between peeps the dark compIectea sojourner "ditched," evaporated, made himself scarse"--just like that in the twinkling of an eye. The next peep proved surprise for the boy and he gave the alarm. A posse was at once formed of the whole family and search of the neighbor- hood immediately ensueu. The gam. or object of their quest had "treed" himself nearby and was discovered by Mrs. McGarr.
 Now, Mrs. McGarr can speak Spanish and she inquired of the "Pale' and frightened member of the "weaker sex" what he was doing in the tree. He replied, q am looking for the officer" His captor assured him that she would assist him in finding the party he was eseking. A triumPhal procession was formed in the vicinity of the oity's water tower and the captive graced the path that led to the home of the fearless Anna zon. They say that the "femaIe of the species is deadiier than the maie,' at least that's the way it ap- peared to the man up the tree; anu that comes as timely suggestion, and that is that Arizona's kmazons take the places of the men during the war while Arizona sends a troop of deputy sheriffs to the front.

the Lord may lead you to a favor able decision"
 At the meeting of the advisory committee Dr. Narney emphasized especially five things in favor of his accepting the call: The urgent need of the college; the conviction of the college that he was the man for the place; opportunity for lifetime ser vice; a college atmosphere in whicn to rear his family; the opportunity of educating his children such as could be secured in no other way.
 The committee was unanimous in expressions of regret that the church should have to make the sacrifice at this time, that it would have to make in releasing Dr. Varney; and the unanimous expression was that Dr. Varney should be permitted to com plete, as only he could complete, the magnificent and efficient work for the church that he has begun here; but just as unanimous was the ex- pression that this church must DC unselfish in the matter, and that the call must be regarded as being a call from God to larger and greater service. It was unanimously voted to recommend to the church that Dr. Varney be released from his pastor ate here that he may accept the call of the college; that his resignation take effect on the 31st day of August, but that he be allowed to take his leave if he so chooses, on the 18th of August, thereby extending to him d half month holiday on full pay.
 All of which is fraternally sub mitted.

There are at least 3300O people living within the corporate limits Of the city of Phoenix. There are nearly 40 900 people living within the terri tory served by the Phoenix offices of the Mountain States Telephone X Tel egraph company. And these offices today present a scene of busting ac- tivity, reflecting the prosperity and development of the Salt River valley.
 The foregoing are but a few of the observations of P c. Gettins, district manager of the Mountain States Tele phone & Telegraph company. They are based on facts and figures con- corning the development and progress of the telephone company in this dis trict.
 According to Manager Gettins there are now total of 5,011 telephones in Phoenix or within the ranch line radius. There are 4,400 automatic in struments in service in the mile and quarters radius of the central office. Telephone company staticians claim that an average of one telephone to every ten of population is fair es- innate. Manager Gettins says that Phoenix is more ''intensively tele phoned" than the majority of cities He says that there are not more than eight people in Phoenix to each tele phone in use, perhaps only seven. He is willing to split the difference and place the estimate at seven and one half people to each telephone. That would indicate exactly 8 900 people in the city of Phoenix proper.
 Another remarkable thing in con- nection with the telephone business in Phoenix this summer is found in the fact that there have been fewer dis connections ordered and more installa- tions required than in any like previ- Ous period in the history of the com pany locally. This means perhaps, that more people are remaining at home this summer than ordinarily or that there has been a greater influx of summer visitors than in other years.
 During the past six months the local exchange has gained 900 subscribers, which is three times the number gained in any previous six months period Normally in the summer months there is a decided slump in the demand for telephone service, but the local office now has 105 orders on hand for new telephones, which is an unprecedented condition at this season of the year.
 A new switch-room has been added to the automatic department, and a force of 15 men is now engaged in installing central office automatic equipment to accommodate 1,000 ad- ditional telephones
 The switching capacity of the pres ent equipment is also being increased 50 per cent, which will enable the local exchange to handle a much larger volume of business.
 A considerable part of the new cen tral office equipment which is being installed in the Phoenix office was cut into service during the past week and has relieved the traffic congestion to a marked degree The remainder of the new equipment will be cut into
