PRAYER FLAGS OF TIBET.
Every Flutter Sends a Plea to HeaVsnp

Every Flutter Sends Plea to Heavenr
 the Natives Believe,
 Enclrcling the buildings OF Thasa, Tibet, is the sacred road, merely to walk along which absOves the mortal from all earthly sins, and many pill grims prostrate themselves for It's en- tire length, thus securing everlasting happiness in their future life.
 The most interesting portion of the sacred road Is where 1t runs through some sharp limestone rocks, carved deeply with figures of Buddha painted In many COlors.
 From the rocks prayer flags are sus pended on lines running to an island In the river. These prayers are uni versal In Tibet, and so long as they are moving they are recording prayers for the benefit of those who put them up.
 All deyotees. men and women, walk, always turning n small hand prayer wheel filled with minute prayers print ed on thin paper, and larger prayer wheels. filled in some cases with tons of paper prayers, are set revolving by the devOut or are sometimes worked by water power Smaller ones are turned by the hot air rising from but. ter lamps.
 Single prayers printed on thin cloth are strung vertically on poles or stretched across open spaces to futter In the wind and thus send millions Of prayers vibrating toward the Omnipo- tent for the benefit of some ones soul They are most picturesque. An old lama once questioned on the sub feet told me that If the person turn ing the wheel truly believed that by doing so he was accommodating merit 1t would certainly count as a meri- torious action. ."-Nauonal Geographic Magazine.

s0NAEUR'S MASTERPIECE.
Story of che Famoua FrenOh ArtlStS
 Painting, "The Horse Falr."

Story of the Famou8 Frenoh RrtiScG
 Painting, "The Horse Fair."
 In her story of Rosa Bonheur in "Tales From the Od World and the New" Sophie NJ. Collmann, the author, writing of the artists masterpiece, 'dThe Horse Fair," says:
 Never, surely, had there been so many sketches of horses; they covered the walls, the tables, the chairs, the easels and even the floor, for the world Just then held nothing for Rosa but horses. She painted away at them un- til she could have done 1t with her eyes shut Every horse in the great picture had been sketChed countless times, and still Rosa felt that she must try just one more pose,
 "All things, however, must come to an end, even sketches, and so in the course of time the Horse Fair was finished. The world has pronounced It Rosa Bonheur's masterpiece, for al- though she was to paint many splendid pictures in the, years still to come, none would ever quite equal this.
 "My Parthenon frieZe,' she called It in jest, but that Is just what 1t Is frieze of horses; there Is not much landscape, and the men hardly count, and they have usurpei the entire can vas, these ponderous Norman horses, gray, brown and sorrel, ready to stam- pede out of the picture and aXing all the strength of the blue blOused hos tiers to hold them in. Rosa had wish, ed to portray vigorous life and motion, and she knew that she had succeeded.
 Many of her pictures went to for eIgn lands, and she hoped that this one might remain in France, but 1t, too, went on its travels, and as though the restless horses could not endure quiet, never stopped until it had cross ed the ocean, and after many adven- lures was finally tethered in the Met ropolitan museum. in New York city far, far away from Rosa's studio"

An Ancient Aqueduet.

The ancient Roman aqueduct at Mines Is generally considered the most perfect of Roman relics. It consists of three great tiers of arches, the lowest having been used as q bridge and the uppermost as an aQueduct. It rises about l2O feet above the level of the river. The Pont du Gard, as 1t is called, is believed to have been built under the supervision of Agrippa, the Roman general, about fifty years be- fore Christ.

 Two gifts of Liberty Loan bonds have already come to the Red Cross One was from a girl who has to work She gave her bond which she is paying for in s installments. This is a real, sin cere sacrifice.
 Business houses are doing their bit by giving a per cent or all of their reve- nues. The Hip theater has rendered the Red Cross all the proceeds of one per formance and the offer has been ac- cepted. With the consent of the man ager, Art Kicks, the local chapter plans to take Monday for its day at the Hip. An announcement of date and details ,ni be made later so that ali may make f 9 business to go to the show on that day.
 If the American peopie in Arizona would support the Red Cross war fund as universally and as nberally, relative ly speaking, as the Greeks and Chinese. the matter of financial aid might be considered settled right now.

