Would Build New D0rmit0ries
Institution Now i'm Over-Crowded Condition

Popular among the re q u e S s
shown in this years session of the
legislature are those for dormitories,
dormitory for boys of the North
ern Arizona Normal School; boy S
dormitory for Tempe Norm |
School, and a dormitory for boys
and another for girls at the Univer-
sity of Arizona These requests
bring to mind the question as to
whether the state should provide
dormitories in its several institn-
tons or whether the students of
these institutions should seek 1odg-
ing away from their campuses
It seems to be the unanimous
opinion of the heads of Our state
institutions that dormitories are es-
sentia1 in Arizona. The. period of
a college education is usually the
period during which the student
enters into his own responsibilities
1t is the most important time of
his life, the time when he breaks
loose from home ties and is the
caretaker of his own money. There
is probably nothing more important
than the association of that boy
during the period from II to 21
years of age. He begins to see life
from new angle; it is the period
of deve1opement from the boy to
the man.
The University of Arizona fully
realizes its responsibilities in this
particular, but is under a decided
disadvantage. At the University
are two groups of students, those
living in the dormitories and those
elsewhere. Those on the campus
are in close association and friend
ship with forty or fifty other stu

A Booster for Charleston Dam

This Office received letter from
a subscriber in Ell Paso this week,
said in part. Il am glad to see
the Benson Signal boosting the

good work and count me in if there

the committee wishes to take up a
subscription to carry on the work,
am willing to contribute to such

That's what we say, keep up the

tagious. It is the only contagious

dents, many of whom are working
their own way. They see thrift
ness, and are encouraged to practice
it. They are housed with students
who are studlous, and they see the
value of study and follow lead; they
are housed with students who have
acquired leadership, and they are
stimulated to work for leadership
themselves.
The students living off the camp
us have none of these Inspirations
they live alone, or with one or two
other fellows, and while the Uni
versity exercises supervision over
all students, whether or not they
live on the campus, to see that they
hare not lead into bad habits, the diff
ficllty comes in being unable to
lead them into good habits. This
is one of the big advantages of dor
mitories.
Another matter of material i'm
portance is the cost. Whereas the
cost of room in the dormitory at
the University of Arizona is So per
month, it is impossible in the City
of Tucson to get satisfactory room
for less than $12 per month. This
is really a serious matter to most of
the students, as probably three
fourths of them are working their
way through college. To them it
is struggle to get an education-a
dollar looks as big as a cart wheel
and SO extra a month means great
deal to them. 1t means 36 hours
of outside work to bear the extra
burden, time that should be given
to study.
1t is not only serious from a fin

BATTERY ECONOMY
WHY It IS NEEDED

In order to get the very best re-
suits from the electrical system on
a motor car, it is necessary TO get
the full amount of current delivered
from the storage battery to the cleo
trical system. In covering the subject
the willard Storage Battery company
of Cleveland, emphasize the care that
should be exercised in keeping ter
minals and all wire connections clean
and tight. A loose connection or a
terminal which may have some acid
on it after the battery mas been filled,
will become coTroded and create Il
greater resistance for the electrical
current to pass through.
This. naturally Weakens the strength
of the current and at the same time
wears out the connections by eating
through them. After filling a battery
with water, it is well to wipe off the
top carefully with a piece of waste
or an old cloth dampened with amonia
or washing soda solution, and to see
that an wires are fastened tightly be-
fore the car is put into operation
again.
Points like these may seem simple to
the average car owner. but by care
fully following the instructions of bat
terry experts, better starting and light
ing service are sure to result. The

city are Arizona service representa-
tives of the Willard Storage Battery
company.

one need say what these needless
things are. Ones own best judgment,
if honestly followed, will be sure
guide.
Remember this, profit by it, and only
a few days, maybe hours. perhaps
minutes, and there will be a surplus of
money for which there will appear no
immediate use. That is the very first
result and reward of thrift, In a short
time, the person who holds right to
such q purpose Will be amazed at how
little is really necessary for complete
and happy living, us compared with
his larger powers Of production; in
other words how much profit-surplus
there is in work when the items
paid out-the eXpenses-are reduced
to simple normal demand.
To exercise thrift requires some
fiXity of purpose, an effort of mind, an
exercise Of will-power. AS an aid to
definite decided action. Thrift Day IS
set aside as an objective point, to
which and from which thrift plans can
be more readily worked Every day
of the year will more easily become a
thrift day, because of the special at
tention and consideration given to the
anniversary
Start a new thrift habit on Thrift
Day. There is untold satisfaction in
self help-self- betterment; there will
be much enjoyment in participating
with the many thousands who now

Shakespeare's matchless story Of love
and tragedy scarcely needs to be re-
freshed in the minds of the public,
since the tale has always been
favorite one. Romeo and Juliet who
fall in love with each other at first
sight, are members of two noble
families in Verona, Italy, who have
for years been at enmity with each
other. In the production. fidelity to
the greatest dramatic poet of all ages
has been carried to the last degree.
Every member OF the cast was obliged
to learn the words of the play and
repeat them with the proper action,
before the camera. The genious of
Mr.. Bushman and Miss Bayne has
never been SO well eXemplified as in

SILVER AND COPPER To Be
METALS MOST IN DEMAND

with the buying of the government Of
this country, keeping demand at close
to the production point. For the
first ten days of the current month,
silver maintained a level of above IS
cents an ounce, and while for the
moment, there is a temporary reaction
it is considered as only preliminary TO
another early upswing that may carry
the white metal above 81 an ounce,
and set the profits OF the silver pro-
ducers at new high record points.
In Analysing market conditions, 1t
will be seen that, although the profits
of the silver producers have been
substantially increased through the
advance in silver metal, the securities
of the silver producers, whether the
metal is produced as an original prod
uct, or in combination with base
metals, have been practically az a
stanGstill, owing to the excitement in
the copper share market. That silver
shares are TO come in for a great deal
of attention during the coming year
is fully recognized, and many shrewd
traders are buying steadily of the
silver, silverlead and silver-Zinc pro-
ducers, in the belief that the retention
of these stocks over a reasonable
period, will reray the patience of their
Interest is again swinging back to
the coppers, chiefly owing to the
rumors that Great Britain, acting for
the allied powers, will shortly place
an order with American producers for
the requirements of copper for de-
livery during the latter half of 1917.
1t is stated that the order will be
larger than any previous contract
placed by the allied powers, which is
taken to mean that it will be at least
for 500,000000 pounds OF the metal.
In view of the business placed during
the latter part of 1916 for delivery
during the current year. it is indicated
that such an order will practically
clean UT the production uncontracted
for at the present writing, with the
exception of a few small lots. 1t is
stated that the contract may be placed
around 81 cents a pound, but the effect
of the deunding of the mrket for red
metal for the balance of 1917 is eX-
pected to create record breaking cop
per prices for last half delivery metal
to those manufacturers who have yet
failed to cover their requirements
Should the production of the coun
try during the last six months of the
year be placed under contract at the
figure named, there is likely to be
substantial divident increases among
the producers within the next few
| months. While desirable to keep sub
stantial treasury resources on hand, il
| is recognized that the sums of money
accumulated are getting unwidely, anC
that stockholders are entitled to q
more generous distribution Of profits
Such conditions, we believe, viii
create a new bull market in the cop
| per shares, representing both the pro-
ducing and non producing companies
and the establishment of higher price:
for the coppers in 1917 than were

this same doctor appears to prosecute
her, asking the hand of her daughter,
as the price of his silence. Here