Jut of the $25000 to be raised in Phoenix jusE $11,23565 has been raised up to Satur- day evening. This includes all pledges and subscriptions, even the generous donation of $l 600 from Mrs. Kate c. Millett, who is giving the entire cost of one ambulance. Less than 300, aside from the aliens who have contributed, have subscribed to the fuhd so far. However, those who have been reached have been very liberal, the onl.7 trouble being to secure volunteer workers su that more may be interviewed.
 At the meeting tonight some of the most able speakers in the valley will be heard. The meeting is to be held lr the Y M c. A. stadium and it is ex- pected that hundreds, even thousands, win attend.

BIRDS n HARM
 BUT DAMAGE IS
 OVERESTIMATED

R. G, Hot, federal official of the biological survey called at The Repub- ican office yesterday to take issue with several contributions to this paper re- gently on the subject of white wings. Sonora and mourning doves, dealing with their destructive character and suggesting a lengthening of the open season for them.
 MT. Holt said he mad conducted an investigation of the birds throughout the valley from Arlington to Higley "0d he had found that while they de- stroy a great deal of grain their de- predations have been greatly exagger- .,eo.-. Ihere are more of the mourning f"vnS than of either of lne other kinds of birds and they are so well distri- buted over the valley that the damage inflicted by them upon the grain fields is not extensive. There are so few of the Sonora doves that they may be re- garded as negligible.
 As to the white wings he found that where the birds had congregated in abnormally large numbers they had done a great deal of damage but he found only two such instances. One of them was near Arlington. The birds had cOngregated just outside the cul- tiVated region and fed on the adjacent SldIUlleiuS. III SUCH cases, NIT. f1Oll De lieved that something should be for the protection of the farmers though he had no special suggestion to offer but he believed the game warden could find a way.
 He did think though, that an earlier onening of the open season would be the way. This Is the nesting season for the birds and in two or three years if that practice were followed there would be no white wings or doves and favorite game bird of the valley would exist only in the memory of loca: sportsmen.
 The only unpreventable damage done by the birds is while the grain in uncut. After that, if headed or cut and shocked, it could be immediately removed to the thresher or stacked and covered with tarpaulins. little trouble he believed was worth taking to preserve the birds for game purposes

 BOOSTER HERE

w. A. McCammond, special repre- sentative of Redondo Beach, California, is in Phoenix, stopping at the Hotel Adams, where he will remain for few days.
 MT. McCammond is here distributing literature descriptive of Redondo Beach and meeting people who expect to visit the coast this summer, telling them of the attractions of the famous beach re- sort which has been enlarged and many features added
 Redondo Beach, located 21 miles from Los Angeles is the summer playground for an ever-increasing number of vis- itors, its fishing, bathing beaches, sum mer cottages, tent city and other num- erous attractions proving most popular.
 One of the features of the resort is he big concrete fishing and amusement pier, built last year by the city, with it's specially arranged outer platform for fishers, and it's cool promenades for those who enjoy the ocean breezes.
 Amusement concessions of every sort are now running full blast and the present season bids fair to be a most successful one.

tee had a like experience. They did not take census as they proceeded but they called on every Chinese they could hear about and not one of them turned them empty away.
 Yellow Dick, the so-chlled mayor of Chinatown, accompanied the committee as interpreter and the usual thing was for the Chinese addressed to listen in tently for moment after which his face frightened into a smile and with a complimentary remark for the Red Cross his hand went into his pocket Not only the stores and laundries were visited but the committee made a day break canvass of ali the vegetable peddlers with the same result. "Only litti' bit but here it is."
 The total contributions or rae Chinese amounted to $222. This looks small compared with Tucson put that city has a vastly larger Chinese population and among them are many well to Ct merchants. The Phoenix Chinese are mostly laborers and peddlers
